tremendous gales every remembered by the oldest
mariner on board. She now lies here with loss OF
mass W toto; rudder away from the pintles
and split; anchors, one broke off by the stock and
the other lost the fluke-joy boat off the quar-
ter with the rigging, and on the whole the ship is
now in as depIorable situation as can well be
imagined.
90 In consequence of the heavy sea, the ship
struck the ground with great force, rendering it
probable that she would beat TO pieces. We had
consequently to Tighten her by throwing over, I
think the most valuable part of her cargo.

lyingby us, and with her assistance we have just
despatched our long boat TO another brig about o
miles distant, which now bearing down on Us
The Nj. A. is bound TO Havana, and some OF our
Passengers will probably go in her.

g The great Match Race between Ariel and
fllrtilla, took place yesterday, the Union
Course OH Long Island. The interest produced ov
the celebrity of the horses and the immense wagers
laid, attracted to New York persons from some OF
The rernote>t sections of The country. fhere was
in reference the horses, geogra piical division
so to speak, of sentiment. Both parties were
equally sanguine, but few hours before the horses
came To the post, the hackers of Fliriiila were OBJ

odds. This they did most freely and generously -
Al o'clock the horses went away hand>omev-
flhtilla taking the lead under an easy stride. When
abouta mile from home, The Virginia mare went to
work earnestly aud honestly, and brought Ariel TO
the spur, which she bore kindly and with true game
and won The first heat by neck and a halt The
result OF this heat 60 struck much 10 the sous''
OF tine southern sportsmen but when they discover
Ell how severely Ariel had been pressed, they took
heart and were willing TO be- one to two Alter
the usual breathing time the noble animals again
came up TO the score, and started al burst as the
Jockeys phrase is; Flir,ila taking the track at
dangerous pace In the third mile of this heat Ariel
was brought TO the whip, and Flrtilla Showed
decided superiority in strengh--she maintained
her stride, and came TO the distance stand hard in
hand, when she was too suddenly pulled up, and
was, By little careessless, we'll nigh losing the
heat, which was only won by a neck. 1t is ad-
United on all hands that this heat could have been
won by three or four lengths Now the aspect OF
things was, in some degree, changed, aud long odds
were offered upon Flirtilla, but few wagers of any
| consequence were laid. On going away for the
third heat, Ariel seemed much worsied--Flirtilla
was comparatively fresh. and sgsin took the track
10 which she had become entitled bya sort of pre-
scripiion, and Won the third, and, of course, the
last heat, with great ease, by some 20 o. 80 Yards

disgrace that period Of the revolution.
Many stories are told of his delight in
Witnessing suffering and blood-shed.
The subjects which he has chosen as
a painter, bear some relation to his &c ::
neral character. The assassination OF
Lepelletin, who is stretched on his
coach, writhing in his last agonies; the
death of Marat, from whose wound the
blood is gushing, with freshness and
strength which even the Parisians in
1894 pronounced to be horrible; the
death of Socrates; and other pictures OF
the like character,prove with what cool
ness and accuracy he had contemplated,
the scenes of blood which surrounded
him. In the revolutions of the French
government, he has frequently owed
his safety to his reputation as an artist.
He was afavourite of Bonaparte,w whose
picture he has frequently drawn; but
since the restoration of the Bourbons
he has lived in exile and disgrace.

SIMON BOLIVAR.


This celebrated defender Of South
American independence, was born at
Caracas, in l7s5, and is Of \ noble and
extremely rich family, He was sent at
an early period to Spain, to be educa-
ted, and when he had completed his
studies, he went to Paris, where he
was much noticed for his talents and
learning, in all the best societies OF the
capital. At Paris he was constant
attendant on all the public lectures.
He contracted an intimacy with Hum
boldt and Boupland, and travelled with
them for some time, and successfully
visited England, Italy, Switzerland, and
large part of Germany, to make him.
self acquainted with their customs and
the character Of man. Returning to
Venezuela, he was appointed colonel
in the service Of the newly established
republic, and was sent to London on
an important mission, the expense OF
which he himself betrayed. When
Bolivar came back, Miranda gave him
the command at Puerto Cabello, but
the Spanish prisoners having risen and
seized the fort, Bolivar was Obliged to
evacuate the town, and proceed by sea
to Caracas. :,
After Miranda had capitulated with
Monteverde, and resistance seemed to
be at an end in Venezuela, Bolivar re-
tired to Curacao where he formed a
connexion with Brion, by which he
