NEW YORK HERALD. se teak Satariey: Beeomier 8 == IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. Weekty Herald. ‘This publication will this week be a very insteresting and veluable one. It will contain the opening proceed ings of Congress, the Prosidemt’s Mossage, ‘he Report of the Secretary ofthe Treasury, and the highly important news brought ty tte-sipamship Cambria, as well hat en of the West. we reedy at 8 e’clock this morning, at sixpence Report of theid@ueresery of tiie” Trewsury—A New System of National Finance, This report, given to-day, is one of the ableet clearest and profoundest documents of the kind which hasever emanated from the Treasury De- Purtment. Jts views and reasenings in favor of a | revenue tariff and an independant treasury, com: | bined, ns « general system, are entirely conclusive, and reflect the greatest credit upon the mind which originated such principles, and the mind which has re-produced them. Mr. Welker, on finance, will create a deep sensation, Mr. Walker's letter, alto, upon Annexation, produced a great effect, two years ago, throughout the Union, from the clearness of its principles and developments. It produced evident- ly the same effvct upon the minds of ull thinking and intelligent persons which the present surprising | production will do on the commercial and financial Clisses—that was completa and masterly from be- y to end—through and through, and round So is the preseat. speak in these warm terms conceming there » because we have certain feelings and ‘isguised paternity towards the principles and ideas they contain. We could not sneak otherwise n relation {o our own offspring, even although hid under egy other man’s habilements ; for, aceord- ing to the Holy Apostle Paal, “ He that doth not are for his own offipring hath denied the Saith, and 8 no better than a hiathen.” Now, the fact is, the whole scheme of finance developed in the report, embracing the tariff and ub-reasury, operating as a generel system upon the currency and oommerce, which is so ably described in the treasury report of Mr. Walker, has been all taken—body, boots and breeehes—from the columns of the New York He-uld. Icis the very plan of national fiaance which we have been endeavoring to impress on the ent public mind and the ignorant politicians, e last two years, equally embracing in one system—the tariff and the system of cur- —which united, will produce the best protec- and »t the same time prevent inflations and Mr. Walker has ingeniously taken up these principles without aeknowledging their pater- # he did also in the case of Texas annexat‘on anons letter relating to Texas, was entirely a luction of the views detailed in the New Fork ald, during the eight previous years.

Thus we admit, from the bottom of our heart and feelings, and all around the circumference of our old coat, that the Treasury Report 1s the very beg; | that hi the pr ever proceeded from that department, and in sent instance only inferior, and hardly infe- or, to the great message of the Napoleon of demo- cracy himself.

Ships, with pilots on voard,arerun ashore; the shippers of goods put to | eal inconvenience and lose ; and the owners of in- rance stock injured in the value of their shares. Is there no remedy for this? Are theives of hun- dreds, nay, thousands, to be wantonly hazarded by the folly of one or two individuals? Within the last week, the packet ship Europe, out- ard bound, with eupplies of food for the starving people of Ireland, was run ashore in broad day light ; and the packet barqué Chancellor, inward bound, with important news from South America, met with a like misfortune, and her owners put to a con- siderable expense to repair the damages sustained, These two events have occurred on the edge of the winter; and if we are to jndge from this little xperience, the few ensuing boisterous months open with a view somewhat frightful to behold, fords usnota little satisfaction, however, to | e that neither of the above vessels were in charge y of the old New York pilots. ire three classes of pilots for this port: the ew York pilots; the New Jersey pilots ; dthe merchaat pilots. The first class number about eighty experienced men, who were born and rocked in pilot boats. They have about a dozen splendid schooners, which are condnually cruising, quently to the distance of three hundred miles tsea. They appear on the edge of the hori- zon, miles and miles distant. The eecond clara ave been produced in New Jersey, a State owning sve or no commerce. They number about twenty, snd own two orthree boats. The third class are @ blunt set of chaps, generally apprentices from the w York boats, but who have not yet been six nonihs as pilots, They have been started into exis- e by a few nen in Wall street, one of whom is uperintendent of wrecks, and another a chart dealer, and, therefore, anxious to discover all the shoals and shallow places in our harbor. This is cer- tain'y commendable, and probably legitimate enough ‘n its way; but itis to be hoped that our govern- ment will not appoint the merchant pilots, or any other class of pilots, to survey our harbor with packet ships and packet barques. Vessels of less Grait of water, and without Passengers, can be ob- tained in plenty for this business. There is not # harbor in the world thet possesses | pilots of so much skill and experience as the regular pilots of New York possess. They have been so long in the bt sinese—so drilled in it—go competent for it—that n their charge, scarcely a veasel ever gets ashore; and if those interested in the wellare of this great city, in the safety of the thousands of lives that annually pass in and out of this port, desire a permanent good in this matter, they will ask Con- gress to have the pilotage of this harbor regulated given to those to whom it really and righifally es. Men who have spent their lives in eequir- ing the necessary skill to become pilots, deserve the of the commoanity, and it we are not Great. lyinistaken, they will receive it.

STATE OF TRADE. Lancasnine, Nov. 6 —At Bolton, the demand for cot- * ton yarns bas been limited during the last few da: prices of some sorts are a shade lo are moderately brisk, ginghams are in partic lar request. Bleachers have more work thin they had a mouth ago.

The best qualities of fine broad satin shawis, and ‘new descriptions of fancy work, are in particular request. The silk and cotton smallware business, in the same districts, is rather slack ; and ut some ‘sik mills hands have only four days’ work per week. Mancuvstex.—There was very little demand yes day, either for goods oryarn; aud, where any busin was doo ices were generally lower than on the pre- ceding Tuesday. ‘There is, however, so complete an absence of stock, that the spinners and manutacturors ge- nerally are by no means disposed to press rales; many, indeed, aro atill working to order, and consequently very well able to wait for the chance of betier prices. Our attention has been called to a statement ia the Leeds Mercury of Saiurday Inst, where, under the head of the Cotton rade, it is stated that the prices of yarn were, ou the preceding day, lower by 21 to 2hd per Ib, than on that day in the preceviug week. Altnough this state- ment iy too absurd to mislead any one in this town, or its immediate neighborhood, it may have some effect amongst the Yorkshire manufacturers who use coitor, yarn We thereiore think it right to state that th cline in prices during the period named did not ex rib, and that tne total decline from the h prices paid five or six weeks ago. does not on an average exceed three fartuings per lb.— Guard: Rocupate Fiamnyt Maaxet, Monday, Nov. 3—We have another dull market, but prices have undergono Little or no change.

The Manchester trade is in a sather unfavorable por tion; prices are much lower, and the demand ¢x- ceeding'y limited, so that few sales have latterly been effected. The King of the Belgians has been opening the Chambers ina speeeh which makes mention of a commercial treaty with the United States ; but the details of the treaty have notappeared. The state of the potato crop, and the strings which, it is feared, the Belgians will endure in consequence, are to be provided for, the King sugy’est#, by employ- ing the poor on publie works The accounts from Algeria show that che Fren are still busy making the most ample prepx rations for the subjugation of the inhabitan s. : A rumor from Russia, which has ebtained itile credit, states that Nicholas intends to ub ficate in favor of his auecessor, and that when he left St. Petersburgh for Ital, this had been resolved upor.
