The Great Trotting Match Between Flora Towpie asd Priacess fur $5,000—Cwenty Thousavd Persons on the Eetlpse Course. We have to record this morning one of the greatest Batborings a, the Teli gue Course yerterday that ever aa sembicd on a race track in this country. The event that drew oo great aconcocree together was the amneaace. ment that the celebrated mare Fiora Temple, and the noted Califormin mare Princess, were to come together m a teree mile Srot over this course, ina race of threo mile Beats, to ‘wagous, for the sum of five thousand dollars, rom the lowering and showery appear. auce of (2e morning, it was presomed the atgendance cwou'd not be more than an average, but later im the ¢ny, as the weether became apparently figer, the crowd oncreared until the rows leading to the race course Ddecame thronged with pedostrians and vehicles o every description, Tho Long Islimd Railroad sent up several trams of cars at intervals loaded with human freight, ant finally the number of persone assembled on the track elmost deted computation, Ata rough guess, howéver, the number present could not have been leas {hea twenty thoezand. Somo estimaied the number | mech higher, but we believe that twenty thousand is a | close approximacion to the treth. And this whole mass ‘was one of the movt orderly and quit assembiages that ‘we ever witnersed in the whole ceerse of our expe- ctience on the race track; for, altuough during ‘whe ‘time of trotting the first heat, a smart hower unluckily fell, yetno ove seemed disposed to find “tault-with the clerk of the weather, but all stood and tock ‘tbe rain like philosophers, the excitement of the race being entirely too great te allow thein to pay attention to vo small a taa'ter asa@geod sprinuling. The rain, how- ever, bud the very benedeial effect of cooling the atmos- phere, as the air becatee very pleasant and agreceble vafterwarde—the clouds acting as screens to the intense Taye of tho sun, which before theshower were somewhat -oppressive. + In ordes to post such of our readers as are not aware at the bictory of these horses, wo may observe that Ouel- da county, somewhere near Utisa, is claimed es the birth. place of 7lora Temple. It is said'thatahe was brought from there te Dutchees county, and‘finally to this city, having beep provious!y purchased for€80. The horse dealer who beough: her to this city sold ber for $356, and afer win- ning two or three-races in very good time atthe Red Rouse and or Long Island, she wes eold for $55€, She changed owners frequently at increased prices, until sho was finaly sold to Mr. McDonatd, of Baltimere, her present ‘owner, for $8,000, She is now between fourteen and A- ‘een years old, and when young was so intractable that no ‘one-cupposed that she would ever make a'troiter. Itisa singular fact thet the greatest exhibitions of speod have been shown by: trotters after they have passed what is suppored to be the meridian of life ina horse. It is a'so worthy of note that the most celebrated trotiers are thore which in their younger days were not remarkable for speed. We haye no* room in ‘a report of this kind to enumerate the previous perform ances of Flora Temple, although they may ail be foead re- eorded in ourfiles, Although victorious in the Coutest yesterday, ettli the time made in the race added nothiag to her laurels, ber race with Kthan Allen having filled the measure of her glory. A three mile raoe ia a pretty loug ‘ene, and very few of the trotters of the present dey are able to perform creditably tbat distezos, Tue days of such horees as Dutchman, Awful, Americus, Ripton, Conti- dence, Lady Suffolk, &c., &c., appear to bave passed ‘away; aod from want of a proper intusion of high blood, sur trotters soem to do best at short distances. Three mile trotting would be extremely popular, as the great aitendance yesterday conclusively proves, and from the ‘efforts now making by many breeders to restore the trotting horse to hie fermer bigh condition as regards bicod, in a very few yea's wa may expect to ace races at long distances revived. Of the mare Princers we can say but ittle, judging from ‘mer unsatisfactory performances yesterday ; but we will do her ownors the justice to say that there was no attempt to misiead’the publ'c on their part, as thoy informed eve- ry ene who inquired of them that there wns no probability of her winning the trot, as sho wasnot.in therough cond!- on for a three wile rece, the interval - between the race and ber landing from California not being sufficient to get her in proper trim. Of her bistory wo may say that she was raised by Mr. A. M. Billings, in Claremont, N. BL, who sold her to Mr. Gage, of Chicago, from whence, after several unimportant races, in which abe did vo exhibit 2 great deal of speed, she was taken to New Orleans. After a succeseful two mile race thero, she was e0ld for $2,000 to Mr. Andrew J. Daniel, ‘who took her to California, It was there she gained ber <gelebrity, boating the best horses of that country, £be trotted eight races whilst there, in four of which sho was successful. Her quickest time in public was exhibited in ber race with a horse called New York. Sbe was again gold in Calitornia and purchased by her present owner, Mr. Teakle, for $5,000, and by him brougut to this city, with the object of matching her agatost any of the big puns of the tyotting track, Her match, however, with Fiora Temple was ill-timed under the circumstances; but she may be more sucevesfui at snothor time. We bail see. The most extravagant calculations wore made asregania ‘the time the heats would be trotted in—scome sanguine ealoulators going ag low 2g 7:30—7:32}4—tho latter being ‘the time of Olé Dutchman’s celebrated feat over the ‘Beacon Course. itis wortky of note that since that per- formance of Old Dutchman, twenty years ago, there hus ‘been no near approach to it by any horse, and it stands un, wivalled to the present day, a proof of what high Glood inthe Grotting horse can accomplisk. Even the most moderate fm their calculations supposed that Dutchman's harness ‘time—7 :41—would be easily beaten; but such was not the fact, x8 the record of the day’s proceedings shows. The Botting, of which there was a great deal dono, was strong. Dy in favor of Flora, bofore and throughout the race, It opened a: about one huadred te forty on Flora—thea one huedred to thirty; and dnally one hundred to twenty was offered and taken before the race begau. After the second heat, one hundred to five was oflered, with no dis- porition to accept the tempting bait. They had seen enough of the California mare ia the firat host to incline them to the opinion that she was entirely out of place in a conteet with such a mare as Flora Temple. (i tho track, however, we. may say that we do not think it was alto- gether favorable for fast timo, although everything poesi- Die had been done to put it into complete. condition for trotting, only about four days having intervened sinos the races, whon it wes very soft and looco, suitable for run- ming. The following are the details of the trot:— First Heat.—As they startod the rain began to pour, ‘Princess on the inside leading haifa jength, which she.ra- qpidly increaged as she went arowad the upper turn, and at ‘the quarter pole was a couple of lengths in advance, |, On the backstretch, mae tie gap still wider.

