A writer in the Richmond Wing, who signs

the late contest between Mr.. ]. S. Barbour and
Mr.. Wallace, has the following significant in
quiry:
Has the Globe any knowledge of the inter-
ference of the President, in the CuIpeper ~election?
Does its editor know Of 4 request made by the
President, to a certain individual, to use all his
influence, and spare no e~xertious to put down
Barbour! | do not expect that s." the official
organ will sscondescend " to notice these quer-
les, put by an ANONYMOUS writer;-but | learn
that evidence to sustain the charge is in beins;-
and perhaps ere long he may find it necessary to
pay them a passing notice"
Mr.. Allen having received a majority of 200
over MIR. Mason in the county Of Page, is elect

Boa, Race at Que5ec.-The Quebec papers
mention in the rowing matches which took place
last week at Quebec. the two boats from New
York carried all before them. "Much of the
high reputation says the Montreal Gazette,
which the Whitehall boatmen have acquired for
themselves, Is doubtless owing to the superiority
OF the craft, and great judgment was manifested
BY the officers of the SD and list regiments in
their row boats from New York" In a
match between two six cared gigs. the
Yankee doodle built in New York. and Colonel
Cores True Blue, the race was easily taken by
the former. In a match between four cared gigs.
the American boat Eagle beat with great ease the
Fire Fly. She was rowed with oars of a greater
than those sent from New York with her.
