took place. At an early hour the Ian COM

menced, aud IS still falling at The time we write
this article, We hope that that there wiflbe a
good season throughout the upcountry were it

THE ILLUSTRATED WEEKLY HERALD.
A FOURTH EDITION REQUIRED
Wonderful Success Of Newspaper
I,ifnrature.

Monday, we published third edition Of many
thousands of the Illustrated Weekly Herald, con-
tanning an account of the riots iii Philadelphia.
We have now printed fourth edition Of just as
many thousands, to supply the demand for the
Great Western" and packets yet to sail.
The manner in which this illustrated Weekly
Herald has been received by the public has asto-
mis- ed even us, who were long since prepared to
be astonished at nothing. Many attempts have
been heretofore made to establish pictorial papers
in this city, but from their nvariable want Of suc-
cess, the poverty Of the effort, want Of talent and
genius in managing it, it was supposed that such a
thing could not be made to succeed here. We
have shown, however, that such paper, if proper
Iy got up, is certain of receiving ample patronage
and support
One Of the most curious results of the popularity
Of this paper has been, that great proportion of the
recent sales have been amongst the Irish-the most
pious and determined followers Of Bishop Hughes,
who bought the beautiful illustrated Herald in the
very face of his bull of accommodation against
all who would touch or look at the Herald
We mean 10 continue at proper intervals. and as
occasion may require, the publication of Illus rated
Weekly Heralds We have four or five artists al
most constantly in our employment; and we are
prepared to give graphic illustrations of the pro-
gress of society, and all important events in the
most expeditions, accurate, and graphic style. As
soon as the excitement of these riots is over, we
shall enter on the work Of illustrating the manner
in which the two great parties are conducting the
Presidential contest, by means Of engravings, of
the beauty and excellence of which no one can
form any conception until thew are published

Another Splendid Weekly Herald,
ILLUSTRATED WITH
NUMEROUS ENGRAVINGS
Scenes Of the Mormon Riots, Ill.
MURDER OF TIE PROPHET.

The remarkable success Of our last illustrated
Weekly Herald, has induced US to make another
attempt Of a similar description for next Saturday,
which will, we think, surpass anything we have
yet done. Our designers and artists, five six in
number, have been engaged in preparing series
Of graphic and elegant engravings, Illustrative Of
the recent terrible riots in Illinois, which ended in
the assassination Of Joe Smith and his brother. the
Mormon leaders. These illustrations will COM
prise all the principal incidents in the deplorabe
events which have almost disgraced Illinois as
deeply as the recent outbreaks have disgraced Phil
adelphia.
The first engraving will be correct representa-
ton of the scene presented on the destruction of
the office of the Nanvoo Erpositor, under the au-
thority of Joe Smith, the Mayor Of the Holy City.
This, it will be recollected, was the leading cause
of the subsequent proceedings which resulted in
the murder of the Prophet, and which may yet
lead TO the expulsion OF the Momons from illinois,
in the same manner as they were driven from Mis-
souri,. The second engraving will represent the
assassination, presenting the crowd roand the Jail,
and the Prophet in the act of falling from the win
dow, after receiving the bullets of his enemies.
The third scene illustrated will be the arrival of the
dead bodies on the high ground at Nauvoo, the
procession winding rouad the Holy City, with that
in the back ground in perspective. The fourth en-
craving will represent the imposing scene presented
the delivery of the funeral Grafton and the burial
of the slain, at the Holy Temple.
All these illustrations have been designed by our
artists from accurate sketches taken on the spot by
persons familiar with the localities, and who were
witnesses Of the scenes represented They will
be accompanied by full and accurate historical
account Of all the incidents connected with these
events, from the first debate in the Council at Maui
relative to the ordinance against the Erpostor,
down to the burial Of the Prophet. This descrlp-
ton has been compiled from the accounts Of papers
Of all parties in that region, that the impartial
reader will be able to form correct opinion Of
these barbarous and atrocious proceedings in the
half-civilized State of Illinois.
This magnificent illustrated Weekly Herald will
be ready at o'clock on Saturday morning next, in
order to be in readiness for all who desire to trans
nit it to their friends in all parts of Europe, by the
"Great Western" There will be other engravings
besides those we have enumerated, but the price
for the whole will be only 81 for single copy
