the interests
zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch do-otion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuts, and a powernil auxiliary on behalf of the
Oppressed, whom wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
exposure.

Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors have re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of

FOUR NEWSPAPERS,
and thus accommodate four readers at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATCH will still continuo to be enriched
by the powerffil contributions of
" PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
ments, and whose opinions •have over advocated the cause of the
People, in opposition to tyranny and injustice. It may also be ob-
served, that the POOR MAN will always receive LEGAL ADVICE
and assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
Will next year be printed.
Advertisers are respectfully requested to forward their Advertise-
ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention eau be
Paid to them for the current number.

In Edition of the DISPATCH is published at Five o'Clock every
Saturday morning, for transmission by the First Train and Morning
Mails, se that persons residing in towns $5O miles from London may
receive it the same evening.
An EXPRESS EDITION of the DISPATCH is published every
SUNDAY AFTERNOON, containing news direct from Paris,
sad other parts of the Continent, up to eight o'clock on Saturday
Evening.

RICHARD WOOD, 139, Fleet-street, London, to whom Post-office
Orders may be made payable, or to any of the Newsvenders, In town
and country.
