IVEW-IORK TRIBUTE. The Daily Tribune is issued every morning except Sunday on a large sheet of fine white pa per, forming eight pages of six columns each, or about the size of two average Country Newspa pers. About six of these pages are new every morning ; the aggregate of Editorials, News and Miscellanies being greater than that of any other paper in America, and greater than any but one or two in Europe, though its price is but half thai of other first-class Dailies in this Country and less than one-fourth the cost of similar journals in Eng land. Two Evening Editions are issued to sup ply each subscriber with the latest news up to the hour when his coppy must be mailed. The Tribune is edited in chief by Horace Gree ley, who has special charge of all maiters per taining to the Politics and Legislation ofour own Country. Its Foreign (Old-World) department is in charge of Charles A. Dana, assisted by abla correspondents in London. Pari3, Constantinople, &c. &c. Its California intelligence and its City department are in charge of Bayard Taylor, as sisted by an efficient corps of Reporters. No ex pense is or will be spared to render its news from all quarters, by Telegraph, Expresses, Steamships and Mails, as early and reliable as that of any other paper. The Semi-Weekly Tribune contains nearly all the non-advertising matter of the Daily, except such as is of local interest, or has been superseded by fuller and more exact advices before the Semi Weekly is issued. It is of the same size with the Daily, and has few adevrtisements. The Weekly Tribune is issued every Thursday morning, and contains most of the matter of the Daily with more summary accounts of such In vents and Proceedings as cannot be published in full. We mean that no Weekly shall surpass this in giving a full graphic and faithful account of what the world is Doing, whereof it ia Thinking, and how it is Progressing. The Tribune is not quite ten years old-, and has obtained an aggregate circulation of not far from sixty-five thousand copies about two thirds of them on its Weekly. Every subscription is paid in advance, and the paper stops when the advance pay runs out, so that no man need hesitate to sub scribe from an apprehension of being dunned for arrears, perhaps after he has left the place to which the paper is sent, in ignorance that it is continued. Subscriptions from individuals and clubs are respectfully solicited by GREELEY & M'ELRATIL Publishers, 154 NaSouu st. New York, Dec. 19th, 1850. Terms (Always in Advance.)
