They reti thanks to th?^r?tirin? editor, General Juo. Wagener, who, with his customary energy ? ability, had resuscitated the journal and c ducted it up to the present time. They mr no general, declaration of principles, as tl are but temporary helmsmen, and tl prudently remark that tb ry cannot < what they will sa/ or do, as they not know themael7ea. The Zeitung ia to made a thorough newspaper, and while it T show the current of opinion, it will not hesita to oppose the popular will where truth a principle require it. The object of the Zeitu is not political. It ia tied to no party, and v be steadfastly directed to securing thc go and happiness of the city and State. All sho comings the editors desire may be laid to tb inexperience, and not to their want of go. will. We regret that the connection of Gen. Wa easr with the Zeitung should have been d solved,/and to oar German con tem po ra: under ita oe iv leaders, wish the fullest measu of success. . - ST.

Mr. Summer has fi soma time been engaged in the prosecution < this work; the honda were removed, and tl whole internal machinery taken oat and risa: ed. Several important wheels were found to t badly worn, and had to be replaced with ne ones. The clock had not bea a cleaned fe over twenty "years, and the dust bad settle so thickly on the works in that time th: it was found impossible to pat it in rm ning order as speedily as hal been hoped A survey was taken on Saturday by em? eral gentlemen who are interested in ht progress of the work, and Mr. Summer ix pressed himself confident of his ability to tn .lah his undertaker- by the first of Aug et Some little change will be mode ia tbe arrange' ment o., th :? bells, but the difference wiil tot be noticeable.

A coroner's inquest waa helli, and the Baltimore Sun saya: -The evi? dence was to tile effect that the 6ea Gall bad been warned s hundred yards away ot the danger of collision, but disregarded .t. The pilot kept on bia way and submerged the boat, which waa unable to get ont of danger on ac? count of haring in tow a apar. Several gen? tlemen in a boat close by also warhail them of the appr ;bonded collision, and their notice was disregarded; The steamer waa raming at the impetus pf twenty revelations, cd* her wheel m a minute. The jury returned a verdict as follows: -Cum o to his death by being rna over oy the steamer Sea Gall, in the Baltimore har? bor, through groas negligence of her of cers."' Thia verdict was rendered upon ex parie statements. Captain Dutton and bis officers hid no opportunity of giving their evidence, which would have been c sufficient disproof of the allegations of carelessness and negligence. The following card from Captain Dutton con? tains tho facts cf the cass: Oa Saturday, Jone 20, while the "Sea Gull" was leaving tho port ot Baltimore for this city, and when off Locust Point, the man on the lockout -reported a boat ahead, which was BO close aboard os not to be seen from the pilot house. As a precaution, however, three or four blasts were blown with the Bteam whistle, the helm was put bord a port, and the 'Sea Gui." stopped. This, it appeared, did not have the desired effect, for those in tho boat altered their course, and pulling back, brought their boat a rain under the bow of the' Baa Gail," at a time when I supposed her to be clear. Seeing the situation, and probably be? coming frightened, ono of tbe two men in the boat jumped overboard before coming in con? tact with the steamer, sad, as I have been informed, waa unfortunately drowned. The other, who remained in tbe boat, caurrht the -'Sea Gulis" bow as she came slowly along, and while there a rope was hove over to bim, which bo appeared not to notice, bnt letting go, passed astern, and was taken off by ano? ther boat-the "Sea Gull'' remaining compara? tively still ail this time. Fad the unfortunate man remained in the boat with the other, bia lifo would have been certainly saved. A spar, which was being towed by the bo i tm en, was sank andor water, and was not Bren bv any ono oa board tho '-Sea Gull" until arter'the colli 8 ion. Ihe menin the boat gave no warning, nor did say other boat's crew previous to tie , ioliiBion. N.-P.

There's nothing like it bi town, nd probably it is fortunate for the inhabit ants thereof that there ia not; for if anything calculated to provoke a diabolical nightmare is the impossible events depicted upon that ii probable b a ckgro und, in c piora that would ma a rainbow blush for its reputation. The tra< tion of the place furnishes no explanation the extraordinary scenes which the artist h sought to preserve. The architecture unique, the costumes antique, and the dec* being done very tragique. The perspective frightful: the figures have a vindictive asp? and the subject g?n?rer ally is "grand, g lo on and peculiar." There is nothing like it < thia side of the water ; and if it has au origin m the old country, it must either be : Amsterdam, Rotterdam, or some other "dan place to deponent unknown. They do whispi that when the Irenen Coffee House waa spoon gymnasium and the guests crooked the elbows periodically, the side ol the room alor said served all the purposes of a Protean pi ture gallery, where, according to the capricioi eyesight of the -assembled Bacchanalian: could be seen in wonderfully rapid rotatio Barnum's H jseum and the happy family, N agara Fails on tire, the destruction of Coluu bia, the Black Hole of Calcutta, the battle < Waterloo, the boy that atood on the burn in deck, or "any other man." There is no doul that many a Hr. caudle has carried home t his better half from this gay place the most c; alted notions 01 what may be termed "big old art." But let us ascend, to TBS COOAPOSDXO BOOM. Yoa observe here three marked features-a abondance of space, good ventilation, an plenty ot bight-all of which are essential to well appointed establishment. You observe too, thar notwithstanding there are fifteen o j twenty persuns at work, it is as noiseless as church in prayer time, save an incessant elie! oiick, cLck, that sounds very much Ilka th ticking of a score of clocks. This is cause by the compositors in manipulating the type aa yon will presently understand. The furniture consists chiefly- of a series c stands arranged along the middle of the room and at light angles thereto, so aa to catch th light sidewise from the windows on eithe side. These stands are breast high, and s constructed that when the cases coutainini the type are before him, the prater face as it were a desk, in the cover of whtel are a number of bttle compartment*, (tech mcally called "boxes.") Bach of these bxx? is filled with a type of one part?cula kind-those letters which most frequent!: occur, such for instance as a-e-i-t-h-oi-n-i being nearest to bis band. Thus the letter ia used say sixty timos whore tba letter z i wanted once; so that it ia necessary, tor chi parp?se ot oconoa iring tho space over wa i ci the hand most travel*, that th-.se often recur? ring letters should be within tho shortest pos sib.e reach. Just behind, and rising rr om chi upper edge of the desk-like arrangement des cribed, ie another case simular to the one be low. This is known aa the upper casu, an< contama the capital letters, foot-note marks dashes, parentheses, asterisks, Sx. All chi other letters, f gores, punctuation and quota tlcn marks, hyphens, Sx., are to be found ? the lower case. This cari?os cembinatioa hoi been the result of much experience, bat it ii now believed to be as near perfection os it ii possible to be.

