—Professor Lizant on,the Treatment of Stricture.

The paper read was " On the Nature and Properties
of Timber, with notices of several methods, now in use,
for its preservation from decay," by Mr. Henry Potter
Burt, Assoc. Inst. C. E. The author first examined the
different species of home and foreign grown timber, their
various properties, uses, tendencies to decay, under cer-
tain circumstances, the most apparent causes of dry rot,
the formation of fungi, and the action of wet and of heat ;
noticing the extraordinary duration of specimens of tim-
ber found in Egypt, in the ruins of Nineveh, and in the
more recent monastic and castellated edifices of this
country. The chemical constitution of wood was
examined, in order to trace the origin of decay, and to
lead to the consideration of the most efficient means of
arresting it. The necessity of some efficacious and yet
moderately cheap system of preserving timber, was
insisted on, from the great demand for railway and other
engineering works, not only in Europe, but even in the
East Indies ; where it was remarkable, that the wood
which would resist the climate and the ravages of the
white ant, was only to be found at such distances inland
that the expense of carriage, in a country devoid of good
means of communication, rendered it more economical to
buy fir timber in the north of Europe, convert to the
required dimensions, and saturate it with creosote in
England, and convey it by sea"to India, for the use of
the railway. now in course of construction in that
country. The earliest record, of preserving animal 'and
vegetable substances were traced back to the Egyptians,
whose mummies were embalmed by being boiled in pitch,
found floating in the lakes ; the linen and the timber, so
preserved; gave the first idea for adapting the process to
the wants of the present period, and several of the
patents granted were enumerated and commented on ;
the greatest space being devoted to those of Kyan, for
chloride of mercury ; Burnett, for chloride of zinc ;
Margary, for acetate, or sulphate of copper ; Payne, for
the use of two solutions in succession, mutually decom-
posing each other, and forming an insoluble substance in
the pores of the wood ; and Bothell, for creosote, or oil
of coal-tar; which last had, by its extensive employment
inharbour, railway, and other engineering works, proved,
that when properly executed, the preservation of the
timber from decay and from the ravages of insects,
might be considered complete. The paper was illustrated
by a series of models and drawings, showing the various
apparatus for the several processes, enlarged diagrams of
microscopic views of sections of several kinds of timber,
both in the natural state and after being creosoted ;
experiments on the degrees of saturation by the process,
and on the transverse strength of the timber ; with the
results of the improvements introduced into the system,
by the author, whose experience had been very exten-

DEATH FROM DRINKING FOR A WAGER.—On Tues-
day, Mr. W. S. Rutter, county coroner for Lancashire,
held an inquest at the Manor Inn, Church-street, Sal-
ford, on the body of Robert Farnworth, a labouring
man. It appeared that on Monday morning, the de-
ceased was at the Mount Tavern beer-house, in Rosa-
mond-itreet, Salford, kept by James Tipping ; that some-
where about noon there were many persons drinking in
two of the lower rooms ; that two fiddlers were playing,
and that dancing was going on. The deceased had
apparently had a good deal to drink before he got to
the beerhouse, and he talked about having been drinking
for a wager in Oldfield-road. He also drank freely in
the beerhouse, there being present the traveller or
" townsman" of a brewer, who "stood" drink for all
present ; a witness stating that he saw two half gallon jugs
on the tables of the room in which the deceased was,
which he thinks were re-filled once, if not twice. The
witness heard the deceased offering to make a wager that
he would drink a certain quantity of ale ; and he thought
he afterwards made a bet that he would 'drink twelve
gills of ale within an hour, taking one every five minutes.
The witness was sitting by the fire, and only saw the
deceased drink one gill after this. The men in the
room had told him to " chalk down" upon the chimney-
piece, so as to show how many the deceased drank ; he
made a mark whenever the men called out to him to do
so, and he had no doubt that he had made nine or ten
marks, if not more. The gill of ale which he saw the
deceased drink was poured out from a quart jug by Tip-
ping, the landlord. After he had made the nine or ten
marks, the witness observed that the deceased was ill,
and he went to him and advised him to go to a druggist
and get an emetic, or else to go to a doctor ; the deceased
asked for "more ale." The deceased was afterwards
removed to another room, and soon afterwards, while the
witness was looking at a man dancing on one leg in the
room in which the deceased had been drinking, a girl
came to the door, and said, " Yon man's dying. Wit-
ness and others went to him, and found him stooping
over a pail, with his hands "stuffed into his mouth,
like," and quite black about the neck and ears. They
got him up and rubbed him, and sent for a doctor, who
administered an emetic, but all to no purpose. The jury
returned a verdict of "Died from excessive drinking ;"
the foreman remarking that they thought great blame
attached to the landlord, for not only allowing, but
taking part in, such a disgraceful proceeding.
GLASGOW lISTOMS' REVENUE.—The Glasgow Citizen
publishes a statement of the Customs' revenue returns
at Glasgow for the quarter and the year ending sth

