It must be a satisfaction to all classes of the com munity that Her MAJESTY is again appearing in public, and passing through the ranks of her peo ple to open her Parliament. A long seclusion has followed the sudden and severe shock of the death of her illustrious CONSORT, but deep as was the sympathy felt throughout the country, it is now admitted on all sides that the period has arrived when the duties of her exalted position can with advantage be resumed by Her MAJESTY. It cannot be said that this particular juncture is at all a favourable one for the delivery of a Royal Speech, and it would require far more skill and dexterity than any of the present Cabinet possesses to make the many crooked things look straight and the many rough places smooth that abound in mat ters of home and foreign interest just at present. Great allowances could be made for the difficulties with which the Government has had to contend in suddenly losing him who was its chief and director ; but at the same time it must be admitted that the chief obstacle to success has been interposed by their own wilful mismanagement and perversity. No one expects that much about Jamaica will ap pear in the Speech from the Throne—that subject has now assumed a shape in which it is best left alone and treated sub silentio. A pass ing allusion must be made, but we may best realise the inconsistency of the course taken by Ministers when we remember that no commendation can be passed upon the authori ties in Jamaica in the Royal Speech, although a notification of the approval of the Colonial Secre tary has already been signified to Mr. EYRE, and read by him to the House of Assembly. A Sove reign has seldom had a more ungracious task to perform . than has her ALUESTY in the allusion to this outbreak iu Jamaica ; and slur it over as they may, it may yet be the bill of difficulty they cannot ascend in the coming session. Respecting the aspect of affairs in Europe, although we are on amicable terms with all the nations, much has transpired during the past year to cause distrust, and to awaken suspicion in the minds of all the independent and enlightened among her MAJESTY'S subjects. The policy of Prussia, both at home and abroad, has been a most mis chievous one, and likely to become more hurtful as time proceeds and its plots are matured and de veloped—a domestic calamity such as had had no parallel in the memory of the present generation. It is, indeed, a painful topic, and yet one that cannot fail to arrest attention and demand a considerable share of notice in the Royal Speech. In this important matter, again, the hesi tation and inactivity of Ministers have greatly contributed to enhance the difficulty of their position, and to put them in an unfavourable light before the country. It is well that the meeting of Parliament will in a great measure relieve them of their responsibility, and devolve upon others the task of suggesting remedies. So far as Ireland is concerned, her MAJESTY has the gracious task before her of congrtulating the Parliament upon the loyalty of her people, which was notified during the recent discovery of the conspiracy. Reform is, of course, the most notable subject in the Royal Speech, and yet we are not likely to meet with much discursive or detailed description. It is true that when oil previous occasions a great deal was promised in the Royal Speech, very little was afterwards done in the way of performance ; there fore, a meagre announcement of the fact that some steps have been taken to form an estimate of the requirements of the representation, and that the attention of Parliament is invited to their considera tion, may, or may not, mean that Ministers will keep the word of promise to the ear and break it to the heart. In all human probability, this session, which inaugurates the seventh Parliament of her MAJESTY'S reign, will be a stormy and eventful one, and form a marked contrast to the tedium and monotony of many past years, during which the Government have been indulging in a dolce far niente. The movement in favour of the repeal of the Malt Tax is assuming formidable proportions, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer can hardly afford to disregard the claims of the abolitionists. They appear resolved that the Government shall not be able to bring that charge of indifference against them which was so long considered a sufficient an swer to all appeals about Reform. The public does not care for it or there would be more agitation was the constant reply, and the very weariness and disgust of the political professions which produced an apparent inaction were thus quietly made to do duty in the cause of the very politicians whose " words, not deeds" had given rise to the dissatis faction. The repeal of the Malt Tax has been com monly set aside as a party question, and conse quently all efforts to secure it have been regarded as mere party movements, and the stronger side of the House has never taken it up. The public, on the reform principle, was supposed not to care about it, and the farmers were not likely to carry their point unaided. The real objection with most people has been that they apprehended