(IN CONSEQ: AND APPEAR IN TYPE LIVERPOOL STANDARD, TUESDAY, LIVERPOOL STANDARD .UENCE OF THE ABOLITION OF THE ADVERTISEMENT DUTY) WILL BE PERMANENTLY ENLARGED FIFTY-SIX COLUMNS NEXT, AUGUST Orn AtGEST Bill, a promise which he attempted to realise by proposing a reduction of the qualification, and grouping small towns into Parliamentary Boroughs. He encouraged the aggressions of Rome as far as he dared, and then had the audacity to avow his Protestant zeal, the sincerity of which was shewn by his Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which was asserted and has been proved to be utterly useless. In the commencement of 1852 he sur rendered office from acknowledged inability to hold it any longer, and then directly entered into a factious combination with men of extreme Radical opinions, whom he had formerly repudiated, in order to render office impracticable to his successor. And subsequently, when the Financial Statement of the Conservative CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hung in the balance, and success or defeat were alike possible, he held out false hopes to the Irish mem- bers to secure their opposition to it. There is no one act of his political life, whether in or out of office, which can be referred to with satisfaction ; and yet, 'so plausible have been his professions, and so credulous his hearers, that this man still occupies a leading place in the councils of our SOVEREIGN, and too many indulge in the egregious error of believing him to be an able statesman. There is not an institution in the country which he has not as sailed, not a cause which he has not betrayed, not a party which he has not deceived, not a form of patriotism which he has not assumed to serve the purpose of the hour, and yet, to the shame and dis grace of modern intelligence, his political chicanery has been allowed to triumph, as though there really were as great a pleasure in being cheated as to cheat. When the Earl of DERBY was compelled to surrender to faction, because, unlike his predecessor, he would not sacrifice principle to place and power, the politicial cards were shuffled anew, and the country promised unheard-of blessings from the coalition of Whigs, Radicals, and renegade Con servatives. We shall not readily forget the pro found bathos with which the Earl of ABERDEEN talked of the union of parties, and declared that the combination would have the effect of rendering its Radical elements Conservative. The experience of the Session has shown the delusion of such promises, and it is now nearly brought to a close with a cata logue of acts in which the evil fearfully predominates over the good. Dismayed with their first defeat, many of the Conservatives seemed to have deserted the post of honour, and allowed their opponents to obtain victories which could never have been antici pated as the results of the last general election, Vain was it that Liverpool led the van, and showed, by an overwhelming majority in a large popular constitu ency, that the people of England were still alive to the importance of maintaining Conservative principles ; vain was it that other constituencies followed so glorious an example. There were traitors in the camp, the Peelites belied all their former profes sions; and deeming it "better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven," accepted office with their bitterest foes, and set an examble which, to their shame, too many have followed. In spite of the remonstrances of the most experienced men, the Ministers have been allowed to carry their India Bill, in which they perpetuate the acknow ledged abuses of the present system of Govern ment, and virtually shut up the vast resources of that magnificent possession from the commercial enterprise of England. In vain did the few Con servatives, who still remain true to their colours, divide 'the House of Commons again and again upon the several 'details of the Bill ; every at tempt,at delay or improvement were unsuccessful, with the solitary exception of the destruction of 'the Salt monopoly, upon which Ministers were defeated on Thursday by a majority of 11'9 to no. The 'Succession Duty which has just been allowed to pass the 'House of Lords, is another of 'the Ministerial measures from which is expected abundance of injustice, 'oppression, and litigation, while, in common with almost all Mr. CLAD .sTaNt's financial -schemes, ib is likely to prove a failure as a source of revenue. Indeed, the Bill has been passed with - the confident prediction that in a very short time its repeal will - be loudly demanded. - But true to the Whig creed that "man neveris, but always to'be blessed;" the majority of the promises with which the Coalition-set out as a political stock in trade have yet - to be realised ; and should they remain in office another session—which Heaven forbid—we may expect a repetition of similar fruitless discussions, with this difference, that , whereas the past have been of -no good the future may be pregnant with the most -serous con sequences to the pewee of the country. The Radicals, who, next to the Conservatives, form the largest party in the House of• Commons, are by no-means satisfied With their position, and feel themselves neglected in the distribution of patronage. They are, therefore, to - be propitiated 'by a new Reform Bill, which-is to , atrengthen their hands by extending the franchise' in-the borough constituen cies, and throwing open • the counties to the same baleful influence. The country is again° to be dis turbed from its propriety-.by exciting hopes which can • never be realised without endangering the safety of-the state, and we:ciay once more have to witness -a struggle for political power, in which another approach may be made ,to the sacrifice of the British Constitution upon the altar of demo cracy. Men have been elenated into power who are destitute of principle; the Peelites have 'been the real traitors, for without their aid the attempt -would -have' teen hopeless; and now, having adopted i tthe dangerous doctrine which , is characterised 'by 'ethe name of " progress," 'they can only pre -serve their•peCtion by further concessions, which •ivin, render future attempts to stem-the torrent more difficult. 'For ,the present our only resource is in careful attentionito the Registrationceourts, where the battle of -the Constitution is -to be fought. Those who now Epossess the franchise•should value it as a privilege mot to be lightly thrown away. Every man who is ,entitled to it should-see that his name tis properly oregistered, and -their influence should the brought -to bear upon the Representatives to resist.any attempt which may be made-tc swamp the present .electors , Ey throwing open -the fran chise to a lower class,of the community.

