AND PEYroNA Five of the best horses of the south

here on Tuesday evening, under the care of their
able trainer, Mr.. Van Leer. Such was the inter.

the boat to them landing, but it was not until
late hour that they were brought shore, and then
so well covered up that there was no telling one
from the other The only thing that could be told
was that first came slashing chesnut mare-next
came a small mare. a shade or two darker-then a
brown horse, and finally grey mare, all under
clothes, and gentlemanly looking man on horse
back, bringing up the rear OF the cavalcade.
They proceeded directly to Mr.. Conover's stables
near Jamaica, L. where they have been in &C.
tive training ever since. We have been favored

Mrs. Heavyside and subsequent care in this coun-

some property amounting to about $500 900, which
she claims in her own right. This is the second
summons received, and the probability is that her
claim will be found to be jns, and that the amount
will be realised. Whether the Doctor will return
to this country not are unable to say; but es

dence here, and had many opportunities OF making
observa,ions it is but fair to suppose that he may
hereafter give some sketches Of his experience
