MORNING THE GREAT OCEAN YACHT RACE. ‘The Start Yesterday Marning—A Splendia Beeze and a Fine Day—The Ren Down the Bay—Besutifal Appearance of the Ficet —Pansig Southwest Spit—Magalfivent Moonlight Last Night, do. The more adventurous owners in the New York Yacht (Clab, who bad entered fer the scrub race round Long Island, look d forward to yesterday morning with great interest; and certainly their brightest anticipations were realized in the propitious day, which was one of the finest we have witnessed on a like occasion, while over- ead the sky was clear es crystal. A stiff, steady breeze biew from the soath southwest, suflisiently near dead abcad to neceesitate the dwplay of some seamanship. 1 ‘War a maiter of universal remark that it was » great pity that the appual regatta bad not been favored with s0 fue Qday. The shores of New York and Hoboken were well dotted with spectatore, a pretty large collection geshering near the Club House. There were fewer sailing oraft in attendance than usual, though the Irene and one or two ethers, with a fleet of rowboats, fitted about the starting ground like dancing fairies. ‘The following yachts were ready for the start:— a eee HL W. McViexer. W. A. Stevdins, . ‘ uy Kingsland, IG Bennett, Jr. R F. Loper. W. B. Daucen. S. W. Taomas. All the yachts entered were anchored near the fiag bost—the Undine and Favorite s little further north than the others, as if they did not intend to sail. The schooners lay hext the shore and the sloops towards the etream—the Una a little in advance of the Rebecos. At the nigihl of starting, at precisely. twenty minutes past fen, the jibs ran up like magic, the light anchors were weighed, aud the whole fleet,with the exception of tho Favori'a, which was some minutes getting under way, stood for the lower bay. The Una, from advanced Porition, took slightly the lead,’folfewed closely by the Rebecca, the Haz, Sylvie, Madgié; Minnle, Widgeon, and lastly the Favorita, their sails stiffened like so many doarde by the freab breeze. At first they seemed to sail slong as precisely equidistant as a columa of soldiers, but soon a sbarp breeze strack the yacht nearest the east, bending her over until ehe was obliged to give way to the wind; then the next, and the next, and so on. The whole cight towards the Hoboken shore took the slight squall, kee!- img them over at ac angleewith whicn the leaning tower of Pisa would be » poor comparison. The sloops kept their course for a while, the Rebecca paseing the Uns quick!y, and leading the van by « fine stretch. The schooners almost immediately tacked, avd fizally the whole fleet ene after another tacked and retacked, with the exception ‘of the Rebecca, which kept her course gullantly, an ati apd steady a8 @ man-of war’s-man, with her flying jib, jib, mainsail and topseil as tight as @ dram, cuitiog the water like aknife. As the fleet passed Jersey Cily the Rebecca was fully « half mile ahead; next came tho Usa, and, buta short distance apart, the Minnie and the Madgie; then, rather far beaind, came the Haza, closely hugged by the Silvie, which on the larboard tack nearly overhauled her. The Widgtom followed, and the Favorita was so far behind that tt was supposed she @id not intend to try in the race. Oo passing the Conard dock, the Britishers gave the fleet a salute of several gurs, which was duly acknowledged by the yachts cipping their colors and firing salutes in response. ‘The ficet went down the Bay in flae style, the Rebecca keeping the lead until a little below Governor's Isian4, when, on account ofa ship lying atanchor Interfering with course, she was obliged to tack,and the Una ‘was enabled tocome up with her, and at the vanishing point in the Narrows seemed to bea little ahead. The schooners were left rather behind, but were still led by the Haze, ‘The yachts engaged in the raco turned tho Southwest Spit in the following order:— BSBESa008 Schoorer Favorita, It will be seen that the Undine is not in the list. When who was entered it was expected that the race would come off at an earlier day, and in consequence of its hav- Ang deen Gxed for the 24th, Mr. Jerome was compelled, an we are icformed by the Secretary, to witharaw, bewg epgeged in making arrangements for his immediate depar ‘are for Europe. The Undine and the Irene accompanied ‘the yach's