WAS SHE PIRATE OR A MEXICAN PRIvATEER
We have received the following report from
Capt. Green, of the schooner Thomas Hooper,
arrived yesterday from ST. AIMS Bay, Jamaica
Tuesday, March 18th, in lat a2-ll, long ~ ats A.
M saw a ship which crossed our wake nearly within
hail and by signal given board we supposed all was
not right. At 81 sail on our lee bow, which i'm
mediatcly gave chase She proved to be low black her
maphrodte brig She neared so that we could plainly
distinguish her crowded decks She also appeared to be
well armed We have not the least doubt but that she
was a pratca vessel She continued the chase until 9
r. NJ, when she hove of for a Swedish bark.
We carried heavy press Of sail all night. The next
morning chase asern but owing to the superior
sailing of vessel, lost sight of her at IL NJ We
believe that the ship and bark must have suffered from
this vessel"
Whether this strange sail was pirate, or
Mexican privateer, or vessel of war, it would
not be amiss to despatch one of our cutters in
pursuit of her, to overhaul her if she be pirate
or privateer, or give her bit of advice if she be
man of war.

The MEXICAN WAR IN ENGLAND.-We publish
in another part of to-day's paper, some extracts
from the leading press of England, on the subject
of the Mexican war.
The same spirit which dictates every thing that
is written on the other side of the water about
America runs through them. The editors of
these papers must certainly be very anxious TO
hear from General Taylor, and from Vera Cruz,
and San Juan de UlIa. We expect the news will
soon reach them and give them another opportu-
nifty of relieving themselves of their superabund-
ant feeling

THE GRAND ILLUMINATIoN.-Judging from the
preparations that going on for the grand ilu-
mination and celebration on Friday next, there
is no doubt that New York on that evening, will
present most brilliant and magnificent spectacle.
The illumination, it is expected will be general,
and the glare from the ten millions panes of glass
will turn night into day. This extensive estab-
lishment, the HERALD BUILDINGS, will be illumi-
mated from to 10 o'clock.

The MERCHANTS ExcHANaE.-We are glad
to see that effort is being made to increase the
income of this company, and bring it up to a
proper point. The Rotunda has been used as an
Exchange for many years by large number of
merchants, many of whom have never paid the
first cent for the privilege The company have
determined to exact from every individual or
firm the established price for admission per
annum, and we trust that the merchants will
promptly and universally meet the demand. The
Exchange is an ornament to the city, and an honor
to the proprietors; and the mercantile commu-
nifty should do everything in its power to enable
the stockholders to retain possession. Unless a
proper spirit is manifested, and proper income
from the building secured, it will fall into other
hands, and the stockholders lose the whole
amount of their investment.

JUDICIAL NoMINATIoNs.-Some time since the
members Of the bar of this city appointed nom-
mating committee to select candidates for judges
of the Supreme Court from this district, and that
committee appointed subcommittee to noml-
nate eight gentlemen, of whom four would be
selected by the nominating committee. We un-
derstand that the subcommittee have already
selected six of the eight, and that they will Sc
lect theremaining twoIn day or two, and make
their report. Some of those who have been Sc
lected are men whose nominations we are con-
fdent will be responded to by our citizens gen.
orally. They ares
John w. Edmonds, Lewis H. Sanford, Daniel Lord,
David B. Ogden, Hiram Ketcham and Anthony L. Ro-
binson, Esqs
These gentlemen are we'll known in this COM
munity, and we think the nominating committee
will find it difficult matter to select four from
the eight, provided the two yet to be appointed
are as worthy as the six above mentioned. If our
future judges are to be men of the calbre and
requirements of these gentlemen, the city OF
New York will never have reason to regret the
election of judges by the people.
