At tho close of the war, in 1816, it was about 6,000 a day. Tho de cided stand' It took with the masses, in favor of Queen Caroline, in 1820-1, gave it, unpre cedented popularity. On some occasions, its. casual sale was enormous. For instance, of the number containing “ The Queen’s Letter to the King,” (which piece ot clever audacity was actually written by William Uobbett,) at least 260,000 copies were sold, at the rate of .fourteen cents each—eight cents being then ppid for a newspaper stamp upon each single copy. The daily sale rose steadily from that time. In 1884,'when The Times suddenly changed sides, and strongly supported the Peel. Ministry, the daily circulation was about 10,000. For a time there .was a; falling off, which was tilled up by The Horning' Chronicle; bnt the publio placed great faith in The Times’s commercial and monytiwy abides, preferred its Parlia-, -TtieHiuy reports, rolfM I bh : its* foreign «mi pondehce, and, above allj asit had becombthe -greatest advertising medium in London,' were, in a manner,. compelled to refer to It for the various announcements it required to see. The circulation gradually crept up to its former standard—kept on the increase; fed by pnblio events of great daily ave rage of 22,181 in 1846, and had reached 89,- 00® in • 1861, beyond which its proprietors'; would not permit It to go, as they lost money by each copy over that number; and, in 1854, with tho advertisement duty wholly removed, and tho stamp supplements abolished, the cir culation, altowed.to run on its natural course, was auginonted to 51,648 por diom. It now is' about 70,000 a day. Hr. Walter' the Second was himself the writer of the principal loading articles in The. Times for several years alter its whole ma-, nagement came into his own hands. Then, during tho hoight of the European contest’ with France, the recognised editor was’ Dr. Stoddart, who chiefly distinguished himself by diatribes against Napoleon. Those conti nued so coarse and virulent, after that “fore most man of all . the world” Was an exile at St.. Helena,, that Mr. Walter remonstrated.- Stoddart indignantly resented, what he con sidered an interference with his editorial inde-: pendence, and established The New Time®,; In! 1817, which unsuccessfully attempted toj rival The Thunderer of Prlnting-housej square. - Dr. Stoddart (on whom Hone,', the; clever parodist and satirist, had bestowed the. sobriquet ol “Dr. Slop’ I )’was provided forj with the Chief Justiceshipof Malta, “ received the honor of knighthood,” and finally retired* on; a pension of £4,000 a year. The New; Times underwent several changes, and Anally appeared as The Horning Journal,' coarsely, edited by Hr. Robert Alexander,'which was crushed, by Government prosecutions, under tho Bromlership of the Duke of Wellington.: Thomas Barnes, a eotemporary of Leigh-, Hunt at Christ’s Hospital, and a very admiral ble Greek scholar, who had contributed liter*;; ry sketches to the newspapers, and was a Par liamentary reporter, succeeded Stoddart editor of The Times. Eventually be obtained! a sharo in the same paper, and, fqjr mady| years, had also tho salary of £1,200. Hg wrote very little as editor, but suggested sub* - jects for other writers, stated how he should!: desire to have them treated, careihlly.tcyis® [ them, and, in a word, exercised* | :cd4oifui^^o-.—-yr-i.iu . u,y-^^^cos^n td’rh was ah Irishman named Sterling, -(father of John., Sterling, whose biography had-been written hy-Themaa Carlyle) who wrote with singular ability, and force. Sterling, who was a half-pay army-captain, is said tq have 1 possessed snch limited general information that it was necessary to supply him not only with a subject, but with the principal details connected with it. Out of those he would composo articles which wore ominently in structive, and which commonly led The Times readers into such thoughts and convictions as wero deemed expedient for .the occasion. Sterling commenced writing for The Times in 1812—producing a series of letters npon public events, and took the signature-« Ve tus.” (Walter was fond of strong letters, and paid largoly, during the Reform oxcito mont of 1830-2, to Colonel-Jones, for his very personal