CIRCULATION OF THE LONDON MORNING PAPER 9.

THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
The Stamp Returns of the circulation of the MORNING
111 E WSPAYERS in 1850, the latest published, give the following
results :
MORNING ADVERTISER . . . 1,549,843
Daily News ..... . 1,152,000
Morning Herald 1 139,000
Morning Chronicle . . . 912,547
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 double
sheet, and since that time it has met with a measure of success,
both as regards the extent of its circa:aft:on, and the number of its
advertisements, which has no parallel in the annals of English
journalism. Were tte Stamp Returns to be given down to the
present time, the relative circulation of the MORNING ADVER-
TISER to its four morning contemporaries (assuming that their
eirculation has undergone no diminution) would be as follows :
MORNING ADVERTISER . .
Daily News
Morning Herald 1 139,000
Morning Chronicle 912 547
Morning Post

It will be seen that the present circulation of THE MORNING
ADVER rIBER 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.
So proud a position among its contemporaries is to be regarded as
the best t-ibute that could be paid to its thorough independence of
all parties and Governments, and Its earnest advocacy of the
popular cause.
