From the New-York Daily Advertiser:
NEWSPAPERS IN ENGLAND.
Wo lately republished from an English paper an
article sle wing the sum yielded annually, by tho du
ty on advertisements in Fmgl-ind, and tho difference
between the price of advertising in that country and
m this. In n London nows paper, nn advertisement
making ten lines, amnuntH to five dollars nnd 94 conts
for three insertions. In a New-York paper, tho price
is only eighty sovon cents.
As the nbovn article hn« excited somo interest
among printers as well ns others, wo have thought
that tho account of tho manner in which newspapers
nr© distributed in London would also possess some
interest. When in Loudon throe years ago, one of
the proprietors of tho Daily Advortiser took some
minutes relating to this subject, but having mislaid
10 ! rusts memory f° r what follows:
1 ho price ot a daily London qowspaper is seven
pen^o stalling, which is about one shilling in Now
lorlc currency.
1 ho papers oro sold by Agents, who aro tlio only
persons known to the proprietors as their customers,
i Ins class of persons are respectable men, and in
many instances possoss considerable properly. They
have sub-agenN or carriers, in number proportioned
to the extont of their business. It is this class, (the
Carriers.) who make tlieir appenranco at the vnriou?
daily offices, at tho hours of publication, and, the
moment the papers ore receivod from the press, pur
chase them at the counting houso of tho offico, pay
ing in ready money for the number they take oi in
some instances, where the rrodit of the Agent is un-
uoubted, receiving n limited credit Tho papen are
sold to those Agents or Carriers at the original price
ot seven pence sterling a paper by the quire; but, to
enable them to make a living by* tlieir business, the
otnee counts out to them twenty-seven shoots to the
quiro, thus giving them throe papers above the nom*
inal number, as their profit for selling on the quiro.
All these Carriers have their routes for each daily
a*4 wu'l us semi-weekly paper marked out, and bo-
yond tboso limits they consider themselves as having
no right to pass, each confining himself to his own
district.
i lie moment the Carriersol'nin their papers, they
go ofT at full speed, for the various public places in
tlieir respective districts, from wlienco the hundreds
ol public coaches, morning nnd evening, depart for
all pa*ta of the kingdom Here they beset the pns-
sHngorK with ‘ Buy the Times, Sir," “Iluv the Chron
icle, Sir," ‘‘Buy the Sun, Sir,"“ By the World. Mad
■|»j * Buy “ Life in London,” Miss," *tc. A:c. in
all keys, from the rmuse dissonant noto ofthe old
man, to tho firm voice of tho middle aged* and the
treble tones of the youth. Olliers are besetting the
strangers in other quarters, who aro about to leave the
metropolis by pncKcts and steamboats. There car-
rit*rn, by way of inducement for persons to purchase,
often give a brief summary of tho most interesting
contents of tlioir respective papers, all claiming that
their journal con urns the most authentic accounts,
the very latest news, the fullest particulars—no mat
ter whether it bo a but'le in Turkey in which 6t),OUO
men have boon slain, a most diabolical conspiracy
discover d in Cato street in the West F.nd, or a trial
in a Court of law.
Ollier Curriers nro trudging their round among
their customers, who pay for them on delivery ; or, if
they he well known und well established, receive “
limited credit.
TV carriers purchase a greater number of papers
than they have customers tor ; nnd as the sales vary
almost daily, it may he asked, in case of a poor sale,
what is to be done with tho papers left on tlieir hands;
and, ns this is a frequent occurrence, how ore they to
lie remunerated for th^ir time, and from whence uriss
tlieir profits ? To shew how the carrier manages it, il
will he here necessary to go into some particulars
Tin* carriers daily nssnmhle at their “ Hullwhich
is n iiimlie place of resort similar to nn Exchange
(or M« rchnnts, triifging with them such papers as are
left upon tlieir hands, with a memotandqm of tho
orders they »m»y have to purchaso others; somo one
paper nnd sonic another, on account of its containing
nn interesting story in detail, or perhaps an advertise
ment in whieli their customers have somo interest.
At an appointed timo the exchange business begins;
•on curriers, passing rapidly bv each other, crossing
nnd rer ros mg, until tlio whole assemblage get in mo
tion, some with papers in their hnnd, and otherswith-
out any, mill :pg known their orders by aloud out-
nv. somewhat in the following manner—“ Who has
a 1 nuns to sell f” “ Who has a Courier to sell ? *—
•‘\>lio lias a Sun to si II r" “Will any body ex-
change n Morning Chronicle fur the Globe?" ‘‘Who I!
exchange u “John Hull” for an “Englishman?"
U ho wants to buy the New Times ?'* “ The Globe
mid, 1 roveller r" “ The Sun" !—” 'The Public Ledg-
*‘ r • t *’ r l'bo News" ! ‘‘Tho Watchman"! “The
Age'! «Jkc. A*c. Thus they run through tho long
catalogue of daily, m nii wcoklv, and weekly papers.
1 lie buyer and seller meet and cxchunge, nnd sell,
upon the best terms they can make with cash other,
until tlioir business is concluded, when they separate-,
carh to his respective offices to commence their route
for tlio evening pnpers. It is not a little amusing to
sun this assemblage, to hoar their jokes and gibes,
tlieir repartees, quaint phrases nnd plebeian wit ; to
see tlio oddity of phiz, dross und disparity of ago,
and to observe tho tact with which they manuge
their exchanges and sales, when in full meeting and
motion.
Such a variety of sounds nnd calls and names, with
tlieir hustlo to get tnrougli their business, is not less
novel than amusing. Notwithstanding tho daily sell-
ing of papers, more or less precarious, yet these
agents no* infrequently grow rich by their business,
ami, to show how they acquire their wealth vre must
bo permitted lo tell tho story. For instance, the pa
por is sold on Monday,to Mr. Goodfollow, the pro
prietor of the Gonso nnd Gridiron, in St. Paul’i
Church Yard, for seven pence; ho wants it but i
day; and on Tuesday lie s“Ma it to tlio carrier for
four penco—the c arrier, by contract, furnishes it to
j second or third rate nousu, at tho price of sixpence
buys it again on Wednesday, for threo pence, and fur
uislies itlo soniu small victualling house tho game clay
for four pence—h- ys it ngain on Thursday for two
pnnro, nnd sn|!« it on Friday f »r thron pence, to some
low-placo of entertainment-on Saturday ho gets it
for a penny half-penny, nnd then dispatches it to tlm
country nt half tlio original priro of the paper, whoro
i is read bv dozens, and paid for bv club reckoning,
or what is sometimes called in New-York, n T.ippan
muster. It is in this way that tho agents make their
money, nnd in this way only that thousands of per-
•ons in j.ngland get the reading ofnr.wsp, pent, which
tliey could not otlierwiao enjoy, ivoro they under the
nocnemtyof paying full prion. I’or, belt rcinoiiibor-
ml, tlie habit ia not lltero: * it it hern, wn moan the
nnoit or borrowing ; nor can n man po into a public
tiouse, and road n dozen paper*, occupying a light for
two or throe hour* in an evening and paying fiir light,

