THE OCEAN STEAM RAcERs-JoHN BULL :
SIDE OF THE SroRY.-The Albion (he British
organ in New York; claims that the Vanderbilt
has not beaten the best time made by the Persia
1t says:
"The Vanderbilt's arrivals at this port and
departures from II, are calculated to and from
sandy Hook the Persia's from the battery! The
course hence to Southampton is from 90 to Is
miles longer than that to Liverpool For this
difference in distance our accommodating navi-
gator lOps of seven hours, whereas four and IA
half would he very liberal estimate, IL the v
ever steamed mp 10 Southampton at all But she
does no such thing. Her English destination is
COwes, about eleven miles short of Southampton
nor is it even to Cowes that the ready reckoner
reels off his log. He stops short at the Needles,
some ten miles further yet to the westward, and
there, making up his claim for the championship
with precise accuracy, debts himself, in time
with the run from Sandy Hook to the Needles,
and takes credit in time, for the run from New
York to southampton, the last seven hours being
at the speed of nine miles an hour The process
is Ingenious but too fimsy to bear testingn
There is no doubt that the Vanderbilt is a very
fast vessel but her owners and the press should
lie content with reporting her passage fairly
For the present, the Persia retains the laurels
Drag is good dog, but HOldfa,t is better.

Niagara from blame. At the time of the accident
the Niagara had made $50 miles in direct course
from Valentia but $40 miles of the cable had been
paid out-or one hundred miles more than the
actual distance At this rate, the length of cable
manufactured e 500 miles) wOnld have proved
insufficient to reach Newfoundland This fact,
more than anything else, it is said, induced the
whole expedition to return to England.

ANOTHER REV. KALLOCH-The New Jersey
papers are showing up the Rev VIM B. Suther-
land, Of Trenton, who is guilty of seducing the
daughter (only fifteen years Of age) of member
Of his church. Sutherland made pretext to get
the girl to his house in the absence of his wife,
when he drew her into a chamber and there suc-
ceeded In overcoming her. Ii is very remarkable
that as the young victim of this mans deductions
was leaving the house, she encountered Suther-
lands wife, who was just at that moment return
ing home after an absence of some DAYS The
wife noticed the flushed and excited appearance
OF the girls eountenance, and asked the cause
why she had been crying, &c, to which evasive
answers were returned, and the outraged child
fastened home to the house of her parents. On
Thursday she related to her mother the particu.
iars of the shame that had been practised on her,
and the mother Immediately waited upon one Of
the deacons of Sutherland's church. and related
the circumstances, whereupon an investigation
was entered upon.
The father Of the child, on learning the story.
went In pursuit Of Sutherland. but he made his
escape and has rot since been heard of
This scandalOuS act of Sutherland is not the
first which has been laid at bis door during his
ministry in Burlington.
On the 2lst July, but little over month ago,
hired girl in his family, named Teresa Gilbert;
about twenty-three years of aye, made oath be
fore Alderman Brown, of that city, that he had
attempted to seduce her
These charges were investigated by the proper
oficers Of the church, but were dismissed as not
being entitled to credence

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Union calls attention to the resolutions
passed by the Black Republican State Conven-
ton of Ohio which nominated Gov. Chase of
Ohio, for reelection, as looking to continued
agitation and ultimate dissolution of the Union.
The Union also notices the fact that after all
the pretences of Black Republicanism in favor
OF negro equality nearly the whole party voted
against it on the occasion of the new constitu-
ton being submitted to the people of Iowa.
The Inteiiigencer has a graphic letter from
n correspondent on the steamer Niagara, who
says:
So AIS, IS a. VA. the machinery stopped. and the
IsIesTdph- cable parted This is the sententious
record In the log book on Tuesday, August 18th
Inc catastrophe was caused by injudiciously
checking the cable with the brake when II was
running out in nearly its deepest water; for the
"CyclopS,' not long after, made signal that she
had found bottom at two thousand fathoms. The
sad news was communicated in whispers, as at
some recent death-bed. Deep gloom came over
the ship. The thing had become our darling, and
now IL was dead and buried -
The Intelligsncer's correspondent thinks it is
quite clear that the success of the undertaking
hereafter must mainly depend upon having a
large excess of cable on board, so as to allow it
to be paid out at a much greater rate than the
ships progress through the water There is a
proposition 10 purchase whatever may be COM
pleted of new cable intended for the Mediter.
ranean, and to make another attempt in Octo-
Der. In that case, he considers the chances of
success more remote than ever