Coming up ‘the bomestretch Flora closed, and thoy passed the @tand, Princess leading about a length. Going on tne wecond mile Princess drew away from Flora, and at the quarter pole was about two lengths ahead, which she held all the way down the backstretch. Flora closed on tho Jower tura, when Princess again left her, ‘Up tho homeetreteh Flora made a bat un- #uecesattl eflort for the lead, and they passed the stand Princess leading bya longth.

Tho struggle enced in earnest by Flora making a desperate burst tor the icad,and sho gained so rapidly that she showed her nose in front of Princess before the latter reached the half mile pole. Princess was then rallied, and again showed in front for a moment, and then they ‘went into the lewer turn bemutifully, head and head togeth- er.

They mot a their armory, at Lafayette Hall, Broadway, and from thence proceeded to the Astor House, where they met and re- ceived their guesta with the usaal military honore. Both companies then proceeded up Brosdway to Unioa square, and after a short street parade returned to the spacious armory of the New York Light'Guard, where a samptuous entertainment was spread out. The parade at- (tracted considerable attextion.

Affairs in this country are daily becoming more and more complicated. All fear of the United States being a party to a South American war having totally passed awey, our so-called republics are proceeding to play a game of war among themselves. General Urquiza, Presi- dent of the Argentine Confederation, is determined to co- | erce Buenos Ayres back into the confederacy. This has jong been a threat of his, and to accomplish it the Con- gress conforred upon him at its last session authority to proceed as he might deem best. This precludes the ne ceesity of a formal declaration of war. Pronunciamientos full of threats and fundamental principles have issued from various portions of tuat country, {rom the people, ap- parently epovtaneouely.

