CIRCULATION" OF VIE L)NDON ➢IORNING PAPEBq

THE MORNING ADVERTISER.
The Stamp Returns of the circulation of the MORNING
NEWSPAPERS in 1850, the latest published, give the following
results :
MOIaTING ADVERTISER . . . 1,549,843
Daily News . ..... 1,152,003
Morning Herald 1 139,600
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 pernfanently 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
;ournalism. 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
circulation has undergone no diminution) would be as follows:

MORNING ADVERTISER
Daily News
Morning Herald . .
Morning Chronicle .
Morning Post .

. 2,220,000
. 1,152.000
. 1,139,000
. .912,547
. 823,000

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.
So proud a 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.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,--The Bank of England may be quite right in
raising the rate of discount ; but would not capital be
kept in this country more effectually, if Government
relaxed our absurd law of partnership ? A man having a
little spare cash, rather than incur the risk of being
ruined under the Joint-Stock Act, invests it in foreign
loans and schemes which do not involve any personal
liability. Australia, California, and Free-trade have so
far averted the panic now due ; but two or three foreign
loans with a deficient harvest would soon change our
prospects.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
A FREE-TRADER.

COMMUNICATION WITH FRANCE.—Complaints
t are re;
ceived of the discontinuance by the French NorthernZ
Railway Company of the tidal trains in correspondence
hours,
with the Folkestone steamers. If a direct service lx3-
tween London and Paris only occupying 12
ac-
complished by day, and varied in the time of departure
so as always to insure a favourable tide; is in every case
a great convenience to travellers, it is most of all so at
this season. The mail service, conducted by night, and
at fixed hours, cannot replace it, and is not only open
to frequent irregularities, but, being arranged specially
for the transmission of letters, and rightly treating
everything else as a secondary importance, it exposes
passengers to many discomforts and inconveniences
in cold and stormy weather, from which a tidal service
exempts them.
EMIGRATION.—The Emigration Commissioners have
given notice that they will be, prepared to receive tenders
on the 22d inst. for three vessels to take out emigrants
to Western Australia, New South Wales, and Victoria.
They are to be ready to receive the passengers for Perth
and Sydney on the 28th of February, and for Melbourne
on the 2d of March next.

TURKEY.

The Leonidas, which was to leave Constantinople
on the 15th or 16th ult., has not arrived on account
of unfavourable weather, but the Osiris, which left
on the 25th, brings letters which contain the fol-
lowing intelligence. The day after the Count de
Leininaen received the reply of the Porte, M.
d'Ozerot'ff, charge d'affaires of Russia, had commu-
nicated to Fuad Effendi a note of M. de Nesselrode,
which complained sharply of the attack on Monte-
negro, after the reiterated declgrAions of , the
Porte to maintain peace. The Russian Minister
declared in that note that the expedition, of Omer
Pacha, and the blockade of the coasts of Albania
had painfully surprised the Emperor Nicholas ;

GERMANY.

A letter from Leipsic of the 6th, in the Frank-
fort Journal, says :—" Yesterday the police made
domiciliary visits here to not less than 30 houses ;
it is supposed in consequence of information trans-
mitted from foreign powers. Amongst the persons
,whose residences were searched are several dele-
gates of the town, a functionary of state, some
literary men, and an ex-member of ;the Second
Chamber. It is generally believed that nothing
was found to compromise any of the persons sus-
pected."
The Independant of Saxony of the 7th, under its
Dresden head, says :—" On the indication of a
foreign. government domiciliary visits have been
made to several democrats. 7

A letter from Pesth of the 6th, in the Cologne
Gazette,. says :—" Numerous discoveries, which
have been lately made, prove that the revolutionary
propagandists have been also endeavouring to ruin
•
public
credit To that effect they had fabricated
forged . notes for from 50 florins to 60 florins.
Last week several arrests were effected at Buda
and Pesth.",

