     The Express and Commercial Advertiser was established in May 
     
     of 1850. It was owned by John Ings, who was also the owner of 
     
     the Islander (see also). A Conservative newspaper, the Express 
     
     and Commercial Advertiser often reprinted the editorial content 
     
     of the Islander in its columns. It opposed Responsible Govern- 
     
     ment and the Liberal newspaper the Examiner. Some international 
     
     and local news was published in this paper, along with anecdotes, 
     
     fiction, poetry and advertisements.
