had been stranded on the Spit by one Of the under
writer's pilots. An attempt at denial is ohere,
in the organ Of the Insurers' monopoly, in which
is stated, on the 5th instant, thar we said she wal
ashore on the "East End of Romer Shosl." w,
said no fuch thing; but We did say, and now repeat
that she was run ashore on the Spit, by the under
writers pilot. We now add, for the information o.
the Vice President of the insurance company, wh.
writes the piotage articles for the organ, that the
pilots name was Calaghan, not Calanan the regu
lar New York pilot, who would, as we have shown,
two months since, have stranded the packet ship
Auburn, but for the warning of a New York regular
pilot.


The Europe sailed from New York with a fair
wind and tide. She drew, il is true, LIZ feet. The
organ statesl that to "avod the necessity of tack
ing, under a north Ewest wind" the underwriters
pilot endeavored to save time" This, to every
man who knows chart from primer, as to our
harbor, is 30 ludicrous as to need no comment
But there are many passengers whose lives are va

fair wind, through the Swssh Channel, and four

heavy, and she was much strained, as we are in
formed, by those who boarded her. After getting
of, she came to anchor, and remained all night
with fine, fresh, fair wlnd and in the morning
she proceeded to sea, but Captain Furber, who,
when exercising his own judgment, is one of our
most prudent and skilful men, deemed it proper to
return, and he discharged the underwriters' pilot.
and took regular one from the New York pilot
boat Washington, who safely anchored her in the
bay, and subsequently took her safely to sea-thus
earning double piotage.


The public at large will see how proper and
just it is that gentlemanly, skilfu and intrepid
New York regular pilots, should be sustained. 1t
was only the other day, in addition to the above,
that the barque Chancellor, Captain Beauvose, in
ward bound, the weather being little hazy, was
stranded by another OF these insurers pilots The
Captain whilst she was hard and fast ashore, asked
the pilot where she was ashore, and was told by
the pilot that he did not know. Captain B. had to
take charge, after the pilot had lost the best bower
anchor, and he, the captain, brought her to town.
The Chancellor will 60 the dock "for the benefit
Of the underwriters"


The time is fast approaching when it will become
matter Of necessity for every passenger, going or
coming, to enquire who and what sort Of pilot
there may be on board the ship in which he happens
to take passage, for lives are valuable in these days
of anticipated war; Congress will find this SUBJ
ject for immediate action.


Buenos Ayres-European Intervention In


South America.


We published e1clusveiy, in our paper OF FRI
day, the highly important intelligence, that the
French and English had carried their Intervention
between the Argentine and Montevidean Republics
to a crisis, and that their combined fleets are &C.
tually blockadng the Buenos Ayres, and all other,
ports belonging to the Argentine Confederation
This is practically carrying out the principle of the
balance of power, by M. Gulzot, in the French
Chamber Of Deputies, some time since, and which
has been triumph antly met and spurned by Mr.
Polk, in his late extraordinary and important mes.

A brief historical review of the proceedings be-
