At the recent trial of twenty-inch guns at Fort Ham- ilton @ range of four miles was attained with a projeo- tie weighing 1,080 pounds, The Public Health in New York and Brook- lyn. According to the interesting report of Dr. Harris on the mortality of New York and Brooklyn for the week ending Saturday, April 13, there were but 407 deaths in this city, including 68 in the public institutions, 36 being in the island hospitals and asylums, while in Brooklyn there were only 122 deaths, exclu- sive of Kings county institutions. Dr. Harris finds that the mortality in New York was equivalent to a yearly death rate of 26.56 per 1,000, and in Brooklyn to 21.46 per 1,000. These death rates, he adds, compare favorably with those of the great capitals of foreign countries, The rate in London for the week ending March 16 was 27 per 1,000 (in a popu- lation estimated at 3,037,999), 33 in Edjnburg, 80 in Dublin, 33 in Liverpool, 33 in Glasgow and (the previous week) 34 in Vienna. It should be remembered, however, that the actual weekly death rate at our healthiest sea- son of the year, from April to the 1st of July, is by no means a sure criterion of the annual death rate, which, we fear, would not compare 80 favorably as Dr. Harris imagines with that of some of the foreign cities mentioned by him. The ground plan of the streets in New York unhappily favors disease. Both east winds and west winds have full sweep across the town—the former causing and multiplying lung complaints, and the latter colds, catarrhs and feverish chills. Moreover, the task of Hercules in cleansing the Augean stables was light in com- parison with that of thoroughly cleansing and disinfecting certain districts in our metropolis. Thus the streets on the east side, below Eighth street, are filled in summer with an intolerable and deadly stench from walls and pavements sodden and reeking with animal exhalations from overcrowded tenement houses. The only possible permanent remedy for these pest houses is their total demolition ; they should be burned or razed to the ground. So fatal are the consequences of these two causes alone, the direction in which our cross-streets run and the pestiferous condition of nearly all the tenement houses, that we doubt whether New York shows a yearly mortality any less in proportion than New Orleans, notwithstand- ing the malarial and icteric diseases preva- lent in the Crescent City. Still the statistics of Dr. Harris show, on the whole, a satisfactory condition of the public health of New York and Brooklyn at present. We have only to express # hope that the Metropolitan Board of Heaith will not relax their efforts, and that these will be seconded by the vigilance of the medical profession and by the common sense and prudence of the citizens at large. In view of the approaching heat of summer and the Swelling tide of emigration, those precaution- ‘ry measures which experience has proved largely effectual in guarding against the most dreaded effects of an infection or morbid pol- son should not only be continued but re- doubled. While we rejoice in our freedom from the apprehensions excited at this time last year by the cholera, let us be well forti- premmmemaes ik a plieass Ghaner armoured tae wy - God exninst iio nosaible attacks next summer, Tho Herald, Past and Preseut. “We are again in the field, larger, livelier, better, prettier, saucier and more independent than ever.” Nearly thirty-two years ago, when the Henatp, still in ite infency, but full of strength and promise, removed its publication office to Broadway, this was its greeting to the public in its first issue from its new establish- ment. The change then made was neither voluntary nor permanent, It was forced upon us by a calamity. The element of fire drove us from our original quarters on Ann street and compelled us to seek a new abiding place. Today we again send forth our first issue from a new establishment on Broadway. But this time the change is permanent, and transfers the Humatp to one of the most sub- stantial, unique and complete newspaper offices in the world. If anything can conflict with the idea of the change being strictly voluntary, it is the fact that the increase of our business and the development and expansion of enterprise in every department of the Paper have compelled us to seek greater space and more complete accommodations. Asa new era commences to-day in the his- tory of the Hzgatp it is appropriate to glance backwards from this standpoint at its past career. We reproduce for this purpose the first words the Heratp ever uttered to the public, and its greeting in its first issue after rising from the ashes of the great Ann street conflagration. We invite attention to those articles—first, that the progress we have made may be measured by the predictions of thirty- two years ago, and, again, that our acts may be judged by the standard of the professions with which we started in the field of jour- nalism. An important reforn bears date from the birth of the Hzrarp in 1835—the establishment of a thoroughly independent press, free from political cliques, avoiding all entangling alli- ances, ignoring individual schemes and inter- ests, and devoting all its