But we are in possession of no particulars beyond the fact of the sale, and that the printing materials were not included in the Forty Thousand Pounds for the Copyright, but were sold separately. Tug MORNING Csacenesz Is an old-established Daily Paper, is in high estimation in London ; and, as we have heard, is sub scribed for in all parts of the world. So great a sum for the purchase-money—unprecedented in the history of qopfrights— has, however, invested the subject with an interest, which may render the following particulars regarding it (from the last burgh Review") not unacceptable to our readers : Extract from " The Edinburgh Review, No. 76, May, 1825." • Art. Iy. The Periodical Press, pp. 360 to '365. " Moatatia Cnitosnetz.—This Paper we have been Tong used to think the best, both for amusement and instruction, that issued from the Daily Press. It is full, but not crowded; and we have breathing-spaces and openings left to pause open each subject. We have plenty and variety. The reader of a Morn ing Paper ought not to be crammed to satiety. He ought to rise from the pe6sal light and refreshed. Attention is paid try every topic, but none is eversione. There is aliberAity and decorum. Every class of readers is accommodated with its favourite arti cles, served up with taste, and without sparing for the sharpest sauces'. A cop, of verses is supplied by one of the popular poets of the day ; a prose essay appears in another page, which, had it been written two hundred years ago, might still have been read with admiration . ; a correction of a disputed reading in a classical author, is contributed by a learned correspondent. The politician may look profoundly over a grave dissertation on a point of constitutional history; a Lady may smile at a rebus or a charade. Here Pitt and Fox, Burke and Sheridan, maintained their nightly combats over again ; here Porson criticized, and Jekyll punned. An appearance of conscious dignity is kept up, even in the advertisements, where a principle of proportion and separate grouping is observed ; the announcement of a new work is kept distinct from the hiring of a servant of all work, or the sailing of a steam-yacht. " The late Mr. Perry, who raised the Mortaisc CHRONICLE into its present consequence, held the office of Editor for nearly forty years: and he held fum to his party and his principles all that time, a long term for political honesty and consistency to last ! He was a man of strong natural sense, sonic acquired knowledge, a quick tact; prudent, plausible, and with great heartiness and warmth of feeling. This last quality was per haps of more use to hint than any other, in the sphere in which he moved. His cordial voice and sanguine mode of address made friends, whom his sincerity and gratitude insured. An overflow of animal spirits, sooner than anything else, floats a man into the tide of success. Nothing cuts off sympathy so much as the ob vious suppression of the kindly impulses of our nature. He who takes another slightly by the hand will not stick to him long, nor in difficulties. Others perceive this, and anticipate the defec tion, or the hostile blow. Among the ways and means of sue r cess in life, if good geese is the first, good nature is the second. If we wish others to be attached to us, we must not seem averse or indifferent to them. Perry was more. vain thanproud. This made him fund of the society of Lords, and them of bis. His shining countenance reflected the honeur done him, and the ala crity, of his address prevented any sense of awkwardueu or in equality of pretensions. He was a little of a coxcomb, and we do not tMok he was a bit the worse for it. A man who does not think wail of himself, generally thinks ill of others; nor do they fail to mown the compliment. Towards the last, he, to be sure, received visitors In his library at home., something in the style of the Marquis Marialva, in .Gil Bias. He affected the ochoL , r. On occasiiin of the death of Porson, he observed, that • Epitbalamia was thrown into the coffin; of which there was an awkward correction next day—' For Rpithalarnia read Epi cedia !' The worst of it was, that a certain consciouiness of merit, with a little overweaning pretension, sometime.. fered with the conduct of the Paper. Mr. Perry was not like a contemporary Editor; who never writes a sentence himself, and assigns, as a reason for it, that ' he his too many interests to manage alit is, without the addition of his own literary vanity.' The Editor of the Moattieo CH soincLz wrote up his own Paper; and he had an ambition to have it.thought that every good thing in it, unless it came from a Lord, or an acknov.:edged wit, was his own. If he paid for the article itself, he thought he paid for the credit of It also. This sometimes brought him into awkward SitUa-; dons. He wished to be head and chief of his own Paper, and would not have anything behial the editor's desk greater than tbe desk itself. He was frequently remiss himself, and was not sanguine chat others should make up the deficiency. He pos sessed a most tenacious memory, and often, in the hottest pe riods of Parliamentary warfare, carried off half a debate on his own shoulders. The very first time he was intrusted with the task of reporting Speeches In the House of Commons, a singular lapse of memory occurred to him. Soon after he had taken his seat in the gallery, some accident put hint out, and he remained the whole night stupifled and disconcerted. When the House broke up, he returned to the Office of the Paper for which be was engaged, in despair, and professing total inability to give a single word of it. But he was prevailed upon to sit down at the writing-desk. The sluices of memory, which were not empty, but choked up, began to open, and they poured oat, till he had nearly fi lled the Paper with averbatins account of the speech of a Lord Nugent, when Ms employer, finding his mistake, told him this would never do, but he must begin over again, and merely give a general and historical account of what had passed. Perry snapped his Eigers at this release from his terrors, and it has been observed, that the historical mode of giving a debate was his delight ever afterwards. From the time of Woodfall, the Moiterso CIOLONICLE was distinguished by Its superior excellence in reporting the proceedings of Parliament. Woodfall himself often filled the whole paper without any assistance. This, be sides the arduousness of the undertaking, necessarily occasioned delay. At present, several Reporters take the different speeches in succession —(each regaining an hour at a time)—go immediately and transcribe their notes fur the press; and, by this means, all the early part of a debate la actually printed before the last speaker has risen upon his legs. The Public read the next day at breakfast time (perhaps) what would make a hundred octavo pages, every word of which has been spoken, written out, and printed within the last twelve or fourteen hours !" ‘ 4 • Many of these articles (particularly the Theatrical Criti cisms) are unavoidably written over night, just as the Paper is going to press, without correction or previous preparation. Yet they will often stand a comparison with more laboured compo; eitionc It is curious, that what is done at so short a notice should bear so few marks of haste. In fact there is a kind of extempore writing as well as extempore speaking. Both are tbe effect of necessity and habit. If a man has but words and ideas in his bead, he can express himself in a longer or shorter time (with a little practice), just as he bas a motive for doing it. Where there is the nec ssary stimulus for making the effort, what is given front a first impression, what is struck off at a blow, is in many respects better than what is producealtep reget tion, and at several heats."