the benefits of the repeal would he divided between the landlords and the brewers after the unsatisfactory fashion of some 40 years since when the Beer Tax was removed. Three millions were lost to the Exchequer, and about a farthing in the quart was gained by the public ! But the opini on i s now gradually gaining ground that after all it is a tax which affects the conlner AM 11 - 111C11 42 the producer, aince, in addition " 7 1' of economy, health, and comfort. Good Wholesome cheap beer would be the most powerful opponent of that übiquitous enemy of our English indus trial life—the gin-palace. The meeting held yesterday at the Freemasons' Tavern was very largely attended. Lord BERNERS was in the chair, by right, we suppose, of his thirty years' consistent opposition to the tax. There was a goodly show of noblemen and members of Par liament, so that the repeal is not likely to suffer for want of advocates in either house. Besides these directpoliticians there were farmers, maltsters, and others connected with the question in its various aspects. Lord BERNERS, in his brief ad dress, spoke very sensibly, and urged, with reason, that the question should not be regarded as a party subject. This has, in fact, been the great weakness of the abolitionists hitherto. They have relied too exclusively on the rights of the farmer and the agricultural class, without arguing the matter on the broader basis of the :interest of the general con sumer. The removal of a considerable tax affects all classes of taxpayers, so the interests of all de serve to be considered in a repeal which must be felt somewhere. Lord BERNERS said, "I hold that it is a great social question ; it is a question far beyond the region of party feelings and party politics it is a question which affects all classes— the producer and the consumer alike." The noble lord went on to show that it affected the producer by the restrictions of the excise ; it affected the consumer by making the difference of one-third in the price of beer ; and it affected the labouring classes most of all by driving men to the public house, where they fell into bad company, ran up long scores they could not pay, and were served with drugged intoxicating stuff which was neither cheering nor invigorating. Mr. PuNNErr, of Kent, urged that the principles of Free Trade should be fairly applied to the case when there would be no fear of the result. A Mr. READ, M.P. for East Norfolk, in a speech which was amusing from the intolerance and prejudice it displayed on this very question of Free Trade reminded his hearers that Lord RUSSELL had said many years since that if he were in power when the corn-laws were repealed the first tax which he would repeal would be the Malt-Tax. We have yet to see, however, how far Earl RUSSELL, the Premier of 1866, cares to be reminded of the pledges of the. Lord JoinT of 1830 or 1840. It is was of course to be expected that Sir FITZ noY KELLY, who has taken so prominent a part in advocating the repeal, should be present at this influential meeting, and his speech was, as usual, able and to the point. He argued that the repeal of the Malt Tax must naturally follow from the reduction of other duties, and he brought forward Sir ROBERT PEEL'S declaration that if the corn laws were repealed there would be no answer to give to the farmer when he claimed equal freedom for barley and malt. Several other speakers followed on the same ground, and there were not wanting advocates on the humorous side of the question. 'I he cup that " cheers but not inebriates" came in for some very severe attacks, and one might almost have thought the speakers were dis cussing the attractions of some deadly poison. Great amusement was created by the statement that a work by Dr. E. SMITH, showing the evils and dangers of too much tea drinking, had been dedi cated, by permission, to Mrs. GLADSTONE. But still more laughter was produced when it turned out that another book of still more decided anti teapot characteristics had been dedicated to the Chancellor of the Exchequer himself ! Possibly these volumes reached Carlton-house-terrace too late to affect the Budget for 1865, but let us hope that a careful perusal of the terrible statistics ad- dressed directly to himself by Dr. DEEWITT, and Mrs. GLADSTONE'S resume of the arguments of Dr. SurrH, may move the presiding genius of the Exchequer at least to lighten, if not wholly to remove, the burden of an obnoxious and oppressive impost. It cannot be much a matter of surprise to any one that the recent events in Prussia have created great alarm and disquietude alike for the present and the future. So great an innovation has not been made upon the rights of the members of Parliament dur ing all the crusade carried on against freedom by Herr VON BISMARCK, and therefore it follows as a matter of course that men are on the alert who be fore this have been content to take a hopeful view of the question, and to think that matters would right themselves in the long run. They now find to their horror and consternation that no time mus be lost if they would prevent their country from being degraded in the eyes of Europe, and dis honoured