VALUABLE HORSES BrRNEp.-A car containing two
horses, and the person who had them in charge on
the Saratoga Railroad, caught fire the Sd inst

were burned so badly that one was instantly killed,
and il Is expected the other will not survive his

blooded hunters, end valued at 50 600. They were
named respectively Marquis and Alfred and were
noted for their speed, the former having won at the
last steeple chase at Quebec, after q remark ably
quick race. The cars were In motion when the fire
commenced, and Marquis was completely lifeless,
when Alfred, BY a strong effort, broke out the side
Of the car, and jumped into the water, nearly iaycd
He was burned very badly but 1t is possible that he
may survive his burns. they were both owned by

MORE DECAPITATIOSs IN THE CUsTON HOUSE,
1t will be seen by letter from Mr. James p.
Dunn, which appears in another part Of our pa
per, that the political guillotine is again busily
at work in the Custom House, and is likely to
make clean sweep Of all who are obnoxious to
the ruling Fourteen unfortunate heads
have, it appears been cut Off at one fell blow,
and more decapitations are daily expected.
The offence is as usual, the exercise Of the right
Of freedom of opinion, and the non-paym of
the tax levied on custom house officials for cleo
pioneering purposes If any thing were wanting
to complete the catalogue Of meanness and pal
try acts of vindictveness which have disgraced
the whole political course of the present ad-
ministration, it would be found in this proceed
ing. 1t is impossible that any government
could either obtain confidence at home or
respect abroad which only exhibits hesitation
and weakness where energy is demanded, and
firmness where indulgence and generous for
bearancc would be polite. 1t is high time to
put an end to system by which the efficient
service Of our public departments is rendered
subservient to the paltry interests and almost
ties Of political intrigues

here are six cerrGn, and probably eight wings,
who would not support it. How many demo-

that the wings have ridden it to death? Mr..

In conclusion, it may not be considered in
appropriate to quote sentence from Governor
