NEWSPAPER REPORTERS lawyer in the Louis
vile Police Court, having eaid some pretty hard
things about the reporters OF OF the daily pa
pers in that city the Journal takes occasion to de-
fend the gentlemen of the press in the following
sensible remarks
In gathering news, it is, Of course, impossible
Tor reporter to have been eyewitness Of every
event. and he must take the. accounts that he gots
from others as the truth. He uses due diligence
to set al the particulars, and takes it for granted
from stupidity OF malice, misleads him, we re-
specially suggest that it is not fair to accuse the
reporter Of Intentionally garbling the facts Of the
ease At the best, it is a hard position. If he
speaks boldly, he o6ends some one If he speaks
guardedly, some one accuses him Of cowardice, or
being bought up not to speak the whole truth. #
he is sentimental he is called fool. If he speaks
in forcible language, he is called blackguard- #
he writes gravely, he is called stupid. If he is
witty, they accuse him Of trying to show of IF he
is fanoifu1 they call him romancist, and say that
he is not reliable. II he confne himself to brief
mention, he is accused of not having brains
enough to write a:good article. In hcf, he car
peck at. So, gentlemen, 20 slow. Don't add to a
reporters troubles by unjust and foolish cen
sures. #~

QUEEN VIoroR1A.-Private letters received from
England confirm melancholy rumors which have
long been in circulation respecting the state
of mind Of the Queen, Insanity is as is
well known, always lurking in the Guelph
blood and none can tell what calamity,
physical or other, may at sny time urge it into
activity There have been several occasions when
it has been supposed tnat the critical moment was
imminent, and that the regal function must needs
Be relegated, Temporarily at least to g regency.
Happily, in each instance so far, her Majesty has
rallied, and the terrible necessity has receded.
Those, however, who know most Of the case are
OF the opinion that the postponement can never be
expected to be permanent, and that an attack NAV
come at any moment which, with lucid intervals,
perhaps, as in case Of George Ill, may attend
Victoria to her grave. The Prince of Wales is now
quite mature enough to be trusted with such reina
of government as English sovereigns are permitted
to handle, but he is still thought rather wild, we
hear Possibly, as in the case Of Harry Monmouth
OF old. the pressure Of great occasion may expel
his faults and make his reputed good qualities
shine forth the more conspicnously. For the sake
OF the British nation, Of which Albert Edward is
the hope, we earnestly hope that such may be the

The Postof6ce Department will soon make
changes in the system BY which letters are nov
registered and forwarded in the mails, so as tc
provide for more certain conveyance Of these
letters, and moro strict accountability Of lost
masters, clerke, &C., to the department for the
packages going through their hands. Referring
to this proposed change, the New York Post re-
marks
Though the adoption Of the money order system
has afforded great and needed accommodation to

with the increase Of postal business: Letters con

to which it is directed or, that is off his route
to another agent, who will convey it onward, in
