TO THE PROTESTANT CHURCHMEN OF THE EMPIRE,

UNPRECEDENTED NEWSPAPER LIBERALITY.-THE
WHOLE PROFITS BEING DIVISIBLE AMONGST
THE FIRST TWO THOUSAND SUBSCRIBERS.
TH C U R I E. R,
a London General Weekly Newspaper of Politics, Com-
'tierce, Agriculture, Law, Literature, and the Fine Arts.
Anxious only for the promulgation of the great principles of
rood 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 British Empire—
elorne, Colonial, and India. Their object is,•not the receipt of
Drofits to themselves, but the wide-spreading influence of their
Principles. To attain this their chief object, the plan now sub-
Mitted to the public has been adopted, and with every prospect
of the most triumphant results. The profits of well-conducted
Weekly journals are enormous. That of the Dispatch is said to
be 436,000 per annum; and of the Illustrated News, £20,0000;
the former of which profits would give 8 and the latter .elO
r annum to each of the two thousand subscribers. And as
ME COURIER will be conducted with talent unsurpassed
n' that employed on any journal in the Metropolis, it will be
.een that the subscriber must gain, as he will have a first-rate
;!eekly paper for his money, besides the bonus lie will be tied to to, which may, in course of time, reach if not surpass the
Profits of either of the papers named ; whilst no subscriber
kill be hound beyond the amount of his quarterly subscription,
tbould he feel inclined to retire.
