The New York herald., 1845-10-10

Courier, with its usual strict regard Tor propriety
has given what il desgnstes statement OF facts il
relation to the case Of the ship Auburn, Capt. Bur
rows, and the regular New York pilot boat Charlotte
Ann.
The truth is, that an individual named Calaghan
not Callahan, who was for some months seaman on
board United States surveying vessel, was on
board, as one Of the underwriters pilots, and the
ship was spoken by the Charlotte Ann, ten miles of
not six, he says in the Courier, and the services
of New York pilot were offered and refused. The
United States surveying schooner lying at anchor,
about two miles outside of the bar being in sight,
the underwriters pilot observed to steer for her.
probably thinking that she was at anchor on the bar
The New York pilot knowing that the course the
Auburn was steering would bring the ship to leeward
of the bar as the wind was southwest followed with
the intention of saving her from the imminent dan
ger of the underwriters pilots mistake, and hailed
her with the valuable information that the "buoy OF
the barr was mile and halt to windward, and the
underwriters pilot, thus made aware Of the danger,
Immediately altered his cours,. Fortunately for the
safety of the ship the wind hauled to the southward,
and she enabled to 20 clear 1t is true, that in
the indignation Of feeling, seeing many valuable
lives, and 80 much property wantony and gnorantly
New
York pilots and who Will not justify them The
ship escaped on this occasion by the greatest good
luck. Our New York pilots are ever at their posts,
in all weather and after years Of education, and
after the hazard Of health, life and property, they
justly find themselves deprived, nay cheated OF the
means Of obtaining livelihood, whilst the pub
lie safety is endangered, by the monopoly of
the New York underwriters, composed OF unexperi-
must not be mistaken for Owen Callahan, a well
tried and known New York pilot He, however,
does not presume to claim to be pilot for more than
drafts of sixteen feet and, as the New York pilots
on the occasion referred to, philanthrophcally fol-
lowed the Auburn, continually sounding, it is fact
susceptible OF proof that Caaghan actually got her
into only sixteen feet OF water To crown all it Is
also fact, that part owner OF the Auburn was on
board OF the New York pilot boat, and he was filled
with fear and trembling for his property, owing to
the display OF the apparent want OF skill by the un
derwriers pilot. For the truth OF the foregoing we
can refer TO Mr. King from the Office of John Taylor,
ESQ, who made the crulze for his health. But we
have the following additional and astounding facts
In relation to the mannerin which the insurers them
selves are deceived and the lives and property OF the
public wantonly trifed with in consequence Of their
Ignorant attempts 70 control the pllcage system of
our port. On the I'd instant, whilst the Charlotte
Ann was on her station, two vessels were observed
coming down from the city, and as their course dis
played gross ignorance on the part OF those in
charge, the captain OF the Charlotte Anne told Mr..
King, before referred to- that if these vessels did not
alter their course, they would certainly be stranded
The captain was true prophet Both did get ashore
The New York regular Pilot Boat-yes the Char
o!te Aun, SO much blamed for interference to save
life and property, Immediately proceeded to them to
offer assistance II was offered and refused Like
assistance was also offered by the New York Pilot
Boats Blossom and Phantom The names of the
ry Two vessels were the bar9ue Edwards, bound to
Texas. The barque remained on shore upwards of
two hours; the ship Star Republic three hours and
half. Neither OF them had any pilot on board. But
rAls sh.tC H. Ixl-
set himself up of the insurers pilots, and he
was to pilot himself and the ship; Captain Hendy
having, at the wharf, refused to take New York
Pilot, was to follow his wake, as appeared after
wards by the ships getting ashore and by his leav
ing his own vessel, she having hove to for an hour
and half after she got off, and going to the ship,
get her of likewise.
Thus il appears that these underwriters are will
ling to allow the vessels they insure to become un-
seaworthy in point OF law and fct, by the absence
OF the MASTER to the great hazard of life both ships
were fully equipped with men, had on board loads
OF passengers and such is the consequence Of their
increased, we should have had the journals of the
country filled with "another lamentable accident
and all tor the audabe purpose OF running the real
and legitimate pilots OF New York. What will be-
come OF lnsurances cargo if captains ssdevlate''
as Capt Buckley did! And this is not all as to the
Charlotte AIMS cruize, for upon the same occasion
the ship Patrick Henry was seen to go ashore, run
ming at least seven knots per hour. She had an un-
derwriter's pilot, one of their best men, on board
The Lord favored her with east wind, and a con-
sequent rise OF tide, and thus she only remained on
shore about five hours. But enough for the pre-
sent.
Fair Of the American Institute, at Niblo's.
The attendance has progressively increased every
day at this place, and the tasteful manner in which
the grounds are laid out, really very creditable
TO those who have the management Of them. The
scene in the evening is quite interesting Here we
young couple lost in admiration not of the ar
tices displayed, but of one another-hey move qui-
etly off to some secluded corner, and there employ
themselves, doubtless, In comparing notes of what
they have seen. There we see worthy couple, at
tended by numerous flock of children, who run
about like beings possessed, and shout aloud at each
new discovery they make. Again we may see a
foreigner pushing alone, land lost in astonishment at
the cunning workmanship displayed by those
paurres sduUdgeS, the Americans. "Dear me-" says
country belle, "what beautiful looking stove
that is-wouldn 1t look well in our hall at home %
"Oh my what fine SOUP" chirps out little girl
"Come, move on there and let us have chance to
see" says an eager Jerseyman "Guess they can't
beat those casslmeres anywhere" says down
easter. " Oh my!-John, what beautiful baby
clothes 7" says a wife to her husband. "Do come
and look at this case"m"What beautiful music'-
Get of OF my toesm,"Well, the country is certain
ly going ahead"-"Wha beautiful girl that is play-
ing on the plano"-and many such other exclama.
tlons are heard from the crowds that are every mi
mute pushing along. In the space near the fountain
great quantity Of ploughs of all kinds are display
ed, and many are the learned disquisltions heard
from erudlt ploughmen upon the merits and deme-
rits OF each one. This, you will see, is peculiarly
fitted for subsoll," says one champlon--"Ah, but
this goes the whole figure, says another-and SO on
to the end of the day. While we are writing abou
this fair we have thought it not lnapplicabe to give
such facts as bear upon the state of manufactures OF
different articles In this city, and show what amounl
OF capital is produced by them and the number OF
hands employed: We have based our observations
on the ground OF the census OF 1910. The census
which has been just concluded, and the results
OF which are not as yet known, WILL doubtless, show
an increase, proportonae to the increase OF the cit,
