ence from its shores. But unless the folly or RASH
ness of foreign power compes the United States to
adoptthe latter alternative, there will be prevalent
disposition on the part of our government and
people to defer the day of strife, which must come
sooner or later, but which all wise, temperate and
discreet men desire to postpone as long as possible.
The NORTH AND SOUTH AeAIN-FAsHoN's SECOND
APPEARANCES THIS wKEK-ANoTHER GREAT MATCH
BETWEEN HER AND PEYToNA.-Between the two
races yesterday, II announced from the Judges
stand, amid considerable cheering, that Fashion
would make her second appearance this day, in a
tour mile race, against Jannetteau, the second crack
horse In Mr. kirkmans stable one of the best three
mile horses OF the South. Some good sport is anti
clpated, and no doubt both will give good account
OF themselves. The odds were, on the stand last
evening, 500 to S75 on Fashion. This is rather
heavy work tor this fine animal-wo four mile races
within four days. We shall endeavor to express the
result OF this race by special carriers We think
it equally worthy Of the result and doubtless we shall
be as successful ever Another match between her
and Peytona will come off over the Camden course,
about the 9th of next month. Here it will be
really seen, which animal has the superiority of
powers. Although there will be doubtless great num-
bers present, there will be no New York mob of
some 100000 to impede their progress This
match will be looked to, by the admirers OF good
sport with more interest than oven the great affair
of Tuesday last.
GOVERNOR WRIGHrs VEro MKssAGE-Words-
words-words-words Silas Wright has lost more
character as man of real talent, IN the five months
ne has been In Office, than he gained in the ten pre-
vlous years.

into law, excluding the metropolis. Well-if the

INTERESTING LITERARY INrELLrGENcE-Its seems
that Cornelius Mathews (Puffer Hopkins) and bro
theirs are soon to into possession of half mil
lion of dollars left them by relative by the mothers
side, recently deceased in Philadelphia Here
after, we cannot doubt, Puffer Hopkins works will
become much more popular with the New York lite
rati and sugar-hogshead aristocracy. Half mil
lion of dollars is quite sufficient to establish the most
brilliant literary reputation for any man.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT no PEYToNA, THE RACER.
Yesterday gentlemanly looking man purchased
bunch .of Regalias, and while he was smoking one
of them near the stall OF Peytona, the admirable

OF them at Henriques, 81 William street."
The BowERY THEArREs-OLD AND NEw-The
attention of the City Authorities is called to the dam
gerous condition in which the walls of the Old
Bowery still remain We have heard many COM
plants on this subject, and hope it will no longer
pass unnoticed. We understand, moreover that
repeated applications have been made at the doors
of Tyon's New Bowery Theatre for admission
| with tickets purchased of Mr. Jackson and issued
since Tryon's successful and elegant establishment
| opened. These tickets were sold to build another
house with which the New Bowery has no connex-
ion whatever they will not, therefore, be received
