MORNING POST: LONDON DAILY
NEWSPAPER.—In consequence of the Rer eal' of
the Advertisement Duty, the MORNING POST charges
will be on the following reduced and reasonable scale:— _

Tradesmen's Advertisements, 5 lines and under
Every additional line
Servants' Advertisements, 4
A corresponding reduction is made in all other classes of
Advertisements.
For a series of Advertisements for the Year, Half-year, or
'Quarter, contracts may be made on a moderate reduction of
'the scale price.
As a MEDIUM for ADVERTISEMENTS. the Morning Post
offers the greatest advantages for the speedy and extensive
Publicity of all announcements addressed to the trilluent and
purchasing portion of the community, especially the nobility,
gentry, and monetary interests of the country.
The circulation of this long-established Journal embraces
the most influential chaster of society—the Political, the Aris-
tocratic, and the Commercial.
A consistent Advocate of Conservative progress and Con-
stitutional Liberty—whilst it maintains strongly Estahlished
Principles in Church and State—it constantly seas out error,
and promotes its reformation.
It contains the FULLEST and . LATE'S I.' intelligence of
every des. ription, whether POLITTCAL, COMMERCIAL,CLERI-
CAL, LEGAL, or FASHIONABLE, with all News relating to
ARTS, SCIENCES, and LITERATURE.
Experience has shown that the Morning Post possesses, by
far the most reliable information on every important political
subject of the day. In its FORIDION INTELLIGENCF, espe-
cially, it has been distinzuislied by Teinarhable rapidity, and
by the accuracy of its information, derived from the best

satisfied, meet with the concurrence of all
who are familiar with the locality, and are not in-
terested in the furtherance of any particular scheme.
If Dale-street presented an elevation on the one
side of the intermediate hollow equal or nearly so
to that of Shaw's-brow, the erection of a bridge
to connect the two might be entitled to some con-
sideration. The ease is, however, far otherwise,
as the declivity from Dale-street is very slight ;
and all that is really required is the raising of the
intermediate ground, so as to ease the slope to the
end of Islington. To accomplish this effectually,
the street should be considerably widened, which
would necessitate the demolition of the existing
houses, a measure which is much needed ; and, as
the new houses might be erected in accordance
with the higher level of the street, both objects
might be effected at less cost than the erection of
the proposed bridge without its accessories. The
property around is of a very dilapidated character,
and would therefore be less costly in its renova-
tion ; and if the slope were to commence from the
part of Dale-street where the old shops obtrude
upon the width of the thoroughfare, and were
carried by easy gradation to the highest point at
the north-end of St. George's Hall, the difficulty
which is at present alleged to exist would be over-
come, and every proposed advantage obtained.
The suggestion of Mr. STEWART for a wide street
from a point nearly opposite the old Gas-works to
the south-end of St. George's Hall, is also deserv-
ing of attention ; and has this advantage, that it
might be carried out with very 'little difficulty,
inasmuch as the street is already formed, and
requires but a few alterations to render it fully
available for the purpose. There is also the
proposed new building for the Free Library,
alluded to in another article, which might occupy
a very appropriate position between the two.;
and, as one of, the objects of improvement in
this quarter is to break up some of the vicious
haunts in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, this
part of the design would not be lost sight of. As
the subject has still to undergo the consideration
of the Improvement Committee, we trust that
these suggestions will be taken Into account, and
that before any decision is arrived at the whole
will be submitted to the legitimate canvas of pub-
lic opinion. We may then expect to see Liverpool
become what it ought to be—healthy for its in-
habitants, convenient for its traffic, and beautiful
to excite the admiration of strangers.

TUESDAY

MORNING, SEPT. 27, 1853

A cHoRD has been struck which is sure to re-
ceive a response—an example has been set which
we cannot doubt will be worthily followed—and so
noble a step has been taken in order to the carry-
ing out of a good work, that its success has been
'ensured. The whole of the praise is due to Mr.
WILLIAM Bnow/c, M.P. for the Southern Division
of the County, who, acknowledging the debt of
gratitude which, in common with many others, he
owes to Liverpool, has given a tangible proof of it
in the munificent donation of £6,000 towards pro-
viding a suitable building for the Liverpool Free
Literary. Enterprise, mercantile skill, and in-
tegrity have marked the career of Mr. BRowN,
and resulted in a colossal fortune, of which he proves
himself so worthy a possessor as to devote the
large portion we have mentioned to the mental
improvement of his fellow-townsmen. But his
gift is of greater value than its amount in money,
because it cannot fail to stimulate others to follow
the example, and will thus secure to Liverpool a
Free Library worthy of its dignified position as
the Commercial Capital of the World. It is an act
which needs no eulogy, for it will write its OWN
praise in imperishable characters ; and when future
Liverpool shall boast that, amidst the magnitude
of her commercial pursuits, she has not neglected
the humanising influences of literature and the
arta, the name of WILLIAM BRowN will be identi-
fied with the work as the one among her princely
merchants who took the initiative, and by his mu-
nificent liberality proved himself worthy of his
high position. The manner in which the Free
Library established in Duke-street has been made
available by the classes for whom it was designed,
has more than realised the most sanguine antici-
pations of its founders, and rendered necessary the
movement which has now been so nobly com-
menced for securing it a more central location, and
a building sufficiently commodious to render it
fully available, No petty economy can now be
permitted to mar the complete accomplishment of
the design, for such a splendid beginning of itself
the surest way to lead to a successful termination.
As the choice of a site for the proposed new
building has already formed a subject of discus-
sion, it may be considered fairly open to public

Lord JOHN RUSSELL 'reading his recantation of
the finality of the Reform Act, by announcing
another series of changes in the system of repre-
sentation. The lull in the political world is not to
be devoted to a calm consideration of such minor
reforms as may prove the .most really beneficial,
because they do not afford sufficient excitement to
conceal the manifold. Ministerial defects which
English intelligence will only be too quick to dis..
cover. The Coalition is founded on no solid basis ;
it has no-principle upon which to appeal to popular
sympathy, and must therefore descend to the
vilest species of agitation, in order to hide its de-
' formities by the turmoil. The lower orders of
society are to be once more roused into the action
of political controversy, their passions excited, and
hopes inspired which can never be realised : and
all for the paltry object of retaining in office a
combination of the dregs of faction, and the advo-
cates of every wild and impossible theory of legis-
lation. The Reform Act of 1832 was a step in the
downward direction, by throwing all political
power into the hands of ten-pound householders in
the towns of England, and the dupes of Romanist
intolerance in Ireland ; but the Reform Bill of
1854, if it is to do anything, must go still lower,
and virtually surrender the Sovereignty of Great
Britain into the hands of the classes least fitted, by
intelligence, by experience, by education, by pro-
perty, and by amount of stake in the country, to
exercise it with advantage either to themselves or
to the community. It can be no simple question
of the temporary ascendancy of party, which seems
to have been the object of political warfare for the
