New YORK LmERALITY--The sufferers at
Savannah have already received over twelve
thousand dollars from this city to relieve their
Distress In aid Of the New Orleans sufferers
we contributed something like sixty thou
sand dollars. Misery all over the country re-
ceives aid from New York; and, we may proud
ly say it, never meets with a rebuff. Ireland,
Madeira, Africa, our own country, can all tes.
tify to the hberalty with which we dispense
our dollars. Much sarcasm is levelcd at New
York by country folk, who are pleased to de
nominate us nest of plunderers, and to exer-
ercisc their wit upon Wall street and its pecca-
dilloes foreigners too are fond of talking
about our devotion to the almighty dollar, and
painting New Workers as mere money getting
machines. The charities Of our city ought to
cover multitude Of sins.

Hen PRICES OF PAIER--A PHrNluM Pro
cotemporaries the San, owing to the hard
times, has thought it expedient to razec its
superficial dimensions to the extent of CO.
Iumn all around. This win be no great loss 70
the readers Of the San, while, on the other
hand il Will probably be saving to the es..,b-
lishment, in the article of paper of not loss
than ten thousand dollars year. The i'm
mensely increased quantities Of paper con-
sumed within the last five years, in the increas-
ed production Of newspapers, books, and ps-
riodicals, throughout ali Chlistendom, has sud-
denly brought all parties concerned in the sta
pie article OF white paper TO the important
question Of filling up the deficiency in the sup
plies of the raw material by some substitute
for the exhausted reliance of old rags. Mean
time, as afiording some idea to our readers of
the increased price Of paper, taking our circu-
alion Of last year as the basis the white aper for
the New YogK HERALD this year will cost us
the increased outlay Of thirty thousand dollars
over the last. Yet such is the pressure of our
advertisements, and the demands OF the news
OF the day that Notwithstanding our daily in
creasing consumption Of paper to meet the daily
increasing requirements Of our circulation, We
feel that we are not permitted to race. Mean
time we are willing to join our contemporaries
in substantial premium for the discovery OF
some new, cheap and abundant material for
good white paper. What say they!
