MAINING in the IPostoffice at the end of each week is pxiblished offi? cially in T H E DAILY-NEWS every Friday morning. "LOCAL MATTERS. TaANKsamna DAT.-To-day having boen ap? pointed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer, both by the President of tho Unitod States and the City Fathers, no paper will bo issued fr om this offico until Saturday morning. It han been always cus? tomary, heretofore, for the city to celebrate its own thanksgiving day separate from that of the Union or of tho State, but wo suppose our wiso men considered that wo Were too poer at present to sparo two days from work, and that, therefore, it was best to lump tho business. Tho principal food for reflection on thanksgiving day. in a na? tional point of view, will bo, that, ?bad as things aro, they might have boon a great de?:l worso; but, municipally speaking, our cansos for gratitude aro much more positive. Thc city has been sparod the visitation of any fatal epidemic at a time when we had every reason to expect and dread such a catastrophe, and we aro gradually-and, in somo respects, rapidly-regaining a prosperous and peaceful condition. When another year rolls round vre hope that the merging of the national and the city thanksgiving days into one may be more ap? propriate. THE POSTOFFICE will be open this day from 8 o'clock to 10 o'clock A. M., and from 5 o'clock to 6 o'clock P. M. . -O-; WE ABB under obligations to tho Purser of the steamer Dictator for Savannah papers; also to Capt. MCNELTY, of the steamer Pilot Boy, for favors.

NOVEMBER 29-THE FERST NEWSPAPEB PRINTED BY STEAM.-Doubtless but few of our readers are aware that printing newspapers by steam was first, accomplished so recently as November 29,1814. The edition of the London Times of that dato was the first ever printed by a steam press. The hand press could seldom strike off more than 300 im? pressions an hour, and it was a tedious and labori? ous job to get off tho 1000 copies of,which tho daily issue of the Times at that period consisted. It was the second Mr. JOHN WALTER, son of the first and father of tho present proprietor of the Times, who made this innovation on the old routine of tho office. He took charge of the paper in 1803, and ithe very next year he employed one THOMAT MABT ZEB to construct an automatic press, but for va? rious reasons tho scheme at that time wont through, and it was not until 1814 that K?NIG, a Saxon, succeeded in perfecting a steam press that was used to print the Times for November 29. The following account of the event is taken from a rare biography of the three WALTEBS: Owing to the opposition of the pressmen, K?nig was not allowed to try hia experiment in th< office, but tho form was taken to another bi and an iinusually large edition successful! ed. The pressmen had threatened destru? the in von tor and hia machino, becauso t' lievod it would throw them out of emplo As a raso to keep thom from suspecting tl Hiing unusual was going on, they we) to wait for expected news from the coi It was about six o'clock in tho ,.iorning wi: Walter wont into the press room and a ste ita occupants by tolling them that the Tim already printed by steam; that if they atti violenco there was a force ready to^suppi but that if they wore peaceable thoir wages bo continued to every ono of thom until employment could be found for them. The iso wasidoubtleas faithfully performed, and so said be distributed several copies among The Times next morning, of course, h editorial crowing over tho result of their prise, and explaining to thou- readers tho 1 snd principle of the aelf-acting printing mi A half century has rolled by since then, ti now havo steam presses as far superior to B automaton &B that waa to tho old hand ma but until wo have a completo automatic type wo shall never again havo such a sensation printing business as was created by the first press. . --o MAYOR'S COURT, Wednesday morning, Nov 28.-No less than sixteen white men an colored man were charged with smoking c wharvos. All of tho white mon who could bo wero fined in sums of from $2 to $5. Tho ci individual suffered in the latter amount. Ou lant policemen are calling the attention c public in an emphatic manner to tho ordi against smoking on tho wharves, and his 1 tho Mayor is determined to onforco tho penal' the law against all violators of thc saine. An Englishman, overcome .by vinous potat had made his pallet, in East Bay, oppositi Custom-House, where be was waked by tho of a star shining in his eyes.