energy, ability and resources to the publication of full and reliable news of every description from all parts of the world. The end and aim of the Hzraup may be summed up ina brief sentence—to make &@ newspaper and not an organ. We began life upon a small scale, and for years our failure\was constantly predicted by those with whose comfortable inanity our enterprise interfered. At one time a “moral war” was waged against us, All the envious slow-coach journals entered into a holy alliance to break down the Hznato, re- fusing to allow the names of any persons or firms advertising in its columns to appeat in their papers. But business men had already discovered that one advertisement in the Heratp was worth a dozen in each of the allied journals, and the result was a rapid in- crease in our business and the ignominious failure of the war. Still, the Henatp was always said to be “going down,” and was con- . stantly threatened with eclipse by some new rival; but all the time it continued to go up and to defy competition, until at last it has reached the position of the leading newspaper of the world, and occupies a building that has nowhere its superior in convenience, com- pleteness or architectural beauty. A daily paper in 1835, and for years after- wards, was a very different affair from a daily paper in 1867, Wo glance at the pioneer num- ber of the Henatp, and we find a small sheet containing in all thirty-two advertisements. We refer to a date just three months afterwards, and the advertising covers nine columns of the sixteen then forming the paper. As we turn the files we diver the rapid increase of biisiness that compelled from time to time the enlargement of the sheet, until we reach September, 1840, when we find one-third added to its tormer size, and sixteen columns out of twenty-four filled by our advertisers. And so we trace the steady advance of this branch of the business of the establishment until the present hour, when triple sheets are a daily necessity, and when forty and forty-five columns are frequently devoted to the public wants. Nor is the progress made in this de- partment confined to the increase in the num- ber of advertisements. The system has under- gone a most important reform Our adver- tising columns are now as close, compact and orderly as a crack regiment on parade. There is s place for everything, and everything isin its place. No rambling and searching is needed to find what may be re- quired. Each interest is classified under its appropriate head, and so systematically ar ranged as to be discoverable immediately. In the matter of news, how great the change wrought by the progress of science and the achievements of enterprise in half a lifetime ! A few years ago the old, lumbering mails alone brought us our letters and exchanges, News in four, six and sometimes eight days from Washington was read eagerly in the New York daily papers. Correspondence from the psin- cipal points in Europe a month old was fresh indeed, Then the prosperous towns and cities of our Western States were fur-away wilder ness, where @ daily paper was rarely seen, Now the Heratp every morning lays before its readers intelligence only a few hours old from every quarter of the world. Science bas swept the Atlantic Ooean from the earth, so far as the transmission of news is con- cerned, and linked the two continents together in communication as close and instantaneous as that of the Siamese twins, There is not an interes however important or immaterial, that does not find daily in the columns of the Hurawp something in which it has » share. The railroads now carry our paper to the far West more rapidly than the old stage coaches were wont to convey it a few miles; and in distant cities, which have only been for & few years within the bounds of civilization, the Henatp is now read on the morning after its publication. In the progress of the press the Hmraup has performed an important part. Its spirit and enterprise in obtaining news spurred other journals on to a combination of capi- tal, which led to the establishment of the Associated Press. It first commenced the money market and commercial re- ports that now form so important « feature in oity journalism. The Hanatp originated the policy of making fall and faithful reports of trials, as in the Helen Jewett murder case, and refused to conceal the part of any in- dividual, however wealthy or influential, in offences against the laws of the country. In the Mexican war our special news and graphic descriptions of battles were so far in advance of anything ever before accomplished in the United States that the country was astounded and the rival press was driven to the verge of insanity. To-day the Huratp can boast as large and intelligent a corps of spe- cial correspondents, and as varied, late and reliable news as any newspaper in the world. Have the early predictions of the Hzratp as to its progress and success in the then fa- ture been fulfilled? In August, 1835, these were its words :— We started to reach a daily issue of twenty thousand ; we restart now to rise to twenty-five thousand circulation before we stop.” We can smile at the mod- esty of our ambition, now that we