.TrE CAUsE VYl-People ara wondering how it
happens that we regularly beat the Wall street
aad penny press in the receipt and publication Of
i,reiga news Of importance. IL is easily told.
ON Thursday afternoon, when the telegraph an
sounoed the Liverpool, Commodore Martin, Of the
Herald, and Commodore Lobcr, or Loaper, or Loaf
er, (probably the latter is the right speng,) of the
Wall papers, both started for the Narows to
sneet the steamer and board her. Commodore Loaf
or, Of the Courier l. Co. was ahead at first. lit
tie below the Nsrrows he hailed the steamer where
spsn line was thrown to him. He took hold Of it,
bat how to jump aboard was the question, Hamlet
says. Commodore Loafer, like the Courier, has
90 much id dead mutton in his breeches, and
little muscle any where else, besides the govt which
Ae caught frem Webb, as hard christians catch the
itch from Ssotchmen, that after swearing prayer
or two thus "d-n it, :" Cd d-n it," he let
70, and was left behind. He can catch black fish
1t Coney Island, but not steamers. Anon the Com
nodore OF the Herald had line thrown to him Also
Now, as Martin like the the Herald, is all muscle
bat his head, and that is clear aquaforts he caught
the line and was aboard in instant. At quarter
past four, the steamer hove to at Whitehall-Martn
came ashore, got carriage, drove up Wall street,
xavea couple Of papers to favortes Of the United
States Bank, to let them what pretty they
had raised in Europe-sung out " the Herald's pa
Pers for ever" opposite the Courier ofice-was at
the glorious Fl Ann street, at forty minutes past
four. Here had FIVE editors, twelve compositors,
tWs foremen. engineers, &C., in all 100 men and
nswsboys, waiting to fall upon tho news. By six
o'clock precisely, our EXTRA was out, down in
Wall street, selling fora shilling copy, just about
The time that Commodore Loafer was entering the
Wall street Offices, with his papers under his arms,
thinking they black fish. This is the way we
skin our cells.

We have beat the whsle Wall street press sercn

foreign news.
LoArER LIrERArUaE.-Some respectable ass, |
who calls himself Jonathan Slick, is writing long |
Prosy letters in the Express, which nobody reads.
The most brilliant and original writer in this species
Of literature, was the great original Joe Strickland
whose writings were short, brief, and witty. They
we're written by George w. Arnold, who kept lot
terry ONCE N Broadway, and graced the wspapsrs
In Az, ~, and g. Seba Smith, Of Portland, then
wrote the letters signed by Major Jack Downing
afterwards Mr.. Charles A. Davis, Of this city, the
second Jack Downing-now some person carricatures
them under the name Of Jonathan Slick.
We shall review all these imitators, and place the
great Joe Strickland in his proper position.
WILLS LYos.--No intelligence has yet reached
as Of this ship. A Havre packet announced be-
low last evening and il was said to be the Vile
de Lyon, but ii proved to be the Silvie de Grasse
The news too good 20 be true. The v. de l.. |
sailed from Havre on the 9Th Of October, and has
therefore been sixty days the passage but has
probably put into Madeira, Lisbon Fayal, most
likely the latter, for provision and to add spar
tue. She left Havre with ffty-two cabin and one
haaarcd and four seerage passengers, and il is in
con. e9uence ofthe number being large that mach
anxiety is expressed-not however, for the safety Of
the ship, for there 10 question Of that but for the
passengers feared that the provisions had run
short Messrs. Bolton, Fox Livingston, her agents
here, have not list Of her passengers we should
havc puDHsneu ~ ere anu lew uames arc
known. Among those is the family Of Francis B.
Cutting, Esq., Of this city. We believe every thing
is yet all right. We recollect two years ago the
Havre packet Erie, out about seventy days, and
great anxiety felt for her safety, when early
morning before the mist cleared away, Capt Funck,
her commander, was running up broadway to
where his family lived, and his ship safe At Staten L.
land, with plenty Of provisions board. Scarcely
six persons knew Of her arrival for hours after
so sudden. Newsmen would not board her, thinking
her to be the Flying Dstchman The Vile de Lyon
win probably make her appearance in the same way

their houses have been crowded almost TO suffoea-