tjir ‘ ure but low places in London whoro

except that class who can nfi'ord not only lo pay for
tlie-o luxuries, hut who assemble for other purposes,
ntic.li as to meet friends, to take advantage of the con
versation of men of business Sir &o
In the ordinary publio houses, hut one, and in
olliora better supported, two of the daily, nnd pnihaps
one weekly paper are taken; and it is not uncom
mon for tlio proprietors to advertise ii in front of tlieir
houses—such fir instance ns "The Times taken in
horo," or, “ Tho Morning Post, ond British Travel
lor taken in bore." As most of the papers differ in
Iho matter they serve up to tlieir renders, eonio being
celebrated for the moet authentic foreign intelligence,
others for lull reports of trials, criminal cases, &c;
others for sports ol the ring, rucing, fashionable nr
rivals, police reports, chit-chat in high life, or foi whig
or lory principles, tlio admirers of nil those subjects
nro in lliu halut of paying their regular visits to pla
ces whoro they inny rend tlieir fsvorito journals At
theso houses to prevent nny difficulties, the nicest ot-
tiquotte is observed. Whoever first makes Ilia apenr
nnee asks for the paper, nnd to him it belonga fer the
first reading ; tlio person who asksfurit n-xt receive*
it in his turn ; the papors being handed to the waiter
by the person who first road it the moment lie bus fin
ished ; nnd in this wny it passes fiotn ono to the
other in regular sueneesion
Although this is tlio only plan that can ho adopted
lo prevent confusion, yet it lias its perpletitics, ns
aomo readeta detain it ao long that others, after having
wuitod for hours for their turn, nnd drank ilieir pint of
porter, and got dry again fur another arc compelled to
go away without a sight of it This however, is on
ly the ease occasionally, ns when persona nro in Ike
habit of daily visiting the same liouaos, they become
acquainted ; nnd should the paper contain any thing
unusually interesting, one of tlio company will read
the article aloud.
Regarding the routea or districts which oacli car
rier lisa for selling papete, it may not be nmisa here
to state, that such n district is considered as much
his properly as though he possessed a fee simple right
in it. Olliora will nut daro to interfere with Ilia right's
—nnd when he yields it, from whatever cause, it is
sold for a stipulated sum, with as much r.oromnuy as
the owner of a house and lot would life in transfer
ring tho property to a purclmsor. Theso districts, if
knownlo be good ones, often soil for a large aitm of
money. This, however, is not so singular, as it is
a fact, wliirh is said to be well authenticated, that
boggnra ill London havo frequently been known to
soil their right to ling in particular districts Wo have
known catricis of papers cvcu in Ihi* city to sell
their routes
Having remarked that tho sales of paper vary al
most daily, we know as well ns if wo hnu heard the
question put, that aome inquiative printer will ask—
" If Ihe sales vary dnily, how do they know how nin
ny papers to mike oft'? I should think they would
often “run tliurt, or liaet a great mauy ottr. They
munnge it in this wny After they linve tporlitdvjf
a certain number, they keep tho outride form stan
ding. Having printed the same number on the inner
form, the pressmen, to uso a military term, “ stand
at ease," and wail for tlio word to print 50 more - id