to the Southwest Spit. As the different boats turned that point to the eastward they hoisted their equare wails, apd with the wind fresh and fair, they all bounded away in gallant style, with every inch of canvass spread to the breeze. It was truly a magnifizent sight. To see so macy tiny hulls, covered with such enormous sails, put- Ling etraight out to sea, gave us an idea of yachting very digerent from that eoen this side of the Narrows. The sea ‘was not heavy, but there was a moderate sweil from the nouthward, pot, however, strong enough to impede their progress. Parting guns fromthe Undine and the Iroue, ae the outward bound yachts passed Sandy Hook, bid them God speed. ‘The rest of the yacht squadron are preparing for a cruire in Long Island Sound on Saturday morning, to meet and salnte the champions on their return from this trial Of speed and naatical skill. The sloop Una was ia charge f Mr. Cornelius Grinnell, in ocnsequonce of the sickness of Mr. Duncan. Among Mr. Grinnoll’s guests is Lord Riveredale, who will have « fine opportunity of seeing ‘Long |e and's sea girt shore aad the pretty pisces along the Sound, with the entrance to the East river through Hell Gate. The other yachts had cach two or three salt ‘water friends of the owner on board. As already stated in the Hrraun, the course will be through the Narrows, weatward of the beacon on Romer Shoals, around Montauk Point, through the “Race” south. cant of Execution Rocks, and westward of the Gangway ‘and Stepping stones buoys to the Throg’s Neck light If the yachts arrive at night, they will make themsclves knowa by means of rocket or gun signals. If the floe Dreezo of the start should continue, there can be no doubt taut the pan will be malo by to-day Salk ar to-aighs on the Long Island const it would be just the best breeze ‘that con!d be asked, and would take some of eur amooth ‘water sailors off their fest, and perbaps make them cast ‘up unwelcome accounts, It ie certainty @ credit to our city that so many of our yachtemen have been found willing to enter in the first great ocean yacht race. ‘The moon was out fail and bright Inst night, giving the contestants « splendidly illuminated race course, such ag ‘8 Soot of yachia never before had.

Movement of the Texeayers of Harlem, PUBLIC MEETING OF THE PROPZRTY OWNERS ON THE SUBJECT OF THE OPENING OF SECOND AVSNUB—TAB BALL 88T IN MOTION. On Wedneeday evening the taxpayers of Harlera almost universally responded to the cail for « public meeting at Little’s Hote), corner of Third avenue snd 127th street, to give expression to the rentiments of the people on the subject of the opeving o7 Second ayenue from 123d street to Harlem river. The meeting was not entirely composed of persons directly interested in the above named open- ing, bot the feeling in regard to the matter seemed to per- vado the breasts of all who owned & lot on the upper end of the island. The meeting was organized by the election of Heary Patterron, Exq., as Casirman, and Mr. Stephen Roberis as secretary, After a few touching remarks from the Ohsirman, in which be took occasion to strip some of the actions of cur city officials of their faise coloring, Maxceiivs Exits was called on, who rose im response, and addressed the meeting in substance as follows. He said — . We bave assembled this evening to discuss and consider one of the most remarkable laws, and the action under ‘thas law, that bas ever Deen passed by the Legislature of this State. foandation of the the Mr, E. here read the Ini Second avenue, and which owners of al) right Of objecting to asscasments or awards for that open- ing. He then stated the provisions of the constitution of the United States, which declares that fk ry mon deprived of his life, liberty or property due pro- cess of law, and due process of law certainly contem. 