is an increase on the former as compared with the corres-

is abundantly eviden
from the cheering increase which
is presented on the tonnage returns on the year. The
general trade of the Clyde, we are happy to state, -was
never in a more flourishing condition.

"A common origin, a common faith, and we sincerely
believe a common cause, urge us at the present moment
to address you on the subject of enormous social evils
which still prevail so extensively, and, even under kindly
disposed rulers, with such frightful results, in everypart
of your country.
"We approach you to-day, not with fiction, but
with fact--not fact as exaggerated, perverted, and
discoloured by the novelist's imagination, but fact as
presented in its naked simplicity by Parliamentary
documents, or -other statistical writings which are
egarded in your land as of standard authority.
It will be impossible for us to bring now to your
consideration the immense aggregate of evils which are
visited upon the poor and helpless by your husbands and
brothers through the vast extent of your Sovereign's
dominions. We must forbear to speak of the flagitious
and bloody modes by which those dominions have been
extended and are'now extending in Southern Africa, in
Southern Asia; and:through the Southern Seas 1 We
can say nothing of. the iniquitous war your nation waged
upon the Chinese, or of the untold miseries caused by
the forced imposition of the opium traffic upon that
people ; not even for poor Ireland can we invoke your
sympathies now—that land which through misrule
has decreased in population twenty per cent, with-
in the last Year, and of which one of your own ad-
mired writers—the Rev. Sydney Smith—wrote these
words, as awful as they are true, a So great and so long has
been the misgovernment ofthat country, that we verily be-
lieve the empire would be much stronger if everything
were open sea between-England and the Atlantic, and
if skates and codfish swam over the fair land of Ulster.'
Sisters, we suppress our indignation, and touch upon none
of these things now. It is upon evils on your own soil,
in your own communities—evils among which you daily
live and move, and with which you have personally to
do, that we now address you. We wish to speak to you
of the ignorant, and the poverty-stricken and the degraded
population of your own land, and we shall do it with
faithfulness, yet with kindness.
" Sisters, your land is filled with slaves—slaves to ig-
norance, slaves to penury, and slaves to vice. The ter-
rible truth has been told you by one of your most learned
and respected authors, Joseph Say, of Trinity College,
Cambridge, at the close of his great work on national
education, which is or ought to be familiar to you all—
that in England, where the aristocracy is richer and
more powerful than that of any other country in the
world, the poor are more oppressed, more pauperised,
more numerous in comparison to the other classes,
more irreligious, and very much worse educated than
the poor of any other European nation, solely ex-
cepting uncivilised Russia and Turkey, enslaved
Italy, misgoverned 'Portugal, and revolutionised
Spain.' The first and greatest of all popular
needs in every free Christian ' country is the need of in-
struction ; and yet your country has no system of public
education that is worthy of the name. The entire
amount of your annual Parliamentary appropriations for
the education of your people is less by thousands of
pounds than the annual public expenditures made for
this purpose by the city of New York alone. One
person out of every eight in your population is a pauper,
and the average poor-rates of England, for the last ten
years, have been 6,000,000/. ; and yet to provide public
education, and thus in a great measure remedy the very
neglect which has cursed you with this grievous and
yearly-increasing burden, your national Legislature has
expended in six years only 600,000/. One-third of the
population of the State of New York, according to our
census tables, just published, are regularly receiving
education in our public schools ; according to your
Parliamentary returns, only one-eleventh of your popu-
lation are enjoying a similar advantage. Sisters, is that
a Christian state of society which, for some millions of
your people, renders the development and cultivation of
all those faculties which distinguish man from the brute
little better than a physical impossibility ?
"You, whom we are addressing, live in all parts of
England, but everywhere, in the metropolis, in the
manufacturing towns, and in the country, you see about
you the most pitiable destitution and degradation. In
London there are, we understand, more than 1,000,000
of immortal beings who are never seen in the house of
God, and practically think the thoughts and live the
lives of absolute heathens. The condition of a large
portion of the labouring population of that vast city may
be judged from the fact that of its 20,000 journeyman
tailors, 14,000 can barely earn a miserable subsistence
by working 14 hours a day, Sunday included ; and that
it contains 33,000 needlewomen, who earn on an aver-
age only 44d. a day, by working 14 hours. There are
50,000 people in London who obtain their living in the
streets, and Henry Mayhew, an authority whom you will
not venture to question, says of them, 'When the reli-
gious, moral, and intellectual degradation of the majo-
rity f these 50,000 people is impressed upon us, it be-
comes positively appalling to contemplate the vast
amount of vice, ignorance, and want existing in the very
heart of our land. There are 30,000 costermongers ; of
these he says only one-tenth—at the outside one-tenth
—of the couples living together; and carrying on their
costermongering trade, are married ; ' that not three
in a hundred of them had ever been in the interior of a
church or any place of worship, or know what waameant
by Christianity, and only one in ten of . them is able to
read.' In your matufactming towns the case is no bet-
ter. In Glasgow, there are 60,000 women' engaged in
factories or needle-work, whose average earnings do not
exceed 7s. or Bs. a week. Dr. Paterson, whom you know
and respect as one of the most eminent divines in that
city, stated, in a public speech not long since, that in
three wynds, constituting but a portion of his parish,
there were, in a population of 3,232, only 83 church
sittings, or little more than an average of two and a-half
to 100, and that in the whole locality there were only 117
Bibles. Certain it is,' he exclaims, 'that nothing short
of a levy en mane of whatever there is of living Chris-
tianity in the city, in all the branches of the Church of
Christ, will suffice to make head against the augmenting
ignorance, and ungodliness, and infidelity with which we
have to deal. If we do not destroy the evil, it will destroy
us.' Out of 10,461 burials in that city in 1850 no less
than 2,381, or nearly a fourth, were at the pnblic ex-
pense. Glasgow, in these particulars, is but a speci-
men of your manufacturing towns generally. So, too,
of your country population. A very large number of
your agricultural population live in filthy and crowded
cottages, where the sexes are in close and perilous con-
tact night and day, where decency is difficult, and com-
fort impossible ; the effect of which is to break down the
barriers of morality, to obliterate all the sweet and sav-
ing attractions of a home, to weaken and desecrate all
domestic ties, and to brutalise the manners, an debase
every natural feeling. The cottage accommodation of
your villages is little or no' better ; • and the low tone of
morality which this, in conjunction with other unfavour-
able influences, has caused, may
be inferred from the
following sad statement, made last May in the North
British Review :—" There are few things more remark-
able in the sight of observant residents in many
country villages than the small number of marriages
solemnised in the course of the year. Among these
few things we are afraid must be mentioned the num-
ber of illegitimate children that are born into the world.
In some villages, indeed, these events are of such
frequent occurrence as to excite neither surprise nor in-
dignation There is something in this kind
of insensibility which is very chilling and disheartening.
This obtuseness of the moral senses, this deadness to
shame, makes one almost despair over it. When the
standard of public opinion is so low, there is little hope
of practical improvement.'

