WEEOF THE
KLY DISPATCH
This Journal at present the largest in existence—un-
rivalled for its early intelligence and uneompromising advocacy of
the Rights of Mankind—will be
ENLARGED,
On and after EitfiTDAY, the 7th of JANUARY, 1849, to
SIXTEEN PAGES,
CONTAINING
SIXTY-FOUR COLUMNS,
OF THE
SAME SUP, AND FORM AS AT PRESENT, WITHOUT
ANY EXTRA CHARGE
ty its zeal in the cause of progress, and its staunch devothm to
the interests of the People, the DISPATCH has become a terror to
the upholder of abuses, and a powerfal auxiliary on behalf of the
oPPressed, whose wrongs will always meet with sympathy and
Zposure.
Encouraged by their success, and anxious to extend the sphere of
their Political Influence and Social Utility, the Proprietors hare re-
solved on the proposed Enlargement of the DISPATCH, which here-
after will answer the purpose of

FOUR NE WSPAPERS,
*ad thus accommodate four readers 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-
ments, 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
arid assistance, as heretofore, from the DISPATCH.
A beautiful New Type has been cast, on which the DISPATCH
ill next year be printed.

Various inquiries having of late been made as to whether this
Society is in the practice of allowing commission to solicitors and
others who may be the means of procuring business, the Directors
take this opportunity of expressing their disapprovalof the system,
and of intimating that except to the recognised and duly appointed
local agents of the Society, no allowance of the kind is ever made,
the effect of any such misapplication of the funds of a Mutual As-
surance Society being to withdraw from its members a portion of
the profits which ought to be reserved for their benefit, and for
their benefit alone.

formation obtained at the Read Office, or at any of the Society's
