We have within the last few days, rsorganiseo anu
;mnrovea our ship news and commercial depart
ments. Hereafter, we have every reason 10 pehe''
that the Herald as business paper, will, in the daily
movements of the markets. and also IN Shipping IN
teligsnce, both foreign and domestic surpass' as
has already done, every other paper in this city, Inc
spirit, prh and philosophy of commercial anars are
what men of business want Dull records OF facts'
without condensation analysis or deduction, are ut
terly useless The philosophy of commerce is what
we aim at combined with accuracy, brevity ana
spirit
Our ship news department, for this port, is the
most complete in the country. We own newseoat
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 oeohshs -
this port furnish us with ship news whenever they
have anv Of the article We have heretofore talked
of the Tsaser, Celeste, and other fancy eoa's' We
will now throw aside the poetry Of life ana sa'e me
facts. These were the names we gave 10 the rno'
Boats consisting formerly of seven, now eign' con-
nac,ed with this mort. For SIX msnths past the New
York Pilots, in addition to our own boat es'a''Sn'
ment. have furnished us with ship news. Inns ca
nl,;ns The reason why on many occasions the he
raid in these matters has outstrPped all the large
Wall street papers.
II will be asked why the New York pilots furhish
US with all their ship newsl We will tell. Ne''he'
they nor we have any dehcacy about cehceai-
ment.
The New York Pilots are gallant, generous lear
less, useful LIBERAL worthy set OF men, Isey nA'
the Hersd-they like me-and we all IKE each ''he'.
/ generally carry in my pocket liberal supply u
eagles, half eagles, and such like t-bs, which gel
from the amiable little Chemical Bank IN exchange
for small silver. When any of the pilots, or Their
BOYS, ge, held offresh ship news, they come posting
20 the Herald Office and give it me- because 'hey IKE
INV off, hand positive, Napoleen.like manner 80
also when receive such news, put my hand INTO
INV pocket pull out handful of gold, and very eiten
hand il over to the sweet pilot boys without counting
il, sayirc- there put that in your pipe ana smoAe
it," Yc 40 not give them gold in handfu!' for their
news. No such thing l give il TO the sterling pho'
bows because like such set Of bold, brave young
fellows because they have clever respectable fathers
-am;able mo,hers-sm artbrothers-and some ofthe
sweetest most interesting and prettlest sisters that
ever blessed an age withal Indeed one hah OF tue
esteem bear towards the Pilots has been created
from their having amabc mothers and rety sisters
How the deuce could il be otherwise
This, therefore is full explanation OF the mystery
OF my spleadid fleet Of news boats, comprising INC
Teazer, Celeste, and their consorts The good ieei'
ings and mutual esteem between me and the New
York Pilots exist as fresh as Indeed Lave
thought sometime next spring Of giving these brave
fellows splendid elbow out" eating dancing and
other enjoyments. II the times were not so tough

es according to our cloth.
