PROSPECTUS OF THE GALVES'l'ON
WEEKLY NEWS.
On Saturday the 6th of January next the publication of a
weekly paper will be tommenced by the undersigned enti-
tled Tue Galveston Weekly News devoted to Politics Lite-
rature Foreign and Domestic Intelligence Commercial Af-
fairs and the General News of the Day.
It will be pu lKhed in conjunction with the Tri-Weekly
Evening New- under the management of R. D. Sebring Editor
whose entire attention i-hall be devoted to render the columns
of fhe Weekly News useful and interesting to every chiss of
readers. A marked degree of respect and attention .shall at all
times be paid to tbe communications of experienced correspon-
dents (the valuable aid of a number of whn.h has been already
secured) and every exertion uedjp adopt and pursue such a
course as shall be best calculated Tb redeem thercoramercial
character of our country to elevate the character of our na-
tional literature and to sustanvthe character of our national
iutitutions. -- T 7
Tn pac-far-Nmi w nTpeindependent pledged tojione
open to all; reserving to itself the right to praise or censure the
measures of those who are in power or the pretentions of tbose
who may aspire to it juat as they. may be considered calcula-
ted to result in the good or evil ol the country.
In relation to the measures ol the present administration it
is contended th it they have not been 1 lie best that could have
been adopted for the interest and welfare of the country and
that those in powei have either through ignorance or willful-
ness trifled with the important trusts repo-ed in them by the
people. An earnest and unflinching support shall be given to
the claims of justice of those who it is befeived have been ma-
liciously and deeply injured by the highhanded and unlawful
proceedings of tne present Executive.
A prominent feature in the political principles of the News
will be the advocacy of the expediency and necessity of keep-
ing in repair and in a seaworthy cundition the vessels f our
navy while the affairs of the country remain in therr present
unsettled condition. It has been satisfactorily demonstraied
that with our navy we are able to contend suuce-slully with
any force that our enemy can bring against us whereas with-
out a navy we would be entirely at their mercy.
The Literary department of the News shall n t be found in-
ferior to that of any paper published in the country; a prefei-
ence always bsiug given to original articles and the best en-
deavors of its conductor used to cul'ivate a liberal taste for the
literary productions of our own authors.
A portion of each number will be devoted to the publication
of a carefully compiled summary of foreign and domestic news
always bearing in mind however the fact that matters ol a lo-
cal nature arc far more interesting to the public than any thing
else the editor will not lose sight of this department and will
endeavor to collect and record such incidents on di-s of humor
and general information as will be'deemed most interesting and
profitable to the reading community.
Arrangements have already been made to ensure thp receipt
of a correct and impartial record of the proceeding of the ap-
proaching Congress and from the nature of the subjects thet
will engage the attention of the honorable botjy will in ail
prob-ibility be of the most important and vital interest.
In relation to matters pertaining more especialy to the city
its improvements its morals and rational amusements no ef-
forts shall be spared by its conductor to place the "News on
such a footing a to make it a medium through which an a-
inounl of this species of information shall be conveyed to the
public at least equal to that of any of its cotemporaries and in
a shape quite as attracting to the reader.
Accurate notices 01 tne marxe's win now ana men De given
and a carefully prepared prices current will at all times be
found inlheNews. A. regularly corrected Bank Note Tabh:
will also have a place in its rolumns.
The News will be of medium size printed on fine paper and
shall contain all the news of the week made up from ti.e Tri-
Weekly. The publishers two of whom are practical printers and de-
termined that no pains or labor shall be spared to make the
News in appearance equal and npt itiferi ir to any pspei
published in the Republic.

"I have been acquainted with the Rev. Calebs. Ives for many
years past and during the last two years have been associated with
him as an officer of this institution. I have found him excellently
fitted in all respects to bean instructor of jomh. His industry; de-
cision and patient good temper qualify him ma high degree as a
governor o the young while his accurate scholarship and untiring
zeal render him equally successful as"a teacher. In commuting their
children to the instruction of Mr. Ives parents may feel the most
assurance- that they are placing them under the care of one who is
pi rfectly competent to all he undertakes and who will look with the
most scrupulous care to the fulfilment of every trust committed to
