At the further end of this room is q ma
chine which is used for "wetting down." the
old process of doing this by hand having
been discarded about five years since, and
the machine now in use having been inven-
ted bv an employee in the paper room. BY
this machine 100000 sheets may be wet
down in seven hours with the labor of three
men--the same amount of work which, I'M
der the old process, required the labor OF
twelve men twelve hours.
From this we went up into the press
room, where by this time the evening edi-
ton was being worked off upon two of APP
plegarth's eight cylinder vertical presses,
This is certainly one Of the most beautiful
pieces of machinery | ever saw. -Four pages
of the circular forms are screwed on to an
upright cylinder, which forms the centre of
the huge machine, which, in all its parts, is
about thirty feet in diameter. Then ranged
around platform above, are eight pairs OF
feeding rollers, which take the sheet, and,
conveying it to the cylinders; pass it around
it, and then by means of rollers and tapes
pass it back directly under the feeding
rollers, where it entered, and where the ny
boy sits to take it off. In this way eight
sheets are turned on lfOlu VIC press cfiSu
second and half, amounting to twelve thou
sand five hundred al hour-the two press
es in the morning, in two hours, printing
fifty thousand sheets. These presses have
been in operation since lS48, and have
never been out of order but once, when a
Prussian officer, who was examining one
of them little too mirutely, had the
cape of his cloak caught lii the main cylin-
der, and would himself have followed it
had he not retained sufficient presence of
mind to unclasp his outer garments which
he must have done with lightning like
quickness. As it was, his cloak was torn
into very small rags. There was no sec
ond edition of the Times that day, and the
proprietors were subjected to little bill
of repairs, amounting to G3OO. These
machines cost $4,000 each, and are sup
erintended by the brother Of the INVENTOR
Each one requires sixteen men to feed and
fly it.
In the adjoining room are two of Hoes
ten cylinder presses. These were built in
Manchester, and one has been in use for
two or three years and the other has just
been completed. These are used for print
ing the advertising pages, which go on at
seven O'Clock in the evening, and the first
side of the news, which commences at two
in the morning. These machines cost t6,-
600 each ...

by all respectable dealers throughout the country.
This fine brand of CHAMPAGNE. which until the
past year was confined exclusively to the best TIA
bles of the Continent of Europe, has now obtained
the most unbounded success and popularity in this
country. 1t is recommended by some OF the first
Physicians of the City Of New York over all other
wines, on account of its extreme purity and deli
cucy, and those who once try it rarely use any
other brand. Although only one year has elapsed
since its introduction into this country, the de-
mand is enormous and constantly increasing. Our
arran gements are such to ensure the quality OF
the Wine being maintained its present high STAN
dard. The Prince Imperial is imported solely by
US, we being the sole Agents of Mcssrs. Dc Nenoge