hour for the carrion to cotno in for nn extra supply

window watcl. ng the inovumonts, many thousand ox
tra papers aro sold.
Hucli a circumstance in London enriches the prin
ter; but in Now-York, (perhaps it is nut au in i’liil-
adelphia) if a paper contnirTtf any thing wonderful,
the printer notwithstanding the extra expense lie may
havo incurred lo procure hia story, is generally a
great looser, aa on aucli a day liispaperr will be stub

THE NEWSPAPER PRESS IN FRANCE.
In one of the French periodical there is ono acnunl
of tlio Newspaper Press in France, which, although
very imperfect in some of its details, contains many
particular* of interest. It isamted, tlmt thecirculstion
of one ofthe Paria papers (the Constitutionel) ex
ceeds 33,000 daily, and that the profits are nearly
750,000 frenrs per annum. Supposing the statemen.
aa to tho circulation to lie correct, the amount of profit
is not overrated, as will appear from the following
calculation . —The charge fur the Constilulionel to
tlio subscribers is 50 franca pot annum, per copy ; and
the expnnce of paper, with the stamp duty, which is
five centimes to Government, and a farther arbitral y
duty by the Police, amounting probably, on the aver
age, to 1 1-3 centimes, is about 30 francs, leaving a
profit upon the sale of each paper of 44 francs, or, for
the sake of round numboie, 40 franca, which will al
lew for tlio expencc of tho delivery in Paris. This,
upon 30,000 copies, would be 090,000 franca for the
yoar, from which wo are to deduct tho following ex

VV* are indobted for the following observation* on
tlm cultivation of Sugar Cane and the manufacture
of Sugar, to our enterprising fellow-rittzen Wm
Mntthawaon, Esq. or Clark* county. Uf Mat-
thewaon lias just returned from Louisiana, whora
he has been spending several wcoke, for th* ppr-
po*a of obtaining practical information from practi
cal men on this important subject The result of
his enquiries is embodied below, and coming from
• man who collected it far his own uee, end who is
preparing lo test its correctness on a reepectablo
stale, we are persuaded we cnuld not tender our
country friends a inoro acceptable service than in
giving it publicity.
Sugar Cane may he planted in the month of Jun-
unty to the lfith of llarch: It is planted in drill*
eim.lar to cotton ; the eene is laid in a fotrow opened
by a plough, and envernd about thrso inches d**p
with n plough or a hoc ; the hue is best, though the
planter cannot go on so fast with il ; the drill* for
creole ranoarc.from 2 1-2 to 3 12 feet a part—ribbon
cane requires from 3 1 2 lo 4 13 foot distance. Cre
ole race in planting must be lapped two joints, tbo
bull end top to be placed together ; an the joints at
the rnota of the cane are much closer than tho top, it.
is best to plant aa stated, prevent ita growing to*
thick -ills not necessary to lap the ribbon cane,,to
let <t meet is auftivient. In planting any kind of can*
it ia beat to nut each stalk in two, sftor it is laid in
the furrow, before it is covered, which is don* with
a sharp apadn. Cane may he planted in the fall or
winter a* well ns in the spiing.if c. plnntor has tint*
to do it ; three inalins ia aullicienl to cover it, and pre-
servo it from frost After the cana ia planted, run a
h bar.hero plough as close to tho cane as possible, then
the line ia to follow, und sliuvo down lightly the top
of tho row, and particular pains must bo take* when
the ratoon is worked to share lightly around each ra
toon or stubble, in order to loose the ground, that lb*
sprouts may cotno up with moio facility; then the
plough miiet run to throw somo ofthe earth to tha
plant, after which the hoo will follow, and tho samo
mode of working cotton is only afterwards roquired.
The Otaheite cano is to bo planted the same asiib-
bnn cano ; it is not esteemed eo valuable as the other,
cxc.opt on old land, it makes a darker sugar th*u
either the ereo'o or ribbon cane; it only ratoon*to
advantage ono year, the same ns tlio creolo cunc,
while tlio ribbni cano will ratoon throe years.
Tho cutting of cane dopeods entirely upon it*
quality of sweaness, which is known hy cutting it
and examining its sugar qualities—It is tho custom
in Louisiana to commence cutting from the 20th to
theSolhofOclolcr, and tlio finishing depends ontir*-

