ENGLISH us ARAB lIoRsts.-hbout l8 months
ago, Abbas Pacha, Governor of Egypt, chal-
lenQed the jocky club 10 run their English horses
against the Arabs for the sum of from $4,000
to 100000, optional To either party, allowing
also n start Of 300 yards to the English horses,
the distance to be ten miles. This challenge
was not accepted by the jocky club, nor did they
publish it, consequently the viceroy concluded
thew were afraid to meet him. In consequence
of the above challenge Of the governor of Egyp',
many parties may be anxious to know what an
English thoroughbred horse can do amongst the
Arabs An Hungarian officer, attached to the
staff Of Gen Guyon, writing from Damascus,
in Syria, says:
"General Guyon's English mare is thorough
bred, out Of Hisdostan by Lighfoot; she was
brought from England in lS4S, and is now 81
years old We have often made excursions, al d
frequently came in contact with the Bedouins,
owners Of the finest Arab horses. Frequ, ntly
races have been got up, when the English mare
has been successful The Bedouns insist upon
her being an Arab mare, though they are rather
puzzled at her size, as she stands 8 hands
inch. From what have seen of her perform
ances, think welI-trained English horse would
beat any Arab whatever and in any way. Cen
eral Guyon's mare, when only year and a half
old, went through the campaign in Hungary in
l84a. 30 she has been we'll worked, though, of
course, not trained for racing. "-Aorh British

A New York letter says II is stated that the
importation of silk goods and other fancy fabrics
for ladies' dresses, into the port of New York,
varies from one to three millions of dollars in
value weekly, and that the cost of these gew
gaws for the fairer part of our population is what
drains the country of specie, and brings on CON-
mercial distress 80 if the ladies go upon the
principle of rule or ruin, they will be pretty sure
TO accomplish one of their purposes.
