tical Economist, who has examined the two papers,
will at once adopt, Gin seriousness 'soberness and
truth" In fact, who ever heard Of the statistics oil
the NewYork Express? Who regards their
riis-or republishes their details? We look into the
Express for w,ttcisms-for frivolous jokes-for oc
casona good hill OF attic w-or keen attacks on po-
litical opponens-but for thing valuable, in
The way of finance, Political Economy. We see
able views in the Evening Post, the Journal Of
Cnmmerce-but never in the Express. We would rs
soon think of seeking diamonds III The sands OF Arabia
Petiul. The Express 10 destitute OF the industry or
the information, necessary for such vocaiion--bul
whatever be the reason certain il is, that has never
produced such recherche articles such just views
Of the hloated paper credit, of the opprcs-

"bold and superior spirit, which has, tor so long
time distinguished the money articles OF The Herald II
is not wonderful that amid such lncessant stream ol
money articles, for long period from year 10 year
and from day to day, Mr. Kettel should now and then
be guilty OF mistake either of fact or OF position
but The real wonder how he has been able TO write SO
many and such articles and thus preserve the
value and the reputation Of that department OF the lie

you will-bu Mr.. Brooks has such taent-and II Is

of readers who never even heard of MIR Brooks money

As for the silly attempt Of the Express. or of the
scrbher in the Richmond Wing in New York. or oil
the Richmond Wing, to make responsible Tor atf, or
for any Of the articles in the Herald, except those we
specfed-as for holding liable for quoting from
"Benne the very worst of all the infamous characters
connected with the most infamous press IN the world
must say, that it is shallow an attempt as u Is
dsiDgenuous. It's the trick OF sophs', when cannot
impose even upon the Cuus of the Express and the
Wing We do not endorse the character Ut The Herald
I've are not the sworn knights Of Mr. Bennett, lie must
defend himself, and his own columns we conhne our
selves 10 the Money Head of the Herald; and we say
that it is just idle 10 depreciate those articles
because they may be found IN bad company, as II
would be TO deny any value TO the press, because
have such ridiculous sophis,s among its Editors,
those of the Express and the Wing. But enough
from our own pen on this subject. Correspondent
who personally acquainted with Mr. Kette has fur
nshed few lines which we lay before our readers
in justice 10 an able and abused individual:

Struggled out of Virginia, at a very short no

at the money articles Of the New York Herald
1t has been the fashion for these gentry 10 at
what they never hope TO rival; and we can tell
this pretended Virginiau, that assertion is not proof
for we happen to know, from information which can
be relied upon, that the money articles OF the Herald
sought after, have more confidence placed in
them by real, moneyed, substantial men, mot yonr
SPECTATORS md rotten, exploded bank rats in every
city in the United States or Europe, than any other
paper this country Besides, the author Of the money
articles is not foreigner, but an American and has been
sought after by than paper to seduce him from
his presen, employer. And why' Because they know
he has that Of talent md industry which Of the
other papers possess With The exception of Mr. Gouge
who, believe, is connected with some paper in New
York And lastly, the Express, the wonderful Express
