ADvssrsMns.-In this days pepper, We insert seve-
rsi advertisements which We received for publication
when we were in London and Psrs.
During our visit to both these capitals, we had
many applications for advertising, and received m
amount equal, probably 10 about ESQ sterling, cash
in advance. Indeed such the knowledge possessed
in Europe of the wide circulation aud popularity Of
the Herald, that newspaper advertising Agency in
Lombard street. London, volunteered to transact
such business for in that capital, by collecting and
transmitting advertisements with The money, deduct
ing the came commissions which they charge the
London papers This is the mode by which the "Lon-
don Times gets so many advertisements Agents
general or special-c0lecl these advertisements and
send them there for insertion. The establishment
of Atlantic steam lines has caused advertisers in
England and France, to look out for proper channel
here. The remarkable circulation and popularity of
The Herald in Europe-for saw and heard of it in
every quartereven in the remote slens OF Scotland
have caused this increase Of advertising from that
quarter.
The advertisements publish today, are of various
kinds-one by fashionable tailor in Loadon-ano-
Their by fashionable boarding house keeper in tho
Rue R.roli, Pans-and third by popular vender
Of new medicine, l53 Fleet street, London. We

Users, in their several lines Of occupation.
Verify, verify, we shall make greater revolution
IN the management, business, advertising, and infiu
