Our contemporary, the Near York Times, so
called 5y its editors and propretors, that ii may
not be mistaken for the London Times, has lately
contributed somewhat to the information, and
good deal to the amusement of the world There
being but one planet for both the Times,
although each has appropriated a hemisphere,
there is necessarily sharp competition between
them for the worlds applause, and, consequently,
during the present campaign, each has had trc-
mendous correspondence from the seat of war.
The London journal employs the pen of the dis
tinguiShed Russell, without regard to expense,
while its Nav York rival sends its leading editor
to the field besides scarcely less distinguished
correspondent who signs himself MALAKoFF,
but whose real name is JOHNSON. The first effect
of this great effort on the part of the American
paper was to place it far ahead of any Times but
itself In its report of the battle of Solferino, it
took the lead of every other combination of types
and brains extant. 1t was not content, how
ever, with this achievement, but followed it up
with such description of the famous quadrilatere
as not only TO distance the London Times, but ac-
tuay to surpass Punch. This however, was n
feat performed at home-the article in question
being domestic editorial. 1t might be appre-
hended that the armstice would render its letters
from Italy less exciting, but Judging by one
from its Gown Correspondent, /" in The Times OF
Saturday, we infer that when there is no battle to
paint the portrature of the leading spirits of the
Italian movement will afford quite interesting
field for the exercise of his delicate brush Take,
for example the following sketch of the Count
CAvoUR:
Next to GARIBALDI in the affections of the people
stare the Count CAvoUR. The Count as great he
is Cardinal Richelieu Taleyrand, and Nero-three
high sounding adectves to attach any of the
sent epoch But he is deep intriguer, long sighted
politician and thorough despot He is polished
tesan, and yet high minded statesman intris
essential of trade He having much do with the
present events in Italy as NAPOLEON ILL., The two are
doing all the work quite essential its
the other. You will see what CAvouR will
NIL in the history of the impolta events of to day.
There are other journals, not a hundred miles
off, which have had their Gown correspondents -
in Europe during the season, who have told us
how "dduits (" are lowered from vessels how
cofee-cgfes' are managed in Liverpool; how
| first debuts'' made on second-class railway
carriages, to say nothing of descriptions Of
courtesans," who were by no means neglected
But we really think MALAKoFF stands at this Time
| hueau even Ol - u u Il OrdninaTldIS Will re-
joice at the introduction ofsuch detectives as Richie
lien and 7alleyrdnd; historians will be gratifed Al
the place assigned to Nero, and statesmen of easy
virtue the world over, will find justification fol
their morals in the epthet given to Coun
CAvouR. In fact, we think that Mayor SWAN,
might have improved his speech 10 the dissolut
KEEPER, of which we give q report in anothe
column, had he studied the " adjectives " of tn
Times Town correspondent
