II NOW PREDICT that in few years
FELT will be one Of the best stations
IN America +; am sure from the APP
pearance of Felt's colts here and in
England, no horse can boast of a better
or mere promising progeny. They will
be, jimmy opinion, very distinguished on
the turf and under the saddle-yes,
every where. The colts by our i'm
ported horses are winning all our stakes
in the best possible style and manner;
out Of 10 races in which the imported
horses colts have started, they have
won 8 races, and but for the unkind
running of colt would have won the
other race. There were 20 or 90 sub
scrlbers to the large Petersburg stakes;
OF these there were 9 or 8 by our hor-
ses, the rest 20 or upwards by Ameli-
can stlllions-the colts by our horses
run list. I'd. Sd. and 4th., in the race,
won at 4 heats, track very heavy and
time good each heat-it is allowed by
all pafues TO be the best race ever run
over the course.-There were IL SUBJ
scribers to the other stake at Newman
ket, 4 by our horses and s by natives,
won at 2 heats by Major Ridley's colt
(by imported horse in I'm. 53sec. and
I'm. 52sec. very easily. The colts by
imported horses run in the large stakes
at Lawrenceville, 800 dollars entrance.
were placed LIST. I'd. and 3d., there
were as many or more colts by natives
than by imported horses.-At Belfeld
they won 3 stakes in first rate style and
time, repeating in 2 Of them in I'm.
52sec. and imported horses colts COM
tending for 2 of the races; to one ofthese
stakes there were subscribers and on
ly one colt by our horses qualified to
start. In FELT you now have one of
the uery best-a better horse in my
humble opinion than Luzborough or
Fylde, and see how their colts run"

route bounded BY Broadway and Canal street dswn 10

Monday the 18th inst only authorised to serve or TO
collect money in that part of the city, We have rea
son to believe that gross imposition and swlnd
ling have been attempted upon our subscribers. Let
them take care pay any boys or men for papers
delivered from and after the 18th inst No one has
any right to collect for that route but the carrier we
have mentioned James Miller.

who will soon be hanging themselves by the dozen

been, during the last three years riding in Their spe-
did carriages, sporting their blood horses, and giving
their fashionable parties reverse of fortune can
hardly be prevented. BY the middle Of May we should
not be surprised to find halfa dozen hanging at every

by way of escaping the calamity Of low pricts and
cheap bread and beef In such case the public &C.

going on in real estate. A few weeks ago we cacu-
lated his reverence be worth $685. o7 i6 nearly
as we could Judge from list of his lots furnished

of this amount. The depreciation in horse llesh OF

comfort in that.

REFORM IN Social LIvE.--We are in the beginning
Of age l see around me all the old men Of
the last century, whose mouths have been shut for
years, coming out aud relating their past expert
ence in trade in the business of human life and in
practical philosophy. We have been mad as
England was during the South Sea mana-or France
in the Mississippi scheme. The world has been FOR
the last ten years going to the devil credit and
bank money.
The age now beginning will be more moderate
age than the past. II will be an age of specie OF
gold and sver-of the real stuff. We hav, been
going mad and are just coming to our senses. We
have imagined ourselves all rich--ovcrgrown with
paper wealth and hence launched out into every sps-
cies of extravaganza.
The fathers of the present day instead OF educahng
their daughters for the nursery-to superntend a
house-look after the seryants-save money ana
proven, extravaganza have been sending them 10
the fashionable boarding schools to TIT them Tor the
drawing room-to prepare them tor Saratoga-to
mould them for the ranks of fashion, extravaganza,
and expense. We will have TO come back TO the
simplicity of old times No fashlonably educated
young beauty thought poor fellow worth is for a
husband unless he was great Spectator In lands
and could keep his carriage. Moderate men will now
be able to get bit of reasonable wife-for the days
Of large fortunes are gone.
The present revolution is the most radical that ever
took place in this or any country. The crash OF IN
commercial world will produce an equal crash IN the
CAV and fashionable world. We shall have back the
days of simplicity economy, simple beaaty-pure
affecton-ana an absence OF all fashion, pride, al
fectation, folly and nonsense. The general Gala
nifty of the times will produce more real good on
the morals and habits Of the age than the diffusion OF
a new religion or a fresh faith from heaven.
IsrIDEL IMpUpEScE-The double convicts and IN
fdels of the Sun call Jedediah Burchards operations
in Chatham Chapel "profanatons and sacrlegous
mockeres ofreligion."
1t is quite amusing to see the associate OF Fanny
Wrght-now a convicted seal breaker, not yet SEN
fenced to the penitentiary-talk about the "mock
cries Of religion" in any person. Who has ever SC
darngly Knocked religion as the very convict of the
Sun? The truth must be TOLD. We learn that Jede
dah Burchard has given great offence to the Taberna
Gle clique Jededah runs opposition line IN the bu
sness of SALVATION and having great natural genius
he entirely monopolizes the business. Again, Jede
dah prefers saving the souls of pretty women while
the fanatics of the Tabernacle stick blacks negroes
and abolition folly!
There is terrible quarrel brewing among the rel
sionsts of the day We neutral at present. but
Their incl ned Jcdcdah because he has better taste
in female beauty Than the old line at the Tabernacle
However we shall be just to BOTH and to the convc'