Tne resuit ‘has not yet transpired, though it is believed tbat the aid afforded will be conflved to money and boats. General Urquiza is putting his own troops in motion for the campaign. This government is preparing with quietness but great determination. The law of enrolment is rigorously executed.

How long this “for the present” may last, and what changes may come over the desisions tre Prussian goverpment have arrived at, I cannot pretend to determive; but is is certam that a few days since Prussia aud Germany were on the very brink of an off.neive ant defensive alliance with Austria, and, consequently, of 8 war against France; and it is equally certain that jnst now the eventuality of such an alliance is removed toa greater distance than ever. It appears that General Willisen, who, as informed you at the time, bad been sent to Vieona on @ secre: mission, and who has spent several weeks in negotiating with the Austrian ministers, was empowered to offer thera the co- operation of Prussia on conditioa of their agreeing to the reorganization of the Germanic Confederacy on prineiples more in accordance with the spirit of the age ani the in- terests of this country. The preciee nature of theze proposals hes not baen made public, but I presume ft was ictended to revive the cons tution traced out by the Frankfort National Assembly of 1849, end voted with some alterations by the Erfurt Par- lismont of 1850, According to this plan, the executive was to be placed in the hands of Prussia, who was to have the command of the military forees of the Germanic Union, to act a8 Its representative abroad, and in short to oocapy Aporition similar to that of Sparta in the Con’eraiion of the Greek republics. Whetber Avetria was to be incladed | in this league, or whetber & secoud Union was to ba form- ed between ber on one han, and Prassia iu the name of the reet of Germany on the other, does not exectly appear; but I should think the lattor more probable, ag in the first place Austria could hardly be expected to form partofa Confederation under the direction of Pruesta, and in tho prxt. the constitutional régime that was to be introduced in this ne ‘on Would have beew too repugnant to the politi- cal pa of the Cabinet of Viewna for them to admit of ite estabiishn.ert im their domivions That the entire project was most distasteful lo Austria willbe readily imagined, in fact, it would have comp etely deprived ber of the in- fluence she has exerted in Germany from time !mmemo- rial, and trapeferred it to @rival, of whom she has inva- riobly evinced the utmost jealouey,aud whoee pretensions to the fret place in Germary sbe bas hitherto resisted with wpiform success. I can scarcely believe, indeed, that the Prussian government really calculated upon Aus- tria’s acceding to thee pro,osals, which very likely were on'y made in the anticipation of their being refnsed, and , Of this refueal affording the Prince Regent and bis ud- | vivers a pretext for persevering im that attitude of | neutrality whi-h they are justly reluctant to depart from, | though they have been driven by the clamors of the pro- Austrian preee and the intrigues of the ultramontane and Teactionist party to take such steps as have rendered it | well nigh untenable. At any rate, after cossiderable hesi- | tation and various atiempte at compromire, Austria has de- clined the assistance"of Prussia on terms go injurious toher power and go mortifying to her pride, either being of apt pion that she is nob¥et reduced 10 each extremities as to leave ber po alternative but their acceptance, or in- dulging the hope, that in cage her affairs should aasnme a more unfavorable turn, the Prussians, impelled by pualic opinion, or by the necessity of defending the mtegrity of Germany from hostile imvasioo, #iil be obnged after all toceme t» her aid, without subjecting their co operation to such operons conditions, and relying on her proverbial gratituce for the concessions she will make when the dan- ger is past. Meanwbile, the military preparations that have beso going on here witb £0 much activity for the last month or £0 bave sudden!y come to a standstill; the “mobilization” is aejourned sine die, and mapy young men who had been cslied upon to enter the army have received leave of ab Fence for an indefinite period, with the proviso, however, that they must be ready to roappear if summoned ut twenty-four hours notice.

The Austrians, who are always wweommunly nervous about their communications, are particularity annoyed by the demonetyations in their rear, and a corps of 30,000 mea has received orders to advance from the Tyrol to the Lake of Como, and to drive the guerrilla chieftain across the fron- tier into Switzerland.