in the annals of history. Many passages may be quoted to prove that the late transactions that have taken place respecting the prosecution of the members are contrary to the spirit and the letter of the Constitution. It is dis tinctly stated that the members of both Houses of Parliament cannot be considered as responsible for their votes. " For the opinions expressed by them in Parliament they can be held responsible only by the House whose members they are, and under th e bye-laws enacted by the same." This definite expression of opinion has hitherto been recognised and admitted on all sides, aad the courts of law have sided with the people in upholding these rights, and preserving intact these privileges. Now, however, a change has come over the spirit of the dream, and we are to witness the infringement of those statutes which contain the articles of the Prussian Constitu tion. Last year the Upper House passed by a large majority a measure which proposed to restrict the freedom of speech in the Prussian Parliament, but no one believed that the thing would be carried to such lengths as it has now unhappily been. The most strenuous opposition will be made by the Lower House to the execution of the Govern ment projects, and we find that so great is the indignation experienced that it is proposed to introduce a resolution affirming that the cause pursued by the Supreme Tribunal has constituted a breach of privilege, and therefore null and void, and binding in no way. This is a very extreme step to take, but quite justifiable under the circumstances. At any rate, whatever evils may ensue, we cannot say that the Deputies have not done their duty boldly and unflinchingly, and had the people supported them better, instead of turning their thoughts to the despoiling of Denmark, things would now be in a more prosperous state, and there would not be so much to fear for the liberties of Prussia. There is a story circulating in Paris which has caused a great sensation. It is reported that a lady has been strangled in a railway carriage on the line between blehui and Fontainebleau. Her husband, a high judicial fienct4euery, ie euspected as the assassin. to the actual amount imposed, it gives scope to so many impositions and excuses for middlemen to make their own profits that the retail charge rises to an absolutely absurd amount. If the Malt Tax were taken off, or even considerably reduced, there would be more competition in the trade, more check upon the brewer and retailer, and, above all, less temptation to adulterate the beer by the vile corn pounds at present introduced. The price and qua lity of retail beer is now so manifestly unfair that it is quite time some change was made in the in terests of temperance and morality, as well as those THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, I M_FEBRUARY 6, 1866. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Monday Evening. The Moniteur states that the Minister of Marine and the Colonies has just presented to the Emperor the first copy of the French edition of the Commer cial Code of Signals. An English and French com mittee was appointed to prepare a book of signals to insure communications between trading vessels of all nations, and the two Governments adopted the basis of a plan for one universal code, and im portant modifications were made in that which had appeared in England. Mr. Larkins, of the Board of Trade, and Naval Lieutenant Sallandvouze superin tended this minute work, the printing of which, in French and English, has just been finished. Copies of the French edition will be furnished to all trading vessels, and at the same time the arrangements have been made at all the Semaphore stations to receive their communications. Arrange ments have also been made to receive by telegraph, and the post communications by ships with the land. Very shortly' a mutual language by signal will be established between English and French merchant ships, when they are in sight of the coast of France, so that they may be in communication with all the French telegraphic stations. Several Governments have expressed a desire to adopt the Commer cial Code of Signals soon after its publica tion at Paris and London. All nations are invited to give it their adhesion, and it is to be hoped, thanks to the good understanding between France and England, that we shall attain the realisation of that great idea of peace and civilisation, " the esta blishment of one universal maritime language." The Journal des Debats has a long and remark able article in reference to the differences which existed between the Egyptian Government and the Suez Canal Company. " With Lord Palmerston," says the Journal des Debats, "has disappeared the last representative of those ancient passions which looked upon France as the natural enemy of Eng land, and on the undertaking of M. Lesseps as a conspiracy against English interests in the East. It is well to remember that the two principal mem bers of the present Cabinet, Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone, at the period when they sat in the ranks of the Opposition, energetically opposed the policy adopted by Lord