WEDNESDAY MORNING, APRIL 4, 1860. TALK ON 'ORANGE. It was rather quiet yesterday on the flags of rue Carondelet and environs until after meridian. The Metairie grounds from this hour had the call; in fact, it was the principal attractive feature of the evening's, or P. M. movements. Metairie had the call three to one, and money was abundant on the Ridge, discounts were free on certain nags, irres- pective of being in line, out of line, or above line. It was manifest, however, there were certain lines to go by, and which controlled large sums of the metalic. In fact, it was tolerably lively-King Cotton was not thought of after 1 P. M., the nags had it. In the meantime, there was some talk of the immense concourse of people at present in the city. We are crowded to excess. The Metairie is the grand Meca. In the meantime, local matters in general moved along very smoothly and calmly, excepting some talk about the fnancial market. Money is in considerable request, and, as usual, is much talked of. It is now pretty certain that there will be no trouble from high water this season. The upper rivers are scarcely in bottable condition. Red and Ouaohita rivers are falling rapidly, and possibly considerable cotton will be detained from reaching market. Mdias n'mporte. We have a good show, say 2,010,089 bales at this port, with some excess to be added. There was some talk that the everlasting in- genuity, industry and sharpness of New England had invented a machine that would take all the dust, sand, leaves, and dust in general from so- called dusty cotton. We should not be surprised; therefore, we can only talk to planters: If you have any dust and sand admixtures, they will com- mand 4i(5 eta. l lb ; if you have any clean and good cotton that will class above Middling, it will command good prices, that is, from 11@12 and 121 cts. ' lb. But if you have sandy cotton, you must expect to receive sandy prices for it. Business on the lower levee shows a decline from last week. The gimlet rangers seem to think the close of the saccharine trade for the season is ap- proaching. The dust and sun are getting rather un- comfortable at the grand depot. Many steamers are withdrawing from the sugar, as well as the cotton trade, going Into summer quarters. The stocks of cotton, sugar and molasses, are all de- clining rapidly, and many buyers have completed their season's operations, and those from the great West, particularly, are awaiting to be present at the great ceremonies on the 12th inst., the inaugu- ration of the Clay Statue. Of course, we must have a little confab regard- ing the staple and receipts; and, in making up our semi-weekly statement, we find that the receipts at the seaports foot up 4,101,040 bales since the lst September, as explained in fall by the following figures: RecipNt proeeer or nas at New Orlans, to 6 oelk last eeing including yesterday evening's Jack- on R i ad train .. ...... ................. 2,010,1 089 . atMoble toAprli ..................... .... 741,11 Sal avUah lo Mrec 2 ....................... e el6(n .at Chslton toMarch 29 ........... ... 440,271 .. t dlorltda parts-* lda ciol,, , r t.

