Ink Press. THE BAR, THE BENCH, AND THE Pull
PIT.-We believe it was Dean Swift who said that
ne could always manage to make dinner off Q
Cheshire cheese, and that, when hard pushed fol
the subject-matter of sermon, he invariably took
fling at Popery-he therefore called Popery his
Cheshire cheese. The bar and the gospel in Ale-
ghania appear to regard the newspaper press as
their Cheshire cheese. When our judges, lawyers
and divnes are sorely pressed for peg ON which
to hang eloquent denunciations of the shocking i'm.
morality Of the age, they take fling at the daily
press, and always according to them it is the ever
flowing source of plaques,
Which worse than Egypt's land befell,
Dihused make earth the vestibule of hell
All this is one of the best evidences of the salu.
tary influence Of the press. 1t is the great control
ling power in society which prevents the despot-
ism OF the priesthood, or of forms Of law, and il
thus the great ally of justice and religion. Public
opinion begins to regard this matter in the true
light, and the assaults of judges, lawyers and di-
vines upon the independent newspaper press, are
pretty generally regarded in their true light

AFFAIRS OF THE PlLoTs are determined to
give to the public all the facts hear concerning
the pilots of this city. They are much abused
class. and we mean to set them in their proper po-
sition and keep them there.
Since the abolition Of the pilot law, and the
opening of this port freely to every one, our pilots
have had persons to deal with who are exerting
every means in their power, in contemplate, un-
demanded way, to iDjure them. If these persons,
one OF whom was a commissioner under the old
law and who feels spiteful and revengeful because
we suppose he has lost salary of 1000 year,
would come out boldly, the pilots would not care
fig for their enmity or opposition; the pilots are
not afraid of any legitimate competition; they are
ABOVE every petty unQerpldy.
1t appears that those who seem disposed thus to
injure one of the most worthy classes of our cit-
zens succeeded only by falsehood. There now
being no law regulating the price of piIotage, these
mean creatures report to the owners and captains
of vessels that the pilots can and will charge what
they please, and will be extortionate in their de-
mands / AS this may have an effect with some, we
wish to set the matter right. We are authorized to
state that the abolition of the law far prices
are concerned, is only nominal affair; that our
pilots will make no change in their way OF doing
business; that they intend to make the same
charges; that they will cruise to some distance at
sea; and that the captains and owners Of vessels
will scarcely be aware Of any change in the law of
the State.
If, after this, we hear any thing further of the
mean intrigues to injure our pilots, we will give
the facts and figures in the case, and then the COM
munity will have it in its power to tell whether the
pilots are not more right than wrong. .
HEALTH OF THE CrTY.-The bills Of mortality for
the last few weeks have been SO large as to have
attracted very great deal of public attention.
There cannot be doubt that vast amount Of
disease and death might be prevented by the adop
ton and enforcement OF proper sanitary regu-
latons. The location of this city IS one Of
the NEST salubrious in the world, and the cli-
mate is remarkably good. With SO many ma
tural advantages, and with such means Of
cleansing the city as the Croton water, New
York ought to be the healthiest, cleanest and
most comfortable city in all Alleghania. But in
consequence of the gross and criminal neglect Of
the mum cpal authorities, this metropolis has be-
come bye.word on account OF its 6lthiness.-
Poisonous effluvia constantly arising from the
garbage and ofial in the streets-the dwellings Of
the poorer classes are dilapidated, over-crowded
with inhabitants, not ventilated, and abomnably
observation-disclosures and other nusances are
scattered over the most densey populated parts Of
the city-and the Croton water, instead of dispen-
sing health and purity throughout every street and
alley is shut up, and in many localities escapes
from the pipes, and sinking into the earth, sends up
noxious miasmata, ,.carryng disease and death into
many dwelling One of the very first matters to
which the attention of the new Corporation ought
to be directed is the sanitary condition Of the city,
and the adoption of proper regulations for the pre-
servatioa ofthe public health. E
| THE COURIER AND THE "YouNa WHras"-The
Courier is now trying hard to eat up its abuse Of
Mr.. Selden, and publishes long rigmarole articles
about the necessity of conciliauon and unity. Il
wont do. The influence of the Wall street press il
confined to few stock -jobbng ciiques. and cannot
control the young whig movement so auspciousy
commenced by Mr.. Selden. We will, however,
have some very amusing and interesting develop.

quarrel, and will soon be enabled to give the pso-
pie some curious reports.
