WILLIAM BARNARD, Keeper.

THE MONMOUTHSHIRE MERLIN, pub-
lished every SATURDAY Morning in Newport, and eaten-
Bively circulated through Monmouthshire and the neighbouring
English and Welsh Counties.
The Politics of The MERLIN are liberal—not violent free—
not licentious : it scorns the trammels of party, and seeks, by the
best of its ability, to promulgate to the community a true know-
ledge of their rights, their duties, and their interests, without de-
tracting, it is humbly hoped, from that dignified character which
the Press should ever support :
" Nil falsi audeat—nil yeti non audeat dicere."
Newport, the destined emporium of South Wales, it is needless
to state, is now regarded as an important seaport of the United
Empire. It is intimately connected with the great Mining Dis-
tricts that surround it: from its resources those districts obtain
their most valuable supplies. Its import and export trade is consi-
derable, and of daily increase.
To Advertisers it is almost needless to state, that a journal pub-
lished in such a town, and circulating, as The Merlin does,
amongst the most enlightened, affluent, and influential classes of
Newport, its vicinity, and the County in general, holds out advan-
tages to those desirous of communicating with the public of an im-
portant nature.
The extent of its circulation will be best ascertained‘by the fol-
lowing extract from a return of newspaper stamps issued to the
18 following newspapers from the Ist April to the 30th September,
38. From this it will be perceived that, with the exception of
the Gloucester Journal and the Hereford Journal, two of the
oldest-established papers in that part of England adjoining Mon-
mouthshire, the Merlin is, in point of circulation, at the head of
the press of the adjoining English and Welsh counties :
