The Expested Steamer. ‘The public are on the gui vive for the news by | the steamer. All important business affairs seem to be at an end, awaiting her arrival. The steamer is in her seventeenth day, and her news may be hourly expected. Probable Revolution In State Politics. ‘There ig a sweeping and radical revolution gene- rating in the polities of this State. The movements, the debates, the feelings of the legislators at Albany, indicate a coming storm—an entire change in po- litical parties. By a strange freak of the elements, there will be a great but acerdental combination of all the diseor- dant elements, against the present party in power— and next fall the democratic party will be as com- | pletely defeated as they were in 1837. This combi- nation will be composed of the whigs, natives, abo- litionists, and all other new cliques representing new ideas. The debates and motions in the present Legislature, are only preparatory to the great out- break that will take place in the State Convention, which will be elected next April, meet in June- and complete their revolution before fall. The anti- renters and the abolitionists, the first numbering 20,000 votes, the latter about 15,000, hold the bal.nce of power in this State, and will drive both the old parties, whig and demoerat, into their ideas to a great extent. So, prepare for a revolution in the po- lines of New York. The Last Foreign Sews—The New York Plilotse—Agony of the Wall Street Press The Courier and Enquirer and Jowrnal of Com- | merce, came out yesterday with some columns of | abuse, levelled atthe pilots, because the Herald was successful in receiving and publishing the last | importaat news jrom England, in advance of all the | Wall street press. Both papers attempted to fortify themselves for the attack with letters from Postmaster Morris, Mr. Philips, the agent of the ship, by which the news arrived, and from some person named Hillard. 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. {n this, however, they are mistaken; for we come out as usual this morning, and, by information received through themagneuc telegraph, we learn that a few ot the pilots are still left, and may be seen, with the aid of a glass, cruising, as usual, from fifty to two hun dréd 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 zealous 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 on that after- noon. This fact can be substantiated by affidavit at any time; but it is hardly worth the while to take that tronble; and it will take more than a letter from Post- master Morris, or any one else, to overtura it. If the agent of the ship did not receive the letter bag, it was because he did not send for it. It he did not know where to send for it, it 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 isin anutshell. Everything was fair and above- board. These journals, however, must be more consistent in their statements, if they expect them to have any influence. The Journal of Commerce | states that it 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 8 from the Post-office, and Mr. Morris alleges they were not delivered until 10, it must offcourse fol- low that Mr. Morris knows nothing at all of the matter. _ If 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. truth is, the papers were 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-office on the same Sunday, and although we repeatedly sent to the Post-office, 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 same way that he did regarding the papers of the Journal and Courter, namely, to the effect that he knew nothing about them. In regard to the abuse poured out by the Courier on the pilots, that 1s nothing. They have been ac- customed to such for years past, from Wall street presses and’a few interested individuals. And the best evidence of the falsity of the charges brought against these enterprising men, we trke from the article in that paper. It says that in repeated instances, fureign 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 to get them; and yet these chaps state that the pilots remain close to the Hook, and are un- fit for the business! {t likewise says that the ar- rangements made by the Courter have usually ren- dered the enterprise of the pilots to give the public the news through the Herald, futile. Whether the Cowrver arrangements for getting foreign news are superior to ours, the files of both papers, for some years past, will decide. If the old pilots have been so inefficient as the Courier would fain make the public believe, why is the Courier so anxious to have them in their em- ploy? Notwithstanding that that journal had entered into a