The remarkable success Of our last illustrated
Weekly Herald, has induced US to make another
attempt Of a similar description for next Saturday,
which will, we think, surpass anything we have
yet done. Our designers and artists, five six in
number, have been engaged in preparing series
Of graphic and elegant engravings, Illustrative Of
the recent terrible riots in Illinois, which ended in
the assassination Of Joe Smith and his brother. the
Mormon leaders. These illustrations will COM
prise all the principal incidents in the deplorabe
events which have almost disgraced Illinois as
deeply as the recent outbreaks have disgraced Phil
adelphia.


The first engraving will be correct representa-
ton of the scene presented on the destruction of
the office of the Nanvoo Erpositor, under the au-
thority of Joe Smith, the Mayor Of the Holy City.
This, it will be recollected, was the leading cause
of the subsequent proceedings which resulted in
the murder of the Prophet, and which may yet
lead TO the expulsion OF the Momons from illinois,
in the same manner as they were driven from Mis-
souri,. The second engraving will represent the
assassination, presenting the crowd roand the Jail,
and the Prophet in the act of falling from the win
dow, after receiving the bullets of his enemies.
The third scene illustrated will be the arrival of the
dead bodies on the high ground at Nauvoo, the
procession winding rouad the Holy City, with that
in the back ground in perspective. The fourth en-
craving will represent the imposing scene presented
the delivery of the funeral Grafton and the burial
of the slain, at the Holy Temple.


All these illustrations have been designed by our
artists from accurate sketches taken on the spot by
persons familiar with the localities, and who were
witnesses Of the scenes represented They will
be accompanied by full and accurate historical
account Of all the incidents connected with these
events, from the first debate in the Council at Maui
relative to the ordinance against the Erpostor,
down to the burial Of the Prophet. This descrlp-
ton has been compiled from the accounts Of papers
Of all parties in that region, that the impartial
reader will be able to form correct opinion Of
these barbarous and atrocious proceedings in the
half-civilized State of Illinois.


This magnificent illustrated Weekly Herald will
be ready at o'clock on Saturday morning next, in
order to be in readiness for all who desire to trans
nit it to their friends in all parts of Europe, by the
"Great Western" There will be other engravings
besides those we have enumerated, but the price
for the whole will be only 81 for single copy
