CIRCUL TION OF THE MORNING PAPERS.

THE extraordinary -*crease- wtrieh-liu taken
•
pl,ce in 'he circulation of the Vorni,ig A•ivertlier" since its
raorgelnent. three years ago. shalt beers-followed by so great an
influx of advertisements as to render indt-pensable the nu lication of
series of SUPPLE 11E% T, after the commencetnent of th
aPProac.hinx session. Supplements to the " Morning Advertiser will
intelli
according y be i,sued as often as the pressure of Advent ements or
Bence may
render their pnbileation requisite. To tom an i-lea
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 mornine papers, except one, at the
present time. In 1850 the Stamp Returns gave the foltowing re-

It will be observed from this statement, that, omitting the • Times,"
the circulation of the "Morning Advertiser" was then tar above that
Of Its morning contemporaries. Were the Stamp Returns to be given
dOwil to the present time, the relative circulation of the" Morning
Advertiser to its four morning contemporaries assuming that their
circulation has undergone no diminution—would be as f )lows:—

It will be seen that the present circulation of the " Morning Adver-
tiser" is more than double that of the two highest of its tour contem-
poraries, and nearly treble that of one of their number. The annals
of journalism contain no nstance of success at all approaching to this.
Ruch 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

MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF
~DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT,
YOUTH AND MATURITY.
37, REDFORD-SQUIRE. LONDON,
uoctor of Medicine, and 'Matriculated Mem°er of the University 0:
Edinburgh, Honorary Memher of the London Hospital Medical
Society. Licentiate of Apothecaries' Flail, London, &c., &c.
MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on
the various disorders of the nervous and generative system,
resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro-
duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema-
ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis-
eases !znown to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience
In the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist
once secret causes of self-acrytnred miseries and disappointed hopes in
existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous
Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri-
ages, Impotency Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their
endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. _ .

...
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
Principles of personal management which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
talky be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may he removed,
and how the evil and its con equenc es may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
DOCTOR LA'IVIERT has for a long series of years been engaged
in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com-
plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless
of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had
the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct
attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is
free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply
rewarded by the great success that has attended his Obits in the
treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the
care of unqualified and Ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated
publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues
of their patent nostrums, have Inflicted serious injury on those who
have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.
At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from
Six till Eight. All letters mutt contain the fee of it., and advice and

OXFORD UNIVERSITY ELECTION.

We have every reason to believe that the question as
to the choice of a representative for the University of
Oxford in the room of Sir Robert Inglis has been finally
settled, and that Sir William Heathcote will be elected
without opposition. Thus has been fulfilled what was
predicted as the inevitable result of the tactics pursued
by the leaders of the opposite party in Oxford, and the
representation of the University, which might fairly
claim that both of its great phases of opinion should be
heard in Parliament, has passed entirely into the hands
of one, and that one directed by a committee acting on
the University from without. This is what has come of
fighting a battle with impossible candidates, with incur-
ables averse to all reform either in Church or State,
and with men who were simply set up to be knocked
down, and of whom no one has ever heard after
they were beaten. The friends of Dr. Travers
Twiss, indeed, were desirous of bringing him for
ward, and there is little doubt that, had ho been dis-
posed to revive the animosities caused by the late
contest, he might have put the supporters of Sir
William Heathcote to considerable trouble and expense ;
but, under all the circumstances, in a manner which
deserves to be appreciated by the University, he has
declined the doubtful honour, and deelared that he will
not oontest the University on the present vacancy. We
observe that the organs of the Low Church party weary
themselves in finding excuses for accepting Sir William
Heathcote ; but, if they ever mean to regain a share in
the representation of the University, they must find out
or train up a candidate with views more in accordance
with the wants of the age than those professed by their
candidates of late years, or be prepared to see both seats
constantly occupied by their antagonists.—Times.

A report has reached us that some gentlemen of ex-
treme views, who are dissatisfied with Sir William
Heathcote's Conservative principles, contemplate bring-
ng forward Dr. Travers Twiss, of University. Dr.
Twiss is, as we stated some weeks ago, a " Whig and
something more," and we would advise members of Con-
vocation to make themselves fully acquainted with his
views before promising him their votes. We sincerely
tt ust the peace of the University may not be unneces-
sarily disturbed by a contest so hopeless,--Morning
