This is great victory which we have achieved
over the lazy, humbuging, indoent, lying, rotten,
bankrupt Wall street press-but il is only a very
usual affair in the Management Of the Herald.
The facts are these:-On Tuesday afternoon,
about o'clock, Of our famous fleet, consisting
of eight everlasting clippers, ca He'd the Thunaerer
and sometimes the New Citizen, commanded by
Com. Hanmei, boarded the Oxford packet ship,
then bearing about thirty miles s. w. Of Barnegat

commercial community.'7 The wind blew, the waves
dashed high, but they kept on their watery way for
New York The distance from the point Of contact
between the Thunderer and the ship was serenity
miles from Castle Garden. Accordingly, at clock
yesterday morning, after twelve hours Of sailing
and rowing, they reached Whitehall, jumped
ashore if the devil after them,-one Of the
crew up to the Herald Office, 81 Ann street,

edition Of the Morning Herald, and in one hour, six
or seven compositors were at work setting up the
news and preparing for the issue of Extra About
s o'clock il was nearly ready. Soon after, the ex'
traordnary intelligence Of the probable triumph Of
the locofocos in Massachusetts was received, and
that also embraced in the same extra.
A little after nine o'clock the first edition Of the
Extra was issued. Our Commodore, Robert Martin,
then on shore, carried the first sheets down to
Wall street, put them the trees before the Office
sfthe Courier s. Enquirer, and the posts before
the Journal of Commerce Immediately the retainers
and loafers Of these dirty concerns began to crawl
out, observed crowds before their doors, rubbed
their eyes, which had been sealed with gin sings,
yawned, and stretched, and inquired what's the
matter To their establishment they found that
il was an Extra Herald, containing highly impor-
tant news from England.
This was the first knowledge they had Of the
rival.

Before the brokers knew Of the arrival, half the
operations Of the board had been transacted at high
prices. few newsboys appeared, crying out

aspect Of affairs changed in twinkling. Orders
for stocks were countermanded-and gociatons for
fancies stopped in mid career. Throughout the city
in couple Of hours, the same sensation created
The news was considered decidedly bad, and the
effect produced was like a shock Of electricity.

In every other apartment the Herald maintains the
like superiority; he il banking, commercial fashion
able, moral, or scientific. Every day the Wall
street press is going to the leeward, and the only
point that saves them from complete dissolution, is
the folly and want Of economy Of few merchants,
who yet adj rise at doube prices and long credits,
without getting half the publicity and circulation
