honesty; and when they end in total
wreck, looks his abused creditors coolly in
the face, and offers them list of bad debts,
and an inventory of worthless goods, pro-
vided they will release and discharge him
forever from their claims.
Our readers must not consider them
selves, or allow others to consider them,
as petty trafickers for petty gains; but as
merchants, in the fullest and most honora-
BILE sense of the term as the men by whom
the great operations of the world are sus-
tanned, by whom the Intercourse ofthe hu-
man family, however scattered and remote,
is kept up as the instruments liberalization
and intellectual Improvement as the a
gents to distribute the comforts and lnxu-
ries of life over the whole surface of the
globe. BY them the whole race of man,
OF every variety of complexion and char
acter, aud wheresoever they may inhabit,
are brought together, and taught to know
and TO aid each other. They are the
peace-makers of the world, for they show
1t to be the interest and happiness Of all to
remain at peace and they demonstrate
that it IS easier to obtain the good things
we desire by commerce than by conquest;
national asperitics and remove unjust pre-
JUDGES. Such high functions cannot be
performed by ordinary men and those
who do perform them faithfully, are the
noblest bcnefactors mankind. -Hopk'a.
The Times Printing Office The es-
tablishment Of The Times newspaper is an
example, OH large scale, Of manufacto-
~ in which the division Of labor, both
mental and bodily, is admirably illustrated,
and in which also the effect Of the domes-
tic economy is well exempli6ed. 1t is
scarcely imagined, by the thousands who
read that paper in various quarters of the
globe, what scene of organization and ac-
tivity the factory presents during the whole
night, or what quantity OF talent and me-
chanical skill is put in action for their a.
musement and information. Nearly 100
persons are employed in this establishment;
and, during the session of Parliament, at
least II reporters are constantly attending
the House Of Commons and Lords; each
in his turn, after about an hours work, re-
firing to translate in ordinary writing, the
speech he has just heard and noted in short
hand. Tn the mean time so compositors
are constantly at work, some of whom
have already set mp the beginning, whilst
others are committing to type the yet UNI
dried manuscript Of the continuation of "a
speech, whose middle portion is travelling
to the office in the pocket Of the hasty re-
porter, and whose eloquent conclusion is,
perhaps, at that very moment, making the
walls of St. Stephens vibrate with the APP
plausc Gifts hearers. These congregated
types, as fast as they are composed, are
passed in portions 10 other hands; till at
last the scattered fragments Of the debate,
forming, when united with the ordinary
matter, eight and forty columns, re-appear
in regular order on the platform Of the
printing press. The hand Of man is now
too slow for the demands of his curiosity,
but tho power of steam comes to his as
sistancc. Ink is rapidly supplied to the
moving types by the most perfect mechan-
ism four attendants necessarily introduce
the edges of large sheets Of white paper TO
the junction of two great rollers, which
seem to devour them with unsated appc-
lite ;--othcr rollers convey them to the
type already mixed, and having brought
them into rapid and successive contact, re-
deliver them to four other assistants, COM
plctely printed by the almost momenary
touch. Thus, in an hour, 1000 sheets Of
paper are printed on one side; animpres-
sion Of IL, 900 copies, from above 500, 900
movable pieces Of metal, is produced for
the public in six hours !'-Mr. Bdbbage's
