Oup Ship News AND COMMERCIAL DEPA RTMENT.-
We have within the last few days, reorganised anu
improved our Ship news and commercial Depart
ments. Hereafter we have every reason 10 oeheVe
that the Herald as business paper, will, IN the daily
movements of the markets, and also in shipping IN
teHgence both foreign and domestic, surpass, as II
has already DONE every other paper in this CITY, The
sp,rt pith and philosophy of commercial AFFAIRS 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, and
spirF.
Our ship news department, for this port, IS the
mos, complete in the country We own newsboat,
and employ daily several of the best collectors that
New York can furnish. But in addition to 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 Tsaser, Celeste, and other fancy boats We
will now throw aside the poetry Of life and state the
facts. These were the names we gave to the flot
Boats, consisting formerly of seven now eight con-
nected with this port. For SIX msnths past ihe I've"
York Pilots, in addition to our own boat establish

Wall street papers.
Il will be asked why the New York pilots furnish
us with all their ship news1 We will tell. Neither
they nor we have any delicacy about conceal
ment.
The New York Pilots are gallant, generous, fear
less, useful, liberal, worthy set of men. TRey IKE
the Herald-they like me-and we all like each other.

feows-because they have clever respectable fathers

sweetest mos, interesting and prettest sisters that
ever blessed an age withal. Indeed one half OF the

from their having amiable mothers and pretty SISTERS

This, therefore is full explanation OF the mystery
