BL IC ANNOTTWCEMINT
From the " Htill Advdti- er" of FRIDAY, Mitikri..lB4B.
oe have this week to aniounce an entire change in o Froprie-
tWsnlP of the " Hull Advertiser." Mr. William Bettison, the last
a spirited Reform Proprietary, dating from the era of the Re-
form Bill, ceased to have any pecuniary interest in thit Journal
iZto thefirst day of March instant. This event, usually;so important in
social and political life of a community, involves in the future
conducting of this Paper no change of persons • ' no modification of
12,0 Ural Principles ; no fresh combination of party associations.
The
late Proprietor had nothing more at heart than that the " Hull
Advertiser " should always he found the faithful and fearless :Wyo.
rle of liberal opinions; and the hands to which he has entrusted it
es never penned a sentence which a Fox, a Gre3, a Romilly, a
l
_!tekintoili, or a Cobden could have objected to as favouring mono- ;
Poly in trade, inhumanity in law, bigotry in religion, or corruption
Lo.Parliaroent. He who was the Editor for the last six years, and
7!,0, during the whole of that time, was guided in his treatment of I
If
_Public questions by the free and undisputed exercise of his own
Ifettered judgment, is still Editor, and one of the two Proprietors
wheat the Paper now belongs. The other has for some years
conducted, the pecuniary business of the office, and will continue to
confine himself to what the Chancellor of the Exchequer would call
the WaYs and Means " department—an important one in a news-
paper office as well as in a Royal Cabinet. To the general reader,
therefore there will be little at first besides the imprint to remind
11m of a change which has been iorced on the late Proprietor by
Citenecessity of extending his regular trade as a brewer. The most I
'.,_factory way of placing this before the public will be to quote
Ile following letter from Mr. Betti•on to the Editor :
" 18, Charlotte-street, Hull, March 21, 1848.
"My Bear Sir,—lt will gratify a very natural degree of public
cariosity, and relieve me from more personal questionings than I
have time to attend to, if you can make it convenient to announce
this week that lam no longer proprietor of the • Hull Advertiser,'
and that the sole proprietorship of the paper is now vested in your-
self and Mr. Marling.
" When, marry years ago, I became one of several proprietors,
and in 1844, the sole proprietor of the • Hull Advertiser,' I made up
My mind never to part with it, unless to some one as strongly devo-
ted to the support of true Reform principles as I was myself. The
Management of newspaper property was far from being as congenial
to my habits as the business of a brewer, which I inherited frill my
father ; but I looked upon the Advertiser' as a public trust, which
I felt bound only to deliver to one capable of carrying out the ob-
jects for which it was first purchased for the Reform party. For six
Years Yon have been its uncontrolled, irresponsible Editor. By the
fearless and able exercise of your talents and your industry, you
.have obtained for it a larger circulation, and a more commanding
Lwanonce than it ever possessed before ; and such is my unbounded
confidence in your personal and political integrity, that I believe
that I cannot perform a greater service to the Liberal cause than by
committing the chief organ of the Liberal party in the East Riding
of Yorkshire permanently to your management and direction. You
have made the paper a good property, and one with which I should
ue very 'loath now to part, but that there is a necessity for very
greatly extending my brewing business. My son Samuel, as you
know, has become my partner in that business, and it requirn that
all our energies should be employed in carrying it on with spirit.
This is an age of competition, in which to do one thing well is enough
for one establishment.
" In Mr. Marling you have a trustworthy colleague, and a safe
nun of business. During his management of the affairs of the Ad-
'realm office he possessed, and proved himself deserving of pos-
sessing, all my confidence. You know his worth, and how to appre-
ciate it at its true value. •
'

"And now, my dear Sir, in severing my connexion as proprietor
With the' Hull Advertiser,' it is my earnest wish, as it is that of
all my family, that the friendly and affectionate intercourse which
has subsisted between us, without an hour's interruption, since the
day of yoarßrst appearance in Hull, may be continued on the old
?noting You can hardly represent yourself as less free from all poli-
tical hilkence, on my part, than you ever were. Let us then retain
the old' intimacy so gratifying to us all. Yourself and Mr. Marling
have the sincerest wishes of wty heart for your joint success in an
undertaking,, in which it would be hard to find two men mere compe.
tent foi their respective parts. Indeed, I know 'that your labours
Must be crowned with success, if merit meets with its due reward.
am, my dear Sir,
" Yours very affectionately,
" WILLIAM BETTISON.