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—What a change !
since the days of Chaucer and the Canterbury pilgrims; then
the trading metropolis of the universe had but few Business Houses,
and a small amount of trade. Look now at the increased popula-
tion, the intelligence and importance of all classes, which have
claims in business before unknown. The purposes for which the
gigantic Establishments of E MOSES and SON were built have been
fully explained, and the manner in which business is there trans-
acted has proved " City improvements" highly satisfactory. These
improvements E. Moms and Sox have carried beyond the boundaries
or the City, the same principles of business' being pursued at their
Branch, NEW OXFORD-STREET, corner of HART-STREET. The money.
saved by individuals and families by patronising each Branch of
E. MOSES and Sox's business has been regarded as the greatest tin-

piovement of all. The telegraphic wires, which will soon conneet
each part of the City, is an improvement in the way of dispatch, and
is illustrative of the speed and correctness manifested in all com-

mends given to E. MOSES and Sox—whether these are for Attire,
to measure or ready made—for Waterproof Clothing or the easiest
and most fashionable Sporting Dress—for Overcoats, Wrappers, or
Paletots —for Juvenile Clothing, in the newest styles—for Hosiery,
Hats and Caps, or Hoots and Shoes—the superior quality did econo-
mical charges at E. MosEs and Sox's is the greatest " City improve-
ment," for Ladies, Gentlemen, and Families.

MALDON.

The committee resumed this morning at 11 o'clock.
A witness named Ransom deposed that he had been
instructed to take charge of a voter called Barham, that
he had taken him to his house to sleep the night before
the election, and had taken him next morning to the
Boar's Head to breakfast. He had received 12s. to
pay for the bed and breakfast. Had heard Barham
say to Dr. Tomlinson that if he voted as he wished, he
was not to go back to the Union. Dr. Tomlinson had
replied, " All right, my man."
Thomas Barham had been canvassed for his vote by
Dr. Tomlinson. Was at that time in the Union. Had
come out of the Union before the election.
The case was proceeding when our report left.

BANKRUPTCY COURT-( THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)
THE SALSETTE.---EXTRAORDINARY CASE.-EJECTMENT OF
THE MESSENGER'S ASSISTANT AND SAILING OF THE
VESSEL.

After the inquiry yesterday before the above learned
commissioner, considerable sensation was created from
inforniati on received that the Salsette, having obtained
new anchors, had set sail on her destination to Australia,
and having at the time all the property seized by the
messenger (Mr. Hamber) on board, and that the as-
sistant messenger was en route as an involuntary pas-
senger to the regions of the gold diggings. The first
information was gleaned through Lloyd's List, from which
it appeared that the vessel sailed early in the morning of
Thursday. The electric telegraph was called into re-
quisition, and the fact of the vessel having sailed was
placed beyond doubt, and it was presumed that the mate
had taken charge of the vessel.
This morning Mr. Hamber's assistant returned to
town, and made a report of his eventful history on the
seas. As he will be examined before the Commissioner,
it can only be stated now, that the vessel was put out to
sea against his will, and he had no power to prevent it ;
that when out at sea, he was informed that there were
no provisions on board for him, and as he had not got
an outfit, it was suggested that he should go ashore,
which he did by means of a boat.
[The ulterior proceedings in this extraordinary case
have not at present transpired, but it is supposed that
an application will be made for authority from the
Government for a duly accredited 'officer to proceed
by steamer to intercept the Salsette so singularly
rescued.]

Notwithstanding the departure of the Salsette, we are
informed on good authority that every creditor will re-
ceive 20s. in the pound on his debt, provided the adju-
dication against the owners be annulled. The ship's
departure having been necessary to pacify the passengers
and shippers of cargo, whose claims for damages,
had further delay intervened, would have swallowed
up, not merely the whole value of ship and cargo, but
also all the other property of the owners, leaving nothing
for the creditors, and to the utter ruin of Dunne and Ve-
aables, the former of whom, we have every reason to be-
lieve, is possessed of a handsome fortune.
London, England, 1853-03-12

now being inflicted with regard to those papers, in con-
sequence of the extraordinary facilities which are now
offered of carrying down the. London bewspapers to
within 100 miles of the metropolis. The provincial
editor has not only little to interest his readers

beyond some few articles of local news, and
from the immense burden which the advertisement
duty imposes upon him he is not in a position to employ
the literary talent which he would otherwise be enabled
to do. 1 know many newspaper proprietors in the
country who, with limited capital, are glad to take

long advertisements for the sake of the duty alone,

on -condition of frequent insertion, in order to
save the cost of composition. The generality of
the tax and its equality of amount, whether charged
on papers which circulate 5,000 or 500 was another
point which weighed with unusual severity upon the
provincial press. If I were the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer to-morrow, I should venture to repeal the whole
of the tax to-morrow, because I am satisfied that the in-
crease of the amount paid on the penny stamp, and the
paper duties, would more than replace to the revenue
that lost by this reduction.

