paper, at Twopence Halfpenny.
The newspaper is the intellectual life of the nineteenth century.
Not to speak of the moral and political safeguards which it affords, it
place's all, whatever their varieties of position, on a level as to in-
formation. Only by its means is the small capitalist enabled to con-
tend successfully, against his wealthy rival for a knowledge of those
changes which affect prices. ' Without the daily newspaper a family
might as well be located in the back settlements of Canada as within
ten miles of the great centre of European civilisation. These facts
are felt—the gain is understood. It Is remarkable, then, that
moren,mo
than a century since there were eighteen papers published in odaily, or three times a week—while now there are othe nly
post and
fifteen !
though the population has trebled, and, by means of
other facilities, the whole kingdom has been brought within the easy
range, and under the direct influence, of the London press.. In the
city ofNew York more daily papers are published than in all England,
Scotland, and Ireland, put together. The circulation of papers in
Paris exceeds that of London twenty-fold. Of a fut. So etitrtling,
where lies the explanation?—Price 1
That the public know the advantage of haying a belly Paper, is
manifest from the thousands who pay 3d. for a paper the day after
publication.. What, then, are the causes which maintain the high
price? First, the amount of capital required to be invested in a
Newspaper speculation. Next, the various talent, knoWledge, and
experience which must combine to produce the result. The number
14 an greatness of the requirements have, in truth, occasioned some-
thi very like a monopoly—and monopoly always conunands its own
od
se ce in all other things, nothing has been attempted, in the direc-
tion indicated, for the political, social, and intellectual. wants of three
great nations; and a Daily Paper still remains a costly , luxury, ill
which only the wealthy can indulge.
The experiment is now about to be tried of establishing a London
Daily Newspaper, on the highest scale of completeness in all its de-
partments, *high' shall look for support; not to comparatively few
readers at a high price, but to many at a low price. Its success de-
pends upon the Public. i
THE DAILY NEWS,
From and after the Ist of June,
Will be published at
TWOPENCE lIALFPENNY.
The paper will be of the same size as all other journals were within
seven years ; it will be larger than many of the highioriced daily
journals are now ; and, in every particular of interest, it will con-
tain as much information as the most successful amongst its contem-
poraries. But it will be expansive : and double sheets will be given
whenever an important Debate, or a pressure of News or Advertise- 1
ments, seems to require it. • • • 1
The marking features of our scheme are, Ist. We give to the
reader, in what we hope will be au improved and more convenient
form, all thatibe can find in the most approved of our competitors;
enlarging always our surface to embrace whatever of unusual inte-
rest the times may present. The difference between them and us
will be only in that host of Advertisements, which we, too, will be
happy 'to give. in 'an amtioaai sheet, whenever the public shall
supply us with the occasion. 2ndly. To the reader,who now pays
Fivepence for his paper, we offer the same thing at half the price;
and to the man who hires his paper, a paper of his oven at about the
cost of the hire.' It, then, only remains for the public to justify the
experiment ; remembering that their interest in the issue is no less
than our own. Let him who would support us In the Resemble
attempt subscribe without delay.
Every news agent will, we hope, supply the paper at twopence-
halfpenny, where payment is made in advance; the same propor-
tionate allowance as with other papers —something more than
twenty-four per cent.—being allowed by the proprietors to the trade.
When credit is given, it is a matter of private arrangement, with
which the proprietors have nothing to do. As, hoWever, in an
undertaking so bold and so novel, it is advisable to guard -against
possible inconvenience, the proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS will
undertake to get all persons supplied who shall forward a post-office
order payable to Joseph Smith, Daily News Office, Whitefriars,
London.
For Three Months •
Or any longer period at the same rate.
Let all who. are interested in the success of this undertaking-and
who is not ?—be active, and success is certain.
THE DAILY NEWS will be published in time for the Morning
Mails.

THE SELF-ACCUSED SELF-ACCUSED THIEF AND
MURDERER.
-. .
At Hammersmith Police-court, on Monday, Henry Norman,
the man who recently accused himself of havingd
at comitted
numerous atrocities too great for belief, was placem the,bar
for examination, having been brought up from Liverpool,
where he was apprehended. The greatest curiosity was ma-
nifested to behold him, and the Court was consequently
crowded. The offence of which he was first accused was the
robbe of Mr. Hoof, builder, in whose service the prisoner
was as
ry
clerk when he absconded, about three weeks since,
with upwards of 501.
The prisoner was most respectably dressed. He is about
five feet six inches high, dark hair and eyes, pale thin face,
and took his station quite unconcerned at the serious situa-
tion in which he was placed.
A solicitor said he attended on the part of Mr. Hoof, to
przercutrinnl.his case. Ho then called

quite complete for the depositions to be taken ?
Inspector Havill said, Mr. Hoots case was fully complete,
but he had
.to apply that-the prisoner might be remanded, as
he had reasons to beL'f.lve that, if time were given, other
charges of a mat serious' cll.tracter would be brought for-

Mr. Clive asked the prisoner if he wished to say anything
• at that stage of the inquiry ?
! The prisoner said he had nothing at present to say on the
subject.
Mr. Clive then said, sufficient evidence had been taken to
warrant him in remanding the prisoner for a week.
The prisoner. was then removed from the bar, and accom-
▪ panied the gaoler with a smile playing on his countenance.

