The GoOdyyOOd Horse Race.

HALIFAX Aug IL.
The telegraph lines have been partially re-
paired, and we now transmit the concluding
portion of the public dispatch which has
been delayed by the heavy storm.
The following meagre particulars of the
great race for the Goodwood cup we gather
ed from the Liverpool papers.
The Fr.nch horse Monarque won the race.
The English horse Arizbar is placed sec
ond, and Fisherman third. Gunboat slipped
and fell,and Kestral and Gemmi Dvergy also
fell heavily.
Monarque won by a head, and Arizbar
beat Fisherman by about three lenths. An
ton was placed fourth, and two lengths be-
hind Fisherman. The American horses Pry-
or and Prioress were placed fifth and sixth,
and the English horse Melissa seventh all
the Others pulled up.
The finish is said to have been the most
exciting ever witnessed.
Tie English papers remark, but without
assigning any reason,th that the American horses
would have figured more promptly had they
been rode by English jockeys.

All the vessels composing the expedition
for laying the Atlantic telegraph CABLE ana
arrived at Cork. A telepraphic dispatch
from Cyrus w. Field, Esq, at Queenstown,
dated 3lst ult states that the cable had been
ioined the evening previous, and messages
sent through its entire length in less than a
second.
The shore was to be landed and the ves-
sells were to commence sinking the cable on
the third or fifth instant, if the weather pro-
we'd propitious.
The royal assent had been given to the
bill of incorporating the company.
The race for the Goodwood cup, came off
on the 30lh. There were fourteen entries
including the American horses Pryor and
Pryoress who came in 5th and 9th respective
ly.
The details of the Indian news reached
London on the evening of the 3lst. a let
ter from Madras dated June 18th, stated that
Delhi had fallen. At the last authentic ac-
counts which the insurgents, but it was gener-
ally believed in London that it had fallen.
The mutiny is widespread, and appears
to have effected the whole Bengal army
Ten thousand additional troops had been or
dered to India. Great alarm prevailed at
Calcutta, where it is feared the Mussulman
population had formed the design of rising
and taking possession of the city. The in
habitants kept themselves armed, and the ho-
tel and principal places were garrisoned by
sailors belonging to ships in the river.
There is some anxiety about the Nsanes
country, as the first regiment of cavalry had
mutinated, and great atrocities had been
committed at Hanize and Hesper Many
Europeans escaped.
Further details of the war in China state
that on the 9th of May, thirteen junks were
destroyed, and on the 2Sth, twenty-seventh
heavily armed junks were captured by the
English.
On the 9Th of June, 1000 British forces
captured fort and took or destroyed one
hundred and-seven junks, amounting to over
nine hundred guns, with 5000 men.

tors was to take place on the 9th or Sth

A Baby and a Baslket--A Small
Catastrophe.

The Philadelphia Pennsylcanian has the
following good story among its police re-
ports:
As Mrs Esther Stansbury, residing in a
court running from Rrce, below Sixth street.
was about to bring bucket of water from
the hydrant, last nieht, she found basket
suspended from the knob of the front door,
Putting her hand into the basket, she felt
something alive and kicking, so wrapped up
in rags that no farther discovery could be
made without unwrapping tie object. A
piece of paper, folded like letter, lay by the
side of the animated bundle. Mrs. Stans-
bury Immediately returned into the house,
and by the light of lamp examined the bill
let. 1t was directed to her husband. She
tremulously broke the seal, and read as fol-
lows:
ITO JOE STANsBURY-Gr: L send you
the baby, which you will please take good
care of, and bring up right, so that it may
turn out better man than its daddy. Oh,
Joseph what sly old rake you are! Who
would think that such sober old spindle
shanks could be such tearing down old
sinner? The child is yours-you may swear
to that. Look at tit is Joe Stansbury
all over. You deceived me shamefully, Joe
letting on to be widower! But do a
fathers duty by the young one, and I'll for
give you.
Your beart-broken NANCY.
P. S.-DOn't let that sharp-nosed wife of
yours see this letter. Cannon her with
some sort of story about the baby.
N"
Mr. Stansbury was in the basement kitch-
III;
agining what storm was brewing over his
head. The door of the kitchen was violent
ly thrown open, and his wife's voice yelled
OUT "Stansbury, come up here you villain!
Here's a mess for YOU"
The astonished Stansbury hastily obeyed
the summons.
Don't you want to see Nancy. the heart
broken Nancy ?" cried Mrs. Stansbury, when
her guilty husband hobbled into the ROOM.
Nancy! what Nancys that ?" said the
sly old rogue, in we'll -feigned astonishment.
why, Nancy, the mother of this baby
that's hung up at the door, Mr.. Stansbury
Oh, you look mighty innocent (; just read
that letter, and look into the basket! Don't
be afraid, it won't bite it's got no teeth,
poor thing. You well know it for, as the
hussy says, it's just like you all over. Please
goodness, I'll expose you to everybody"
In less than fire minutes, Mrs. S. had COL
lected room full of spectators-half of the
inhabitants of the court-to witness the pro-
cess of unwrapping the baby. Anxious ex-
pectation sat on every countenance, as the
jealous lady tore away rag after rag from
the body Of the founding, the vigorous
movement of which astonshed every body.
I" It's full of the devil already" said Mrs. S..
';that shows it's his. You'll soon see that it
is like him in everything"
At last, all the swaddlng clothes being
removed, out jumped the baby and made its
escape through the open window. 1t was
big Tom cat.

