Rope.
NY one considering the advantages OF IRON
over Rope as q material for binding cotton bales
IN will be surprised that it has not been adopted
long since In its security against fire there is an
overwhelming reason Tor its adoption.
The Presses in the Seaport Cities have been the
main causeof its rot being generally adopted Daff
now that objection is removed generally, and the
Orleans Press, the largest in O., give it the pre-.
ference over rope. Tile Fassmann Iron Hoop and
Tie is the improvement Of one Of the proprieters
and is opted from tie fact, that it is found after
Hong experiment., to combine the greatest merits in
simplicity and facility of application Of any one
vet made. It's so prepared as to require change
for accomplishing. Thus obyia.ing the only re-
maining difficulty at the sea board cities.
The hoops are sent ofany length from eight TO
ten feet and full guarantee given thatneither the
Ties nor Hoops shall break. And further, that all
cotton bound in them shall be received on the same
terms at the Orleans Press as rope bound cotto'

THE TURF.
RACES AND MATCHES TO COME.
FLORA TEMPLE MATCHED AGAIN.
&C., &C., &C.

Sporting men were surprised yesterday by the an
nouucement that another horse had already been
found to contend with Flora Temple, after her
victory over Ethan Allen in the astounding time OF
2:25 TO wagons. Two matcheswe made on Tuesday
evening between Flora and the mare Princess, 10th
to wagons, three miles and repcat the other two
miles and repeat The time for these interesting con-
tests has not been fixed upon, but is to be determined
to-day.
fincess was formerly owned in Chicago, where she
was KEEP for the purpose of breeding, and had two
colts She was subsequently sold and taken to Cali
forna, where she was quite successful. Her original
name was Topsy. She has won good deal Of money
on the track at Ncw-Oreans. Great confidence is
felt in the sagaeity of her owner, and it is thought
that he would not match her without knowing pre-
cisely what she could do. On this account people are
afraid at present to risk money even on Flora
Temple against her.
There was good deal of exutaton yesterday over
the Vermont men at the defeat OF Ethan Allen the
day previous. 1t said that they now obliged
to leave of their money here, even against their
will. When Ethan and Flora were first brought up
in front Of the Judges stand it was observed that
Hiram Woodruff, the driver Of Ethan, and in whose
hands Flora first won her renown-took of his cap
and made low, polite bow, to the mare Hiram
was spoken to about this yesterday and he replied:
ayes, did il, because made up my mind years ago
"that she was the Mistress of the World He has
had no occasion yet to change that opinion.
The handicap advertised for yesterday on the
Eclipse Course was postponed on account Of the
weather to Friday next, at O'Clock. We are assured
by Mr. Purdy that seven horses arc sure to start,
amopg them the imported English fly Flee'ing Mo-
ments. On the same Day two other races take
place on this Course in one Of them the famous Viz
ginia horses Two Bits and Glenoona, and the Ten
nessee horse Bill Cheatham to run. The jockeys
will all be dressed in whte-topped boots and breeches
after the English fashion.
The accommodations for visitors are ample aud
very convenient. Previous experience jusifes Us in
cautioning the public against buying tiskets Of the
Long Island Railroad Company, to go and return,
without some more responsible guaranty than that Of
the Company that they will not be compelled to walk
back.

Destruction OF JERSEY CRY FERRY-BoAI By
F1RE.-About 81 O'Clock Wednesday morning dense
smoke was discovered issuing from the Jersey City
ferry-boat John s. Darcy which had been laid up at
81 O'Clock on Tuesday night in the sip leading from the
railroad depot The flames soon burst out and spread
rapidly over the boat. The alarm was given, and the
jersey City Fire Department were soon on the
ground and worked msnfully 20 subdue the flames.
The fire. however extended TO the ferry-shp on both
sides and from thence the whole end Of the railroad

TALK ON 'oHANGE.

There was not much general talk on Carondelet
street yesterday Several Of those who have been
operating largely on the Bear side have Withdrawn
from the daily congregations, being engaged in
winding up the seasons movements preparatory to
their departure for the hyperborean regions. The
most important talk was of the nature OF some pr.
vate dispatches received from Halifax, being the
sequel Of the intelligence brought BY the Arabia.
From what could be gathered yesterday there must
have been some alarm in England at the date Of the
departure Of the Arabia in regard to the position Of
affairs on the continent We did not learn that there
were any holders of stocks and bonds desrons OF SELL
ing yesterday unless they obtained the full selling
prices, nor did we learn Of any large dealers in ex-
change obtaining bills at 7sct less than before
the war accounts came to hand. We have something
nearer home to attract our attention and to talk
about. The Mississippi river appears inclined to
create general war on the low lands. The crevasse
at the Picou plantation was not checked yesterday.
The water had not reached the railroad last evening,
and perhaps may not for some days. The water from
this crevasse will not reach the city therefore, there
is no cause for alarm.
1t is supposed to be well known that the mails via
both routes failed yesterday. We have not heard of
regular mail via the Mobile route for weeks, yea,
for months. The next intelligence from Liverpool
will probably be by the City Of Washington Of the
18th April, due at New York about Tuesday next