The Texas receipts are thie heaviest, relatively, for the week. The receipts over the Mississippi Central Railroad, northward, will bring up at some of the Atlantic ports, and be brought in in the annual statement at New York in August next. We intended to remark on the nature of some dispatches forwarded from New York last month, to operate and influence the L mverpool market. Want of room, however, compels us to defer them, with some allusions to Col. Wrong's circular of the 27th iut. The Colonel has evidently crept through tile bull ring. There is a manifest decline in the business on the lakes. The shipments of Western produce to fIo- bile, Florida and Georgia, are rapidly falling off; yet there is great bustle on some of our prominent streets. Camp street is now the great centrality, every vehicle, from the vegetable wagon, express wagons, butchers carts, drays, the new-fangled draying machines in particular, public hacks, om- nibases, private carriages, cabs, horses, mules, Scows and goats, seem to have taken a particular fancy to our grand street. We sympathize with the residents thereon, who are compelled to put up with the dust, clatter, noise and shouts, from the rising of the sun to the setting thereof. In fact, Camp street is the great race street of the day. It is hoped the city officials will notice the hourly in- fractions of the ordinances relating to fast driving. We alluded in our last talk to an order, due bill, or document of our late citizen, Macdonogh. It is a veritable duo bill, payable to his nephew, as we fstated, eight years after his death. The inquiry is h made, "when will the estate be settled ?" It was P thought to have been closed a year ago. There d will be a nice time for some of tie legal fraternity. The mails came through yesterday as late as due. Does Postmaster-General Holt intend to al- low Col. Marks any further assistance? If not, it is about time for our Chamber of Commerce and mercantile community to memoraline Congress on tile subiect. AMUYIUSEMENTS LAST EVENING. Capital entertainment was again served out to the visitors at the Varieties, "The Invisible Prince," with Airs. Jno. Wood as Don Leander, being re- peated. It is needless to say that Mrs. Wood con- firmed and strengthened the favorable impression made on Monday night. Our play-goers are prop- erly suspicious of the genuineness of reputations acquired or got up in New York or otherwheres; but they are always ready to render to artists the justice of their endorsement of their good deserts, if they approve themselves worthy. So it would be in this case if Mrs. Wood were an actress who had just risen to note-her fame would be endorsed and added to. But she is no newly risen star, having long stood prominently in the ranks of the profes- sion, and displayed her merits in New Orleans years ago in brilliantly successful engagements. She, with the other new accessions, now renders the Varieties most attractive with the light and fanci- ful entertainments which are to be the vogue of its summer season. Previous to "The Invisible Prince" that farce called "The Young Widow" was done by Mr. Davenport as Splash and Miss Susan Denin as Aurelia. The latter was good, of course, and the Splash of the evening was tremendous, as a start- lingly vigorous and fantastically farcical perform- ance. The solo on the violin was very cleverly ar- tistic. Davenport is a fiddler of calibre, certainly. The Walmbold Minstrels did not fill the St. Charles by much. Several members of the troupe are very good, and among all J. F. Walmbold is the bright, particular star. He is a good burnt- cork artist. The Rumsey & Newcomb minstrels had their usual flattering quantum of visitors at the Amphi- theater, and entertained them with the very best style of Ethiopic performace.

