NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS.
The number of STAMPS issued by the authorities of the
Stamp-office, during 1847, to the
DAILY NEWS was 3,447,009
This, we believe, is within eight per cent. of the number
issued to the Morning Herald, Morning Chronicle, and
Morning Post, ALL PVT TOGETHER.
In addition to the above, issued to the DAILY NEWS,
Morning l'aper, there were issued for the Evening Edition,
THE EXPRESS 778,714
Which was more, we believe, than wero issued either to
the Globe or Standard, Evening Papers.

LONDON, W EDNESDAY, MAY 10.
THE total disregard to anything like merit, effi- '
ciency, or fitness in recent appointments to office is,
indeed, one of the worst symptoms both for the
ministry and for the system of government. For the
ministry, it betokens a recklessness of the future and
a defiance of public opinion, indicating a despair of
success in the task of successfully guiding and govern
ing the country. For the system, it betrays an inca-
pacity to discover or appreciate administrative talent,
which calls for a deeper turning up of the intellectual
soil, in order to the eliciting of some more ability than
is furnished by aristocratic families or admitted
and
by
an electoral body steeped in dependence

_
corruption.
We have already alluded to the Railway Board and
to the astounding incapacity of its members and its
acts, and that, too, in the midst of a country and a
movement, thronged with men and minds of the first
capacity in this very speciality. How is it that the
country can alwayb find talent, and that government
never can ? How is it that the public can
of itself discover, discern, and raise to emi-
nence, the STEPREN
andSONS,he BRUN and the H
B,UDbatSONS,
that
and
the Loot ES, tEL
government cannot obtain a clever man in this spe-
cialityy, or at least never can do so without getting
rid of as soon as his talents aro discovered?
