But this ig pot the supreme merit of a paper, Thore who boast of its cheapness must beware of the reply, *Yea; cheap apd poor.’ Tbe main question is, not what coisa bor how many read it, bus what there is to it. The Cistinction before all others isthe abil'y with whlch it is conoucted. And here it ts tbat the admirers of tne English proas claim that it stande “proudly eminent,” leaving bebind all comparison the upstart journals of Awerica.

These who argue for the great superiority of the E-g. heb press slwaye uppcal at once to the aingie example of the London Jimes, the monerch of the newepiper worid.

IH employs the best talent to be founi in the United Kingdom, sod has the best cores pondents in every capital in Earope. if a man im found in KEvgiand who is especially fitted to write articles on India, or China, or Australia, he is imne ojately sudgidized at aby price.

If ‘We May ventures bold opinion, we should say that it te already surpaesed by come of our American journale in several important , pariicolats—in enterprise, In abuod- ance and varicty of news, and even in some degree in that kind of iiterary abilicy—or pernaps we should more etrictly sey versat'ity—which is especially needed in the daily newspaper prees. As to enterprise, it is well known that the Brilith press makes but little uke, ccmparatively, of the electric tele- graph.