Yesterday was a bright and pleasantly warm day, favorable to racing, but was toowindyfor its dryness, the consequence beingan affliction of at dust, which distressed the entire city and sunburbs. co We never saw a dustier day. The Metairie track, o too, was dusty, in common with all other traveled c roads. at The dust, however, did not prevent the usual rush of the population to the Metairie. Gentle of men in buggles generally wore dusters; the ladies cc and their attendant gentlemen shut themselves up in carriages; great crowds turned up their noses na at the dust, and ripped ahead without caring for er it, whilst other crowds avoided the dust pretty well by taking the cars and the big omnibusees, r and by driving out the new Canal street shell road, which is too new to be dusty for some time. The scene at the race-course was as multitodi- nous and as gay and fashionable as on any previous day; the ladies being present again in great num. w her, and adding totheir stand all the sweetness and loveliness of a parterre of flowers. m This day's sport appeared to be pretty well de- th fined beforehand. The race was for a Club purse th of $1000 at three mile heats. There were four et entries, it-wit: Mr. Doswell's Fanny Wash- 4 inglon, Gen. Wells' UTndo J'ef, Mr. Kenner's La Varidtd, and Col. Bingamin's Goddva.o The betting ct in pools the nightbefore showed Fanny to be the , favorite, almost even against the field; Uncle Jeff ranking next, and as high as the remaining two put together; La VariBtI ranking third, and Godiva c last. On the quarter stretch, yesterday, Fanny c( rose to the dignity of being backed even against 01 the field, with odds on her beating any named one t or two out of the other three. The opinion of I Fanny seemed to be almost unanimous, for the offers of her backers were not very quickly bitten at that we could discpver. There was much betting m among the friends of the other three horses. al The race was well contested, and was remarka- ble for a slow heat and a very fast heat. We give w the particulars: FrosT HEAT.-The animals, when stripped, look- fc ed almost "sweet enough to eat;" all being in tip- top condition. A good start was made, all four goingoff nearly in a bunch. The spread out tl showed Fanny in the lead, with Jeff second, Go- ri diva third, and Varidtd last. They strung it in this position all through the mile, getting rather close fa at the half-mile, and making a short chain of four ri links in the last turn. As Fanny kept the lead all through the other two miles, winning the heat, we 31 need only describe the passages at arms between o her followers. In the first quarter of the second ri mile, Varidtd took the third place from Godiva, but did not leave her to speak of; all three kept close o up to Fanny down the back stretch, and came near n bunching at the half mile; and after that, whilst Jeff kept bravely after his fair leader, Varidtd and a Godiva kept side by side for some distance, as close to Jeff as he was to Fanny. Coming home, Godiva a left Varidtd and got by the side of Jeff. These two it chased Panny hotly home and into the third mile, a Taridtd bringing up the rear. Going to the quarter pole, Varidt gotup again with Jeff and Godiva, a and whilst Fanny piloted as usual, thesethree passed the pole in a bunch. This bunch opened in g the back stretch, showing Varidtd in the second c place, Godiva third and Jeff last. The string stretched out wide; in the last turn Fanny actually I ran away from her followers, and won the heat, i the easiest in the world, in the not very astonish- ing time of 5:431. a SErcOND HIEAT.-The backers of Fanny now offered bigodds on her against thefield, and no takers. There was some miscellaneous betting among the t friends of the other three. The bell-tap brought t the horses up, all in excellent trim, and the drum- e tap sent them off with a fair start, and at a crack- ingpace. Fanny, Jeff and Godiva went off abreast, t Varidtd not being more than half a length behind. Ii The first turn showed Fanny leading again, with Jeff second, Varidtd third and Godiva last. They a went this way in a short string through the back stretch, and crowded together in the last turn; e Fanny still leading, as she had all the time done t and still intended to do, and Jeff still her most de- t doted follower. Dashing into the second mile, Godiva and Varidtd were joint partners in bringing up the rear. At the quarter pole Godiva was hindmost. All were close together in the back t stretch, where Godiva went up and gave Varidtd I another brush. They kept closeallthe way h around, and Godivawas third to enter thethird mile. In the first turn of this mile the crowd be- gan to open out. In the back stretch all made a c final and desperate effort to catch thecoquettish c Fanny; but it was "love's labor lost." Varitdf and Godiva, however, swapped places, and both passed Jeff-the position now being Fanny first, Godiva second, Varidtd third and Jeff last. These positions were not changed to the end of the mile; c all making a desperate run of it down the home t stretch, Fanny coming in handsomely ahead, and Uncle Jeff barely saving his distance. The friends of the favorite this time had the laugh, and got some of their money back. Fanny's beautiful running, in keeping the lead throughout the entire race, was a matter of much enthusiasm among her friends; so also were the I friends of Godiva and Varidtf properly delighted and f noisy over the defeat of Uncle Jeff, who had been t second favorite in the race, before starting. The time of the second heat was extraordinarily good; 5:33j, or nine and a half seconds quicker than the E first heat. The race may be set down as one of I the gem contests of the present meeting.

FROM NEW Mxico.-•The St. Louis Republican publishes a Santa Fe letter of the 13th ult., from which we extract the following: A rumor reached here yesterday, to the effect that the Navajo Indians had captured five hundred Government mules from a camp distant only fifteen fmiles from Albuquerqe. These Indians, I under. stand, have been within ten miles of this place. e Active preparations are being made for the Navajo campaign. The whole military force, with volunteers and spies, will start for the seat of war during next month. The Independence mail, with six back mails. reached here on Wednesday last. The conductors report that-not a single Indian was seen on the road, although the Government is given to under- stand that no mail can come through without an escort. I am informed that proposais will be sent on from responsible persons in this Territory, to carry the mails through, within contract time, and r without a military escort, if the Postmaster-General will annul the present contract.

WAisasw, April SThe dispatches received at the Navy Department, from Captain Jarvis, the commading offcer of the Gulf Squadron, enclose communications addressed to him by the officers commanding the French and Spanish ships of war at Vera Cruz. They inquire of Captain Jarvis under what law of nations 10 captured the two Mexican steamers and sent them a prizes to the United States. Captain Jarvisdeclines entering into any expla- nation of the matter, and refers them to his Gov- ernment for a reply to their inqunries.

