DAILY ADVERTISER.

Established March 1, 1814.

Published every Morning, except Sundays. Terms, Eight Dollars per annum, in advance. Containing THE LATEST NEWS, FOREIGN and DOMESTIC; TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES; PUBLIC DOCUMENTS OF INTEREST, IN FULL; LEGISLATIVE, LEGAL, and LOCAL REPORTS; LITERARY, DRAMATIC, and MUSICAL REVIEWS; CRITIQUES on the FINE ARTS; MISCELLANEOUS READING; and especially MARINE, COMMERCIAL, and FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE, — prepared by skilful and experienced hands in every department.

NATHAN HALE, CHARLES HALE, AND CHARLES F. DUNBAR, EDITORS.

CHARLES HALE, PUBLISHER.

The matter in this paper is so arranged that the latest news can always be presented in full, without curtailing the space devoted to other departments

THE FOREIGN NEWS IS CAREFULLY PREPARED FROM FULL FILES OF ORIGINAL PAPERS RECEIVED BY EACH STEAMER.

The BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER is an independent journal, and will continue to be so maintained. It never enjoyed any pecuniary advantages as the organ of any party committee; and the proprietors are proud to say, that they have accepted no presents, and are under no obligations for forced subscriptions, or the subsidies of partisan retainers, ready to maintain by extraordinary efforts an organ for the dissemination of opinions which would not receive the spontaneous support of the community at large.

Our advertising friends will be pleased to learn that our circulation constantly and steadily increases, notwithstanding adverse circumstances; and this is the case although we have been taking great care to rid our books of all unprofitable subscriptions, which are as worthless to advertisers as to ourselves. We know very well, that, in point of mere numbers, our circulation is exceeded by that of some other journals which are published for a less price; but, in the character and substantial worth of the CIRCULATION for advertising purposes, we believe ours to be UNSURPASSED; and this we know to be a fact, ascertained from actual experience by several of the leading houses in the principal branches of business of all kinds, both wholesale and retail. The

fact is no doubt partly due to the circumstance that we take no pay for anything appearing as editorial, which gives all advertisers a fair and equal chance, and compels the attention of readers to the advertising columns; and also to the fact that the paper is generally read at their dwelling-houses and places of business, and often preserved on file, by subscribers who take it because they want it, and value it for its own sake, and not because they have been solicited to give it their patronage.

Other features, to which we invite the attention of the public, are our weekly statement of the value and amount of imports of foreign goods at the port of Boston, prepared exclusively for this paper (additional to the daily reports of the names of importers); weekly statement of the condition of the banks in Boston, and monthly statement of the other banks in Massachusetts, published by authority. These statements are published also in the Semi-Weekly Advertiser, and in our Weekly Issue. The laws of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Pilotage Regulations, are published in this paper by authority, as well as all other official information designed for the public.

The SEMI-WEEKLY ADVERTISER and the DAILY ADVERTISER WEEKLY ISSUE contain substantially the same reading matter as the DAILY ADVERTISER but less space is occupied with advertisements, of which very few appear in the WEEKLY ISSUE. Terms of the Semi-Weekly, three dollars per annum; of the Weekly, one dollar.

All of these papers are printed for mailing on a sheet weighing "not over 1 ounces," and are accordingly chargeable for postage at the lowest rate; viz., a quarter of a cent for each paper within the State, when paid quarterly in advance.

A quarter's subscription to the Daily, postage included, thus costs but $2.20; to the Semi-Weekly, but $1.67; and the Weekly, | but 54 cents.

From the Providence Journal.

THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER. This standard paper, that is so thoroughly identified with the business, the prosperity, and the character of Boston, has passed entirely into the hands of Charles Hale, son of Nathan Hale, who founded it forty-eight years ago, and who still gives to its columns the benefit of his ripe experience and large ability. For the dignity and fairness and independence of its conduct, for the fullness and reliability of its news, and for its value to readers and advertisers, the Boston Daily Advertiser stands in the front rank of journalism.

From the National Intelligencer.

THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER.- A paper so wise, so instructive, so cautious, and so truthful, deserves every success; and its success is a credit to the community which it ably serves and enlightens.

From the New York Shipping List. THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER. The Daily has long since acquired the reputation of being the best marine journal in the country, and as a literary and political publication it ranks deservedly high.

From the Newark Daily Advertiser.

THE BOSTON DAILY ADVERTISER, which has been an everwelcome visitor, will doubtless continue to be managed with the same dignity, energy, and intelligent appreciation of right prin

ciples which has hitherto rendered it foremost in the history of New-England journalism.

From the Concord, N. H, Statesman.

In no newspaper, of which we have knowledge, are political and other editorial articles to be found better calculated to make intelligent politicians and well-informed citizens, than the Boston Daily Advertiser.

From the Salem Register.

