Horses, Carriages, Stock, and Freight of every description, can be well accommodated. The proprietors believing that the interest of the farmer has been injured by three steam bosfls sailing on the same day, in consequence of which large quantities of Fresh Butter, Stock, etc. arrive in New-York at the same time, which frequently injures the market; and conceiving that the same objections do not exist against sailing on SATURDAY, with.a steamboat, making her passage in six hours, that have formerly existed against sloops, have concluded to take the above days, and hope from the well known character of the boat and their utmost endeavors to accommodate, to merit a share of the public patronage. The wharf will be improved by an additional store house early in the spring.

Opening of the Hudson. The long-looked for opening of the Hudson has arrived. The first vessel from Albany, with this cheering information, was the sloop General Trotter, Capt. M'Cay, which arrived at 4 o'clock yesterday morning, having left Albany the preceeding day. The steamboat Constitution also arrived yesterday morning from Albany, full of passengers, among whom we see many northern and western merchants, who have come in for their supply of goods. We may now expect to witness much life among men of business. - Gazette.

Our citizens will be gratified to learn that the Newburgh Whaling Company have purchased the fine ship, Portland, of about three hundred tons burthen, a fast sailer and little more than one year old, for fifteen thousand two hundred dollars.  She will be fitted out with all possible despatch by the company for her first voyage.  Previous to her departure it is said we shall have the pleasure of seeing this beautiful vessel at Newburgh, at which place her crew will be selected.  Many enterprising and worthy young men of our village and its vicinity have already made application to the company for employment, and it is understood places on board the Portland, as well as all other ships fitted out by the Newburgh Whaling Company, will be assigned to young men of Orange County and the neighborhood of Newburgh, so far as they may be found competent to fill them, in preference to any others.

NEW FREIGHTING ESTABLISHMENT: TUESDAY STAGE, SLOOP ECLIPSE. E. CASE, MASTER,
Will leave Newburgh every Tuesday and New-.. York every Saturday evenings, during the Season.
THE subscriber tenders his thanks for past favours in the above business, and flatters himself that his extensive acquaintance in the country, and in the city, together with the strictest attention to the interest and accommodation of those who may entrust their business to his care, will ensure to his present undertaking, a liberal portion of patronage.   The above sloop has a large and commodious cabin, having twenty-five Berths, which are fitted up with Beds and Bedding in the best order, for those who may wish to take passage in the good old way of plain sailing.

Satisfied that the interest of the Farmer is materially injured by the shortness of time allowed in market by the Steam-boats, making two trips per week, the subscriber does not commence business without [illeg.] that there are many Freighters in the country whom experience has taught to think with him, that the old mode of conveyance, which allows sufficient time in Market to dispose of the cargo to the best advantage, and is subject to no blow-ups nor break-downs, is the best mode, and who will be pleased with the present opportunity of returning to it again. He would also solicit a portion of the Freight and Trade of those merchants, of the Village who justly complain that their interests are injured by a monopoly of business on the part of the Steam Boat owners. They have now an opportunity of taking one step on a return to old usages.

Having made arrangements with Captain SETH BELKNAP, the STORE HOUSE will be under his superintendance, where Freighters can call, or send written orders, and receive returns at all times, in the absence of the Captain; New-burgh April 1832. ELISHA CASE.

N. B. The Store-House is in good order for the reception of Grain, which will be taken in free of storage when il is intended as freight for the Eclipse. Merchants wishing to keep Salt, Fish, Pork, Flour, or any other heavy articles, can have the privilege of storing the same there and having it delivered out in any quantity which they may direct, without charge for storage.

December 19, 1832 - Commercial Advertiser (New York, New York)
RIOT AND ASSAULT. Fifteen respectable individuals, principally Captains of North River sloops, were taken into custody the night before last, by Mr. Fisher, the captain of the first district watch, aided by a number of his watchmen, and handed over in the morning to the police magistrates for their disposal. They were taken about 11 o'clock at night, in the house of Mrs. Mary Bowen, who keep a notorious house of ill fame at 112 Leonard Street, near the Collect, whither they went, as is alleged, for the purpose of bestowing a coat of tar and feathers, upon the person of a Mr. William Haggerty, an inmate of the house and friend and companion of the lady.

The cause assigned for this premediated outrage upon the person of Mr. Haggerty, or as he is familiarly known, Captain Haggerty, is said to be, his conduct towards his wife, a virtuous and amiable woman, who he deserted i Albany, to become the paramour of Mrs. Mary Bowen, the old bawd in whose house he has constantly resided for the past month or six weeks.

It appears that Captain Haggerty, who was formerly the captain and owner of the sloop Ransom, plying between this city and Albany, contracted an intimacy with Mrs. Bowen about a year since, which was followed up in the course of the year by the sale of his sloop - an abandonment of his wife -- and finally his becoming a boarder in the house, whither he took about a month since, his three children, a boy and two girls. Indignant at his conduct, several sloop captains raised a fund, with which an application was made to the Vice Chancellor on behalf of the wife for the custody of the children. About a week since, on the day appointed for the hearing of the case, Haggerty attended with his counsel, but the counsel employed for the wife not being in court, the Vice Chancellor on the exparte application of Haggerty, decreed the custody of the children to him, with an understanding that for the future they would be sent to Troy, where they were to be boarded and educated. The Vice Chancellor's room, together with the avenues of the Hall, were thronged by many who seemed to take a deep interest in the question, and expressed great sympathy for the wife, around whom the children clung,  with cries for protection, which the distracted mother was unable to afford them, and which only tended to increase the public indignation against the unnatural father, who had caused their separation. Determined to avenge the injury done the wife, the individuals arrested, aided by from twenty to thirty others, made an arrangement, as is said, to take the person of Haggerty, and inflict upon him a coat of tar and feathers. Monday night was the time appointed for the purpose, and with a bucket of tar they proceeded to the house of Mrs. Bowen, where Capt. Fisher, with a posse of watchmen was stationed inside to receive them, with Captain Haggerty, armed with an axe on the landing of the stairs, for as it now turns out, the purpose of their visit and the time they were to make it, was communicated to Mrs. Bowen in sufficient season for her to obtain the aid of the watch. On knocking at the door it was opened by Mrs. Bowen, when the persons arrested rushed in, but had scarcely made their way into the room before they were met by the watchmen, who knocked several of them down with their clubs, and secured the whole. The complaint of Mrs. Bowen was taken by the magistrates, as was also that of Capt. Fisher, who alleged that he was struck by one of the number, and they were severally directed to find surety in the sum of five hundred dollars for their appearance at the next Court of Sessions, to answer the complaints. In the course of the forenoon they all produced the necessary surety, and on payment of the office and prison fees, amounting to three dollars, twelve and a half cents for each individual, they were discharged. Several of them were badly hurt in the affray, and one in particular received a very bad, if not dangerous wound on the head, but whether it was caused by a blow or a fall is not distinctly known - Courier
