After some unavoidable delay, which I much regret, I now pre- I sent the Philadelphia Merchants' Diary and Guide, to my Patrons, and in a form so neat and compact, that I feel persuaded I it will give general satisfaction. The delay was occasioned, in the first place, in procuring paper of the proper quality; ! secondly, in the collection of the miscellaneous matter; and, thirdly and lastly, the difficulty of procuring, in this city, the t desired number of subscribers. Advertisements from New York and Boston were rejected, because I had stated in my ; Prospectus that the Work would be purely Philadelphian, and ; devoted exclusively to the advancement of the interests of - Philadelphia. My Patrons will see that I have given all that I promised, with the exception of the circulation of the Phila- delphia Newspapers and Magazines, which was omitted in consequence of the utter impossibility of obtaining correct in- formation, and the boundaries of the Wards, which it was found would occupy too much space. I have, however, added other valuable information, the procuring of which cost me j considerable time and expense. The location and nights of meeting of the different Lodges of the Freemasons, the Odd Fel- lows, aud the Sons of Temperance, will be found an attractive, as well as convenient feature of the GUIDE. In the volume for 1857, which I pledge myself will be out in good season, I propose to make still further improvements ; I having learned by this experiment, that several advantageous | changes may be made ; and I am resolved, if I am successful in j obtaining the desired patronage of the Merchants, Manufactu- | ! rers, and Mechanics of Philadelphia, to produce a work sur- passing in elegance and usefulness anything of the kind ever ] before published in this country. I have found since issuing j my Prospectus, (stating that the circulation would be 20,000 1 copies,) that some gentlemen doubted the veracity of the state- ment, in consequence, no doubt, of several of my predecessors having been strongly suspected (and probably not without reason) of " drawing'the long bow." But I can establish the fact beyond a doubt, as I can exhibit the signature of every subscriber, showing the number of copies each has received, and making in all, as can be readily shown, twenty thousand copies gratuitously delivered. Thus my Patrons, to whom I here take occasion to return my sincerest thanks, may easily comprehend the fact, that the Philadelphia Merchants' Diary and Guide, is the cheapest Advertising Medium in the United States. Being compelled to leave out several Advertise- ments, in consequence of the unexpected space required for miscellaneous matter, each subscriber will receive nearly one- fourth more copies of the Work than at first proposed. In conclusion, it gives me pleasure to speak in terms of un- qualified praise as to the tasteful and elegant manner in which Mr. Henry B. Ashmead, the Printer, has executed his portion of the Work.

The great success which has attended the exertions of the Publisher of the Weekly North American to supply the public with a Family Newspaper, which for cheapness, reliability and sound practical information, should stand unrivalled, encour- ages him to make increased efforts in the present volume, to en- large its sphere of usefulness. Writers of acknowledged merit have been engaged to adorn its literary, scientific and news de- partments with their choicest productions. Foreign correspon- dents, who enjoy rare facilities for obtaining the very latest in- telligence, are stationed at London, Dublin and Paris, and their contributions will appear regularly in its columns. A lady is engaged at Paris expressly to forward the fashions. The home correspondence will be equally important, and will embrace the writings of able persons in every section of the Union. The proceedings in Congress dm-ing this highly exciting session will also be fully reported. Everything relating to the progress of this State in Agriculture, Mining, Kailroads, Manufactures and Commerce will be given with especial care ; while the state ; of the Markets for Produce, Cattle, Merchandise. Stocks and I Money will receive the strictest attention. In the Farmers' Department will appear valuable and interesting articles on | the latest improvements in this branch of science, by an ex- i perienced Agriculturist. I The paper is always published on the day it is dated, and | contains by this means several days later news than those j weekly Journals that are issued considerably in advance of I their dates. The Weekly North American will give Telegraphic Corres- pondence to the moment of going to press from every portion ! of the country ; and Foreign News by way of Halifax three days I in advance of the mails; so that subscribers will have the ad- j vantage of obtaining the earliest tidings of every change in the political and commei - cial world. The Publisher confidently ! anticipates a renewal of the generous patronage he has enjoy- i ed ; and assures his readers that he will seek to place every ! subject of interest before them with the greatest despatch, and ! to make the Weekly North American a family, literary and high-toned newspaper of surpassing excellence. Its astonishing cheapness will continue to commend it to all. Single copy, 1 year, $1 Twelve copies, 1 year, $10 Eight copies, " 7 Twenty -five copies, " 20 INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE.

