We have no doubt there are many fine horses

who takes the trouble to spend day here ought
to see them between the hours Of nine and three,
for there are thousands of them on the ground,
and many of them from the surrounding country

Monetary AGairs.

New York, Dot. 3.-This has been gloomy
day in Wall street. The suspension of Clark
Dodge, g. Co., exercised most depressing effect
upon market already burdened to its full capac-
ity to sustain.
Owing to a failure of the Southern mail to con-
meet at Philadelphia, the checks on stocks, sent on
that day, failed to reach here today, and hence
about S80000 which would be liberated today
will remain in the sub-treasary till Monday.
The feeling of the stock exchange is not one of
total depression. It received a severe shock by
the failure of Clark, Dodge, Co., who were sup
posed to stand above casualty. The sole cause of
their suspension is said to be the blockade in ex-
change They have surplus of over $2,000,000

there will be no interruption in the business of

The banks report that payments have been very

THE GARDNER oRGAN.-The first number of
new political weekly journal made its appear
ancein this city, on Saturday, called the Weekly
american Times. From an editorial in the first
column, we learn that the object Of the publica-
ton is to ''vindicate the cause of worthy ex-
ecutive and to assist in his reelection" Judging
from the number before us, we should not suppose
sour worthy executive would feel much fattered
by the way he is vindicated" in its editorial col
ums.,
From the fact that no less than six columns of
the inside of the paper are devoted to advertise
ments of ses0ing machines, we are inclined to be-
lieve that his Excelency has already a strong
presentiment that both himself and his party are
to be se,oed up at the coming election, and that
contract has already been made, by the terms of
which portion of the job is to be paid for in print
ing. From the fact also that the outside of the
paper is dated Oct. 8, 1856 and the inside is
dated Oct. 8, 1851 we have come to the conclu-
sion that the organ is either to be regular
'sow coach, or else that it is great way be-
hind the times

AWFUL SHIPwREcK--Men eaten BIZ the
Sharks.-An extraordinary case of double
shipwreek is reported in the St. Christopher
(West India) papers. The Rosabella left
Dominica early in May for the Spanish Main.
On the night Of the l4th May storm sud
denly brewed up heavy sea struck the ves-
sci and she became total wreck Nothing
was saved but trunk Of money and with
the captain and supercargo got ashore. They
then purchased cargo of sugar and chartered
the Esther of Curacao. After embarking a
second time, a fearful tornado struck the
schooner and she simultaneously went down.
Twenty. one persons were washed off, and
with great difficulty avoided the vortex of
the sinking vessel. The boat fortunately got
adrift, but the plug was out For three
hours they mady struggled to stop the hole,
and at last it was done.
But meanwhile the sharks had taken off
several of the miserable men, and only thir-
teen succeeded in getting into the boat.
They picked up the oars 1t was quite
dark, and when morning came they saw no
land in any direction, For four days and
three nights the wretched men, without
morsel Of food and scarcely a vestige of
clothing, labored at the oars. and on the
morning of the 9th of July the boat reached
st. Christopher, ten men being alive, but all
in the last stage of exhaustion. One died
almost Immediately after being carried ashore.
The rest were Hospitality cared for.
