Qua ShIp News AND CoMMERcIAL DEPARTMENT
We have, within the last few days, reorganised ana
improved our ship news and commercial depart
ments. Hereafter, we have every reason to believe
that the Herald as business paper, will, In the daily
movements Of the markets, and also in Shipping IN
tellgence, both foreign and domestic, surpass, as 1t
has already DONE every other paper in this city, The
sprt pith and philosophy Of commercial affairs are
what men of business want. Dull records OF iacts'
without condensation analysis, or deduction, are 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 newsboat,
and employ daily several of the best collectors that
New York can furnish. But in addition TO eur 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 Tsazer, Celeste, and other fancy boats. we
will now threw aside the poetry Of life and state the
facts. These were the names we gave to the Pilot
Boats consisting formerly of seven now eight con-
nected with this port. For SIX months past the New
York Pilots, in addition to our own boat establish
ment, have furnished us with ship news. This ex-
plains the reason why on many occasions the ne
raid in these matters has outstrPped all the large
Wall street papers.
"a will be asked Why the New York pilots furnish
us with all their ship news1 We will tell. Neither
they nor we have any deGcacy about conceal
nent.
The New York Pilots are gallant generous fear
less, useful liberal, worthy set Of men. TAey Ike
the Herald-they like me-and we all like each ether
generally carry in my pocket liberal supply OF
eagles half eagles and such like tit-bts, which get
from the amiabIe little Chemical Bank in exchange
for small silver. When any of the pilots or their
bows get held offresh ship news, they come posting
10 the Herald office and give il me because they like
nv off hand, positive, Napoleon like manner 80
also when / receive such news, put my hand INTO
my pocket pull cut handful Of gold and very often
hand il over to the sweet pilot boys without counting
il, saying-"there, put that in your pipe and smoke
T." Yet DO not give them gold in handfAs for their
news No such thing. give it to the sterling pilot
boys, because like such set of bold, brave young
feows-because they have clever, respectable fathers
-amiable mothers--smar brothers-and some Of the
sweetest most interesting and pret,icst sisters that
ever blessed an age w,hal. 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 it be otherwise
This, therefore, is full explanation Of the mystery
of my splendid feet Of news boats, comprising tho
Teazer, Celeste, and their consorss. The good tech
ings and mutual esteem between me and the New
York Pilots exist as fresh ever. Indeed have
thought sometime next spring Of giving these brave
fellows splendid "blow out" eating dancing and
other enjoymene. II the times were not so tough
would do il now-but we must measure our breech-
a. according TO our cloth.
The Ship News Department 81 the Herald is there
fore tho most complete in triscty. Our marine
respoudence equal 10 and beyond that Of any other.
