The rounder of the NEw York Ienabp, who taught the enterprising art of collecting the latest intelligence Trom the four quarters of the globe, and presenting }t every morning to the eye of the reader, has left modern journilism the inheritance of a great jand noble example. He first had the courage to ep out the cumbersome essay and dilettante ommentary from the newspaper columns, and ex- Fes the sagacity that replaced them with stir. ing news, freshly gathered, warm and palpitating ith life, and accompanied with pertinent remark rn of the same spirit. In his hands the modern journal became 8 new social, commercial pnd political power. The whole world was its theme; all peoples datly passed before iv in review ; its concern was only with the movement commeretai and market reports, and tho systom of “sensation” which has become s0 popular and ‘which is now being transplanted into the ape journais. The HERALD he always made emphatically i newspaper, and one complese in every sort of intelligence—religions, , social, esthe' foreign, domestic, casual, criminal, financial and sporting. Me preferred to make it a reflector rather than a leader, of Paton sentiment, and de- voted its enterprising te! more to the ferreting out of news and the ways obtaining news than to a search after power. The bitter lesson of 1833 he pears never foi and the’ world knows well how muoh it as well ns he has Seen the reby. The character of Mr. Bennett was exemplary. He was the object of much vituperatior at various times, but many recorded kindnesses and benevolence will far outweigh all that has been said gainst him. His record is that patient, earnest, sincere, indomitable worker. His labor was for sixty the pcensent and. varied only Py his mar- riage In 1840, and a trip to Eu in 1643, The mighty enterprise which he leaves behind him is a Jasting monument to his memory; and no more eloquent epitaph could be inscribed above his last Tes! place than the familiar words, ‘Tux NEw York HeRaLp.” {From the Boston Transcript, June 8.)

In the death of Mr. James Gordon Bennett, Sr., Me United States has lost its most distinguished most truly representative journalist. There ire two or three other prominent editors, whose will be at once recalled, to whom, at first it, this proud pre-eminence might be cc- by many; but, though they may havo qualied or excelled Mr. Bennett in certain special important respects, they cannot dispute with the palm of general superiority, and they will among@he first to pay a sincere tribute of well Mesorvod praise to the remarkable merite-and abill- es of the departed. Jamosfiordon Bennett was rm at New.

Here young Bennett first Bayw_the light, and amid the beautiful hills and v of Banff, inhabited by a sober and industrious ace, and watered by the romantie and “wind. Ing Isla, he passed the first years of his life. His were Catholics by bg) le and tradition. eir ancestors, the Benoits, ha Esa from France, and became attached to the rain of a nobleman of the house of Gordon, who bstablished his seat in these North of Scotland regions. The future editor remained in school at Keith until he was about fourteen years old, when o went to Aberdeen, where he lived for two or ree years, and was educated for the Church, with his brother Cosmo, ina Catholic seminary. In his ‘youth James was considered a boy of good natural abilities, fond of solitude and reflection, very sen- Bitive on points of honor, generous, self-confident 4 amiable. His habits were uniformly good, un- jess a tendency to make ae be excepted, and ‘his disposition, as shown by extracts from his early records, noble and ambitious. The result of his ruminations became shortly apparent; and the young man, stimulated by the contemplation of Byron, Walter Scott, Benjamin Franklin and Napo- mn, of whom he read, and the preaching of Chal- ers, Whom he frequently heard at Glasgow, de- termined to throw off the yoke ofparental and pedagogic restraint. He did 80 very suddenly, and announced his intention of going to “see the place where Franklin was born.” No a Artie seems to have been offered, and on the Gth of April, 1819, the young adventurer sailed down the Dee with a very small sum of money in his purse and a ver, large sui of determination and hope fulness in his heart. After a tedious passage the vessel arrived at Halifax, and Mr. Bennett began his new life if immediately securing a position as teac! His pay was meagre and his situation disag able, and after a few months of poverty and priva- ‘tion he made his way to Portland and Boston by Bchooner. In thls city he made a halt, and not knowing a single individual he soon found himself ‘without money as well as without employment. One day, while on the verge of starvation, he was strolling on the Common, moody, despafring and almost exhausted, when he happened to find a “York shilling.” Me seized it with alacrity, and at once procured some food. The shilling seemed to be the author of good fortune, for Ina day or two thereafter he stumbled upon & Mr. Wells, & ris man of his, who provided him with Guplormens the printing house of Wells & Lilly, then one of the leading book firms of the country. Hero Mr. Ben- nett, whose office was that of proof-reader, had ex- cellent by 04 peony for self-improvement, which, it is needless to say, he cogeny, made use of. It was in Boston that Mr. Bennett first had his attention attracted to the profession of journalism, then in its infancy. The New England Galaxy, edited by Joseph T. Buckingham, and the Pankee, by John Neal, in Boston; and the National Advo- cate, Commerctal Advertiser and Hvening Post, in ‘New York, were the chief newspapers at that time in the North, and these became the subjects of Mr. Bennett's careful study. He was not long in dis- cerning the future of journalism with mind’s eye, and determined to adopt it as his profession. ith this end in view he went to New York in 1822, and was soon engaged by A. 8, Willington, } oe fad of the Charleston (8. 0.) Courter, On that journal he was employed in 1823, chiefly in makin; translations from the Sparish newspapers received by way of Havana. He returned to New York dur- ing that year, however, and for the next few months made shift to exist by writing for various metropolitan Journals, meanwhile observing and studying the political Lays at under the ad- inistrations of Presidents Monroe and Adams, In 1826 he made his firat attempt to become the roprietor of a newspaper. He purchased from john Tryon the New York Sunday Morning Courier, for which he had been very active as a reporter. The enterprise, however, did not succeed, and in a short time Mr, te bought back the establish- ment. In 1826 Mr. Bennett became counocted with the National Advocate, then a journal of great in- Nuence, and very soon became renowned for the Vigor and pungency of his criticisms and para- | gta He began to be assatied, sneered at for iia foreign birth, and reviled by the opposing press—in a word, began tobofamots * * # It would be useicss and tmpossible to trace tho Various means by which from this small beginnin; the HenALD has risen to its present enviable oak tion in American journalism.