contract with the rest of the Wall street press to getall sorts of ship news as soon as possible, it broke faith with its contemporaries, and endeavored to enter into a bargain with the old pilots, whom it now abuses, and always has abused, to receive the news and publish it ahead of its associates. For | that purpose tt issued the following state paper :— 1 will 16 pee Sid ie: aah nf intelligence ftom Wagiesd fu and every day's later boys, exclusively for the Courier and with unders . however, that may furnish news tothe Herald, aud no 6 ined <3 and no other . For TAMES w. Wass, Janvany oth, 1846, estine® feena-~7 It is unnecessary to say that the old pilots declined entering into any arrangement of this kind with the Courier; but that paper substantiates one fact, name- ly, that, although they entered into the agreement with its contemporaries in Wall street, it was still in hopes, by employing the old pilots, to outstrip the other papers in getting the first news trom Europe. And they were pressingly desirous, at the rate of fifteen dollars a day, to be paid in United States bank post notes, to join us in the undertaking.— This falsifies every statement made by that amiable and consistent paper ; and after it discovered that the pilots woulé not be humbugged, that concern on its own account, employed the Jersey pilots, who have been, and are still, cruising off the Hook for news. With their Jersey pilot boat on hand all the time, we received the news, without their knowing it, and sent it off by the mails, while their Jersey clipper was lazily hanging around the Hook or some where else. As regards the Journal of Commerce, we are much afraid that the pious David Hale ig backsliding. The lachrymose manner in which David bewails the loss of the news, shows how keenly sensitive he was to have it as soon as possible. But dees : | probably was to get some twenty or twenty-five dol” The | and (urnished by the old pilots or | David recollect that the news arrived on the bath? That it arrived, probably, at the very time when he wes in church, for the use of which he | lars? Could he expect that the pilots would wake him from his pious meditations, with the newe, from Europe? No; the pilots had too much reve- Fence for his holy character to do that. Indeed, we did not issue our Extra until after churchhours, merely out of consideration for our pious contem- | porary. What would have been the effect on the | | nervesof pious David, if, in the midst of his prayers, he had been roused by the fery of “ Batra Herald ! resignation of the Peel ministry !” | Now the caue of all the abuse heaped upon the Herald and the pilots, has been the superior enterprise | of both. The pilots of New York are an enterpris- | ing race of men, and the Herald is an enterprising | journal,as the Wall street press have reason toknow; | and as a proof of this, we refer to several extracts on | the outside ofthis day’spaper. There is, consequent- ly, a bond of sympathy between them, very disagree- | able, we must say, to the lazy press of Wall street, and the effect of this sympathy is that the public, whene- Ver news is expected of any consequence, invariably look to the Herald to receive it first. In thie they are not disappointed. All foreign news is despatch- ed by us full twenty-four hours ahead of all other papers. The consequence is that the public appre- ciate our efforts to please them, and have given us their patronage most liberally ; and our circulation | has reached a pointeven beyond our most sanguine | anticipations. It will therefore be seen, bya dis- criminating public, how much weight ought to be attached to the charges of the Wall street journals. We have beaten them hundreds and hundreds of times, and we mean to increase the number of heats as rapidly as we can. The New York pilots board more,vessels, and at a greater diétance at sea, than any other class of pilots; and they mean to increase their infamy in this way, as we do inours. Andthe probability 18, that neither the Herald nor the pilots will cease to be abused till they cease to exist—and when will that be ? MEpIcaL QUACKERY AND SINGULAR, DiSCREPANCY. —The organ of quackery, who has got the puffing | of the Brocchieri, Water, in giving a report of its as- tonishing powers places Dr. Detmold and Dr. Wash- ington in opposition to Dr. Mett. The first of these gentlemen, we know to be a surgeon of distinguish- ed eminence and skill, and his opinion, therefore, is entitled to much consideration. Dr. Washington, also, though less distinguished, stands high, we be- lieve, in the profession; but it happens, unfortu- nately for his statement, that we published in