Palmerston relative to the Suez Canal. Now that they have received their full liberty of action, there is reason to hope that Earl Russell and Mr. Gladstone will not place themselves in open contradiction with the attitudethey assumed, and the speeches they made in open Parliament at another period." The Debats proceeds to state that the French Government has appointed for its com missioner M. Lebasteur, and the Canal Company is represented by Baron Mallet, Senator, and seems to entertain no doubt that, on the arrival of the com missioners at Alexandria, for which they sailed on the 9th ult., and after further conferences, the Sultan will agree to a convention for negotiating the affairs of the company. The works on the canal are proceeding with extreme activity and vigour. The Pope has sent I,ooof. to the central com mittee formed to receive subscriptions in aid of the numerous sufferers from the terrible devastations of the cholera at Guadeloupe, expressing his regret to M. Chigi, his Nuncio here, that under present cir cumstances it was not in his power to send a larger sum. I recently sent you the particulars of the terrible murder and mutilation of a woman at Toulouse, the crime being supposed to have been committed by the keeper o f a w i ne shop, named Aspe. A human head has been found in the canal near that city, and although considerably decomposed it has been recognised as that of the murdered woman. Aspe will shortly be tried on the charge of murder. Another case of murder and mutilation has been discovered. It took place at the village of Littoy, near the town of Bayeux. The victim is a widow of 77 years old, named Savary. She resided in a lonely house. The body was found horribly muti lated, and deep stabs were found on various parts of it. It was known in the neighbourhood that she had money in the house, to obtain which was no doubt the inducement of the murderers. There is a field at the back of the premises of the deceased woman which leads to the farm occupied by a man named Elie. The researches of the police have in duced them to apprehend Elie and his sou as the supposed murderers. The Legislative Body have voted a law granting a prize of 50,000 f. to be awarded within five years to the author of a discovery which will render the voltaic battery applicable with economy either to industry as a source of heat, to chemistry, to to mechanism, or to practical medicine. Should there be no reason to grant the prize at the period named, the competition may be deferred, by decree of the Emperor, for another period of five years. Poncet, after his condemnation for the murder in the wood near Argenteuil, became very talkative, and reproached one of the gendarmes because he was not disposed to converse with him. " Well," said Poncet to him, " is it because a man is condemned to death that you won't speak to an old acquaint ance ?" The place of execution is rather a romantic spot, west of Versailles, distant a mile or two on the road to Sceaux. On the border of a road did Pontcet assassinate a defenceless man, and such a spot is the locality for the expiation of the crime. In addition to his appeal to the Court of Cassation, he sent a petition to the Emperor praying for pardon. An other murder has been committed near Argenteuil. Halfway between Sartrouville and La Frette the body of a man of 65 has been found in a field of asparagus. Mortal wounds had been inflicted on his head with some sharp instrument. He was known in the country by the name of the Sorcerer (le Sorcier). MARKETS.---This Day. HAY.

The Governor-General and the Lieut.-Governor of Bengal had promised and were expected to visit the head works and canals during the present month. The works were also progress ing very satisfactorily. During the last few days there has been very little animation exhibited in the Markets forYoreign and Colonial Produce. The operations in tea have been on a very restricted scale, the trade having de ferred their purchases until the public sales, which commence to-day. Sugar has been in moderate request, only superior descriptions having main tained former rates. Coffee has been in good demand, and brought full prices, while rice has been neglected, and a considerable decline at one time took place in the value of tallow, consequent upon speculative sales ; a slight recovery', however, haa since transpired, PARLIAMENT. HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, It is with great satisfaction that I have recourse to your assistance and advice. I have recently declared my consent to a marriage between my daughter Princess llelena and Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein Sonderbourg- Augustenburg. I trust this union may be prosper ous and happy. The death of my beloved uncle, the King of the Belgians, has affected me with profound grief. I feel great confidence, however, that the wisdom which he evinced during his reign will animate his successor, and preserve for Belgium her indepen dence and prosperity. My relations with foreign Powers are friendly and satisfactory, and I see no cause to fear any disturb ance of the general peace. The meeting of the fleets of France and England