We have prepared the INDEX of our Second Volume on

a different principle from that of last year; and we hope it will prove more generally useful to our readers. The former one having been unstamped, and published separately, was placed beyond the reach of our readers in the country. We have on this oceagion condensed the matter' and printed it in a smaller type ; while at the same time we have endea- voured, by limiting the Umber of our advertisements, to obviate as much as pos- sible the effects of its encroachment on other departments of the paper. We solicit the indulgence of readers, of correspondents, and of those friends whose advertise- ments we have been obliged to postpone.

Some typographical improvements are in contemplation, but they cannot be carried into effect for some weeks.