THE clause in the :India Bill for the abolition ,of the salt monopney enjoyed by the East India Com pany, which was carried by-a small majority in the House of Commons against tlinisters, mud have a beneficial effect upon the salt trade of Cheshire and this port, provided it be carried out in the spirit wLich its movers intended.. The Ministers, however, are not to be trusted, for they are fully capable of devising some means to defeat it, by getting it struck out in the House of Lords and obtaining a pliant majority in the Commons to consent to the amendment; and even should this course be unsuccessful, they may render it partially inefficient by imposing such an amount of duty as will operate effectually to restrict any increase of trade. The clause does not go far enough in placing a limit as to the rate of duty to be levied, but simply re-affirms the condition in the former Act by which the East India Company were com manded to close all their trading operations, a con dition they have not strictly performed, inasmuch as they have continued their manufacture of salt in India and retained it as a monopoly by almost pro hibitory duties on salt imported. A slight relax ation in late years tended considerably to augment the trade from this port, and it will now only re quire a faithful carrying out of the clause referred to Mount-street, August 1, ISSS, COLLEGIXTE INSTITUTVIN, 'ABBOTT'S GRANGE, CH 'TER.

MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION is the only Office which combines the advantage of par ticipation in the Whole Profits, with moderate Premiums, It is a Mutual Assurance Society, in which the Whole Profits belong to the Policy-holders ; and it is free from the oloction of excessive Premiums, which is urged by the Proprietary Companies against other M.itual Societies. The Premiums are low As those of the non-parneiyafing scale of the Proprietary Companies. They admit of being ao, .Got only with safety, but with ample reversion of Profits to the Policy-holders —being free from the burden of payment 0 , ." Dividends to Shareholders. The principle on which the pro,fits are divided is at once safe, equitable, and favourable to good lives—the Surplus being re served for those members who alone can have made surplus payments; in other words, for those whose Premiums, with accumulated Interest, amount to the sums in their policies. This principle, while it on the one hand avoids the anomaly of giving additions to those•policies which become claims in their earlier years, secures, on the other hand, that there is no member Who has not been, in a pecuniary sense, a gainer by the transaction, who does not receive a share of the Profits. The practical working of the system has been, that at the first Division of Surplus-15i years after the commencement — Bonus Additions have been made to the Policies which have coente m within the participa ed ting Class, v ar yi ng from 20 to 54 per c. on the sumsassur.

