Juége Davies announced to Mr. Ashmead yester- day morning that he could not figd any authority that empowered ‘him to direct the printing of the book of error in Cancemi’s case to be done at the expense of the county. He thought, however, it should be done, ayd he would advise the Supervisors that it should be paid. Judge Ingrabam,in the Supreme Court, gave a decision yesterday in the cage of th® People against James W, Lowber and the Common Council, which ‘was a motion to invalidate the sale of property up- town made by Lowber to the city for a public mar- ket. The Judge denied the motion, thereby render- ing the tale of Lowber to the city valid. The trinl of Capt. de Riviere for an alleged assault and battery on Col.

City Judge Russell was occupied in sentencing prisoners yesterday. Patrick Mullen, convicted of receiving stolen goods, and recommended to mercy ly the Jury, was sent to the penitentiary for six months. The Judge was lenient in consequence of Mallen’s preyious good character, for had not that been proven he would have been sent to the State prison for five years. John Harris, convicted of bur- glary in the thisd degree on Wednesday, was sent to | the State prison for five years. His Honor in pass- ing sentence said that the prisoner bore an iafamous character in the commanity, and that another in- dictment was pending against him under the name of Abraham Davis, Mike Collins, who assaulted Hugh’ McCormick in the Tombs on Friday, was sentenced on an indictment for manslaughter) to two years’ imprisonment in the State prison. The +particulars of the case were given in yesterday's Hxzaiv. We lea:n from a private source in Liverpool that the nesotiation of the bonds of the Atlantic and Great Western railroads, of Ohio, is completed by the President, General Ward, through the agency of James McHenry. The Mobile and Ohio railroads have also brought their negotiations to a successful issue. ‘The cctton market yesterday was quiet but steady, with sales of a few hundred bales at unchanged prices.

The Quarantine Moveme York Merchants. It is alleged, and very generally believed, | that but for the action of our own merchants the Quarantine would long ago have been removed from its present to « more appropriate site; and it is further believed that but for the in- terference of a few of the most influential of their number with the New Jersey Legislature, we should ere this have had splendid lazaretto at Sandy Hook. Be this asit may, it is evident the leading commercial men engaged in foreign trade are not friendly to @ removal of the pre- sent station, and are disposed rather to endure the impositions now practised on them under color of law, and run the risk of a depopula- tion of Staten Island ang New York by infec- tious diseases, than have their vessels detained, even at a more fitting place. It was said of the Datch merchants, at one period of the history of Holland, that they would burn their sails in a certain Place to make ® profit, and it sometimes looks as if that feel- | ing somewhat prevailed in “New Amsterdam.” A constant intercourse is kept up by our ship- ping during the sickly season with thoee ports known to be most afflicted with the yellow onder and 6% inmates of the varior fever.

The steamship Star of the West arrived at thie st night from Aspinwall, bringing news from Cs nia to the 20th ult., and $1,696,663 in trea- sore. Owing to the large number of artivals from al! parts of the world, the San Francisco markets were overstocked with goods, and 2 corresponding depression in trade prevailed. The political cam_ paign in California had fairly opened. The nationa; democrats, the anti Lecomptonites, and the republi- caus had nominated separate tickets, save with respect to the Sapreme Court Judge, and upon the nomication for this office the anti-Lecomptonites and republicans had united. The news from Fraser river was more favorable. There is no news of importance from New Granada. We learn from Nicacagua that Col. Cauty had attempted to take possession of Punta Arenas in the name of Costa Peea. He was, however, opposed by the British Con- t Greytown and the British naval officers, who propose angexing the Point to Mosquitia, This» movement will, it is supposed, lead to further com- lications of the Central American question. Col. had left for Aspinwall. A flood had occurred San Juan river, causing much damage to pro- y on its banks. The steamship Vanderbilt, from Havre and South- ampton lst inst., is fully due at this port, with three davs later European news. Late accounts from Mexico state that Tampico had surrendered to the liberal forces, who were as- sisted by four hundred frontiersmen and the revolu- tlovary party in the city. Vidaurri, at the head of ten thousand men, and abundantly supplied with the cews of war, was on his march tothe capital. Seve- sngagements between the opposing forces had place, in one of which Miramon was de- p ed By aa arrival at this port we have dates from Cacxcas and Porto Cabello to the 20th and 27th of , respectively. It is stated that the Vene- an government bad surrendered ex-President as and family, and his Minister, Gutierrez, in ance with the demands of the French and Hoglish. ‘They had embarked at Laguaya for Tondad. An extensive plot to place Monagas sin at the head of affairs, had been divulged by cae of the conspirators. A Port au Prince letter of the 19th ult. says that two American men-of-war were there, on the Na- ad alair. Nothing is yet decided.