in the ports of the respective countries has tended to cement the amity of the two nations, and to prove to the world their friendly concert in the promotion of peace. I have observed with satisfaction that the United States, after terminating successfully the severe ' struggle in which they were so long engaged, are wisely repairing the ravages of civil war. The abolition of slavery is an event calling forth the cordial sympathies and congratulation of this coun try, which has always been foremost in showing its abhorrence of an institution repugnant to every feeling of justice and humanity. I have at the same time the satisfaction to inform you that the exertions and perseverance of my naval squadron have reduced the Slave Trade on the West Coast of Africa within very narrow limits. A. correspondence has taken place between my Government and that of the United States with respect to injuries inflicted on American commerce by cruizers under the Confederate flag. Copies of this correspondence will be laid before you. The renewal of diplomatic relations with Brazil has given me much satisfaction, and I acknowledge with pleasure that the good offices of my ally the King of Portugal have contributed essentially to this happy result. I have to regret the interruption of peace between Spain and Chili. The good offices of my Govern ment, in conjunction with those of the Emperor of the French, have been accepted by Spain ; and it is my earnest hope that the causes of disagreement may be removed in a manner honourable and satis factory tG both countries. The negotiations which have been long pending in Japan, and which have been conducted with great ability by my Minister in that country, in conjunction with the representatives of my allies in Japan, have been brought to a conclusion which merits my entire approbation. The existing treaties have been ratified by the Mikado ; it has been stipulated that the tariff shall be revised in a man ner favourable to commerce, and that the indem nity due under the terms of the Convention of October, 1864, shall be punctually discharged. I have concluded a Treaty of Commerce with the Emperor of Austria, which 1 trust will open to that Empire the blessings of extended commerce, and be productive of important benefits to both countries. The deplorable events which have occurred in the Island of Jamaica have induced me to provide at once for an impartial inquiry, and for the due main tenance of authority during that inquiry, by appoint ing a distinguished military officer as Governor and Commander of the Forces. I have given him the assistance of two able and learned Commissioners, who will aid him in examining into the origin, na ture, and circumstances of the recent outbreak, and the measures adopted in the course of its suppres sion. The Legislature of Jamaica has proposed that the present Political Constitution of the island should be replaced by a new form of Government. A bill upon this subject will be submitted to your consideration. Papers on these occurrences will be laid before you. Papers on the present state of New Zealand will be laid before you. I have given directions for the return to this country of the greater portion of my regular forces employed in that colony. I watch with interest the proceedings which are still in progress in British North America with a view to a closer union among a the provinces, and I continue to attach greater importance to that object. I have observed with great concern the extensive prevalence, during the last few months, of a virulent distemper among cattle in Great Britain, and it is with deep regret, and with sincere sympathy for the sufferers, that I have learnt the severe losses which it has caused in many counties and districts. It is satisfactory to know that Ireland and a consider able part of Scotland are as yet free from this cala mity, and I trust that by the precautions suggested by experience, and by the Divine blessing on the means which are now being employed, its further extension may be arrested. The orders which have been made by the Lords of ray Privy Council by virtue of the powers vested in them by law, with a view to prevent the spread ing of this disease, will be laid before you, and your attention will be called to the expediency of an amendment of the law relating to a subject so deeply affecting the interests of my people. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I have directed that the estimates of the en suing year shall be laid before you. They have been prepared with a due regard to economy, and are at the same time consistent with the mainten ance of efficiency in the public service. The condition of trade is satisfactory. