The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1848-07-12
To the Public,

Our new rotary, four cylinder, printing presses
are beginning TO work smoothly and rapidly.
They print already, with all the inexperience of the
boys who fill in the sheets, about seven thousand
per hour, and in short time we shall be able to
run them at the rate OF ten, eleven or twelve thou
sand per hour with equal ease. The appearance of
the print is pale, but this is also improving and
with some additional alterations, it will be made
perfect In shert time. Only one of these splen
did engines is IN perfect working operation, but in
few days the second one Will be ready for action.
We shall then be enabled to throw off at the rate
of Twenty-Five thousand sheets per hour in print
ing establishment, and also print any additional
quantity of newspapers besides our own.
The subscribers and readers of the Herald, in this
city, will perceive already that they have been SUP
piled much earlier, during the last few days, than
they were for year or two past. Indeed, We will
be able to supply every subscriber, in this city,
early six o'clock, Whereabouts, an hour which
quite sufficient to satisfy the public of our ability
to meet their wishes.
The readers of the Herald who have heretofore
been casually supplied by the news-boys in the
sheets, Will do well to send their names to the Of
fee in Fulton street, and be regularly supplied at
an early hour in the morning at their houses This
we can promise to do now without fail and with
perfect regularity.
Readers and subscribers in other cities and in
distant parts of the country will also soon receive
the benefit of the vast and expensive Improvements
which we have made In our establishment. If the
mails are regular, they will receive their papers
with equal regularity, for we can always issue them
in time from this Office but the truth is, until Cave
johnson caves IN or is cayed out by the cleo
ton OF General Taylor, or even General Glass; we do
not expect that the mails of the United States,
either at home or abroad, will ever be regular, or
derby or Chrisan-like.
Advertisers and business men Of all kinds vii
do well now to reflect on the advantage of publish
Ing in the Herald. The subscribers of this Jour
nal number probably five times as many as those
of the largest circulating business papers in Wall
street; and each particular sheet has at least half
dozen readers more than any of these papers
have. Advertisements in the Wall street journals
circulate among only four THOUSAND ercfso>~st the
utmost, while advertisements j<the Herald are
seen by nearly twenty-five thousand subscribers,
besides the actual readers amounting to four times
as many, and making nearly one hundred thousand
readers for Gse issue.
Another point TO be observed is, that advertise
ments in the Herald are read as much as items of
the large papers, are looked at and, never Needed
after the first day.
Thus now we start on q new period of our news
paper history. Our establishment is very nearly
completely recognised, having expended nearly
forty thousand dollars in improving it within the
last three months. For efficiency, rapidtty, and
ability in all its departments, there is nothing equal
to it in this country, and nothing superior IN
Europe. Not even the London Times can reach
us in certain portions of our arrangements, parti-
cularly our printing apparatus, which is unique and
exclusive on the face Of the earth
In our European correspondence, we can safely
place claim beside those of all the other Jour
mails published in this CRY. In clearness of detail
IN accuracy of research, in comprehensveness of
view, our correspondents are equal, if not superior,
to any others, and, what is more, they are imbued
with republican and American views, and are not
the support or under the guidance of the oigar-
chists of Europe, as many OF the correspondents OF
the other journals are.
With these remarks we leave the public to Judge
the rest for themselves. At an early day we shall
indulge the curiosity Of a great many persons, by
giving an exhibition Of ourprinting establishments
OF these wonderful engines which have been in
vented by Mr.. Hoe, and which are really one of
Inc WONDERS Ol lIc mechanical world the nine-
teenth century Mr.. Hoe himself will soon depart
from this city his way to Paris to erect similar
machinery in that great capItal--d system of ma
chnery which we conceive TO be a spoke itself in
the great wheel Of republican government.
Advertisers come along-subscnbers come along
-readers come along.-all come along.
PoLIcE DECISION. - We give IN our columns
to-day, very curious and interesting decision Of
the Mayor, recently made In the matter of a com.
plant brought by Stephen r. Thorne AGAINST
Robert w. Bower, one Of our most efficient
police officers. The decision Is satisfactory IN
every respect, and shows that the conduct of Mr..
Bowyer wat justifiable on the occasion referred To-
Indeed Mr.. Bower has been for long time an
officer IN this cty and has always conducted him
set with great fairness, moderation, and respecta.
bliity. We certainly concur fully in the decision
Oi the Mayor and we believe so will every reason
