by much reflection to the elucdation OF this no.;
ton. The other article upon RAyMosD of the
Times is of much severity. R. had spoken of The
Examiner as edited by iunatic. The Examiner
characterises him without principle and
without talents; who maintains reputation, by
initiating the style and stealing the ideas ofothers-
it pronounces him "gennine turnkey" 1t briefly
reviews his Editorial career-his connection with
the Courier, and his election from that journal for
having converted it into Abolition sheet in the
absence of Coz. WEBB-his starting the Times, and
his affected decency and propriety on the Abolition
question; but (under the idea doubt his interest
could be better promoted in that way) his sudden
resumption of his Abolitionism, and his entering
the field an imitator and rival OF Greely; which
the Examiner argues was only playing the part of
toady to the philosopher of the Tribune The Ex-
Editor. He came out strong for Tnternationa,
Copy Right; but forming connection with one OF
the HARPERs, whose interests dead against that
measure, heforthwith set to eating his own words
"He aspires" says the Examiner "to the hatred of
the South. He has not yet been able to win her
contempt"
The Mail, in brief notice of the foreign news,
comments upon the cruelties at ODESSA where it is
alleged, men, women and children were indscrim-
nately murdered. The Mail says this is the result
OF the temporary success of the Turks; an effect
always following such cause among semi-civil-
lied people. 1t says such inhuman conduct cannot
but provoke the censure of the Christian world
Speaking of the War in Europe, the Mail remarks
that the power of Russia is the land; that she
s waiting to collect her energies and it will be
greatly mistaken if the allied powers do not yet
feel with crushing weight the strength of her ARM.
The Mail in another article, remarks upon the
severity of scne of the Democratic journals upon
the administration, and says if the Whig papers
were to say halt as hard things of the administra
tion sit would be ascrbed to party bitterness and
spleen"
The Whig notices the Enquirer's article on the

between the Wings and the Aboltionists the En-

Enquirer it thinks, hardly frghten its readers
with the stereotyped cry. But the Whig wants to
know why the "freesoilers should want to form any
better profitable coalition than the present
contract they have with the administration of Frank
lin Pierce7" 1t concludes that there is no danger
of their abandoning the administration which be-
slows its patronage so freely upon them for the
sake of a Union with "helpless minority Of
Whigs.'
The Post makes statement of the circumstan
ces OF the flare up in London about the "Grape
shot," 1t has article on the enormous expense
to Great Britain of keeping up the great work of n-
ternational police-the protection OF the weak and
the chastisment of the aggressor The Post esti-
mates that the transport service alone of the great
force necessary for this purpose, amounts to about

The Enquirer is without editorial, except brief
and feeling tribute to the late THOMAS RITcHIE Jr
for whose death the paper is clothed in mourning.
