" CHEAP ADVERTISING

--- -
A contemporary having, by implication at least, taken
to himself credit for having been the first to give the
public the benefit of " Cheap Advertising," we deem it
only an act of justice to ourselves to call attention to the
fact that he followed the NORTHERN TIMES, which was
really the first paper to concede the advantage of com-
municating "Wants" to the world at a cost of SIXPENCE,
as it is now the first to give the same advantage of publicity
for a PENNY ! If any incredulous friend should doubt
this let him refer to the second number of the NORTHERN
TIMES, which was published on the 26th of September,
1853, and he will find the following announcement in
arge type :
" Servants Wanting Situations, or Persons Wanting
Servants, should advertise in the Northern Daily Times,
charge, sixpence."
When it is remembered that the Journal to which we
allude was only brought into existence by the repeal of
the Newspaper Stamp Act in 1855, it will be seen that
he could not have been the first to give to the public a
privilege which it enjoyed in 1853—two years before he
was in being. We should scarcely have referred to this
unworthy attempt to usurp what belongs to another, did
we not remember more than one occasion upon which our
copyist has, in like manner, by implication, taken credit
for having been the
first to establish a Daily Newspaper
in Liverpool, and unblushingly ignoring all knowledge of
what existed previous to his appearance in this sublunary
world. Barefaced efrentery may " bring grist the
mill," but it should scarcely be indulged is at the ..20,„,

The title of a game of cards, just introduced and pub-
lished by Messrs. Mawdsley and Son, of Castle-street,
namely, "St. George and the Dragon, or the Seven
Champions of Christendom." We have been favoured
with a sight of the cards, and for elegance of design and
execution, can say surpass anything of the kind we have
seen. To those who have an objection to ordinary play-
ing cards, the above will prove a very amusing round
game, and, from its simplicity, will be well calculated to
amuse the juveniles during the Christmas holidays.
