AMERICAN RACE RIpIS".-Bell's Life, in comment
ing on the recent defeat of the American horses
In the race for the Goodwood Cup saws:
| Both of the American horses that run sor tho
Goodwood Cup, evidently lacked an English prena-
| ration Pryor. in particular. seemed fat: and aster
the lmpatience which he displayed before the start
people were surprised TO see him figure so promi
| ant IC in ft,ar L..
however, that if the American horses had been rid
den by English jockeys. they would have been nlpeh
nearer the winner at the finish Indeed AT the
distance, Pryoress looked quite formidable and
her success appeared to be within the range Of
possibility. Her rider. however sat bolt unri Sbt
upon her and held her in manner which would
have excited suspicion had an English Jockey
adopted the same style of riding The "Ameri-
cans, in fact, seemed ignorant OF "nursing" and
easing their horses. and of making those finishes
| which impart something artistic to the profession
OF an English jockey. Prioress. too, was nearly
going the wrong course and her rider did not dis
cover the mistake until the lead was taken from
| him. and he saw the horses bearing away to his
right. After their performance at Goodwood how
ever the pretensions of the American horses will
bc no longer disparaged.
BURGLAR hILLED-A negro burglar entered the
premises of gentleman near Memphis on the
night OF the 10th inst and proceeded to rausack

after, the burglar with unparalleled impudence re-
turned, and again attempted to enter by a window;
upon which the oyerseer shot him to the heart
lie ran about twenty steps and fell dead He
proved to be a stalwart slave of citizen of Mem
pliIs, and was evidently well prepared for a des-
perate undertaking, having on his person two pis-
tolls and ammunition, large knife, Il box of match
es, candle and pocket book, containing S25.

4 QUEER STORY.-The Paris correspondent of the |
New York Times writes that queer story is in |
circulation in Iayre in regard to Carpenter, the
French defauter, by which il seems that the favo
rite of VI. de Rothschild, during his short pigri
Iaage to the United states, inspired romantic af
lection in the breast of ayoung Pennsylvania lady
the daughter Of rich merchant, who had resoly- |
ed to marry him. Opposed naturally by her pa |
rents in fantastic project the young lady, it is
said took TO flight, and in imitation of her idol
perhaps ideal put her hand into the strong box /
which contained her fathers riches, and carried of |
Ia advance her share in the paterns heritage. The |
Fulton on her last trip from New York to IIa- |
is believed to have carried to France this inter-
esting passenger.
A SIGHT WORTH LOOKING Alt would do any |
denizen OF the city good to take aiaunt out beyond
Bugslo Heart Grove, about fourteen miles north
west of town Spread out before him he would see,
from the eminenee on which he stood, cornfeld |
after cornfield for miles in every direction. At the
least calculation there can be taken in at one view
at that point upwards of thirty thousand acres of |
corn. Four years ago it was unbroken prairie |
then it was worth ten dollars per acre; now it |
could not be purchased for less than thirty frty
dollars. Such is a sample of the Progress which |
Central Illinois il making in wealth aud agrieu- |

sudden rise of water saturday evening last The
dam was swept off, and nearly every yestge of the |
mill effaeed. The water almost destroyed q large
field of corn belonging to John G. MoRrnre, Esq. |
which would probably have made hfteen barrels to
the acre. but from which single barrel will
iy now be obtained. sudden and heavy fall of !
rain caused the freshet.
CoLOREp VOTERS IN MAINE.-The Supreme Court |
of Maine has decided that free eolored persons oil
African descent authorized, upon complying

the provisions of the constitution of the STATE 10
he electors for Governor, Senator'S and Representa-
tiyes The decision of the court rendered in