lower orders, as such, you owe, not charity, but justice
—not so much the open purse as the equal measure; ad-

You owe it to them to employ your superior capacities,
your richer opportunities, your maturer wisdom, in
cheering their toil, smoothing their difficulties, directing
their often misguided and suicidal energies. You owe
to them every facility with which you can surround
their conflict amidst the obstacles of life—facility to
obtain land, to obtain employment, or obtain coloni-
sation—facility to acquire temperate habits, to accumu-
late savings, to employ them wisely, to invest them
well—facility, above all, to acquire that which is at
once the key and crown of all, solid and comprehen-
sive instruction in all the things which belong both
to their earthly welfare and their future peace. How
you have performed these duties may be learned
from the following short paragraph in a work pub-
blished last year, by William Johnston, barrister-at-
law, entitled, ' England as it Is.' The separation
between rich and poor—the dis-sympathy and isolation
of classes—is the great social evil of the time. In-
stitutions for scientific and literary teaching by lecturers,
at the cheapest possible rates, are established ; parks,
for the recreation of the lower orders, are established ;
even clubs, upon something like the aristocratic model,
where conveniences and luxuries are supplied at lower
prices ; but all this seems unsuccessful. What one
wants to see—a mutual and hearty recognition of the
difference of civilisation, a kind and cordial combination
on the one hand, and an equally cordial, but still re-
spectful, devotedness on the other—appears to make no
progress.' This is the common complaint among all
your philanthropists. Now, sisters, we do not shut our
eyes to the difficulties that might beset the sudden eleva-
tion of your degraded population to the rights and the
dignity of manhood, But, nevertheless, we cannot be

