HERALD MARINE INTELLIGENCE marine CO.
umns of the Herald present almost daily, arrivals
OF vessels at our ports and elsewhere to be found
in any other sheetn this city. This fact is known
to all the shipping merchants and men of business,
and was made particularly manifest few -1fays
since in the Court of Sessions the trial of Abraham
Gunst.
In the course of the trial, it became very impor
tant to show that certain vessel had arrived in this
city on the 10th of June, from Savannah The
counsel ordered search to be made among the va
rlous commercial Sheets" as they classify them
selves, OF Wall street, but no such arrival could be
found. The passengers were confident that she ar
rlved and the Wall street papers were searched but
no such arrival could be found. In this emergency,
James 8 Smith j. ESQ.,, asked it they had search
ed ''The New York Herald" when the person Sc.
lected for that purpose, replied "no, he had not as
they had told him IN one of the offices that ii il was
not in their paper he could not find it any where"
The Herald was, however, sent for, and sure enough
the 10th of June the vessel was reported, and the
names of the passengers found registered in full.
This is only one of the many instances of exclu
sive information in our marine columns.