MEDICAL OFFICER:-DR. SEE, 10, OXFORD-MEM 7LititTpoot gganbarb, TUESDAY MORNIYG, AUGUST 2, 1853. POLITICAL AFFAIRS. "WHAT is doing in :they political , world ?" is a query which is perhaps just now the most difficult to answer satisfactorily. The Ministers are engaged in clearing up the neglected business of a wasted session; our Legislators are hurrying through their arrears, the greater part of them impatient for the recreation of the recess ; and the rest of the body politic are eageily'enjoying the sports ofthe season— racing, yachting, and other amusements, without giving a thought for the morrow, or caring whether Whigs or Tories are in the ascendant. In such a state of mental and political apathy, it is not easy to fix upon any subject which may be said to occupy public attention, and yet, unlike those of whom we write, ourreaders, with never-ceasing avidity, expect us to'say-something, at the very time when they are compelled to alknLmivvleerdpl. however, gethatther we are e.isnothingto talk still fresh fro:n a contest in which the ascendancy of Conservative prineiples was the prize which was struggled for, and nobly won ; and we ought not to be-co forgetful of the cause which we espouse, as to deem it uninteresting to those whose laurels of vietery are so green. - It is part of - the political craft cofyLiberalism to deny any dilTerence of opinion, and to - attest that ancient distinctions of party have been cb:lterated, that Whig and Tory, 'Conservative , and 'Radical are obsolete terms whieh belonged to a for mer age, but are now no Longo: intelligible. By - these means our opponents.seekto break down the ' , barriers which Mill hedge in the Constitution, -and to sap the `foundations of those institutions - which it ought . to be the especial care of thezCon -servative party to maintain. -We are not insensible to the advantage of securing.good feeling anti amity between all classes of the community ; but principle -must not he sacrificed to -hollow professions of friendshipmor duty be surrendered to feeling ; else we --shall realise the fable: of the- alliance between the wolves and the` sheep, which was only entered into 'in order that the latter might , hecome -a more easy prey to the former. There are thousands in this town of estimable character, and the best intentions, %who are deceived by the specious pretensions of the Liberal party, -who have no-other object than the '-good of theirceuntry, and who,:from allowing-their .good nature-to get the better of their judgment, -voted for the Radical candidate et the last election, under the miotaken impression that they were thereby doing good service. It is, however, the duty of the i:Conservative press to hold outx. -warning voice, to '-expose the trickery by which the ear of Great Bri tain is rankly -abused, and rouse the people to a sense of the dangers which, througk political apathy, they would otherwise suffer to ,cpproach. This -is the more necessary, because there is a natural ten- Alency in the.public mind to forget the danger; which have been passed, when the necessity for re sistance, has passed away, and to wr.dervalue nais -.chiefs, of which the evil consequences are not 'immediately apparent. The BritishtLion is a slug- : gieh animal, noteasily aroused, and snore assailable by the jugglery. of political charlatans; than by open violence, .and to this failing is owing the present position of theiLiberal party; for few can entertain a doubt, that-were:the people of England thoroughly alive to the traitorous designs of the Radical leaders, they would not tamely submit to be the dupes and the took of such ~ treasonable faction. Amongst the individuals who have occupied the most prominent position is Lord Jc » RURSELL, who—with no other quality than consummate parliamentary duplicity, (which is dignified as tact—has assumed,every - phase of political .pairty, with no other seeming oli;;ect than to gratify 1 •as awn personal ambition on the ruin of his country. .Whe.n only known for,his advocacy of the Reform Bill, he .declared to/his ,constituents ,at Huntingdon his , un .. alterable determine ion to mantain the Corn Law s . When pressing his Reform Bill through Parlia-: meet, he threatened the House of Lords with the• phys.:eal force of armed workmen from Binning. ham. When a Conservative Administration was in office in 1835, he carried a roaolution by the House of Commons that no settlement of the Irish Church question could be satisfactory unless it contained the celebrated Appropriation clause, and afterwards, when in office himself, passed the Bill without it. In order to retain a parliamentary majority, he entered into a compact with the in cendiary DANIEL O'CONNELL, and sacrificed the Protestant Church in Ireland to the rapacity of Romish priests and political agitators. In 1841 lie was expelled from office for tampering with the Colonial interest in the Sugar Duties, and with the Agricultural interest in the Corn Duties. In 1846 he sacrificed the West Indian Colonies, and de stroyed all that had been done to diminish slavery by admitting slave-grown sugar upon almost equal terms with the produce of free labour. He in cited the colonists of Canada to rebellion, and almost drove them to shake off their allegiance to the mother country, by direct and positive encou ragement to those who had been foremost in insur rection. In 1851 he endeavoured to revive his decaying popularity by the promise of a new Reform Wigan N E W ON TUESDAY The principal benefit which the public will derive from the Abolition of the Advertisement Du , ies will be found in the increased facilities for making known their various WANTS ; and, in order that they may derive the full advantage, we shall make a considerable reduction in our charge for short announcements of SERVANTS WANTING PLACES, MASTERS TVA NT ING SERVANTS, HOUSES, SHOPS, AND APARTMENTS WANTED AND TO BE LET, BUSINESS ADDRESSES, and others of a similar character, the insertion of which will be charged according to the following scale, the amount in all cases to be paid in advance: Two LINES .

