Later in the evening other fires oc- cu in stables and other buildings, and the force of firemen and police had a lively time of it until nearly six o’ciock. ‘The fact that all these fires, with one exception, occurred in stables—in most instances in the hay lofts—convinced the police oMcials that they were the work of incendiaries, who had ‘conspired to simultan apply the match in various parts of the hteent jeventh and Thirteenth wards, and they at onco set to work to discover the perpetrators. Inthe Eighteenth precinct three Persons were arrested on suspicion of having en- in the disreputable work. Captain Brackett, ‘Was notified and at once proceeded to the station house and made. a searching investiga- tion, which resulted in the discharge of the accnsed parties for want of sufficient evidence.

He discussed the Theme very ably and to the satisfaction of the Con- vention, recommending ible classes, home devotion, reading parties and family worship.

Great Trotting Match Between George Wilkes and American Giri for $2,000—The Stallion the Victor. ‘ The much-talked-of match between the brown stallion George Wilkes and the bay mare American Girl, which came off yesteraay afternoon at the Union Course, was really a great one, and, taking all the disadvantages of the lateness of the season and the heavy condition of the wack from the recent rains into consideration, the race has seldom or never been surpassed to wagons, It is true thai Dexter trotted a second heat in a race in 2:24 on the ‘ith of June, 1867; that Flora Temple trotted in 2:25 im her race with Ethan Allen on the Sist of May, 1861, and George Wilkes himself trotted a second heat on the Unton Course on the 14th of June, 1866; 1n 2:25, but this time was made under the favor- ‘able circumstances of fine weather and track. ‘The second heat in the race of yesterday was trotted in 2:273g by George Wilkes, both horses having to make a wide circuit of the track in round- ing the turns so asto avoid the mud. In the latter part of this heat Wilkes was not called upon to do his best, as the mare had broken up ana was 60 far behind that there was no necessity for it. Wilkes appears to bes better horse now than he has been for several years past, and his physical powers seem now to have attained their greatest development. ‘Throughout the whole of the season he has performed admirably and done a great deal of work. In no race in which we ever saw him contend where he was ed at the Mnish did his driver manage him as, in the opinion of good horsemen, he should have been driven. He is a horse that needs eucouragement at the end of @ race, and not flagellation. Instead of giving him his head and putting on the whip, which has been the practice of every one of his drivers, his head should be lifted, the bit shifted in his mouth and every en- couragement possible given him. We would recom- mend the advice of the late Hiram Woodruff to those who may have the handling of Wilkes in the future. That celebrated driver was utterly opposed to flogging a tired horse, American Girl, although defeated, made a capital trot, being so close to Wilkes at the end of the third heat that he only beat her by a short head. Many considered this @ dead heaf, and a decision to that effect would not have. been disapproved of by the backers of the stallion. She was the favorite among the betters previous to the start, and even after the first heat, in which the stallion beat her, on account of several bi as was supposed. To have war- ranted this great faith on the part of her backers she Must have made some wonderful time in her private trials lately. In fact, 1t was well known that on Saturd: orning last she trotted half a A knowledge of this fact, and that she was a mare of great endurance, made her the great favorite she was and led to the general supposition that, baring: contingencies, she must win the race. This is pre ably her last race for the season, and it shouldbe so, as she has done a great deal of work fora six year old mare and, one, too, that has a rather defective hind leg. With proper care and attention this winter she may make her mark next summer, when she will most likely have to come in contact with Lady ter Goldsinith Maid, George Palmer, Myron Perry, Rhode Island, George Wilkes and a number of the celebrities. Fust horses are becoming quite numerous about these days. ‘This trot was made to come off on Wednesday, but ‘was postponed until the next day on account of the rain storm, which prevailed through Tupaday night and all of Wednesday. Under the beilef that the track would be unfit to tro’ esterday, and that another postponement would be necessary, a great many persors stayed away from the course who oth- erwise would have been present. As it was there was quite a large attendance, asthe race was ex- pected to be one of the very beat and the last of the season. Great pains had been taken with the track toobviate the effects of the rain, and {ts surface presented a tolerably fine appearance; but a close inspection showed that its condi was anything but favorable for fast work. Still, the owners of the horses were so intent upon get the mate off that they thought the condition of the k was enought for their purpose, each one supposing his horse superior on a heavy track. It was, however, about as for one as for the other. The weather was delightful—a clear sky, a fine atmosphere and but little wind—which was greatly In favor of the horses. With respect to the soil of the Union track we oy lee that it is pecu- liar Im its character, aud the ck is probably bet- autamn than any other in the country at those periods. It has an excellent na- tural under drainage, which carries off the water from the surface so rapidly that it is in condition for trotting on ordinary occasions -in a few hours after the heavies: rain, But to the trot, THE BETTING BRFORK TUF RACK, American Girl...$50 60 60 55 100 140 150 200 200 George Wilkes... 87 37 39 56 110 166 140 170 160 THE TROT.