our paper his cwn letter, denying completely all that he 1s represented to have said in favor of this, water. | On the day the Doctor's laudatory account appeare, j inan Engheh version in the Journal of Commerce, | appears also in the New York Herald of the same day, a letter from the same doctor to Dr. Mott, in which he says that a little spurred rye orerget, infus- ed in cold water,makes a styptic water “fully equal, if not superior, to the Eau Brocchiere.” (Vide New York Herald of Tuesday last.) Here arises a ques- tion of veracity of a singular character, for it is be- | tween Dr. Washington in the Courier and Journal of Commerce, and Dr. Washington in the New York Herald. Which of the two Dr. Washingtons is to be believed, we cannot tell; but we are more inclin- ed to believe him in the Herald, tor he speaks for himself; whereas in the two papers referred to, they speak for him ‘who are not over-delicate as to truth and veracity, and sometimes indulge in backbiting and mendacity. In the account published by the | two organs of quackery, (the French one, and him of Wall street,) it 1s said that “the virtues of this | water have been fully ascertained by previous ex- | periments, by Drs. Washington and Detmold,” and | which words are italicised. ‘Thus they both affirm | that the information comes from the doctor, while | the doctor in the Herald distinctly intimates that | this water is “ inferior.to ordinary styptics.” But after all, even if it were true that such a wa- | ter existed, which would arrest bleeding, as it | is pretended this quack water can do, what, even then, would it all amount to? Of what benefit | would it be? None, whatever! There is nothing | therapuetic in stopping bleeding—pressure by the finger and thumb will do it;'a piece of court plaister, in common cases, is sufficient for every common solution of continuity; and where there is something more than a solution of continui- ty, the water would be comparatively useless, for then something more than mechanical application —something more than a mere styptic, would be re- quired. It is, we fear, a poor speculation; for as the mere effusion of blood is of seldom occurrence, as a disease, such a water is not likely often to be wanted. But if it should be the means of opening the eyes of the community to the efforts and arts of | those who seek to cheat, gull, and plunder the pub. lic, the speculation will not be without its profit. — | By the.by, the idea occurs to us, that this water might be turned to some account—for example, its name might be changed; it might be called “The anti-cut-throat” or ‘“anti-murder water,” and a few hogsheads might be put at the disposition of the Society forthe abolition of hanging murderers, and in their great benevolence and zeal to save the‘lives of murderers, they might do it indirectly by stopping the bleeding throats which have been cut, by help of this water. Now, as Mr. Brocchieri and his agents come from places were throat-cutting and street-stabbing is more common than with us, we advise them all— the editor of the French paper, and the French doctor, Borroborano, together, to start off, righ; away, for Naples or Bologne, or Leghorn, and stop all the blood flowing there from stabs, cuts and stiletto wounds; and when they have saved a few hundred villains from the gallows, by curing the cuts they have given to their neighbours’ throats, perhaps the fraternity may erect statues to them (for it is very rich, and spends money freely). Then, after this, if they come to the United States, they may stand a better chance, and the society mentioned may take them under its patronage. Or, perhaps, some religious sect will take them by the hand, and get up a “‘Cure-Murder Society;” and | then what converts will be made, on the idea of the innocence and virtue spread over the land by intended murderers being made “not murderers,” by means of this moral water. And as itis a water concern, John B. Gough and the temperance socie- tres might lend a hand, and secure at last to these gentlemen (as they do to themselves, occasionally) ‘Whe infamy of the New York Herald, [From the Washington Union, Jan. 16} By the noon, we received extras of the New York Herald coutsining Inter news from Barope.by 6 lowa.

It is time to make a movement against the igno- ranee of those quacks who have humbugged, de. ceived, and cheated the people, in the most daring and astonishing manner, for the last twenty years. The number of these base creatures—the makers of nostrume—is, indeed, astonishing. Many of them are without reputation—many of them even are from State prisons, or from the penitentiaries of foreign countries.