It is the same with regard to the various other
social and moral evils which exist among us. We

long, do a great deal more, to grapple with, and
master the monster evils with which we are every-
where surrounded. And, in order that we may
apply ourselves with greater resolution and in-
creased energy to the task, we are heartily glad
that such a stimulus as that which the address of
the American ladies supplies, has reached us from
the opposite shores of the Atlantic.
But we say again, that for the more collossal
evils which we have to deplore as existing among
u; the people of this country are much less to
blame than the Government. It is the duty of
Government to apply remedies for the evils of Ire-
land, and to provide a sound and salutary educa-
tion for the children of those who are unable to
procure instruction for • -themselves. It is unjust
and ungenerous, also. to hold the nation respon-
sible for the sins of the Government. The women
of America might, with 'just' as much justice, re-
proach the nation for those other short-comings in
the. Governmerit, Such" the non-introduction of
necessary reforms, which the people deeply and con-
tinually deplore.
But it is otherwise with American slavery. That
is spoken of and cherished as a "peculiar institu-
tion," and as one which may be defended on vari-
ous conclusive grounds. The American people not
only do nothing to abolish slavery, but they do not
recognise it as their duty to do anything. On the
contrary, they seek to maintain it. They not only
justify it, but regard it as one of the institutions of
their country of which they ought to be proud. It
is because the women of England entertain an op-
posite view, and have addressed a friendly remon-
strance to them, that the American ladies have
written in a spirit of recrimination, and with great
bitterness of spirit, but ill concealed under an at-
tempt at the use of a polite phraseology. There is
thus a great distinction in the degrees of culpability
between the Americans and the people of England.
Slavery is the adopted and proudly-caressed child
of the nation ' • the moral and social evils which
prevail in this country are not only condemned by
the nation, but all that voluntary effort could do
has been done to put an end to them.
We have said, that in the " Affectionate and
Christian Address of many thousands of the United
States of America to their. Sisters, the Women of
England," there is a studied absence of any allusion
to the enormities of Transatlantic slavery. But,
notwithstanding that fact, no one can fail to
perceive how sore the Americans feel whenever
that subject is spoken of. In the opening part
of the address to the "sisters of England," there
is a sneer at " Uncle Tom's Cabin," which tells, in
terms which cannot be misunderstood, how deeply
the exposures in that wonderful work have cut
the American body to the quick. "We ap-
proach you to-day," say the sisters of the
United States, " not with fiction, but with fact—
not fact as exaggerated, perverted,' and discoloured
by the novelist's imagination, but fact as presented
in its naked simplicity, by Parliamentary docu-
ments, or other statistical writings, which are
regarded in your land as of standard authority."
No one can mistake the allusion here. We will not
pause to defend Mrs. Stowe's work from the attack
thus made, by implication, upon it. It is• because
of the stern, stubborn facts with which that book
abounds, that it has produced so great an impres-
sion in both hemispheres, and has made the slave-
power groan and quail under its terrible exposures.
Though the American women betray so much
soreness at the faithful remonstrance which their
sisters in England have addressed to them, we anti-
cipate immediate results from it of the most bene-
ficial kind. It will have the effect of making the
people of America reflect more on the subject of
slavery than they have ever before done ; and be-
cause we have an unbounded faith in the ultimate
triumphs of truth, justice, and humanity, we cannot
doubt that the result of that additional reflection
will be the destruction of the " domestic institu
tion."

CLUTTON ABDUCTION CASE.—We have heard from
good authority that this case, which made so much,noise
in the neighbourhood some months back, came on on
Wednesday, the 22d ult. before Mr. Justice Erle, his
lordship having to try the contempt of court committed
by Mr. Money in taking away his wife, while she was
under a writ of habeas corpus procured from himself.
The investigation lasted three hours, and the judge at
the conclusion dismissed Mr. Money, not only without
punishment or reproof, but with every expression of
sympathy and condolence. He said that his judgment
proceeded from the evidence as then brought before him;
and he stated that Mr. Money, without any fault of his
own, had been subjected to the greatest calamity that
could befal a man ; and that, under the most trying and
painful circumstances, he had behaved in a kind and
honourable manner.—Bristol Mercury.

