Here in a dozen or more low, ancient looking houses, covering perhaps an sere and a half, is paulished the Times, the publishing office being on Play House Yard, the office for re- ceiving ndveitisemenis on one side ol Puinting House Square, tie mana- ges office on another, and the edi- to's rooms on a third.

Waller determined to change le name of his newspaper, su on Jan wary 1, 1788, issu -d the first number of the Times, a four page sheet, a hile larger than the fisst namber of tne Public dedzer, and containing four colums on each page. It was of courxe printed on the old fishioned hand presses. It had many rivals to contend with, dnd gained bat slowly in crcolation, having at the start and until 1808, a sale of 1,000 copies, whilst the London Morning Post is sued 4,500. Daring this year M: Walier gave up ihe paper to his son 1 wiese hands it advanced to a high piace in joncnatism, its start being gained by enterprise in gathering news in Napoteou's wars. On No- vember 2, 1814, the Z.mes was fis! printed by steam power, using th first Boglish steam printing press constiucied by Mv, Konig. and cap abie of working off 1,200 copies per hour. By successive improvements this capaciy was inciessed, and in 1815 there were 4,200 copies per hour printed. The poweifa] articles contributed by Edward Sterling to the Times gained it the well known name of "The Thandever." During this period it gradually increased its size, adding a filth and then a s'xih column to each page, and on Jan, 19 1829, it issued its first double num- ber of eight pages. In 1841, a mem otable event happened in the history of the paper, It used iis great pow- er fo defeat and expose a scheme or ganized bya public compuny to de- fraud, by forgery all the influential bankers of Europe, This brough upon ifie proprietors a long and vex- ations libel. involving them in heavy expenses. Finally tne jay found the charge tcue, bul gave a verdict of only one farlhmg damages. This trial was one of the great events of the time, and subscriptions were set on foot in all parisof Europe to reim- burse the proprietors for their im- mense outlay in defending the action, but this being firmly declined, the mwoaey was expended in founding "Times Scho'aiships® at Oxford, Cambridge and other schools, and marble tablets commemorating the event were setup in the Royal Ex- cliange, in Printing House. Square. and other places. These were the highest honors ever given to an Eu- ropean newspaper, - Subsequently, the paper came into the hands of Mr. Jobu Walier, grandson of its founder. In 1845 ihe Times estavlisbed an ov- eiland express (rom lodia for the converunce of news, used rotary printing machines, those of Applega:h, and in 1852 ils average daily cirenlation was 80,000, whilst of the nuniber of November 16, 1852, ixsued after the death of the Dpke of Wellington, and containing his bi- ography, 56.000 copies were sold. -- In 1854 Dr. Russell was employed us spec 8l correspondent in the Crimea, 'and wrote the letters that made him famous.

In 1861, the daily ulation had increased to 54,000 copies, over 18 000,000 copies being issued during thoyear. At this time tie Times began occasionally issuing quadruple Sheets of twenty. pages to accommodate its buginess, und on June 22, 1861, it issued a sextuple sheet of twenty four pages, contuin- ing besides the reading matter 4,076 d ferent advertisements, quite an in crease over its modest numbuev of 150, fifty vears before in 1811.

The The importance of the mariage is in- dicyted by the mass of elaborate sci unics that had to be set aside to accomplish it. She, a veiled nun, had become a wile for this great object. It was supposed to be a fulfilment of Edward the Confissor's lasi pro- phetie anologue, in which he des- cribed the return of the severed branch of the parent tree, Henry's own sepolcinal abbey at' Reading was built by him, chiefly to expatiate his father's sins against the English.

Colors in costumes aie more gay, and altogether more diversified than formerly ; and there is still a prefer- ence for black or white and also for The buff, which looks like dead gold. Black has survived even the heat of the summer weather, and appears in all the thin materials--Grenadine, crepe, barege-- with a persistence that shows how an idea sticks in the mind, even in fashions, when it once obtains a hold. It 1s not, however, so fashionably The ruffles of the materials are edged with narrow fringe, or they are made of silk into ruchiugs, notched out upon the edge: Straw trimming, straw fiinge, or straw brft'ds ate not a novelty upen thin black suits, but they are consid. ered very distinguished. .

A gt€at deal of money has been lost in them at any rate, during the past eighteen months.

The Bible and Literature. I""Pho.Edinburgh Review, referring to the space which the Bible occu- pies in the hintory of literature, Says: 'We see nothing like it, and it may well perplex the ibfidel to account for it; nor nced his sagucity disdain to enter a little moge deeply into its possible' causes has usnally inclined to do. It has mot been given to any other book of religion th triomph over national pre- j "and lodge itself securely in ing by every conceivable diversity of language, race, manners, customs, and indeed agreeing in nothing but a veneration of itself. It adants itself with felicity to tke revolutions of thought and feeling which shake to pieces all things else, and flexibly accomodates itself to the progress of society and the changes of civilization. Even conquests-- the disorganizations of old nations, the formation of vew--do not effect the continuity of its empire. It lays bold of the new us of the old, and transmigrates with the spirit of humanity, attracting to itself by its own moral power in all the com- munities it eniers a ceaseless intensi- ty of effort for its propagation, illustration and defence. Other sys- tems of religion are usually delicate exotics, and will not bear trans-- plantiag; but if the bible be false, the facility with which it overleaps the otherwise impassible boundaries of race and clime, and domicil'ates itself among so many different nations, is assuredly a far more strik- ing and wonderful proof of human ignorance, perverseness and stupidi- ty, than is afforded in the limited prevalence of even the most abject superstitions; or if it really has merits, though a fable, have erabled it to impose so comprehensively and variously on mankind, wondeifal indeed must have been the skill in its composition, so wonderful that even the infidel himself ought never to regard it but with the profoundest reverence as far too successful aud sublime a fabrication to admit a thought ot scoff and ridicule.