Of a large number of medical stu- dents who were applicants,'the following twelve were elected resident students at the hospital for the year : Messrs. Campbell, Lewis, Davis, Parker, Charchere, Dinkins, McDade, Penny, Profilet, Stickney, Haynes and Bark. The officers elected are all well-known-had accomplished gentlemen, who will be sure to discharge their duties faithfully and to their own credit. UNrvnEsrrY Or LOnUsIANA.-Lat, Obmmence- meei.-The commencement exercises of the Law Department of the University took place at Ly- ceum Hall on Monday. A large and brilliant as- semblage of ladies and gentlemen filled the hall, and remained to the end, the proceedings being both interesting and pleasant. Professor Randell Hunt, Dean of the Faculty, conferred the degree of Bachelor of Laws upon the following thirty graduates: Messrs. J. E. Blount, W. W. Campbell, R. P. Cates, M. W. Chapman, C. A. Conrad, A. L. D. Conrad, F. Duffel, A. Dupre, Jr., A. C. Demartrait, G. S. Fitche, B. B. Hempken, G. W. Hudspeth, F. N. Lewis, W. H. Lilly, W. B. Kemp, F. M. Hacma- nus, W. McGregor, H. N. Ogden, J. S. Pagaud, L. Prescott, N. C. Quin, E. Rost, A. Roman, C. MoR. Self, S. W. Spencer, Jolm Tabor, J. F. Templeton, Lewis West, A. P. Webre, R, H. Yates. lifter conferring the degrees, Professor Hunt delivered to the graduates one of his usual power- ful and eloquent addresses. Mr. H. N. Ogden gave the valedictory response for the graduates. Botl were listened to with profound interest. A fine band of music added to the pleasure of the occa- sion. We should add that the exercises were opened with proper solemnity by a prayer from the Rev. Dr. Palmer; also, that the promised alumni ora- tion, by Mr. P. Alexander, was not given, owing to that gentleman's unavoidable absence. BLOODY RENCOvTREs.-We learn that a few days since a difficulty occurred between two young gen- tlemen of this city, Messrs. Fleytas and Adrien Cassard, the cause of which was a disagreement on private affairs. The result was the stabbing of Mr. Fleytas in the left side, so seriously that fears were entertained as to his recovery. A desperate affray occurred about 8 o'clock on Sunday night in John Thompson's oyster saloon, on New Levee street, in which a young man named John Doyle was stabbed in six places with a pocket knife in the hands of a man he only knows by sight. Doyle says that in reply to some im- pertinent remarks, he told the man to mind his own business, at which he was assaulted in a vio- lent manner, and during the fight was cut. One wound was in the neck, another in the left arm, one in the lower part of the chest, and two in the right leg. These are not dangerous; hat another, which has penetrated his intestines, is a very se- rious wound. No arrests have been made. THE BIG StLGAn Sw•NDLE.-We yesterday men- tioned that Z. A. Rosenthal had been arrested in the Second District, and arraigned before the Re. corder on the charge of having, at different times, swindled Messrs. Samuel Ewing, Theodore F. Weil, and James W. Demares, out of sugar to the aggregate value of $4322. This, it appears, is but a small portion of Rosed- thal's swindling. He obtained other kinds of goods from other parties inthe same way, to-wit: lessrs. Workum & Moses, for liquors worth $900; Gold- smith & Barnett, for liquors worth over $300; Pinckard, Steele & Co., J. M. Savage, Jonas Pickles and Mr. Robertson, for groceries, and F. M. Fisk, for cotton seed oil. It is estimated that the total amount of the swindle about town is about S$40,000. Rosenthal has been a large speculator in groce- ries, liquors, etc., having his store onthe levee, be- tween Customhouse and Bienville streets. Noth- ing but his good standing as a merchant could ever have enabled him to palm off his worthless notes upon so many people. His final operations, and attempt at escape from the city, are thus described by the Second District police: Having shipped all of the goods off in different directions and realized the cash upon them, Mr. Rosenthal closed up his store last week, and after sending notes to several of his heaviest creditors, stating that his life had been threatened, and he was obliged to leave New Orleans. He had his heavy black beard shaved off, and dressing in a red flannel shirt, cottonade pants and abandanna turban, he took pp his residence on the outskirts of Gretna, thinking to remain incog. until it was safe for him to leave the locality. Unfortunately for himself, he came over to the city on Sunday night, about 10 o'clock, and called upon Mr. Wenck, the lawyer, at that gentleman's residence, on Marais street, to ask some legal advice. Some person recognized him even through his disguise, and sent word to the Trdmd police officers, asking to have him arrested. Officer McKay went to Mr. Wenck's house and took Rosenthal into custody. He expressed no surprise or annoyance whatever, and asked Mr. Wenck to get hblm balled out. Mr. Wenck took a cab and sought the authori- ties to get bail bolds signed. I•l•enant Gastinel declined to release himn. Recorder Wis was over the Lake, and Assistant ecorder Benit was vi-it tog some fends Ir Alg•ere. The Chief of Police could not be'fomnd, nad Mayor Stith declined to terfere within Recorder Wilts's Jurldiction, who iwas known to be very decided glstsuocs prir- Ilega belage ra. fii ead lemmth oapt 1 , I Ie would have lft the city irniikestly, wl rdoub t.

