THE DAILY NEW THE THUNDERER. THE LONDON TOTES-A GLANCE AT THE HIST MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS OF THE GB EA' KEWBFAFEB ZN THE WOULD. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Lei Bends to that paper the following highly in e sting account of ibe .London Times an< establisliment : To the writer abroad th? London Times its office are always objects of interest, y our readers may, perhaps, like to know so thing of this great newspaper, which stand the head of the press of Europe. In the b Of the old City of London, near St. Paul's Cht and tho Thames, are "Printing House Squi and "Play House Yard," the former a si open space, about fifty feet square, the latt _ narrow street, a few yards to the north, act being gained to both through some of smallest, most crooked and dingiest streets the metropolis. Here, in a dozen or more 1 ancient-looking houses, covering perhaps acre and a half, is published the Times; pabHshing office being on Play House Yard, office for receiving advertisements on one s of Printing House Square, the manager's c ces on another, and the editors' rooms c third. The place is a quiet one, secluded fi the bustle and noise of the traffic of the gi London streets, and none of thebufidingsm any pretensions, or give, beyond one or i modest signs, any indications of the import business transacted within. On 'January1 IS, 1785, Mr. John Walter, London, published the first number of ^BaDy umversalEegister," which was prim by what was known as the logographic syste in winch types containing syllables and wo: were employed instead of single letters. T . system being not found to answer, was sc disused. Mr. Walter determined to change i name of bis newspaper, and on January 1,17 issued the first number of "The Times,"a foi page Bheet. a little larger than the first hu oer of the Public Ledger, and containing fe columns on each page. It was, of cour printed on the old j fashioned hand presses, had many rivals to contend with, and gain tut slowly in circulation), having at the st; . and until 1803, a sale of 1,000 copies, whi the London Morning Post issued 4,500. Duri this year Mr. Walter gave up the paper to! son, in' whose' hands it advanced to high place in journalism, its start t log "gamed "T>y "enterprise in gatheri: news in Napoleon's wars. On Nove: ber 2, 1814, the Times was first print by steam power, .toing the first English stea printing mess, constructed by M. K?nig, al capable of wording off 1200 copies per non By successive improvements this capacity wi increased, and in 1815 there were 4200 copi per hour printed. The powerful articles co tributed bv, Sir Edward l?terang to the Timi gamed it tie well known name of "The Thu darer." During this period it gradually ii creased its size, adding a fifth, and then sixth column to each page: and on January 1 1629, it issued its first double number of eigl pages. In 1841 a. memorable event happene in the history af the paper. It used its groa po wer to defeat and expose a scheme organize bra public company to defraud, by forgery, a the "influential bankers of Europe. Tbi . broojrht upon the proprietors a long an vexatious-action fen: libel, involving thei ^to heavy expenses. Finally the jury form the charge tine, bot gave a verdict c only one. farthing damages. Thfa ? tris wag one of the great events of the time and auDscriptions were set on toot in all part of Europe to reimburso the proprietors fo therr immense outlay in defending the action -but Une being firmly declined, the money wa expended in founding ''Times Scholarships at Oxford. Cambridge and other schools and marble tablets commemorating the gea* ware set np in the Bo val Exchange, ii Printing House Square,-and other placea V" ?ese were the greatest honors ever given tc an European newspaper. Subsequently, the -??percame into the hands of Mr. ?ohn Wal? ter, grandson of its founder. In 1845, the . Times established on overland express from ~- Ind? for the conveyance of news. In 1848, it 'v - - first used rotary printing machines, thoeo o? Applegath, and in 1852 its ?versee da?v cir r^^l?^^*5"ol SuklW^ ^r^- n^7pn, and containing bis biog -t-iy, 56,000 copies were sold. In 1854, Dr. ?Bj???aU was employed as special correspond? ent in the Crimea, and wrote the letters that Stade him famous. During this period the Times began issuing; triple and quadruple sheets, papers cf twelve and sixteen pages. Ja 180, Mr. Hoe's American printing machine V SJ was fir?t used to print the Times. In 1861, th? daily circulation had increased to fifty-four thonsand copies, over eighteen million copies being issued during the year. At this time the Times began occasionally issuing quadruple sheets of twenty pages to accommodate its business, and on June 22,1861, it issued a sex? tuple Bheet of twenty-four pages, containing besides the . reading matter 407G different ad TcrtisemeTi ts, quite- an m crease over i ts mod? est number of 150, fifty years beftn <% in 1811. In 1867, the .Times began printing with the ?;.