THE MOON.

We have received the first number of a weekly newspaper for the blind, which is printed in Dr. Moon's embossed type. This type is said to be simpler than that of the Braille system, which, to those whose sense of touch has lost its delicacy, is somewhat difficult to acquire. It is published by the National Institute for the Blind ; the annual subscription is 8s. 8d. ; and the matter consists of Home, Imperial and Foreign news in the form of brief notes, besides a paragraph of " Latest News." We wish The Moon every success : it is worthy of every encouragement, for the value of its object can hardly be overestimated.