" A SunscatnEtO—By the Reform Act, the franchise by free dom was extirpated except when gained by birth or servitude. All, therefore, who have gained their freedom by having been born the son of a freeman, or serving an apprenticeship of seven 'years to ' , a freeman, are entitled to lie on the register of 1853. to insure a still further increase. It is somewha singular that the proposal to open the trade emanated from a Protectionist, whereas the defen ders of a grievous monopoly were found in the ranks of professing Free-traders. THE ELECTION PETITION. OUR Liberal contemporaries, in the excess of their Liberalism, have been vilifying their townsmen, in order to gratify their party zeal. It appears that, in the exuberance of his feelings, which, during the Election, were two degrees above the boiling point, Mr. ROBERTSON GLADSTONE made a rash vow that the Conservative doings should undergo ano ther investigation. He was afterwards somewhat oblivious of this engagement; but the Radical hangers-on who fatten on such cases, including generally a trip to London and treating ad libitum, kept their victim to his promise, under threat of a defection in their allegiance, and accordingly the Petition—of which we give a copy in another co lumn—was presented about three o'clock on Tues day morning—about the extreme limit allowed by law for the reception of such complaints, if, indeed, the limit has not been exceeded, and the Petition thereby rendered waste paper. It is, however, without the slightest consequence, as far as con cerns the seats of Messrs. HORSFALL and LIDDELL, and is only useful as showing the opinions which the Radicals entertain of the Electors of Liverpool. In defence of the course which has been pursued, our contemporaries refer to the decision upon the former Petition, with a half confident tone, some thing like a crow in embryo : " Were not Messrs. TURNER and NIAcK ENZIE unseated ?" Yes, and by a committee of political opponents, who had not a particle of reason to give for their decision, and showed their compunction by refusing to go a step further. What other result can the Radicals expect from any committee except, indeed, such a verdict as they will get next time, if they dare to proceed further—the Members declared to he duly elected, and the Petition to be frivolous and vexatious. They want, indeed, to have the Freemen disfran chised, but their desire is vain, nor would it serve their purpose, for the Conservatives have a majority if every Freeman were disfranchised. We repeat the assertion, that we have not the slightest appre hension as to the result of the Petition, which, we believe, in its fruition as in its conception, will prove an abortion ; but if it were possible to imagine the achievement of such a hopeless enterprise, the end will be little different, for Liverpool will still return two Conservative Representatives to the Com mons House of Parliament. We have too high an opinion of our fellow-townsmen to doubt the re sult ; but Liverpool should go for her character to the Liberal journals, and there learn that she is a a hot-bed of corruption—corrupting and corrupted. Liverpool is as pure as snow but for her Radical connections, and never knew electoral corruptions until Liberal candidates tried to purchase the repre sentation. CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. The monthly meeting of the Council was held yesterday, Charles Robertson, Esq., in the absence of the President and Vice-president, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read and approved, the proceedings of the following committees were adopted ; viz., Communications, and Customs ; those of the latter referred principally to the Customs' Bill now before the House of Commons, in which several amend ments were proposed. It was reported that Mr. Bunch, the Vice-president, and Chairman of that Committee, had had an interview, accompanied by our borough members and Mr. William Brown, M.P., with the Secretary to the Treasury, the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Customs, and other government officers, on the subject of this bill, and that he was now in London following up the matter. The report on the East India Company's charter was read and adopted ; also that on our relations with Siam, Sooloo. &c.: as respects the latter, it was ordered that a memorial be forwarded to the Foreign Office, praying that diplomatic relations be opened between Great Britain and those countries. The report on the guano question was also brought up and adopted. Among the communications were letters from the Foreign Office, on the subject of the Sound dues; from the Admiralty, on postal communication with Australia ; from the London and North Western Railway Company, on the acceleration of the mail train leaving Manchester at 2 15 p.m. ; from Newry, on the removal of Carlineford bar; from the mayor, with a copy of a letter from Lieut. Maury, U.S.N., on wind and current charts. After the meeting broke up, the Chairman waited upon his worship to convey to him the opinion of the Chamber as to the reception of Mr. Maury, when the mayor kindly offered to receive him in the Council Chamber, to hear an ex position of his plans, and he also kindly offered to invite the members of the various mercantile associations on the occasion. . . . . . ..,L1...