Hear what the National Intelligen. cer says about editing a newspaper: Many people estimate the ability of a newspaper, and the industry and talent of its editor by the editorial natter it contains. It is comparative ly an easy task tr a frothy writer to pour oit daily ealunis of words--words upon any iand all subjects. Ilis ideas iaty flow in one wishy-washy ev--rlast ing tiood, and his command of language moay enable him to string them togeth er like bunches of onions; and vet his paper many be a meagre and poor con eern. But what is the toil of such a man who displays his leaded matter largely. to tluit imposel on a judicious, well-iitormied editor, who exercises his vocation with an hourly consciousness of his responsibilities and duties, and devolves himself to the conduct of his paper with the same eare and assiduity tiiat a sensible lawyer bestows upon at suit, a lannane physician upon a pa ticnt, vwithout regard to show or dis pinay ! Indeed, the mnere writing part of editing a paper is but It small por tion of the work. The care, the time employed in selecting, is ihr more in portant, and the tact of a good editor better known by his selections than anything else, and that we all know is half the hattl-. lBut as we have said, an editor ought to be estimated, and his labors understo od and appreciated, by the general conduct of his paper, its tone, its temper, its unifiirn consistent couirse. its principles and aims. its man liness, its dignity and propriety. To presirv thes.e as they shlh.id be pre served. is enough to occupy fully the tune and aeitietion ofi any anaii. If to this be ailded the general supervision oIf the newspaper establishment, which m o.t editors have to encounter, the wowile r is how they find time to write at all. , P'all Rn'cctre.-A ( vou y was suiirnoned yeteiltay. at twelve o'clock, to hold inqtuest on the body of Mr. 'obeit Leekie, Ulznrella Ma nufiacturer. 12 9 ing-street, and a ver uih.t was renidered thatt lie camle to his~ death bv a wound~ lromi a pistoil ball d ischiarged by Mr. J.