epistles, signed « A Radical”).. By degrees Sterling rose to constant employ on The Times, and, from 1830 to 1840, was Its chief writer. Barnos passed away in May, 1841—his death accelerated by habits of in temperance. Contrary to general expectation, Barnes’s successor was a yonng and quite unknown man. The-late Mr. Dolane, (a barrister, and afterward a well-paid sineonrist as treasurer of two of tho LondonGountyConrts,)had charge, for many years, of the financial department of The Times. His son John, who had gradu ated at Oxford University, was appointed Editor of The Times in 1841, at a salary of £l,OOO a year, and has shown himself a shrewd, vigilant, careful man. It is understood that he dees not often write “ leading articles but his supervision of the contributions of othors is at once untiring and prudont. He visited this country a few years ago. In 1847, tho second John Walter died. He had been in Parliament, and had invested his principal savings in tho purcliaso of tho estate in Berkshire called Bearwood Park. His per sonal property alone paid probate duty as of tho value of £90,000. Ho was succeeded by his oldest Bon—the third John in that family. Walter 111 was returned to Parliament in July, 1847, for tho borough of Nottingham, without any candidateship on his part, by a constituency who gratefully romomber tho services of his fathor, thoir former represen tative, and lie continues in that capacity. Ho is a young man—ten years the junior of Editor Delano—having been born in 1818. Ho gra duated in Oxford in 1840, where lio took “ honors,” and, as bis Parliamentary spoeches and certain lectures to bis constituents have shown, has considerable literary taste and knowledge. It is understood that Mr. Wal ter meddles very little with the management of The Times, in which he holds three-fourths of the shares into which, as a property, it is divided. Tho principal writers in The Times, at pre sent, (under Mr. Dolane), are the Rev. Tho mas Mosley, who supplies the moro important leading articles j Sampson, who succeeded Alsagcr os writer of the city article, and sometimes gives a commercial leader; R. Morier Evans, now the city editor; Robert Lowe, M. P. for Kidderminster, who has charge of Colonial subjects; Thornton, who “does” tho Parliamentary summary (onco done by Horace Twiss, author of The Life of Lord Eldon); Tyas, “much renowned for Greok,” who wrote tho critiques on Lord Brougham’s Demosthenes, and showed his Lordship to have gone out of his depth; Mac donald, Historian of the Crystal Palace; Ward, a Quarterly Reviewer, who discusses sanitary matters; John Oxonford, tho dra matic critic; J. W. Davisen, the musical critique-writer, son of Mrs. Davison, tho once famous actress; and Dr. Richardson, who is supposod to do something lor the papor, hut rarely does moro than visit tho office once a week, to draw Ills salary. Thore may bo othors, bnt these aro now tho principal. The manager of Tho Times, now, and for sevoral years past—and really as much of tho Editor as Mr. Delano himself—is Mr. Mow bray Morris, a native of the West Indies, a barrister, and, beyond doubt, a remarkably clear-headed man. That he is tho last is proved, were other proof required, by the acute evidence which he gave in May, 1851, before the House of Commons’ Soloct Com mittee on newspaper stamps. It but remains to be added that, within the Jast two years, from augmented circulation .consequent on the recent abolition of the ■newspaper stamps, and the total remission of the advertisement dnty, the profits of The primes must be more than double what they Were in 1851, when they were estimated at Hearer £50,000 than £40,000 a year. The Iblear gain to The Times by abolishing the stamp duty is £22,000 per annum. The gain .by the abolition of the advertisement duty .(nearly £lOO on each day’s paper) would be -£BO,OOO a year. To gain additional profit, The Times has lately added ten per cent, to Slifß, tariff of its charge for inserting advertise* ztnonts—on the plea that it finds it necessary, .by higher prices than other paperß charge, '{e exclude a lower description of announce* ,manta! - - . ; j Letter from Washington* fttaW THE MONET COES—ANOTHER LITTLE SILT.

