COMPARATIVE CIRCULATION OF
THE EVENING PAPERS.

The Standard, after three " days of grace," has
exercised a sound, though unusual discretion, in not
replying to our exposure of the tricks practised under
the distinctive die, to produce a false effect on the
public mind as to the circulation of the several Jour-
nals. This silence is as weighty an acknowledgment,
on the part of the Standard, as those bursts of per.
sonal invective in which it sometimes indulges, when
facts can no longer he controverted.
We shall merely add to this exposure of the tricks o f
the' die" a few circumstances, and then leave the public,
and particularly the advertising portion of it, to judge
for themselves which is the Evening Journal which
possesses the greatest circulation.

The joint amount of stamps issued to the Son and
True Sun, now united, according to the last go-
vernment return was
The Standard, according to the same return, was 496,500

Shoring an exceBs by the Sun of

The Globe, according to the same return ... 414,000

Shcwing an excess by the Sun of 108,500

The Courier, according to the same return, was 189,000

Shoving an excess by the Sun of 333,500

It will be seen, therefore, that according to this return
the united Sun and True Sun are considerably at the
head of all their Evening Contemporaries ; but.if other
circumstances be considered, such excess, large as it
is, is very far short of the excess arising from the pre-
sent circulation. It is well known that during the
sitting of Parliament The Sun publishes a Second
Edition every night, and by its Expresses, whenever
such Second Edition is important, often transmits it
more than 24 hours before the same intelligence is con-
veyed by other Journals. This exclusive ad.
vantage obtains fur The Sun during the sitting of
Parliament a vast accession of readers. Now
during the months of July, August, September, Oc-
tober, and November, which the return alone com-
prises, Parliament does not usually sit, and con-
sequently the return for those months is most advan-
tageous for our Contemporaries, who do not resort
to those expensive Expresses and regular Second
Editions, and the least advantageous to us. In
addition to which, the publicly advertised support of
the vast mass of Coffeehouse-keepers, and the new
features which we arc introducing of reporting the
whole of the private business of Parliament, and the
Country Markets, immediately after each takes place,
cannot fail to increase our circulation in the metropolis
among the professional Gentlemen of the three king.
(loins, and the great body of the Agricultural Interest.
Against tricks and clap-traps, therefore, we submit
these plain and simple facts, and confidently leave the
result to the judgment of the public.

LADY CHARLOTTE BURY'S NEW NOVEL may
well be called " Love," for almcst all the dramatis personm
arc in love. They arc involved in exquisite perplexities, be-
set with infinite perils, oppressed by grievous trials and disap-
pointments, but in the end love is triumphant ; and the reader
whose sympathies have been strongly called forth, and whose
sensibilities have been wrought upon by the fond, firm, and
enduring affection of Lady Herbert for her husband, in spite
of sins the most palpable and gratuitous on his side, and by
the sweet intelligence and beautiful devotion with which her
daughter clings to and comforts her, admits at the close that
he has rarely been introduced to a set of lovers, married or
single, whose company he was better pleased with, or to a set
of profligates, male or fl:rnale, whom he execrated with more
satisfaction.—Court Journal.

SK A ITING EXTRAORDINARY. Amongst the
skaiters who attracted the greatest degree of attention on the
Serpentine, on Sunday, were Messrs. Horace Twiss and Ben-
D'lsraeli. Mr. Tvriss excited peculiar admiration by
jthe rapidity of his retrograde movements. Mr. D'lsraelli had
scarcely ventured on the slippery surface when the ice broke,
and the Hon Gentleman was up to his neck in mud. Fortu-
nately he had essayed over shallow water, and the absence of
danger enabled the crowds upon both banks of the river to in-
dulge in loud and hearty laughter. " Nay, why smile ?" en-
quired Mr. D'lsraeli, as again dashing away just as if nothing
had occurred. Holmes and Ross, two of the men of the
Humane Society, exerted themselves with their accustomed
activity to rescue Mr. Twiss from a very perilous situa-
tiou.
They carried him to the receiving-house in Pall-
mall, where he partially recovered.
