The Philadelphia, from Cherbourg, and the Hibernia, from Liverpool, are now due, with two weeks’ later intelligence from all parts of Europe. ‘The News from Mexico, The news of the failure of the negotiations in Mexico, which we received by special express and published in yesterduy’s Herald, created con- siderable excitement throughout the city. San- guine expectations were entertained by almost all persons, that the Mexicans had at last come to their seoses—had seen the utter folly of con- testing with us, and would gladly make peace on the terms included in the treaty which Mr. Trist took with him, If the news published yesterday be true, the battles fought by our brave soldiers, and the nu- merous victories achieved by them are gainless, and the war must be recommenced on a new system, and prosecuted in the most vigorous manner. Some are disposed to doubt the correctness of the intelligence, because there is an apparent in- consistency in the statements that the Mexicans were willing to cede the Californias, but were op- posed determinedly to give an inch of territory on the other side of the Nueces. Viewed in their proper light, these statementare not incon- sistent with each other. It must be borne in mind that they consented to cede California fora stipulated price, fifteen or twenty millions of dol- lurs, the payment oy which would relieve them of the suspicion that they were forced into the transaction; but it must be recollected that it .is ostensibly to regain the strip of land on the Nueces that the war was commenced by them. By ceding that, they would abandon every- thing, and admit at once their utter helplessness. This their pride will not allow them to do, and their retusal todo so is in perfect consonance with ther character. The State Debt...The Financial Position of each State, Since the resumption of the payment of inter- est on the debt of Pennsylvania, and the perfec- tion of the arrangements made by the States of Maryland, Michigan, Illinois, and Indiana, for the payment of interest on their debts, there has not been so much feeling exhibited towards the repudiating States as heretofore, or so much said on this side of the Atlantic as in times past. The organs of English capitalists in London frequently growl and grumble about what they, in their gross ignorance, call repudiation; but as that has very little influence or effect in this country, we can afford them this innocent amuse- ment, particularly as it appears to be so exceed- ingly gratifying to them. Repudiation, and the Mexican war, furnish materials for the London press, and for all those who are similarly partial to our institutions, for any attack they may at any time wish to make upon us. It is fortunate for them they have something to vent their spleen upon, when they are irritated and annoyed at the rapid progress we are making in the three great elements of wealth and power; agriculture, man- ufactures, and commerce. We are well aware that the aristocracy of Europe generally, and of England particularly, have the most bitter hatred of this country ; and we also know as well, that they fear us; the former is the result of the lat- ter, and both will grow stronger as we increase in prosperity and power. It is not surprising that these feelings should be entertained by the principal powers of Europe— by the aristocracy and capitalists of the old world; we can understand perfectly well why they look upon our advancement with fear and trembling. They have become pretty well satis- fied that this republic is a “‘ fixed fact ;” that it is no longer an experiment which they anticipated would fail, and forever after deter others from attempting a similar political movement. They not only see that the Union still continues, but they see it becoming consolidated and increas- ing. They see the area of freedom extending north, south, east, and west; from the Atlantic tothe Pacific ; fromthe St. Lawrence to the Isth- mus of Panama. They fear, and well they may, the influence of such a great and glorious country upon the monarchical institutions of their own, and every effort is made to prevent the promulga- tion of such principles as we profess, within their own limits. All these efforts will be fruitless- They might as well attempt to stay the wind asto place boundarieg upon the extension of the area of freedom. When the cause of the bitter hate the leading powers and higher classes of Europe bear us is so plainly to be seen, it becomes a matter of joy and pride with us that it exists, asitis the best evidence -that we are rapidly reaching that position for which the leaders of the revolution sacrificed everything but their sacred honor. We have been led astray from the subject we had in view at the commencement of this arti- ele, and must resume it before our space is occu- pied. The debts of our States have ever been a matter of great solicitude to our citizens gene- rally, and every effort has been made to make the financial condition of each.as sound and healthy as possible. Several of the States hav- ing large debts, have met all their engagements promptly; others having involved themselves deeper than theirresources would permit, have become delinquent in the payment of interest, while two or three have adopted the dishonora- ble, disgraceful method of paying their debte, interest and all, by rank repudiation, which is nothing more or less than swindling, lege! swindling. This