SAME SIZE AND FORM AS AT PRESENT, WITHOUT

By Its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch devotion to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses, and a powerful atmillarT ou behalf of the
oPnressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
i3XpOSure.
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 , litad thus accommodate four readersNEWSPAPERS at one and the same time.
The columns of the DISPATCH will still continue to be enriched
by the powerful contributions of
PUBLICOLA," " CAUSTIC," " CENSORIUS," ELIZA COOK,
and other writers eminently distinguished for their literary attain-
Meats, and whose opinions have ever 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.

Ments on or before Friday Afternoon, otherwise no attention can be
