We repeat what we stated yesterday, that the coutestants for the prize will start at 9 e’clock in the morning, the steamer Mount Vernon following them to Fort Washington, in order that the passongers thereon may have every opportunity to witness the stirring in- cidents. The last named vessel has been ex pressly chartered by the enterprising progec- tor of the Regatta, Mr. Wm. L. Jones, who has fixed the price of passage at the reason- able sum of fifty cents. The steamer will eel at Alexandria for passengers, both going and returning. A Regatta on such an extensive scale will be anovelty on the Potomac river; and hence it is reasonable to presume that theusands of persons will avail themselves of the opportu- nity afforded to witness the race.

A young man n:med George Beardsley wa jastice : his clothes were bloody, aud indicated that be had received 2 severe wound, and the bands and patehes upon his head denoting in what particular part ot his person. Several young women were sitti around, one of whom, Miry Heisster, wes charged with hav- ing infli_ted the wound. Mr Carrigan appeared as counsel for the defence. From the evidence it appeared that Beardsley bad entered a house claimed by Mary Uvisster her property, and thit he refused to leave when orlered from the prem- ises by her house-keeper or agent. Mt ary Heissler came in, aud a conflict ensued b+- tween her and Beardsley, in whieh bis head was cut, one perty says, with an axe; the other contends it was dons with a conch Justice Goddard held Mary Heivsler to eurity for peace.