PRINTERS' PENSION SOCIETY.
The nineteenth anniversary festival of this society, than
which there is none more worthy, was held on Monday at the
Loudon Tavern ; the Right Hon. Lord Dudley C. Stuart in
the chair.
andT inhefiorbm printersjectoft abisner

of twelve guineas per annum to the men, and eight guineas
per annum to the women. The annual subscription to the
society is only five shillings, which gives a vote at all elec
tions, as does every extra five shillings an additional vote ;
two guineas paid at once giving a vote for life, and five
guineas three votes for life. The subscribers for the most
part belong to the printing business; and the regularity 'of
the payments of the journeymen show that they are provi-
dent and thrifty. The society appears to be in a prospe-
rous condition, having funded upwards of 4,0001., and
having on the books at present fifty-two male and female
annuitants.
The usual loyal and national toasts having been gone
through,
The CHAIRMAN proposed the healths of the oint-patrons,
his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Grace
the Duke of Northumberland, which Were received with
acclamation.
The Rev. M. LAIrG next proposed the " Worshipful Com-
pany-
of Stationers," who are large contributors to this
clay, to which toast
Mr. R. TAYLOR, as,a member of that body, responded. .
The CHAIRMAN rose to propose the toast to honour which
they had assembled, "Prosperity to the Printers' Pension
Society." He very much regretted that he had not sufficient
power of oratory to do justice to this toast, for it involved so
many important views and considerations that the most able
man could scarcely hope to do it justice. The firstgreat ob-
ject, however, was that of charity.—(Cheers.) That this
was a charity possessing the highest claims could not be
doubted when they looked'to its character and the condition
of those whom it was intended to serve. It was well known
that the life of a printer was that of certain deterioration 'of
health and shortness of the duration of existence. The very
atmosphere they breathed, the very metal they handled, the
alternations of heat and
,cold, the nightly duration of their
work, in fact everything connected with their business,
was tending' to the grave ; not only that, but at an
early period of life they were subject to the certain injury
of, to them, that all-import:o sense, sight, often to its
destruction. The vast importance of printing—who
could venture to embrace it? How could the world at
all go on without it?' What class of society was it not a.
necessary of life to? The merchant, the professional man,
the man of science, the artist ; the rich, the poor, the grave,
the gay, the young and the old, were all alike compelled to
have recourse to it. It was equally necessary for the dis-
seminator of the great lights of the Gospel, and of the most
trifling business advertisement.—(Cheers.) There w#s no
interest in society that it did not embrace, and it therefore
behoved all classes of society to support this institution.—
(Cheers.) He was proud of the honour of being called upon
to preside there that day, and however humble his exertions,
no man could feel more warmly for the interests of the so-
ciety than lie did, and with the same feeling he was sure they
would all receive the toast.—(Cheers.)
The toast having been received with universal applause,
The SEaRITARY read the report of subscriptions for the
evening, which amounted to a handsome sum, including 70
gtindas from the journeymen printers; the Chairman, 10
guineas ; Luke J. llansard, Esq., 501.; 11. Taylor Esq., 5
guineas; Mr. sergeant Talfourd, 5 guineas ; Gilbert A.
it'Beckett, Esq., 5 guineas, &c.
Mr. TAThort rose to propose the "Health of their excellent
Chairman," a noblemati Who was as much distinguished for
his literary attainments as for his amiable and benevolent
disposition ; known all over the world as the friend of
humanity, freedom, and charity.—(Cheers.) He (Mr..
Taylor) had an opportunity_ a few evenings ago of seeing
how their worthy Chairman was honoured by the presence
of the noblest, the best, and the most patriotic and able of
the land, who congregated to assist at the presentation of a
gift of gratitude to his Lordship for his benevolent and per-
severing exertions in the cause of the gallant, the oppressed
Poles.—(Great• cheering.) He felt the greatest pride in
having such a man, so esteemed and so honoured, presiding
over them that day, and the least return they could make to
'him was to drink his health with enthusiasm.
The toast was indeed received as recommended, with en-
thusiasm, and
The CHAIRMAN, in reply, said that he could add but little
to what he had already stated scene the value of the press.
He did feel great pride at the of which he was the
Taylor alluded. It
object on Saturday last, to which Mr.
was a pride grounded on the consciousness of having done a
sacred duty towards an oppressed people, whose; cause was
wound round his heart—(Cheers)--but surrounded as was
on that day by the noble, the wealthy, and the good, he diet
not feel more pride in that assemblage than he did in his
present position amongst a valuable class of industrious and
honest men.—(Cheers.) He recollected that while sitting
by the side of the chairman, Lord Morpeth, on Saturday, he
said to his Noble Friend, " Proud as I am of this splendid
banquet, and of those who attend it to do me honour, there
is a man I see there below that it gives me more pride and
pleasure to see than all. besides." Who is that ?" asked
Lord Morpeth. I replied, "My old friend, Richard Taylor."
—(Great cheering.) He thanked thenmost cordially for
the manner in which they had received his health; and, as
the subject of the Poles had been mentioned, there were
several of those unhappy gentlemen, of great genius, talents,
and industry, to employ whom would do credit to any
man.—(Cheers.) He believed his friend Mr. Taylor em-
ployed some in his establishment, and there was one of those
unfortunate exiles who had discovered a mode of applying
the co:nmon type to the use of the blind—a midst trompnr-
tant discovery. His Lordship sat down am