WOOLWICH, JAN. 13.
APPOINTMENT.
Master's Assistant—William Baker, to the Cruiser j
steam-sloop, at Woolwich.
The Royal Albert, 120, has had the extension of her
keel completed, and the aft stern post was put up on
Saturday evening last, the men continuing to work after
six o'clock, that it might be adjusted in its proper posi-
tion. The aft stern-post is 5 feet in breadth, 1 foot
6 inches thick, and 36 feet high, and it weighs upwards
of 10 tons. It is formed of several large pieces of ex-
cellent timber, strongly joined and held together by sub-
stantial bolts. The other stern-post, through which the
shaft of the screw propeller will pass, has been put to-
gether, and is nearly ready for being put up. It is made
of two pieces of massive timber, joined together and se-
cured by strong bolts. The replacing of the other tim-
bers taken down to admit of this splendid ship being
converted into a war steamer, with engines of 400-horse
power, and screw propeller and the general work on
board, are:progressing rapidly, anti she will be ready for
launching during the summer of the present year.
The Cruiser steam-sloop, Commander the Hon. G. H.
Douglas, received' her stores on boarrd yesterday. The
officers acid-creib jare abeomniOclated on board the Medusa
stern}-sloop,,fin the inner basin, untiPthe Cruiser is fully
ready for their per napi,t reception which it is iexpected
she will-be on the 15th inst.
The Meg era iron screw steam-frigate is in the eastdock having her bottom payed with Mr. Hay's compo-
sition. The four lower stern-ports on each side of the
frigate have been filled up with sheet iron, of the same
thickness as the iron of which she is constructed, and
rivetted so as to be permanently closed, and the only
opening left where these ports were situated is a small
space in the centre of each of about 8 inches by 5 inches,
for admitting light and affording some degree of ventila-
tion. The other lower ports forward are to have the
lower folding-flap of each port, on both sides, closed and
Permanently fixed and caulked, leaving the upper parts
as they are at present, for light and ventilation. The
Meg era is expected to be ready by the 18th inst., and,
when completed, will be a much more serviceable and
comfortable vessel for troops, from her lower ports being
water-tight.
The Firebrand steam-frigate, Captain Hyde Parker,
is expected to be ready by the 9th of February.
The Tribune, 30, screw steam-frigate, building at
Sheerness, was expected here yesterday, the Monkey
and African steam vessels, when they went down the
river with the Imperieuse, having remained to tow up
the Tribune to receive on board her engines at this port.
The wind having blown so strongly for several days, it
was considered advisable to let the vessel remain on the
stocks until the weather became more moderate. A dis-
tilling-galley is ordered to be ready for the Tribune by
the lst of March.

FRIGHTFUL MURDER ON BOARD A VESSEL AT LIVER-
POOL.—On Wednesday night a most frightful murder
was committed on board of the ship Guy Mannering; at
present lying in the river, bound for New York. So
far as we can learn, the facts of this tragedy are briefly
as follows :—About eleven o'clock on Wednesday night
a boat-load of seamen, shipped by Mr. Da Silva, of
Great Howard-street, were taken on board the Guy
Mannering. During the passage from the pier to the
vessel, a dispute arose between two of the men, William
Christie, an American, and Mezia da Costo, a Portu-
guese. The quarrel between them broke out again on
board, and, according to some statements, Da Costo,
the deceased, followed Christie, the alleged murderer,
about the deck with an open knife in his hand.
Christie, in self-defence, then drew his knife and stabbed
Da Costo four times in the abdomen and back, wound-
ing him most fearfully, and almost ripping him
open. Da Costo died from the effects of the wounds in-
flicted on him in about half an hour, and Christie was
immediately seized and put in irons by the captain. In-
formation was expeditiously sent to the police authori-
ties, and yesterday morning Carlisle, assisted by two
offices, took Christie into custody, lowering him into a
boat with ropes, to prevent him from jumping over-
board, as he had threatened to do. The prisoner is an
intelligent-looking young man, born in New York, and
about 23 years of age. He can readsand write well, and
appeared quite composed, answering all questions put to
him calmly, and without hesitation. Immediately after
stabbing Da Costo, he threw the knife into the river.
The body of Da Costo, which presdits'a most shocking
spectacle, was brought from the Guy Mannering yekiler-
day morning, and placed in the deadhouse, where it was
viewed by the coroner's jury in the afternoon, as it was
expected that the prisoner would first be examined be-
fore the coroner. This murder has created great excite-
meni in the town. A crowd of persons was collifte44
on the piers, to see the prisoner brought on shore. The
inquest is to be held to-day before Mr. Curry, the
coroner.