The pa. “? terested in this mstier, are Jacob Little & Co., the .'**6® private banking house, as theshorts, and 8. Jeudon Co. as the receivers. The first named perty are well known as extensive operators inthe stock market, and | the last named party are well known by their conneo | tion with the old United States Bank. Mr. Jaudon was | for many years cashier of thet bank, under the sdminis- trotion of Nicholas Biddle, and the concern in which he is the senior partner, has been for a leng time opposed to that of Jacob Little & Co. The opposition and competi- tion between these two houses, have for along time been very great, but within the past few months, an ex- terminating war has been carried on between them. ‘This spirit has manifested itself particularly upon this Erie Railroad affair, and so faras the decision of the Board of Brokers goes, in this Jaudon & Co. have come off vietorious. ‘This decision does not affect the whole question. The case in point, upon which the decision was made, was one between Messrs. Rawdon & Grosbeck and J. L. Win. throp, and only involves about six hundred (600) dol- lars. There isa large amount still at issue, and the matter will come up again before the Board. Before the question comes up again, there will without doubt be me changes made at the Board. Although there are many on both sides interested in the result of this ex- citing business, the leaiers.at the Board are the repre- sentatives of the houses above named, and the most bit ter feelings are given vent toin the debate that takes place upon any point reised. On Saturday, the opinions of two of our n-ost distin. guished lawyers—George Wood and Prescott Hall, Esqrs.—were} put into circulation, upon the question at issue, calculated to influence the acts of the members of the Board, and it is supposed that any quantity of legal opinions can be obtained favorable to both sjdes, very cheap. The vote taken yesterday, shows that the two parties are pretty equally divided, and it is anticipated that at the next trial the decision will be different from the former one. We would suggest the policy of taking the next vote by ballot, as that method of voting will give the sense of the Bosrd, more correctly than any other. There are wordy wars and rumors of war in Wall street, as. well as at Washington, end we feat the two parties at the Brokers’ Board,will come tosome thing more than words, before the two countries become involved in hostilities. An isternel more then an exter” nal war is to be apprehended now, and a mediator ia very much wanted to reconcile difficulties. Where is the Union Club?

The only way to silence the complaints from both companies, is to unite them at once. The financial statement of the Western Company, is certainly as fa- vorable as any\the Worcester Company can present. The terms proposed for a union are as fairas eould possibly be expected, This city is deeply interested in an amel. gamation of these two railroad companies, aswe shall tanke a connection with the Western ina short time, by the extension of the Harlem. The numerous Imersl railroads from the Western, in contemplation and in the course of construction, must increase its business very much. <A vast deal of travel must pass over the Wes" tern road, between the principal points, and diverge be" ore it reaches the Worcester. In this way the business of the Western must increase faster then that of the Worcester, and the advantages of an amalgamation must become, therefore, much reduced. The Wes torn Railroad Company certainly cannot look forward t» the business of their road, without coming to the con- clusion that their line must soon become more produc tive than the Worcester. The business of the Worces- ter road has nearly reached its maximum. The comple- tion of the Nashua and Worcester, of the Worcesterand Providence at the east, and the New York, Harlem and Albany at the west end, and the Hartford and Denbery road in the middle, must draw business from the Wor- cester and Boston line and send it to this city. The citi- zens of Boston are more interested in the attraction of business to their city than in the productivdness of their railroads. It has been stated that the railroads di verging from Boston were not built for profit; that they did not anticipate dividends upon the immense outlay required; notwithstanding which we find the Worcester Railroad Company at issue with the Western Company and opposed to an amalgamation of the two corporations, merely on account of the trifling difference that at pre- sent exists in the productiveness of the two lines. This diflerence in favor of the Worcester road is but tempo- rery, end a refusal to amalgamate with the Western, would be more fatal to the interest of the latter, if it was likely to continue an isolated line. It is fer from being in that posi tion, and a refusal on the part of the Worcester Compa ny to unite, will only urge forward the Western compa- ny to extend lateral lines in all directions, and to afford every facility to lines in the course of construction, for a connection. It has been proposed in the Western Board of Directors to apply to the legislature of Masse- chusetts for a charter to build a new road from Worces- ter to Boston; but that cannot be granted upon any fee- sible route, asthe charter of the Worcester Company gives it right of way five miles in direction along ite whole length. This shuts off all attempts of this na~ ture, and the questions at issue between the two compa — nies must be settled in one way or the other, upon their own merits.
