He has been ill for a long time and-his dissolution has been looked forward to, for several days. There was, probably, no editor or news paper better known all over the civi lized globe, than Mr. Bennett and his New York Herald. Owning it himself, he was under no restrction as to its pol icy or course, and consequently its po litical course has been variable. as per- soual policy dictated, audits utterances hurt nut can icd that weight or couvic tioa with' them, that lesser papers en- jojed. AS a neics paper, iuC always occupied the front rank among our creat metropolitan journals, and the fabulous prices it has paldjor news.and its liberality and determination to excel allits cotemporarics has made it what it is Mr Bknnett was born about the year 1800 at New Mill, Kent, in Banff- shire, Scotland, and emigrated to isos- ton in tho fall ot 1819 when he ob- taincd his first position as proof reader, and afterwards taught school. Iu 1822 he moved to New York and soon went to Charleston where he was employed on the Courier, In 1825 he started a hnt did not LIU 1 v . w - , succeed very welt, and was again em- oloved ou other papers. In 1833 he started the New York Globe, but only ublished it one month and ..purchased the Pentwileanian at ' Philadelphia lw. rpmninrd until 1834. In Mav. 1835. iuat 37 years ago, he issued the VIWWW - w - - W t first number of the New York Herald which he has controlled ever since with i . i Varying succes?, auu nuu uu uauc his name familiar on both sides of the Atlautic. His generosity to many ot his old em ployees and friends, and his cold blooded sacriiice of all who stood in the wnv of his Dcrsoual success 'and ambi- tiou arc well known. .Although well stricken in years and very, infirm, he held ihe supervising control over his managing . editors, and lis continued success h is been the result. Ot .its fu- t nru it will Km ll rrl tr BAT .T 1VT ITS Ci Bennett, Jr., has been trained to sue - ceed bis lather, in the eontrol of the Herald, but in overoearmg manner 01 ..... .. r dealing with bis subordinate editiors, many .ol them his superior in brain, has made him unpopular Mwith them, and we look for changes, not for the better in the o!d paper.'

Editor Evening Post : CONGRESS i Continued its last session longer than it has any other during the season, com- mencing at 11 o'clock yesterday morn- mg and continuing all night. It is now 10 o'clock, and even yet the starry old banner floats from the dome of the Cap itol. Logan, Nye, Edmunds, and Mor ril, the willing champions of tariff, free trade, rai 1 roads," canals, and x internal improvements, are the regular occupants of both branches of the law-making: power during its closing meetings, while Sumner and a lew otuers are Beiaom heard except ou matters ol International law and human liberty.