His ii ac art, however, that makes men. Look for serons individuality, for marked character, for pride that brooks no-sort of alight, f or perseverance tba t co c que rs d?Bculty, for a sturdy bravery that on evety field of battle in the United states and Mexico bas voluntarily left its mirk-and you will find it in tho printer. Of his ability, sea j the signal tramples among tbs best editors in the country and the mose distinguished pub ' ho men; and for bia private worth, lo k into i the pleasant homes and around the fireside enr? oles, which, howsoever humble, the industri? ous printer still eau call his own. i Bot it is time, dear adveitiaement, to m tra? duce'you to the foreman of thia department. Already bo ia inspecting yon admiringly, for ho knowe that you aro in good company. He handles yoa tenderly,-for you are endorsed "paid," and calculates h vw maota of your."non? pareil* proportions aro enticed to "small cape." He reade, perhaps, that you ara "A Want," and marka yon accordingly. Well, you are no exception to tba role. Mankind, at boat, is only tbe embodiment- of a want, unplied if .not expressed. As tho poet says : "Man wants a muchness hore below, And wanta that muchness strong." You are laid away on tho foreman's table, face down, to toko your torn when tba printer comes tor "copy." Possibly you may hava to wait uni il the afternoon, because from ten o'clock bo the morning until about throe P. M. the compositors are employe! in "distributing matter,'' as it ia called, or, in other words, dex terously and rapidly separating each lotter which appearod in yesterday^ paper from its next neighbor, and throwing it back into the little compartment whare it belongs, to be used again tc-day. Tao accomplished printer per? forms this operation nearly as fast as you can count ; but the type must always be wet for the purpose, or otherwise words would stick to? gether in consequence of the severe preseure to which tbey have boen subjected, and the deli? cate work required of thumb and finger would bs of no avail. We will Buppoao tao aftornoon to hare ar? rived. Coats are laid away, sleevos roiled up, and feet encased in alip-ehods. Tbe ice-cooler is refilled-for printers drink a great dael-of water, copy is given out, and work begins. Your time has como too. A string, with a small paper weight attached, bolds you down on tho dosk-liko surface of ene of the stands which boa been described, to keep tbe wind from taking improper liberties with jour per? son, ned the quiet printer seana you attentive? ly. He looks jon through-seas bow much you will make-whether yen aro constructed grammatically, or spejlod according to Gunter. All right Now commences the metempsycho? sis, m which, according to the ancient belief, your soul enters another body, and you live-"L '."-which in journalistic technology means "till forbid."' The iastru m mt by which this change is edee tod are the tiny metallic bars, less than an inch in length, lying all around you, tho form of tho lotter which it is intended to pri.jt being cast upon ono oud of it. Thcso are neither very hard nor aoft, nor brittle, and their thickness cor? responds with the size of tho letter. If made from steel or iron alone, they would hurt thc band and be subject to rust, if mado from lead they would woar out in an hour. A com? bination of lead, tin and antimony melted and by machinery mn into a mould, shaped and polished, has thcrsf jro been selected to serve tho purpose required. When iii addi? tion thoy are copper-faced like thcae of Taz NEWS-' OFFICE, they generally wear faithfully for many months. Tbs ccet of typo varios according to* their size, weight and fi: I thc elaborate and ornamental specimens a I times seen in job work being vary expon i ? Each compositor is provided with a 1 iron frome known as a "stick," which gon ly holds about twenty lines. This is reta in the left hand, In order to facilitate worn, every type, has "nicks" cut near the pf it, which indicate that when transferre the stick, that aide ia to ba turned ont. Ti it for granted that the face of the type is ri because it comes from the right "box,'' asl glance only ie necessary to show that it is r side up and mck outward. Tua unit or sta ard of measurement for the work is the tyr the letter rn; that type being exactly squat form, it ia easy to measure by it, for there always be as many ems In a line as there lines in a space up and down the page equ: the length of the line. A good compositor set up ons thousand ems per hour, tho some caa set fifteen hundred and even thousand. There is a great difference in dil ant men in respect to their natural eapacit make quick compositors.
