 The Turf-At an early hour in the forenoon of yesterday, the route to the presented animated scene, The bright which shone so auspicuousy induced many of them to exchange the dusty streets of city, for the clear air of Long Island. Every countenance beamed with anticipa- ton of the expected pleasure, and none, save those who lost too deeply, had to complain that their tcipations not realized
 A few minutes after o'clock the match between Livingstons G0tah and Col J0hnson's Virginia mare, BonnetS of Blue, for $10 900 commenced; the animals are each years old, Goiah got by Elipse, and Bonnots of Blue by Sir Charles: the sires of both have been famous on the turf. The Jockey who rode the Southern mare was dressed in blue; he, of the Northern in red, each carried feather weight. In the first heat inc mare kept the lead with apparent ease, and the knowing ones say that it was permitted with a view of saving Goliah for the two last which it WAS expected he would win on bottom In the second heat the mare had the lead in thc first mile and half, but the horse then passed her by and kept in the advance for more than a mile. This was the most interesting part of the race; appearances were go much III favor o Gollah, that although betting nj the end of the first heat was three to two, and even two to one on the mare now many were taken at evel bets. Finally, the mare won the second heat by about two lengths, The time of the first heat, miles, was Sm. 15 sec: the second Sm. Several thousand dollars changed own CTS in the of the day. The spirits of the gay Southerns, rendered still more buoyant by the success of their favorite. They protest that they care nothing for the money they have won that they will circulate it in the great metropolis. and are anxious for, and jealous only of the sporting charac- ter of the gallant south.
 Every sportsman knows of course, that this is not the first success achieved by :" Bonnets of Blue"- In the spring of 1S30 she three great stakes Union Course and in the following October she won the sweepstakes at Tree Hill, Richmond, and on both these occasions her speed was greater than ex- hibited yesterday.-N.

Starlight is round me-and the night-winds moan, In dying murmurs breathes it's mystic tones Calm'd are the waters in their eradl'd bed, Their voices silent and their music fed Each morning wave that danc'd nirolic mood Der the fair bosom of the Warriors flood, Moves in soft cadence to the midnight oar And waits lis echoes to the silent shore Starlight is round mo-and the vesial train Glide Tn mild heanty Ter the azure plain; Their graceful robes with living light unfurl'd, Hang in rich yestments OCT the silent wofld Foremost in radiance and ethereal grace, Clean the fair daughters of Pleione's race Where groupd in wild confnson's dazzling light, Their vivid gances shun the gazers sight. AroT i'd the Virgins starry zone appear Her gems of beauty on each silent sphere And in their cluserd Isles of golden hue. Glow with mild aspect thorugh the solar blue. Starlight is round me-and in cadence clear, The tlr-of hugle steals upon the ear Der the hushd waters comes its soltened swell, Like dying swan-notes breathing loves farewell; Through midnight dews its mellow richness dies, Till breathed again in ccho's distant sighsl Starlight is round mc-and turn 10 view The blissful scenes where ifst friendship grew pause to bear thy voice in every wind, bring thy image to my anxious mind: Yet all is lonely, and my widow'd heart, Still fingers round unwilling to depart damp, Nights watch-tow' rs wane, the dews of moms cold Hath veipd the lustre of each golden lamp. Starlight is fading-but thou art not here. To sooth my spirit with thy love sincere; No more thy voice shall calm this aching breast, Nor charm with hope inc mourner's sriefa to rest; Days months and years long iown have sadly told Of blghted hearts-once warln--hut now grown cold

EMT1TH much pleasure we again announce w to the public, that the second session
 of the PREPARATORY AND FEMALE SCHOOL, for the current year, under our supcrintendance, went into operation on Mon- day the 10th ut. under auspices highly flat tcring, ninety-one having already come in to claim membership. This fact fully con. vinces us that we must have rendered general satisfaction at our last examination, and that cur patrons vet have great faith in good orr der, strict attention to business and accurate instruction in order to make scholar. These advantages we profess to bestow upon all our pupils. We have again engaged the services of Mir J. s. FIRSTLY, late of $.

 From the united efforts of the present num- Der of teachers now engaged, we fully be- lievc, and have no hesitancy in declaring to the public, that we feel ourselves able to be- stow any advantage of instruction, in either that can be bestowed, in any simi lar institution in the State. We shall, by the first favorable opportunity, send for globes, maps, and other apparatus that we now need for the use of our school. The best of tutors shall be employed to assist whenever assis- tancc becomes necessary, and the most ap- proved textbooks used. In order that we may not fall short in our wishes to accommo- date our pupils with the necessary means of
 instruction, we solicit the continuation of the liberal patronage, that has hitherto accompa- nied us in our past eXertions Having for cer- tain reasons, varied cur terms of tuition, we here give the rates attached to the several branches taught in our school. to wit; For Spelling, Reading and Writing S6 per ses- sion; for Arithmetic, English Grammar and Geography, S1o per session; and for Latin, Greek, the higher branches of the Mathe- matics, including Geometry, Trigonometry, Mensuration of heights and distances, Alge bra, Natural and Moral Philosophy, Logic.