stain will stick to these States long after they have acknowledged and paid every fraction of these debts. We believe tnat every cent of them will eventually be paid, prin- cipal and interest, for they will feel the infamy of repudiation grow stronger and stronger, until t becomes unsupportable. There are four repudiating States in the Union, Mississippi, Florida, Michigan and Arkansas. There are also four delinquent States, Mary- land, Louisiana, Indiana and [llinois. The re- pudiating States are also delinquents, as they re- pudsate part of their debts and are delinquents onthe balance. Neither of the four delinquent States above named have repudiated a fraction of their debts. They have all made arrange- ments for a speedy resumption of interest. We annex a few remarks showing the present posi- tion of each State having large debts. NEW york. The debt of this State at the close of the last fiscal year, September 80, 1846, was $24,734,080; the revenue for the year $2,842,514, and the expenditures, $2,015,004, leaving a surplus of $827,510. The public works of this State have been very productive this year compared with last. The net revenue from,tolls in ,1846, was 92,156,496 75; for 1847, $8,870,004 82, increase $714,408 07, equal to thirty-three per cent. The whole surplus for the fisgal year, applica- ble to thepublic works, is $1,020,904 82. ; The sum of $361,000 of this surplus was go appropriated by inws of the last session, leavingan excess of $659,000, which may be appropriated at the pre- sent session. Of the net revenue from tolls, $1,650,000 must be applied to the sinking fund providing for the extinguishment of the public debt, according to the new constitution. * PENNSYLVANIA. The debt of this State at the close of the last fiscal year, November 30, 1846, was $40,789,877; the revenue for the year, $3,529,067, and the expenditures $3,524,264, leaving a balance of oaly $4,798. The net revenue from tolls on the public works of the State, in 1845, was $498,249, and in 1846, $580,522. It ie estimated that the net income fromthe canals tor the fiscal year en¥- ing November 30,1847, will be $1,000,000, show- ing anincrease of about $400,000 on last year. The tolls from D~cember 1, 1846, to September 1, 1847, were $1,211,873, against $847,202 for the corresponding period the previous yeur, showing an increase in the gross receipts for nine months in 1847, of $864,171. This addition to the reve- nue of the State, will plac: the treasury in a very prosperous condition, and put the/payment of the interest on the debt beyond a contingency. It is estimated that there will be in the hands of the State Treasurer, on the lst of February, 1848, the day when the next semi-annual interest be- comes due, a surplus over and above that pay- ment of full half a million of dollars. MARLAND. The debt of this State, at the close of the last fiscal year, December 1, 1846, was $15,- 038,080, the revenue for the year $917,752, and the expenditures $878,821, leaving a balance of $43,981. This State is among the delin- quents, and the expenditures of course do not include any payments of interest. A resumption of the payment of interest tukes place on the Ist of January, 1848. There will be funds enough in the hands of the State Treasurer at ‘that time to meet the payment then due, and there is no doubt but that thenceforth the payments will be made promptly and in full. The resumption bill passed at the last ion of the legislature, provided that the receipt of coupons in payment of taxes should cease on and after the Ist of Oc- tober, 1847, (next month); that all the arrearages of interest then outstanding shouldbe funded in a six percent stock; that the quarter’s interest on the State debt proper, due on the Ist of Janu- ary, 1848, should be paid on that day in cash; and that the interest on the funded arrearages should be paid out of whatever surplus should remain in the treasury, after the interest on the debt proper should be discharged. The receipts into the treasury of this State during the thst year have greatly exceeded the estimates made before the resumption bill be- came a law, as extravagant as those estimates ap peared at the time. An annual surplus of more than one hundred thousand dollars, after paying the interest on the State debt proper, the inte- rest on the funded arrearages and all the current expenses of the State is anticipated, which will be applied.to the redemption of the funded arrear- ages, and after, to the reduction of the debt. OHIO. The debt of this State at the close of the last fiscal year—Nov. 15, 1846—was $19,246,- 002, the revenue for the year $2,081,384, and the expenditures $2,038,027, leaving a balance of $43,857. The income of the canals is included in this revenue. The revenue of the canals is especially appropriated to the payment of the an- nual interest on the foreign debt, to which is added the State mill tax on all real estate. In 1846 the net income from tolls on the canals was $390,886, against $466,590 the preceding year. The receipts and expenditures for three quarters of the present fiscal year, ending Aug 15, 1847, and the estimates for the last quarter, were as follow :— 1,202,376 08 Canal tolls collected. eee + 658,494 56 Taxes Bee Te ae ean Se cee» 17 854 12 Turnpike canal dividends......... 22,974 94 5 per cent. interest on surplus revenue Amount paid into the treesury for the three q ra.