NEW YORK, aug. lU.
All vessels comprising the expedition for

A Curious Piece of Romance.

The New Orleans exchange papers are full
of a singular piece of romance that is now on
the tapis in that city. The particulars are
as follows
"a young millner- girl, with whose charms
a young Spaniard had become smitten, was
presented by him with ticket in the Havana
Lottery, on the condition that if she drew a
prize they should share the money and get
married. The girl smilingly consented to the
arrangement, and the amoIous Spaniard
lett.
The next arrival from Havana after that
brought the drawing of the lottery and what
was the astonishment and delight of the pref
ty millinary and her beau to find that the
three-eighths, held between them, were of
the number which drew the capital prize, and
poured at their feet, as if by magic, the plea
sing little pinch of S1S,75O, (ess the dis
count in cashing , The young man lost no
time in coming to an understanding with the
sweetheart. He held her TO her bargain
she held to it also and in an ecstacy OF
happiness, the lover set about making pre-
parations for the marriage.
A fine house on Bienville street-whether
purchased or rented we did not learn-was
procured, and fitted up sumptuously for the
coming unpitals and the honeymoon which
was to follow. The bride THAT was to have
been) made lavish use of the money placed
at her command provided herself with d
wardrobe rich enough for queen, and made
other preparations for the coming event
whilst the bridegroom THAT was to have
been) in his ecstacy, presented her with q
case of iewelry worth $2500. Everything
being ready on his part, he called upon hi
intended to see how she was getting along
She received him coldly-avoided converse
tion about the wedding-and finally gave
him to understand, in a manner which hi
could not misunderstood, in that she had chan
ged her mind, and wouldn't marry him, not
wthstanding Dame Fortunes command, anc
the complicated state of the case between
them in regard to the money, jewels, ect,-
She had undergone one of those reverses o
feeling which are so common in sudden &C
cessions to fortunate and there was no ust
in the Spaniard talking to her about mar
riage
The discarded lover did not shoot or drowr
himself, but went straightway and entered
legal proceedings against her. He was ma
king his preparations on Sunday to institut,
suit at law against his faithless fair one, fo
articles purchased Herewith, as well as tn,
jewels presented by himself, and what loos
change she might have besides. He insists
with the tenacity of a Shylock, upon tn
young lady's fufillment of the bond to tn
very letter else not one picayune will he abat
of his just demand.

Fort Laramie dates to the 22nd ult, are re-
ceived. Col. Sumner had arrived at Rents
Fort, and would leave on the 18th, for head
waters of Republican Fork, in pursuit of
Cheyennes Indians. The California trains
had all passed Fort Laramie in good health.
McCraw's wagon road train was at Fort
Kearney. Col. Alexander's regiment, and
Spencers Battery met 225 miles west of
Leavenworth, another regiment was at Roch
Greek.
Capt. Van Welt was at Cottonwood Reins.
The Cheyennes are scattered over the entire
route between Laramie and Kearney. But
little damage had been done to trains, the
Indians fearing to attack large parties. War
had broken out again between the Crows
and Sioux. Several surveying parties were
seen, but nothing was heard of the murders
reported last week. There was nothing from
Utah.

SATURDAY NIGHT.

Saturday night. and all is well,
Saturday night my work is done,
The JOY feel, no tongue can tell
And there is one,
With smiling face and words of grace,
Welcomes me home.
Saturday night! The week that's past,
Was spent in toll but that is gone.
A day of rest has come at last;
And there is one,
Who can fall well, my gloom dispel,
When get home.
Saturday night! Thousands of men,
With me say they're glad it's come.
1 nope there is not one in ten,
But has some one
To warm the heart, and bear good part,
To brighten home.
Saturday night! How sweet the rest
When after days of manly toll,
j find myself the cherished guest,
OF one whose smile
Is meant for me, alone for me-
And all the while.
Saturday night! The week of life,
With all its cares will soon be run,
Ended our toll, and worldly strife,
But there is One,
gracious friend, who in the end,
WIFI bid us Home.

HALIFAX, August II.
The vessels of the Atlantic telegraph cable
expedition were all at Cork and were to leave
on the 1st for Valentla Bay. Experiments to
prove the entire length of the cable were
highly successful.
The American horse Prior and Prioress
had been beaten in the race for the Goodwood
Gun
