Such, them is the present position OF affairs, and
such the obvious tendency OF events. The Comtsr's

THE STocK-J JoBBlNG ORGAN IN WALL STREET.-
There is SINGULAR nondescript animal, which in
habits portion of the deserts of Arabia, about the
centre Of that sandy waste, which possesses curl
Gus character, not mentioned in Buttons Natural
History, but which is described at large in chap
ter OF the Talmud, OF the edition of 795, written by
monk in Upper Egypt. during the Caliphat OF the
celebrated Mirzah This animal is something be-
o,,lo I,ttta boT
the bull dog about the head. 1t has a prodigious
head-but not much in lt-a great quantity OF hair
round about it, and very extensive extremites.-
When there is no danger, and no apprehenslop.o of
danger, the animal becomes very erect, andlooks as
if il would swallow all the monkeys in that region,
and eat up every animal that runs over the desert.
But when any real piece of courage peeps over the
next hill with gun, the animal has instinct enough
TO rush TO the first bush and bury Its head amongst
the brambles and roots, leaving all its extremties
exposed Just in the manner that the ostrich is accus-
toned 10 do, when very hard pursued so that the
traveller has nothing to do but put his ball through
the extremities of this ANIMAL and then bag him.


This is the way that we mean to do with our
highly respectable contemporary Of the Courier and
Enquirer, the leading ock-jobbng journal of the
universe who has more ignorance, and less sense,
and larger amount Of absurdity mixed with his ra-
tional faculties, than any other genius connected
with the newspaper press.


In the Courier Of Saturday last II very grave
4 ly asserted that Camman Il Whitehouse, brokers'
Of this city, had made heavy transaction in the
stock market, and that they did SO under the direc-
ton OF Corcoran u Riggs, bankers, of Washing
ton. We referred, in appropriate terms, to this
statement, and quoted it IN our paper of Monday
Well, out comes the Courier, yesterday, retracts the
statement-acknowledge that it had told false
hood in relation to Corcoran & Riggs and yet after
thus showing its whole extremties, and buryng its
head in the sand, il has the GOODNESS and absurdlty
to turn round and say that the Herald published
falsehood Did ever any one hear OF such a
laundering blockhead! We made no statement
whatever on the subject We simply quoted the
statement of the Courier, for the purpose Of cen
demning it-a statement which the Courier itself
acknowledges to be false, and yet, only think of it,
the sapent animal has the erontery to accuse us Of
publishing falsehood Perhaps there never was
another instance Illustrative Of more folly, absurdity
and impudence combined, than that now furnished
by the Courier in this matter But all this is quite


IN keeping with the character of the great stockob-
bing organ. The whole thing arises from the con-
fusion OF his ideas, and Stiffness, which reminds
us of the quarrels of schooboys. One says to ano-
ther, Your cap is the right side of your head -
"No, you lie," shouts the other. "You lie,' is
quickly retorted-"you lie''-" you e"-and thus
it is kept up, just is the case with our highly re-
spectacle contemporary Of the leading stock jobbing
journal of the universe. In fact, if he would live
TO the age Of Methuselah, he would still be school
boy, with all his ignorance, prejudice, presumption
and greenness.
