NEW York, Sept. 2G.
A suit has been instituted in the U.
S, District Court for the Southern Dis
trict of New York, by the Messrs. Cush-
ing, of Newburyport, Mass, against
MIR. John Laird, Jr. of KeTkenhead,
England, for the loss sustained by them
by the burning of their ship Sonora, in
the Straits OF Malacca, in December,
1868, by the Alabama, which the appel
lants say was built and fitted out in d.
rect violation OF the laws of Great Bril-
tain, by Mr.. Laird. An attachment has
been issued against some funds owned
by Mr.. Laird, and supposed to be de-
posted in the u s. Sub-TreAsUry in
this city.
In the case OF The United States
against Commissioner Rollins, the
principal evidence was that of Mr.. An
derson, relative TO the seizure of a dis
tillery in Brooklyn, which went to show
that one of the defendants in the case
had released the distillery in question
on the payment OF a consideration. The
examination on this point was objected
to, but after long discussion was al
lowed. The examination was not pro-
ceeded with, and the court adjourned
till Monday.
John l.. Martin and Amos Morell
rowed five mile race on the Hudson a
day or two since, Martin winning in
325z minutes. a very large amount of
money changed hands.
It appears that the fire on board the
steamer Metila broke out in the hold,
seven days out of Boston, eight hours
before they fell in with the Jacob A.
StRmler. Owing to the nature of the
cargo, which consisted of cotton, tobac-
CO, &c., It resisted every effort made 10
subdue the flames, and it was supposed
to be smoulderiDg in the hold some
days before It burnt through the deck.
The Stamler remained by her p hours
and took off the crew and passengers
los in number, II OF whom she put on
the bark Mouequash, for Liverpool,
and 10 on the Runachee, for Greeock.
The Stamler arrived hero with the re-
mainder yesterday.
MIR. Binckley is still in the oity, and
Is Just as sanguine as ever that the
prosecution which he has begun against
one of the most gigantic frauds of the
nineteenth century will result in the
complete overthrow OF the whisky ring
and the punishment of many of the
most prominent members.
NEW YORK, September %.

The supply ofgood Hogs has been
barely sufficient for the demand, while
