DEATH OF THE LONDON CHRONICLE.-The
London Chronicle, one Of the oldest newspa.
pers in the English language, has just died, in
Its Goth year. The Post, in an obituary of it's
late contemporary, says:
1t was in the Morning Chronicle that Sir
Philip Francis-or somebody else-under a
Well-preserved incogIitO, gave to the world
the Junius Letter, the fame of which has not
been confined to those countries where the
English language is spoken. These letters ap-
peared in the Chronicle during the term Of Of
flee ofits first editor, Woodtall, who intro
duced into his paper the custom of regularly
reporting the debates in Parliament,a a new fea-
ture in English journalism at the time. Wood
fall was considered "a recklessly brave per-
son" for having given publicity to the ideas of
Junius, Burke, Fox and Sheridan. Tom Moore,
Campbell, Goldsmith, Byron, and Dickens
may also be numbered in the brilliant array
of writers for "the good old whig of the
Strand" Mr.. Cooke, one Of its last editors,
having become a convert to Puseyite doc
triDes, labored valnly to infuse vitality into
the falling fortunes of the paper, which had
been published at a loss for some time. Ser
geant Glover's efforts to sustain it were eq ual-
ly vigorous and equally unsuccessful. Thus,
after career OF ninety years, the Morning
Chronicle disappears from the list Of British
Journals.
