When James Gordon Bennett comes
homeland he is now daily expected
he intends, it is said, to carry out in
the Herald establishment the revolu
ton he has so long threatened. AS
before mentioned, he has repeatedly
expressed dissatisfaction with the class
of men now on his paper, and denoted
his decided preference for clever and
cultivated writer's of both sexes. The
elder Bennett has now been dead near
ly year, and the Herald has since
been under the direct and exclusive
control of the young man. In that
time the paper has been far more
profitable than during any similar
time previous It is said that it has
cleared during the fiscal year ending
the 1st inst, considerably more than
S4O0, 600, and that heretofore an annual
profit of $500, 900 was the maximum.
THE NEW TRIBUNE BUILDING,
of which | have already given a de-
scription, will have frontage on Mas
sau street of about one hundred feet,
with ninety feet on Spruce and twenty
five feet on Frankfort; the association
having purchased the adjoining lot on
Nassau street, twenty-five by thirty
three feet, for one hundred thousand
dollars. The cost of the structure,
which promises to be remarkably hand
some and imposing, will not fall far
short of five hundred thousand dollars,
| and will be begun in two or three
weeks. The office viii not be removed,
as was first contemplated, during the
process of construction, to the Stats
Zeitung, for it has been found practical
bic to issue paper in the rear of the
old building while the front part is
undergoing demolition and rising anew.

A good deal of interest, Judging from
questions asked, seems to be felt for

portionate ownership of the paper