ARMITAGE'S PATENT The Subscriber calls the attention of the public to his SUPERIOR It is now fully admitted on all hands, that every building to be secure from the destructive influences of Lightning, should be provided with a good conductor. The large number of worthless Eods that are put up makes it necessary for purchasers to examine the merits of the differ- ent rods offered for sale. I earnestly invite a i*igid examination of the principles on which my Rods are constructed. I have put up nearly 6,000 Rods, and have never heard of the loss of one dollar's worth of property by Lightning, in any building, to which one of my Rods has been attached. I therefore feel great confidence in recommending them, not only as the best, but as the only safe rod in use. RJr' The following gentlemen having examined these rods and given them their unqualified approbation, have kindly given me their permission to refer to them : — Walter R.

The Proprietor of the Philadelphia PENNSYLVANIA!*, in view of the Presidential Election, has made ample arrangements for the improvement of that Journal in all its various depart- ments, political, literary and commercial. He is determined to spare no expense or labor in supplying to his readers such a paper as will be an acceptable visitor at the fireside, and a re- sponsible and authentic guide during the trying struggles which await our common country. The Pennsylvanian has always been foremost in opposing the machinations of the Abolitionists, and in exposing their designs against the peace and perpetuity of the American Union. Animated by no mercenary motives, it could have secured both patronage and praise, had it catered to the vile and factious influence of that direful political ele- ment. It has preferred doing its duty to the Constitution, and has let consequences take care of themselves. TER 3VE JS. DAILY PENNSYLVANIAN. Double Sheet. $8 per annum, if paid in advance, or $7 at the end of the year. TB.I- WEEKLY PENNSYLVANIAN, Double Sheet, S3 per annum if paid in advance, or S3 50 at the end of the year. WEEKLY PEiMNSYLVANIAN, SI per annum if paid in ad- vance. The price of the WEEKLY PENNSYLVANIAN, for a single year, is ONE DOLLAR per annum, but for the purpose of further increasing the circulation, we offer the following in- ducements to Agents and others to form Clubs : One copy, one year, - - - - - - $1 00 Six copies " __-__-. 5 00 Twelve, " ______ io 00 Eighteen, " .----- 15 00 Twenty -five, " 20 00 LARGER CLUBS IN PROPORTION. — CASH ALWAYS IN ADVANCE. Although the rate at which the Weekly Pennsylvanian is | offered falls far below the real value of such a publication, we are willing for another year to test the experiment of continuing to issue it at this reduced price, in the confident hope that, by an extensive circulation, we may be secured from the heavy pecuniary sacrifice which such an experiment involves.

LbJa23 HERRING'S CHAMPION FIRE PROOF SAFES. WITH Hall's Patent Powder Proof Locks, Which were awarded separate Medals at the World's Fair, London, 1851, and also at the World's Fair, New York, 1853 and 1854. The subscribers are the sole Manufac- turers and Proprietors in this State of the above unequalled Safes and Locks. The reputation of the genuine " Her- ring's Safe" is world wide, and for the last fourteen years the mercantile com- munity have witnessed and borne testi- mony to their never failing fire proof qualities. More than 1-1,000 of these Safes have been actually sold, and over two hundred have passed triumph- antly through accidental fires. The public are assured that all Safes manu- factured by the subscribers are not only guarantied to be fully equal, but in many respects even superior to those which have been so severely tried by fire. Few will forget their ser- vices in the burning of the Tribune Establishment, New York, and at the Great Fire in Strawberry street, and at the large fire last July, opposite the€tirard House; and still more recently, in the Fire at Fifth and Chestnut streets in this city, in which these Safes came forth the acknowledged Champion, when many other securities failed.
