1t is astonishing how the brosIsheets oil
the press maintain themselves G. one steady
quantity during all seasons of the year Tie
English journals in this respect are like Lon
don itself. At this period OF the year you hear
that London il empty-,hat there Is nobody IN
tovp. You LOOK abroad and discern 10 scarcity
in the multitudinous streets. 50 also they tell
you that there Is nothing in tue newspapers, and
vet the newspapers are manliestly iull. IL

no "quslity" in the streets Of London ct present;
there is no quality in the news oi tho papers

canals were to be made and the gangs OF convicis
were the available laborers. One circumstance
