The conductors of the New York Tribune are lying without motive, aud Bgainst their own interest, or ihey haVe put ap a printing machine whiob realises the dream of the most advanced newspaper proprietors, and gives to the passion for hurry the greatest gratification it hag ever yet received. They assert that Messrs. Hoe have pat on their premises a press 5 feet bigh, 6 feet wide, and 24 feet long, which can (urn out 30,000 copies of their paper an hour, ready folded for delivery hy post. " The entire process is absolutely automatic. A roll of paper half-a-ton in weight, and four and a-half miles long, and in width just double tbe length of oae of the Tribune's pages, is hung on a horizontal axis over the press, tbe end of the big ribbon is pushed into the machine, a lever starts the revolutions, and as the roll untwines, oomplete copies of the Tribune, neatly folded and ready .for the mail issue in fc*o streams at tbe end of the machine, no hand touching them from the time the half half-ton roll is swung iuto its place till the boys gather up the folded papers and deliver to the purohasers or turu them over to the mail clerks."
