torm those who may desire TO subscribe. that
Congress will meet on the first Monday of next
December, when shall recommepce publish
ing the above named papers They have been
published so long, That most public men. know

| TIE DAILY GLOBE will contain report of
she Debates in both branches OF Congress as
taken down by reporters equal, at least, to
any corps Of shorthand writers in his, or in
any othea country. majority Of them will,
each be bic to report, Uer6atim, ten thousand
words an hour, while the average Rumber OF
words spoken by fAent speakers rarely ex-
ceeds seven thousand five hundred words an
hour. When the debates of a day do not make
more than torty-five columns, they will ap-
pear in the Daily Globe of the next morning,
which wi i'll contain, also, the news of the day,

be suggested by passing events.
