DOUBLE

ITS PRESENT SIZE.

The patronage and support hitherto accorded
to the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES, has rendered
it necessary for the Proprietors to enter into
arrangements for its speedy Permanent Enlarge-
ment to Double its present size. Until this is
effected, Double Numbers will be issued whenever

a pressure of news, or an influx of advertisments,
shall render it necessary. In making this an-
nouncement, the Proprietors, grateful for the flat-
tering encouragement they have already received,
avail themselves of the opportunity to state that
they will spare neither pains nor expense to render
the NORTHERN DAILY TIMES the most accurate
and earliest authority upon all matters of news—
Political, General, Monetary, Commercial, and
Maritime. The new arrangements, when com-
pleted, will impose upon the Proprietors the
necessity of ceasing to supply extra Slips to
Subscribers, but no increase will be made in the

rate of subscription, which is now 335. per annum
