OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION COMMITTEE ROOM,
Titiorarasx Horn, SPRING GARDENS,
January 10.
THE LONDON and OXFORD COMMITTEE
for conducting the ELE TION of Mr. PE RCEVAL, while
they cannot bat regret the result of the Poll on the Sixth Day, which
Shows a majority oft 11 for Mr. Gladstone, consider that that result
otiebt not to be the occasion of surprise or discouragement. With
a standing Committee, and organised staff of Secretaries and Can-
vass rs Mr. Gladstone has only been able to poll 721 votes up to the
present time. With an opponent occupying so prominent a position
as the Chancellor of the Exchequer, supported by a powerful Govern-
ment, and, in spite of misrepresentations most industriously and un-
scrupulously circulated by irritated antagonists through a portion of
the Metropolitan press, a private gentleman, because known to be a
Sincere and sound Protestant Churchman, an able and consistent
Politician, will, if the unpolled Members of Convocation are but true
to themselves, achieve a triumphant and permanent success for
Chureh of England and Constitutional principles.
The poll, which commences at 10 a.m., and closes at 5 p.m., will
be kept open every day this week, in order to afford every elector an
opportunity of recording his vote.
Members of Convocation are' earnestly urged to vote early, and
success is then certain, inasmuch as that in July last, within four
days, Mr. Gladstone had 1,300 votes; and on the present occasion,
in six days, 721 only have been recorded in his favour.
The London Committee sit here daily; and the Oxford Committee
in Magdalene Hall.

Trains leaving Paddington at 7.40, 9.45,10.15, 11.15, 12.40, 2.0, will
enable members to vote on the same day ; a similar advantage may
be obtained by trains leaving Euston-square at 6.30 and 10 0 ; and
those Members who have not received Circulars are requested to
attribute this apparent neglect to ithe difficulty in obtaining their
accurate addresses on such short notice.

The special train from Didoot to Oxford, at 2.40,19 for the exclusive
use of Mr. Perceval's supporters, leaving London at 12.41, or travel-
ling from other places.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.
(Extract from the "Morning Herald" of 11th Jimuary.)
" Major Beresford has taken no part in the Election beyond the
giving of his vote."
Illustration of the above assertion.—Letter received by a Clergy-
Lan in the country;_.
" Oxford University Election Committee Eoom,
Trafalgar Hotel, Spring-gardens, Jan. 1853.
MY DIAZ Sll,—Pray go to oxford, if possible, on Monday, when
We make our push, and, if we exert ourselves, we can win.

" Yours truly,

" W. BERESFORD."

CIRCULATION Or THE LONDON MORNING PAPERS.
rp E MORNING ADVERTISER.
The Stamp Returns of the circulation of the MORNING
7gEwspArEus in 1850, the latest published, give the following
results :
MORNING ADVERTISER . . . 1,549,843
Daily News 1,152,000
Morning Herald . • . . 1,139,000
Motoring Chronicle . .
Morning Post 828,000
It will be observed from this statement that, omitting the " Times,"
the circulation of the MORNING ADVERTISER was then far
above that of its morning contemporaries. Early in 1851 the
MORNING ADVERTISER was permanently enlarged to a doable
sheet, and since that time it has met with a measure of success,
both as regards the extent of its circultJon, 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 ADVER-
TISER to its tour morning contemporaries (assuming that their
circulation has undergone no diminution) would be as follows :
MO ft S ING ADVERTISER . .
Daily News
Morning Herald . .
Morning Chronicle . . .
.912,547
Morning Post . . . . .
It will be seen that the present circulation of THE MORNING
ADVERTISER is nearly double that of the two greatest of its four
contemporaries, and approaches to treble that of one of their num-
ber. This vast addition to the circulation of THE MORNING
ADVERTISER, obtained in less than two years, is the result of its
progress in all parts of the country, and among all classes of society.
8o proud a position among its contemporaries 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.