TALK ON 'ORANGE.

It was rather quiet yesterday on the flags of rueCarondelet and environs until after meridian. TheMetairie grounds from this hour had the call; infact, it was the principal attractive feature of theevening's, or P. M. movements. Metairie had thecall three to one, and money was abundant on theRidge, discounts were free on certain nags, irres-pective of being in line, out of line, or above line.It was manifest, however, there were certain linesto go by, and which controlled large sums of themetalic. In fact, it was tolerably lively-KingCotton was not thought of after 1 P. M., the nagshad it. In the meantime, there was some talk ofthe immense concourse of people at present in thecity. We are crowded to excess. The Metairie isthe grand Meca. In the meantime, local mattersin general moved along very smoothly and calmly,excepting some talk about the fnancial market.Money is in considerable request, and, as usual, ismuch talked of.

It is now pretty certain that there will be notrouble from high water this season. The upperrivers are scarcely in bottable condition. Red andOuaohita rivers are falling rapidly, and possiblyconsiderable cotton will be detained from reachingmarket. Mdias n'mporte. We have a good show,say 2,010,089 bales at this port, with some excessto be added.

There was some talk that the everlasting in-genuity, industry and sharpness of New Englandhad invented a machine that would take all thedust, sand, leaves, and dust in general from so-called dusty cotton. We should not be surprised;therefore, we can only talk to planters: If youhave any dust and sand admixtures, they will com-mand 4i(5 eta. l lb ; if you have any clean andgood cotton that will class above Middling, it willcommand good prices, that is, from 11@12 and 121cts. ' lb. But if you have sandy cotton, you mustexpect to receive sandy prices for it.

Business on the lower levee shows a decline fromlast week. The gimlet rangers seem to think theclose of the saccharine trade for the season is ap-proaching. The dust and sun are getting rather un-comfortable at the grand depot. Many steamersare withdrawing from the sugar, as well as thecotton trade, going Into summer quarters. Thestocks of cotton, sugar and molasses, are all de-clining rapidly, and many buyers have completedtheir season's operations, and those from the greatWest, particularly, are awaiting to be present atthe great ceremonies on the 12th inst., the inaugu-ration of the Clay Statue.

Of course, we must have a little confab regard-ing the staple and receipts; and, in making up oursemi-weekly statement, we find that the receiptsat the seaports foot up 4,101,040 bales since the lstSeptember, as explained in fall by the followingfigures:RecipNt proeeer or nas at New Orlans, to 6 oelk

The Apalachicola receipts, for the week endingthe 31st ult., last Saturday, are not at hand. TheTexas receipts are thie heaviest, relatively, for theweek. The receipts over the Mississippi CentralRailroad, northward, will bring up at some of theAtlantic ports, and be brought in in the annualstatement at New York in August next.

We intended to remark on the nature of somedispatches forwarded from New York last month,to operate and influence the L mverpool market.Want of room, however, compels us to defer them,with some allusions to Col. Wrong's circular of the27th iut. The Colonel has evidently crept throughtile bull ring.

