MA MOTHH AMERICAN PJiINTING
PRESS.

(Prom the Boston Evening Traveller.)
OUR TEN CYLINDER PRESS.

The proprietors of the Traveller have had occasion
more than once within the last six months to announce
to their friends and subscribers some acf eesion to its ope
rative force, some increase of its facilities for obtaining
news, some addition to the number of its editions, some
enlargement of its already extended circulation. To-day
they announce that in addition to an editorial and re-
portorial force larger, abler, and more systematically dis-
tributed' tLan that upon any paper out of New York,
facilities and means for obtaining news unsurpassed
by any other paper in the United States, and a circu-
lation which Las doubled within the last year (1856),
they have also taken means to secure a press commensu-
rate in sits and power, and one whose equal has never
yet been constructed.
They have ordered from lieurg. R. Hee and Co., Now
York, one of their immense ten cylinder presses, capable
of striking off 24,000 impressions per hour. The dimen-
sions of this mammoth press are as follow :—lt is 28 ft.
long, 4 ft. 6 ir. wide, 18 ft. high, and will require 12
men to work it. It will occupy two storeys of the Tra-
veller buildings, resting upon the floor of the press-room,
even with tide water, and coming up some six feet above
the level of the street. None of these immense presses have
yet been buil', although four have already been ordered.
They are gigantic pieces of mechanism, to which the
operations of a four or six cylinder press will be diminu-
tive and slow. Hitherto six and eight cylinder presses
have been the largest ever built ; and no one can deny
that they are splendid proofs of the triumphs of the
Printicg Art.
The Philadelphia Ledger has found it necessary to use
two eight cs under presses, to keep up with the demands
of its large circulation. The New York Tribune, whose
weekly has a subscription list rivaled by only one or two
publications in the world, uses one six cylinder and one
four cyliodcr press. The New York Times, whose al-
most unexampled growth and prosperity has so soon
placed it beside these famous newspapers, uses one six-
cylinder and one four cylinder. Our ente:pri-ing ct
temporary, the Boston Journal, which has but few rivals
in New England, uses one six-cylinder press.
Of the five ten-cylinder presses which have been or-
dered of Messrs. Hoe and Co., and which are elrearly in
process of rapid construe ion, the New York Herald has
ordered two, the London Times one, the New York Tri-
bune one, and the Boston Traveller one. The co ,t of this
superb press, which will be constructed as 5000 as men
and money can effect it, will be, when placed in our
press-room, about thirty-two thousand dollars.
For some time past, the publishing of our regular
edition and the issuing of extras, have convinced us fully
of the incompetency of our present fast press to keep up
with the demands of our circulation, and although in no
single instance are we behind-hand in publishing the
latest news, and in many instances are earlier than any
of our contemporaries, neverthtless, it is only ac-
complished by the extra exertions of our reporters, and
by running our press at its utmost speed.
Our Ten. Cylinder Press .will, however, enable us to
publish our regular editions with ease, and for any
emergency, enabling us to leave our forms open until
the very latest moment, and yet sending out our large
suburban and country edition in time for early mails.
The conductors of the Traveller cannot but acknow-
ledge in its prosperity, which is without parallel in
the history of American journalism (excepting the
single instance of the !Yew York Times) a fecog-
nition and approval of its independent course, its ele-
vated tone, its unflagging industry. In no respect, nor
in one jot or tittle will there be any turning aside from
its independence, toy lowering of its tone, any
abatement in its zeal. If the Traveller fails to ac-
complish the still greater success which its conductors
anticipate for it, they will at the least have exerted
hemselvea to the utmost to deserve it.

The Commissioners of Customs have authorised the
formation of a mutual guarantee fund for such officers of
that establishment as may be disposed to avail themselves
of it, in lieu of providing by other means the personal
security required from them. It is to be constituted by
a payment from each officer of 1 per cent. on the amount
of security taken. No further payments will be called
for, except in case of necessity, to prevent the fund from
falling Le'ocv 3,5001.

ASSAULT BY A PHOTKRAPHER.—VERDIOT OP MAN-
SLAUGHTER.—On Saturday the inquiry in reference to
the death of Eliza Burn was concluded at the London
Hospital. It will be recollected that the deceased had
gone with another woman to the shop of a photographer
named Alexander Hamrnit Clerk, in the Commercu!'-
road, and that a dispute arose and a scuffle ensued.,l :
which Clerk struck the deceased on the head with

debate on Mr. Gladstone's amendment will

Bill, the second r ading of the imprisonment for

Juries Act (1856) Amendment B 11, the second

a.k leave to bring in a bill to attolish
punishmfnt in all cases except tretson and mur-
der, and to assimilate the law _imposing capi-
tal punishment in Scotland to that of Eng-
land, and Mr. Muntz will move the fol-
lowing resolutions :—" That the collection of a
property tax under the existing law is univei sally
admitted to bear most uneqUivocally on the parti, a
who pay it. That all faxes which bear unequally
must be unjust and oppressive, and it is the
bounden duty of the representatives of the people
to remedy such inequality as much as the cir-
ctmstances will admit. That to defer the applica-
tion sof a practical remedy under the pretence that
it would net be a perfect one applicaltle to every in-
dividual case, is in truth only to add insult to in-
justice. That such admitted inequality would be
greatly alleviated if a property tax was im-
pnsed upon the owners of different cla'ses of
income, capitalised according to the relative
value of the subject from which the income is de.
rived. That the abstract justice of such princi-
ples cannot be denied, and the details for
carrying it into practical operation would be
very simple. That among other tables of classi-
ffeation which may be suggested the fol-
lowing would be equitable, and would undoubtedly
relieve the people from a great portion of the ine-
quality, injustice, and oppression inflicted upon
them by the present mode—lncomes arising from
laud, funds, rents, mortgages, tithes, and shares,
capitalised at twenty-five years' purchase ; in-
comes from house property capitalised at fif-
teen year' purcnase ; incomes from commerce and
trade capitalised at ten years' purchase ; incomes
from professions capitalised at five years' purchase.
There are no orders on the paper for Friday at
present ; but the Chancellor of the Exchequer will,
no doubt, move to go into committee of supply.