The substantial and reliable character of the Boston Daily Advertiser has been a "fixed fact" for many years, and the fullness and accuracy of its shipping list and commercial department long ago became a proverb. Its literary reputation, too, is up to the highest standard of daily journalism; and in politics it is a strong and able advocate of the interests of the people. In all points it is a sterling, first-class paper.

From the Dedham Gazette.

Honest and decided in the expression of its own views, it is always manly, dignified, and courteous towards those who may differ with it in opinion; and we know of no journal in the State that exercises a wider or more wholesome influence than the Boston Daily Advertiser. It gives us great pleasure thus to be able to chronicle the evidence of the success and prosperity of a paper which has acquired reputation and influence by the force of its inherent truthfulness and merit.

TO CLUBS. We will send four copies of the Daily Advertiser, one year, by mail, for twenty-five dollars: five copies for thirty dollars; or ten copies for fifty dollars, payable invariably semi-annually in advance. We will send the same number of copies of the Semi-Weekly Advertiser for half these rates.

ADVERTISEMENTS ARE INSERTED AT THE FOLLOWING RATES:-For one square, or twelve lines of agate or nonpareil matter, one insertion, one dollar; each repetition inside, 50 cents; outside, 25 cents.

Six lines or less are counted hali a square; and seven, eight, or nine lines, three-fourths of a square.

Advertisers who prefer a fixed annual charge, by the payment of forty dollars become entitled to the daily paper for one year, and to advertise their own regular business exclusively, to an average extent of one square on the outside, or half a square on the inside. Copartnership notices, wants, removals, stores to be let, &c., are not included in the yearly privilege, and are charged extra, at the regular rates. The same arrangement may be made for six months, for twenty dollars; or for three months, for fifteen dollars; and for a larger space on the same basis.

WRITING INK.

Testimony of Parties who have used it for more than a Quarter of a Century. REGISTRY OF DEEDS OFFICE, Boston, January 10, 1859. MESSES. MAYNARD & NOYES- Gentlemen: I am glad that longer use of your Writing Ink enables me to repeat the testimony given in its favor many years ago. I have used it in this office thirty-seven years, and my oldest records are as legible and black as when first written. This rare quality for permanence renders it invaluable for State and County Records, and all mercantile purposes, where it is important that the writing should remain legible and unchanged in color by the lapse of time. HENRY ALLINE, Register of Deeds.

MAYNARD & NOYES' COPYING INK. This Ink yields a copy as distinct and perfect as the original. It also combines all the properties of our writing ink, for which it can be substituted.

MAYNARD & NOYES' CARMINE INK. This article is a beautiful red or crimson color, and surpassingly brilliant and rich. It is free from sediment, and will not mould, fade, or turn dark by exposure to the air.

The above popular Inks, together with Blue, Red, Indelible and Stencil Ink, Chemical Writing Fluid. Ink Powder, &c., are for sale at the Manufacturers', Nos. 51 and 53 Water Street, and by all HARDWARE DEALERS AND STATIONERS.

ITS SUPERIOR ADVANTAGES.

1. By the use of this Radiator, a whole house, Kitchen, Parlor, Dining Room, and Chambers, may be warmed by the heat of one fire. The waste heat, before escaping from the chimney, is made to pass into each room through the Radiator, leaving warmth and heat as it goes off again into the flue. The Radiator thus saves and uses the WASTE HEAT from Stove, Range, Furnace, or other fire.

2. It costs less, and secures greater economy of fuel and labor than by any other mode of heating.

3. It secures an agreeable and healthful atmosphere, free from the injurious and unwholesome annoyances of dust and ashes which are inseparable from the use of Stoves and Furnaces.

4. It has great advantages over other modes of heating, in its perfect and simple arrangement for admitting and controlling the introduction of FRESH AIR, and securing free and healthful ventilation.

A Substitute for Lead Pipe.

We have, during the last two years, manufactured and introduced into market

Sixty Thousand Feet,

of all sizes, from inch to 3 inches diameter, and have no hesitation in saying, that for the purpose of conducting water it is superior, in every respect, to any other article yet brought into use. It possesses the following properties:

It imparts no deleterious substance to the water, under any circumstances, nor in any way affects it unpleasantly, after a few days' use.

It is sufficiently elastic to be easily bent into curves, &c.

It is not affected by either heat or cold.

It will not burst if water is frozen in it.

It is not injured by exposure to the atmosphere or sun.

It may be coiled and transported in almost any way, and (if handled with care) innumerable times, and from its elasticity cannot be easily made to collapse.

Its durability must be great. Samples can be shown which have been in constant use, exposed to the atmosphere, for five years; and, also, some that have been attached to a common house-pump, and buried in the earth for three years, none of which show any sign of decay. In short, this pipe is composed of ingredients which are indestructible, except by fire.

The price at which this article is offered, must, together with its invaluable properties, commend it to all who are in want of pipe for conducting water.

It can be made of any size, from half-inch to three inches or more.

Couplings and suitable connections are prepared, and can be furnished with it, made of a compound metal which will not corrode. ALSO,
