The want of such a Journal is felt by every intelli gent citizen, who desires to become at all acquainted with the resources of the State, our present condition, future prospects, ^c., and by none so much as by our Legislators. That we have no regular system of statistics, cannot be a.tributed to any want of material There are large iimounts of valuable and interesting information scattered through our Legislative and Executive Docu ments and Records, which, in their present situation, for all practical purposes, might as well be in the Chi nese language. Besides what our Legislative archives contain, our newspapers often publisli valuable statis tical information, which is either lost, or if preserved by a very few, is so inconvenient to find when wanted, that the facts are soon forgotten. The same may be said of the Reports and Statements from time to time made by our incorporated companies, and others en gaged in Manul’actures, Mines, Commerce, &c. To collect these various items of information, and give them to the public in a shape easy of reference and for perpetual preservation, as well ns to gather from all available resources, everything bearing di rectly or indirectly on our wealth, prosperity and in dustry, is the design of the JOURNAL now offered for public patronage. So far as the plan for conducting the same h:i§ been matured, the pages of the STATIST will be devoted to the arrangement of such tables relating to our POPULATION, .AGRICULTURE, COM.MERCE, EDU CAllON, PUBLIC l.MPROTEMENTS, .MANUFAC- TURLS, FISHERIES, .MINES, and Social Statistics generally, as will present their condition, and our pro gress in each. It is also designed to contain the Reports {condensed) ot the Public Treasurer, Commissioners of the Sinking Fund, Superintendent of Common Schools, and all other State Officers and Boards; as also. Statements and Reports of the condition and progress of the vari ous Railroad and Navigation Companies. The ST.ATIST will be put to press as soon as a suffi cient number of responsible names are obtained to pay the expenses of publication. The numbers will contain each, not less than 150 P.AGES of closely printed mat ter, making a book of 300 P.AGE.*', or more, to which will be addttd a full and complete index. TER.MS:—THREE DOLL.VRS PER .ANNU.M—ONE DOLLAR AND FIFTY CENTS, for SIX MONTHS; IHii/aUe u-ht-n the first number is ready for puhlication, ti'htch fact will be dull/ announced in the jniblic neu'spapers. fi^^Those persons intending to patronize the Jour nal, will send their names to the undersigned without delay, as it is detiirable to issue the first number as soon as possible.

PEARCE, JR. j July 30. 29-tf I iiishes reliable data, and presents a sound, substantial basis of actual experience, upon which to conduct its business. Insurance is not a matter of luck or chance, as many suppose; its hazards are ascertainable, and its principles capable of being reduced to a system, the practical working and results of which are as certain as that of any other business. The vEtna Company, by adhering rigidly to its system, and placing its busi ness upon a healthy basis, has obtained the confideuce of the community to an extent surpassed by no other Company in the U. States, and has increased its busi ness and its income from year to year with a steady growth. One great source of its security is the wide distribution of its risks—a policy which it pursues with great strictness—limiting the amount to be cov ered in each locality. By this course it has passed, with comparative impunity, through some ol the most sweeping and destructive fires, which have swallowed up other companies less cautious in their business. It is a system like this, bused upon experience, which gives stability an J soundness to a company, and to the as sured confidence and eecurity.—Baltimore Patriot. liAKTFOKD, CONN. INCORPORATED 1819.