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, A conspiracy, adverse alike to authority, pro perty, and religion, and disapproved and con demned alike by all who are interested in their maintenance, without distinction of creed or class, has unhappily appeared in Ireland. The consti tutional power of the ordinary tribunals has been exerted for its repression, and the authority of the law has been firmly and impartially vindicated. A. bill will be submitted to you founded on the report of the Rcyal Commission, on the subject of capital punishment, which I have directed to be laid before you. Bills will be laid before you for amending and consolidating the laws relating to bankruptcy, and for other improvements in the law. Measures will also be submitted to you for ex tending the system of public audit to branches of receipt and expenditure, which it has not hitherto reached, and for amending the provisions of the law with respect to certain classes of legal pensions. Your attention will be called to the subject of the paths taken by mem b ers o f Parliament, with a view to avoid unnecessary declarations, and to remove invidious distinctions between members of different religious communities in matters of legislation. I have directed that information should be pro cured in reference to the rights of voting in the election of members to serve in Parliament for counties, cities, and boroughs. When that information is complete, the attention of Parliament will be called to the result thus ob tained, with a view to such improvements in the laws which regulate the rights of voting in the elec tion of members of the House of Commons as may tend to strengthen our free institutions, and con duce to the public welfare. In those and in all other deliberations, I fervently pray that the blessing of Almighty God may guide your counsels to the promotion of the happiness of my people.

As Described by enry Mayhew. In the Eighth Part of the very curious and valuable publication entitled, " The Shops and Companies of London and the Trades and Manu tures of Great Britain," a periodical edited by the ingenious author of "London Labour and the Lon don Poor," there appears a description of the Type foundry of the Messrs. Marr and Co., of Edinburgh and London, so remarkable of its kind, as affording the reader a vivid idea of the mysteries of a truly wonderful craft, that we cannot but direct attention to it thus pointedly —speaking of it, as it deserves to be spoken of, as a really masterly epi tome of the history of the whole rise, development, and progress of the marvellous art of the typo grapher. It elaborately traces step by step the ad vancement of that great art from its first rude beginnings up to its earlier approaches to something like perfection as an art, re lating its advancement towards that rapidly approached goal of perfection, through the in genuity of John Gutenberg, the practical skill of John Faust, and the consummate taste of Peter Schafer, to whom tho world is indebted for the ori ginal conception and first execution of type-casting. It particularises, incident by incident, the rise and development of the Printer's Art, telling us how it was in August 1457 that there was printed the famous Psalter--only some half-dozen copies of which are now known to be in existence—a work the capital letters of which were printed in black and red and blue, the whole being upon vellum. It goes on to relate how it was but a little more than two years afterwards, namely, in October, 1459, that there was produced the Durandi Rationale Divinorum Officiorum—and in 1465 that first tribute of the now art to polite literature, the Cicero de Officiis, in which occurred the first Greek type employed by the printer. It recalls to mind the fact that quartos and folios were the earliest sizes in vogue : in these the Gothic Letter being mainly employed—the old Gothic Letter being afterwards changed into semi-Gothic in 1465 in the Subiaco Lactantius. After which it is intimated that the Roman type was in 1470 brought to per fection at Mainz by Nicholas Jenson —that the first specimens of Greek types worthy of the name were employed in 1471 by Schweynheyna and Pannartz— that it was at the commencement of the sixteenth century that the Italic character was invented and introduced by Aldus Manutius, the Venetian— and that it was in 1482 at Milan that Soncino first executed printing in the Hebrew character. Punctuation, we learn next, has been a compara tively recent contrivance—Aldus hitting first upon the semicolon ;—the full stop . however, having the order of precedence as the earliest point invented —the colon : having been introduced somewhere about the year 1485—the comma , first appearing as long afterwards as 1521—while only as recently as 1587 are the first indications of the note of inter rogation ? of the asterisk * or of the brackets [], the last invented of all the stops being (appropri ately, as a climax) the note of admiration ! Besides these there are numerous other signs or marks either of reference or of punctuation, such as the hyphe n - —the parenthesis ()—the dagger t—the double dagger —the section § the parallel II —the paragraph ¶—the pound mark £—the dollar mark s—the etcetera, &c., or ampisand &—the pound weight mark lb—the index Qr—the per r —the to ©. Then as to the salient varieties of type, we learn all about the Gothic, about the Roman, about the italic, about the condensed or elongated variety of black letter, about the Elzevir, about the Baskerville, about the Old English, about the Egyptian, about the Sans-serif, about the Doric, the lonic, the Antique, and the