They are eminently proper: be you eminently improper. They are full of device: be you replete with daring. They are inert: be you enterprising. They talk about things: be you athing to be talked about. ‘They solicit readers: do you compel them. They are alike; be you unlike.

The re- sult was the HERALD and success. But through what eccentric stages was it reached! He was robbed, ho was burnt out, he was physically assailed. But his old Scotch Adam made him indomitable, and he saw into the future far as human eye could scan. As a newspaper man Mr. Bennett displayed qualities which have since become the axioms of the profes- sion. He was the man who got all the news—"Get the news” is now the axiom. He waited for no hint or suggestion to comment upon it—“Instant atter- ance” is now the prime necessity. He did the work of four men himself. He who can do that now is the most valuable of the craft. He was editor, para- graphist, reporter, critic, translator, mail reader, poet, itemizer, and he shone in every column, Less quailacations than these will do for Presidents, statesmen, authors, Sadie Henin preachers, pediers, Goatora, storekeepers , dentists, undertakers and like.

He left that coun- try when nineteen years old, reaching Boston pen- niless, and finding employment in a bookstore. He commenced working for newspapers in Charleston, 8. 0., in 1823, and soon developed that remarkable aptitude for journalism which in later years gave him such unexampled success. After welve years of checkered career as a hack writer ‘in Washington, Philadelphia and New York, in 1835 he started the HERALD in accllar in Wall street, asa one cont paper, doing unaided nearly all the labor of editor, publisher and clerk. Since that time the growth of the HERALD has kept pace with the growth of the country, until now In many important particulars it stands at the head of Journalism in America, This wonderful success must be attributed to the consummate tact and management of a man who, when once he found his true sphere, could never be enticed to abandon it by any considerations of public preferment.

Very many fair creatures waved their curls and handkerchiefs to the blue- breasted herocs, who seemed rather red and per- spiring in their impotent struggics at getting the boats under way, which, numbering ten in all, were under tho command of Captain Cook. Five. of these boats were armed with howitzers, under the direction of Lieutenant Commander Ludlow; the other five contained infantry, (skirmishers) under Lientenant Commander Soley. At last, after strenuous efforts from Japanese ‘Katz,'’ who lay in the bow of one tho boats, contented by hugging @ little brass cannon, and after the midshipmen had all taken a long, lingering gtance at the floating hand- kerchiefs and ourls, Captain Cook gave the word “gol and the whole squadron splashed and floun- dered off, one poor little fourth classman getting a punch in the back from a dislocated oar which stowed him away under a seat. The launches then paddled out into the middic of the Severn and there deployed into line, waiting the word of attack, ob- Ject of attack being the Naval School itself. The combat, which was all on one side, there being no repelling party, opened with a brisk howitzer can- nonade; The line then approached shore, let drive another volley and finally effected a landing, the infantry breaking up into skirmishing parties and cracking away at everything in a very promiscuous manner, while the artillery unlimbered and blazed right into the barracks, creating much havoo in governmental window glass. A great many fair Ata meeting of the New York Associated Press yeaterday the following resolutions were adopted :— Resolved, That the members of the Associated Press have recelved with profound sorrow intelil- ence of the death of James Gordon Bennett, the founder and a proprieter, of the New YORK HERALD, and identified with us from the first organization of the New York Associated Press.

Rear Admiral Har anc son. ‘The chapel is a neat, tasteful batiding amply lighted, and has’ Several very handsome memorial stones to departed naval officers. There was such & large collection of fair ones, who did such an un- usual amount of Mipping and fluttering, that it was some time before Commodore Worden could get up the aisle with his distinguished visitors to their seats, placed on a dais at the extremity ofthe hall, At last he managed to seat Secretary Robeson to the right of the reading desk, the orator, Chief Justice Moses, to the left, Engineer Wood to the left of the Justice, and General Robin- son to the left of the Engineer. Commodore Rodgers sat on the extreme right of the party. When the female futtering had partially subsided Adjutant Roper stepped up on the platform and read to the midshipmen the letter from Secretary Robeson, already published, extolling in the high- est terms the gallant conduct of Midshipmen Galt and McLean, who some days since rescued their comrade, Carter, from drowning. Prayer was then sald by the Rev. Mr. Henderson, and Commodore Worden then introduced the speaker to his audl- ence.
