NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
PROSPECTUS FoRTHE YEAR 1850.

The proprietor of the NEW YORK LEDGER is
graed ut having it in his power to announce in his
prospectus for the new ycar-lS59-that all the old
popular and eminent writers Of the LEDGER staff
have been retained and new ones added. Among
the latter We are pleased to mention the name Of
the Hon. EDWARD EVERETT, who is to furnish
series of articles, to be continued during the en-
tire year, under the title OF "THE MOUNT YER
NON PAPERS" For these articles alone We have
already paid Mr.. Everett, (for the benefit of the
Ladies' Mount Vernon Assocattn,) the sum of
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
As an indication of tho popularity Of the LEDG-
ER, we need only state the simple fact, that its
circulation is larger than that of any other TEN
literary papers in the country. Its great success
is owing to the facts that its proprietor secures the
best writer's in the country and spares no expense
in getting up the BEST FAMILY PAPER-a
paper of high moral tone. Tho exalted reputation
of its contributors, the practical and invariably
pure and healthy character Of its articles, the
taken that not even offensive word shall appear
in its columns, and the superiority Of its tales and
sketches, have gained for the NEW YORK LEDG.
Ek position that no literary paper has ever be-
fore reached, We feel and always have felt, since
the LEDGER attained its immense circulation,
that heavy responsibility rests upon us, andeave
endcavored to discharge that responsibility consci
cntiousy, feeling confident that ultimately we
should receive the thanks Of thousands and tens Of
thousands of families
AS to the future, we arc at a loss what to say.
What VIC have heretofore done is known to our
renders--they know what the LEDGER has been,
and is now, and must therefrom judge what it will
be hereafter We can only say that among the
regular contributors to the LEDGER are:
GEORGE D. PRENTICE. FANNY FERN.
JOHN c. SANE. MRS. sIGouRNEY.
sfLvANuS COBB, JR. MRS. soUTHwoRTB.

CARLOS D. STUART. MARY STANLEY GIBSON.

and many eminent Lawyers, Clergymen, Professors
in Colleges, and others, who write for the LEDGER
anonymously; and that our complete arrangements
are such that the current expenses Of the LEDGER
are now, and will constantly bc, at the rate of over
three hundred thousand dollars pr annum.
FACTS like these carry with them more weight
than any comments that could be made and COM
mcnts will therefore be dispensed with. As we
have already minated, shall leave promising to
those who prefer to expend their force in that way
and content ourselves with doing what can to
make the LEDGER the most interesting and u-
structive FAMILY PAPER in the World
