The Newspaper Press.-Its Condition and
Prospects.
As balmy spring is approaching, the season when
nature throws off the le,hargy of winter; the pri-
ruarero delPanno when the cheek of beauty is NEAR
Hadlned by deeper richer and more conscious blush,
and the birds al the woods with vocal melody
when every thing takes impetus from the revlving
influence of the sun, and man entertans fresh pro-
jects, and goes vigorously to work about their &C
compshment-at this time of great enterprises and
swelling hearts, several newspapers will be started on
the two penny principle, and will do their best 10 gam
a permanent and established footing. The more the
merrer; and we have no objection 10 the iules' and
mos vigorous competition; the public Will proht by
the rivalry, instead of being dosed with the veroage
and mental nanity of those political twoPennef VINO
are now in existence, and struggling desperately 10
keep their heads above water.
In the palmy period of bank expansions and real
estate speculations, when moneycoud be almost goi
for the asking. and any note with nearly any name
could procure discount, the Wall street papers and
some of the pennies, thought il becoming in them to
indulge in an analogous expansion, and to risk the
increase of expense in the hepe of thereby bringing
in an increase Of patronage; laying cut all they had
realized (f any thing, on an unwiedy stock in trade,
lish and dangerous contingencies. Theconsequence
IS that when the reaction took place. they were I'M
prepared for the screws by which their exerhoas
were cramped; and found the machine they had
swelled beyond all due proportions, too cumbrous for
their management and too expensive for their means
In this predicament the Wall street papers find them
selves their circulation has diminished; their adver-
tsements are curtailed; all their of
have been contracted while their outlay has increased;
nd they are ashamed to begin the prudent and only
Swing course of retrenchment and economy. Some
of the smaller papers are in the same dllemma and,
put what face they may on the matter, they cannot
sustain losing business in the expectation of turn
OF good fortune which is altogether uncertain and de-
pendant on the chapter Of accidents When business
does recover from the late and present shock it will
be reconstructed upon altogether different principles;
and the days of lavish and reckless expenditure
not kelly again to bring about such mushroom pros
perity, and such destructive revulsion.

and acted accordingly The breeze did not tempt
me TO carry on with canvass below and alof went
on steadily with royals, without encumberng myself
with the useless gear OF moon rakers sky -scrapers
ring tails stunsals without stunsals and fancy

every change and emergency. BY this means have
steadily increased my strength, and husbanded my
stores and ready for start with any competitor;
being conscious that my mental calbre Will carry me
through; that my business habits will enable me to re-

Tar CASE OF THE BAMBERs.-The mutual sur
rendry of notorious criminals is part OF the comfy
of nations and all the writers on the natural and
civil law enforce it as the strongest bond by which
the great family of mankind Is held together. The
principle is obvious and recognized and there IS no
occasion TO quote vattel Grotus, Pufiendcrff, and
the tribe of pubciss enforce it, In the case ofthe
Bambers, we see nothing to remove them from the
operation of this saluary and healthful ordinance.
The Grand Jury Of the county Of Antrim has found
true bill against them for capital felony, and this
presentment only waits 10 be decided upon by the
petty iury who are the arbers Of the guilt inno
cence of the parties The Grand Jury has pro-
nounced tina, there is probable for trial. and on
this instrument precisely similar to our own modus
operand in such cases, the requlson for their sur
render 10 abide their trial is made.
What we have TO do with the political state OF Ire
land, il passe,h our understanding 10 comprehend.
Tive fugitives from the justice Of their country are
discovered to be residents mere afiidavlts and the
presentmeni OF the Grand Jury are forwarded, and
q request is made that they may be delivered up 10
have fair and impartial trial for the crime of murder.
The fact is not denied, but the eT pGrte declarations
OF the persons implicated taken the standard of
truth stead ofihe preliminary tribunal sworn tostand
between the laws and the parties. All that we have
heard hitherto, convinces that these men ought 10
be sent TO Ireland TO answer for the charge alleged
against them.
