The Last Foreign sews-Thc New York
PilOts-Agony OF the Wall Street Press.
The Courier and Enquirer and Journal of Com
merce, came out yesterday with some columns of
abuse, levelled at the pilots, because the Herald
successful in receiving and publishing the last
Important news from England, in advance OF all the
Wall street press. Both papers attempted to
foruy themselves for the attack with letters from
Postmaster Morris, Mr.. Philips, the agent of the
ship, by which the arrived, and from some
person named billiard. No doubt, they console
themselves with the idea that both the Herald and
the New York pilots are demolished and annihi-
lated, by their popgun artillery. In this, however,
they mistaken; for we come out as usual this
morning, and, by information received through
thcmagneuc telegraph, we learn that few OF the
pilots are still left and may be seen, with the aid
Of glass, cruising, usual, from fifty two hum
dred miles off Sandy Hook
The Courier says, that the letter bags OF the ship
and the newspapers for the Journal of Commerce
and ITSELF were secreted, and detained from the
closest and most jealous enquiry until Monday
morning
Now, we pronounce this most unqualifiedly false.
The captain Of the Liberty requested the pilots
TO convey the papers belonging to the Courier and
Journal Of Commerce to this city, and deposit them
in the post Office They so received them,
and did deposit them in the post Office that after
noon This fact be substantiated by affidavit at
any time; but il ia hardly worth the while to take that
tronble; and will take more than letter from Post
master Morris, or any one else, to overtuIn it, II
the agent OF the ship did receive the letter bag
1t was because he did not send for it. II he did not
know where to send for it, il was because the bar
keeper OF the hotel, where he stayed, did not de-
liver the message given to him by the boy whom
the pilots sent up with the bag. The whole matter
Is in nutshell. Everything was fair and above
board. These journals, however, must be more
consistent In their statements, if they expect them
10 have any influence. The Journal of Commerce
states that 1t did not receive its papers until half
past eight o'clock on Monday morning and to
strengthen Its statement, annexes a letter from
Postmaster Morris, in which he says that no pa
pers were delivered at the post office until ten
o'clock on Monday. Both these statements can't be
true. If the Journal received its papers at half past
from the Post-ofhce, and Mr.. Morris alleges they
were not delivered until 10, il ofrcourse fol-
low that Mr.. Morris knows nothing at all of the
matter. II his first knowledge of those papers was
at 10 o'clock, he could not say how much earlier
than that hour they were put in the office The
truth Is, the papers put in the Post office on
Sunday afternoon, and were detained in that office
until Monday This is more than probable, from the
fact that two letters for this Office, from Washington
arrived at the Post-offce on the same Sunday. and
although we repeatedly sent to the Post-ofice, we
did not get them till about 9 O'Clock on Monday
morning. Probably. if an application were made to
Postmaster Morris, he would certify, regarding
them, in the way that he did regarding the
papers of the Journal and Courier, namely, to the
effect that he knew nothing about them.
In regard to the abuse poured out by the Courier on
the pilots, that nothing. They have been &C
customed to such for years past, from Wall street
presses anda few interested individuals And the best
evidence of the fasty of the charges brought against
these enterprising men, we tnke from the article
in that paper. 1t says that in repeated instances,
foreign papers put in charge OF these pilots have been
detained, &c. Then it follows Of course that the
old pilots must have been the first to board the
foreign vessels get them; and yet these chaps state
that the pilots remain close to the Hook and are un
fit for the business It likewise says that the ar
rangements made by the Courier have usually rem
dered the enterprise of the pilots give the pub lie
the news through the Herald, futile Whether the
Courier arrangements for getting foreign news are
superior to ours, the files of both papers, for some
years past, will decide.
II the old pilots have been so inefficient as the