•••,• ent. Maury is expected to arrive here to-day or to-morrow. Monday, the 29th instant, was fixed for the half-yearly general meeting. BOLD STREET.—Connoisseurs in decoration, and those who take an interest in the embellishment of Liverpool, should visit the new Music Hall, the lower part of which has been fitted up by Messrs. Bradley in a style which seems to challenge rivarly. A DISHONEST SERVANT.—A girl named Ann Brown was brought up at the police office yesterday morning, charged with stealing two books, a salt dish, and other articles, from the house of Mr. A. Dunsford, stationer, of South Castle-street, where she has been employed for some time as wet nurse. The articles were found in the pos session of her father, Richard Sanderson, who was likewise placed atthe bar charged with receiving the goods. As Mr. Dunsford did not appear, the prisoners were discharged. AN ANCIENT THIEF.—Mary Hough, an old woman apparently over sixty years of age, was convicted yester day at the police court of stealing a piece of meat from the stall of Thomas Darlington, St. Martin's market, on Saturday evening, and was sent to jail for twenty-one days. The antique appropriator simulated the greatest innocence, and invoked the pardon of Heaven in behalf of the prosecutor. It appeared, however, that she had been previously convicted ; and that in 1852 her thievish pro pensities had been rewarded by her committal to prison. A SAILOR DONE BY DUFFERS.—At the polio-Office yesterday a couple of " Duffers," named Patrick Sweeny and John Naylas, were charged with stealing a Guernsey frock, a pair of trousers, and a half soverreign from a ver dant youth on Wednesday last. Meeting the youth, who is a sailor, in the street, they offered some cigars and to bacco for sale, and afterwards some trinkets, which they pretended were gold, but which were in reality counterfeit. As the youth had no money, they prevailed upon him to take off a portion of his wearing apparel, with which they immediately decamped, leaving the worthless articles behind. Naylas was sent to prison for a month ; while his companion Sweeny, against whom the evidence was not so strong, was dismissed. MURDER AND SUICIDE ON THE HIGH SEAS.—The following tragical occurrence took place on board the British ship Countess of Winton, Cringle, master, while on a voyage from Liverpool to Shangai :—She left the latter place on the 27th of April, and on the 17th of May the captain gave some order to the mate. He disobeyed rthe order, and high words ensuing, the mate armed him <elf with a cutluss, and rushed at the captain, whom he murdered with the weapon. The crew then endeavoured 0 seize the mate, but, seeing the movement of the men, he immediately jumped overboard, and disappeared. He was not seen afterwards. The second mate then took command, and the body of the murdered master having been consigned to the deep, the ship continued her course to 'England. WILLIAM llAcKgrr, a dock labourer, was yesterday committed to the sessions for trial on a charge of brutally assaulting James Agnew, provision dealer, 30, Saltney street, on the 21st of July. It appeared, from the evidence of the parties concerned, that Hackett and his wife occzpy a room in the house of Mr. Agnew, and that on the day of the assault (as was frequently the case), Agnew and his wife had had a slight disagreement, the former being in a state of intoxication. Mrs. Hackett went into tie room to settle differences between the in harmonious couple, when she was hustled out, and in the process her arm was cut. She straightway pro ceeded to the docks for her husband, who came up and assaulted the poor old man with great brutality; and, from the evidence of Dr. Stewart, the medical attendant of Agi!ew, it appeared that the irjuries were of such a serious character that he had not yet got the better of them, nor was likely soon to recover. CONVICTION FOR CHEATING AT CARDS.—Yesterday, 8 smart-looking young man, named Isaac Horrocks, was tried before the Recordex, at the Borough Sessions, on a charge of having defrauded John Patterson at cards, on the 17th of June last. The facts of the case were, that on the day in question, the prosecutor, who is a farmer, re sidingije at Kirkcudbright, in Bcotland, and who was on his way to Dublin, was walking in the neighbourhood of the Sailors' Home. when he was accosted by a person in the company of the prisoner, and ultimately indu c e d to aer ec ga fateonwr playing f m l o emewan along gd a f wj t a a t a e a rlo h o: tv rO in a g d. rea T so h n e w pr a i r s d o s n . er . e T n h te e r r e e d go into Lamb's public-house, in w th e e re house some inpartics playing at card s , the hi n i ee d mp t r. h i s e off p n r ee i r s e. o g n r e ffe r eed a u s t k lot e id d mea t st l eo i ya r leo r d o s s th c £s, to suspect that he had been cheated by the prisoner and the other parties who were in collusion, the prisoner