EMIGRATION lIARDSIIIPS.—Amongst the fleet of ships

Australia, with upwards of 240 emigrants on board, com-
posed of French

many

departure got dismasted, and was thereby obliged to put
Ramsgate, to be refitted, where she remainedoftwo
months, and is now only arrived here. Several

On Wednesday evening a magnificent entertainment
was given by the merchants, and other inhabitants, of
Southampton, to the directors of the General Screw
Steam Shipping Company, to celebrate the selection of
that port by the company as the station for the arrival
and departure of their ships, and also to honour the arri-
val of the Queen of the South, the first ship of the coin-
pany's fleet that occupied a berth in the Southampton
Docks. The representatives of all the great mercantile
and shipping companies connected with Southampton
received invitations, and also those of some of the new
steam shipping companies recently formed, the Sheriffs
of London, and many eminent shipowners of the city.
The banquet took place in the Royal Victoria Rooms,
which were elegantly decorated. The Mayor (Joseph
Lankester, Esq.) presided—supported right and left
by the Attorney-General and Mr. Willcox, members
for the borough ; Mr. R. M. Fox, M.P., managing
director of the Screw Shipping Company ; Capt. Austin,
R.N., Lord G. Lennox, Sir Ed. Butler, Mr. C. Brett,
Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Carter, Mr. Sheriff Croll,
Mr. Ogilby, Sir John Campbell, Mr. Hawes, Mr. Cham-
pion Wetton, Mr. J. L. O'Beirne, Mr. L. Somes, Mr.

tain R. Ford, Mr.. Rigmarcien, Mr. J. Mattlie'vfs (of
Grindlay and .C 0.),, Mr. W. Felgate, &c., &c. -• The
principal vice-chairs were filled by 'Mr. Alderman An,
drews, Mr. Alderman Laishley, and Mr. Deacon, Town, Clerk. •
On the removal of the cloth, the MAYOR proposed, in
succession. "The .Queen," and " Prince Albert, the
Prince of Wales, and the rest of the royal family."
The MAYOR then proposed "Her Majesty's Ministers,
coupled with the name of Sir Alexander Cockburn, the
Attorney-General." Drunk with great applause.
Sir ALEXANDER COCKBURN was very warmly received
.on rising to return thanks. He said he felt it would be
as ill-timed as unwelcome if he were to make the slightest
political allusion in reference to the toast, but he trusted
he might be allowed to claim for her Majesty's ministers
credit at least for a deep and all engrossing desire-faith-
fully and honestly to discharge their duty to their Sove-
reign and their country. (Hear, hear.) It was doubt-
less an object of great ambition to guide the destinies of
this mighty empire : but at the same time the strongest
might well quail before a task so great. At home, a
people full of energy, and increasing daily in wealth and
power ; abroad, an empire on which the sun never sets ;
throughout the whole world subjects of our common coun-
try to be found ; our flag floating on every sea ; from this
little island, throbbing the full 'tide of civilisation and
prosperity to the uttermost ends of the earth ! It was
no small task to undertake the government of so vast
and mighty an empire. He could not but recollect,
whilst touching on this theme, how large a province this
town of Southampton was assuming in the relations be-
tween the mother country and its vast colonial depen-
dencies. They, the inhabitants of Southampton—and
they, the representatives of the great commercial steam-
ship companies, were making this port tho connecting
link between the empire at home and our great colonial
dependencies abroad. In how many hearts was the

THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
The Stamp Returns of the circulation of the MORNING
NEWSPAPERS in 1850, the latest published, give the following
results :
MORNING ADVERTISER . . . 1,549,843
Daily News 1,152,000
:ifo mg 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 circulation, 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 four morning contemporaries (assuming that their
eirculatibn has undergone no diminution) would be as follows :
MORNING ADVERTISER . .
Daily News
Morning Herald . . . .
Morning Chronicle . . . .
,912.547
Morning Post . . . . 828,000

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.
Bo proud n 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.
