ANOTHER AMERICAN YACHT VfcToRY.-
The London News, of the 10Th ult., gives an
account Of Yacht Race, in which the
Truant, an American clipper, proved the
victor. The number Of her competitors was
seven. The News says:
The distance appointed was from Black
well to Gravesend and back, and the Truant
was backed by her friends to eclipse any on
the list. She was declared TO be an American
clipper that possessed the advantage of
shifting keel, and could beat Or run at such
pace as to warrant the favorable opinion
expressed of her. There were other very
good things on the list, but the American SO
engrossed the attention of leading yatchtsmen
that but little thought was bestowed upon
them. AS the time approached for the start
the most lively interest prevailed, and as they
had to beat against dead noser all the way
down, it was quite evident that, barring
accidents, the merits OF the boats would be
tested, and soon enough indeed they were.
Mr.. ]. Barnrcstle, the commod, re having in
spected the watches at their stations, gave
the signal to 60 off at II hrs. A min, which
was promptly obeyed by the whole of the
fleet. The Albatross was first fairly under
weigh, and next the Idas, but the Truant
almost Immediately took the lead of the
whole OF the fleet, aud never forfeited her
proud position. Her rig was the sloop charac-
ter, her fore sail and jib being in one, and,
like the America, laced to her boom. A
more handy craft was never seen on the
Thames

The locofocs and the free soilers are trying
very hard to destroy the Wing party. The
locofocos think thatifthis was done, the great
mass of the wings would go to them, rather
than to the free soilers; while the free soilers
are very confident that they would get the
great body of the wings. We tell them, once
for all, the wings can go to neither Of them
they can 60 for free trade and direct taxation
under no circumstances whatever. The wings
well know that our manufacturers can scarce
ly live, with the triff we now have, and if the
doctrines Of either of the other parties were
carried out, that our manufactures would be
totally prostrated-that the doctrines of eth
er the locofocos or the free soiers would des-
troy the country. In our opinion, both the
locofocos and the free solers are fishing }o.
Whales ,oith pin hooks. When they catch any
we hope they will let us know.

Review of the Wool Market.

The Wool GroUer contains the following
very cheering news to the growers of wool.
The impression had been that wool was on
the decline, and that those who gave such fair
prices in the early part Of the spring had lost
money by their specuations. We are glad
to see tho report contradicted by SO good au-
thority: .'
SIN the last number I notice query, which
would seem to squint at the possibility the
prices current might be influenced by the
manufacturers or spectators. While have
the control of this department, it will be as it
always has been, entirely independent of any
thing and anybody.
Less independence on more than one occa-
sion would have been very much to my own
advantage pecuniarily. l have put money
into the pocket of the farmers; but it has
been to my own serious loss. Let that pass,
and let no one doubt the entire failhfulness
Of these reviews. The dealers have settled
into the conviction that they will get very
little wool under so cents per pound, for at
that figure the light clean merno wool will
pay to export to England. The range Of
prices will vary from so to G5 cents on all ex.
cept very light, clean Saxony, which will 60
from IS to 80 cents, and some very choice
lots may reach 81; at which price German
lambs wool is selling in London. The pros
pect for the wool grower is very bright, and
there is no probability Of the staple being We.
ry low again for a great many years.

Ex-GovERHoR SHANNON is reported to be
continually hauntedby awoman who followed
him from California, where she claims to have
been legally married to him. She has estab-
lished herself not far from the Ex-GovernOr's
residence, has plenty of money, and gives him
very little peace. ea ,,1
We copy the above from the Marietta In
teuigsncer., In it we are satisfied that injus-
tice is done to the Representative from this
District--and though we are, and always have
been opposed to Gov. Shannon's politics, fully
believing them to be the worst kind that there
is in our country, we have no desire tosee in
Justice done TO him in his private relations.
We are aware that many tales and surmises
have grown out of the fact that woman from
California presented claim against Gov
Shannon, but as the whole subject is mat
of Judicial record, under the oath of the parties
interested, we think the matter might with
propriety rest there. 'f5
We have room at present, for only a very
brief summary of the facts there set forth.
From the record it appears that Mrs. Rob-
inson kept boarding house and hospital in
California, while Gov. Shannon was there
that Gov. Shannon went security on two notes
that were due to Mrs. Robinson, and was in
deb,ed to her for some money which, as at
borney, he had collected for her. When he
was about preparing TO return home, he made
settlement and gave his note for these sums,
paying, before he left, all that was due, except
the security consideration. w., ..,. ....
Mrs. Robinson come to this place to collect
the money, but it seems she had, lost Gov.
Sbannon's note. The Gov Of course did moi
know bat that the note might have been
transferred, and was not willing to pay with.
out receipt from both her and her husband
against the note. 1t appears that Mrs. Rob
inson claimed all the money. and her HUSBAND
claimed all, and suit was brought agains
Gov. Shannon, and her husband, by Mrs
Robinson. Both answered under oath, an
there is no discrepancy between the oaths O
the three parties as to the debt--but the has
band denied that there was any bargain be
tween him and his wife to the effect that sh
was to have all the money she made by he
boarding house and hospital, while in Cal
fornia. "'
THIS then seems to be the whole of th
~ L..
security debt, SO soon as the court decree
to whom it should be paid, and that he cou
safely do so. as his own note was not fort
coming. & .o..aa a,.Ie
We think the editor of the Marietta i
telligencer has been imposed on. and, bad
Gov. Shannon's politics are, we are satisG
brother GATES would not do him an inte
tional wrong.

Miraculous EscAPE.--In a store adjoining
the one at the corner of Jackson and Front
streets, and which was destroyed by fire on
Wednesday night, were nine hundred pounds
of gunpowder. 1t was separated from the
burning building by a thin board partition,
three -fourths of an inch in thickness, which
was half burned through. The powder was
owned BY Mr.. Mills, who maintained strict
silence on the subject during the conhagra-
ton; but yesterday morning Mr.. Hossefross,
the Chief Engineer, received intelligence of
the fact, when warrant was issued and Mr..
Mills taken into custody. He gave bail in
81 900 to appear this morning at II O'Clock,
in the Recorders Court. The mind fairly
sickens at the prospect of the terrible loss OF
| life and injury that would have resulted, had
the powder ignited. The whole Fire Depart
ment, who were ignorant Of the fact, with
hundreds of spectators, would undoubtedly
have been swept into eternity at one blow.
| Immense masses of burning material would
have been scattered broadcast over a large
portion of the city, and doubtless ignitins
many other places, which, in the absence o
the fire apparatus and our efficient flre depart