There is a manifest decline in the business on thelakes. The shipments of Western produce to fIo-bile, Florida and Georgia, are rapidly falling off;yet there is great bustle on some of our prominentstreets. Camp street is now the great centrality,every vehicle, from the vegetable wagon, expresswagons, butchers carts, drays, the new-fangleddraying machines in particular, public hacks, om-nibases, private carriages, cabs, horses, mules,Scows and goats, seem to have taken a particularfancy to our grand street. We sympathize withthe residents thereon, who are compelled to put upwith the dust, clatter, noise and shouts, from therising of the sun to the setting thereof. In fact,Camp street is the great race street of the day. Itis hoped the city officials will notice the hourly in-fractions of the ordinances relating to fast driving.

We alluded in our last talk to an order, due bill,or document of our late citizen, Macdonogh. It isa veritable duo bill, payable to his nephew, as wefstated, eight years after his death. The inquiry ish made, "when will the estate be settled ?" It wasP thought to have been closed a year ago. Thered will be a nice time for some of tie legal fraternity.

The mails came through yesterday as late asdue. Does Postmaster-General Holt intend to al-low Col. Marks any further assistance? If not, itis about time for our Chamber of Commerce andmercantile community to memoraline Congress ontile subiect.

AMUYIUSEMENTS LAST EVENING.

Capital entertainment was again served out tothe visitors at the Varieties, "The Invisible Prince,"with Airs. Jno. Wood as Don Leander, being re-peated. It is needless to say that Mrs. Wood con-firmed and strengthened the favorable impressionmade on Monday night. Our play-goers are prop-erly suspicious of the genuineness of reputationsacquired or got up in New York or otherwheres;but they are always ready to render to artists thejustice of their endorsement of their good deserts,if they approve themselves worthy. So it would bein this case if Mrs. Wood were an actress who hadjust risen to note-her fame would be endorsed andadded to. But she is no newly risen star, havinglong stood prominently in the ranks of the profes-sion, and displayed her merits in New Orleans yearsago in brilliantly successful engagements. She,with the other new accessions, now renders theVarieties most attractive with the light and fanci-ful entertainments which are to be the vogue of itssummer season. Previous to "The Invisible Prince"that farce called "The Young Widow" was done byMr. Davenport as Splash and Miss Susan Denin asAurelia. The latter was good, of course, and theSplash of the evening was tremendous, as a start-lingly vigorous and fantastically farcical perform-ance. The solo on the violin was very cleverly ar-tistic. Davenport is a fiddler of calibre, certainly.

The Walmbold Minstrels did not fill the St.Charles by much. Several members of the troupeare very good, and among all J. F. Walmbold isthe bright, particular star. He is a good burnt-cork artist.

The Rumsey & Newcomb minstrels had theirusual flattering quantum of visitors at the Amphi-theater, and entertained them with the very beststyle of Ethiopic performace.

FOURTH DAY.

Yesterday was a bright and pleasantly warmday, favorable to racing, but was too windy forits dryness, the consequence being an affliction of atdust, which distressed the entire city and sunburbs. coWe never saw a dustier day. The Metairie track, otoo, was dusty, in common with all other traveled croads. at

The dust, however, did not prevent the usualrush of the population to the Metairie. Gentle ofmen in buggles generally wore dusters; the ladies ccand their attendant gentlemen shut themselves upin carriages; great crowds turned up their noses naat the dust, and ripped ahead without caring for erit, whilst other crowds avoided the dust prettywell by taking the cars and the big omnibusees, rand by driving out the new Canal street shellroad, which is too new to be dusty for some time.

The scene at the race-course was as multitodi-nous and as gay and fashionable as on any previousday; the ladies being present again in great num. wher, and adding to their stand all the sweetnessand loveliness of a parterre of flowers. m

This day's sport appeared to be pretty well de- thfined beforehand. The race was for a Club purse thof $1000 at three mile heats. There were four etentries, it-wit: Mr. Doswell's Fanny Wash- 4inglon, Gen. Wells' UTndo J'ef, Mr. Kenner's LaVaridtd, and Col. Bingamin's Goddva.o The betting ctin pools the nightbefore showed Fanny to be the ,favorite, almost even against the field; Uncle Jeffranking next, and as high as the remaining twoput together; La VariBtI ranking third, and Godiva clast. On the quarter stretch, yesterday, Fanny c(rose to the dignity of being backed even against 01the field, with odds on her beating any named one tor two out of the other three. The opinion of IFanny seemed to be almost unanimous, for theoffers of her backers were not very quickly bitten atthat we could discpver. There was much betting mamong the friends of the other three horses. al