issue daily over one hundred thousand copies of the Hmratp. If each paper is read by an average of ten persons the Heratp reaches the eyes of over a million people every day, and thus forms the greatest and most effective advertising medium in the worl d. How faithfully has the Hsrato, in its thirty- two years of existence, carried out its early professions? Let us see. It disclaimed all blind adherence to party and refused to be the organ of any faction. It announced that it would express its opinions freely and inde- pendently on all public questions and public men, and that it would hold every sdminis- tration to a faithful discharge of its trust. A few references to leading events will at this time suffice to show how well the Hxeratp has fulfilled these pledges. In 1852 we supported poor Pierce for the Presidency, and after his eleo- tion used our influence to make his adminis- tration a success. We felt a natural pride in accomplishing such a result; but we soon found that his imbecility was « fatal stumbling block, and, foreseeing the dangers into which it was drifting the country, we repudiated him and cast him overboard, where he soon sunk beneath the waves of public contempt. We ‘were opposed to the nomination and elec:: tion of James Buchanan ; but after his inaust- ration we gave his administration a fair trial, and a friendly support. It was impossible, however, to make « capable statesman ont of the old Public Functionary; and when we saw that he was as pliable as new dough in the hands of the sharp, shrewd and unscrupulous politicians of the South, and that the coun- try was running rapidly on to the rocks of disunion under his feeble and impotent administration, we d enounced him as he deserved to be denounced. When President Jobnson assumed the reins of gov- ernment we did our beat to enable him to hold them witha steady hand, and to drive safely over the rough road of reconstraction. But he recklessly turned out of the proper track, upset his vehicle and left himself and his friends sprawling in the mud and the mire. There we left him and gave our assistance to Congress, to enable it to repair damages and continue the journey in safety to a happy termination. And in this we believe we may congratulate ourselves and the country upon having accomplished a success. These few instances, which might be multiplied many times, will be sufficient to show how the Hepatp has ever ignored men and parties when either have come in conflict with the public good. The change from the old Hzratp buildings, which we have occupied for the last twenty- four years, to the new, was effected last night, quietly, safely and without accident or mishap. In former years, when we moved our office of publication, we were compelled to suspend for a day or more in order to get setiled in our new quarters. Now our resources are such that we have transferred from one building to another our whole immense establishment in few hours, and without delaying by a single minute the regular issue of oar paper. But for the deserted appearance of the old corner and the life and activity about the new build- ing, no one would know that the Huratp, with its vast business, diversified interests, powerful machinery and army of employ¢s, had made ins single night a change in its place of publication. On reading the articles we reproduce to-day from the Heratn of 1835, and comparing their promises and predictions with the present condition of tho Heratp in ite new building, it will be seen how vastly the reality has exceeded the anticipation. Judging the present from the standpoint of the past. what prophecy for the future will be considered wild and extrava- gant? When we say that in a few years we expect to receive daily despatches from Lon- don, Paris, St Petersburg, Berlin, &., and daily quotations of tea from Hong Kong by the wires running into our own office; and when we anticipate being able before we are mach older to deliver the Hnatmdaily to sub- scribers in Washington, Richmond, Cincinnati and St. Louis a few minutes after publication, by pneumatic express, are we to be regarded @ dreamer and a visionary? Let us wait and gee. (From the Morwmre Hmratp, May 5, 1835.) James Gordon Bennett commences this morn- ing the publication of the Moxwmva Hmmatp, o new daily paper, price $3a year, or six cents per week, advertising at the ordinary rates. It is issued. from the publishing office No. 20 Wall street, and also from the printing office No. 34 Ann street, third story, at both of which places orders will be thankfully received. The next number will be issued on Monday morning—this brief suspension necessarily taking place in order to give the publisher time and opportunity to arrange the routes of carriers, organize a general system of dis- tribution for the city, and allow subscribers and patrons to furnish correctly their names and residences, It will then be resumed and regularly continued. $ In the commencement of an enterprise of the present kind it is not necessary to say much—“we know,” says the fair Ophelia, “what we are, but know not what we may be.” Pledges and promises in these enlightened times are not exactly so current in the world as safety