3 plated that the who was to have his propert; Bates rom bien id have a right not only to be heard, but if he showed that his pri’ taken from him, that be should have an absolute redress As the law to open the Second avenue deprives the citizen of all those righis, it is clearly an unconsti- tutiopa! enactment and voi4, and any acts done under it void aso. Now, ne B,letus the price allowed for land taken has been what it was worth for agricultural purposes, snd tha! is the jest standard, as mo land lying in any of the avenues can be legally used for any other purp2e; bot unfortunately for the persons to be assessed for this improvement, one of the largest owners of the property taken is a Judge of the Supreme Court, which body has the copdrmation of the Logo of the commissioners, aod aleo the allowance of their charges. This large award seems like a direct bribe cffered tothe Judge for his in- fluence to bave the report confirmed, but I undertake to say that the Judge in question will spurn fn Ba a and wil never consent to take an award, whi on its face will bear so dangerous @ construction. One party, who bas heretofore been the most strenuous in op- ition to opening this avenue, but who does not w, and who never did, own a foot of iand in said avenue, but is bounded by it, has an award of $4,800. This certainly can never be allowed. Tois was done through tbe mstrumentslity of one of those commis- sioners, who may take either horn of the dilemma, that bho cid it from corrupt motives or was grossly ignorant of his Guty under bis oath. The next point in this matter is the nian of this commission, some of which are as fol- we Hesry Beekman $960 Surveyor’s bill $4,652 . Dean 960 Room rent .. YP. W. Bo) 400 Copying report . E —And some other charges, making the sum total $11,- 080 55. This outrageous charge is the reason of the large allowsoce and astonishing spread of the assessment. I besrd s competent map maker and surveyor today offer to make the survey and mao for $100, The question may be asked: Who copied that and for doing it $1,300 Why did not the commissioners do that—is there another Judge here? These remarks might seem to imply @ doubt of the in- tegrity of the Judges of our Su e Court, but T do not intend eny such thing, only that they may woderstand that their acte are caneidered ag the only safeguard tothe rights of the citizen againet the encroachmants of the Le- gisiature or robberies under the guise of law by com: missioners sppointed to open our streets and avenues. When the ermine of justice falis upon shoulders less pure than Itself, and public confidence in our Judges is de- atroyed, there will quickly be an end of republiran gov- ernment, the bayope; will rule in place of Y may opinion, and private rights will see protection un: the arm of the one man power. A e, independent an: \ncorrovtidle jodiciary can save us ut the con- firmation of the report in Ca the ciroam- copfidenes in our courw of ) sidered, do not sen it back to that Bosrd of ere; we krow one of them well. the commissioners have actod is uncoostitutional let it bs 80 declared at ogee, but do not reed the revort back to the present Bosra for ration.

In EDITION—FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1858. the meantime the committee of New York Virginians were in session im an a‘joining room of the City Hall, and the Common Council Committee being desirous of knowing their views before they would conclude their own meeting, delayed their proceedings in order that an opportunity would be afforded for making them known. Jt was soon announced, however, that the committee of Virginians would be present immediately, and then Alderman Adams, as chairman of the committee, moked if apy military officers were desirous of being beard, and stated at the same time that they had now an opportunity of speaking in reference to anything con- nected with the subject now before the committee. Licutenant Colonel Lerrears, of the Seventh regiment Nationa! Guard, said that be had consu'ted with his corps on the subject of accompanying the romains of the de- ceased President Monroe to Richmond, and has ascer- tained their sent'ments regarding the matter. Meetings of the regiment have been held, at which he was present, and they resulted in showing that a majority of the men are anxious and will be reaijy to accompany the rematos to Richmond, The members of the other commitice now entered the room, and the chairman of the committee in seasion said he was anxious to hear what they or any of the relatives of President Monroe, who bad been present at their meet. a bad to lay before the committee. “AMUEL L, GOVERNEUR, £00-in-law of President Monrose, then rose and delivered the following address: — MR. CHAIRMAN AND GENTLEMEN OF THE CoMMITTER— I trust that there is no