article on the American press we ex
tract the following concerning th'
Tribune establishment:

making 10000 sheets weekly, and
$3.50, 400 annually distributed TO all
sections of this country, and to the
principal places in other parts Of the
civilized world. This must not,
however, be taken as the permanent
number-ior, since the enlargement
Of the Daily on the 10th Of April
last, its circulation has increased g.
100 copies, in spite of the effect OF
the warm iseason, which usually
dimlnishes the circulation Of news
papers. In the same time the Week.

circulate $4,000 copies, and the
Weekly $1,000 copies, while the ag-

is 50, 800, lat the rate Of Sl45,000
per annum,) the whole business being
done on the cash system.
As we are often asked concerning
the distribution Of labor in The Tri-
bune, it may be proper here to an
swer such inquiries. The immediate
labors Of Mr.. Greeley, the Response
bic Editor, ol course do not extend
beyond the Political conduct Of the
paper and The preparation of the edi-
torial articles, department in which
he is assisted by Mr.. G. A. Dana,
who has been connected with The
Tribune in various capacities for
something less than four years. Mr..
Dana also has special charge Of the
department Of European News and
Politics, and, in connection with Mr..
]. F. Cleveland, who has been Tor
seven years an editor Of The Tribune,
is also engaged in the preparation OF
The political and miscellaneous intel !
Iigence Of this country; this involves
the reading Of above one thousand
exchange papers and the condensa-
ton OF the news they may contain. !
The Commercial Department is un-
der the care Of Mr.. G. NJ. Snow, who
has been entrusted with it since the
foundation of the paper, and who
was the first in this city to furnish
and accurate daily report
1f the markets. Mr.. Snow also has
charge of the department Of Tele-
graphic News. The Literary De-
Dartment is conducted by Mr..
George Ripley. Mr.. Bayard Taylor

pecial translator is also employed in
he office, at the same time that seve-
al OF the regular editors are often
:alled upon to translate from papers
md letters in various languages. In
Iced, though each one is responsible
or his own department, he is lre-
uently required to assist in one Of
he others, in which there is an unu-
ual amount Of work to be done.-
