NEWSPAPER SECRETS. HOW TO MAKE A PAPER. [From Sharpe’sJLondon Magazlno.] Scewe—The Sanctum at tho Establishment. The Editor sitting with his hands in his breeches pockets, leuuing back in his chair, nnd looking very earnestly at the ceiling. Iu about ten minutes ho gets up and walks to the window, breathes hard upon the glues, ami nourishes a capital R. with his finger in|thu wet he has made.— Looks nt his watch, & rings thoj Prlntu’d boll. Enter Printer. Editor.—Mow touch matter have yon got, Mr. Pica ? Mr. P—(After a pause,)—Not more than two columns. t3ir. Editor—The devil! — How many ads* can you muster to-day ? Mr, P.—Three columus aud a half, sir, including quacks; but I must use 4 * When men of education and professional skill,” and tho “ Real blessing to mothers.” Editor—Have you no staudmg matter Mr. Pi—Not a line, Sir. I used the hist of tho standing matter yesterday, tho accouut of tho American Sen Serpent, which was left out. lull two months ngo, to.tnake room for the Fire in Fleet street. Editor —(Musing.)—Very well: I’ll touch your bell as soon us 1 havo any. copy ready. Mr. P.—1 he men are all standing still, sir, just now. If you have any matter which you intend to use a week hence, they may as well be going on with it. Editor.—(itumoges among his papers.)— Hore—tnlfo this 44 Romaulic Suicide.” It will do for any day when )ou want a half a column for the back page. [Exit Mr. Pica, and in a minute afier enter Reading Roy, iu a hurry. Boy.—Copy—if you please, sir. Editor.—1 have just given Mr. P. half a column. Boy.—Oh—I beg your pardon, Sir—I did not sea Mr. Pica—1 came from down stairs. [Exit. Editor.—(Puts iu6 hands into his breeches pockets again, aud begins to whistle a tune.) This will not do—1 must write something— but what is it to be about, 1 know no more than the monument. (Nibs his pen—settles his inkstand—and gets his paper ready.)— The Parliament is up—tho Law Courts have adjournetf for the long vacation—the Opera House & thejwiotcr theatres havcclosed-J* at the Iinymarket U English Opera Mouse they have both brought out pieces which aro hav ing a run—nothing stirring—not even a case of decent oppression in a night constable— or of tyranny in a police magistrate. Whigs and Tories have shaken hands, and political delinquencies are too common to bo either uew or scandalous. Tho editor of a daily paper muy bo npily compared to a galley slave. When the winds roar, and the tem- pest is abroad, and the waves swell, his bark inovc9 along swiftly ; but when the calm comes, and the sky is serene, aud the breeze is hushed, and the sea is smooth, it is then he must ply tho oar, and tug, and pull, and toil to give the vessel motion. (Takes his pen and writes furiously.) That will do for one of thoso short leaderttt about nothing— which look very much as if they alluded to something that could not be mentioned.— (Reads.) ‘‘There ere certain rumours afioat—upon a delicate subject which lias lately occasion ed a great sensation in particular quarters We are in possession of facts connected with this extraotdinary affair, which we may per haps feel ourselves at’liberty to montion in a few days. Meanwhile, all we can say at present is, that disclosures must take place, however painful they may be to more than one distinguished individual. We shall only odd, that the Duke of Wellington left town yesterday in his travelling chariot with four horses for Windsor, after a private interview of nearly three hours with an illuslri/jus per sonage; and that it iu reported his Grace ordered summonses to be issued for a cabinet council this day, before his departure from London. Wc shall not lose sight of this business.” (Rings the printer’s bell—Mr. Pica enters.) Make this the first loader, and you may as well pot it in double leads.]! Mr. P.—Very well, 6tr. There’s a long police case just come in, of a baronet’s daugh ter taken up for shop-lifting; and an account of the bursting of a gasometer which killed eleven men, three boys, and an old woman, who lived io a front garret over the way. Editor.—Use them both; thoi shop-lifting under the head “ Mysterious Charge of Theft 11 & theuccidcnt to the gasometer under th&t of “Tremendous Explosionl Fifteen Lives lost /” Mr. P.—We shall do better with the ads than I expected. Robins has just sent a loDg list of his auctions, which he says must go in to-day ; and Murray’s clerk has left eight or ten good bookbo I shall* be able to make out a full page without using tho quacks.J *i» o. Advertisements. f i. e. Articles already composed or iu typo, but not yet used ; such as good jokes that will keep a week or two—murders in America—or curious discoveries in the Ea6t Indies; tilings that will read as well^at Christ mas as in tho dog days. | “Leaders” are those important articles in n paper, which aro printed in large letters, and wherein tho editorial we is supposed 4o utter oracles de omnibus rebus. || “Double leads” is n technical phrase for a mode of printing which is employed only when an article,is cither supposed to be, or wished to bo supposed, euporimportant.