HALIFAX, Sept 24th.-The ship Arabia ar.
rived here, and reports that, at seven o'clock on
the morning of the 18th, she fell in with an iron
screw steamer on fire. She was apparently. of
1900 tons, with gilt crown eagle head. The
| stern was straight and raked, and the bottom
painted red The upper works, above and be.
| low, were all consumed, the mast gone and her
sides falling in. Her funnel was lying on the
starboard side, but its color could not be ascer-
| taired. The Arabia passed around her stern,
but no name could be distinguished 1t is sup.
posed that she had been burning probably forty.
eight hours. The Arabia sighted brig four
miles to the leeward, but could not discover any
boat or signs of the sufferers in the distance The
figure head, as described, corresponds with that
on the steamer Austria, which was an Austrian
| eagle. There was but little doubt that the Aus.
| tria is the Inflated vessel
| 1t is feared that the steamer seen may prove
to be the Ariel. She had on board one hundred
and eighty-ive passengers, and over S1s7 900
specie. 1t is also feared that it may have been
the Austria, from Bremen Uia SOUTHAMPTON,
which sailed on the 4th, and is now several lays
over due. She has, it is supposed, over FIVE
hundred passengers on board. There is one
probability in favor of the safety of the crew and
passengers, which is strong one The burning
steamer had no person on board when seen by
the vessels, and as she was on the track of the
numerous lines of vessels running between this
country and Europe, the reasonable supposition
is that they were taken off by some eastward
bound vessel.

SERVED THEN RraHr.-A New York letter
writer has the following touching the efforts OF
certain ladies, or more properly females, to es-
tablish the practice Of female horse racing;
The day was appointed, crowds were out to
the race course, the women selected for the oc-
casion came late ontothe ground and the whole
ended in disgraceful failure. The veil was too
thin to disguise the character of the transaction
and those who participated in it. The " large
corpse of Police to preserve order" was not
present, according to promise. The track was
crowded with base men and lewd boys. They
whistled, made cat calls, swore, used obscene
jests, stood in crowds on the track, struck the
horses of the riders, langered the safety of the
women, and broke up in grand stampede
fit ending for such farce. Bold as some OF the
New FORK women are think they will not be
swift to try horse-racirg with the crowd again.

GROWTH OF New YoRK.-A New York CORES
pcndent of the Boston Journal says:

UKUWT UF NEW IOKK.-A NEW COTTeS-
pondent of the Boston Journal says:
The growth of the upper part of New York is
wonderful The removal of the arsenal up to
the upper part of New York, the location of the
Columbia College aboye Fiftieth street, and the
Central Park to begin with Sixtieth street, be-
tween the Fifth and Eighth Avenues, have given
surprising impetus to this portion of our city.
Lines of new free-stone and marble front houses
are in the process of erection. More than three
thousand first class houses are going up in this
part of our city and soon it will be the court
end of New York Some of the churches which
once were up to the extreme part of our city, but
now are found quite in the centre, are thinking
of fanother removal higher up still. The line of
elegant houses range from the Fourth Avenue
on the East, over to Eighth Avenue on the West,
thence onward to Harlem River

BrsT PLACE IN RAILROAD CARs.-We asked
an old railroad hand, few days since, what
place in a train was preferable all things consd-
cred. He replied, in the last car but one, two
seats forward of the middle of the car. This
car is less liable to be injured in of collision,
and less likely to be thrown off the track by OBJ
strnction than those in front, while the danger
of being run into, or being thrown off on short
curves, is not so great as on the rear car. The
seat forward of the middle of the tar is
preferable for its ease, as well as escaping much
of the bad air that is forced to the rear and as
in case of accident the forward ends of cars are
usually less injured than the rear, it is the safest
nlace

GOLD IN AFRIcA.-The Philadelphia Evening
Bulletin, in article on "a An African Exodus"
remarks.
There is one thing, however, which viii impel
such an exodus toward Africa as we have long
waited for and hoped to see. In Africa the rich
est gold deposites in the world await the miner.
We have been assured by gentleman whose
integrity we are willing to yonch for, and who
has been eighteen years in the Guinea trade,
that the amount of gold which abounds in some
places, and which is protected by superstitious
taboo and by :" fetish" notions from being gath
cred, is literally incredible. All that has been
found in California or Australia is as nothing,
compared to what will yet be gathered from the
obscure and burning regions of Africa. A thou
sand facts confirm our assertion; anecdotes and
hints In score of books old and new, as well
as geological proof tends to show that the gold
is there in immense quantities.

OPPOSITION TO DOUGLASS correspondent of
the st. Louis Republican, in speaking of the OPP
position to Douglas in Illinois, likens it to the
sea-birds dashing themselves against the stony
sides of lighthouse:
/" The little sea-birds, blinded by the storm,
On some tall lighthouse dash their little forms,
And the rude granite scatters for their pains
The small deposits that were meant for brains.
Yet the proud fabric, in the morning sun,
Stands all unconscious of the mischief done.
Still the rude beacon pours its evening rays
Over the lost traveller with as bright blaze
Nay, shines all radiance DER the scattered feet
OF gulls and boobies, brainess at its feet"
