LONDON MORNING NEWSPAPER, 
TWOPENCE HALFPENNY! 
EF Newspaper is the intellectual life of the Nineteenth Century—the great agent of modern civilisation. Not to speak of the moral and political safe- 
guards which it affords, it places all, whatever their varieties of fortune and position, on a level as to information. By its means only the small capitalist 
is enabled to contend successfully against his wealthy rival for a knowledge of those changes which affect supply and demand—and therefore prices, Without 
the daily Newspaper, a man and his family might be located as well in the back settlements of Canada as within ten miles of the great centre of E. ean 
Civilisation. These facts are felt —the gain is understood—and the number and character of the Newspaper press of any country are an admitted test of the 
enterprise and intelligence of the people. It is remarkable, then, that more than a century since, there were eighteen papers published in London, daily or 
three times a weck—while now there are only fifteen ! though the population of to-day bears a ratio to that of the period in question of more than 3 to 1; 
and, by means of the post and other facilities, the whole kingdom has been brought within the easy range, and under the direct influence, of the London 
press. In the single City of New York, more daily papers are published than in all England, Scotland, and Ireland, put together, The circulation of 
papers in Paris exceeds that of London twenty-fold. How is this 2 Of a fact so startling, where lies the explanation ; what is the cause ?—Pricz! 
That the public know the advantage of having a Daily Paper is manifest, from the thousands and tens of thousands who pay twopence for 
reading, and threepence for a paper the day after publication. What, then, are the causes which maintain the high price ? 
required to be invested in a Newspaper speculation—with whose extent and proper application the man of business and the capitalist are for the most part 
unacquainted. Next, the various talent, knowledge, and experience which must combine to produce the result. The number and greatness of the require- 
ments have, in truth, occasioned something very like a monopoly—and monopoly always commands its own price. "Thus, whilst energy, enterprise, capital, 
and competition have been doing good service in all other things, including literature in various branches, nothing has been attempted, in the direction indicated, 
for the political, social, and intellectual wants of three great nations; and a Daily Pa

First, the amount of capital 
per still remains a costly luxury, in which only the wealthy can indulge. 
THEIR OLD PRICE HAS BEEN MADE IN MIE MOST DISTINGUISHED JOURNALS, 
ANY SUCH ATTEMPT IN LONDON DOES NOT SEEM TO HAVE BEEN THOUGHT OT. 
The experiment is now about to be tried of establishing a London Daily Newspaper, on the 
highest scale of completeness in ali its departments, which shall locok for support, not to 
comparatively few readers at a high price, but to many at a low price. 
Its success depends upon the Public. In the first instance, however, it was necessary to prove that the projectors are capable of competing with the 
high priced—that in energy and ability they are able tu perfor all that is required; and of this the Public have now had sufficient experience. 
THE DAILY NE WS-appeared in January last, and no one has hinted a suspicion that it is inferior to its contemporaries in any respect. The time has 
now come wherthe proprietors are prepared to develope their plans; whatever has hitherto attracted public favour to their enterprise, 
and extended, and, working in the spirit of the age, they will publish, 
. On the First of June, 
THE DAILY NEWS 
At Twopence Halfpenny, 
The Paper will be of the same size as all other journals were within seven years; it will be larger than many of the high-priced daily journals are 
now ; and, in every particular of interest, it will contaiu'ás much information as the most successful amongst its contemporaries, 
and double sheets will be given whenever an important Debate, a pressure of News, or Advertisements, seems to require it, 
will be continued 
But it will be expansive ; 
THE DAILY NEWS, therefore, will contain everything that is to be found in other journals 5 and all accounts 
of Markets—all trade information—will be so arranged that the merchant and man of business shall find what he 
wants always, as nearly as possible, in the same place, and in the fewest possible words. The modern newspaper has not 
been devised and planned as judgment might have originally directed, but has grown up under circumstances which it could not control; and the 
establishment of a new paper affords the opportunity for a revision, which shall effect a saving of the reader's time, and present the information which he 
seeks in a more systematic form, 
The Daily News will be published in Time for the Morning Mails. 
LET US REPEAT THE MARKING FEATURES OF OUR SCHEME. Ist. 
We give to the reader, in what we hope will be an improved and more convenient 
form, all that he can find in the most approved of our competitors; e 
nlarging always our surface to embrace whatever of unusual interest the times may 
present. The difference between them and us will be only in that host of Advertisements, which we too will be happy to give in an additional sheet when- 
ever the public shall supply us with the occasion. 2ndly. To the reader who now pays Fivepence for his paper, we offer the same thing at half the price ; 
and to the man who hires his paper, a paper of his own at about the cost of the hire. It, then, only remains for the public to justify the experiment 5 
remembering that their interest in the issue is no less than our own. 
Let him who would support us in this seasonable attempt, subscribe at once. Where even the reduced price is beyond his means, let him at once join 
with a friend or neighbour in subscription. If, again, these friends can arrange with others in the country to receive the paper, by post, on the day of 
publication, at half price, the cost to each, of the New Daily Paper, will be little more than one halfpenny. 
Every News Agent, will, we hope, supply the paper at Twopence-halfpenny, where payment is made in advance ; the same proportionate allowance 
as with other papers—something more than twenty-four per cent.—being allowed by the proprietors to the trade. When credit is given, it is a matter of 
private arrangement, with which the proprietors have nothing to do. As, however, in an undertaking so bold and so novel it is advisable to guard against 
possible inconvenience, the proprietors of THE DAILY NEWS will undertake to get all persons supplied who shall forward a post-office order 
payable to Josera Surru, Darty News Orrice, Whitefriars, London. 
For THREE MONTHS . . . 16s. 4d. 
Let all who are interested in the success of this undertaking—and who is not?—be active, and success is certain.