was taken into custody. The prosecutor detailed the circum stances under which the play took place, and Mr, Tindal Atkinson having addressed the jury on behalf of the pri soner, he was found guilty. The Recorder, after dwelling upon the serious nature of the offence, said that he scarcely thought that he should be doing his duty if he did not transport the prisoner, As it was, he must certainly impose severe punishment. The prisoner was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE PHILOSOPHY OF ADVERTISING - 4 , --- THE reluctant assent of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex- CHEQUER to the abolition of the daty on Advertise- ments has attracted more than ordinary attention to the object of Advertising, —a subject which, without s stiamius, was deserving of far more notice than it usually received Mr. MECRI, the great authority on the new lights in agricultural science, who has spent thousands in rendering fertile a barren tract in Essex, and develop ing his theory, has acknowledged that almost all his wealth was made by advertising ; and many others, of ex tensive business, could be mentioned, who owe their ample resources to the same means. But they observed the injunction, "Drink deep, or taste not the Pierian spring." They largely advertised, and, unlike many other enterprises, found that the more they embarked the treater was the rate of profit. The large advertising sheet published in London as The Times, which yields its owners an income far exceeding the rent-roll of many an ancient peer,offersanother proof of the immenseadvantage gained by this mode of communication to both parties ; for, like mercy, " it blesseth him that gives and him that " and has become so much a matter of necessity, that without it the civilised world would be as London was last week, without its " cabs." Every person who is in want of anything, searches the columns of his newpaper— where the variety of announcements defies classification, from their vast number—or is reminded of something which may prove to his advantage. Every town that has its newspaper has its advertisements general, local, and particular; while our trans-Atlantic brethren, unfettered by thb tax-gatherer, from which we are just relieved, have developed the system to an extent which we are only be ginning to appreciate. Every consignment received, every parcel of goods to be sold, every house, estate, or lodging to be let, every ship, steamboat, coach, or rail way-train to start, everything lost or found, everything wanted or to be had, finds its place in the advertising columns, and therefore no one buys for more or sells for less than he ought to do—goes without or suffers any other disadvantage for want of that information which his newspaper supplies him so profusely. We as a nation have yet to experience the full benefit to which the abolition of the duty will help us ; but if it has proved so advantageous where there is a settled population, how much more must it be in Liverpool, the centre of commerce, the resort of so many strangers: where the inhabitants necessarily fluctuate, and where, from the constant arrival and departure of many thousands by the numerous passenger-ships, so many wants require satisfying at the moment without other time for inquiry than is afforded by a perusal of the newspaper. If the inhabitants of an inland town require to be reminded that one of their own tradesmen has a new assortment of goods for their inspection, how much more urgent must be this means of publicity when the expected purchasers are altogether strangers requiring various supplies. But there are also announcements of ships to sail, the cargoes for which are made up from various places ; emigrant ships, for which theLliving freight is gathered from mwbneauaennmayteedrsoo sought localities ; brokers' sales of foreign and colonial produce, for which purchasers are found in many quarters; houses and apartments, f or w hi c h occupants might have and s uhge others st wantingin whichv vain n its buttwuoa would situations nr sheryamusementstnewspaper;he reader ; 4 e rt travelling e v a l i n n t for business or pl easure ; new books and music; and par ticularise. All these render the advertising columns of newspapers in Liverpool as necessary to the success of its commerce as the docks are to its shipping, and now that the repeal of the duty has removed all restrictions on the full development of the system, we may look to see this great town make more rapid strides in advancement that it has ever yet done. While, however, we thus draw a very faint outline of the benefits to be derived from this slight inroad upon the resources of the Exchequer, this paltry sacrifice of £lBO,OOO a year to the revenue, from which the gain to the public will be estimated by millions, we would direct the attention of Advertisers to the necessity of considering the medium through which they seek to make their announcements to the public. Some years since papers were started in three or four large northern towns, expressly as Advertising Sheets, containing little or no other news, and professing to give