--lfmtym--aiai%&oting press, patented the year, before, and claimed to be the fastest and moat economical printing machine in the world. Toe present circulation of the Times is from 63,000 to 60,000 daily, the*ordinary issue being a sixteen page newspaper, whilst sometimes it is increased to a twenty page newspaper. ' - Tins is a brief history of the paper, and I now " will pass onto an account of- its present con? dition, and of the .office at Printing House Square. The Times is in an era of great pros? perity, and the endeavor in the establishment is to issue a newspaper which will at once be a model bf correct typography, excellent print? ing, and the purest English. It is considered that tho care bestowed in the Times office upon the diction of its leading articles bas con? tributed more than anything else to preserve the parity of the English language. The staff of "leader" writers is large, and upon it are the best newspaper writers in England, where' au editor's* ambition is to be employed by the Times. Unlike the custom in America, the object at the Times office is to preserve theim L personality of the paper. What it contains is said by the paper itself, and not by any indivi? dual, and for that reason its opinions and state? ments go before the world with all the weight h.. - the newspaper can give them.- Its editors never write.. They forecast, day by day, the policy cf the paper; suggest subjects to the nader writers; sit m judgment upon their arti? cle's when written; and decide what shall or shall not go into the paper. Its correspond k ants, in England and abroad, receive but one instruction, and that is to send accurate and impartial accounts of transpiring events, at the earliest moment, written in such a manner as to interest the readers. To conduct this establishment, a large force is of cours*, required. It prints every dav from one thousaL 3 seven hundred to three thousand advertisements, and on extraordinary occa? sions even more,. It also prints twenty to thirty columns of reading matter. To perform .ho mechanical part of the work, four hundred ? pesu?a are employed at Printing Hon&o Square, .whilst probably as many more are attached to the paper in literary positions. With reference to advertisements, as the paper is always receiving more than it can mott it promises early insertions to none but the poor people who want places, and a few other urgent classes. No one who comes after twelve o'clock on any day with his advertise? ment can hope for an insertion in tile next day's paper, whilst generally the advertisers dt> not see their advertisements printed until two or three days, or sometimes as many weeks, after they are handed over the counter. They have to wait their turn, and such is the anxiety to get them in the Times that the FnghHh public submit patiently to delays that the American public would never tolerate. The lowest charge is for "wants," in which case each advertiser is allowed three fines for a half crown, about sixty cents, gold. For all others the regular rate is a shilling a line, twenty-four cents, gold, but no advertisement is taken for less than four shillings, whilst long advertise? ments are charged more in proportion, the rate, after the first fifty lines, being two shil? lings a hne. The cheapest rates are allowed to public charities and similar classes..but nothing extra is charged for favorite positions in the paper. In the mornings, when the people flock to the Times office to hand in their advertise? ments, Printing House Square is a place of the greatest bustle and activity, but in the af? ternoon o it is comparatively deserted. The advertising pages are made up in a regular or? der, beginning with the birth.-- ou the first column of the first page, and the "agonies," as "personals" are called, on the second col* mian, and closing with the auction notices, of which alone, in the paper of last Saturday, June 6, there were twenty-five columns. There are no headings to the advertising columns, each department coming unannounced on the heels pf ita^ predecessor, and this course by ? fc>ringing "washing taken in" immediately ahead of the aristocratic "tutors," I am told, ?^?*used great complaint among that class ] ??-^^c BD*F811 COD-muniiy, as they regard J tneir characters as Boiled by the juxtaposition, i The office for the receipt'of advertisements is i conducted by eleven persons, and is devoted >i totnetbusmess exclusively, the publication < office being a separate building. 1 The reading matter is furnished by the edi tori al, r?pertoriai and corresponding staffs, there being/besides, 22 Jaw reporters, 19 Par? liamentary reporters, 12 police reporters, and an indefinite number of miscellaneous writers, known aa "penny-a-liners," in London, at least 100 correspondents in various parts of Great Britain, and some 40 correspondents in other parts of the world. Of the Parliamentary re? porters, 16 are phonographers, two make sum? maries of the debates in the Houses, and one directs the force. To set up the types there are 130 compositors emuloyed, 68 laboring by day and 70 r.t sight, whilst ll foremen and as? sistants direct their movements. Twenty-four persons are required to read proofs, and three are employed merely to "pull" the proofs. The advertisements are set up during the day, and the reading matter at night, the advertising pages being made up at from 5 to 7 o'clock in the evening. Beading matter is received until daylight and afterwards, and the reading pages are rarely put to press before 4 A. M., whilst leading articles are frequently written on Par? liamentary debates and other events happen? ing after midnight, and appear in print the fol? lowing morning. England is different in its habits from the railed States, and very early newspaper issues are not demanded. In a? this .'