LHE circumstance of the recent 'Sale of THE
MORNING CHRONICLE Newspaper for so large. a,
sum as Forty Thousand Pounds, has excited much conversation,
and some inquiries have been addressed to us on the subject. 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 filled 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."