fund notes or even the United States Bank bills, We bave had an experience of nearly fifteen years in conducting newspapers. On that score we cannot surely fail in know- ing at least how to build up a reputation and establishment of our own. In débuis of this kind many talk of principle—political prin- ciple—party principle—as a sort of steel trap to catch the public. We mean to be perfectly understood on this point, and therefore openly disclaim all steel traps—all principle, as it is called—all party—all politics. Our only guide shall be good, sound, practical common sense, applicable to the business and bosoms of men engaged in every-day life. We shall support no party—be the organ of no faction or coterie, and care nothing for any election or any candidate, from President down to a constable. We shall endeavor to record facts, on every public and proper subject, stripped of verbiage and coloring, with comments when suitable, just, independent, fearless and good tempered. If the Henatp wants the mere ex- pansion which many journals possess we shall try to make it up in industry, good taste, brevity, variety, point, piquancy and cheap- ness, It is equally intended for the great masses of the community—the merchant, me- chanic working people—the private family as well as the public hotel—the journeyman and his employer—the clerk and his principal. There are in this city at least one hundred and fifty thousand persons who glance over one or more newspapers every day. Only forty-two thousand daily sheets are issued to supply them. We have plenty of room, therefore, without jostling neighbors, rivals or friends, to pick up at least twenty or thirty thousand for the Heratp, and leave something for others who come after ts, By furnishing a daily morning payet ata low price, and making it at the atiie time equal to any of the high priced Papers for intelligence, good taste, sagacity 8nd industry, there is not a person in this city, male or female, that may not be able to say— “Well, I have got a paper of my own, which will tell me all about what’s doing in the world; I’m busy now, but I'll put it into my pocket and read it at my leisure.” With these few words asa “grace before meat” we commit ourselves and our cause to the public, with perfect confidence in our own capacity to publish a paper that will seldom pall on the appetite, provided we receive moderate encouragement to unfold our re- sources and purposes in the columns of the (From the Heratp, Aug. 31, 18 35.] We are again in the field, larger, livelier, better, prettier, saucier and more independent then ever, The ae street conflagration con- sumed types, prosibs, manuscript, paper, some bad poetry, subscription bogkg—al] she out ward material appearance of the Heratp ; but its soul was saved—its spirit as exuberant as ever, From the past we augur well for the fature. In the first six weeks of its existence the Hzratp reached nearly the extraordinary circulation of seven thousand per day and a cor- responding amount of advertising patronage. We started then to reach adaily issue of twenty thousand in a period of six or nine months— wwe restart now to rise to twenty-five thousand daily circulation before we slop. This is no astronomi- cal dream—no Herschel discovery in the moon. Tt can be done; and if industry, attention, resolution and perseverance can accomplish the feat under the encouraging smiles of a kind public, the Hxratp shall do it. Woe are organ- ized on a better footing than formerly—have it entirely under our own control, and have ar- ranged our carriers and routes in such a way that, as we think, a week will make us go like & plece of ingenious clockwork. In other respects we trust we shall please the public. Avoiding the dirt of party politics, we shall yet freely and candidly express our opinion on every public question and public man. We mean also to procure intelligent correspondents in London, Paris and Washing- ton, and measures are already adopted for that purpose. In every species of news the Hanatp will be one of the earliest of the carly. Our Wall street reports, which were so highly ap- by every business man in the city, and extensively throughout the country, we shall enlarge and improve to 9 considerable extent. The former Heratp, from ite large circulation among business people down town (being larger in that respect than any paper in the clty), had » very rapid increase of adver- tising patronage. We expect that the reno- vated Harato will far outstrip its predecessor. Our position at 202 Broadway is admirably central—more so than even in Wall street. Several merchants and auctioneers are prepar- ing to advertise in the Henaty, They are be- ginning to find out that a brief advertisement in our sheet is seen and read by six times as many as it would be in the dull prairies of the Courier and Enquirer. On the whole, and “to conelnde,” as Dog- berry did not sey, we bid our former kind friends and patrons a hearty, a cheerful and Pleasant good morning; and we hope that while we give them a regular call to have @ little chat over their coffee and muffins, we may often see them at 202 Broadway when they have any small thing to do, cheap and good, in the