Mr. CooKE said, from his experience as an advertising
agent, he could assure the Chancellor of the Exchequer
that the pressure of the duty had great effect in deter-
ring advertisers from advertising to the extent which they
would otherwise have done had it not been so great. He
had recently known a case in which a tradesman intending
to spend 1501. in short advertisements, on hearing that
451. would go to the Government in the share of duty,
had been frightened at the apparent useless expense, and
instantly reduced his advertisements to 501. These were
things which were constantly occurring and which made
it very apparent that the duty was a great burden and
hindrance to commercial enterprise.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —What is your
'opinion of the relative advantages of abolition and re-
duction ?

Mr. COOKE—Although we should prefer abolition, we
should be glad to take a reduction if we could get no
more

Mr. YOUNG—Not worth having.
The CHANCELLOR of the. EXCHEQUER (with a smile).

Not worth having, Mr. Young.
After a few concluding remarks from Mr. Ewart,
M.P.,

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHECIORR stated that he
was very much pleased at having had an opportunity
of hearing the opinions which had been expressed to him,
and the deputation then withdrew.
The general impression was in favour of a total repeal.

GERMANY,

A letter from Leipsic of the 6th, in the Frank-
fort Journal, says :--" Yesterday the police made
domiciliary visits here to not less than 30 houses ;
it is supposed in consequence of information trans-
mitted from foreign powers. Amongst the persons
whose residences were searched are several dele-
gates of the town, a functionary of state, some
literary men, and an ex-member Of the Second
Chamber. It is generally believed that nothing
was found to compromise any of the persons sus-
pected."
The Ind,ependant of Saxony of the 7th, under its
Dresden head, says :—" On the indication of a
foreign government domiciliary visits have been
made to several democrats."

A letter from Pesth of the 6th, in the Cologne,
Gazette, says Numerous discoveries, which
have been lately made, prove that the revolutionary
propagandists have been also endeavouring to ruin
public credit. To that effect they had fabricated
forged notes for from 50 florins to 60 florins.
Last week several arrests were effected at Buda
and Pesth."

SPAIN.

By the. Madrid journals of the 6th, which have
arrived in due course, we leara that the statement
given two days ago, that the Senate had rejected
the motion of M. Pena Aguayo, to the effect that
the communication of the Duke de Valencia (Nar-
vaez), relative to his expulsion from Spain, should
be referred to a committee for a report, was erro-
neous.. When the motion was brought on, the
President of the Council, to the surprise of the
Senate, declared that the Cabinet did not oppose it.
There was consequently no debate, contrary to
what had been expected, and the Senate retired to
its bureaux to nominate the committee demanded.
The committee elected were General Cordova, Ge-
neral Laureano Sanz, General Pezuela, General
O'Donnell, and the Duke de Rivas, who belong to
the Ministerial party, and M. Arrazola and M.
Pena Aguayo, of the opposition.
The Stock Exchange was not open on the 6th,
that day being Sunday.

We read the following in the Corriere Mercantile
of Genoa, of the 7th :—" Yesterday, after the ar-
rival of the Languedoc, from Naples, a rumour was
spread of an attempt on, the life of the King of
Naples. As yet we have no precise intelligence on
the matter."