man who can doubt that the family of Mr. Monroe have heard with deep sensbihty of the honors that the Common Council, the military and the citizens generally of New York bave contemplated conferring on the memory of lous relative, James Monros. Sir, we have ly impressed by bearing of these intentions, and more 60 when we recall to mind the aseociations of tormer daye, for we feel that the present expression of feeling is ovly the re-echoing of those that were exoressed up the cocasion of and after his death in New York, I know teveral of thore who followed Mr. Mouroe to his tomb, and also that they can bear testimony thet the re- mains were honored by tne people of New Yorks in a manuer tbat was never surpassed. By this the people of ‘this city did honor to an illustrious American, to James Monroe as a statesman, as President of the Union, and they did horor to Virginia, the }and of his birth. When we wok him to the grave we left him there for s time, anti- cipating that the State of Virginia would goon recall the remains of her son to bis native State. Under theimpres- sion that thie would be done, I myself placed this simple inecription on his coffio, which may be s:e2 and read, if tbe vault is opened, tothis day: namely—‘James Monroa, of Virginia.” That, gentlemen, is the name he bore while he lived; that was the pame be was known by when he died, ‘and that ig the name that marss his teaement in the tomb. Now, gentlemen, I am about to stats to you, calmly and fravkly, what have been my views from the commencement on this matter. 1 am aot insensible to the remarks and feelings which, through time and waut ofa proper knowledge of the real character of James Monroe, bave grown up adverse to the honor ef his memory, But Ibave felt that this was the mau who was to meas a fainer, in my early days—the one to whom I was then mtet s'tached—that be had been the father whose daugh- ter 1 bave married and whose memory | would cherish; ‘m short, gentiemen, | telt that same feeling that any one of you would feel if you kuow that pps om were to carried from one place t another, On the oocasion of the present proceedings im rejation to Mr. Monroe's entiemen, my fesiiogs hsve been I do fee! that I would like to see the ceromo- nies carried out {nm the manner the Common Oounci! have propored, with the exception of the removal {rom the buryipg place where be now lies to some building in the city, to be afterwards named. In accordance with the simple habite of James Monroe himself, this first partctthe ceremony should be done with all possible quietness and witaout the most rem xe approach to osten- tation.

The public life of James Monree is written in the hieto- ry of his country. The events of his private life—fow ears indeed—are known to afew surviving friends.

Viovent Asaavur Uron a Critp.—A complaint was pre. ferred a fow days since (Tuesday, the 16th inat ) before Justice Steers, of the Kxsex Market Police Court, against Joreph W. Matber, Principal of Public Schoo! No, 20, in Chryatie street, near Delancey, charging bim with baving inflicted violent flaggel'ation upon Ldwin Fowler, a boy of twelve years of age, and one of tue pupils in atten tance upon the school. ‘The testimony of the boy bimeelf was to the effect that the boys were cue aliernoon gong down the stairs of the echoo) and stamping, and that he slso was etanping with them ; that Mr, Jackson, the under teacher, called thom back apd put their names on the black boart. Etwin Fowler then threatened to tell the trustees, and Mr Jack- son reportea what be had said to Mr. Mather, the princi pal,*and the boy was flogged next day by Mr. Macher, with ® rattan, in the presence of the wnole class, and mace to 0 down on bis kneee and apo ogize to Mr. Jackson. Der. £. the crose-examination the boy said Mr. Mather struck him once as be was about to kneel, and that the blows pained him a good dea. One or two other witnesses gave corroborative testimony as to the sppearance of the boy the day after the floggicg, and stated it as their opinion that the punebment was too great for the offence. The investigation was subsequently acjourned to the 224 in- stent, when it wea reeumed ; but a question havicg arisen as to the propricty of excladivg certain school boys and other witnesses from tho room during the examination, the