SANATORY CONDITION OP PRINTING, OFFICES.—
Amongst those trades and professions opposed to the
duration cf life which are fdl.wed in the Metropolis by
large numbers of persons, few are mot... fatal than' that
of the compositor and printer. The number of deaths
from consumption amongst them is very large. Those
who have vi=sited some of the London printing-offices,
which have been adapted for this purpose fr)m ole-
fashioned dwelling-houses, will not for a moment doubt
that the deaths and loss of health are to be attributed to
theill condition of the atmosphere, produced by over-
crowding the space, and setting at defiance all kiaaatory
princiWe% Nor are the editors and correctors of the press
in many cases better accommodated. Men wed aware
of the danger- aro shut into closets, partitioned off from
the ill-ventilated space, and little larger than full-sized
coffin. ! Sketches of some of these literary dens, in
which are accommodated men who are earnestly working
to elevate the taste and improve the condition of the
community, would astonish many readers. Changes for
the better have tither been mate or are in progress in
various quarters. Much, hOwever, that is had remains
to he altered ; and tatting ties whole of the sanatory
arrangements that have been provided for those engaged
in the printing profession in a mass, there remain de-
frets sufficient to account as clearl I for the loss of life
in printing •oilicee ad iu the barracks of the metropolis.—
The Builder.
THE HIGHLANDERS AT LUOKNOW.—The natives of
town remark the difference between the Highlanders and
the other soldiers, and there were no rod of queries as to
whoa the " &tyro" gownmen were going back. The
dress was a p,,rfect curiosity among the natives, and it
was ridiculous to see the crowds of thorn always
the guard•room, and the intimacy that mx‘sted between
trieni and the soldiers. la was a common thing to Ott) a
great stalwart Highlander :Weep on a couch and a couple.
of black boys, of their own ace ,rd, fanning him 43d
its aping the flies off, nor were they ever in watt of
.nany-
thing, for these little urchins would fly oft like to
pilot-fish, and bring them hook orangt.s,
&c.--Later in Inverness Courier.