[f ‘he merchants of New York think that by re- taining a crowded, close and pestileatial Quo- aatize within twenty minutes of our greatest thorovgbiares, they increase the inducements to trade, éyaw customers more surely and frequent ‘y, improve the public heatth, and add to the geaerul prosperity, then fet them persist im seeping up the Quarantine grave yard, and contivue to expose tocontagion captains, crews and scores of unlucky Staten Ielauders, We know there isan objection made to remov- jog the Quarantine grounds to s more distant polnt, om the ground of expense. Supposing it be so, that is of the smallest conseqeace com- pared with the safety of the clty itself. If the ekippers will bring yellow fever into our bay, in their eagerness to make money, let them be kept at a good distance with, their peatilential cargoes until we are willing to receive thom. indeed, it would be no more than right eatirely to prohibit their entrance into our port. Bat we doubt very much whether the ex- penees attendiug a change of location would be apy greater at Sandy Hook than they are now. They are at present quite as Weavy as can well be met, ard it would require considerable inge- nuity in the Health Commissioners er Board of -Heaith to get them much higher, no matter who wishes to finger the plunder. There would be more room te do business, greater competition among steam tugs and lightermen, and more safety in the working of every department of the Quarantine itself, and more confidence in our security from Infection. We should also get back the numerous vessels which now enter the neighboring ports at the eastward to escape detention in our harbor. New York, to maintain her commeycial pre- emineace, must have a safe port for healthy vessels to enter, or they will keep away; must be protected in tts suburbs, as well as its citadel, from imported diseases of mortal type, or em!- grants, travellers aril men of business will avoid ue: in short, a spacious, convenient, secure and healthy Quarantine etation, at a proper distance from the town, is imperiously required for its fature prosperity. Fifty or sixty miles would not be too far for perfect security, and the merchants would thea find out that the ex- penses of detention and purification, as well as the detention itzelt of their vessels, would be lessened. b Any attempt,to rebuild the hospitals, offices and dwellings recently destroyed should bo re- sisted by the people of this city with all their energy. If, under the idea of a great and grievous wrong, the people of Staten Island have taken the law i@to their of hands, and have even been criminal in their conduct—of which they eotertain much doubt—it is no reazon why we in this city: sh6uld be punished for their offences, or the yellow fever be invited to land asusual at Quarantine. If Yellow Jack is a favorite with the Board of Health, he is not so with the publio; and they are opposed to any further expenditure of money in that diregtion to please Dr. Thompson or the stevedores, or any of the crowd who live and breathe and fat- ten on pestilence and death. A great nuisance has been abated—how, we leave it to time and the law to determine; but jt is to be hopefl that the rash and ignorant advice of a certain class of our citizens to rebuild the Quarantine out of 4 spirit of spite, or without regard to the inte- rests of the people at large, may be rejected by them and treated with the contempt it deserves. Tux Fare Lovers AGaix.—These people ere at their work again. A convention has met at Utica, at which the advocates of fr& love are fully represented. A female of the name of Mary F. Davis, as we learn from their proceedings, has approached the main topic which they delight to contemplate, not in the arual garb of philanthropy, temporarly as- sumed as a cover for the assembling of the con- vention, but as an artist, This is the last new transmigration of these bold faced men and wo- men. They have tried maternity, generation, and persoual affinity on several previous occasions, and a female of the name of Branch has publicly attempted to seize upon her sex and drag them down with her into the depths of indecency: Mrs. or Miss Davis, on the contrary, is a lover of education and the fine arte; aad pro pores colleges to be “thrown open to woman, where the may be educated in all departments” like men; and “furthermore,” as “through ma- ternity. woman is the greatest artist as well as ewferer,” she should “be free to select her own sarroundings” and “to specify her own time for assuming the great artist's work of reproduc- tion.” This is the sort of talk now uttered by these petticoat reformers. Artists, indeed! Why, there are enough of this class already. They can be even at anytime at various parts of this city, as living statuary, price two shillings, aod very often at the station houses and Randal’s Island for nothing. No colleges are neceseary to instruct their followers i thie braach of art. There are plenty of private institutions in our large cities and towns where those dieciples can learn all they with to know. Every ani- mal that roams the field i+ teacher for these women, and will charge them nothiag. We are really shocked at the conduct of these free lovers. We had euppored, conscious of the public disgust, they had withdrawn themselves from further observation. But we were mis- taken. They bave turned up as artists, and taken upon themselvee the credit of being the wntbors of life, and that mysterious and sacred operation of Almighty wisdom, which preserves the generation of man and breathes into his nostrils, while yet his members are scarcely « written,” the immortal epirit which canaot die.

