They will all doubtless participate in the great ocean sweepstakes to come off on the 28th inst. The following sailing directions of the Negatta Com- | mittee will give the requisite information as to tue condi- _ tons of the race:— SAILING DIRECTIONS. The annual regatta of the New York Yacht Club will come off on Thursday morning, the 2d of Juno, at 10!; o'clock, under the direction of Messrs. Geo, L. Schuyler, Chas. H. Haswell and J, Howard Wainwright, Committee of Arrangements, There will be a prize valued at $150 for each class of yachts. The schooner sweepstakes will be a piece of plate worth $400. | The allowance of time sball be based upon the product of the multiplication of the extreme sevgth, on or uader the water line, from fore side of stem to aft side of stern post, by the extreme breadth, wherever found—both measures to be in fect and decimals. ‘The courses marked out for the sailing are as follows:— | | | A flagboat will be anchored abreast of the Cinb House | \ | at Hoboken, on the east side of which the sloops will au Chor, head to wind, in the following order of position, com- | Mencing from the stakeboat with those of the least nreas: The third class abreast of said siakeboat, eighty yards | apart, on a lino due east; the second class, ninety yards apart, on a line parallcl with the same,'two hundret yards to the north; and the first clase,one hundred yaras apart, on a simi'ar line, two huadred yards to ths norta of the latter. The ecboorers will anchor to the cast ward of the second and first class lines in the same order. Yachts may have their mainaails, or toresaile and main- sails, acgording to their rig, hoisted, and gaffiopaails wet; the committee reserviog the discretionary power, how. ever, of ordering all sails to be lowered before starting, or of adopting aby otber preparation for starting they may deem proper, should the weather or circumstances render a cbange necessary.

Halsey, the landscape painter, who died sudden!y on Tuesday night from the effects of intemperance. Deceased was much addicted to drink | On Tuesday night he returned to bis home jatoxicated, and in a few seconds after entoring the houra fell to the floor and expired. Deceased was a graduate cf Yale Colloge, was 36 years of age, and was a native of New York. He | was very respectably connected, one of his brothers being | caghier of one of our largest city banks. The melancholy | end of this artist should serve ag a warning to hun reds of hia fellow mortais in New York and olsewhere to beware of the baneful influence of the wine cup. Suspicion or Four Piay.—On Sunday week a mannamed Thomas Briton, residing in the rear of No. 231 Mott street, quarrelled with a neighbor named Thomas Campbell, when the latter, as it is alleged, knocked his antagonist down and kicked him inthe abdomen. The men were then separated, and nothing more was thought about the matter, The following Sunday Briton got into another fight in Elizabeth street, and was s0 severely injured that he was unable to go to his work the following morning. He continued to ke his bed until yesterday, when he died rather suddenly. Coroner Jackman was notified of the occurrence, and made the necessary preliminary arran; it for holding an in- quest today. The relatives of think that death above fights; but judging from the history of the case, and the result of the post mortem examination yoaterday, we are inclined to think that death was brought by natural causes. Suppen DeaTs.—John McGrath, a conductor on the Eighth Avenue Railroad, died suddenly, on Tuesday night, ‘at the store of John Grinnon, corner of Forth-ninth street. and Eighth avenue, from disense of the heart, It was supposed at first that deceased’s death had been hustencd by a blow received ina fight with a man named Charles Reed, the previous evening, but upon investigating the matter Coroner Gamble found that there existed no grounds for such a supposition, death having evidently been pro- duced by long standing diseare of the heart. Deceased was a native of Delaware, and 43 years of age. Tae ANNvAL Revorr or tHe RESIDENT Puysicran oF BrackWELt’s Istanp.—We have received a copy of the annual report of the Resident Physician at Blackwell's Island (Dr. Sanger) for 1858, giving a detailed statement of the operations of the department under the contro! of the above named officer, comprising the Smallpox, Alms- house and Penitentiary hospitals. During the year the total number of admissions was 4,141, an increaso, as compared with the report of the previous year, of 47 4-10 per cent; and compared with the five previou years, of 52 4-10 per cent. The total number o patients under treatment was 4,676, an increase of 1,418 over the previous year. Embodied in the report are carefully prepared statistical tables, classifying the various diseases treated, and the number, sex, age and intellectual condition and nativity of patients. It is, in short, an epitomized record of the year’s medical busi- ness, Some of the tables,are projected with a view to as- | certain precisely who and what constituted the largest share of recipients of the public obarities of Now York. The report, which is ono of great value, shows | but very little decrease in juvenile depravity. Dr. | Sanger, in his report for the year ‘1857, stated | that be found as a result of four years experience, | that 747-10 of the patients admitted into his department wore under thirty years of age; and the experience of ho | Past year verifies that remark.

