GREAT REDUCTION IN THE
PRICE OF

"THE SUN,"

FROM

FIVEPENCE-H,ILFPENNY

FOURPENCE.

TOR THE THIRD OR LATEST EDITION.

Sign-ofce, 112, Strand, London,
9th July, 1855.

In consequence of the abolition of the Stamp
Duty on Newspapers the public in all
large cities and towns to which parcels
are forwarded by the News-Agents, The
Sun, which formerly cost Fivepence-half-
renny for the Latest Edition, containing
Parliamentary Debates of the same even-
ing, together with the List of Army and
Navy Promotions in the London Gazette,
with Official Despatches from the Seat of
War, the Latest Sporting, and all other
Commercial News, List of Bankrupts,
aTc., ttc., can now be had for Fourpence,
being a saving of nearly one-third.
Hitherto the price of the paper was nomi-
nally Fivepence, but all Late Edition?
posted after six o'clock were charged a
fee of One Halfpenny by the Post-office,
which made the price to the Subscriber
Fivepence-Halfpenny. This charge must
still be made to those in remote places,
unless the Postmaster-General have the
magnanimity to forego such a paltry
source of revenue.
