The newspaper mania in New York runs at present very high-beating the canal and banking mania all hollow. Daily, semi-weekly, and weekly papers, are multiplying there to alarming degree, especially to the publishing interest. Among the many otherswhch have of,ate appeared, is entitled "1he Age, to he edited by the late publisher of the Albany Wic- roscope" In his prospectus the editor says, we shall endeavor to hold up mirror, in which mankind may see the follies and vices of the age in which we live, reflected in their true colors." Had he said, i've shall hold up mirror in which mankind may see the follies and vices of" The Age," he would have come nearer the truth, as will be manifest by his columns unless great moral change has taken place in him since he edited the Microscope. Such public criticisms upon the "foes and the vices of the age," by such man, looks too much like person up to his ears in tar barrel declaimng against the filth and misery of the rest of mankind and boastng of his own neat oca ton.
