ITALIAN OrERA.-The engagement of the Italian
troupe at Castle Garden closes tonight. A renewal
of the engagement will, however, probably be made

Opera at this magnificent place of amusement has

very propitious BY all means let the proprietors
secure the troupe for another engagement.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE ExTRAoRDINARY-THE
NORTH AGAINST THE SoUTH-ANorHER TRIAL FOR THE
CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE TuRF-THE NORTH VINDrcA-
TED-Yesterday evening very interesting race
took place within the ratings of the Park, round
one Of the plots of ground between a negro and a
white boy Long before the contest took place.
hundreds of people collected outside the rails, and
through the different avenues leading to the City
Hall, anxious to witness the novel scene. The eve-
ming was fine, and the departing sunbeams cast
dim reflection through the brawny arms of the
aged oak and the fountain danced and leaped and
vanished in a shower of glittering rain-drops.
About half past four O'Clock, the racers showed
themselves at their post, both looking fine silk
and in first rate condition and after some endeavor
on the part Of those in authority, the course was
cleared, and forth they went at Shaping pace neck
ard neck. For considerable time, the chances of
victory trembled in the balance but the superior
training and unrivalled jockeyship of the champion
Of the North showed itself, In his completely dis
tancng his colored opponent at the seventeen round
when the purse was unanimously awarded him by
the judges. The amount of the original purse was
merely nominal, amounting only to five cents, but
which the gallant spirit Of the North increased to
something like two dollars, thus testfying their
gratitude to this successful indicator of their DER
Swallowed fame. We regret we could not obtain
any accurate account of the weights and dresses of
the jockeys. Previous to their being led to their
stables, they were regaled with hearty draught of
pure Croton, from what our reporter was informed,
was one of the identical "tin pans' Of glorious 4

LATEST FROM AUX CAYEs.-We have received by
the brig Crusoe, Capt. Chase, advices from Aux
Cages to the 10th inst.
The excitement on account of Riviere lowering
about the coast, was dying away. Aux Cages, how
ever, was still under martial law. They had half a
dozen armed schooners cruising for Riviere Two
hundred persons were in prison, charged with being
confederates of that chief, few Of whom had been
tried, condemned and shot.
There had been an embargo on Hayden vessels
and boats for two months; consequently yerv little
logwood and coffee had arrived at Aux Caves from
the coast.
American produce was plenty, and veryow Cof-
fee scarce and high--I2h 13c
Business was dull, with every prospect of its re-
manning so.
The Louisiana, Capt Low, has also arrived from
81 domingo with advlces to the 10Th. Intelligence
had reached ST. Domingo that battle between the
Domlnicans and the. Haytiens had been fought. II
was stated that considerable number on each side
were killed. No other result mentioned
