PRINTING IN FRANCE.-There are in France 037
printing offices and l092 Journals. The number of
cOmpositors employed in all France is about $3.50
Of these Paris employs $500, Lyons 12o, Bourdesux
! 1l6 Marselss ll2, Lille 10, Toulouse 102, Rouen
10, Tours So NanteZ rs Strasbourg 63 Besancon CO.
| Amiens 81. They occupy 1000 pressInon and aids,
900 corrcctors, proof readers and conductors aud
$50 conductors. The printing office of Alfred Name
| < Co., N Tours, (Which works for Paris) runs %
presses which consume $50 reams of paper daily.
This is the largest establishment in France. The
average annual number of works which appear
from the press is 5000 not including stereoty yped
reproductions. Their value is estimated ut five
millions of dollars. The proportion belonging to
Paris is t3040,000.~ So that Paris alone furnishes
nearly twothirds of the matter produced in France.
! THE AMERICAN HORSES IL EyGLANp-We learn by
the City of Washington, that Mr.. Ten Brock. has
| retained the services of Charlton the accomplished
jockey for his horses in their future engagements
on the English turf. In his hands there is no
doubt that both Prioress and Prior will confirm tho
high opinion expressed of them by many shrewd
judges at Goodwood. As jockey, his srits have
| for some years been universally acknowledged
and it was under his guidance that Blink Benny
won the Derby and Oaks this year, and Skirmisher
the Ascot cap Prioress was entered for the Sussex
county cup, which run for on the Ilth inst
| Whether she run or not we are unable to say, as
the only information the London Journals give Of
the race is, that Tournament was first, Polar Star
second, and Cheyalier d'Industrie third. Five run
| and the race by length. AS we have
not the names of the other two starters, cannot
| say whether Prioress was one of them.
DISCOVERED AT LAsT.-The Spiritual Age, an or
gan Of the tabletippers, in this city, claims Rev.
stephen Pennington, pastor of the Bedfotd-Avenue
Baptist Church, Brooklyn, as a disciple of their
faith" The "Age" says the reverend gentleman
has assured it, by a process of infusion of ideas
into his mind the spirit ofsorne dead classmate,
Mr.. 3. 7. Purdy, had assured him of the nature
of the happiness Of Heaven; that II consisted In
| harmonic relations and intercourse with Kindred
natures, and the abiding consciousness Of the lf-

THE SEroY REGMESrs.-ln- the London Times Of
the 9th We find the following 1.-THE Scpoy Rcgi
ments are really oicered by of their own
and religion, who teach the young gentlemen from
England tho routine of duty. The latter learn to
look npon the service with heir regiments a
vexati0n. and after time, a humiliation. Eve
ry one who is anybody is draughted away to some
thing rise, and of course il is both oner0us and
mortifyisg 10 remain. When seven or more of the
senior officers are away, getting higher pay and
with the prospect Of an indefinite advancement, 1t
cannot he wondered at that the regimental service
should be demOralized, and as little that the Hin
docs shoud discover the fact"
How sHE RECEIVED THE Ngws.-When Mrs. Gun
ningham heard that the decision WAS adverse to
her claims as the widow Of Harvey Burdell, she
exhibited little or no emotion; she simply remark
