ANOTHER SNAKE sToRY.--The Sunbu-

lar incident occurred at the table of one
Of our most worthy and respectable far
II ers in the neighborhood. few days
since. The family had baked some pies
early in the morning, and had set them in
the cellar to cool for dinner. 1t was OBJ
served before the pie was cut that it APP
1earcd very full, and no sooner was the
knife thrust into il, than snake issued
out to the utter amazement and terror of
all at the table. This was kind of des-
sert as unwelcome as unexpected. The
Snake, it was supposed, had got in be-
tween the crust while the pie was cooling
on the cellar floor.

The New York Express states as a
singular fact, that a very large portion of
the hard bread that supplies the shipping
Of ENGLAND, and employed in India. is
made in New York. The manufacture
is so good, and the flour so much lower
than in England, that it is shipped in Lon
don in bond, from which it is taken for
the shipping, thus avoiding the heavy
BIRTHS h duties. Formerly the hard bread
biscuit was made round, it is now made
square, so as to make much better stow

FroA lie Tallahassee Slm, July, IA.
We learn by well Uniformed gentleman
recently from Tampa Bay and Cedar

started for The westward on the 1S,h inst.
An Indian runner had lately come in
at the post at Tampa, from the bands OF
sam Jones and the Prophet, on Indian riv-
en-, who states that ii is the desire of these
chiefs to lave peace; that they have for
long time absalning from all acts OF hos
tlllty; and that they will, in the fall, come
il and emgrate. In the mean time. they
request 10 be left unmolested. Colonel
WORTH, we understand, has assigned them
region Of country south and east of The
Okechaba, where they are to remain for
the present. The bands consist, accord
ing TO accredited accounts, OF about thirty
Warriors.
Colonel WORTH is Of opinion that the
only bands from which any further dan
ger need be apprchcndcL ale those on the
LOconner.
Strong hopes are also entertained that
these may be induced to emigrate.

Temperance.

On the first page of to-day's impression, will
be found Report of the Speech of the Hon. L. r.
Marshall, before the American Temperance Un-
;on Celebration, al New-York prefaced by some
appropriate remarks by friend of the ''cause" in
this place. We commend the whole to the
careful attention Of our readers. Mr.. Marshall, is
Il nephew of the late excellent Chief Justice of
the United States; man of superior mind and
education, and The Representative to Congress
from the District in Kentucky, which includes
,he home of IiENRY CLAY. He was elected by
but during the Extra Session, and up to the 9TH
Of January, frequently appeared in the House in
a state of intoxicaiion. On the evening of that
day, TO show his power of self control, and to re-
deem his promise to his constituents. be volun-
tarily came forward and signed the Temperance
Pledge. At the same time he made powerful ad-
dress upon the subject. He spoke of his former
course, (the course of all drunkards) and conclu-
ded by saving "that now as he had signed the
pledge and given his name in aid of the cause, he
would consider it stigma upon his character, and
a disgrace 10 that name, not to live up to the
promise he had made" He has since totally ab-
stained from the use of all intoxicating drinks =
and now instead of the prospect of drunkard' S
early grave, to which his conduct was fast hurry
inc him, no prospect, however elevated or honora-
ble, to which his ambition may prompt him, is so
high that he may not, with the aid of his brilliant
talents, finally reach it. He is noble and gen.
eIous soul, rescued from the flame of the all-de-
vourng fire; and the friends of Temperance may
well he proud of their prosolyte.

The Great Race,
favor.

The great race between the Northern mare,
Fashion; and the Southern horse Boston, came
off on the Long Island Race Course, near New
600, and the challenge came from the owners Of
the Southern horse. The race was the swiftest
on record, beating the time made by the celebrated
Eclipse. in his race with Sir Henry; and, as was
the case in that race, the Northern horse, came of
the victor. The following extract, from a letter
written at New-York, on the evening after the
race, will be read with interest.
"The great race between Boston and Fashion
came off this afternoon-there was an immense
assemblage of people there. Bets were offered
and taken until the last moment, at small odds on
Boston, who was generally the favorite. He was
mounted by Gil Patrick, and Fashion by Joe Laird.
the son of her trainer.
Boston being nine years old, carried l26 lbs,
while the mares appropriate weight being but 5,
was only ILL., making difference of Is pounds,
which within 3, was the same allowed Henry in
the race with Eclipse. This is supposed to have
allowed Fashion about so rods advantage in each
heat, on account of her lack of years.
"The exciting moment for the Start having ar
rived al last, the horses took the ground, while
the immense concourse were brealhless with
anxiety. Boston having won the inside, they
came up evenly, and went eff at the signal like
arrow from the bow. The heat was closely con-
tested on every inch Of ground, but was won by
Fashion in I'm. 80 seconds. The start was even,
and he passed her on the third mile. She pas
sed him at the first gate on the path, and kept
her lead, beating the heat by so yards exactly.
:'SEcoND HEAT.-Aller lapse of 80 minutes
the bugle sounded, and the horses were. called
for second heat. The signal being given,
away they dashed, and after spirited contest
the heat was won by Fashion, who although
behind him about his length the three first
miles, passed him at the gate on the first quar-
ter of the last, and won the heat by length in
clear Time I'm. 80 ID seconds, beating
Eclipses time four seconds. The three first
miles were run in about I'm. 53s. each mile,
and the last in I'm. 55s."