their patrons the advantage of a large gratuitous circula tion. There was something very plausible in the scheme, though a slight consideration must convince most persons of its utter inutility for the purpose designed. The gra tuitous circulation was effected by transmitting the papers through the post to the various inns and other places o public resort through the kingdom ; but the Advertisers received little benefit, for the papers were seldom read, and many commercial travellers can bear testimony to frequently seeing these papers lying unopened on the side boards of country inns, their sole destination being that of other waste paper. Our attention has been called to this subject by the recent appearance, in a neighbouring town, of a similar publication. It professes to guarantee a gratuitous circulation of TEN THOUSAND COPIES, but a fair and liberal estimate enables us to form a very near approximation to its resources and capabilities. The cost of paper, stamps, printing, and other necessary expenses of ten thousand copies of such a sheet as has been published, containing twenty-four columns, would, at the lowest calculation, without allowing anything for contingencies to which all large printing establishments are subject, exceed £lOO weekly. Its advertisements occupy more than a moiety of its whole space, and admitting that they are paid for at the full average price, the returns would not be more than £4O, thereby involving a Loss OF UPWARDS OF £6O WEEKLY, a loss which even the occupation of the whole space by advertisements would not convert into a profit. We have, therefore, the alternative of believing either that the owners patriotically submit to a heavy weekly loss, with no prospect of profit, for the presumed benefit of the public, or that the professed gratuitous circulation of ten thousand copies requires some better guarantee than the mere announcement on the title page. We shall, how ever, accept the former hypothesis, and put it to any intelligent Advertiser, whose object of course is publicity, how far it can be gained by advertising through such a medium. It is well known that most things are valued by the cost, and the paper circulated gratuitously will meet with no more attention than other waste paper similarly distributed. To prove of any advantage to the Advertiser, his announcement must be READ, and this will only be done by its appearing in a newspaper which is purchased, because it is required, and valued for the information which it affords. The newspapers of the very least importance in the kingdom do not publish less than Seven Hundred copies, but WE HAVE NO HESITATION IN ASSERTING, THAT THE CIRCULATION OF A NEWSPAPER WHICH HAS ONLY FIVE HUNDRED PAYING SUBSCRIBERS IS OF INFI- NITELY MORE VALUE TO THE ADVERTISER IN ITS COLUMNS THAN THE ADVERTISING SHEET WITH ITS TEN THOUSAND COPIES CIRCULATED GRATUITOUSLY. In the latter case, it is used by the first recipient for the sake of the paper, not for the print, its announce ments are unheeded, and the cost literally thrown away whereas, in the former case, every copy is carefully perused by many, transmitted to friends and acquaintance, by whom it is again forwarded to others, and a publicity given to its advertisements which no amount of gratuitous circulation would ever afford to a mere advertising sheet. There is also this advantage in the case of the newspaper, that it is read largely and immediately in the locality where it is published, because it is a newspaper; whereas the advertising sheet is generally circulated at a distance, and seldom read at all, because it contains little or nothing worth reading. As the rapeal of the duty will not only tend to reduce the cost of advertising, but also remove the restrictions which up to the present time have operated materially to prevent advantageous arrangements for the continuous appearance of such announcements, we design to give the public the f,ll benefit of the change. In addition to the diminished charge for such insertions, we are prepared to I s N hi P p ß , l P CE ro . du T c e h: s andwilloptrhoevre Bro kers,par- ticularly enter into CONTRACTS FO R STATE D PERIODS, AT A CON pHouse and Estate Agents, B oo k sellers and Pub lishers, Hotel and Innkeepers, Steampacket, R a il way, and other Companies, Trades men , o f all descriptions, and indeed of every class w h ose o bj ect is to keep their names and business befo re th e public at a moderate charge. We shall thus n o t on l y give them the full benefit of the s lR A n advantageous v a il ; aDg REDUCTION t N o repeal of the duty, but also enable them to obtain on the lowest terms those great advantages which arc sure to result from a regular system of continuous Advertising. K socK-DOWN ROOOERY.-A well-known character, named Nath an i e l Bl a k e , was yesterday charged at the police-afice with a knock-down robbery, committed in Neptune-street, upon Augustus Nicol, a native of Born. bay, and a Roman Catholic. Nicol, who is a se aman, h ad gone into a public-lioipe, on Friday, about twelve o'clock at night, where the prisoner, and two other persons, were at the time.