keep it quite safe. Tho wind rows ure put up pretty
much the samo, only unde long in place of round, as
already stated.
It is thought of gtcat boncfiito lay tbe tops of the
cane across tho rows, so as to save ino stubble or ia-
tuun from freezing wcathei, a slight liost will not hurt
cane , on the contrary, it is of service to il, ns il ri
pens and sweetens it—nothing short of freezing
weather will injure cane
About the 15ih or 20 of March, if ihe weather il
warm, tho tops which were cut in the fall and 1*1!
over the ratoons, nro sot on firo, whieli burns off im
mediately : il b; best to set them a fire against tho
wind, so ns to make the flame go on more grudual, in
order to burn the winds on more effectually. Tho
plough ia to run ns already doscribod, and tlio hue is
tu follow, in ordor to take every thing out of lh»
way of tho young plant vvheo coming up
It is nocessary to Imvo the land laid off in (quires..
Tho size of the squares depends on the dryness of
the soil. It is, however, a gonorslrule to hive tbe land
laid off so as to have a ditch every five acres front ; ‘
these ditches are to be kupt open, in order that tbe
rain may run off whenever tliote is wet weather.—
Horses, mules and cattle, tnay run ovor the cane-stub
ble witliot doing nny injury, except in wet weather —
l.’ogsmuat be kept off entirely, ns they would destroy
u. A ditch a foot docp an I two feet wide, for every
acre, ia thought In be of great benefit, so as to keep
the land perfectly dry. When the ratoon is plough
ed up, it is thought to ho of great benefit to plint
com in the same land, end plant peas among the corn
which is considered to be good manure. Five teres
of cane is consideed to he a good nvoyage to each
hand ; some, l.avvevcr, difil i on this heed ; aome Sty
more und some less; five acres, in my opinion, ia at'
good average, on a large plantation. An acie of cre
ole cane, any pl.mtod cone cut from the first year'*
planting, will plant from four to five acres ; that front
the ratoon or second yeni's planting, on account of
its being shorter, will only plant fiom 3 to 2 I 3 acre*.
Ribbon cane, or Utahvite cane, will plant from 7 to
II) acres—it is thought, however by some planters, that
from 5 to 5 is a good average -indeed, on this point
much depends on tlio length of the vane. Ribbon
cano, on account uf its being so herd, is not *o modi
in repute in the creolo cane—steam powor is requisite
lo roll il to advantage. Ilis thought that ribbon cut*
will flourish best on new land, und perhaps, in thn
general course uf five years, will pay the plantar bat
ter than any other cane—There is, however, • differ
ence of opinion on this heed—one thing is certain,
that the ribbon cane will stand liie cold better thin
any other cane, and w ill mature from two to th^
weekr oat tier than either tho Creole or Otaheite cam.
It is a mistaken idea, tlmt sugar cannot be mad* to
advantage with a small forco. Mr. John Canon,li
ving on Ays Sella, in tho Pairhof St. Mery'*, In At-
akapas, lias mado with three hands this season, S3
lilti' . of sugar, which will average 1300 lbs each,
und which lie cun sell nt his plantation at G1-3 cents
per pound, which will amount to $3,574—besides
1,320 gallons of tnnlusscs, el 18 eenta, which will
amount to $337 GO conts. This, however, ia an un
commonly good eiop : but on all plantation* in tbit
part of Louisiana, 1300 lbs. of sugar to tha sera may
be considorcd a genetal average for five years.
The expense attending tha mechiuery depend* an-
entirely on Iho size of the plantation and tbe views
r-f tha plan!**. Fron 10 to 30 hands, tbo reeetpry
