The New York Herald will not be issued to-morrow morning ; but an Eztra will be published a 10 o’clook, to contain all the news that may reach us to that hour, ate wit The New Year—The Progress of Events— The Circulation of the Herald. Before our readers will bave seen this sheet, the old year will have run its course, and the new one, ’49, will be upon us. We cannot allow the occasion to pass, without wishing our readers, one and all, individually and collectively, health, wealth, and prosperity, and | long life. Neither can we allow it to pas’, without saying afew words concerning ourselves. From the first of January, 1848, immediately after seeing our friends and acquaintances on that day, which, if our :eaders recollect, was one of the foggtest, wettest, and most gloomy of the season, we determined that during the year which we were then entering upon, we would maintain our repu- tation for enterprise and industry—that we would, during that year, continue to devote ourselves to the public, and spare neither trouble nor expense in lacing before our readers the latest intelligence from all parts of this continent, as well as the old world. Whether we have persevered in that de- termination or not—whether we have maintained the previous reputation of the Herald or not— whether we have added to it or not, we think is | proved by the fact that our c'rculation, and conge- | quent influence, have been considerably increased. Asa matter of curiosity, and as au evideneé of the progress of the Herald, which 1s so intimately identified with that ot the age in which we live, we have compiled a list of the number of papers which have been issued from our establishment during the year whieh was brought to a termina- © tion at twelve o’clock last night. q Here it is:— ActuaL Cincunation or tHe New Yore ' Heraup 1 1848. ’ Weel e.ding M5404 July... 8. 129,600 Week ending Je uary 8 Aggregate cireulation in 1843........7,514,082 The year 141% has beea aa eveutiui one, It has