The State tax this year is 23 mills; last year it was8 mills. INDIANA. At the close of the last fiscal year, Ucto- ber 31, 1846, the debt of this State was $13,100,000, the revenue for the year $293,861, and the expenditures $69,136, leaving a balance of $224,725. A portion of the revenue of Indi- ana has for many years past been paid in State scrip, treasury notes, and such stuff, which the State issued in previous years in making its own payments; the surplus revenue exhibited above was compesed ot these obligations, which were cancelled upon receipt. The State has yet a floating debt of this kind, which will be receiv- ed for payments due the State until the whole is liquidated. This State has recently made an ar- rangement with its creditors, by which a partial resumption of the payment of interest has been made. It must be admitted by all, that the termsof the compromise are very ambiguous, aad difficult of comprehension. About half a dozen different kinds of stocks have been issued, and the whole matter remains in a very confused condition The substance of the compromise is as follows, The original funded debt of the State is equally divided; one-half is surrendered to the State, for which the creditors take canal bonds, depend- ing upon that work for interest, and releasing the Siate from all responsibility, both for princi- pal and interest; the other half is provided for by the State, and new bonds are issued bearing interest atthe rate of four per cent per annum, leaving one per cent to be funded atthe end of six years. The whole ef the interest in arrears, up to July 1, 1847, and the one per cent on the State bonds, and five per cent on the canal bonds, up to July 1, 1858, wil] at that time be funded, and an annual interest of two anda half per cent paid upon it. This arrangement places the finances of the State in a much better position than they were; but we are informed that a much better arrangement might have been made, and a much clearer exposition of it given to the credi- tors. The most objectionable part of the com- promise is, the payment of only two anda half per cent interest on the funded arrears of inter- est, after 1858, The surrender of half of the amount of each bond to the State, by which the responsibility of the State is given up, is not compulsatory, and is not, therefore, repudiation. The creditors of the State can, if they please, preserve their bond they now stand, and claim the accumulation of interest, but they do not ‘receive, the benefits of the cash payments semi-annually made upon the part, the interest on which the State has resumed the payment of. It is our impression that ultimately the full inte- rest will be paid upon the funded arrears. ILLINOIB. The debt of this State has never been sa- tisfactorily ascertained. It is estimated to be about $14,000,000, of which $6,000,000 is the canal debt, and $8,000,000 the internal improve- ment debt. The latter is now in the process of being funded or registered, and the arrears of interest up to July 1, 1847, placed in vonds bear- ing interest after 1867, at the rate of six per eent per annum. The canal scrip issued to contractors for work done on the canal in its earliest stages, is being placed in canal bonds and added to the canal debt. When all these operations are closed, we shall be able to tell what the actual indebtedness of the State is. The tax of one and a half mills on the State valuation of property taxable, yields sufficient to pay about one and a half per cent per annum onthe whole debt, but the constitutional con- vention recently held in Illinois have attached an article to the constitution, authorising a tax of two mills on every dollar’s worth of real estate in the State, for the payment of the principal of the intern | improvement debt, leaving the canal debt to be provided for, both principal and interest, by the canaland canal lands. For this distinction between these debts, the canal bondholders may thank themselves, and such friendaas Lord Pal- merston and the London Times They will see by this that it is useless to attempt to intimidate us, or acouse us of repudiation in cases where we do not acknowledge it ourselves. We are not buckward in casting censure where it belongs, and if English politicians and the English pre imagine they can bring about a more speedy re- sumption by such abuse than would otherwise tuke place, such movements as that made in the Illinois convention will teach them better. A poll tax of one dollar per head has been pro- vided Jor by the new constitution, for the pay- ment of interest «» the ‘internal improvement debt. This tax will give a revenue of about one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollare per annum, which, with the tax now levied for the payment of interest on the whole debt, will give an income of nearly three hundred thousand dollars, ($300,000,) sufficient to pay the one and a-half per cent on the canal bonds, and three and a-half on the internal improvement bonds. The Illinois and Michigan canal will be inac- tive operation next year, and the State will then, for the first time, realize some revenue from its publicworks. The canal and State