Clarendon. We have specimens next of those variations of the Italic characters, known as the Script, as the Rondes, and the Running Hand. Among other more curious examples of typography, again, are the Rustic as contrasted with the Nonpareil Skeleton, or again as the Antique when compared with the Ancient-faced. As an illustration of the veritable italic type of the last century we have the mention of James Maly and Company's Type Foundry, established in 1742, the ancient numerals, I, 2,3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8,9, o , being placed in juxtaposition with the modern nume orals 1,2, 3,4, 5,6, 7,8, 9, 0. Finally—skipping the Pica and Primer of various sizes—we have, as if in typographical illustration of what can— That air and harmony of grace express, Small by degrees and beautifully less a descending scale of those more customary book types—the bourgeois, the brevier, the minion, the nonpareil, the ruby, the pearl, and the diamond. AS explanatory of the source of their nomenclature the --------- - following particulars will be found interesting : The origin of the names of the different sizes of types is somewhat curious. Originally there wore but seven such sizes; the first was called Prima (whence the name Primer, but now this sort of type is termed " two-line English ") ; the second Secunda (now our Double -Pica and the Great- Paragon of the French printers; the third Tertia (which is at present our Great-Primer and the French Great-Roman; then there was the Middle • size (still called in Germany lfitt/e—but that is now our " English," and the French St. Augustin type) ; after which came the three sizes of letters on the opposite side of the scale—Pica, Long-Primer, and Brevier. In Germany the names Secunda, Tertia, and Mittel are still retained. Pica in France and Germany is called the "Cicero" type,because the Epistles of that writer were ori ginally printed in such a letter. Pica, with us, was so styled from its having been the type in which the Ordinal, or Ser vice Book of the Roman Catholic Church, was originally set• This Ordinal was called the "Pica," or familiarly the "Pie." Steevens tells us " the pie was a table or rule in the old Romish observance, showing, in a technical way, how to find out the service to be read upon each day." Bourgeois was so styled on account of its having been introduced into this country from France, where it was originally dedicated to the citizen printers of that capital. Brevier, on the other hand, obtained its name from its having been first used for printing the Breviary, or Roman Catholic Church-book. Minion, also, is of French origin, and was so .termed owing to this letter having rapidly become a special favourite on its appearance in that country—where it is designated to this day "la mignione" (the darling). Nonpareil is French likewise—this title having been given on account of its extreme smallness in proportion to the largo size of the letters formerly in use ; so that, being without equal in this respect, it came to be thus denominated. Pearl, on the contrary, is purely English (the French, however, have the same size at present, and call it "la Parisienne"), and was introduced after the success of the nonpareil letters ; founders having been thereupon induced to attempt cutting another letter on a smaller body ; and, as this was a greater advance to perfection, it came ultimately to be spoken of as the pearl of all type —even as Paragon obtained its name from being considered to be the perfect pattern of a letter, when it first came out. Diamond ac quired its title in the same manner--the name being signi ficant of the extraordinary neatness and consequent value of the character, in which type-founding is said to have reached the " summit of minute perfection." Full particulars are then given as to the mysteries of a FOUNT—meaning thereby, a given weight, say 800 lbs. of type of the same body and face, includ ing all the letters, stops, figures, fractions, points, signs, references, rules, spaces, or quadrats—the number of letters apportioned to each lower case in a fount, say of pica, of 800 lbs. weight, being in the following relative proportions : 19,200 o and m (each) 4,800 800 13,600 f 4,000 ... ff 640 o, n, and I (oath) 12,800 ... w and y (each) 2,720 ... 320 _ _ 12,400... b 2,560 ... ffi 240 10,220 1,920 ea 160 9,920 k 1,280 ... oa 90 7,040 q 800 6,400 ... j and x (each) 640 5,450... z and & (oach) 320 Total 168,450 The upper case being the capitals, the lower case the small letters ; quadrats, leads, brass-rules, and so forth being the materials employed in what is technically called the justification of the lines; para graphs, pages, or columns of type set up by the skilled hands of the compositor. The Caledonian Mercury states that Miss Long worth will give a reading in the Music Hall, Edinburgh, on the evening of the 16th. "Mrs. Yelverton, we have reason to know," says our contemporary, "has contemplated for a length of time this method of advancing her pecuniary interests; and we are disposed to believe she will make an appearance in her readings which will prove that she has not overrated her power to please.
