COMMUNICATIONS To NEwsPAPERs.-The
following extract from an article in the New
York Commercial Advertiser, on the subject
of the right of individuals in the community
to use the editorial columns of paper for
the PRONUNCIATION of their own views, is worth
the perusal of all who affect the quill.
awe may just say here, that we recognize
no obligation to insert communications taking
exceptions to editorial views and opinions,
We are always willing to do it, when the
space at our disposal admits of it, and other
circumstances are favorable. But if one rea-
der may insist upon our publication of his re-,
Ply to an editorial, so may all, and four OF
these long columns might be inadequate to
contain communications called forth by but
quarter of a column of editorial matter. Wa
always give such communications careful
reading, and are glad to receive them. Thoy
have wholesome effect, tending TO make n
journalist write carefully and weigh well his
positions ere he publicly assumes them. This
hint is for the use Of some who write As
though they thought that editors have no
right to express opinions at all; of others;
who seem to think that an editors mind
opght to be an exact transcript of their own:
and of yet others, who seem to look upot
our columns as theirs, and this journal rather
as established to promulgate their views than

THE New York CRYSTAL PALAcE.-A
New York letter says
Numbers of people continue to come in
from the country, to look at tho Crysta! Pal

Talking of the Palace, the stock this MORN

deal Of excitement in the street in conse-

we're criticisms Of one of the morning papers,
upon some shortcomings iE the Inauguration
ceremonies, are the immediate cause Of the
decline; but this is denied by the "bcars" who
say that "the stock isn't going to pay, any,
how"
This morning there was a large number of
vsiters, and the receipts must have been
quite considerable for admissions. Every
body seems to come away well satisfied with
the building; but dissatisfied with the pauci-
ty of its contents. They say there is moth
ing to be seen, as yet, but the mere frame of
the picture. There is some truth in this: but
time will make it all right, perhaps. Lot us

BREACH OF PROMISE SUIrs.-An exchange
tells story of a smooth-checked youngster,
who lately went into n country village, dis
guscd in feminine fxings-false curls, hustle
and all that He was n cute chap and bent
on speculation. Being pretty, he soon won
the true love of "feller," and after due pro-
cess of kissing and counting, in all its various
branches, the question was popped, the hest
tating answer given, the thrilling, ecstatic
embrace enjoyed, and everything put in pro-
per trim for the "nuptials" But the lover
cooled after a time and then quit-whereup-
on a suit was instituted for breach of pro-

lawyers were feed, the sympathy of the press
spoken, and then, the girl" putting her "re-
paired" feelings in good red wallet, visited

AN APPEAL TO THE YoUNG.-A young man
has lately been convicted in Virginia of rob-
bing the mail; and has been sentenced to the
penitentiary. There is an affecting and me-
!ancholy incident connected with this young
mans criminal history, which goes to exhibit
the strength of parental affection. When
the father heard this son had been arrested
on charge of robbing the mail, he exclaimed!
"llave my grey hairs been brought to see
this" and then fell
He was taken to his bed, and died in few
days of a broken heart. If the young would
not bring the grey hairs of their parents to
the grave in sorrow, let them avoid the first
indictments to sin. Once in the downward
path, they know not where they will stop.

The INVASION OF TURKEy.-Galiynani's
Messenger, the English paper published in
Paris, comments upon tho opinions of the
Paris press, MS follows eve are left to
conclude from these articles that the French
Government views the invasion rs an act
which would fully justify the commencement
of hostilities against Russia by Turkey, and
that France and England would, it called up
on foraid by Turkey, offer it to that power;
but Mt the same time we are told that the
Porte alone is the proper Judge of the course
to be pursued, and that if it should imagine
that negotiations may be resumed with fair

NEW York MONEY MARKET.-The En-
press of Thursday, says:-The further news
received over the wires per Europa, appears
rather more warike in its character. These
changes in the aspect of matters, between
Russia and Turkey will continually occur
until the affair takes definite shape, and, in
consequence, will keep the market huctuating
and uncertain. In the meanwhile, the closing
up of contracts, and the caution exercised in
the making of new ones, will increase the
plontifulness of money, and lay the founda-
ton, if there should be no war, of n series of
speculative transactions to large extent
Money continues to range at from to per
cent. Transactions arc mostly made at six
per cent. per annum. Banks and individual
lenders are freely in the market; and capital,
to any required extent, is obtainable at the
quotations.

hundred years time having expired. Its tail
has been slightly tangled in some of the dis.
tant spheres where it has been wandering,
which may account for the delay.

The happiest man in this world is said to
be "a niger at dance" Inour opinion this

happy at a dance, butin every other position.
A darkey may be poor, but he is never low
spirited. Whatever he earns he invests in
fun and deviltry. Give him dollar, and in
less than an hour he will lay seven shillings
