ARRIVAL OF Mas. NOTWITHSTANDING the pas
sengers by the Pacific at New York we find the
name of Mrs. Mowatt. This lady returns home
after professional career of some four years of
very brilliant and lucrative character in Eng land
Previous to her departure committee of inlucn-
tial friends rendered her complimentary benefit
at the Haymarket Theatre, but finding that its re-
ception would compel her to remain in England
beyond the time she had promised her American
friends and relatives that she would return, she
abandoned the affair with its accompanying eclat,
and took passage for New York on the day she had
fixed many months previous. Mrs. nj. has won
the paudits of the best English critics Of the STAGE
among whom may mention the now venerable
Leigh Hunt, who used to write critiques on Mrs.
Siddons, John Philip Kemble, and Cooke. Leigh
Hunt has written play for Mrs. M, which she
will probably produce in this country.

Two CLAIMANTS FOR A GoAT.--A female goat,
the excellence and immensely of hose milk giving
qualities is declared to be beyond all praise, was
yesterday taken before Recorder Seuseneau who
called on TO declare which of the two claim
ants was the real one. Wolf, the first claimant,
swore and proved positively thA3 the goat was his,
and moreover, shc found in his possession.
Rely, the second claimant, procured equally pos
tive testimony that the gout his, and that che
had been spirited away from his legal custody.
The goat herself looked wise ON the occasion and
though abe was willing TO lick salt from the hand
either of Wolf or Rely, beyond that she did not
seem to care pinch of snuff who had her, or how
the suit concerning her was decided. The Recor-
der dismissed the case, and advised the issue of
civil process.--Neiu Orleans Delta.

frequently occur upon the approach of a thunder
cloud and sometimes before the cloud is in sight;

M. THIERs.--A Paris letter gives the following
account Of the labors of this historian and states
man, the tenth volume of whose Historic du Consul
Lat eide pEmpue has just been published at Paris,
and the eleventh of which is announced to appear
shortly
"Surprise has been expressed that Nj. Theirs,
absorbed as he seems in political labors and in
trigues, the chief Of great party, the prime mover
of the Legislature, and charged with the most la
borious portion of committee business, should be
able to find time to continue his History, a work
which requires almost incalculable labor in the in
vestigation of facts, the examination of official des
patches and documents, the wading through of
masses OF private correspondence, and books and
pamphlets in all languages, and the questioning of
statesmen, generals, dipomatists, and simple sol
dicrs, who took part in tho events to be described
But in the words of the drinking song, the histo-
rian- statesman 'lengthens his days by taking n
few hours from the night, He sleeps little; and
every day, winter and summer, he is in the study
by four o'clock in the morning; and there he la
bors SO diligently, that he has done good day IS
work before other people have put aside their night
caps. Moreover, he possesses, like Caesar, the pre-
cous quality of being able to do two things alta
time. Thus he makes persons who want to see him
go early in the morning, six or seven o'clock, and
while talking with them he takes notes from his
papers, or, running up ladder, carefully traces
the route of an army on the gigantic maps which
adorn his walls"

SETTING TYRE IN GRHAT SALT LAKE CrrY.-Dr.

IMPORTANT TO FARMERs.-The Hartford Times
mentions a farmer who took up fence after it had
been standing fourteen years. and found some of
inc posts nearly sound. and others rotted of at the
bottom. Looking for the cause he discovered that
the posts which had been inverted from the way
tney grew were solid, and those which had been
set as tney grew were rottcd off. This is certain
~ an incident worthy of being noted by farmers.

MONEY AND STOCK MARKET.

WAsHIEoToE, July 25, 1851.
Money is still little tight at the East, the large
shipments Of coin to Europe not being replaced by
the receipts from California. The late fire in San
Francisco has no doubt caused considerable
amounts to be retained, but after the next thirty
days we may look for large amounts from that
place. Railroad mortgage bonds are the favor
tie investments.
The western railroads must be doing profitable
business, ii judge from the following state
ment of receipts of one of them:
MADISON AND INDIANAPOLIS RAILROAD CoMPA-
EY.-The receipts show a large increase compared
with the corresponding months last year
Receipts for transportation for six months just
closed ............ ...........' Slol ,5OS 20
Amount same six months in $780,. l0O,350 35
increase. ........... .......-....s. 1ol,lo5 OU
being a fraction over ffty-one per cent. We have
TO note, during this time, large increase Of travel
and this continues to improve. The harvest of the
year is secure, and extremely heavy and. though
the receipts of the last six months of 1850 were
large, it is confidently expected that the present
term will show increase upon that period,
though not large, probably. as that of the past
six months. Total earnings lO3,73S 4S-or near