The Milan Gazette of the sth publishes a sen-
tence-by the Court-martial of Mantua, by which
23 persons, including the Arch-priest of Revere
and the other two mentioned two- days 'ago, are
condemned • to death for high treason, and four
more to imprisonment in irons, for periods of from
five to eighteen years. Among the former are two
ecclesiastics, one Jew, three non-commissioned.
Hungarian officers, three merchants, eight land-
owners, and the rest engineers, lawyers, and phy-
sicians, all apparently well to'do in the world, if
we may judge.by the description griven of them in
the sentence. It is further stated that Field-Mar-
shal Radetzky has been pleased to commute the
punishmept of death into various periods of impri-
sonment in irons, varying from 5 to 16 years, ex-
cept with regard to the noblemen Carlo Montanari,
Tito Spenii .and• Grazioli, archpriest of Revere,
upon whom the •sentence of death was executed on,

tence bears the signature of Lieut.-Marshal Baron

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.—What a change !
since the days of Chaucer and the Canterbury pilgrims; Bien
the trading metropolis of the universe had but few Business Mouses;
and A small amount of trade. Look now at the increased popula-
tion, the intelligence and importance of all classes, which have
claims in business before unknown. The purposes for which the
gigantic Establishments of E. MOSES and SON werebuilt have been
fully explained, and the manner in which business is there trans-
acted has proved " City improvements" highly satisfactory. These
imnrovements E. MOSES and Sox have carried beyond the boundaries
of the City, the same principles of business being pursued at their
Branch, NEW OXFORD-STREET, corner Of HART-STREET. The money
saved by individuals and families by patronising each Branch of
E. MOSES and Sox's business has been regarded as the greatest im-,
. . .

provement of all. The telegraphic wires, which will soon connec-,
each part of the City, is an improvement in the way of dispatch, and
is illustrative of the speed and correctness manifested in ail com-
"

mands given ,to E. Mons and SON—whether these are for Attire,
to measure or ready made—tor Waterproof Clothing or the easiest
and most fashionable Sporting Dress—for Overcoats, Wrappers, or
Paletots—for Juvenile Clothing, in the newest styles—for Hosiery,
Hats and Caps, or Boots and Shoes—the superior quality and econo-
mical charges at E. Moses and Sox's is the greatest " City improve-
ment," for Ladles, Gentlemen, and Families.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.—Oct. 5.

(Before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant-Judge.)

James David Jeffries and John Naylor were indicted
for having stolen 1291b5. weight of lead, the property of
the Royal West India Mail Steam-packet Company, in
a vessel called the Parana, in the port of London.
Mr. Parry having detailed the facts of the case,
James Carter stated that he was in the employment
of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company, and was
ship-keeper on board the Parana, which had recently
arrived from the West Indies, and was now lying in the
export dock of the company for repairs. The prisoners
were known to him as lightermen. On the arrival of
the ship from her voyage there was a large quantity of
ashes on board. The prisoners had the conduct of a
barge to be laden with ashes and carried away. The
ship's company loaded the barge. On the 13th of
September, between one and two o'clock, when the
ship's company had all gone away, he saw the pri-
soner Naylor4bring a piece of lead out of the engine-
room. At this time the barge was lying alongside the
ship full of ashes. Naylor then went with the lead to
the side of the ship on which the barge was, and before
witness could get forward to him he let the piece of lead
fall from his hand. When he got to him he told him to
bring up what he had put into the barge. Naylor then
told Jeffries, who was in the barge, to give him up the
lead, which, by being covered with ashes, had been
concealed from view. Upon this, Jeffries pulled up the
lead, but witness let it remain there until the chief officer
of the Parana came on board. Naylor said he was
sorry for what he had done. A further search was
afterwards made of the barge by a man of the name of
Smith, when four other pieces of lead were found. He
had been in the engine room about one hour previously,
when he knew all the pieces of lead were safe.
John Smith corroborated the evidence as to finding
three other pieces of lead in the barge.
Thomas Hoy, police officer of the East and West
India Docks, said the prisoner Naylor was given into
his custody on the 13th
_September, when on being
told with what he was charged, he said, "It is a bad
job—l have done it, but Jeffries knows nothing
about it."

Mr. Sleigh and Mr. O'Brien having addressed the
jury for the prisoners, they returned a verdict of guilty
against Naylor, and not guilty as regarded Jefferies.
The Assistant-Judge sentenced him to hard labour for
nine months.

Elizabeth Goodman, of No. 13, Brydges-street, Coven t-
garden, was indicted, at the suit of the parochial autho-
rities of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, for keeping a dis-
orderly house. She was found guilty, and sentenced to
hard labour for six months.