[For The Frees.] We werp congratulating ourselves with the idea that the hostility to passonger railways in our city authorities Was passing away; but the passage of tho ordinance by Seleot Council, at their last meet ing, ebows how easily we can be disappointed In our expectations of pabliomon, and how hard it is to have prejudice eradicated from the minds of prejudiced men noting in a publio c&paoity. The ordinonoo passed by Seleot Oounoil for the regula tion of passenger railways, is a shame and disgrace to the Counoiis of Philadelphia -.Were the pas senger railway oompanles monsters of vice, or bands of plunderers, belonging to foreign nations, intending no good to us, and having no interest with us in oommon as a people, or as citizens, I do not see how they oould be treated more harshly or dealt with more severely. The ordinance says, in moaning if not in words, you have built yonr roads; you oooupy our streets; you havo invested your capital, and spentyour money; and now, we h&vo got you, and we mean to bleed you—no matter if you have given hundreds of goffering men employment in the construction of your roads; no matter if improvements do spring up as if by tnaglo along your routes and at your termini, add ing to tho receipts of your taxes by tens of thou sands of dollars; no matter if the whole commu nity is furnished with a cheap, quiok, and plea sant means of oonveyanor, stioh as was scarcely dreamed of two years ago; no matter if benefits and blessings have acorned, in a thousand ways, to tens of thousands Of our citizens, without wrong or barm being done td any one—still, you are 1 ‘ cor porations;” you are “monopolies;” and yon shall pay for your privileges. Tljo money shall come, if we have to skin yon for it; we have the power, and whoever may suffer officers, stockholders, community, or passengors— we will show our brief authority, ana mako you suffer. This is the way wo will do it: Seotionl. “They shall be required to lay flag-stones or orossings, of not less than two feet in width, across the entire width of all paved streets oooupled by them (Market street, for instance, sixty feet be tween tho ourbs, where there has been a freight road for twenty years, whioh must now be orossed by flag-stones,) at oaoh and every publio lane, street, or alley opening upon any street or high way upon whioh the rails aro laid; and where no suoh street} lane, dr alley opens thereon, then the said flagging shall be at tile distance of not ex ceeding two hundred and fifty fdet.” That is, put them down in now places whoro they never would have beon thought of had not these “ monopolies” grasped our streets with their iron bands, and rode over onr very paving stones and orossings rough shod. But, gentlemen, why must tho rail way companies put in flag-stones? What have flag-stones to do with passenger railway? Why not mako them do something else—put in oulvorts, olean up street asbes, keep order along the streets, Carry paupers to tho almshouse, furnish olgars for Counnlß, or anything else you may choose? If orossings must be put down by somebody, why by railway oompanios? Why not by bnnking insti tutions, loan oompanios, omnibus proprietors, hotel koepers, or other monopolies? This flag stone Idea was started soon after the railways in Jhisotiy, and if U is not a “ North river" idea, and did not oomo through a “ flag-stone yard” a little slaok of business, then the author of it do serves a flagstone medal for his originality. But no matter where it oame from, it was something to impose upon and give trouble to railway oom panles, and or oourse it “ took,” and Seleot Couuoil passod it, and these “monopolies” will have to tear up the streets every two hundred and fifty feet, for the purpose of—what? Tripping up horses and improving the li flagstone” busi ness ! We shall look at seotlon second in No. 2. Is it Right 4 Editor or Tub Press : I wish to call the at tention of your readers—more particularly the farmers—to the oourse now being pursued by the Commissioner of Markets in referonoe to the ronting of stalls in Market street. Having held n stall therein for the lost eighteen years, 1 presume to speak from a dogree of know ledge. The year has always commenced on the Ist of February, as the rocelpts for all that time, dearly prove, with only one exception, In 1855, when a uesporato effort was made to oheat the farmers, by exaoting the full year’s rent, and giving receipts for eleven ■ months only— thus violating tho aot of Assombly. which oxpressly provides thnt for farmers’ stalls tho annual rent shall be $2O only, and no more. The attempted swindlo was robnked by an outraged people, and receipts for the subsequent three years were given as formerly, tho year commencing on the Ist of February. { . . , Councils having dooidod on ft removal of tho market houses, wo now find tho commissioner ex acting $5 for a term of only two months , onding on the Ist of April, thus oheating the farmer by demanding throo x months ront, and receipting for two monthß only. The commissioner is doubtless acting in obeaionoo to his. instructions, and of courso is not personally implioatod; but Is not this a very small business for tho great olty of Phila delphia?