-erk the greatest care is taken to guard against mistakes, and every line printed readover by proof-readers four or five different times. Ten stereotypers prepare the plates for printing machines, by the papier-mache pro cess now in use in the Public Ledger office and in other .leading newspaper offices in the United States, and these machines are no run continuously from about eight o'clock the evening until seven the next morning, sides work during the day upon "second edi tiona."' Sixteen firemen and engineers attend the engines and boilers, six men prepare the paper, before printing, ninety are employed on the presses, and seven deliver the paper the news-agents after it is printed. No car? riers are employed, as in the United States bat the whole edition is sold out to Dews-agents the number of copies printed being no more than the sum total of their orders, which have to be handed in by 2 P. M. on the oro viona day The wholesale price of the Times is 2}u. per copy (about ?? cents gold ; the retail price, 3d., (6 cents gold). For the benefit of the employ ees there are established in the office a savin fund, a sick fund, and a co-operative restaur? ant, managed by five persons, at which all the employees get their food and drink at whole sale cost pnces. This is known familiarly "The Canteen." Stability and comfoit are great objects in Printing House Square. The apartments, dingy without, are clean and spa cious withui, and faithful laborers remain there a Lifetime, bequeathing their places to their sons. "Many now in the place have worked there five and twenty years, and two in parti alar, still hale and hearty, have been in the of? fice respectively 45 and 55 years. Father and son work side by side, and all seem to regard the place and its directors with the greatest affection. , To print the Times, seventy tons weight paper nnd two tons of printing ink are used, every week, whilst the average weight of the lally issue of the paper is from eleven to twelve tons. The machines upon which this large edition is printed are the best of their kind, rh ere are two ten-cylinder Hoe presses, and two eight-cylinder Applegath machines; the iggregate actual work done by them being ?2,000 impressions an hour, 16,000 from each if the former, and 10,000 from each of the lat? er. Besides these there is now in use! the 'Walter PrxatingPress,n which is a self-feeder, md managed by a man and two boys, prints arge share of the advertising pages of the limes. Its capacity is from 22,000 to 24,000 m pressions an hour, and it produces in that ime from 11,000 to 12,000 perfect sheets, prin ed on both sides, and ready for the reader. This machine is somewhat similar to. the American Bullock press, lt prints fi om a large .oil of paper containing 2500 to 3000 sheets, ruts them apart after printing, and then deliv? ers them by a double motion in to two piles. It ?S been pronounced ft success by competent ridges ?ere, and will probably revolutionize be printing business in England, on account f its great capacity, and the cheapness with rhich it is operated. This wonderful machine ras invented and constructed by Mr. John C lac Donald, one of the leading men of Print ig House Square, and has been named by him he "Walter Printing Press," in honor of the roprietor of the Times. He spent six years of onstant, anxious labor in building and perfect* *There is little more to say of this great news iftper." It circulates not only throughout Ireat Britain, but all over the world. Its pol sy in the treatment of oublie affairs is not a lied one, but is governed by expediency. To raids America, its former course of severe nticism.has been changed to one of great riendliness. and it judges us now with far lore candor and generosity than the majority f its London cotemporaries, besides paving teat attention to the collection of American itelligence. Who directs'ita course orcon rol8 its opinions, however, is a sealed book, ne editor is invisible, nor are the writers nowa except by hearsay. It tries to draw an inpenetrable veil o ver the individuality of all onnectedwith it. and what this or that writer lay say is buried in the great mass of leaders, lews, and other matters which "The Times" resents to the world on its sixteen or twenty road pages every week-day morning. CHINESE PMS rms.