PITIABLE-the Pltbeian's diatribe against the
celebration on Bunker Hill. We confess that we
were hardly prepared for such exhibition of that
accused spirit of party malevolence and folly,
which has frequently dsgraced the party press in
this country. If ever there was national festival
a of rejoicing in which the hearts and senti-
ments OF whole people mingled one anthem of
hope and triumph, it was that of Bunker Hill. The
mau who could dare TO treat such occasion with
levity or disdan, d the fate of him, whose
unhaIIowsd hands proaned the ark OF the covenant.

STEAMBOAT EMPIRE. We have received the fol-
lowing communication relative to the merits of this
| new boat, in which the successful operation Of
Lghthals "hafbeam engine" has, we believe,
been satisfactorily established -
EDITOR OF THE HERALD
SIR believing You to be friend to improve
ment Ihave been induced to ask the favor that you
will, by making true statement OF the performance
OF the steamboat Empire, correct the erroneous I'm
pressions that abroad in relation to that boat,
and the half beam engines, which in my opinion,
both for workmanship and working are unsurpassed
In this or any country
Ii is true the boat was started before she was
ready every thing was new and had to be tried, and
yet what new boat ever did what she has done on
her second regular trip, to surpass IN speed the
fastest boat on the river, the South America!
Generally speaking, month at least is allowed
new boat to get In order, but the Empire started
from the ''score" at speed of eighteen to nineteen
miles an hour through the water, as ascerained by
Mr. Stevens, and number of scientific gentlemen
on board. Now if there is boat afoat and in per-
feet running order, that can accomplish even that
speed, should like to have her named, even at the
present time, while the Empire is running tor the
purpose OF getting in order She makes all the neces-
sary landings" everhauling the opposition boat in
the bays, and gets in before her; and let tell you
the Curtis Peck is no easy boat to beat-she ranks
among the fastest upon our waters, being small and
easily handled, she will make the same Landing IN
half a minute that takes large boat four minutes;
and when boats are going mile in three minutes
| and quarter, having twelve landings to
make, admitting they both make the same, one
boat must be great deal faster than the other to do
it, and yet the Empire has done it,! and every day
will do ii easier
In about fornight's time the Empire will be in
perfect order, and if you will then come on board
you will be convinced that what | have stated Is
true, and will boat and patriot engines worth
looking at.
The Empire left Albany on Saturday last at 20
minutes past made six landings, which occupied
in all "a minutes, and arrived at New York 35
minutes past o'clock, making her running time
hours and SO minutes, against tide from Poughkeep.

was passed at Dobb's Ferry. about % miles from
New York, and arrived 8 minutes after the En-
pire. Both boats made the same number of land
ings. Yours, &c.

We remind the owners and conductors of these
boats that however friendly we may b. to improve
ments in our mode of locomotion on water, yet we
cannot allow any trials Of superiority in speed or
capacity, which obviously endanger the lives of
passengers to pass without merted rebuke. This
steamboat racing has been in too many cases allow

are these. Some time since stir was made to get
an Association on foot TO protect the emgrants from

give any bonds the Mayor might deem requisite, has
been refused permission to be on the Dock at Sta

sengers-and everything is done by the Agent for
the Doats to prevent any emlgrant from using the
cheap and expeditions route per railroad for Buffalo;