ruling of the Court was not deemed satiafacory by Mr. Banks, tho attorney tor the prosecution, and he there fore stated that he declined to proceed further before that tribunal. It was subsequently intimated that any farther investigations in this cage would be proceeded with before some other jurisdiction. New Sovurners Terzorarn Live—Repvorion or Tous. — The American Telegraph Company, owners of the wonder- fal Hughes’ printing telegraph instruments, baye just opened the first seciion—between this city and Philadel- phia—of their seaboard line to New Orleans, via Washing- ton, Charieston, Mobile, &c. The line has been placed under the euperintendence of W. P. Westervelt, Esq., long and favorably known ag the Superintendent of the Mag. netic line between this city and Washington, and the re ceiving department has been placed under the direction of George Stoker, Heq., recently occupying a similar posi tion in the office of the Magnetic Compan; le man who hes to suoerior in the particular aod a department essigned tohim. We understand that the line has been thrown open to the free use of the public for a few days, and all who choose bave an opportuuity to inspect the ex traordipary machines, and at the same time can talk to their friends in Philadelphia two or three times as fast as they could communicate by writing. The office in this city is at No. 8 Merchants’ Exchange, Mesers. Smith and Cum, will, we a1 to answer all inquiries. We alao uaderstand that the comesny intend to ix upon a minimum rate of tariff ma. terially lees than through the combination of the tion entered into some two or three years ago, and which we then predic\ed would eventuate to the great injary of the lines concerned. the minimum charge for deepateh from New York to Philadelphia was twouty cents, but for two or three years past the old lines have manded fcrty cents—a rate higher by more than 100 per cent than is usually charged upon the lines atthe ast, North or West. We understand thatthe American Com- pany intend to extend their line South witboat delay--an enterprise which cannot fail to meet with the active sym. ney. and cordial support of all who are in favor of rea- le tolls, courtesy, anda much improved system of telegraphing. Comratition To Te GouvaNRUR Street MaRKET—The far- mers and bucksters have made application to the Common Council to permit them to sell from their wagons at the foot of Gouverneur street, in the vicinity of the market A rerolution passed the Board of Aldermon granting such rmigeion, and the matter is now before the Board of men. There is much complaint the ca- itwohel id prices are at least ten per cent higher than in the poate tency Pye The Mot proper cad ‘absence of a healthy competition pored to Teaton of this difference in "Hlonoe hat pediers of all kinds are in Rig arr in the upper wards among the poor, as tend to keep down ‘There is no question but that the proper system of mar. keting is to bring the producers and consumers as near together as possible, without the intervention of specula- tors apd middlemen, and if the city anthorities could af ford facilities for the sale of produce by the farmer direct- ly, it would be ten to fifteen per cent of the Income of the poor saved. Let the farmers have achavce at douverneur atreet market and every other market in the city. Sr. Joun's Day.—The 24th day of June is supposed to be the natal day of 8. Jobn the Baptist, and as the Masons claim that saint as one of their patrons, they make a polat ‘of having a celebration to commemorate the event The traditions of arene Rot, unfortunstely quite clearas to whether StJohn tho Evangelist or St. Joha tho Baptis: was the true , but to make sure of haviog it all right, tbe enpiversary of the birth of both these salute is commemorated appropriately by the mystic brotherhood that of st. Jobp the Baptist takes place on the 24h of Juce, and that of St. Joho the Evangelist on the 27th of Decom ber. There has been no demonstration of the masses in this city, but tho inhabitants of modern Athens bad a good time yesterday, growing out of a visit pait the Masons of Boston by an encampment of Richmond (Virginia) Knights Tawpiars. The Virginians will be in this city to-morrow (Saturday), on their way home, and no doubt wil! be wait- ed upon by some of our city Masons.