The Kansas Troubles--Further Outrages by Montgomery and bis Band* [From the Jefferson,City Examiner, Jan. 6.] We learn from Mr. J. 8. MoComb, the bearer of a petition to the Govenforof this State from the ouitens of Bates county, Missouri, who arrived is this oity direct from there, to-day, the particulars of another startling outrage, committed by tbe robber Montgomery and bis band, in that ooanty, on the night of the doth of December. ■ Between twelve and one o'clock on that night, Montgomery, with about thirty of his myrmidons, attacked the home of a very wealthy farmer, Jerry Jackson, Esq.,, who resides twelve-miles west of Butler, in Bates ooanty, about two miles from the line between Missouri and Kansas Territory. The’ house was a large two-story frame/with a forty feet L running backtowards the north. Mr. Jack son's store was in the lower room of,the south por tion of the building. The robbers first broke open the door leading into tbe hall, but were fired upon by the inmates. The fire becoming toe hot for them, they retired, but rallied again, and proceeded to the northern pact of the building and fired it. Tbe flames soon spread to all parts of It; the band in the mean time having surrounded the premises, to eat off the-escape of the inhabitants, proceeded to fire Into the windows, one of the ballßstrflring Mr. Jackgm for tirafaoa^j^trnvlnyhl«nofte- ..Thy three men who were r with him—his son, law, and one other man—out of the building, who succeeded in making their escape. The three men who were with Mr. Jackson were sot fired upon, but several volleys wore let.off at Mr. Jackson, who returned tbe fire, and succeeded, it is supposed, in wounding one of tbe rasoals. Montgomery stole four horses from the place, and then went over the line. The balding, which was a new one, and very eostly, together with Hr. Jackson’s large stock of goods, farnitnre, Ao., was wholly consumed. No thing was saved bat his books and papers, which his wife had taken the preoanilon to remove to an oathoase, anticipating the attack. Fortunately Mr. Jackson’s wife was also In thebuilding, which was left undisturbed. 'Hr. Jackson’s loss* from' this murderous attack was'in the neighborhood of $6,000 or $B,OOO. The negroes, on, the first intima tion of the attaok, all fled to a neighbor’s, and. were not molested. Oar information tells na.that this band of robbers and murderers had been threatening Mr. J&pkson for some time; past, -ow ing, to his strong pro-slavery sentiments, whioh he eared not to have Known. A number of other residents of that county have also been threatened, and may be yob bed and murdered at any moment, unless the strong arm of Judge Lynch Is extended in their behalf,' or they receive aid from our sufficient to bring Montgomery and his band to justice. This is the second express that has come to this oity in the past two weeks calling for aid for that portion of our State, and we sincerely hope that something will be done to rid the oountry of, this organised band of ruffians, and that speedily. Martin White, one of the persons that Mont gomery had sworq to kill, is from the State of Illi; noia. He Is a liberal free-State man, but of coarse using his efforts to put down this band of rubbers. For this reason he has incurred their displeasure, and endangered his life and .property. The Great Eight-wheel Oar Suit—The Patent Defeated —The'case of Ross Winans against the New York'and Erie Railroad Compa ny, for a patent covering the eight-wheel oars, whioh was tried two years ago, before Judge N; K. Hall, in the Circuit Court of the United States, at a term held at Canandaigua, in which a judg ment was rendered against Winans by a jury, under the ruling ot the oourt, and! then appealed by him, was, on Monday, the 10th last.. decided against Winans in the Supreme Court of the united States. . The highest judtoial tribunal affirmed the judgment of the Circuit Court.- Thus ends one of- the most important patent oaw that were ever tried in this oountry, involving, as it did, in its issue, millions of dollars, and effecting directly every railroad company in the United States. This decision establishes the feet that Gridley Bryant, formerly superintendent of the Qaincy Railroad, Boston, and now of Soituate, Mass., and Horatio Allen, formerly chief engineer of the South Carolina Railroad, and now of the Novelty Works, New York, were the first originators of the eight-wheel ears, now exclusively used on the rail roads in this oountry,’and destroys the only eight wheel patent ever granted for originating the eight-wheel car—the one to Ross Winans, of Bal timore. —Albany Argus.

