THE MORNING ADYERTISER.-
At the Meeting of the Proprietors of the Mosmine ADvEa-
'rinse, at the 1,,,nd0n Tavern, on the 17th instant—the largest of
their body ever held during the sixty years of their Journal's exist-
ence—they formally pledged themselves to the Public that the Paper
shall continue to be conducted on those popular and thoroughly in-
dependent principles which have during the last four years, under
its present Editorial auspices, raised it to the high position which it
occupies as the second Journal in the Empire. They also adopted a
resolution empowering Mr. Grant, the Editor, to incur any amount
of expenditure which may be deemed necessary in securing the very
highest order oThiterary Talent and procuring the earliest Political
aad Commercial Intelligence. The Mosavina ADVERTISER, there-
fore, with the vast resources now placed at the Editor's disposal, has
before it the prospect of even a more brilliant career than has cha-
racterised it during the last four years of its existence, in which
period it has risen in circulation with a rapidity which has no parallel
in the history of the Daily Press. Its present relative position to
that of the other Morning Papers, omitting the Times, will be seen
from the Official Stamp Returns for the year 1853.
