are eighteen young wonien at the Victoria

as compositors, and there are bat three men
employed in training and clicking for these
apprentices. In the press-roo men only
are employed. as that branch of the business
is unsuitable for women. The Victoria Press
Is already set-surporling, which think is
even a better Vroot Of its real success than
the raIidly increasing supply Of work, which
comes lrnn all parts OF the country, as well
as London. We are about TO publish vol

permission to her Majesty the Queen, and un-
der her especial patronage, MS perfect spec