advertising line, or any hint or curious piece of information to communicate to the public—barring always discoveries in astrone my, which our friends of the Sun monopolize. The Religious Anniversaries. The period. is close at hand when the va» rious religious denominations will hold thei anniversary meetings in our city. More attes tion will be given to their city and police officers are not as extravagant in their expectations as out legislators; but they have equally their price. Take as evi-~ dence of the fact the statement of the counter- feiter Ulrichs, in the recent confession which he made to Marshal Murray. He asserts that he paid as bush money to New York detective officers and deputy marshals in the course of his operations about $19,000, besides altering stolen watches for them so as to destroy their identity. It is notorious that the railroad pickpockets also have the detectives in their pay, and the shooting of a burglar has just brought to light the agreeable fact that the members of that amiable confraternity have brothers and other near relatives in the force. In the churches religion itself seems to have fallen through. Instead of the saving of souls the parsons are applying themselves to the saving of politicians. When we enter the churches of such shining lights as Dra. Tyng and Henry Ward Beecher we hear, instead of the sighs, and groans of repentant sinners, the uproarious applause and unmeasured laughter that mark the perfofmances at a notorious theatre, There is no longer a question of great preach- ing and furious praying. It has all given place to political abuse and clerical buffoonery,, In short, the vices and the degeneracy that brought down the Divine wrath om Sodom ané Gomorrah find not only their counterpart ia the immorality prevailing among us, but are. far transcended by it. ; Need we say that in such s condition of things many will welcome with us the infla- ence of the approaching anniversaries? It will fall upon us like that of the oasis in the desert, We have been so long engaged in the work of fighting, killing and stealing that we thirst for & change of some kind, The truth fs that so far as our actual status is concerned, it is doubt- ful whether the Penitentiary ia not = more moral establishment than either the Legisla- ture or Congress. In the former men work and do penance; in the latter they sin with- out repenting, and, in fact, rather exult at thelr misdeeds, There is in all this 9 fine field for the labors of the parsons who will be crowd- agrees The Noiseless Revolution—Finance—The Presa In the whirligig of time it is a study of pe- culiar interest to note how periods differ one from another as to the relative importan they will concede to any given fact in composite mass of human society; how the giant of one age becomes the pigmy of the next, and how what was smallest in men’s thoughts grows till, like the product of the mustard goed, it fills the heavens, But a few centuries ago and what a pleture of life in hid-' den places and vile dens was conjured up by the words “Jew,” “monty changer.’ How the class, stooped down as if from the chronie habits of diving through doors not half high enough, crept in and out of the obscure haunts in which it dwelt, and counted and hid its golden pieces. And the age has come, and the money changer, typified by names like Rothschild, stands up tremendously well in the world. He transacts his business in such im- mense banking houses as fill the Wall streets of civilization—in our own city, in London, in Paris, in Frankfort—et sequitur, he is the axis of all modern movement—the solar centre of our system. All commerce and trade, manu- factures, discovery, wars, the existence of na- tions, depend upon the will and the word of the great financial sovereignty which is only this age’s development of the once obscure money changer. Com; recent times have seen @ similar revolution in the history of the press. The better journals even were sheets of pitiful appearance and pitifal position, living feebly on business announcements and small ssle, the news colamns filled with paltry scraps of local information and meagre statements of what was going on in the world at large. Such alleys and in the out-of-the-way corners of the world generally. Now s good newspaper is fi grest power in the world. Affording the medium of intellectual intercourse for whole nations, it makes s common standard of in- formation and intelligence. It is the great educator, and is fast becoming and must become, as the expression of the national ex- and wisdom, the great governor of the people. The establishments from which sach sheets emanate have changed as greatly 5 the sheets themselves, As the type of a great newspaper establishment of this age we would cite that from which the Heratp is now issued. Another splendid newspaper establish- ment, quite ap to the time, is that of the Ledger, in Philadelphia. Harpers’ Building, in Frank- lin square, indicates what is being done by the periodical press, and we are glad to hear of @ promise from Mr. Bonner to give his Ledger @ setting worthy of its fame. Comoe on, gentle men: plenty of roqm ap the hiaher level. ee iééé..44....... yy