lands, will then be in more active demand, and command better prices. The proceeds of these sales will form the nucleus of a sinking fund for the liquidation of the State debt, which it will ultimately accom- plish. From present appearances, we should judge that this State will be able, in less than five years, to pay the full interest on its debt promptly. MICHIGAN, MISSISSIPPI, ETC. The debt of this State, at the close of the last fiscal year, January 1, 1847, was $2,842,- 661 ; the revenue for the year, $227,607, and the expenditures, $165,125, leaving a balance of $62,, 571. There was a balance, at that time, due on the sale of the Central and Southern railroad of $855,510, which, deducted from the public debt, would reduce it to $1,987,141. The total amount of internal improvement debt discharged by pay- ments gn the sale of the Central railroad, is $1,- 634,489 78. This State will probably wheel into the rank of solvents in the course of another year, and the interest on her acknowledged debt ever after, will be promptly paid. She will not, how- ever, get rid of the odium of repudidiation until, the interest on her whole debt is promptly and fully paid. .That will eventually be done, and the credit of Michigan will stand as high as any other in the Union. Mississippi, Arkansas and Florida, are at pre- sent in a hopeless condition. Something may turn up one of these days, that will place their affairs in a more favorable position. So far as we can arrive at a result, from the imperfect data furnished by many States, it ap- pears that the total indebtedness of the Stater, amounts to $207,241,798 ; the aggregate revenue for the year 1846, $14,980,558 ; andthe aggregate expenditures, $12,640,520; showing an excess of revenue of $2,340,033. We give this as the most accurate statement that we can make out, but wish it to be understood that it 1s not entire- ly correct. Mrurma Parapes on Monpay—All persone liable, can commute by paying, to-day, or Mon- day, to the Receiver of Taxes, seventy-five cents. No commutations will be received after Monday. No other notice than that published in this paper will be given. of 1200 tons burthen, will be launched from Mr. W. H.Webb’s yard, at the foot ef Houston street, this afternoon, at 34 o’clock. She is designed for a packet in Messrs Grinnell & Minturn’s Londonline. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tueatae.—The performances at the Park last evening were for the benefit of Mrs Mowatt, the talented authoress, and sctress, The new play of Armand was performed for the fifth time, and was received by « large and fashionable audience, in a manner which furnished indubitable proof of the excellence of the play and the manner of ite performance. During the representation of the touching scenes of this most beautiful play, we observed more than one countenance which told plainly that the better part of human nature was affectingly addressed. Not only fair cheeks were made the tho- roughfares over which tears coursed, but manly and fur- rowed faces were observed to be moistened, and required the frequent applicationof cambric. The play, now that ‘all the cast are familiar with their parts, tells far better than it did when it was first brought out, and we only regret that another week is not allowed for it to stamp itself more indelibly upon the memory of the Park audiences. But enough has been seen of it togive to it thestamp of approval, and the fair suthoress will Jeave us with well founded hopes, that her success in England will be such as to repay her for the sacrifices which she makes in leaving her own country to seek the reward of her arduous labors on the other side of the Atlantic. The comedy of the ‘‘ Honey Moon” was the last entertainment on the bill for last evening. Mrs Mowatt and Mr. Davenport remain at the Park one night more, and Armand will be presented again this evening Bowery Tueatar.- It is almost unnecessary to re- mind our readers that the new piece, ‘The Siege of Monterey; or, The Triumphs of Rough and Ready,” will be repeated this evening, for judging by the large houses which have attended its representation thus far, it would be madness on the part of the manager to withdraw itat present. The oftener it is seen the more it is admired, arid at every successive repetition of it, hundreds of per- sons cannot procure admittanee. When this piece is withdrawn, the patrons of the Bowery have another great treat before them, in the same line, and based on the same subject as the “Siege of Monterey” is. Although the public know that what they see is purely dramatic spectable, in which the,heroes on both sides are person- ated by Americans, it isamusing to witness the applause with which each American military character is receiv od, and the comparative silence that marks the entry of the Mexicans on the stage, elthough it must be acknow- ledged the parts are well done. This is only natural, but it proves the success of the manager in presenting to his audience the events of the war with Mexico #0 Graphically asto make his spectators believe that the Teal, instead of the mock heroes are before them. Cuatuam Tueatae.