New YORK NEwsPAPERs.-The New York Her
aid and the Sun, long competitors in the crcua-
ton of large daily editions, are nstitutng compare
sons to show which is the greatest concern The
Herald claims circulation of lO3, 900 copies per
week, divided among its seven morning, twelve
evening, and one weekly, editions being an aver
age of 5, so copies for each edition. On the 9th
er side, the Sun boasts of circulation of $50 900
daily copies per week, which divided among six
editions, give an average of $4,000 copies each
that is, for the Herald's edition of s. $50 copies,
the Sun circulates $1,000 copis, or nearly eleven
copies of the Sum- to one of the Herald.
The Sun is ofthe opinion, that the Herald is not
paying speculation at present A year more
ago, an unsuccessful effort was made to sell the
Herald for 5000, 900; and now we observe new
dodge to raise half that sum, the Herald to be
pledged, or accepted, as security for onehalf the
amount 1t seems rather doubtful operation il
the present condition of the money market. The
Sun, with the fastest press that genius has yet de
rived, is unable to print its circulation rapidly
as demanded. 1t only feed to the press some
16, 900 per hour; and to attain despatch Of "a,
900 per hour, It's eight cylinder press, it offers
to inventors prize of ) 600 for the mechanical
means that will do it, and $4,000 for the exclu
sive use of the discovery. Now, wise wits, set t.
work.

RET Governor johnson of Georgia, closes his
Inaugural in the following words. We commend
the spirit as just and proper:
"To the Southern States the observance of this
rule is especially important The institution of
domestic slavery is peculiar to them, 1t is part
of their social, as well as their political structure
1t is recognized and protected by the Constitution.
1t must not be touched by Federal encroachment.
The agitation and heart-burning of the past must
suffice-certainly so far as Georgia is concerned
For, in acquiescing in the Compromise Measures
Of 1850, she has distinctly put the Federal Gov
eminent and its authorities upon terms. She has
said, It must be .fRoi settlement; Mat agitation
must cease; that the 'FagitjOe Slave Lar mast b.
tuHJuiiy executed. SHE HAS SAID IT, AND SHE
INTENDS TO STAND BY HER OATH"

A Long Farewell.

Misses NJ w. and c. p Webster, the only
survivors OF the late Professor John W. Webster
now in this country, babe a farewell to our shores
Yesterday, having sailed for the Azores in the ship
10. They have just paid the last melancholy rites
over the remains of idozed mother, and a
most estimable woman; and having moistened the
dust of Mount Auburn with their bitter and SYM
pathetic tetrs, they now leave forever the sweet
scenes of their childhood, of home, friends and
those many delightful associations around which
the heart always cngs so naturally and SO fondly.
They have uttered that last and melancholy word
farewell. The train of mistortunes which have
rendered dark and gloomy the paths of these
young and beautiful lades-for such they are-is
peculiar and mournlul. We will not name that
circumstance, so dreadful, but ending in death
which deprived them of a father From thai
event desire to draw no veil. And now, be-
fore the robes of mourning had been exchanged
before the deep fountains of grief had been drieC
up, death, insatate and almost cruel, has pros
trated the form of a mother. The grave has clos
cd over her The mourners, in their youth an(
beauty, have now gone. The ocean is to separate
them from the sacred spot of home. They hav,
bid a farewell to whatever was dear, never mor
to return. Such is phase of life-more Of SHADOW
than Of sunshine.-Boston Bee, Oct. 14M.
