The New York correspondent of the Hart.
ford Eoening Press has the following in rela-
ton to prominent metropolitan newspapers:
The Tribune hear is soon to be enlarged.
The World ere long will be enlarged to the
full size of its turtles" This is doubtless due
to the increase in size of the Times, which
now gives far more reading matter than any
one OF its contemporaries, and Is consequent
ly cutting into them to very perceptible ex-
tent. "The Times is killing us" remarked the
managing editor of the World few days
since. The Herald has already announced
that it is to be enlarged, Mr.. Junius Browne
of Southern prison memory, is soon to vacate
the position OF city editor on the Tribune to
accept OF birth in connection with the
Tines Mr.. Colburn, the correspondent of
the st. Louis Republican, who made the al
legged libel charges against Mr.. A. I. Stewart,
has been discharged from the position of as
sistant editor of the Tribune.
Report says this has been done in response
to the solicitations of Mr.. Stewart. 1t is un-
derstoo6 that James Gordon Bennett, Jr. has
assumed the control of the Herald, in place of
Mr.. Hudson, compelled to retire for a season
ON account of i'll health. The World is not
conducted with the ability, unscrupulous
though it was, which characterised it during
the spring, summer and autumn months. VIII
and facetious editorials which enlivened its
columns, has been absent for some time in
Mexico, rumor says on business connected
with the imperialists. A letter appears from
him in to-day's World dated Vera Cruz. The
World has been far too partisan in its charac
ter, ard, we are not surprised to learn, is
dropping off in its circulation. The truth is
Manton Marble has not sufficient ballast and
principle to be at the head of so large an es-
III l. A
and shamelessly sell his principles to the high
est bidder, cannot be expected to succeed as )
moulder Of public opinion.
The course of the Ecening Post in warmlv
adopting and supporting all the views and the
ories put forth by the President has OCCASION
ed considerable surprise. Though still having
the management of the paper, William Cui.
len Bryant writes but very little. The Post
editorials are mainly the work of Parke Cod
win, Mr.. Bryant's son-in-law, and Charles
Wordhoh, who gave up the editorial SUPER
vision OF Hdrpers Magazine in 1860, to ac-
cept OF an editorial position on the Post
Inc numerous free trade articles in the Com
naercidt Advertiser, which are attracting con-
siderable attention, are from the pen of Chas
Moran, Esq, formerly President of the Erie
Railroad, man of much research and travel
The Nation is daily increasing in value and
circulation, and promises to fill want long
felt by educated Americans. The late num-
bers do not compare unfavorably with the
London Spectator and the Saturday Rerie,o.
The Round Table, on the contrary, continues
to heap abuse right and left, and is in fact am
Ishmael in journalism, with its hand turned
against everybody. This weekly has injured
itself very much in public estimation by sup
porting the cause of the Imperialists in Mexi-
CO. Mr.. Hurlburt, alluded to above as having
gone to that country, has been one OF the con-
tributors to the paper.