—Three excellent and much ad- mired pieces are presented by the manager of the Chat- ham for the amusement of his patrons, this evening They consist of the new drama in three acts, the “Lone- ly Man of the Ocan, or the Night before the Bridal,’ the “Barrack Room” and “Sam Swipes, or tho Upper and Lower Ten Thousand.” The first named piece we would have thought sufficient to fill the house, as it has done every night since its representation, but Mr. Fletcher ts not content with that, although it'ls decidedly a ve excellent and deserving pivoe, but he must add two m pieces, to prove, if proof were , that his con- to the extent of his power, all tion than itis at nt. If the manager but perse- bes marked out and in which he ‘ali that he hopes’ for. a a ee accomplishing . now is ‘a favorite resort, and will doubtless continue such, Last Penvormancr oy THE Raveve at Paimo’s.—The soirée Madiew of these talented acrobats, took place Iget evening, before the most crowded house of the season, nevertheless, more then e thousand persons wore refused admission. Every member of the audi- ence, there present, seemed quite sorry to be obliged to bid farewell to Gabriel Ravel, Antoine, Jerome, and all others of the family. We think also, that the epplause ‘was warmer than any time before, and that the per- formers rivalised with fan, merriment and talent to re, turn their thaoks to the American public for the kind always bestowed upon them. The English farce of ‘My Neighbor’s Wife,” was acted with a great deal of enthusiasm and histrionic accuracy byMiseClarke and Messrs. Wolcott, Sefton and Placide. The two pantomimes of “Harvest Home” and “Godenski,” showed us Gabriel sud his relations, eoviert their best tricks, their funniest farces, and cir moat elegant exercises. Madame Leon Javelli and Mr. H Wells danced also most beautifully that ‘ Polka des Satons.”’ which is certainly the pretti- est among all them; it was encored We cannot ex- press ourselves on the subject of M. Maroetti; his mastic exercises are indeed incom naible. —< understand ho: that troupe. The evening's formance concluded with the “ ‘eauz Vivans,’’ representing the death of Abel, It "was a nd representation, and al- though we prefer Doctor Collyer’s we find the Ravels very accurate and excellent in their style. The curtain went down upon their last scene, she audience were about to retire, when Mr. Jobn accurate that Sefton appeared and said. in a v the Ravel family. at the general id. of numer- ous frieuds of Mr. Burke, had kindly volunteered their services for the benefit of that geatleman. Mr. Gabriel Ravel, though very sorry to return upon his card given yesterday in our peper, could not (heartily) do of '- ‘wise but consent to such’ a generous deed, We are glad to make known that these talented French artiste will ond their career in the United States by an act of benev- olence. It is, then, well understood. that to-night is posi- tively the last performance of the Ravels. Cinovs, Bowery Amrnitupatas.—Thisestablishment is bound to do s good business, ‘as they say in the Bow- ery. There is quite a gathering of‘stars’’ at it, and whatever may be said to the contrary, the star system here works to admiration ; but the seoret is that Mr. on’s performers are all stars. He has John Gossin, Felix Carlo, the Holland Family, W. Donaldson—all stare in the merry-msking line, and an equally efficient company of equestrians. @ great mock heroic piece of “Sante Avna’s Retreat,” is postponed until mext week in consequence of the extensive Cg omg ey ne- ovssary to give it proper effect, and by the way the Mex- foan news comes in oa us, we no doubt that before Monday evening next, when it will be produced, an ad- ditional scene of not only Santa Anna’s, but ali his Gen erals retreats can be truthfally auded. Meantime this evening Signor Felix Carlo and the Holland Family, ap- pearin their amusing extravaganzas ; and Joho G: will perform the clown to all the principal acts of horse- manship There is also an extra performance this after- noon for the accommodation of families. Cuniuty’s Minstaecs at tHe Mecnanics’ Hatt.— The season for negro melodies and coneerts has returned, and with it has come Christy’s Minstrels, who take up their old quarters at 472 Broadway, where they have achieved so many triumphs. For five years they have been performing throughout the Union, and have at- tracted the most enthusiastic and overflowing houses On thelr last visit here they performed four months successively, and their audiences on the lest evening were as brilliant and large as onthe first. The really scientific manner in which they execute their various songs and dances is most pleasing, and the great variety they give in one evening’s performance is to please No less than twenty-four distinct songs and pieces are given, including # burlesque lecture on magnetism, and « burlesque on the well known Swiss Bell Ringers. Without wishing to appear invidious, we have no doubt that this company is one of the very best now in the Union; each member of it is perfect in his department, and from the excellent management of the house and the Ae ped reservation of seats for the accommodation ol es and children, nothing is wanting to make an evening p: ‘with them one of pleasure indeed. Ermuioriax Senenapens at Pauao’s.