The Jury then retired.
TaRrk O'CLOCK, FRIDAY MoarlSo-The jury have not
yet agreed fy
New YoHx PLoTAeE-The sWall street press"
seem determined to give the pilots no quarter
they abuse them, let them do what they will. We
really believe that they will next find fault with this
Woodworking class for kissing their wives and little
ones on their return to their fresides from peril
Gus cruise at sea.
z The Courier & Enquirer of yesterday made a
characteristic attack upon these meritorious men,
because our Legislature has fit, in its wisdom,
to throw open the potage OF this port freely to the
world. No one, however, would care for the at
tack if il had not uttered one or two wiliul false
hoods. II says:-
In proof sf this moy state, that week twg
igent packet cnpsins seemed quite disposed exult
10 what they assumed ould be the misshsf Of ropeang
the law "rhere are" said they, " no laws now-nc
ules-n0 penalties 60 out, stay at home and
fon cruise. we perceive vessel in danger without
pilot we are at liberty TO mske our own bargain with
her. and our terms are not complied with can leave
her to her fate"
This statement must appear ridiculous to every
one. What man would utter the sentiments thus
expressed They may exist in Wall street, for all
we know to the contrary, but we sure no pilot
OF New York ever harboredlsuch in his thoughts.
We should like to have the names Of the Nv pilots,
and the packet captain, who were engaged in the
conversation referred to; and we have no doubt
but that the New York pilots themselves would also
like to have them. We believe that we should be
justified in offering a small reward for their names
in order to place the matter in its true light before
the public.
But all this abuse of our pilots will I avail
much. The law, throwing open the piiotagc, has
passed the Legislature, and received the signature
of the Governor. tits in force, and so far, has
worked well. The New York pilots continue the
business in the same way as before; they pilot
vessels in and out; they cruise to the same distance
one and fifty miles and more-at sea; and they
move along precisely in the same business-hke
manner as if no law had been altered, or no unmi-
tigated abuse heaped upon them. In the creation
Of new pilots, none but citizens Of this State will
be countenanced, and only those who have served
regular apprenticeship to the pilots now in exis-
tence, will receive licenses Let us see if anythi ing
better than this can be introduced.
Dix has passed through the city en- route for WASH
ingtoa, where he will take up his residence to
pervise Governor Marcy or any body else, and di-
rect the appointments of President Polk in the
northern States, if he can. He has plenary powers
from Governor Wright and Mr.. FIagg, TO restore
the Van Buren, and Benton Office holders who arc
Gen. Dix desires, he is TO be threatened with the
hostility Of the Albany iunto.