The statemcate of Abt] Kadir catirely bear out the opivtons azd remarks published ia this journal 4 to the pre-eminonce of the Arabiay horse over ull otger races aud breeds, The Dey asserts the Arabian to be an origiaa! race and not a breed, aud to bave been firct reclaim: ed aod brought under subjection oy (shane, the con of Abraham and bis bandmaid, Magar. Ishmael being regarded by the Arabs as sieir great progenitor, it%s very natural they should claim all that in their cyes should reilous uo: ca his aame, But the researches of late yours into the hidden treasures of Nineveh, have shown conclusively thet the Arabia Arryrian horse, had been subject: to power of man long anterior to the time of Isbmael. The magnificent stud of Solo- mon, referred to by Abd-el Kudir, was de- rived from « number of horses sewt Giut at a presen’ by the King of Assyria, whore ewpire was noted for the number aud quality of its horses. Assyriag horses and aorseinen are constantly alluded to in sacred histery, ang the Jows seem to bave been in continu»! dread of the “drinkers of the wind,” “th> gicry cf whose nostrils is terrible!” * The manner in which these horses fonad their way into Africa is satisfactorily explained by the ex-Dey, and his theory may be the true one. It had been previously supposed they had been introduced into Africa by the way of the Isthmus of Suez, a narrow neck of land which separated Chaldea or ancient Mesopota- mia from Egypt. Both theories may be cor- rect, and the introduction have taken place at different epochs, by the Red Sea as well as through Egypt. . From the kcown Ligh qualities of the Arab horse throughout the entire East, itis by no means surprising that all eqnestrian ostions should have endeavored to avail themeeives of tis ad- mitied superioritypand procured them whenever practicable, at all hazards, for the purpose of intermixture with euch indigenous races and breeds aa were found in their immediate locali- ties. This intermixture soon formed breeds as- similating more or less to the Arabian in ap- pearance ard quality,"and known by diferent names—the name, Arabian being frequently claimed for breeds possesting, in reality, but a fraction of that blood, in the same way that the name of Messenger is claimed for grey horses irthis country. Numerous breeds qf ponies ex. ist in the East, extending even to China, many of which exhibit traces of Arab blood. But such poay intermixtures are worthless to the practical Anglo-Saxon, whatever value may at tach to them elsewhere. As stock horses they are entitled to no greater consideration i (his country than so many Morgans. It is very evident that a race posseages the ca- pability ofimpressing some of its peculiarities on any breed with which it may be crossed. The ili success which has generally attended the im- portation of horses called Arabian, into Great Britain and this couatry, may ly be gacribed to the fact that they were not well bred—that, they were merely representatives of certain Eastern breeds impressed with Argbian blodd, and possessed to unpractised eyes its exter- nal attributes only, while the pith and mar- row of the gepuine race were wanting. Of course such horees could make no very fa- vorable impression on racing stock, for the elmple reason that through the Darley and Godoiphin Arabians—horses of the genuine stamp—the infusion of Arab blood was as great in the English and American racehorse as it was in those by which it was sought to be im- proved, whilet, at the exme time, the speed was greater. . . The Godolphin and Darley Arabians are the very corner stones upom which*the superstruc- ture of the modern racehorse has beea built. We want more of euch horses if they can be found; for already the lack of Arabiau blood in our raceborses is distinctly visible in their weak legs, flat tender feet, and defective wind. Neither Engfish nor American racers are what they should be—but the Englich are much the worse of the two, and have little else than an uncertain amount of speed at short distances and in single heats to recommend them. Strength, durability ond hardihood have been sacrificed to speed. Like the dog and the shadow. the actual has been sacrificed to the ideal. Not one in « hundred of the horses bred in this country for the turf ‘are ft to contend in a four Ymile race, ran in heats We know of none at all in Great Britain. The stories about bandaged lege, tender feet blindness, colda, coughs, Xc., tell their own tale, The breed is retrograding—resolving itself into first principlee—the Arabian blood which formerly fowed through the veinsof a lim- ited number of racers, ie now running through & thousand channels, acd beooming every moment etill more diluted and weakened. However correct the principle and practice of continued in spplied to races, yet it is reduced toa mo- ral certainty that among breeds time will de- velope ill effects, unless counteracted by repeat- ed infusions of freeh and original blood. The cold, low grade blood in the racer, eo long overpowered and kept in abeyance by that of the nobler Arabian, is beginning to exhibit its pernicious influence in both countries. in breeding may be when | if) this be not checked in time, we should not be | surprieed to sec, inetend of a breed of vatuabl thoroughbred horses on our raoe gourses, a breed of thoroughbred good-for-nothings. Some exceptions to these remarks, however, exist. There are individual borees of undonbted sta. mina and bigh speed, which soem to concen trate in themecives ail the best blood of the beeed ; but the majority of race horses are about as described, fit only to carry light weighte, and able to run only occasionally.