PART SBCOND, The reactionists baving now become masters of the capital of the republic ant possessed of the large amouns of military stores which had been collected there, and also being rupplied with money—the sinews of war—by the clergy, immediately set to work to raise an army for the purpore of imposing the reaction upon the severa: States of the confederation by whom the retrograie sys tem had been unanimously repudiated. The States of the interior in the moantime had ga thered togethor the federal army, or rather the army o the coalition, between Guansjuato and Queretaro. The States of Vera Cruz and of Guerrero called ou} the Na ional Gusrd to servo in the line, the State of Osjax0 wa i open arme to reaint the Spaniard Cobos, who bad invaded their territory, an¢ gained possession of the principal! port. of their capital; and at the same time, in the north, New Leon, Coabutla ard Taman)’pes were joined together, an were organizing Weir armies to make ovad against th Teactionets, Geveral Parrodi, who bad been appoinied General in- cbief of the army of the coalition, thought proper 0 eom- mence bis military operations by laying si to the city of San Luis Potosi, waich bad acknowled, Ar pe and accoroingly be marched upon the city, at the fe brigade of 1,500 men, leaving the main body of his troops stationed Detween Queretaro and Goanajiato and On arriving opposite San Luis de Potosi, after baviog re- conneitred the positions of the enemy, ne was making preparations to attack them, when information which he received tpforming bim that the troopa of the reaction- inva were Degiouing to marca out ofthe city of Mexioo, obliged him to put off the attack and to march back upon the main body of his army. The troops of the reactionists which marched oat ital, directed their way to foiucs, which city they entered without meeting with any resistance, the Governor, Iturbide, and General Langberg having retired from before them with the email garrison whic! der their orders.” A few di gades of the reactionists, wbich were mended to make the campaign in the interior, began to march o:t of the city of Mexico, the # distance from each other, making twrards Queretaro, where jt was intended to have their headquarters. In the meantime the army of the coalition, cousisting of the troops of the States of Queretaro, of Guansjasio, of Aguas Calientes, jiec0, Zacatecas and Michoacan, bad collected together at Celaya, a town siuated neween Queretaro and Guansjuato, where they remaiaed in a state of perfect inaction, thereby losing the opportunity of de- feating the brigactes of Zuloage in detail, wnich #ero sepa- rated at long intervals from sack other, and which might easily have been attached one, by ope, on tae road between San Juan del Rio and Queretaro. As soon as the reactionary trooos were united at Quere- taro uncer the command of General Unoilos, they com- menced their march im the direction of Celaya, in the early part of the month of March. The army of the coati- Yon, which was posted io a most commanding situation, and which comman tea the Bridge of Leja, which hed been fortified, abandoned this advantageous post on the ap- proach of the evemy, and felt back upon Seiamence. ‘Osolics Immediately followed them to thet place, and on the 1(th of Merch attecked them. He won tue victory, Partly owing te tbe disorder into which the troops of Zaca- tecas fell, and partly through the death of Colonel Ualteron, who fell at the momen! in he waa executing a decisive charge at the bead 6 cavalry; and chiefly wrough the bad conduct of t rer of Guansjuato (Doblado), who commanded the troope of tha’ State. The battle having been lost through these causes, inas- moct af now there was no unity of action between the > commanders who survived, nor aay mataal Coniltence detween (nem, the troops of Zacatecas, now oomsiterabiy, diminished in Dumber, marched back to thair own Suate. Those of Michoacan did the seme, and Dodiado, with all the troops whicd were under his commaad, surrendered to Orollos, Parroc! was left with about two thousand men, out of an which the cay before bai numbered eight thousand, and be retrea‘ed precioitately to Guadalajara, being followed close upon his heels by Osollos. As soon ks the Gisasirous defeat of Salamanca was Kpown at Goadalsjara, Lan: teer who commaod- ed the guard: o , in which President Juares and bis m.nisters resided, bar Deen gained over by the clergy, pronounced in favor of Zuioaga, on she 13th of March, and made prisoners of the President aud of all the persons who compored the federal government. Landa then, in order to augment bis forces, opened the prisons, ard gave liberty to 660 criminals who were Imprigeped {n the jail of the town, aad armed thea. Tals infamous procedure produced the greatest indignation among the imbadivants of the city, who rose en masse and attacked the rebels, de¢rmined upon takiog he palace dy main force, and restoring the government co liderty, as well as chastising she arthors of the rebelling. Aftertwo days’ herd fighting, ao agreement was catered into wita the rebe's, chiefly for the wake of saving the to snd of ger to posed, by which ag’se- ment !t was arreoged that Lanta and the revels should in pronouncing, and thatthe memiere of Une goveraimeat ) a members of the goverament should be restored to liberty. While matters were ‘a this condition at Gaadalejara, Parrodi arrived, with Osol/os following clase behind nim. {% was then arranged that the city should be for- apd « stand tsken, and it was also re- volved ‘shat the government shoul leere the plese and go to Colima, which it wae tnozght would be a of greater security for tne determination the Presicent and his exception of Parrodi, who was the Minister of out for Colima on the 20th of March.
