' Printer's AsylumIn the October number of the Typographical Advertiser, a journal published in tiiis city by Messrs.

It has been urged again in a sue- i ceeding number of the same periodical, and ! the proposition has inet with decided favor j from the craft in this city, and wherever it i has been brought to their attention. No i one can question the propriety, ami indeed ! the necessity of such an institution ; for, i among the large numbers of persons engag- 1 ud in the printing business, there are many ! whose health is completely broken down, or I who are disabled by age and injuries, who 1 ought to have some more safe and reliable 1 provision than the precarious charity of the ' public at large. At the same time it dishon- 1 ors a noble fraternity to have any of its, f members driven to tbe condition of com- I ' mon paupers, in tho time of their age and ' infirmity, and obliged to go to tho Alms I j House. 1' Messrs.

Death of Hon. Preston' 8. Brooks. 1 Ere this, the intelligence of the death of our distinguished Representative has been hear*! throughout the length aud breadth of the land. The South has reason to mourn the loss of one of its ablest and bravest defenders, and by bis death the State lias sustain ccl a bereavement from which it canuot boom recover. We pronounce no eulogy upon hia character-i-thnt duty is left to those moro competent than we are, and mori intimately acquainted with his private and public character. Ilis virtues will ever be cherished by a large and esteemed circle o^ friends ; the heroic deeds accomplished upon the battle field in defence of his country's honor, will bo remembered by a grateful posterity as long as historians write and history tells the story; whilst his faults (and who hath them not ?) will be forgotten in the recollection of his manly chaiacter, his impulsive nature and generous frankness. The following tribute was paid to his mem ory by Hon. Uodkkt Toombs, of C?a.) in a speech delivered in thoSenato of the U. $. on the 29th inst., when the announcement of his death was made: u At an eaily ago, he entered the Tegp^ profession, where his promising success wYnl soon interrupter! by a call from his country! to the battle field of Mexico. A Captaiti,W' the Palmetto regiment, it is sufficient ibr bis fame to say that lie shared in the perils and honors of that distinguished corps. Hav? iug returned from Mexico, lie resumed the pursuits of private life, but w as soon called l?y the people of llic Ninety-Six District to represent them in the Congress of the United States. It was the home of him?elf and of his ancestors, and the fathers of those who called hiin into their service had served shoulder to shoulder with those ancestors,in our revolutionary struggle, and hud given one of them the same evidence -of their confidence and regard. To this district, with its uiany other true patriots and statesmen, whom it had given to the public council** both living and dead, the country is indebted for those distinguished stalestmen Rttd patiiota, Harper, Calhoun and McDuflie, trow no more, but who are already enrolled among those ,4 few immortal names that were not horn to die." ' .Mr. 1 hooks c.uno among tts in troublesome times. The genius of discord brooded over our National Councils. Sectional strife | had driven concord and fraternity from our I legislative halls and reigned supreme.? Stales, staUsmen, and principles, loved, honored, and revered, garnered up in the heaVt' of hearts of one portion of the people, wore objects of the bitterest vituperation and invective bv the representatives of another.??( Entering Congress in this ciisis, ho threw himself into the conflict with characteristic decision and firmness, on the side of dntv,' of his convictions, of his countrr, and with! distinguished ability and eloquence sustained tlie lights and lienor of that constituency who had so 44 lie retained, what he justly merited, the undiminished confidence of his constituents ; who had returned him with singular unanimity to the next Congress ; and but few men of his years gave better promise of 11 long and useful and honorable career.

I have just visited our new Custom Iiouse, , which is progressing slowly but surely. It ! is situated near the lower end of the mar; ket, near the water, and adjacent to the j Ferry wharves. 1 will purlion a description of it frotn the interesting columns of the Standard, which | though issued a week or so ago, may not have met the eyes of many of your readers. " The appropriations for the purchase of the sito were in 1847, $30,000, and in 1848, $100,000. With these sums, the ground 1 on which the work is now going on, was ijbought in July, 1840. For the construction of the building, the first appropiiation was iq 1840, of $50,000, and this sum subsequent appropriations have swelled to $1,l/453,000. Col. E. II. White was appointed superintendant of construction, in October, t 1830, and proceeded to the work upon a i plan drawn up by A. 13. Young, of ISoston. The first excavations were made in January, 1st, 1832, nnd from that day the work has gone steadily on. Throughout the whole area 73,00 piles, 40 feet in length, havo been driven at a distance of two feet from centres. Upon these piles timbers are spiked parallel to each other, and the spaces between are filled un wirli n 1 ? " alion of concreto and masonry. The plan in in the form of a Greek cross, and exhibits the following dimensions: length from N. to S. 2o0 feet, from E. to \V. 150 feet; the four arms being each 72 feet in width ; and height from base to the top of the dome 100 feet The order of architecture is Unman Corinthian. Four porticos adorn the building, whose walls have attached columns. These columns aro especially beautiful and stand six upon each side of ihe building; while ' ujH?n ilie water side there is an inner row of the shine number. The entrances on the I F. and \V. sides are approached by broad (lights of steps most artistically finished. At each end of these stands a granite pedestal to be surmounted by large lainjrs. The doors at the entrances aro decorated w ith a pediment head resting upon carved trusses, and the windows will bo similarly finished and adorned with moulded trimmings. ? In the four corners of the building nrefiuu^ji^ ciilar staircase^^^^^|i|U|^BBP*^^^\jy .^^flpHi^^rtned by u steam engine, which, jPITcd in the basement, w ill act upon a huge fan and force the warm, fresh air into every part, through capacious Hues which lavt been constructed in the walls. It is propci to notice that all the stone and iron work icramped by copper ties ; and in the bricl 'I work hydraulic cement and gravel have beet i used. Adjacent to the Custom House ar t sheds and sliops where are a large nutnbe f of men upon different kinds of work. I , one of these is a steam engine which puin) ? water for the machinery, from Reaper's a - ley. But the most interesting feature i t the various machines in use, is an apparatt s for unloading granite nnd marble, at tl wharf. This comprises a combination " wheels, shacved and bevelled, acting upc 6 each other under the force of an engine ar ^ revolving upon a shaft. About this shaft coiled a heavy cable, which, running throu< a pulley-block and stretching over res placed at staled distances, reaches a crai stationed at the foot of the wharf, where l??jtlie vessels to be unladen.

After the judicial and medical inquiiy on Fiidav, Professor Miller took the pistol to the gun-smith from which it had been purchased by Mr. Miller in July, 1855, in order to nsccitain how many shots had been fired and how many were still in the chamber.
