Hook, and remained there until rive A Sr. on Sunday,
when she proceeded on her voyage to Europe, sad
shortly afterwards fell in with her consort, the Arctic
Irliich was then on her way to New York. ,
On the let of June, at 5,30 P.m., the Atlantic passed
the Royal Mail steam-ship Asia, also bound for New
York, in let .41 30, long. 64 56.
The Atlantic brings 150 passengers, 520,000 dolls. in
specie, and the usual mails.
Among the passengers are Madame Goldsernidt
(Jenny Lind) with he: husband and suite, who were en-
thusiastically cheered on landing; they proceeded at
once to the Adelphi Hotel. During the greater part of
the passage Madame Goldsehmidt vas confined to her
bate by severe indisposition. There were also two
Protestant bishops (Delaney anon ereskey), Charles
Gould, Eig., and Grace Greenwood, among the passen-
gers; being, says the New York Times, more notables
than have been congregate..d on, any steam-ship that has
left New York for the, last twelve months.

The grant of 33,000 dolls. for each voyage has been
passed by the Senate in favour of the Collins' line of
steamers. The majority was 27 to 19.
Dispatches from the west announce the destruction of
two or three more steamers by fit: e; together with a large
amount of very valuable freight. Since the Ist et Ja-
nuary over twenty steam-boats on the western rivers
have been entirely destroyed by fires, explosions, sink-
ing, &c., and the whole number of lives lost by these
casualties is estimated at over 250.

Affairs in Buenos Ayres appear to be in a very quiet
and satisfactory state. Nine days later news from that
quarter was received on Thursday, which indicates that
thus far the order of things was rapidly developing the
resources of the Plate provinces.
Dr. Perkins's extensive sugar-house at Baton Rouge,
Virginia, was entirely consumed by fire on the night o;
the 18th of May. Loss about 200,000 dolls., and in-
sured for 70,000 dolls.
Destructive fires have been raging in the woods in
Maine, on the line of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence
Railroad, for some time. On one day it was impossible
for the cars to rue between Greene and Lewiston, and
passengers were taken a long circuit itfcarriag,es around
the fire. At litechanic,Falls the running of trains was
also impeded. Several thousand cords of railroad wood
have been consumed, and much damuge done to the
woodwork of the track.
The steamer Southerner, off Turtle Island, passed
the small tow-steamer Telegraph, on fire. She ran as
near as possible, but could discover no human being,
and concluded that the crew, numbering eight men,
must have perished.
Mr. Hiram Perry and daughter, of Monson, were
killed at Collins' depot, near Springfield, Mass., on the
27th, by being run over by the 6 rem express train.
The New York papers contain a full account of the
escape from Van Diemen's Land, and the arrival in
New York, of Thomas Francis Meagher (pronounced
Maher), the Irish exile end orator, who was transported
for the' part he took in the Irish revolutionary movement
with William Smith O'Brien, John Mitchel, and others.
He arrived in the brig Acorn, from Pernambuco, having
escaped from Van Diemen's L;nd in an American
whaler. He kept himself perfectly incog. until Thurs-
day, except to one or two friends.
The Courier and Inquirer gives the following account
of his escape from Van Diemen's Land:—
" For some time previous to February last arrange-
ments were in progress, which, if successful, the cxilt s,
nine in number, were to be taken from Van Diemen's
Land and brought to our shores. In January the er-
rangements were completed, when it was found
that in consequence of their residing so far
apart (some ten miles) it would be impractica-
ble to get them all off at one time, and their friends
though reluctantly, were obliged to confine their opera-
tions to effecting the release of Mr. Meagher, as his
position gave the surest prospect of success. Everything
being .in readiness, early in February Mr. Meagher sent
his parol of honour' to the magistrate, with the pro-
mise that he would consider himself bound by it for two
hours after its delivery, and no longer. On receiving it
the magistrate gave immediate orders to the constable in
Bothwell (where Mr. Meagher resided) to arrest him
without delay. - This the constable refused to do, stating
that he was himself an Irishman, and 'would do nothing,
to hinder Meagher's escape. This placed the magistrate
in a position somewhat unpleasant, as there was not
another officer within twenty-four miles. He, how-
ever, mounted horse, and proceeded to the nearest point
for the purpose of 'bringing back an officer to take
charge of Mr. Meagher, waited for his return until
the time promised had expired, after which he
took horse and proceeded in an oppoSite direction, in
which toured he is said to have travelled as fast as his
horse could carry him, for over one hundred miles, or to
the point where his friends hal another conveyance in
waiting. After reaching Pernambuco, he is said to have
been taken on board the brig Acorn, on the 23d of
April, and by her brought to this port?'
In the Senate, on the 28th ult., it was carried, after
various amendments proposed and rejected, by a ma-
jority of 27 to 19, that the present allowance to the
Collins' line of steamers be increased to 33,000 dollars
per trip, with the proviso that it shall be in the power
of Congress at any time after the 31st December, 1854,
to terminate the arrangement for any "additional allow-
ance herein provided for, upon giving six monthenotice.

