CIRCrLATION Of THE LONDON MORNING PAPERS—THE
MORNING ADVERTISER.
THE recent Stamp Returns of the circulation of
the MORNING 'NEWSPAPERS In 1850, give the follevring

results :
MORNING ALDVERTISER •• 1,549,843
Daily News • • • • • • .. .• .. 1,152,000
Morning Herald • 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle •• . 912,547
• --
Morning Post .. • • • • .• 828,080
Omitting the " Times," it will be wen what a proud position thee
MORNING ADVERTISER occupies compared with any of its
morning contemporaries. In the beginning of 1851 the MORNING
ADVERTISER was permanently enlarged to a doable sheet, since
which time it has met with a measure of success, both as regards the
extent of its circulation and the number of its advertisements,
which has nip 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
diminution, would be as follows
MORNING ADVERTISER " • • • • 2,075,000
Daily News • . • • .• .• 1,152,004
• • • • 1,139,000
Morning Herald •• •• • •
Morning Chronicle • • • • • • • • 912,547
'•Morning Post.. • • • • • • • • 8'28,000
It only remains to be added that this vast addition to the circula-
tion of the MORNING 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.
