NEW YORK HERALD.
The News aud the sp.cuin,ors.

We think We can do the community great
service by warning them against the horde of
souess spectators, that are taking advantage
of the awful visitation of Providence that the
people OF Europe are at present suffering under,
to make money and crafty their uuholy cupidity.
We have seen that they will destroy the mag
netc telegraph, and run a chance of serving
term in the State prison, rather than fail in their
cesigas. The press must endeavor to foil them,
and we believe that our warnings have done a
great amount Of good.
We again caution the public against these
knaves The Great Western is now due at this
port, and the Acadia will probably arrive at Bos-
ton in the course OF this week. Let the citizens
north, south, east and west, be on their guard,
then, and beware of having any transactions with
strangers, particularly those who appear anxious
to operate in breadstuffs and provisions.
Take care

the owner, and the fisherman was taking
