Dun ShIp News AND COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT
We have within the last few days, reorganised and
improved our ship news and commercial depart
ments. Hereafter, have every reason TO belleve
that the Herald business paper, WILL IN the daily
movements of the markets, and also in shipping in
tegsnce, both foreign and domestic surpass, as 1t
has already done, every other paper in this city, The
spirit palh 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, brevty, 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 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 Eliot
Boats, consisting formerly of seven, now eight con-
nected with this port For SIX msnths past the New
York Pilots, in addition 10 our own boat establish
ment, have furnished us with ship news. This ex-
plains the reason why on many occasions the he
raid in these matters, has outsrPped all the large
Wall street papers.
II will be asked why the New York pilots furnish
MS with all their ship news7 We will tell. Neither
they nor we have any decacy about conceal
ment.
The New York Pilots are gallant generous, fear
less useful, liberal, worthy set OF men. Tsey ike
the Hersd-they like me-and we all like each ether
/ generally carry in my pocket liberal supply OF
eagles, half eagles, and such like tt-bs, which get
from the amiable little Chemical Bank IN exchange
for small silver. When any of the pilots, or Their
boys, get held offresh ship news, they come posting
10 the Herald Office and give il me- because they Ike
my off-hand, positive, Napoleen.lik like manner. So
Also when receive such news put my hand INTO
my pocket pull out handful of gold, and very often
hand il over 10 the sweet pilot boys without counting
it, saying" there, put that IN your pipe and smoke
it," Yet do not give them gold IN handouts Tor Their
news. No such thing. give It TO the sterling pilot
boys, because like such a set OF bold, brave young
fellows-becouse they have clever respectable fathers
-amiable mothers bro thers-and some ofthe
sweetest most interesting and prettest sisters that
ever blessed an age withal. Indeed 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 nv sps,dd feet Of news boats, comprising the
Teazer, Celeste and their consorts. The good feel
ngs and mutual esteem between me and the New
York Pilots exist as fresh as ever. Indeed have
thought sometime next spring Of giving these brave
fellows a splendid "blow out" eating, dancing and
other enoyments. II the times were not SO tough
would do il now-but we must measure our breech-
es according TO our cloth.
The Ship News Department Of the Herald is there
fore the most complete in this city, Our marine cor
respondence equal to and beyond that Of any other
