TYPOGRAPHICAL ERRoRs.--Vexatioust typograpbi-
cal errors will sometimes occur in newspapers in
spite of all the vigilance that be exercised.
Editors do not often trouble themselves much about
them, knowing their readers to be capable of dis
tinguishing those that the fault Of the proof
reader, and trusting for indulgence to the extenu.
ating circumstance of haste and hurry in going to
press. They cannot always be avoided, even where
time is given for thorough reading and all con-
ceivable precautions adopted. We have recently
met with a curious historical fact, which may be
appositely related in this oonnexon. Ii is to the
effect that some hundred years ago number of the
professors of the Edinburgh University attempted
10 publish work which should be perfect speci
men of Typographical accuracy. Every precaution
was taken to secpseth desired result. Six expert
enced proof -rcadeA were employed, who devoted
hours to the reading Of each page, and, after
it was thought TO be perfect, it was pasted
up in the hall of the University, with a noti-
fcation that a reward of L so would be paid to any
person who discovered an error. Each page was
suffered TO remain two weeks in the place where it
had been pasted before the work was completed,
and the professors thought that they had attained
the sbiect for which they had been striving. When
the work was issued, il was discovered that several
errors had been committed-one Of which was in
the first line of the first page.

MONEY AND STOCK MARKET.

WASHINGTON, July IL, 1851.
The money market is much more stringent in
the northern cities than was expected, the gen
eral supposition was that the large amount OF dyi-
dends to be paid on the Government and State
stocks, as well number of city railroads and
other corporations, would make an easy money
market, and cause an advance in most securities.
We must not infer from this that the money mar
kct will continue tight, as much Of the money due
for dividends has not been called for and the banks
and other institutions cannot loan it, it is sub
Ject to be called for at any moment. Soon, how
ever. it will find its way into the regular channels
and, with the large amounts expected from Califor
mia, will doubt create easy market, and an
advance in stocks may be expected
