varn-Newspaper Advantages OF Foreign
Travel.
We yesterday announced that among the
passengers in the steamship Ohio, which
sailed from this port on Tuesday last fo-
Havaua was Mr.. James G.. Bennett, the edlto
and prophetic Of this paper. He was accompanied
by his wife.
Fifteen years go the experiment OF a new paper,
upon new. practical, and comprehensive plan, was
commenced in this city. The paper was the Ne,o
York HeJGh-its permanent capital was tact, talent
and enterprise, founded upon the penny system aud
cash payments With that experiment, new era
commenced in newspaper history. Success beyond
example has crowned 1.-THE system has triumphed
over all opposition 1t has kept up with the pro-
ere.s Of the age giving new impulse to its enter
prises di Getting the movements of capital, aivauc-
ing The tone and energies of public opinion, con-
trolling the results Of popular elections, giving
shape 70 the laws cf the land, and diIiusng even
through the old world, the elementary principles
Of our free institutions, Till Europe has been con-
vulst q with revolutions, which, in their effects,
are destined Ultimately to secure the liberation of
tie pecIle and zoe extinction OF cespotism. Such
ore some OF The won !erful results gro Ring OUT OF
the modern newspaper system of tact, enterprise
and progress, combined in a daily journal, at the
lowest possible expense, and cash payments.
In q lew years after the commencement of
the Ndo Yo,k HTald, against all combi-
nations and en opposition, such was the sue
cess Of he experiment that the editor, after
