CIRCULATION OF THE MORNING PAPERS.
SUPPLEMENTS TO THE MORNING ADVERTISER.

THE extraordinary increase which has taken
place in the circulation of the " Morning Advertiser" since its
enlargement, three years ago, has been followed by so great an
influx of advertisements as to render indispensable the publication of
a series of SUPPLEMENTS after the commencement of the
approaching session. Supplements to the " Morning Advertiser will
accordingly be issued as often as the pressure of Advertisements or
intelligence rimy render their publication requisite. To form an idea
of the increase which has taken place in the circulation of the
" Morning Advertiser," it will only be necessary to give the News-
paper Stamp Returns for 1850, and the circulation, as nearly as may
be ascertained, of the various morning papers, except one, at the
present time. In 1850 the Stamp Returns gave the following re-
sults :
MORNING ADVERTISER • • ...... 1,549,843
Daily News .. • • ...... • ..... 1,152,000
' Morning Herald • . • • • • • • • 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle9l2.s47
Morning Post .. ••.. • • ....
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. Were the Stamp Returns to be given
down to the present time, the relative circulation of the" Morning
Advertiser to its tour morning contemporaries—assuming that their
circulation has undergone no diminution—would be as follows:—
MORNING ADVERTISER ........ • 2,356,260
Daily News • .... •••• • • • • 1,152,000
Morning Herald .. • .... • • • • ........ ..... ... 1,139,000
Morning Chronicle .• • • • • • . • • . 912,517
Morning Post •-..••• • • • • • • .......... • 828,000
It will he seen that the present circulation of the " Morning Adver-
tiser" is more than double that of the two highest of its four contem-
poraries, and nearly treble that of one of their number. The annals
of journalism contain no instance of success at all approaching to this.
Such brilliant progress is the best compliment which could be paid to
the Morning Advertiser's entire independence of all parties and
Governments, and its earnest and unceasing advocacy of the popular
cause.
