The New YORK PnoTs.-We have obtained
the following note, addressed to Mr. Turnure, by
Captain Wood, of the packet ship Columbus. 1t
speaks for itself


SANDY HOOK, March 18th, ls46.
" Mr.. VIM TuRNuRE, Pilot Ship Columbus.
SIN As we yesterday grounded on the southern
edge Of the Spit, freely express myself being per-
f:ctiy satisfied with your ability and attention in con-
Beng at the wheel myself, and closely observing
your timely caution and exertIon to prevent the ship
from taking the ground, do believe could have
prevented THIS occurrence.


" lam respectfully yours,


"ALrREp A. Woop,


Master Ship Columbus
II is as well to mention, however, for the sake
OF truth-an article rather scarce in parts Of Wall
sheet-that the Columbus was the first ship in
charge of Mr.. Turnure that has touched mud, sand,
or any other hard or soft substance, excepting
water, in twenty years.


And in order to set the public Alright in the state
ments made on Wednesday in the Courier, we will
merely mention that the ship Angelique was never
in charge Of Mr.. A. Upson.


To make all clear, too, in the midst of the fresh.
cts in all parts Of the country, will any of the Jer-
scy pilots inform us whether or not the Fidel,a
touched once, twice, or not at all, IN going down
the harbor on the 18th inst Also, whether she was
taken safely to sea on that day, as stated in the
Courier We ask these simple questions for the
sake of truth


We believe that both the Columbus and Fidea
went to sea on the morning Of the 18th inst


"By their fruits let them be known"
In addition to the above, we have another false
hood to nail to the counter. The Courier blames
New York pilot for stranding the ship Memphis
Here is the contradiction


I" NEw YoRx, March 20, ls4s
To THE PiLor SHp MrMpHu:
DEAR Sra I'll have, with regret seen an unjust
charge made against you for grounding my ship, in
bringing her from sea, and state in justice to you
az pilot that the touching of my vessel entirely
owing to the man stationed in the chains with the lead
who gave faIse sonadinSs. Yours, &c,


d. NJ. BurxEs, Master Of Ship Memphis y
