THIRTY-THREE WEEKS.
For the first time since statements of the stamps issued to
the newspaper press have been published, we have to con-
plain of an incorrect return of the number issued to the
Albion. The official return does not give us any credit fir
the quantity taken out for our journal in the month of Au-
gust last, whereas we received from our agents. Alison.
Cowan and Co., of Edinburgh, 13,000 in that month alone.
How the number taken out for the Albion, in August, has
been omitted we know not: the moment, however, we UM it
the Times of Thursday, what we presumed to be a correct
copy of the return, we wrote a letter to Mr. Donne; the 111.
gister of warrants, whose name was subscribed to the doeu•
went, complaining of the omission in the return of the stamps
issued to the Albion, in the month of August, and desiring him
to inform us how the error had arisen. But we have not yet
received that officer's answer to our inquiry, as be would,
most likely, have to communicate with the Edinburgh Stamp.
office on the subject.
As we deemed it probable that our contemporaries of Sitar-
day would publish the part of the return respecting the Liver-
pool journals, we sent to each of them a note, stating, that
there was an error in the return as regarded the Albion, and
that the number of stamps received by us in the month of
August had been 13,000. The editor of the Journal, although
copying the official return as correct, did, at the same time,
notice that it was, according to our statement, incorrect is
"'or of Mail did

long, the present return tells the truth. One paper in tier-
pool, on the credit of that fudged return, advertised in all
quarters that its circulation was upwards of 2800 a-day ; bet
now it comes nearer to its level with one thousand per day
less !"
Now, Mr. Mail, not to characterise the last sentence- es
grossly false, nor to say that you know it to be so, see how a
plain statement will set you down. Here are the particulars
of the number of the Albion printed on each of the twenty-siz
weeks embraced in-the return,. as well as the number printed
on each week in the seven of the present quarter. Thole par-
ticulars we ale ready to verify on oath, if our word abodid,
and we flatter ourselves it will not, be disputed; and they
completely establish our statement as to the amount of OUT
average weekly circulation. We challenge the editor of the
Mail to give to the public similar particulars of his circulation'
during the same period, that they may have the means of
judging whether he has consumed, in the six months frost
April to September, the 80,000 stamps issued to him from the
Stamp-office. Let him give these particulars, fairly and
honestly, and then we shall see whether the actual circulation
of his paper agrees with the average circulation estimated
fr,wit the official return. Our contemporary will remem-
ber, that the first return, after the establishment of his paper,
gave him an average circulation of 1205 daily; the second
reduced the average to 1090; the third still further reduced
it to 686; while the last, taking in the whole six months, has
swelled it up again to 1025. Such vicissitudes of prosperity
and adversity, and then of prosperity again, are extremely
suspicious, and, were we inclined to be uncharitable, we might
say that they evidently point to a "manoeuvre" en the part •
of our contemporary.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER,—TuEspAi EVENING.

THE DEKBY.—The betting on this event seems to have
had to give way in a great measure to speculation in cours-
ing. We may observe, however, that Flambeau, Accelera-
tor, and Erin-go-Bragh have been most in demand. It is
not unlikely that a change or two will take place in the situa-
tions now held in the middle rank. _ _ .

friend at 27 to 1, while several endeavours to get on about