— The lines stand wido apait, ond look like tho bars of a gridiron : or os the finger board of a piano forte would look, with all the white keys taken away. * $ It is necessary to remark here, by way of explanation, that there are gradations of rank and respectability in advertisements; and that a high aristocrntical feeling pervades their location in a well regulated paper. Tho quack ads, alluded to by Mr. Pica, are thoso benevolent a Hairs of aid to tho afflicted, which announce that “rheumatism and lutn- bugo are effectually relieved by a new pro cess ;” that “the most excruciating loolhncbo is allayed in one minute by an unrivalled ano- dyno cementthat “gout is cured without mudicihe in a low hours,” and “blotched faces in no time at all,” that “red whiskers are changed in a single night to beautiful shades of brown or blaok ;” that “the healthy functions of the stomach and intostinnl canal are restored by an improved domestic instru ment, &c. &c> &c.” Thrso are never al lowed to show their faces in the gemteel com pany of tho other advertisements, unless there happens to be a lock of gentility, but herd together in what is technically called tho “back page” of the paper. One of the Boston paprs appreciates tho music of tho famed Italian Opera, as follows : 44 Our citizens were gratified—wo pre sume—on Friday evening by un exhibition of tho real Simon Pure, Italian Opera. Al though nt tho risk of losing all reputation fur taste ond vertu, we candidly confess that a tuntivy us long as n lightning rod, accompan ied by a whirlwind of 4 * sound and fury” is to our nnpoiibhod ear, not half eo harmoni ous as Yankee Doodle from a brass jewbliarp* We derived much nmusemcnl however, from beholding the thawcks bcutowod by ono of the Sonora upon his own breadbasket, ah though wo caught ourself smiling lustily, when by the lugubrious phiz of a travelled friend, wo should have “ laughed ’tother side of our mouth,” or, in other words, sniv elled.” The Frencu Navy—A great effort Is making by Franco to augment her Navy, which is already second only to that of Eng land. According to a statement by tho Minister of Marine, she will have on the 1st of Junuary next, 52 ships of tho line and 63 frigates, besides n great number of sloops of war and brigs. The present number of offi cers ij 1001 ; or including tho e/eves, 1,365. The estimate of vessels to bn employed at different stations iu 1830, is 128; among which wc notice 0 for the suppresion of tho stave trade,and 4 for hydrographical surveys. The Navy of France is to tlmt of England as 6 8-10 to 12. As a specimen of “Canadian justice,” Col lins, of tho Frccmon, says— 44 JnmosFitZjribbon, the magistrate, found guilty of tho violent broach of the peace, waa fined one shilling nnd dismissed. Tiio editor of the Freeman, found guilty of only using the words “native malignancy” in roferrence to the Attorney General, Jest they might lead to n breach of tho pence, was commit ted to jail for one year, fined one thousand shil lings, nnd bound down to keep tho peace fur throo )care, in twenty four hundred dollars! Tho country that can bear this administra tion of justice, will hear any thing.” Tho Richmond Compiler contains a notice of nn Excavator, or Self-loading Cart, in vented by Mr. \V. Beach of Philadelphia.— It is descrt*od as loading itsclfin its progress by means of ono of tho wheels, which is hol low, taking up 40 square foot of earth in ono minute. This is carried to any distance as in a common cart; and tho load deposited or unloaded in less than half a minute, without trouble, by opening the bottom of tho cart. Tho inventor stales that one of his carts is now at work on the railroad within a mile nnd a half of the Schuylkill river, near Phil adelphia ; that it is worked hy a man and a boy and three horses, and removes and em banks in a day twice as much earth ns is re moved by three common carts and twenty men, who aro working at tho same place. A Law Question.—We, a few days ogo, witnessed something out of the common run of events,which wo think worthy of being no ticed A capt,which had for some days been resting quietly, molesting nobody, and harm less in its idlonnsa, in tho roar of a store ia Hanover street was run way with by a horse, who had no more right and title to it than we have. The chain was dangling from the shaft of the carl, and also one from tho gear off a largo wagon horse who was quietly mas ticating his rations. It appears that the hor se’s chain came in contact with that of the cart, and fastened ; which induced the for mer,from fright,or a lovo of nmcbieikto go off, not gently, or slowly, but with unbecoming speed; whereby tbo ill-fated cart was uncere moniously dragged after the animal and was shockingly disjointed. Now tho question if, who pays for tbo damage done to tho cart, ($5.50) ? Or, is tbo horse indictable for fe lony ?—or, was it a breach oft rust—or wan tonly destroying of private property ? Balt.
