AMERICAN BLOCKADE.—HALIFAX, Sept. 22.
The blockade runners the Lady Sterling and the Armstrong
cleared for Bermuda yesterday. The Little Hattie, which
sailed a few days since, returned to-day. Havannah, Sept.
17—The Denbigh arrived on the 16th from Galveston, and
the Susanna, on the 12th, live days from Houston. The
latter started with 32.5 bales of cotton, but reached this
port with only 73, having thrown the balance overboard to
facilitate her escspo from a Federal cruiser off Cape San
Antonio. The Federal steamer Honeysuckle reports the
capture of the Matagorda (formerly the Alice), with 600
bales of cotton, and the arrival of the priza at Key West.
The Matagorda was from Galveston for this port.
Besides the races that have recently taken place
at Ostend and at Brussels, those which have just
come off at Liege have been attracting great notice and
large assemblages of the people. Judging from the names
of the horses, it would be supposed that many of them were
of English blood, as among them are Well-done, Nancy
Bell, Piggy Wiggy,
jowly Zwiiy. Tam-Tam, Fairutock, Sinecure, and j
