The next event of importance is the appearance of Bell's _Weekly Messenger_, in 1796, a newspaper that met with immediate success, and is the only one of the weeklies of that period which have survived to the present time. The year '96 is also remarkable for an action brought by _The Telegraph_ against _The Morning Post_, for damages suffered by publishing an extract from a French paper, which purported to give the intelligence of peace between the Emperor of Germany and France, but which was forged and surreptitiously sent to _The Telegraph_ by the proprietors of _The Morning Post_. The result was that _The Telegraph_ obtained a verdict for £100 damages. In 1794, _The Morning Advertiser_ had been established by the Licensed Victuallers of London, with the intention of benefiting by its sale the funds of the asylum which that body had recently established. It at once obtained a large circulation, inasmuch as every publican became a subscriber. It exists to the present day, and is known by the slang _sobriquet_ of the 'Tub,' an appellation suggested by its _clientèle_. Its opinions are radical, and it is conducted not without a fair share of ability, but, occasionally venturing out of its depth, it has more than once been most successfully and amusingly hoaxed. One of these cases was when a correspondent contributed an extraordinary Greek inscription, which he asserted had been recently discovered. This so-called inscription was in reality nothing but some English doggerel of anything but a refined character turned into Greek. In 1797, Canning brought out _The Anti-Jacobin_ as a Government organ, and Gifford--who began life as a cobbler's apprentice at an out-of-the-way little town in Devonshire, and afterward became editor of _The Quarterly Review_ in its palmiest days--was intrusted with its management. _The Anti-Jacobin_ lasted barely eight months, but was probably the most potent satirical production that has ever emanated from the English press. The first talent of the day was engaged upon it; and among its contributors we find Pitt, Lord Mornington, afterward Marquis of Wellesley, Lord Morpeth, afterward Earl of Carlisle, Jenkinson, afterward Earl of Liverpool, Canning, George Ellis, Southey, Lord Bathurst, Addington, John Hookham Frere, and a host of other prominent names at the time. The poetry of _The Anti-Jacobin_--its strongest feature--has been collected into a volume, which has passed through several editions. This journal was the first to inaugurate 'sensation' headings; for the three columns which were respectively entitled 'Mistakes,' 'Misrepresentations,' 'Lies,' and which most truculently slashed away at the opponents of the political opinions of _The Anti-Jacobin_, decidedly come under that category.