Mr- Anderssen arrived in ' ***** J“Jh«^sthult., tut on account of the ilia ness of Mr. Morphy, was confined to Ms bed by a severe attack of influenaa, the game waa postponed until Hie, Monday following, "at twelve* o clook. In the Interim Mr. Anderssen played ft match of five games vrith Harr wits, Morph** liW opponent, two of whioh' were drawn—two wero won by Anderssen, afid one by Hanwitt. The match between Morpby-andAndemen was played at the former.gentleman's, hotel,No..l Bue.dn Dauphin. According to the Times* correspondent the greatest excitement prevailed, and an arrange ment was made by whioh the game .was kept on three boards at tbe Cafe'dela Rsgenoe, (only a few blooks distant,)*'domestic carrying the moves every half boor. Thus the large crowd collected - at theOafe were enabled to follow the progress of the game. - The'game was commenced in Hie pre sence ef -Messrs. Lequesne, of - the Institute, Da Saint-Amant, Arnous do Riviere, Journoud, and two .or three personal friends of the players, who. W«e invited especially,as 4 Professor Anderssen arrived .appreciably* 12 o clock, in company of Messrs. Prate and Oarline. mr. Morphy, who had not yet risen from* bed after nis late Indisposition, did not appear for half an Jour, and when-he did join the party, looked so pale and feeble, that'lt seemed as u be was risking too muoh in undertaking the task he bad before he doorared h!« head all right, and rapidly shaking bands with his adversary aha Jjf rt P he stopped at once to the board, seized a black and white pawn,- obahsed them under the table, and held out his hamPfor the Professor, to make -a choice. Mr. Morphy won the move, and Thegame* commenced at onoe with Evans s Gambit. It had been’agreed upofi. in pre vious interviews, that tbe winder of the first seven games should be the viator. No money was staked bv the contestants, and bnt little by the friends of toe parties, for it was generally oenoeded that Mr. Morpby was sure to win the match.’ His friends, however, wereofferinginthednbsofPiiit and London ten to one, without takers. tThe first game lasted seven hours, and was won by Prof. Anderssen. During the course of this game, which was oon'duoted in the most brilliant manner, and hi which were displayed an* immense'. number of the,most ingenious combinations on. both sides, I had a good opportunity of studying the contestants. Nothing could be more unlike than the physique of the two players. Mr. .Mor pby is a fraU small boy, with a fine face and head, and a modest, almost timid air. Prof. Anderssen, on the contrary,-is a tall man, slim, about fifty, years of age, with * small, bald head, a"slight' stoop in the shoulders, lively black eyes, a oleaa shaved face, and a decidedly German oast qf fea tures. He is-a quiet, gentlemanly.man, with ft sympathetic expression of tbe face, whioh Imme diately predisposes in his favor. During the first game, Mr. Anderssen moved* mere rapidly than his antagonist. The first game ■ had extended to seventy-two mores; when Mr* Morphy resigned. - Not a word- was spoken by either player during the whole seven houn. No demonstrations or false moves were made by either patty te indioate to the 'other his plans. There seemed to be more originality, more genius; more of the imprevu in Mr. Morphy's.movea, andmore of ptudy and ,experience in those of M. Andaman. The two men are. evidently more nearly matched ~ th4n they ever .were before ' On Tuesday the second game was played. Mr. Anderssen; having the first move, played the '* Ruy Lopes*' opening. After forty-fonr moves were played,' the game was - drawn. The third game was. played on CTsdnes- ~ day.

Mr.Klaudsr was the owner or a property fronting on Sutaw street h and ’extending book toMiller’* court, a court running south from Baoe street, below Eighth. At the rearena or the lot a wall, fifty-iix feet tosg.'seven feet high and nine inches thick, had been ereoted several years ego. Font Isohes of the wall was on the coart, the property of Mr. Jones. The plaintiff, .a widow lady, with two childreo, was a tenant of one of the houses on this oonrt It was alleged, on the part of the plaintiff, that this wall was oat of repair anddangeroui, and that on the 4th ef November, 1866, Mrs McGrath, as usual, was engaged in fixing a line on the wall, for the purpose . of hinging clothes, when it gave way and buried her in thayoins. Her thigh and right arm were broken, and • she received other injuries, of a. serious character. She was taken to the hospital,, where she remained nearly fire months, and she Is still a cripple to some extent.
