The _Evening Express_ is the property of the brothers James and Erastus Brooks. It is well managed, and well edited, and is regarded as ranking next to the _Post_ in ability and general excellence. It is said to be worth $40,000 per annum above expenses to its proprietors. The _Evening Mail_ is younger than either of the others, but not far behind the best of them in ability and interest. It has a decided literary tone, and is one of the most enterprising news purveyors in the city. It is now a thoroughly successful enterprise, and it deserves its good fortune. The _Telegram_ is little more than an evening edition of the Herald. It is owned by James Gordon Bennett, jr., and is a lively sheet, full of news and gossip. It sells for two cents, and has a large circulation. Its first page always contains a rough, but sometimes spirited cartoon, caricaturing some notable event of the day. It is a paying paper. The _Evening News_ is a penny paper. It claims to have the largest circulation in the city, and is said to be very profitable. It is devoted almost exclusively to police news, and descriptions of crime, and finds its readers chiefly among the lower and rougher portion of the community. It is owned and conducted by Mr. Benjamin Wood. The evening papers are generally issued in four editions, at one, two, four and five o'clock in the afternoon. On occasions of unusual interest, they often issue extras every hour until late in the night. The evening papers contain the latest news and gossip, and a variety of light and entertaining reading matter, and are bought chiefly by persons who wish to read them at home after the cares and fatigues of the day are over, or to kill time in the cars on their way home. There are three daily morning papers published in the German language, the _State Gazette_, the _Democrat_, and the _Journal_, and one evening paper, the _Times_. The _Courier of the United States_, and _Franco-American Messenger_, are issued in the French language. They are also daily morning papers. All are well supported by the citizens speaking the language they use. II. WEEKLY PRESS. Exclusive of the weekly editions of the daily journals, there are about 133 weekly papers published in the city of New York. Some of these are literary journals, some political, some the organs of the various religious bodies, and some devoted to the interests of trade and manufactures.
