New York Weekly Tribune.
PROSPECTUS.

The Publishers of The New YoRK TRIBUNE
encouraged by the generous patronage and hearty
approval which has been extended to their Daily
paper since its establishment, and which has al
ready rendered it the second in point of circulation
in the city, will publish, on and after Saturday
next, WEEKLY edition. on a sheet of mammoth
size, excluding all matter of local or transitory
interest, and calculated mainly for country crcula
ton.
THE TRIBUNE-whether in its Daily or Weekly
edtion-will be what its name imports-an I'M
finchng supporter of the Peoples Rights and
Interests, in stern hostility to the errors of super
fetal theorists, the influences of unjust or mper-
feet legislation, and the schemes and sophistres
of self-soeking demagogues. 1t will strenuously
advocate the Protection Of American Industry
against the grasping and to us blighting policy
OF European Governments, and the unequal com
petition which they force upon US, as also against
the present depressing system of State Prison La
Dor; it will advocate the restoration of sound
and uniform NATIONAL CURRENCY; and urge dis
Greet but determined prosecution Of Internal I'M
provement. The Retrenchment, wherever practi-
cable, Of Government Expenditures and Of Exec
utve Patronage, will be zealousy urged. In short,
this paper will faithfully maintain and earnestly
advocate the Principles and Measures which the
People approved in devolving on Wing Statesmen
the conduct of their Government.
But small portion, however, OF its columns
will be devoted to purely Political discussions
The proceedings of Congress will be carefully re-
corded the Foreign and Domestic Intelligence ear
y and lucldly presented; and whatever shall appear
calculated to promote Morality, maintain Social
Order, extend the blessings of Education, or in
any way subserve the great cause of Human Pro-
gress to ultimate Virtue, Liberty and Happiness,
will find place in our columns.
THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be publish,d ovor,
Saturday morning in Quarto form or very large
imperial sheet, (3l by AZ inches and afforded t.
Subscribers at TWO DOLLARS a year Six cop
les will be Forwarded year for Ten Dollars
Ten copies for Fifteen Dollars, and any larger
number in the latter proportion. Payment in ad
vance will be invariably required, and the papel
stopped whenever the term of such payment ex
| pires. Subscriptions are solicited by

enabled her to gather for day OF need.
Walton came t" New York, and found
it all he had anticipated. He commenced
a small business, and prospercd ina mod

par,Urc, was united to a young man, who
shortly after this event, resolved to leave
his native land. The newly married pair
came to New York, but learning nothing
of Walton, and struggling with stlnled
means, removed into the country.
A few weeks since, there arrived IN tins

horsemen crowded him down toward the

horsemen followed and drove him ont,