" E. F. Collins, Esq."

This letter is all that we could wish—all that the public can rea-
sonably desire in the way of explanwion of a entinge, which will not
be felt either in the political tone or in the general management of
the "dull Advertiser." The new Proprietors have few professions
Lo make, and are content to rest their success on the extent and fide-
y oftheir endeavours to deserve it. One promise the editor may
make to the people. The " Hull Advertiser" will never, under his
management, be the tool of any party, or the organ of any clique or
faction —political or religious. It wilt never be found supporting
corrupt and ambitious men at the expense of great and enlightened
principles ; nor attacking the foundations of law and order to court
an ephemeral popularity. Not that we wish the shadow of doubt to
be felt as to our political principles. We are Liberals in the most
general interpretation of that term. We are the advocates of Free-
Trade—Church • Reform—Law Reform—the supporters of an ex-
tended Electoral Franchise—of the abolition of the Navigation-
Laws—the University Tests—the mockery of Official Swearing—
Capital Punishments—and for the substitution of Peace for Military
principles in the 'government and control of all the nations of the
earth. We •
and are strongly in favour of a system of National Educa-
tion,ittri4 look upon the schoolmaster as the great regenerator of our
1/4 system.
It will be our peculiar study and our greatest pleasure to co-ope-
rate With every movement having for its object the improvement of
the social and physical condition of the peoplejournal among whom this
t,. more especially circulates. Local reforms are, after all, the
lings which should chiefly occupy the constant attention of a pro-
vincial press. And here we hope to be well supported by our con-
temporaries of every shape of opinion. We have no jealousy of rival
newspapers, and do not propose to ourselves the employment of any
Means to diminish their profits, or curtail their circulation. We can
!peak of the success which has attended our own labours without
directly or indirectly implying a want of success on the part of our
contealporaries. The great mission of a free press is not fulfilled by
the traduction of rival journals, or the vituperative railings and
counter-railings of the organs of adverse opinions. The press, as a
great intellectual instil owes a respect to itself inconsistent
With those coarse bicke h are never popular but in a semi-
barbarous state of society.
We trust to be pardoned fbr observing that henceforth all our in-
terests are mixed up with the prosperity of Hull. In assuming the
Proprietorship of this paper, we have aimed as much at making our
residence in Yorkshire a permanent one, as in obtaining an organ
Wherewith to effect some social and political good in our generation.
We are happy to say that it would require no increase of our present
circulation to make the engagement upon which we have entered a
Profitable one. To stand still would be to obtain a remunerative
share of success. But, with the blessing of God, we are not destined
to enter uperi what, in this ever-advancing world, should be con-
sidered as a retrograde course. We have arrangements in contem-
plation, which, when completed, will place us In an advanced posi-
tion as regards our most enterprising provincial contemporaries.
Wherever lurking genius is to be found, it will be our peculiar care
to draw it forth, and to enrich the world with its hidden treasures.
There is a great abundance of unemployed intellectual
wealth in Hull, for which we hope some day to find profitable in-
vestment. There is also a vast amount of moral and social evil to
be remedied, not entirely beyond the reach of newspaper influence.
In the way of sanitary reform there is more to be done than would
suffice to constitute the twolve labours of Hercules. With these
views, and with an earnest determination to do all in our power to
redress the real grievan-es of every class and party of our fellow-
townsmen, we enter upon the more extended sphere of our public
duties. We ask from all cxtcns ye support, and generous sympathy
find encouragement.