SypnEy, Oct, 1, 1868, During the past month the condition of New South Wales has been that of almost unbroken dulness. ‘There has scarcely been a single occurrence of inter- est or importance. Trade has been frightfully de- Pressed; flour has all the time been going down lower and lower, and by the mail just in we have learn” that wool has fallen three pence a pound. A few weeks will probably see a very respectable proportion of the squatting and mercantile commu- nity floundering in the agonies of the Bankruptcy Court. There has been a good deal of speculation in re- gard to the physical disturbances, of which I gave an account last month. Further news has been re- ceived of the mischief done all through the islands lying near the Australian Contment. The volcanic wave seems to have been stronger towards the east- ward. At the Chatham Islands the natives had to flee to the highest ground In order to escape being drowned, and the settlement there was completely destroyed. ‘The site of the town is now covered with sand and seaweed. The violence of the waves at these istnnds fs reported to have been terrific, and their height very much greater than was noticed in either Austrailia or New Zea- land. Perhaps New Yorkers have already heard of some terrific convulston of nature near or on the west coast of South America; for that fs where the scientific savans agree to place the cause of the dis- turbance. It is also supposed that the convulsion must have been of great magnitude—greater than the earthquake in Japan in 1854, Possibly, how- ever, the volcante eruption may have taken place underneath the sea, in which case 1t 18, of course, also possible that a few new isiands may be dis- covered somewhere about the Sonth Pacific Ocean, Mr. Parkes has not yet made public the affidavits in reference to the Fenian plot against Prince Alfred, to which he alluded in his speech at Kiama, and which created so much anxiety in the minds of loyal Australians, [Ye has, how- ever, resigned his place in the Ministry, for no very intelligible cause, the reason assigned being @ squabble about some detail of the Treasury Depart- ment. Parliament meets on the 13th mst. “for the despatch of business,” and then we may confidently look for the speedy clearing up of Mr. Parkes’ mys. terious allustons to a “dark conspiracy.” Mean- while, the Fenian mama has again passed off and the people have recovered their senses. A shooting case has occurred on board the Amertf- can ship Henry. It seems the'firat mate and a man named James Roach got on very bgt together during the voyage from New York, and have. ,o relled worse t] ever since the ship arrived in Syd- ney. At last’ Roach so provoked the ire of Grafton, the mate, that the latter drew @ revolver and fi three shots. Only one bullet took effect, and that simply caused a slight flesh wound In the arm. The mate says he had.no intention of hitting Roach, and that he only wanted to frighten him; and he also alleges that be- fore he fired Roach put his hand to his back as though about todraw a knife. Grafton nas been committed for trial, and, as the authorities here are very severe in all cases of shooting or stabbing, will probably get @ pretty heavy Cerrar et baryon 4 about five years’ imprisonment tn Darlinghurst jail, ‘The Randwick spring meeting has come and gone, and the Australian Derby has been won by The Duke. ‘To describe the race course on the Australian Derby day would be simply to describe an English Derby on a somewhat diminished scale. The passion for and hea’ betting, however, 1s more widel, rit tralia, in proportion to the population, than in England. At least fifteen thousand spectators must have gathered ‘together at Raudwick on the Derby day, and the attendance was ki ‘up very well through the meeting. Every one here seems to have something pending on the more conspicuous events, and many, even amorg schoolboys, can trace out the pedigree of the more renowned horses. “‘Sired, and damed,” fam as smoothly from their youthful tongues as the rules of the three concords, or the chronology of the English monarchy.

The Maiden Plate stakes were carried off by Ragnicker, the Produce stakes by Barbelle and the Great Metro- politan by the Barb. The Melbourne mecting comes off next month, sine Barb and Tim Whitler are the favorites for the Melbourne Cup. Rumors are still afloat in reference to the new line, stated to be projected by an American company, be- tween San Fran and the colonies, touching at Fecjee and New Caledonia. Such a line could un- doubtedly monopolize the passenger trac and malla between the northern cojonies and Europe if con- ducted on liberal principles. It ie stated here that the ships are already in course of construction and that the line will open simultaneously with the Paci- fle Ratlroad; but perhaps more is known in New York upon this subject than in Australia, 4 The Panama line, it 1s said, will soon discontinue stopping at Wellmgton and touch at the Bay of Isiands ‘rhey will thus save two days—no small matter in @ voyage of fifty days, QUEENSLAND, ere is a strong movement now Ing on in guectsiana for the separation of the north from w e southern section of the colony, thus splitting the present colony lato two. ‘The agitation has originated distribution of the ly in the all unequal Sauer works, Out of a debt of money t on pul £6,000, contracted for various public services, principally government railways, it is alleged that neariy £5, have been spent in the favored dis- tricta, whose commerce concentrates {in Brisbane, the metropolis, The northern part of the colony already a popniation suMcient to entitie it to in- @ependence, and their peculiar reiations with the aborigines make it eminently proper that they should have the conduct of thetr own affairs.

On the Don river several mur ders of settlers and shepherds have taken place and large numbers of cattle haye been stoien and speared. On the other hand the native police have been distingaishing themselves by murdering an; blacks they have been able to catch, without regard to sex and without attempting to ascertain whether they were guilty of any crime. This indiscriminate shooting jown of the natives ts certainly the very worst and most impolitic means of siriking terror into the aborigines.
