JUDICIARY.

TIE -Four MILE AT THE FASHION Course.
- The New York Courier and Enquirer,
Of the 18th nit, thus notices the four
mile race at the Fashion Course on the
previous day:
1t is said that no more exciting strug-
gle has taken place since the race on
tie same field between Fashion and
Peytona. The horses entered were Size
Washington and Tar Rirer, fromhf aViiFgini-
ia, and Nicholas l., owned by Mr.. John
Hunter Of New York. They were all
five years old. Nicholas and Sue Wash
ington were fine favorites, the odds "a
mong the quiet ones being rather in IA
vor Of Nicholas.
The first heat was won by Tar River
in 7 minutes and 49f seconds. III the
second heat the mare Sue Washington
overwhelmingly pulled up by her RI
der at the end Of the third mile, under
the mistake that the heat was finished.
The poor lad made deperate efforts to
recover position, but the mare lost her
distance by ten yards,
"llliS accident LETT the contest between
Tar River and Nicholas. The betting
was nearly even at the beginning Of
the second heat, which was contested
throughout in a most gallant manner
At no time was there more than three
lengths between the animals. But not
all the speed and courage of Tar River,
nor the unequalled skill of the rider,
the famous Fitzpatrick, could prevail
against the. star Of Nicholas The
steeds came laundering down the last
mile, in precisely the relative positions
in which they began, and contested the
heat. Nicholas winning by a single
length. The time of the heat was 7
minutes and 35 seconds, the best ever
made on this course, except by Fashion
in her contest with Boston. The third
heat was a worthy successor to the
second, though the time was not quite
SO good. It was won by Nicholas by
two lengths in'7 minutes & so seconds.
All the incidents Of the day were pleas
ant except to those who lost their mon
ey by the defeat of their favorites.

Gss~ Our planters are still be favored
with fine weather. Most of the cotton crop
is now safe. Nearly all our sugar plant
ers are now rolling; and from information
obtained from the best sources, we learn
that, 50 far, the yield of the cane is as fol
lows: the r%attoon, from 900 to 1000 lbs.
and the plant, from 1900 to>l500 lbs.
per arpent. The cane is generally fine,
and as the season advances will of
course yield more.

HORNE AGAINST HoPE.-The Philadel

phia Press says: r5
Acurious circumstance connected with
the unhappy losses which all so greatly
feel and deplore, is the ''hoping against
hope" which some Of the surviving re-
latives entertain. The wife of Mr.. The
odore Gerok Of Baltimore, is now visit
ing her relatives in Philadelphia, and
while they have no doubt Of his loss,
she alone has a deep conviction that he
is not dead; either he was not on board
the Austria, Though he wrote to her
that ne had actually paid for his pass
age) OF, if he was, he must have been
among the few that were rescued. It.
may be within the knowledge of many
Of our readers that a clergyman Of this
city was among those who left FOR Eu-
rope IN the Inflated President, and was
never again heard Of. His wife, who
remained in Philadelphia, and was deep
y attached to him, never deed, because
she never would, believe that he was
lost to her. Eighteen years have pass
ed away, AMI yet, that trusting lady
we cannot speak IF her as wife, and she
the name of widow-conti-l
to expect his return. Every day q.
cover is placed for him at the table
still stands his accustomed chair.
Every ring at the bell, we are informed,
awakens the cherished conviction Of her
laart hat the loved one viii return.
