and controlled, of course, by the demands for our
ARTICLES. From present appearances, there seems
no probability of any sudden diminution of the
trade, because the immense nde Of emigration,
and the desire forc~ nIorts and luxuries in Cali
fornia, are the increase. II may be that our ex-
ports will continue to increase for considerable
period, and that the attention of business men will
be directed hereafter with special regard to the
actual wants of the new Stste-the neglect OF
which, in some individual instances, has resulted
in disappointment, and even in losses
1t will be seen by the annexed alphabetical list
of exports for the last two months, that the in'
crease has been, on the average, very considera-
BILE, and that the wants of the Californians are
calling out exports which were little thought of
in the first excitement of this great commercial
agitation. Pork and printing presses ere equally
in demand-food for the body and the mind. In
fact, Judging from the whole poin De rte furnish
ed by this list OF EXPORTS have reason to believe
that the Californians are determined to sustain all
the habits tastes, feelings, enterprise, and all the
concomltants of civilization, In their love for pork,
beans, Connecticut brooms, and sarsaparilla.
The ADVERTISING OF THE CORPORATION OF
the topics which were partially discussed at the
last meeting of the Corporation, on Monday night
a report of which will be found in our columns,
elsewhere, was the proper mode of advertising the
notices proceeding from that body, In certain daily
Journals therein mentioned. 1t seems that the
pecial committee, consisting of Messrs. Sands,
Alvord and Dean, have made report, recommends
ing the employment for that special service, OF the
New York Sun, Tribune, Express, Post, and Com
mereiai advertiser. 1t also agreed upon that the
Sun should receive two thousand dollars and the
others one thousand dolarsper annum. The CON-
mittee also undertakes to make some remarks on
the circulation and character Of the newspapers,
both of those designated and those rejected.
We cannot help characterzmg the sentiments
and conclusions of the report false, impertlnent
and ridiculous. The circulation of the New.York
Sun Is stated to be ffty-sx thousand, and that Is
Its aggregate circulation. But the committee, 1t
seems, are utterly ignorant of, or conceal the ag
gregate circulation of certain other leading Jour-
nails, such as the New York Herald and the Irt-
bune. Both the Herald and the Tribune are far
beyond that number. The Herald runs up to nearly
seventy-fve thousand in the aggregate OF all edl-
tions, and the Tribune nearly sixty thousand
Besides, it is well known, that one-thlrd OF the
circulation of the Sum- if not more IN this city, Is
among the negroes, seamstresses and poor women,
who have no interest in matters connected with
the Corporation. On the contrary, the New York
Herald has greater circulation among the active
and most respectable people in this city, than any
other journal here, or elsewhere in the United
States. We must admit that the Tribune Is the
next in circulation, although this is principally con-
fined to certain clique of ultra politicians, while
the Herald circuates among all classes people,
Of every shade and color of opinion, frona the
highest to the lowest. AS to the respectabiity OF
our circulation, we need only mention the fact
that the Herald crculates In the Fifteenth ward
nearly three times as much as any other news
paper in New York.
We care nothing what the Corporation may do
in relation to the advertisements issuing from that
body. The great business Of this city offers us
ample patronage. But, if there be spirit Of inde-
pendence and justice in the two boards they should
select the Ne,o York Herald, Tribune, and Sun,
and give each of them two or three thousand dol
lars apiece for the publication of their notices, in
stead Of otherwise throwing away their money on
@ lna MIh9Hi sFssIeQnk evening E edition
Of the Herald alone is more than that Of the Post
and Advertiser united. BY way Of experiment, we
might be disposed to publish their advertisements
for two thousand dollars year, provided they ac-
cept the proposition at once. IL the Corporation
adopt any other method of performing their busl-
ness, they will regret it before the year has termi-
mated. We shall also inquire into the shocking
manner in which the printing Of their general docu-
ments Is performed.
