kingdom. As an Advertising medium, this journal cannot be
surpassed, being read by the leading gentry, clergy, agricul-
tural, shipping, and commercial classes of the district in
which it is circulated. The number and influence of its sub-
scribers renders it a most eligible medium for advertisements

of estate and other property ;-and the commercial community
cannot avail themselves of any, provincial journal better calcu-
lated to introduce their announcements to the class of news-
paper readers whose attention to such advertisements is sought

is the OLDEST NEWSPAPER in the County,' an
one of the oldest in the Kingdom. It circulates principall
in the Counties of Hereford, Radnor, Monmouth, Worcester,
Gloucester, Brecon, and Salop ; and generally throughout the
Principality. A continuous effort is being made to render it
worthy, both as an organ of Local Intelligence and as a com-
pendium of General News, of the county and district it claims
to represent. The Editorial, Reporting, Commercial, and
Corresponding departments have recently been thoroughly
revised, and comprehensive arrangements made for enhanciu
its general efficiency, both as a medium of local and mercantile
inter-eommunication.
The HEREFORD JOURNAL is printed on a DOUBLE
SHEET, and has a good bona fide circulation amongst
•the mercantile and monied classes of the wide district
through which it is known. It is, therefore, an excellent
m&lium for ADVERTISING ; ana, with the view of keeping
paee.with the requirements. of=the times, advertisements are
inserted at moderate charges. To persons seeking situations,
and gentlemen requiring servants, it offers considerable ad-
vantages, this class of advertisements being charged lower
than by any other newspaper in the district. Price 4d :

attention to local news. -

The Patriot is largely patronised in the uyper walks of life,
by the clergy, professional men; and, in fact, by persons engaged

in every kind of pursuit; having an extensive advertising con-
nection, its large and varied circulation enabling it to do ample
justice to all.
Its Conservatism, though decided, is not exclusive. The
columns of the Carlisle Patriot are, and have ever been, open
to all persons, and parties having any pretensions to address
the public on local or general topics.

CA T H 0 L I C NEWSPAPER
FOR LANCASHIRE.

ON SATURDAY THE FIRST OF OCTOBER,
was Published, the First Number of the
"LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS,

AND CATHOLIC NEWS."

STEPHEN J

MEANY,

Late of the Liverpool Journal and Daily Post; previously
Assistant Editor and Chief Reporter of the Dublin Freeman's
Journal ; and, in succession, Editor of the Irish Tribune, and
Drogheda Aro:.

The want of a Catholic journal in Liverpool and the great
towns of Lancashire has long been felt and deplored. Whilst
every other interest in the community is adequately represented
at the press, it is sadly true that the Catholic people have no
special organ—that their public spirit finds no voice—their
principles no exponent—their social and political rights no
defender. _ _ _ _

Lancashire has justly been termed the great centre of Catho-
licity in England ; and yet all attempts at establishing a
Catholic journal in the county have heretofore proved failures.
The cause of these failures it is beside the present purpose to
inquire ; they may have resulted from-want of capacity, or from
want of capital, or from a non-appreciation of the true mission
of a Catholic Press ; but assuredly, the numerous institutions
around us, devoted to religion and education, and erected by
the voluntary contributions of the Catholic people, attest that
they cannot be attributed to a want of a Catholic public spirit.
Recognising the want, and feeling cmvinced that the Catholic
people of Liverpool, and of Lancashire generally, will support
a journal devoted to the advocacy of their rights, and the de-
fence of their principles, the Editor of the " LANCASHIRE FREE
PREss " enters the field, resolved to make the proposed journal
a thoroughly independent organ of Catholic interests—not to
permit it to be the slave or the sycophant of party or faction,
and to base his hope of success sold), on the condition of de-
serving it.

" THE LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS" will honestly and fearlessly
advocate Catholic interests at home and abroad ; all questions
of local and general importance shall be discussed on the
broadest grounds, and with calmness and forbearance to those
who may dissent from its views. The triumph of its principles
shall be sought to be obtained only by appealing to the under-
standing, the reason and the moral feelings of ita readers. No
-vulgar abuse, no degrading personalities shall ever be permitted
to pollute its columns; in fine, in all that concerns its manage-
ment nothing shall occur unworthy of its mission, viz., to
vindicate Catholic principles, to instruct, unite, and exalt the
people, and to claim for Catholics perfect equality with all
other sections of her Majeaty's subjects.
To the Irish people—those of Irish birth and of Irish race
resident in Lancashire, the new journal must be peculiarly
acceptable. Labouring to keep alive home loves and home
memories, it will strive at the same time to inculcate the new
duties that appertain to the land in which they live. Catholic
Education, and Religious Equality for the Irish people, shall

be strenuously advocated. Upon those Irish questions which
are so misunderstood in this Country, "THE LANCASHIRE FREE
Pzess" will endeavour to create a sound public opinion---and
seeking to remove the prejudices, national and religious, that
unhappily exist, thus hasten the solution of the " Irish diffi-
culty.,'

Literature, Science, and Art shall form prominent features
in the arrangements of " THE FREE PRESS ;" and while thus
giving the new journal a high tone, rigid care will be taken to
exclude from its columns indeceat advertisements and reports,
and everything which could impair its usefulness as a CATHO-
LIC FAMILY PAPER.
The important question of Education in all its bearings, and
its intimate connection with the social and moral elevation of
the working classes, will receive from the " LANCASHIRE FREE
PRESS" the attention which the merits of so grave a subject
eminently entitle it to.
The progress and proceedings of the Catholic Young Men's
Society will be amply recorded, and the columns of the
journal will be ever open for the proper discussion of all
questions of Catholic interest in reference to that great
organisation ; thus affording an opportunity of bringing out
the intellect and intelligence of the Catholic young men of
Liverpool, Manchester, and the other great towns of Lanca-
shire. Our Christian Doctrine Confraternities, our Societies
of St. Vincent de Paul, and other religious associations, shall
receive a due share of attention.
The "LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS" will have correspondents
in London and Dublin, and in the principal towns of Lanca-
shire and Cheshire, and some of the ablest Catholic writers of
the day will be numbered amongst its contributors.
The commercial and manufacturing interests of Lancashire
will be duly attended to ; and market intelligence up to the
latest hour of going to press will be regularly chronicled.
Appealing to a large audience, and representing an influen-
tial community, it must necessarily have a great circulation,
and will, therefore, be an excellent medium for advertisements.
The "LANCASHIRE FREE PRESS" will be a full-sized News-
paper of eight pages and forty-eight columns. It will be pub-
lished-every- Saturday in Liverpool, Manchester, Preston,
Blackburn, Wigan, Warrington, st. Helen's, and other towns
of Lancashire, and will be delivered at the residence of sub-
scribers for 13s. per annum; stamped, 17s. 6d.; single copies
procured from newavenders, 3d. each.