-A Hong Kong letter in ne Chicago Tribune contains the fellowing: There are two newspapers nublished daily in long Song, besides Beveral semi-occasionally: y this I mean whenever the mail goes foward o Europe, or when the publisher thinks him elf justified in the outlay necessary. The long Kong Press and the China Mail-the for? cer a morning and the latter an evening pa taper-are both good papers, rather old-fogy 3h in style, but perhaps just such as suits the astesof the inhabitants of the island. The ditors, reporters and proprietors are English? men, while the compositors, pressmen, mail larks, &c, are Chinese. The compositor is ne of the enigmas of China, and herefore worthy or a paragraph. There re some twelve or fifteen of them mployed in the composing room of he Tresa office, who "set" from six to nine bousand ems per day each. The strangest art of thu paragraph is yet to come, and, rhile it is indisputable, is almost beyond be ief. Notwithstanding these compositors set vpe not a single one of them understand Eng? en, and have not. the faintest idea of what bey are placing io type. They set manuscript a th as much facility as they do reprint, ai>d ut few American printers can set type faeter r with less errors. I have wa.ched these fel D wa while at their work, and was astonished o see how oimbly they made their fingers fly rom box to box. These printers are cheap rorkers, and consider themselves well paid fhea they receive fifteen dollars per month, ad perhaps they are, for that is big wages for , Chinaman in this country. There are some 'ery tasty and rapid job printers amongst these Chinese, who do work to the satisfaction of all ?rho employ them. -The invasion of the Mormons still contin ies, and six hundred more were landed at ?cw York Tuesday. All of them, says the Jerald, were Englum and Welsh, but the eye poked in vain to detect that round and ruddy ace, that cheerful manner which is eo fre ?uently met with in the rural districts of I England. The women were particularly home y. Among the Welsh, however, some fresh ind juicy looking specimeos made their ap jearance here and there. Of the masculines here might have been one hundred; of the feminines three hundred and fifty; of? the ?LI? cn one hundred and fifty. The mea, as t mle, have an average each of from five to leven wives. In this* instance, however, there ire a good many young bloods who were going io Salt Lake *on speculation, expecting that 3righam the brave will provide liberally for herr matrimonial wants out of the reserved ?tock he keeps on hand. This batch is said to >e much superior in personal physique to that lomposed of Swedes which landed recently. The latter are said to have presented a -.cry demoralized aspect, and made a strong irgument against the beauty and happiness of wlygamal hie. POET CALENDAR. PHASES OF TUE MOON.

' THE PLATFORM - The Democratic parry, is National CODvention as? sembled, reposing its trust in the intelligence, patriotism, and discriminating justice of the people; standing upon the constitution as the foundation and limitation of the powers of the government and the guarantee of the Uberties of the citizen, and re? cognizing the questions of slavery and secession as haying been settled for all time to come by the war, or the voluntary action of the Southern States in constitutional convention assembled, and never to be renewed or reagitated, do, with the return of | peace, demand: Fin!. Immediate restoration of all the States to their rights in tho Union, under the constitution, and of civil government to the American people. Second. Amnesty for all past political offences, and the regulation of the elective franchise in the States by their citizens. Third. Payment of the public debt of the United States as rapidly as practicable; all moneys drawn from the people by taxation, except so much as is requisite for the necessities of the government, economically administered, being honestly applied to such payment; and where the obligations of the government do not expressly state upon their face, or the law under which they were issued does not provide that they shall be poid in coin, they ought, in right and injustice, be paid in the lawful money of the United States. Fourth. Equal taxation of every species of property 'according to its real value, including government bonds and other public securities. Fifth. One currency for the government and the people, the laborer and the officeholder, the pen? sioner and the soldier, the producer and the bond? holder. Sixth. Economy in tho administration of the gov? ernment; tho reduction of the standing army and navy; the abolition of the Freedmen's Bureau and all political instrumentalities designed to secure negro supremacy; simplification of the sys? tem, and discontinuance of inquisitorial modes of assessing and collecting internal revenue, so that the burden of taxation may be equalized and lessen? ed; the credit of the government and the currency made good; the repeal of all enactments for enroll? ing the State; militia into national forces in time of j peace, and a tariff for revenue upon foreign import?, end such equal taxation under the internal revenue laws os will afford incidental protection to domestic manufactures, and as will, without impairing the revenue, Impose the least burden upon and best pro? mote and encourage the great industrial interests of j the country. Seventh. Beform of abus?B in the administration, the expulsion of corrupt men from office, the abro? gation of useless offices, the restoration of rightful authority to and the independence of the executive and judicial departments of the government, the subordination of the military to the civil power, to the end that the usurpations of Congress and the despotism of the sword may cease. Eighth. Equal rights and protection for naturalized and native-born citizens at home and abroad, the assertion of American nationality whieh shall com? mand the respect of foreign powers and furnish an ' example and. encouragement to people struggling for national .integrity, constitutional liberty, and