—Every body re- collects these attractive darkies; every body knows how they used to draw the greatest houses, and give the greatest scientific negro music, from New Orleans to Quebec, some two years ago; and, again, every one knows how they left us to display their talents in Eng- land; and how they succeeded there, every steamer that has come across, for two years past, has brought the news. The fact is, no band of minstrels were ever #0 patronized in London, and all partsof England, Scotland and Ireland, as they have been. Royalty itself did not disdain to commend their performances; the nobility all sought them for their private parties; lithographs of them, in their various performances, flooded the land Pell, with bis bones, was apostrophized by poets; and, in fact, their whole career was one of unbounded success. and one of the most convincing proofs of this was the hort of imitators that sprung up, all where in the streets. England, per . Their songs became for a time was thought of jader Dumbolton’s man- Well, after this féting and feasting, they have returned to us as fresh as ever, and we bave no doubt that the public will find that they have not de- preciated.in their artistic value since their departure On Monday evening next they commence their first week's performances at Palmo’s theatre. Stowor Buitz at THe Soctety Linnany.—Amidst the perfect avalanche of amusements with which New York has been overwhelrfied, the little Signor has been ‘pa- tronized with full audiences for two weeks in succession, which shows conclusively how high a rank he takes among the various artists of the day. To-day and this evening, he will conclude his present visit tous. He will to-day give an afternoon exhibition at 3 P. M. which affords a fine chance fur families whose younger and more delicate members object to being out in the night air. He will also give his usual evening per- formance at 7}; P.M. On this, bis leet day, he will in- troduce some of his most wonderful feats. Da, Couiver’s Living Statvaky at THE AroLto Rooms.—This exhibition continues nightly at the above mentioned rooms in Broadway, and frem the appearance of the sudiences nightly, we have no doubt will long continue attractive. It is decidedly the most un.que exhibition going. Gornic Hart, Brooxtyn.—This evening the last ex hibition of Winter’s Chemical Diorama takes place ‘Those who have not, as yet, seen them, had better visit the above rooms to-night, and we assure them they will be well entertained. Collins was to appear in Philadelphia on Thursday night in two plays. The ‘Soldier of Fortune” and the “Wife Hunter’? He is as great favorite in Philadel- pbia as he was here.

Mr. Laird, her trainer, hus several very fine fillies with him, and, no doubt, they will all make their appearance in their proper spheres.

Sandford on the defendant. and ac- opted for the latter by his son. The following defence was set up. Sandford was formerly a resident of Minden, county of Monroe, in this Stace. of which place the de: fendant is also » resident ; that Sandford for some years Cae 1846, carried on business at Southnort, in isconsin territory, and in Sept 1846, met the defun- dant’s son James L. Palmer, at Rochester, they there entered into @ partial arrangement to form a partner- ship. Young Palmer undertaking that defrndant would ve hima $2000 for hie share of the capital; but it did not istinctly appear whether the partnership was ever formed or not; st all events, the defendant gave his drafts for the $2000, one of which was the draft in suit. Sandford afterwards it to the ane in July, 1846, which was two months previous to the messing of himself and young Palmer at Rochester. The de- fendant’s counsel contended that the bill was misapplied aud that therefore the action could not be maintained; there was noevidence that the partnership was consum- mated or carried out. and it was evident, from the nature ofthe case, that the defendant intended that his draft should be applied to partnership purposes. and not to the payment of the old debts of Sandiord. The dy however, found a verdict for the plaintiff for $508. For plaintiff, Mr. H. F. Clark and Mr. Goodwin. For defendant, Mr. E. F. Sandford. Common Pu.

The attendance at the Centreville was very good, es- pecially when we consider the unfavorable appearance ofthe morning; and the track was in tolerable order— much better than we expected to have found it, although rather heavy for raordinary time—still, from the previous astonishing performances of the nags about to contend, something worthy of record was anticipated by the friends of both; but the result will show that they were sumewhat disappointed. The betting previous to the start ranged at about ten to seven on Lady Suffolk, and @ large quantity of money was ered on the result at that rate. After the first heat, however, » change oame over the spirit of the floanciers, and one hundred to forty was shaken with impunity in the faces of the feiends of the mare; but they were too wary to be caught with such a tempting bait, and suffered it to pass with- out @ nibble.