TBE JOHNSON CONTRACT VIA NICARAGUA SIGNED AND SENT TO WASHINGTON--THE SERVICE TU UOMMENCB TN OCTOBER. ‘The contract for the transportation of the Callfornia majis via Nicaragua, under the bid of D, H.

Mr. White ie a substantial farmer, Mr. Grimes is a returned Californian, and Mr. Irving is eon of Judge Irving, and a | nepbew of Wastington Irving. sr. Johnson’s bid, it will be recollected, was at the rate of $236,000 per anuum, or $162,000 for the nine months from October 1, 1869, the date of the expiration of the present contract with the Paoama company, to July 1, 186’—the service to be semi- monthly, as at present, but the route to be via Nicaragua insteac of Panama. The service for the period mentioned, at the rate now paid the Panama line, would coat $741,187, showing a eaving of $579,187, excluding from the estimate the constwise service between San Fran- cisco aud San Diego, and between San Franclaco and Astoria, which latter is provided for in anothe™ | contract wiibout additional expenge to the Department. The inconsiderable sum for which the new contact »rs engage to perform this importan’ mail service will doubtless ex cite some gurprire; but it should be borne in mind that Secretary Casr, ina letter addressed to the Nicaragua Steamship Company , which was pnblished in the Hxrarp of the Sth uit, very decidedly assured the company that the administration would protect the interests of our citi- zene from avy arbitrary action on the part of Nicaragua With reference ty the Istamus Transit route. fv view of the complication of matters reepectiog the ‘Transit ronte, and the conflicting interests in that quarter, coneiderable surprise has been excited that the contracto ebould evem so certain that be can fulfli the obiigation® Which he has assumed.

ACTIVITY OF THE REVOLUTIONARY LEap- ERS OF THE WAR IN EUROPE. 10 THE KOITOR OF THE HERALD, The most important question regarding the ar in Eu- rope 18 now whether there is any hope ‘hat the war now raging in Italy between the powers of Austria, France end Sardinia, will be confined to the frontiers of Upper Italy, or, is it to be feared, that it will take moch greater extension, and become a general £ uropeaa war? The Emperor of France gave to the world tie solemn declarstion that his intention does net go further than to the deliverance of Italy from the Austrian influence and dominion. But in the meantime he speaks of the restitution of the European noti:nalities in general, and gives by these words not only hopes to the deliverance of Hurgary, but also of the restitution and vational constitution of the Roumainic end Sclave uations in cluded in the empires of Austria and Turkey. These | words and promises are corroborated not only by all we beer about the revolutionary movements now going on in the Denubian Provinces, in Servia, Bulgaria, Bosnia, and the warlike movements in the Montenegrio mountains, but aleo by @ moat interestiog fact, about which the news of Exrope has beep silent up to this moment, because there were good reasons not to give to such a fact an European publicity. Tt is well known that since four or five years, between the two greatest leaders of the Hungarian revolution, the late Governor of Hungary, Kossuth, and the renowned Gen. Klapka, there existed a political dissension, having ita eource in the personal characters of there two leaders: and in their political views. Now, by the intermediation of the Emperor Louis Napoleon, who bad about the 20th of March last an interview with Kossuth and Klapka in the Palace of the Tuileries, all differences between the Hongarmn leaders gave way to a most cordial entente: in comseq of which General Klapxa went directly to Turia, to take the command of @il Autirian soldiers, battalions or regiments, which | ip the course of the’ war should surreuder, be made | captives, or have deserted from the imperil rank ‘8; and Kossuth took upon bimeeif the care of revolutionizing the Southeastern portion of Hungary.

But read the extract:— | Idon’t think there is a place known here where a man can make or averaye over $2 60 per day with a sluice, | and by this you can judge how rich the mines are, as | | am aware you have had some experience in gold countries. | Untess betier digrings are found, J think any man who is | doing well in the States will regret the hour he loft and | came to this country to do better.

Untt! farmers come here to settle down, and find ready sale for their produce—provisions come down to.their proper value, bacon 8 to 9 cents per pound, flour $6 per sack, &c,—then, and not until then, will it pay any man to work. For a criterion, I will just retate how the poor devils that come in this spring are making their fortunes. Only | yester three men came up to me whore J was at | Work and applied for work.

