NOVEL Horse RACE IN CALIFORNIA.-l50 MILES IN
Six Hours AND FORTY-FIvE MINUTES.-At the Union
race course, San Francisco, the other day, Jock
ney named Jack Powers won SIS 900 on a 'bet that
he could make $50 miles in eight consecutive hours
The race took place Sunday, and it was accom-
plished in six hours and forty-five minutes. lie
used twenty-tour horses (of the California Mustang
breed). The first sixty miles were done in two
hours and thirty minutes. Powers dismounted
seventy-twO times during the race. The furthegt
any one horse ridden at time was four miles,
and the least distance one mile. He ran at top
speed the whole distance.
On taking new horse, he would spring from the
saddle, few steps to str etch his legs and i'm
medately vault into the saddle of the animal which
awaited him. Attendants sometimes made the
rounds with him, rendering him drink, and receiv-
ing his orders. About the both mile little "she-
ndnt9dn was perpetrated for the benefit of those
behind the curtain. Powers, up to that time had
ridden without difficulty and sat in his saddle like
a monument. He now began to spit blood and was
taken with sudden weakness in the abdomen
which seemed to communicate itself to the legs.
Doubters now began to bet against Powers which
was all that desired, and considerable sums
were put up by those who considered the game as
over. The only blood vessel which was ruptured
was small sleeps bladder, which was filled with
the sangunary fluid. At the close of the race Pow
ers mounted the Judges stand and publicly offered
to bet five thousand dollars that he would ride
nifty miles in two hours; and that no other
man in California could perform the feat he had
just accomplished; and another, that he would
accomplish the $50 miles in five hours with English
or American stock, to which there was no response
The average time of the race is within fraction of
twenty-three miles hour. Powers does not
hesitate to say that he can make much better
time than the above. He is n spare built man, with
full, sunburnt face, heavy hair and whiskcrs and
keen eye. The party with whom Powers is asso-
ciated realize about $40 900 by the operation Pat
of the turf count this as the greatest race of
the kind on record.

from late resident of Philadelphia, who was vic
timized by the fellow, and who, in legal proceed
ings against him. came into possession of the whole
details of his infamy -
The arrival of our informant in this CITY is sup-
posed to have been the cause for the sudden depar-
ture of Mrs. Anna Cora's husband. As Anna is an
English woman, it is most probable that she was the
last acquisition previous to hurried departure for
the United States. Nearly four years having
elapsed since the flight from Charleston, Weekes on
his return from England boldly commenced his
swindling operations in Texas and New Orleans, un-
der his real name. A few weeks suiced in that re-
gion, and consequently, in January last, the pair
candestiney left the Crescent city and sailed Cali
forniawards.
Presuming on flush times in this latitude, Mrs.
Gamma Cora" was told to raise the tariff to SIS, a
cheerfully surrendered to the fair pirate by our
gallant citizens. Another chapter of this eventful
history has closed, and a new one will, doubtless,
be commenced in Australia. To the press of the
interior, which valliantly defended her against
the assaults Of several Of the San Francisco county
papers, no doubt Miss Anna Cora returns her sin
cere thanks. As she is half seas over, however, it
is impossible to say to what extent her gratitude
can be depended upon. 1t is sufficient to know that
while in that position land, she fully appreciated
all kindness rendered her, as shown by the columns
of the Athen@um.-AHa California.

SEIZURE OF A SLAYER AT NEW ORLEANS

From tie Ne,o Orleans Picayune, 23dl
An investigation took place last evening, before
Mr.. Lusher relative to the libel filed by Z. s. Dis
trlct Attorney Semmes, against the barque j. w.
Reed, which was seized on suspicion of having been
htted out for shaving voyage. The only witness
was Peter A. Foye, an Englishman who, on the Sd
inst, was employed by Capt. Sladden, of the barque
). W. Reed, as first officer He was to receive
hundred and fifty dollars for the run to St. Jago de
Cuba. The crew had previously been shipped but
were not on board. On the evening of the 4th in
slant, they went board, but were afterwards
taken on shore again, as the captain said he had
difficulty in getting away.
The crew were Spaniards and Italians or Portu-
guese. The bark bound to st. Jago, and
thence to the coast of Africa and the witness was
to be discharged at st. Jago. She to bring
groes from Africa, as the captain admitted. When
speaking OF the second mates berth, the captain
said that on such voyage the second mate received
more wages than the first. On the 4th inst, the
vessel was taken down to the Government wharf
and got ready for The captain, on several oc-
casions, admitted to witness that he was going to
Africa for neg roes, and that he would make money
If he could only land few hundreds
After the vessel was seized, the Captain enoined
secrecy on witness, telling him to keep what he
knew to himself, He also told him to answer to
the name of Henry Casey. Witness was arrested
and put in Jail, and was unwilling be bailed out
some attemptwoud be made to get him out of
the way. There was lumber on board for a slave
deck, and provisions In the cargo suitable for the
voyage to Africa. w. A. Flemming, who was in
the confidence of the Captain told witness that the
iron on board was to make shackes for the negroes
lie also pointed out man whom he said was the
real owner of the vessel and that, notwithstanding
his short jacket, he had plenty of money. He was
a short, stout, foreign-ooking man, apparently a
Spaniard. The witness was put through rigid
ross-examination by Mr.. Clack, who was employed
for the defence, and was then discharged at his own
request The testimony taken will be used at the
trial OF the case, which will take place before the
United States District Court on Tuesday next.