As I anticipated, Vaultress cut her antagonists down
for the Fernhill Stakes in the first hundred yard; and
won as she pleased by a dozen lengths or more.
The rac© for the Coronation Stakes was as close as
that for the Triennial; Butler, on the Exotic filly, only
winning by one of his splendid rashes in the last stride
by a head, Hirsute beating Caloric by the same distance
for second place. My last remarks on this stake were
thus verified.

give the list of starters for the other three races.

I anticipate will lay entirely between BUSHRANGER and

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

ASCOT-HE ATfi R ACES.-WEDNE SDA Y.

Although there was a prospect of short fields or walks
over for three out of the seven events enumerated in the
card, there was interest enough in the two, the Royal
Hunt Cup and Triennial, to make a very attractive
day's sport. Unfortunately, however, the weather was
wretched, the rain falling heavily and without intermis-
sion from daybreak, flooding the roads in many parts in
the immediate neighbourhood of the course, and making
the course itself a swamp.
It is scarcely necessary to add that the gathering was
almost entirely confined to parties located in the vicinity
and the professional speculators; the exceptions were
the Duke of Montrose, the Marchioness of Aylesbury,
Lady Chesterfield, Lady Rachel Russell, the Ladies
Somerset, and one or two others, whose names we could
not ascertain.

The sporting " influentials" present were the Duke of
Montrose, Marquises of Exeter, Drogheda, Worcester,
Waterford, and Normanby ; Earls of Chesterfield, Wil-
ton, Bruce, Rosslyn, Jersey, Uxbridge, Easton' Gran-
ville, and Zstland; Lords Enfield, Ribblesdale, Villiers,
G. Manners, Newport, Clifden, Somerton, Canterbury,
Seabam, Henry Gordon Lennox, Maidstone, W..Powlett,
and Dunkellin •' Baron Vigier, Count Batthyany; Sirs
G. Armytage, T. Burke, and G. H. Boswell; Honoura-
bles General Anson, L. •A. Ellis, J. Macdonald, H.
Pitt; Captains Roue, Fred. Villiers, Francis Villiers;
General Ritter, Colonel Peel, Colonel Newton; Messrs.
R. E. 011iver, R. H. Nevill, J. M. Stanley, S. Stanley,
Greville, Payne, G. Fitzroy, and a few others. The
racing commenced half an hour later than on the first
day, and time having been well kept, concluded a few
minutes after five o'clock. The following are parti-
culars:—

The Coronation Stakes of 100 sous. each, h ft, for three
yrs old fillies, Sst 71b each; the winner of the Oaks

loric made all the running until half way up the Stand
railing, where the lot closed; a severe finishing race en-
sued, the Exotic filly winning by a head, and Ilirsnta
beating the favourite by a short head. The race was
not timed.

The Albany Stakes of 50 sm. each, h ft, for three yrs
old colts, Bst 71b; fillies, Bst 31b, the winner of the
2,000 Guineas, Derby, or Oaks, to have curled 51b

heading a ruck of at least a dozen, including the Heriot,
Hernandez, Ephesus, Little Savage, and Catalpa, made
play at a good pace, for the state of the ground, to the
road, where the leader and The Heriot were beaten.
Sanita immediately after showed in front, but at the dis-
tance gave precedence to Ephesus, who cleared his
horses a few strides from the chair, and won easily by
two lengths, Little Savage beating Pan by a length.
Sanita, Hothorpe, and Hernandez, were the next three.
Little Fawn jumped the rails before starting, and Janina
turned round at starting, and lost a good deal of ground.
