The Revolution in the Newspaper Press--
War the New York Pilots.
The corrupt, rotten, bankrupt insolent Wall street
press, have been thrown into such an agony of re-
sentiment at the distinct and positive beat we gave
them on Tuesday, in catching the late foreign news,
that they casting about every direction as to

from Havre to the Sth of January and Paris of the

thanks for his good intentions in endearOrng to put
US in pos of files at the earliest possible
time, and none the less indebted to him that
gross fraud prevented his intentions from being car

to the New York Press, upon the promise Of deli

cannot be used until purpose of their own can
be subserved, liable to answer for the knavery;
and, il contemporaries OF the same OPINION,
they shall for it, At all events, IT is our du-
y to call upon the Legislature of the State to look
little into the pilot laws. There are other abuses
that would be all the better for little remedy.
This false, miserable, impudent libel on the New
York Pilots put forth by the Gazette, the dirty
organ of the whoesW all street press. Now what

quently, of the boat establishments, owned by the
press. For this service, the newspapers have been
in the habit Of paying the gallant "boys"-not the
pilots-and the boys got it perquisite. Some
two years ago more, the Wall street press took
IT into their heads to down and libel the New
York pilots, and all This was not enough, but
soon thereafter, for some other, they began
to cheat the boys out Of their hard earned perqui
sites for collecting the ship At this moment,
the "Courier and other papers, owe the pilot boys
large Of money, for which they get nothing
sheer nothing, unless they shave of w GIBBS whis-
kers, and sell them to make mattresses WITH or take

Noah, to put them into of his shops in Chatham
street. In this state Of things, we caused it to be
announced to all the pilots of New York, and we
again announce it, with open countenancc before the
broad day sun, thus: Let the pilot boys bring the
news to me, and I'll pay them always in cash down
Il don't deal on credit In-pursuance Of this Of
fer, the gallant young pilot boys have brought the
news for many months past, and we believe, in no
instance, will it be said that have cheated them
out Of their dues, as the Wall street rogues have
done.
This is the secret of our beating the Wall street

but we are perfectly willing to leave it to the pub

"rascality"
In relation to the particular case Of the Duchesse
d'Orieans, we have some reason to be dissatisfied
with Captain Richardson, and the part he took in
the AFFAIR. About ten o'clock, Monday night, he
was boarded by the pilot boys Of the James Avery.
They asked, as they were authorized by us TO do,
for the packages belonging to the "New York
Herald" To this request, Captain r. replied, 81
wont give them to you, unless You also take those of
the other papers" Now, to this we distinctly OBJ

and enterprise, will at once, that with much
propriety, Boyd & Hincken's line of packet ships
should have right to detain him on his way acrsss
the waste Of waters, because he may arrive sooner
in New York than they.
On a former occasion, the " Courier ADVERTISED

packages Co New York pilots NewYork pilot boys.
That was right, for they in debt to the pilots,
and the pilots did not TO trust them more. We,
liver our packages to the New York pilots and pilot
boys. What right has Capt. r. to break up our ar

the commercial letter bag ashore at the Narrows
and Il was IN town Tuesday morning at o'clock
thus enabling the merchants to get their French let

the pilots not done so, at their risk, (for they
