sessions; always from one to five columns.
DO you, in New York, publish any telegraphic
report of the proceedings of your Legislature
at Albany? Every day.
To what extent would the proceedings be tel
egraphed from Albany? From half column
to two columns sometimes three columns,
when the matter is Of great interest.
Observing our newspapers, and comparing
them with the American papers, do you find
that we make much less use Of the electric tel
egraph for transmitting news to newspapers
than in American Not hundredth part as
much as we do.
That is considerable-item Of expense there,
is it not? Enormous but it is cheaper with
us than with you.
An impression prevails in this country that
our newspaper press incurs great deal more
expense to expedite news than you do in New
York; are you of that opinion? do not know
what your expense is; l should say that
SlOO, 900 year are paid by our association Of
the six leading daily papers, beside what each
gets separately for itself.
100000 year are paid by your association,
consisting of six papers, for what you get in
common! Yes; we telegraph great deal in
the United States.
4. Lar Of Libel.
Mr.. CoBDEN. Are there not many actions
brought III America for libel! Very few indeed,
unless founded on police reports, such as the
report of man being arrested on the charge of
swindling, Or the like Of that.
Are you not permitted by the law of America
to publish the police reports? No; it is not re
garded as lawful even to say that John Jones
was arrested for swindling; it is not privileged
publication; he might show damage in that
case and convict you, even though it was the
fact that he was so arrested for swindng, unless
you could prove that he was actually swindler;
that rule is derived from your courts.
Mr.. RICH. Does that practically occur? Yes,
though it is very rare

From the Union Of this morning.

In order to blast rocks, whether above or be-
low the water, it has heretofore been generally
considered necessary to have the powder either
within or under the rock to be blown up. But
it appears from the operations at Hurl Gate
that this is not at all necessary when the rock
is under the water--that, putting the charge on
the rock, and having the weight of the super
incumbent water as a fulcrum, it is almost as
easy to blow a rock dOWn as it is to blow it up.
In illustration Of what has been done in this
way, and in evidence Of the value of this new
mode of blasting, we are permitted to copy the
following interesting letter to Lieut.. Maury,
from Mr.. Merriam.

the Now 1 1ork lrt0une, appeared before q COM
mittee on newspaper stamps of the British Par
lament, to give such information as he pos
sessed respecting the newspaper press of this
country. We purpose quoting some interest
ing items from his testimony.
/. Business Of a Oae-cent Paper.
CHAIRMAN. At what rate can you print the
New York. Tribune? Our press will work but
10000 an hour; there is one faster, an eight
cylinder, which will work 10000, they say;
call it $4,000. ?
Mr. CoBpEY Do you believe that there is q
press at work in New York which will print
lS, 600 copies an hour !? Yes; | have seen it at
feed sheets upon it.
Have you seen the press that is used for the
Times ? Yes.
Do you consider that the press at New York
prints with more rapidity than the one at the
Times Office? Yes.
Is that machinery used by the proprietor of
a penny paper? Yes; halfpenny newspaper,
the San.
Must not that require the use of considerable
capital! Yes; the Sun concern is worth quar-
ter of q million Of dollars; ESQ, 900 were given
for it.
Do you speak Of copyright and plans? There
was very little property besides. 1t was sold
for quarter Of million Of dollars and it was
very cheap.
Fifty thousand pounds for halfpenny paper
Yes.
What is the circulation? Fifty thousand; but
the circulation is a very light matter; there is
no profit upon that; but the advertising would
be, suppose, ECO day, or $500 day
2. Profits Of AdUGtiSng
z. 4
from advertisements, is it not? Yes, on daily
papers.
CHAIRMAN. With reference to the Sun paper,
you stated in your last examination, that the
circulation was large, but that the profit de-
rived therefrom was from the advertising? The
profit is nothing on tie circulation. | will state
how, in our country, there being no duty on
the advertisements, the prices are very much
less for advertising. The prices range from 20
cents up to any amount; that is to say, 20 cents
is the lowest; for instance, the advertisement
of religious meeting, or any public gathering,
will be some % cents, or Is. of the money of
this country; the consequence is that the
amount of their advertisements is enormous
Every religious meeting, or meeting to take
place of any religious society, benevolent or
phanthropic, is advertised in all the journals
and forms very large proportion of our re-
ceipts, though the receipts, in each case, are
very small We regard those as portion of
the news Of the day and advertising which
possesses a public interest is done at o less
price than advertisements intended for the pc
cuniary profit of the advertiser The advertise
ments are one main source of the value of daily
papers, and thousands Of business men take
them mainly for those advertisements.
3. Telegrophmg Ncws.
The leading article has not 50 much influence
as it has in England? No. the teegraphic de-
spatch is the great point.
Mr.. CoBDEN. You stated, did you not, that
your New York papers contained two or three
columns of telegraphic news? Three to five
columns in times of Congress and Legislative
