In my last comsnunieation to you, I advised you of the glooniy aspect of poiitical affairs in ‘this city, and of the hostile attitude of Traconis and Garza, the (wo chiefs con- tending for the control of the garrison hore. Things continned fp the same unsettled stato until within afew days ago, when Traconis yielded to orflers from the supreme government, and yesterday he embark. ed bis troops in cances and bangos for Puevlo Viejo.

Aud thus the last hold of the Santa Apna faction has relinquished its grasp in this State, and none of H. M.S.

They must also go, for thelr deeds are well kuown to Cnrza, who will not nok them guiltless. The roads to the interior markets are now open, and goods are moving in that direction as faat as the moans of coureyanee can be obtained. The prospect of « good winter's business ia now rather cheering, and the met- chants begin to feel a little more satisfied with their large stock of goods, which have been staring them ia the face for a length of time, as so much dead capital.

Steamer Seminole nits [Prom the Jacksonville (Fla.) News, Deo. 22.) We regret to have to state that this splendit steamer took fire whilst lying at her wharfin this town, about halt-pact eleven o’clock last Thursday night, and in tea minutes after the first alarm was given the entire boat wae envelo im flames. Indeed, so sudden waa the alarm, that the crew and rs barely escaped with their fives, A large portion of the of the re wan consumed, together with al mails on board, from ints on the river above this place.

Flora is end again by Belle of Saratoga, A nuwher of new trotting horses made thelr appearance during the latter part of the season, among which we may enumerate Jake Oak- Jey, Brown Dick, Buz, &¢., &¢, Many of these horses are matched for the mext season, and we shall then have an opportunity of seeing what they can do. Busis matohed cgainst Lantern for $10,000-—-the raeo to @ome off in May; Brown Dick and Rocket have alse an engagement in June for $6,000. In fact, next season promises to be more interosting than the last. ‘The year has been distinguished by a remarkadly fast pacing match, the quickat on record. The race was be. tween Pocahontas snd Hero, mile heats to wagons, Only ome heat took place, Pocahontas performing the mile in 2:17}¢—-Hero distanced. No new pacers of any note have made their appearance during the year. One, howerer, hailing from Hudson, was matched against Hero. His country friends were very sanguine, and It was whispered that he had paceda mile in private in 2:12. However that might have been, he certainly did not come up tothe expectations ofhis friends, and was badly beaten by Hero, in 2:29, In running, we have very Itttle to speak of, #0 far as this vicinity is concerned; but the usual amount bas taken in the South and Southwest, and some capital time has boen made ; in fact, the very best ever made in that part of the country. The great match of Lexington against time—te run four miles under 7:2¢—the time made by Lecomte when he beat Lexington the year pre- vious—was accomplished in 7:193{ over the Metairie Course, New Orleans. The Metairie Course 1s somewhat Jess than e mile, the distance being computed from the centre of the course ; and horses usually run as close to the pole as they possibljcan. Lexington in that race carr'ed one hundred and three pounds—some twenty odd pounds less weight tham was carried by his renowned tire, Boston, in bis celebrated race with Fashion, in 1842. Ina subsequent race over the Metairie sourse, Lexington beat Lecomte in less than 7:26, and this seemed to settle the question as to which was the fastest horse. Then fcllowed the splendid affair between Brown Dick and Arrow—three milo heate—in which Arrow was beaten. Then a heat, ina mile race, was run by Henry Perritt, in 1:42, which is the quickest mile time recorded. ‘We regret to earn that this splendid horse has since died. All this fast rusving time has been made on the Metairie course, the reason for which has been ancigned above, viz.: the shortness of the course and light weights, The races enumerated above took place at the spring meeting. During the fall meeting nothing worthy cf special notice took place, further than that Lecomte beat Arrow at four mile heats, and Arrow beat Lecomte at three mile heats. From some cause not well understood, the races were poorly attended in all ¢ections of the South and West. ‘This seems somewhat singular; for the people o! those latitudes Lave been rather remarkable for their pre- dilections for the turf. The eauses whick have contri- buted'to deter attendance on the turf may, however, be only temporary in their character; and we should not be surprised to bear of the coming spring meeting being better attended than ever. We may here observe that running 1s con- fined principally to the Southern ‘States, and trot- ting to the Northern ones. In this section of the country it is found necessary to combine specd with utflity, and therefore the trotting horse ts more in favor, as he can be used for the every day pur- poses of life. When we hada surplus of cheap labor in the North, it was no uncommon thing to see large studs of blood horses, and running was patronized by our mort influential citizens. since that time the breeling of racing stock has been gradually declining, uutil very few horses reserved capecially for running can be found. If our citizens wish to indulge in amurements of this kind they must rely upon Southern stables for the means of gratifying it. The opinion seems generally to prevail that we shall have but little more racing north of Virgl- nia, where the race horse may yet flourish for some time to come. Police Intelligence. ALLEGED ROBRERY ON THE FIVE POINTS. Chan. Pair, a m‘dile aged man, hailing from'Tine Bath, Orange county, N.

Yeter Cain alias Christy Walker au Irish seaman, was yenterday arrested by Sergeant Jordan, of the Lower Po- lige Court, chargod with ¢e‘rawling John Maret, keep- ing a public house at 08 Pearl street, out of #9752 It appears that on the 1th inst., he registered his nume on the books of the house, and engaged board, representiag himself to be # man of some means, and stating that he had #800 deposited in ove of the city sayiags banks, Ke., &e.

Thais proceeding te? to his ar- rest, and Justice Connelly incarcerated him in the Tombs to await trial. A YOUNG CONFIDENCY OPERATOR. A boy, 13 years of age, naraed Henry Turner, was ar- rested yesterday, by oflicer Cornell, of the Thirteenth ward pelice, for obtaining goods of various descriptions from different dealers in the city, by means of false re- presenta ions. It appears that early last week ho left his home, No. 7Cannon st., with the determination of get- ting a living for himself—not by lubor, however: and having a taste for music, he went to a store {n Liberty at., persuaded a elerk to write him an order ona firm at No. 2 Maiden Lang, for a drum, and sign it J. Cohen, No, 80 Hudson at. This order he took to the musts store,and not ouly procure? a new @rum upon it, but got two oll cnet entrusted to him to vet mended. He shertly after called upon a jeweller in Williamsburg, and obtained » Jockwt and cvain, under the pre-ence thit his mother wanted to see them with a view of purchasing. The day following be got five handsome pocket knives from a dealer in the same place, to show his father,who, hesud, wanted to buy them for New Yenv's presents. He also obtained cight similar knives upon like representations from a store in avenue D, besides a military searf and nu- merous other articles from different merchants. A few nights since he gained admission to a ball at the Chinese Assembly Rooms, and there became enamored with a zoune miss, living at No, 3 Broadway, whors, when the Il broke Hp, he xccompanied home; previous to which, however, he came the ‘“‘con(idence game’’ over the ticket- man, and got a good supper for himself and lady for no- thing. On his way home with her he preseated the locket and chain which ho had obtained at Williamsburg tothe young lady, and promined to call upon her soon, and would probably have done so had net his operations become known his arrest effested. He comicased his mindeede, and gave up the property, bat nevertheless was looked up by Justice Wood. He, ones before, ran away from bis home, and was with the soldiers on Goy- ernor’s Inland.
