Morning herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1837-1840, 1838-02-22


We have within the last few days, recognised and
improved our ship news and commercial depart
menls Hereafter We have every reason TO believe
that the Herald, as business paper will in the daily
movements of the markets, and also in shippng in
telhgence, both foreign and domestic, surpass as II
has already done, every other paper in this city. The
spirit pth and philosophy of commercial affairs are
what men of business want. Dull records of facts,
without condensation, analysis, deduction, Ut
terly useless. The philosophy of commerce is what
we aim at, combined with accuracy, brevity, and
spirit.
Our ship news department. for this port, is the
most complete in the country. We own a newsboat,
and employ daily several of the best collectors that
New York can furnish. But in addition 10 our own
establishment the whole corps Of Pilots belonging to
this port furnish us with ship news whenever they
have any of the article We have heretofore talked
of the Isazer, Celeste, and other fancy boats. We
will now throw aside the poetry Of life and state the
facts These the names we gave 10 the Pilot
Boats, consisting formerly of seven, now eight con-
nected with this port. For SIX msnths past he New
York Pilots in addition TO own boat establish
nent have furnished US with ship news. This ex-
plains the reason why on many occasions the He
RAID in these matters has 0utsriPped all the large
Wall street papers.
1t viii be asked why the New York pilots furnish
us with all their ship news? We will tell. Neither
they nor we have any delicacy about conceal
ment.
The New York Pilots are a gallant generous, fear
less, useful LIBERAL worthy set of men. They like
the Herald-they like me-and We all like each ether.
/ generally carry in my pocket a liberal supply of
eagles, half eagles and such like tit-bits which get
from the amlabe little Chemical Bank in exchange
for small silver. When any of the pilots or their
boys get held of fresh ship news they come posting
to the Herald Office and give it me- because they like
my off hand positive, Napoleon like manner. So
also when receive such news / put my hand into
my pocket pull cat handful of gold, and very often
hand it to the sweet pilot boys without counting
IT. saying" there, put that in your pipe and smoke
IT," Yet do not give them gold in handfuls for their
news. No such thing. give it TO the sterling pilot
boys, because like such set of bold, brave young
felowsbecause they have clever respectable fathers
-amiable mothers-smart brothers-and some efthe
sweetest most interesting and prettiest sisters that
ever blessed age wthal. Indeed one half of the
esteem bear towards the Pilots has been created
from their having amable mothers and pretty sisters
How the deuce could il be otherwise |
This, therefore is full explanation Of the mystery
of my splendid feet of news boats, comprising the
Teazer, Celeste, and their consorts The good feel
ings and mutual esteem between me and the New |
York Pilots exist fresh ever. Indeed have |
thought sometime next spring Of giving these brave
fellows splendid "blow out" eating, dancing and
other enjoyments. If the times were not tough i
would do it now-but must measure breech-
es according TO our cloth.
The Ship News Department Of the Herald is there
fore the NEST complete in this city. Our marine
respondence equal to and beyond that Of any other.

Now we trust that this call will be responded to,
and that full and unanimous meeting may exprsssts
views on the subject and in its sagaciiy devise some
means OF abating injustice, which IS fast becoming