indi? vidual rights ; and the maintenance of tbe rights of j na ram! ired citizens against the absolute doctrine of | immutable allegiance, and the claims of foreign pow? ers to punish them for alleged crime committed be? yond their jurisdiction. In demanding these measures and reforms we ar? raign the Radical party for its disregard of right, and the unparalleled oppression and tyranny which have marked its career. After the most solemn and tmanimoue'pledge of | both Houses of Congress to prosecute the war ex? clusively for the maintenance of the government and the preservation of the Union under the constitu? tion, it has repeatedly violated that most sacred pledge under which alone wes rallied that noble volunteer army which carried our flag to victory. Instead of restoring thc Union, it has, so far as is in lis power, dissolved it, and subjected ten States in time of profound peace to military despotism and negro supremacy; it has nullified there the right of J tidal by Jury; it has abolished the habeas corpus, that most sacred writ of liberty; it has overthrown the freedom of speech and the press; it has substi? tuted arbitrary seizures, and arrests, and military trials, and secret star chamber inquisitions tor the constitutional tribunals; it has disregarded lu time of J peace the right of the people to be free from searches and seizures; it has entered the post and telegraph offices, and even the private rooms of individuals, and seized their private papers and letter?, without any specific charge or notice of affidavit, as required by the organic law; it has converted the Ameri? can capitol into a Bas tile; it has established a system of spies and official espionage to which no constitu? tional monarchy of Europe would now dare to resort ; it has abolished the right of appeal on important constitutional questions to the supreme judicial tri? bunal, and threatens to curtail or destroy its origi? nal jurisdiction, which is irrevocably vested by the constitution, while the learned Chief Justice has been subjected to the most atrocious calumnies, merely because he would not prostitute his high office to the support of the false and partisan charges preferred against the President; its corruption and extrava? gance have exceeded anything known in history, and by its frauds and monopolies it has nearly doubled the burden of thc debt created by the war; it has s tri pped the President of his constitutional power of appointment, even of bis own Cabinet. Under its repeated assaults the pillars of the govern ment are rocking on their base, and should it suc? ceed in November next and inaugurate its President, we will meet as a subjected and conquered p.opie amid the ruins of liberty and the scattered fragments of the constitution; and we do declare and resolve that ever since the people of the United States threw off all subjection to the British Crown, the privilege and trust of suffrage have belonged to the several States, and have been granted, regulated and con? trolled exclusively by the political power of eaci State respectively, and that any attempt by Congress on any pretext whatever, to deprive any State of this right, or interfero with its exercise, is a flagrant usur? pation of power which can find no warrant in the constitution, and if sanctioned by the peo? ple will subvert our form of government, and can only end in a single centralized and consolidated gov? ernment in which the separate existence of the States will bo entirely absorbed, and an unqualified despot? ism be established in place of a Federal Union of co? equal States; and that we regard thc Reconstruction acts (so-called) of Congress as usurpations, and un? constitutional, revolutionary and void; that our sol? diers and sailors, who carried the flag of our country to vic toi y against a most gallant and determined foe. must ever be gratefully remembered, and all the guarantees given m their favor must be faithfully carried into execution. That the public lands should be distributed as widely as possible among thc people, and should be disposed of either under the pre-emption of home? stead lands, or sold in reasonable quantities, and to none but actual occupants, at the minimum price established by the government. When grants of the? public lands may be allowed, necessary for tho en? couragement of important public improvements, the proceeds of thc sale of such land, and not the lands themselves, should be so applied. ITiqithe President of the United Statee, Andrew Johnson, in exercising the power of his high office in resisting the aggressions of Congress upon the con? stitutional rights of the States and the people, is en? titled to the gratitude of the whole American peo? ple, and in behalf of the Democratic party we tender him our thant e for his patriotic efforts in that re? gard. Upon this platform the Democratic party appeal to every patriot, including all the conservative ele? ment, and all who desire to support tUe constitution and restore the Union, forgetting all past differences of opinion, to unite with us in the present great struggle for the liberties of the people; and that to all such, to whatever party they may have heretofore belonged, we extend the right hand of fellowship, and hail all such co-operating with us as friends and brethren.
