The English Press.

Journalism in England has not hitherto been
much expanded. Its progress has been slow,
and while IT has been gradually approaching en-
tire freedom, its range and its influence have
been Limited. such has been the severity Of Ic-
gal control-a real ccnsorship-such the tax upol
adyertis. ments, and such the restrictions Of the
stamp Office, that the circulation of newspapers
has never borne fair proportion TO the nuInbr
Of the reading population. A more liberal poll
cy bas, however, latterly prevailed, and acts Of
Parliament are going into operation by which
the stamp duties and the tax on advertisements
have been In the one case abolished, Ia the other
reduced onc-half. or certainly to such an cx-
tent that the press IL at last in great degree
emancipated. The consequences are inevitable.
The press Of England is about TO be revolution
lied.
Already there are three weekly papers pub
lished in London--Rsynolds journal, Dopds
Journal and the Family Heraid-whosc aggregate
circulation il about four hundred thousand per
week. Hitherto their sphere has been that Of
tales Of the mclodramatic order, and their readers
have "suppedon horrors"
Several penny daily papers have recently been
started In London and the chief provincial
towns. hat their efforts have been failures, be-
cause they have not been well conducted. The
pioneers In all enterprises Of this sort rely on
a popular idea, without being able to meet II,
Just as our hardy pioneers Of the West, with q
large reliance on accidental values, pouncc upon
sections Of land, which they cultivate made
quately, and then quit for experience and capital
to take their place.
Even the oldest most influential and well con-
Quoted English journals have had hard work to
reach their present palmy condition. The
hest London newspapers, such az the Time,
have in the aggregate only circulation Of
about 10000, and they are sold at four pence,
about eight cents Of our money, which keeps
them on, OF the hands Of the middle and lower
classes. II Ii quite common for people in very
decent circumstances to hire the reading Of a
papcr. for the cost Of the Times is almost equiva-

belonged to the captain of ship engaged in tn"
trade between Nova Scotia and Greenock. On
one occasion, the captain brought from Halifax
beautiful cut, which formed particular acquain-
lance with Rover; and these two animals of such
different natures were almost inseparabe during
the passage. On arriving at Greenock the cat
was represented by the captain TO Il lady of his &C.
quaintnnce. who resided nearly half mile from
the quay. in whose family she remained for sew
eral weeks, and was occasionally visited by her
friend and fellow passenger, Rover. who seemed
not little dispeased at the separation which had
taken place between them. On the day, howey-
err when the ship WAS to leave the port for anoth-
CT voyage, the usual hustle on board gave Rover
hint OF what was going on, and he decided on
