AII RIGHT-It gives US pleasure TO state
that M A. Wherry, highly respectable citizen OF
petersturg who was arrested 10 this city last wed
nesday morning, charged with threatening violence
TO M Preston, while laboring under an aberra'
Hon of mind, appeared before the Mayor, yester-
dsv having entirely recovered from his indisposi-
ton ami was discharged. Mr. Wherry immediate.
" extended the hand of friendship to Mr. Preston.
which was cordially received, and requested that
,be ,nnlsasaut notes he had written should at once
he destrt yed Those who know Alfred Wherry
sneak of him as noble, warm-hearted gentleman,
and all concur in the opinion that his reason nad
been slightly impaired by excessive business ankle
ties. frou which, we trust, he has entirely recov-
cred.
SPECIE CHANGE.-The officers of the
Customs we understand have set apart Saturday
of each week to accommodate merchants and others
who wish to obtain small gold and silver change In
exchange for larger amounts.
The GREAT BROAD Rock RAcEs.-We
see in the last number of the New York Spirit of
the lines. that correspondent signing himself "a
Young Turfman," attempts TO prove by figures
between Red Eye, Nina and Lawrence was not
so remarkable as we supposed. By referring to
our notes, taken on the day of the race and as an
noulced in the judges stand, we find that the heats
and each mile in each heat, are thus marked. Ii
"a Young Turfman" has been mislead by typo
graphical errors, we beg that we shall not be held
responsible for them:
Istheat. 15s-l5s 55-l54 1.2-746.
End heat, 157-1.54 1-2-l56 12-l56 If
74614 --s
3rd heart, l56 12-1.55 1-2-l56-2 01-7.49.
By our arithmetic, the above miles, noted at
the time and written by in our report for the
'Dispach," on the day of the race make the re-
suit of each heat as given in the spirit OF the
Times'-7 46-746 1 ~ 40.
We then said and now repeat that that race was
ofhe best ever run in this country. up to that
time the heaviness Of the course and the weights
carried being taken into consideration.
We are pleased to see that "A Young Turfman"
has finally conceded that ''old Boston" was race
horse of some merit, and that his representatives
have the speed and bottom to preserve untarnished
his name and fame.
