NJ. Reu~etrs Letters-- Honesty and Dis-
In is well known that Mr.. Bennett is in Eng
land-it is equally well known that he has written
and will continue to wne for the Herald better letters
than were ever penned by any European core spon-
dent for any American journal. He was invited
with several Of the most distinguished OF Rag
land to attend the launch Of the British Qaeen.-
Capt Roberts knew he was there, and knew ne
would write home a better account of il than would
appear from any other source. Capt. Roberts there
fore naturally desired 10 see Mr.. Benefits account
Of the aunch he therefore wrote 10 the agents here
Messrs. Wadswor,h g. Smith, requesting them 10
send 10 him some OF the Heralss containing Mr..
Benefits account of the launch.
This letter of Capt RS was sent 10 all the leading
papers in the city, including the Herald. ana al %
them ru.iiated it, except The Star! We thank You,
Maicr Noah for this act of honesty; we despise the
res, for Their paltry course OF conduct.
The massage left out by all but the Star" was
this: Send me some of Bennetfs papers about the
launch and dinxer efhe British Queen"
This passage they all feared except the +" Star"
and their sense of homes was than their fears
Now was net this mean and paltry of the other pa
persl The fact is they tremble for their overgrown
sheets-they know that Mr. Bennett will annlhiate
them!
And now let the public Judge for themselves upon
the reative merits of James Watson Webb and James
Gordon Bennett, They both have equal facilities
they both are equally well known by reputation to
the English public; let see what use they have
made of their time and talents since their absence.
Mr.. Bennett, in the space of eight days, has written
and forwarded twelve letters valuable and interest
ing Mr. Webb has written and orwarded-nothlng!

The Commercial, of course sarbled the letter with
the rest They have devated from their usual course
for il is the first article which knew them to
steal without stealing il entire!

The above is part of speech gwen by man
named Caxron at some dinner in Bristol.
Great God can il be possible that Captain Hosken
could have authorized this man. Caxton, TO say such
things as are here set down. II is impossible. After
the kind treatment which Captain Hosken received
from the citizens OF ~ York it scarcely be posi-
BILE that he would sit by and hear such vlainous IL
bel as that uttered by this Caxton upon city with
out promptly contradlctng II.
If he did sit silent through ignorance, we will en-
tighten him. We will tell him that two weeks before
the Sirius arrived, the Corporation, in Common
Council assembled, on motion of Alderman Hexie,
resolved to appoint depuanon TO wait upon and to
greet the Sirius when she arrived! and Aldermen
Hoxie, Patterson and Greenfield were appointed tina,
dsputation! The Great Western was not mentioned
That deputaioa did wait upon the Snus-dd greet
her did greet Captain Roberts the first gallant
commander tina, ever brought ship from Europe to
America by steam. No base Paltry bubble was talk
ed about or thought of relative TO drawing line Of
distinction between Great Britain and Ireland! Eu.
rope! Europei was the word used by Aid. Hoxie
The passengers who told Claxton what he assert
I'd, told HIM lie! a base, wicked and malicious lie
We stood BY the side Of Alderman Hoxe and the
Mayor when they stepped up the companion way Of
tAe SIRIUS and know what they said. They, as the
representatives Of the city, greeted Captain Roberts
the first commander that crossed the Atlantic
from Europe 10 Amercs, by steam!