As it is, however, he bas left a progeny unrivalled for tbe farm, the road, and the trotting track—io fect, horses suitable for all the useful pur- poses of Life, and with epeed and eudurauce ade- quate to any emergency that may ariee, These horses are extremely scarce, howeves, even im the locality in Pennsylvania where they may be skid to have originated. It is asserted that not over half-a-dozen Bashaw stallions can be found in the country—probably, not 60 many—and only one or two of them thoroughbred ow the side of the dam. It is somewhat remarkable that the transcendant merit of this breed of borses should so long have escaped observation. Turfmen generally are loth to acknowledge the merit of a breed of Horses in which they are not immediately interested, and always endeavor to place the trotting horse in a secondary position to the racer, on the score of impurity of blood,’ if nothing else. In this connection, however, we my observe that we have trotters whose blood is as pure as that of any race-horse, and whose gait is the very poetry of motion. Stal- lions of this class are deservedly valuable, and command high prices. ‘The publit were occasionally étartled by the record of some astonishing performance on the road or trotting track; but beyond the fact that the immediate actors were Pennsylvania horses of elegant form and bloodlike appear- ‘ance, no one knew what race or breed they be- longed to. Even the sporting journals were sileat. The Heratp, however, at length dis- pelled the mist, by asserting that these horses belonged to a breed of recent origin, sprung from the Arabian horse Grand Bashaw, who | was imported intoBucks County, Pennsylvania, in 1620, by gentleman named Morgan. Far- ther inquiry developed the fact that they were a trotting breed, and included in their category of stallions eweh names as Andrew Jackson, Kemble Jackson, Saladin, Black Bashaw, Long Inland Bisck Hawk, Lightning, &c. So little was known of this breed by name, until attention was directed to it by the Hxnaxo, that even the pedigree of Lantern (son of Black Bashaw), who is reported to hive recently gone to the half mile pole, in double harness, in the un- precedented ‘ime of one minute and twelve se- conds, was entirely unkaoown.. « As allusion has been several times made in the course of these remarks to the Qarley and Go- dolphin Arabians, it may not be inappropriate to observe that the Darley Arabian is reported to have been bred somewhere in the neighbor- hood of Palmyra, and brought or sent to Eag-*}. land by the gentleman whose name he bears. Conflicting accoutits prevail regarding the Go- dolphin Arabian; and Eugene Sue wrote quite @ romantic account of his history aud adven- tares, which has found its way into turf maga- zines and journals. Probably the true story Is the traditionary one, ascribing to Captain Baker the credit of introducing this celebrated horse into Great Britain in 1731. By this it appears that Captai Baker was engaged in smuggling on the English coast. Smuggling at that time was avery serious offence, and visited by severe punishment. Phe government were vigilant in their efforts to suppress it, and Captain Baker found, after a time, that the water was getting too hot for him. He accordlogly ded with his versel into the Mediterranean, where he is said to have pursued a legitimate trade. Having accumulated a large sum of money, be became anxious to return home. Aware of his danger if he returned publicly, he had recourse to atra- tegem. He knew that Lord Godolphin, the owner of the famous stallion Hobgoblin, was passionately devoted-to horses, aad resolved to take advantage of it to procure his intercession with the government. Having learned throuch the Arabs that atribe in the interior possessed several horses of great value, and that one of them in particular was iaestimable, he deter- mined (o procure him at every hazard asa pro- sent for bis lordsbip. Through an Arab coa!ede- rate the horse was stoléa from the catrance to the tent, where be was confined, aud reached we const in eafety, when he was immediately put on board the vessel. The theft appears to have been atteuded by considerable danger, The tribe resided some distance in the interior, and the Arab who stole the borse had barely time to mount bim and fy. The purenit was contionued all night and throughout the next day, when the Godolphin, belog the teetest and most en- during boree, distanced bis pureucra, who geve up the chase. Captain Beker arrived sately in France, he sold Lis vessel, and succegded in smuggling the boree into Kuglond. «He had him conveyed privately to the nei Lord Godolphiu’s estate, from whence he could obtain intelligence of his lordship’s move- ments. He soon ascertuined that his lordship