IRCULATION OF THENING LONDON MORNING PAPERS--THE
MOR ADVERTISER.
HE recent Stamp Returns of the circulation of
Tthe MORNING NEWSPAPERS in 1850, give the following

results:—
MORNDIG ADVERTISER • • .. 1,549,913
Daily News • • • • • • .. .. 1,152,000
Morning Herald 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle • • • • • • • • • 912,547
Morning Post .. • • • • • • ••• • 828,080
Omitting the " Times," it will be seen what a proud position the
MORNING ADVERTISER occupies com Pared with any of its
morning contemporaries. In the beginning of 1851 the MORNING
ADVERTISER was permanently enlarged to a double 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,e
which has no parallel in the annals of English journalism. Were th
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
alminntion, would be as follows :
MORNING ADVERTISER • • • • 2,075,000
Daily sews • • •• • •• 1,152,000
Morning Herald • • • • • • .. 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle • • • • 912,547
Morning Poet.. • • • • • • .. 828,000
It only remains to be added that this vast addition to the circala-
tSon 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 peld to its thorough independence of all parties and
Chovernments, and its earnest advocacy of the popular cause.
