WILLIAM BLACKW,

TO THE PROTESTANT CHURCHMEN OF THE EMPIRE.
UNPRECEDENTED NEWSPAPER LIBERALITY.—THE
WHOLE PROFITS BEING DIVISIBLE AMONGST
THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS.
HE C O U R I E R,
T a London General Weekly Newspaper of Politics, Com-
merce, Agriculture, Law, Literature, and the Fine Arts.
Anxious only for the promulgation of the great principles of
good government in Church and State, to advocate which this
journal is started, the Proprietors have put forth a plan by
which, with the co-operation of two thousand interested parties,
they trust to extend its sale throughout the B
sir En~pire—
Home, Colonial, and India. Their object , of the receipt of
profits to themselves, but the wide-spring influence of their
principles. To attain this their chi jest, the plan now sub-
mitted to the public has been a ed, and with every prospect
of the most triumphant resul . he profits of well-conducted
weekly journals are enorni s. That of the Dispatch is said to
be £36,000 per annum • dof the Illustrated News, £20,0000;
the former of which ofits would give £lB and the latter £lO
per annum to each of the two thousand subscribers. And as
THE COURIER will be conducted with talent unsurpassed
by that employed on any journal in the Metropolis, it will be
seen that the subscriber must gain, as he will have a first-rate
weekly paper for his money, besides the bonus be will be enti-
tled to, which may, in course of time, reach if not surpass the
profits of either of the papers named; whilst no subscriber
will be bound beyond the amount of his quarterly subscription,
should be feel inclined to retire.
OUR MISSION.
The Church,—We shall uphold the Established Protestant
Episcopalian Church, but shall demand its reform in the abo-
lishment of pluralities and sinecures—the equalization of
clerical incomes, the reform of Cathedral Institutions, and the
extinction of the Ecclesiastical Court. We shall also present
an uncompromising front to Popery, whether in the shape of
Puseyism, Romanism. or Sham Liberalism.
India and the Colonies,—We shall require that these portions
of the British Dominions be recognized as integral portions of
the Empire, have free commerce with us, and representatives
in the House of Commons.
The Excise,—We shall argue the removal of all the needless
and vexatious restrictions at presentimposed, and shall heartily
co-operate with the Anti-Excise Association of Scotland in
their movement towards the accomplishment of this end.
Politics,—Thorough independence. Measures, not men—
our motto.
As a general newspaper, THE COURIER will equal any in
the Metropolis—containing an unrivalled summary of all the
news of the week, Political, Commercial, Agricultural, Clerical,
Legal, Naval, Military, Literary, Dramatic, and Sporting, and
no pains will be spared to place it in the front ranks of the
British Press.
Quarterly Subscciptions, 6s. 6d., payable in advance, by Post-
lefi er, to PETER SIMMONDS, Esq., 6, Barge-yard, Buck-
rsbury, London. Immediatena,
application is absolutely re-
quisite to prevent disappointment.
No Liability whatever is attached to Subscribers.