wes in ibe babit of riding out in the evening, and Inid bis plans accordingly to intercept Lim. Mounted on bis magnifi- cent Arabian, he crossed the path of Earl, who was etartied at the sight of the splen- did animal, and immediately inquired i's price Fle wae iaformed that le was not for sale, The same (hing occurred for several sucoseding Gaye, each time hie lordship becoming more enamored of the horse. The stranger at length told bis lordship be would present the borse to him, but that no money could buy bim. To this toe Karl would not consent, but insisted on Baker coming bie price. So the m stood wottl one day he was informed that a strangor had placed ao elegant horse in Lis stables as a present to bis lordship. The Earl recognized the boree, and asthe donor was then unknown he was obliged to accept the animal. This was the horre which in after years became celebrated as the Godo!phin Araty Some time afier the pre- vente it became kaown to the government that the notorious Osptain Baker had arrived in the country, acd was thea concealed eome- where in the neighborhood of Earl Godolphin’s estates. Inquiry ia thet direction was soon | ch cked, ard ot a eultable momeat the pardon | of that of the modern raca horse—but where the istter would be in « day’s journey with a man on bis back, and without either food or water, the intelligent reader may well conjecture. The Arab, asa race, has not degenerated one iota since the days of Ichmael, as is eatisfactorily shown by the extraordinary performance of the horse of Abd-el-Kadir, who carried his master two hundred and forty miles in twenty-four hours when purrued by the enemy. Such is the testimony ot Abd-el-Kadir, and such are ths horses we want in this country, The Emir re Jates what is within his own knowledge, aad his statements are entitied to greater weight than the erude speculations of travelled thee riste, Stave Povitics—Tae Prospects of tue Am minisrraTion Detocnracy.—The failure to bring about a fasion of the republican and American parties at Spracuee has left the field opem to the administration democrats, in the election of a State ticket, avd if they act with prudence in the selection of a candidate for Governor at the approaching Convention on the 15th, there is little danger of defeat, The adoiinistration democrats throngbout the entire State, with the exception of this city alone, are united. Here there is an angry quarrel among them, and “al-. ways willbe. The defeat of Fernando Wood last year has left an undying bittérnegs.in the ranks of the democracy, and the Tammany and anti Tammany factions are at each other's throats. There will be two sets of delegates claiming admission to the Convention at Syrs- cuse; but if that body acts wisely, it will do aa - it did last year—admit a portion of both, and in- sist that they shall settle their ovatemptible lo- cal quarreiz athome. The party in this city is divided into so many corrupt factions—each hungry for the epoMs of the Custom House, the fat Corporation offices, and so forth—that they will fight invany event; but there is strength enough and unity enough in the administration democrats all through the State to nullify the evils arising from their divisions, as far as the safety of the State ticket is concerned. There is no doubt that we shall have two | tickets for county officers from the administration party, and as it is quite likely that the republi- cans and Americans in this city will follow the example of the delegates at Syracuse, and refuse to unite, unless “the cohesive power of pubiic plunder” chall force the parties into conjunction, we will probably have four tickets at the Novem- ber electicn—two from the administration demo- crats, ope from the republicans, and one from the Americans. Out of these the taxpayers, if they do not nominate a ticket of their own, may have an opportunity of selecting some competent men to fill the most responsible offices—that of Comptroller for example, the most important of all, whio, whatever be his party politics, chould be an honest and a resolute man, copable alike of disbursing the finances of the city with fidelity and economy, and of Protecting the treasury from the hands of thievee and rascals, With regard to the election of Goveraér and other State officials, the administration party ‘bave now “a clear stage and no favor” before them. It the Convention unites upon a fit candi- Gate for Governor—and Judge Parker is just the one, & practical man, and a hearty supporter of the administration—and if it excludes every con- sideration of the quarrels which exist In thie city from its councils, there can be no difficulty in the way of the success of the Ndministration emocracy at the coming election. —_—_—_—_—_— THE LATEST NEWS.
