Dollar WeekIies.

We are not unfrequently annoyed with
propositions to take our paper-and pay
for it in advance too-if we will take One
Dollar year rs payment in full; and
when we decline, however respectfully.
to comply with the offer. we are some.
times told. rather CURLY, "well. l eau get
as good paper for the money" and
there the matter ends. Now we intend
to print few plain thoughts on this SUBJ
ject in self defcdce; and if these do not
commend themselves TO every mans con-
science. and produce re action in favor
of the country press, we have no more to
say.
There are two questions to be settled
in order to set the matter right in the
public mind
l. Is the Dollar weekly of the City
Press as good a paper-or. in other
words. as useful aud interesting-,o
country readers generally, as their own
county paper? There are exceptions. we
grant. but, as general thing, the Dollar
Weeklies of the large cities are neither
very interesting nor useful. They are
made up in part of the current events Of
the week, and in part Of picayune roman
ces, or love stories Of the most trivial and
often immoral character; and furnish. to
country reader, no idea whatever Of
what is going on in his own country or
community. A well conducted country
paper, on the contrary. contains all the
news Of importance. fereign and domes.
tim-together with local occurrences
marriages and deaths-advertise Of
all business men. which alone, 10 wide
olo SC
newspaper several times overland a
glance al all matters of interest to all
classes OF readers. II an ordinary Dollar
Weekly can compare successfully with a
sPrightly country paper, our judgment is
amazingly at fault.
2. Can a>respectable Country Paper
be afforded at One Dollar year? Let
us,examine this matter aiittle in detail,
and make out a bill Of items:
Paper. for 1000 copies per week,
will amount to 208 reams, at II Ee
So. Se24oo
Labor-2 hands at 81 per week,
and boy at So. amounts to
ST. per week,-or per year, 884.o0
Editor. for all work, per year, $1,000
Rent, fuel, ink, insurance, &C.. 100 90
Total. $4,000
Now look at the income:-
1000 subscribers at S1O0. 100000
Advertisements. JobbiDg, DO. s.l--s
say $40. per week, 500 90
Total, $4,000
Take $3.50. from Se1os. and you
have S5e8. as the annual LOSS, to say
nothing of bad debts. and extra expenses,
such as Doctors bills, oyster suppers,
&C.. DC.
you dispense with the services of an
Editor. and make the proprietor ell the
several stations of editor. foreman, COM
position, paste, master, DC. &C., you save
$500 year; but are still SSs per annum
above your receiptsl
How. then. do City publishers afford
to issue their Dollar Weeklies? Simply
thus: they are. without single excep>

pers. so that the types for the weekly are
ready set upsto hand,-or WHAT'S tech
nioally called "dead matter, mot a.

THE FRAZER RIVER 'GoLD. MrsEs,-Is-
srRucTIoNs OF TIE BRiTIsH GOVERNMENT
1t was stated on Saturday that E. Bul>
wer Lytton had instructed the Governor
of Yancouyer's Island that il is no part OF
the policy Of, the British government to
exclude Americans or other foreigners
from the Frazer river gold fields. The
instructions further says, .e.s, 100
On the contrary, you are distinctly in
structed to oppose no obstacle whatever to
their resort thither for the purpose of dig.
ging in those fields SO long as they sub
NIT themselves. in common with the sub
jects OF Her Majesty. to the recognition
of her authority, and conform TO such
rules OF police as as you may have thought
proper to establish. The national right
to navigate Frazsr's river is of course a
seperate. question. and one which Her
Majesty's government must reserve.
Under the circumstances, Of so large an
Immigration Of Americans into English
territory. need hardly impress upon you
the Importance of caution and delicacy
in dealing with those manifold cases Of
international relationship and feelings
which are certain to arise, and which but
for the exercise Of temper aud discretion
might easily lead to serious complications
between two neighboring and powerful
States.
The Governor is also instructed to
adopt every measure he may conceive to
be best calculated to give development 10
the new country and to advance interests.
Her Majesty's government, it is also sta
ted. are determined on preserving the
rights. both Of government and Of COM
merce, which belongs to the country, and
they have it in contemplation to furnish
the Governor with such force as they
may be able to detach for his assistance
and support in the preservation Of law and
order.

THE AMERICAN CHESS PLAYER IN ENG.
LAND.-Mr Paul Murphy. the New Or.
leans chess player. whose arrival in Eng
land has already been noted, is creating
considerable interest among the chess
magnates of London. by his superior play
and the pluck he exhibits in Offering to
match Tor any amount with the best play
ers of Europe. His challenge to ali Eu-
rope has been accepted by SIaunton, the
we'll known English chess author, and
the meeting will take place some time in
September next. Twenty once games

the winner OF a majority OF them will take
the stakes. The N. Y. Herald says:
From private letters received iu this CT =.
ty. was learn that Mr.. Morphy has so far
proved VIGOROUSLY over all the players he
has met in En- gland. His most formula
bio antagonist So lar has been Mr.. Barnes.
n cetsbra'rd amateur. who succeeded in
beating Morphy four games. but was in
turn worsIed eight games by the Ameri-
can. All M"rphy's competitors have
been badly beaten.
The interest Of the chess world now
centres in the Congress which will meet
in Bennington on the 2 Ith 25th 26. and
9Th Of August next. 1t will be attended
by all the great chess players OF Europe.
AS we'll as by Mr.. Morphy. A number Of