The race was well contested, and was remarka-ble for a slow heat and a very fast heat. We give wthe particulars:FrosT HEAT.-The animals, when stripped, look- fc

ed almost "sweet enough to eat;" all being in tip-top condition. A good start was made, all fourgoing off nearly in a bunch. The spread out tlshowed Fanny in the lead, with Jeff second, Go- ridiva third, and Varidtd last. They strung it in thisposition all through the mile, getting rather close faat the half-mile, and making a short chain of four rilinks in the last turn. As Fanny kept the lead allthrough the other two miles, winning the heat, we 31need only describe the passages at arms between oher followers. In the first quarter of the second rimile, Varidtd took the third place from Godiva, butdid not leave her to speak of; all three kept close oup to Fanny down the back stretch, and came near nbunching at the half mile; and after that, whilstJeff kept bravely after his fair leader, Varidtd and aGodiva kept side by side for some distance, as closeto Jeff as he was to Fanny. Coming home, Godiva aleft Varidtd and got by the side of Jeff. These two itchased Panny hotly home and into the third mile, aTaridtd bringing up the rear. Going to the quarterpole, Varidt got up again with Jeff and Godiva, aand whilst Fanny piloted as usual, these threepassed the pole in a bunch. This bunch opened in gthe back stretch, showing Varidtd in the second cplace, Godiva third and Jeff last. The stringstretched out wide; in the last turn Fanny actually Iran away from her followers, and won the heat, ithe easiest in the world, in the not very astonish-ing time of 5:431. aSErcOND HIEAT.-The backers of Fanny now offered

big odds on her against the field, and no takers.There was some miscellaneous betting among the tfriends of the other three. The bell-tap brought tthe horses up, all in excellent trim, and the drum- etap sent them off with a fair start, and at a crack-ingpace. Fanny, Jeff and Godiva went off abreast, tVaridtd not being more than half a length behind. IiThe first turn showed Fanny leading again, withJeff second, Varidtd third and Godiva last. They awent this way in a short string through the backstretch, and crowded together in the last turn; eFanny still leading, as she had all the time done tand still intended to do, and Jeff still her most de- tdoted follower. Dashing into the second mile,Godiva and Varidtd were joint partners in bringingup the rear. At the quarter pole Godiva washindmost. All were close together in the back tstretch, where Godiva went up and gave Varidtd Ianother brush. They kept close all the way haround, and Godiva was third to enter the thirdmile. In the first turn of this mile the crowd be-gan to open out. In the back stretch all made a cfinal and desperate effort to catch the coquettish cFanny; but it was "love's labor lost." Varitdfand Godiva, however, swapped places, and bothpassed Jeff-the position now being Fanny first,Godiva second, Varidtd third and Jeff last. Thesepositions were not changed to the end of the mile; call making a desperate run of it down the home tstretch, Fanny coming in handsomely ahead, andUncle Jeff barely saving his distance.

The friends of the favorite this time had thelaugh, and got some of their money back.Fanny's beautiful running, in keeping the leadthroughout the entire race, was a matter of muchenthusiasm among her friends; so also were the Ifriends of Godiva and Varidtf properly delighted and fnoisy over the defeat of Uncle Jeff, who had been tsecond favorite in the race, before starting. Thetime of the second heat was extraordinarily good;5:33j, or nine and a half seconds quicker than the Efirst heat. The race may be set down as one of Ithe gem contests of the present meeting. I

FROM NEW Mxico.-•The St. Louis Republicanpublishes a Santa Fe letter of the 13th ult., fromwhich we extract the following:

A rumor reached here yesterday, to the effectthat the Navajo Indians had captured five hundredGovernment mules from a camp distant only fifteenfmiles from Albuquerqe. These Indians, I under.stand, have been within ten miles of this place.e Active preparations are being made for the Navajocampaign.

The whole military force, with volunteers andspies, will start for the seat of war during nextmonth.

The Independence mail, with six back mails.reached here on Wednesday last. The conductorsreport that-not a single Indian was seen on theroad, although the Government is given to under-stand that no mail can come through without anescort.

DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE.

Important from Washington.WAisasw, April SThe dispatches received

at the Navy Department, from Captain Jarvis, thecommading offcer of the Gulf Squadron, enclosecommunications addressed to him by the officerscommanding the French and Spanish ships of warat Vera Cruz.

They inquire of Captain Jarvis under what lawof nations 10 captured the two Mexican steamersand sent them a prizes to the United States.

Captain Jarvis declines entering into any expla-nation of the matter, and refers them to his Gov-ernment for a reply to their inqunries.

The question, it is said, is likely to prove embar-raMing to the Government, from the fact that theynow aseert as a right what they emphatically de-nied to England, in the Gulf, two years since.

We should add that the exercises were openedwith proper solemnity by a prayer from the Rev.Dr. Palmer; also, that the promised alumni ora-tion, by Mr. P. Alexander, was not given, owingto that gentleman's unavoidable absence.

BLOODY RENCOvTREs.-We learn that a few dayssince a difficulty occurred between two young gen-tlemen of this city, Messrs. Fleytas and AdrienCassard, the cause of which was a disagreementon private affairs. The result was the stabbing ofMr. Fleytas in the left side, so seriously that fearswere entertained as to his recovery.

A desperate affray occurred about 8 o'clock onSunday night in John Thompson's oyster saloon,on New Levee street, in which a young mannamed John Doyle was stabbed in six places witha pocket knife in the hands of a man he only knowsby sight. Doyle says that in reply to some im-pertinent remarks, he told the man to mind hisown business, at which he was assaulted in a vio-lent manner, and during the fight was cut. Onewound was in the neck, another in the left arm,one in the lower part of the chest, and two in theright leg. These are not dangerous; hat another,which has penetrated his intestines, is a very se-rious wound. No arrests have been made.

THE BIG StLGAn Sw•NDLE.-We yesterday men-tioned that Z. A. Rosenthal had been arrested inthe Second District, and arraigned before the Re.corder on the charge of having, at different times,swindled Messrs. Samuel Ewing, Theodore F.Weil, and James W. Demares, out of sugar to theaggregate value of $4322.

This, it appears, is but a small portion of Rosed-thal's swindling. He obtained other kinds of goodsfrom other parties inthe same way, to-wit: lessrs.Workum & Moses, for liquors worth $900; Gold-smith & Barnett, for liquors worth over $300;Pinckard, Steele & Co., J. M. Savage, JonasPickles and Mr. Robertson, for groceries, and F.M. Fisk, for cotton seed oil. It is estimated thatthe total amount of the swindle about town is aboutS$40,000.

Rosenthal has been a large speculator in groce-ries, liquors, etc., having his store onthe levee, be-tween Customhouse and Bienville streets. Noth-ing but his good standing as a merchant could everhave enabled him to palm off his worthless notesupon so many people. His final operations, andattempt at escape from the city, are thus describedby the Second District police:

Having shipped all of the goods off in differentdirections and realized the cash upon them, Mr.Rosenthal closed up his store last week, and aftersending notes to several of his heaviest creditors,stating that his life had been threatened, and hewas obliged to leave New Orleans. He had hisheavy black beard shaved off, and dressing in ared flannel shirt, cottonade pants and abandannaturban, he took pp his residence on the outskirtsof Gretna, thinking to remain incog. until it wassafe for him to leave the locality. Unfortunatelyfor himself, he came over to the city on Sundaynight, about 10 o'clock, and called upon Mr.Wenck, the lawyer, at that gentleman's residence,on Marais street, to ask some legal advice. Someperson recognized him even through his disguise,and sent word to the Trdmd police officers, askingto have him arrested. Officer McKay went to Mr.Wenck's house and took Rosenthal into custody.He expressed no surprise or annoyance whatever,and asked Mr. Wenck to get hblm balled out.

Mr. Wenck took a cab and sought the authori-ties to get bail bolds signed. I•l•enant Gastineldeclined to release himn. Recorder Wis was overthe Lake, and Assistant ecorder Benit was vi-ittog some fends Ir Alg•ere. The Chief of Policecould not be'fomnd, nad Mayor Stith declined to
