CIRCULATION OF TIIE LONDON' MORNING.' PAPEP.S—THE
MORNING ADVERTISER.
recent Stamp Returns of the circulation of
the MORNING NEWSPAPERS in 1350, give the following

results
MORNING ADVERTISER. 1,549,813

Omitting the " Times," it will be seen what a proud position the
MORND7I4 ADYARTIiIIR oecupies compared with any of its
morning eontruperariee. Ita the beginning of 1851 the MORNING
ADYRATIdaIIit was permanently enlarged to a double sheet, sines
which time it has met with a measure of success, both as regarda the
extent of its circulation and the number of its advertisements,
which has no parallel in the annals of English journalism. Were the
Stamp Returns to be given down to the present time, the relative
circulation of the MORNING ADVERTISER, to our four morning
contemporaries, assuming that their circulation had undergone no
dimination, would be as follows :
MORNING ADVERTISER • • • • •
•• • 2,071,000

Morning Herald • • • • • • 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle • • • . • • 912,547
Adorning Post.. • • • • 828,000
It only remains to be added that this vast addition to the circula-
tion of the moßritsG ADVERTISER, obtained in less than twelve
months, is the result of its progress in all parts of the country, and
among all classes of society, and is to be regarded as the best tribute
that could be paid to its thorough independence of all parties and
Governments, and its earnest advocacy of the popular cause.
