_Eighth._--PICTORIAL COMICALITIES, in which wit and humor will be addressed to the eye; and affectations, follies, and vice, chastised and corrected. The most scrupulous care will be exercised that in this department humor shall not pass into vulgarity, or satire degenerate into abuse. _Ninth._--THE FASHIONS appropriate for the season, with notices of whatever novelties in material or design may make their appearance. The Publishers here renew the expression of their thanks to the Press and the Public in general, for the favor which has been accorded to the New Monthly Magazine, and solicit such continuance of that favor as the merits of the successive Numbers may deserve.
