VICTIMS OF THE PREss.--The London
Atheneum, in the course of an obituary notice
of the late Baye st. John, a young writer of
great promise, makes the following observa-
tons on his connection with the London daily
press =
"In his thirty seventh year. after executing
many volumes of sound and lasting works,
which showed, however, still more OF hope for
the future than of actual service done for the
past, his health broke down; chiefly, it is fear.
ed, from overwork of brain, and from the I'M
wholesome midnight writing of London daily
paper; and he has gone to his rest followed by
the sorrowful regrets of all who knew his gen
Jus and his worth. Few of those who toss the
morning journal from hand to hand over the
eggs and toast who eagerly bite at its latest
news and expect to find in the editorial col
umns comments on news only born from the
lightning an hour before, have any conception
of the sleepless care, the prompitude Of hand,
the fulness of information, the rapidity of wit,
and wear of brain required from those who do
them this anonymous and invisible service
If the press be the protector of civilization,
as of course we all know and preach up day by
day, it is often most cold, cruel, and migrate
full tyrant to its own ministers. Like the Rev.
olution the press devours its children, and
with greedy ferocity proportioned to the ear
nestness and success with which it works for
the benefit of the outer world. Year by year
we tell off its victims AS we look back
through the dim light of few years the forms
of the men who have dropt away from this
contest gather almost into a crowd Some of
them were persons who might under other
forms OF literary activity have raised for them
selves great regulations, and all of them were
gentlemen of excellent culture and good natu-
raj abilities. They took the task that lay be-
fore them. In the end, even the strong hand
and the strong brain succumbed. Late hours,
the draughts, cold, noise, and closeness Of a
printing Office, the incessant strain of thought
and toll Of hand, exhausted the physical pow
ers of endurance. Bayle st. John is the latest,
as he was one of the best, of these victims of a
civilizing and regenerating press"

one side if imposed will be met By Determinations
as an Offset on the other. So long all proper
facilities are afforded the bushes, of this Com
pany it will best consult its interest by continuing
the proposed arran cement with the Central 'oin-
pany, and the latter can not be insensible to the
valuable trade which will result annually to their
road from this source. While therefore it will be
the interest of both parties To maiutan THIS io'uhS
of mutual bepe6t and profit yet AZ the power rests
in the hands of one party only, all attainahic
