The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1846-01-23
TO Newspaper Editors throughout the

Country.
The attention of all newspaper editors, through
out the country, who exchange with the Nsp York
Herald, or who wish to exchange with it, is called
10 the present position Of the New York Pilots and
the remorseless and atrocious persecution waged
against them by certain clique OF stockholders in
Wall street, for the most selfish and malicious pur-
poses.
The editors Of all journals Of the city of New
York-East, West, North or South-who will turn
their attention this subject, and do proper Justice
10 the case OF the New York Pilos--such Justice as
their own sense of propriey will suggest-wi re-
ceive from this office all the latest foreign inteli-
gence received here during the next two months, a
period when the steamers at Boston only occasion
ally visit us.
1t will be recolected, that during the present
month, next, and probably part of March, three
fourths of the latest intelligence from Europe will
be received at this ports and that to the efforts
of the New York Pilots, the whole country
will be indebted Tor the earliest transmission of this
news, through the office of the New York Herald
The New York Pilots own thirteen swift sailing
schooners. They number IS men, and 65 more
brave boys. They cruize from 10 to $50 miles from
Sandy Hook and on various occasions, after they
have boarded vessel bringing late and impor-
ant news from England, after supplying the ship
with pilot, they put one of their men ashore on
Long Island, and Immediately send an overland ex-
press to this office.
In the present ticksh condition of the relations
between the United States and England, this volun-
ary enterprise by the New York Pilots for the bene-
fit of their country, will be properly appreciated by
all independent and right minded men throughout
the country; always excluding from this category
that centre of rascality and infamy-Wall street.
Forten years past these honest and hard working
have been prosecuted by the Wall street cliques, and
slandered and abused by their journals but they
have reposed in confidence in the magnanimity and
justice OF the Legislature, and they now throw
themselves and their cause upon Congress and the
country, and especially upon the good sense and
magnanimous disposition of editors throughout the
land, beyond that horribly infected district-Wal
street.
All such journals, throughoutthe country, that will
in proper manner, direct the attention OF the peo-
pie and OF Congress TO the manner in which these
men have suffered for years past, and to the base
motives that have instigated this persecution. will
receive extras from this office of the latest inelli
gence, from one to tico days ahead Of every other
newspaper establishment in Nep York Those who
decline to do this, and who are on the exchange list
OF the Herald, will be treated with due decorum and
attention. We hope they understand us. This
state of things will last for three months to come
We hope again that all editors understand us

Highly Important from England. by Pri.
waite Correspondence.
We have received very important and interesting
private intelligence from high quarters in London,
by one OF the recent arrivals, which, with many ad-
ditional facts, communicates fuller and more ac-
curate view of the present anomalous situation OF
England, and her position in regard to this coun-
try, than any thing which has been seen in the pub.
lie papers. In It's date ths.nelligcnce is not more
recent than any thing which has been received but
It reveals an air OF mystery which the Ministe-
rial crisis IN England appears to be yelled from its
commencement, and which will continue during its
whole progress to some final determination.
The intelligence which we have received is cor
federated by private accounts from Washington
which also emanate from high quarter, and which
are OF such nature lead to the opinion that we
shall all be completely disappointed with the news
expected by the next steamer from Boston.
The recent Ministerial change in England, by the
retirement of Sir Robert Peel, and the return Of
Lord John Russell to organise new government.

highly favorable TO the continuance of peaceful re-
lations between England and the United States and
that il will, probably lead to an immediate settle
ment of the Oregon question, by a compromise
based upon the accepting of the 4sh degree, with ad
ditional arrangementsfor increasing the Commercial
intercourse OF both natons by means OF diplomatic
arrangements and mutual legislation on both sides
II is expected that the first thing which will engage
the attention OF the new Cabinet Of Lord John Rus

the basis of latitude ~, and the immediate COM
mencement of negotiations for commercial arrange
ments, involving commercial concessions on each
side, and modification of the tariffs of both coun-
tres by the legislatures OF each 1t is now ascertain
cd that the original announcement made In the
Times OF the 4th of December, which produced such
fever In the public press throughout Great Britain
stating that repeal of the corn laws had been re-
solved upon by the then ministry, was merely rmse
de guere OF journalism and politicians. This start