Some little excitement was created in Markot squaro yesterday, by an individual who had juet ar- rived from Cherry Creek, and who gave out that he | bad six hundred doliars worth of the genuine yellow dust, right in his pockets, which he had brought direct from the Cherry Greek diggings. As there {sa smart sprinkling of skepticism upon this sub- ject, the crowd gal round in great numbers, eager to see the glittering stulf. They called on the gold individual | ‘with one to come out and show the dust, which he readily sesented to, drawing forth a goose quill par- | tially filled, saying:—“Here itis.’’ But, sid the multitude, | “there ia vo six hundred dollars wortb of gold.” With great noncbalance he of Cherry Creek replied: — “That is what it cost me, and by the time some of you get as | much, you will think this worth double that sum.” The | crowa of gold bunters left the scene in high disguet. ‘Messrs.

He owed them the to\dier’s Gearest reward—namely, action, and an oppor- tunity of distinction and promotion. Tus would be af- forded by a six months’ campaign against Anat: thought my interlocutor, although no Garcon, evides would suflce to accompiisa the work in hand, and achieve the independence of Italy. Another of the Ximperor’s stimulants to war was, be believed, a desire of military renown, as a means of congolidat- ing bis throne and his cynasty. “fe has already,” said my military acquaintance, “shown hamielf @ most able politician and stat-sman—let him prove himulf also @ greet commander, ari Pa pnd is secure in France if, inthe other hand, he should fail—if disacters instead of triumphs await him, me foi,” said the speaker, with a pont shrug, “i will be very unfortunate for im.” While discussing the Emperor's character and qualities, his sicuil in availing bimseit of every advantage ant means of popularity came upon the tapis, and in proot of it the following circumstances were adduced:—A‘ter the re. serve of the army was recently called out ia France, it Was discovered that the whole of it was not required, and accordingly a Jarge number ot soldiers, married men, and mon who had only three or four months to serve, were allowed to return to their homes. In the army, or at least by those military men who are in the habit of’ jook- ing a little further than the point of their sword, this was appreciated a3 a most judicious move. Tne govern- ment knew perfectly well beforehand what men would be required, and might have at once signified the exemptions afterwards made. Hut the Emperor preferred baviog all called out, and then, when there was lamentation m the land, he suddenly restored those who could least be spered. “In the town (a large provincial city) where I was in garrison,’ said the officer, ‘aout 300 men thas came back to families and friends who had bid them fare- well with heavy doubts whether they would ever see them sgain, You should have seen the joy and heard the Dleasings on the Emperor, and you would have judged, ag I do, that by that single move, seemingly unimportant, and which would pase unnoticed elsewhere than on the spot, he won no despicable amount of popularity.” I had been told at Genoa, a very few aays before, that an idea prevailed among the French that the war with Austria was but a prelude to one with Rogiand, but the officer whose ideas I have quoted waa evidently notof that opinion. Hi. nought that if Eagland would leave the Emperor alon od allow bim to faitit his self- allotted task of ridding italy of the Austriaus, he would then bo extremely giad to revert w a state of peace, and, indeed that it would be perilous to himself Wo attemp: a war of conquest and aggrandizement, for which France bas now no taste or desire. My acquaintunce had seen a good eal of service, and had been through the whole “rimean campaign, not without woucds and houors, and he expressed himeeif frankly, but very fairly, about the English army, stigmatizing as “ignoble” the maiadminis- ‘vation at she commencement of the war, and b' the plan of giving the soldiers money in a place where nothing but drink was procurable for it, instead of tak- ing means to suppiy m with nourishing food, and secing that they eat it and did not make away with it—bartering it i cizipg the faults of our system, he did full justice to the merits of our sokliers, aad he made one remark which although it bas nothing to do with the circumstances of the present time, struck me so much asto induce me to repeat it here. ‘The Evglizh troops,” be said, “are in- comparable for tenacity of resistance. I was convinced of wat at Inkermano, when the enemy were literally” among their tents, and when they defended themselves to the death, tome of them wiih no better weapons picks and shovels, Our men would not have done what would have given way. Bat E the English did there. “They if you have that great military virtue, you have grievous military defect, which ¥ om ane ‘scme reverses, ub at a steady pace and in perfect thins your ranks. You give them time to it a our ea he never to do. ve the cause of re Roe’ but, whether it was so or oon, thes wma in ee eee is one which we French are all about, and which you cannot too soon amend.” remarks, proceeding from an - who had icarnt to reapect our army while fighting by its side, appear to me well worthy of fet 4 pe and guiding principles of Freneh officers to be to render the men under their orders intelligent, self-reliant, and individually able to help themselves under ail emer- gencies, and to obtain rapidity of movement in masees; &nd it is the constant atiention paid to these objects that renders the French soldier so excellent a campaigner and #0 formidable an opponent.
