A NEw SYSTEM or REPoRrrNo IMroRTATIoNs OF
NEW YoRK News BY TIE WALL Strict PAPERs.-
Venly the Wall street press are quite swtqxs IN
their way. None but themselves can be their ma
rallel. Their impertinence and assurance Is only
equalled by the GOODNESS with which they avail
themselves OF other mems labors
Every body recollects the analysis or condensed
report we gave of the Rev. Mr.. Cheever's reply to
Bishop Hughes in our impression of Tuesday; il
was short, but faithful, graphic though condensed.
The same evening out comes the Newark Daily
advertiser with an abridgment-and an abridgnenl
very stupidity made-of our analysis, but, as may
be anticipated, without the slightest acknowledg-
ment of the source whence It Obtained the good
thing This is system Of literary pilferage which
we are determined to expose and uproot But the
funniest part Of the story yet to come, and it at
ords brilliant illustration of the spirit, enterprise,
and intelligence of the Wall street press. The
Journal Of Commerce of yesterday morning (Wed-
nesday) absolutely quotes the Newark Advertisers
pillaged article, and ads to it the following NOR
ccau, which is SO original in its way, that we can
not resist giving il universal circulation
tits not exactly in order to import news from own
city but finding in the Newark Advertiser OF last
ming notice Of Mr. Cheevers Lecture which suits u.s.
make bold to copy 1t.
This is what we call furnishing evidence of its
own utter inefficiency as apubic journal what the
Journal Of Commerce may consider it, we neither
know nor care. But this is just the system of the
Wall papers, their foreign news theirreports,
and every thing valuable to the reading commune
ty, are taken from the lower priced, but more en-
terprising papers, such the Herald.

have seen in of your late papers very favorable
notice OF my Steam Excavang Machine which had the

tee Others hasten to inform you that do not take
myself the honor lay any claim to the invention Of
that machine of all others invention unequalled since
the application of steam to motive power That honor
trey belongs the late talented and much amened Will

power OF attorney from the widow Mrs Otis, and others

ed that special committee OF scientific gentlemen be ap
