What served to favor the idea was a little song which he had composed when in Philadelphia, commencing with these lines, Return enraptured hours When Delia's heart was mine ; and which was supposed to breathe the remembrance of his early and requilted passion. " His varied and graceful ..talents, and his engaging manners, rendered him generally popular; while his devoted and somewhat subservient loyalty recommended him to the favor of his commander, and obtained him, without any distinguished military services, the appointmen of Adjutant-General with the rank of Major. He was a prime promoter of elegant amusement in camp 1 and garrison; manager, acter, and scene- 1 painter in those amateur theatricals in which the British officers delighted. He ' was ono of the principal devisers of the ' Miscbianza in Philadelphia, in which seiuiefleminate pageant he had figured as one of the knights champions of beauty ; Miss 1 Shippen, afterwards Mrs. Arnold, being 1 tho lady who peerless charms he undertook 1 to vindicate. lie held, moreover, a facile. and at times, satirical pen, and occasionally amused himself with carricaturing in rhyme tlic appearance and exploits of the 'rebel officers.'" 1 THE EXECUTION OF ANDnE. i "On the morning of the 2d, he main- i tained a calm demeanor, though all around j him were gloom)' and silent.

There must he a limit to this falling below zero in paying expenses, and tho sooner the upward tendency takes place the better for all parties concerned. Advertisers will be benefitted, because a larger share of the cost of newspapers will tall wlicro it lightly belongs, and that is on the reading public, who now get their daily journal for nothing, and are. paid for perusing it. A late number of the New York Times has sonic interesting facts in this connexion which will bear to be reproduced. It says that every copy of the Times, and some oilier papers, costs nearly twice what is paid for it. Indeed, the cent ; and a half, which is all that the publishers ! receive for tiio paper at wholesale, barely j covers the cost of the white paper and the j ink with which the sheet is printed, leaving j all the other expenses of the establishment* in every department, editorial writing, foreign and domestic correspondence reporting, type-selling, prcsswork, rent, gas, &c., to be | met by the advertising. The real burden of sustaining the city newspapers, therefore,' falls upon the advertiser, who is compelled 1 to bear a portion of the cost, which in justice,I ought to be paid by the subscribcrand reader. | Of /><"\ltren lifliolrt.iAl* nAm I red by any paper must Le met by an increased charge in the advertising department.
