Her main peculiarities were a long, sharp bow, @ width wulcb was greatest two-thirds of the length from her siern, and saila which, in American hanis, were slwaye trimmed quite fiat. The object attained was, first, grotter speed with the same toansege and canvas; second, grater sta- wiry im the vessel—tha! is, an increased huid upoa the water; third, greater evennees ead equality of motion; fourth, greater powers of eadcrance in rough weather; and fifth, a aveadiness of motion which ene»led her ia nailing to keep closs to the wind, and joss but lice. looway.

THE YACHT SILVIE IN ENGLAND. Emocouraged by the success of the America, the yacht Silvie, belonging to Mr. Louis Depaa, of this city, was carried into English waters in 1863. Her peculiarity was, that though of nearly two hundred tous measurement, she drew only about four aud a half feetof water. By @ peculier arrangement, however, of centre ‘voards or sliding keels, which dropped b-iow the botiom to the depth of seven feet, she was rendered in stropg winds perfectly stiff, the boards dispensing of using shifting ballast Her feet long, her boom 72 feet; from bowsprit to the mast was 60 feet ‘ = . deck wan 80 feet; beam, 26 fest 6 inches; depth, 7 feet, aud draught of water 6} fect aft an’ 5.4 feet at the fore. The firet cost of the vessel was tv:mease, her original possessor having expended upcn her .pwaris of $20 000, J Under these circumsiances, and from the fact that no : cruft was expected on the other mde which had not given such proofs of her superiority as would justify the attempt to claim the championshi», great interest was emecited in the Sylvie. Her fine and peculiar Mines were much admired, being eatirely different from | the principles which had previously regulsted Fogle yacht building, but she sailed im only one race. \ Om this occasion she was beaten by the Julia by about the length of a bowsprit, but it is proper to add that there } was not wind enough to keep ber beets full, and it was ; 2 drift contest from begmning to end. Mr. Depad imme- f diately raised @ challenge flag to his masthead, and offered to sail & race for any amount, or even for the honer of the affair, but he failed to find a competitor. ‘Yhe Englishmen bed got « Yaukee beaten, aud they de- termined to keep him #0. No other race consequently took piace, Mr. Depau remeiced on the British coast 4 sbout two years, and thea returned with bis yacks to the United States. THE YACBT TRUANT.

This was a steam yacht of the lergest size, built ex: presaly for her owner to make s pleasure voyage im, and combined all the requisites to insure comfort asd safety which money could procure. She.left New York in May, 1853, paving on board s family party, consisting of Com. ‘Vanderbilt, his wifo, eighteen of his sons and soss in law, and caughters and dacghters in-law, besides his family physician and clergyman, with their ladics; and afters pleasant rum acroas the Atlantic touched first at South. ampton; from thence the party proceeded to Losdon, Liverpooi, Rome, Naplee, Leghoro, Florence, Copenhagen, Croustadt, St. Petersburg, Gibraltar—visiting, in fact, nearly all the prominent seaports of the Con:iment, and mapy of the interlor cities. The presence of a private citizen of the United States on such a maguiicent pleasure jsunt, attended by all the eurroundings of royal spiendor* naturally excited woncerment wherever he went, and ‘brougbout the trip the tourists were the recipients of bountitol hospitality. After spending three months in thin agreeable manner, leaving the impression wherever he went thit Brother Jonathan could “do some things as well a» others,” the Commodere tarned his adventurous prow homeward, dropped amchor on the 27th of Septem ber im New York bay, and shortly after had the satisiac- tion of seeing s record of the events of his pleasast jour- ney perpetuated ta a volume published by his pastor-— the first and only one of the kind, we are sorry to add— that has emanated from an American pea.
