ANOTHER ADVANCE IN FIVE-TWENTIES, &e., &o. &e. Haxirax, June 7, 1865. ‘The steamship Africa, Captain Anderson, from Liver- pool at ten o’clock on the morning of the 27th, via Queenstown on the 28th of May, has arrived at this port. ‘Her dates are two days later than those already received. The Alabama Sensation. In the House of Commons on the 26th ult., Sir J. ho ad asked Lord Palmerston whether the government had received from the United States any formal official demand for compensation to American subjects for losses the: or any other Confederate by the: Alabama, cruiser alleged to have been equipped in British ports. Lord Patugrston said idence had been ing on for some time between the two governments on the Alabama, and other vessels of She prizes taken the same kind. ere had been received within the last fow days further correspondence on the subject through Mr. Adams; but there had not yet been time to reply to it. He might add that in that correspondence, in which each government had stated its views of the case, the had been discussed in the most friendly and amicable terms. COMMENTS OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. The London Timer, in an editorial, trusts that there is Bothing in the Alabama affair which need cause appre- of rupture, either now or at any future time. ‘The American commercial marine has, indeed, suffered ; ‘Dut such a calamity must be expected when a maritime and trading State enters into a contest with an energetic and active enemy. It is with a clear conscience that the ernment, which declined cvery invitation to interfere in the war, even by offers of mediation, now stands on its Jegal rights and refuses to make any compensation where tt has done no wrong. ‘The London Daily News hopes that it President John- gop does not intend to give up the claim he will soon fer it, 80 that one way or the other the matter may be it to settlement. It adds:—Lord Palmerston’s re- ly last night was very unsatisfactory. very to say that a formal L yovernment, or that it had not. The News ‘some member of Parliament will insist upon know- whether a definite demand has been made for in- ity, and whether any new demands have been since President Johnson’s accession to power, and :— "We have not the slightest doubt as to the don Morning Post that the correspond- to only one result, namely ¥ fasal on our part to indemnify 1 the losses occasioned by the chances of war. ‘The London Times, in another editorial on these claims, that “Not a single precedent can be luced, we believe, for the allowance of a similar claim under simi- Jar circumstances, and no rule of natural justice enjoins ‘us to pay for the mischief done by the Alabama.”’ The ‘Times questions whether the American government did ‘their duty with adequate vigor against these privateers, and says that “It was doubtless our part to prevent ‘the Alabama and her consorts from putting to sea if due evidence of their warlike equipment could be obtained But whose part was it to capture after they had given us the slip? As it was, the United States government pre- ferred to employ ali their available fleet in biockadin, the enemy's coast, leaving us to guard every outlet o} our own as best we could Surely it Would be somewhat unreasonable as well as untenable in law to Dold us liable for every case in which the Confederate gente were too quick for us. For those British subjects ‘who did all in their power to thwart the honorable in- tentions of the government we have not a word to say; Dut their acts were not the acts of the nation, which has far more than individuals have gained by the ‘untoward escape of the Alabama,” THE OPINION OF LA FRANC! La France says that the French and English govern ments feel no disquiet. Both have observed towards the United States the policy of conciliation. They have not ceased to receive from the States the most moderate declarations, and they have no reason to believe that any untoward events will occur to alter their friendly relations. The Capture of Jeff. Davis. aE g z i Ly ‘The news of the capture of Jefferson Davis created fome sensation and anxiety, and the hope was generally expressed that he would be treated in no vindictive spirit. ‘The London ‘Timer (city article) says:—The Sootia’s nows caused considerable anxiety. Politically it was con. sidered favorable. The poseibility of a dispute with Mex- ico, England or France, ona demand for extradition in the event of Jeffereon Davis having escaped, has been definitively extinguished; but the public will await with extreme interest the news as to the spirit in which he is Hkely to be dealt with—not merely from its bearing on the few remaining years of the life of an individual, but because of the effect it must have op the national repu. Yation for future generations. Those, however, who know the American character best, and who are nware that, except under sudden excitement, they are among the most peaceable people in the world, have little fear of the resuit. The London Inder, before the news was received of the capture of Mr, Davis, continued to uphold the rebellion and talked of a now war in Texas, Louisiana and caused by the government of’ Prevident Joln- Arkansas, ton driving the Southern people into extremities. COMMERCIAL EFFECT OF TIE NEWS. ‘The rebel loan has fallen to 7 a 9. Mesers. Barings’ circular says:—Businees in five- twenty bonds has been active, arising from purchases x, epee and sales for that of the Germans and itch. Proposed Joint Action for sion of the Slave Trade. In the House of Commons, on the 2ist ult, Mr. Baxter asked Lord Palmerston whether, in looking at the changed aspect of affairs in America, her Majesty's ernment, either separately or in conjunction with favor the United States, would consider the propriety of sending a squadron to the coast of Cuba to effectually terminate the slave trade? Lord Patamneron said that twelve months ago the gov- ernment invited the government of the United States to pate in ite measures on the west coast of Africa, t difficulties arose on account of neutral and bellige Fent righta, which could not be overcome; but in the op altered state of things her Majesty's government renewed the application to the United States, stating that their cruisers employed in that service would be re ceived with every privilege and cou! which belonged toa + ge | nation, and that former diffieulties no longer existed, No representation had been made as to co-ope ation on the Cuban const, but if they assented to co-ope- Fate on the African coast he had no doubt they would also cordially co-operate on the coast of Cuba, Resignation of Prince Na: Lowpox, May 5 ‘The Emperor Napoleon has written a letter to Prince Napoleon strongly censuring bis conduct in Corsica He ways the First Napoleon iahed a severe disctpline in mperor the army, and then in his government. The ine future be will not deviate from the same says io course. Lonpon, May 28, 1866, Prince Napoleon has resigned his post in consequenco 6f tbe Emperor's letter. The London Globe says the Prince is censured for his democratic views generally, but more particularly for ‘Miering hostile sentiments on the Emperor’s American potiey.

Regatta—A Fine Day’s Sport and a Splendid Display of Yachts, &c. ‘The eighth annual regatta of the Brooklyn Yacht Club took place yesterday from the club house, Gowanus Bay. ‘The weather was most propitious for the yachtsmen, and the result was an excellent day’s sport, unattended by any of those accidents which frequently tend to mar the pleasure of excursions upon the ,water. The new and commodious steamer Magenta was chartered for the ex- clustve use of the club and invited guests, while these less favored had to pay for the privilege upon an ante- diluvian craft formerly running between New York and Staten Island as a ferryboat, commonly known as the Huguenot, About one thousand persons in all, perhaps, comprising the elite and beauty of the City of Churches were congregated on board of these steamboats, as they swung from their moorings at Fulton ferry and started for the club house in Gowanus bay. The boats commenced their preparations for starting as early as twelve o’clock, but it was near one o’clock—the ap- Pointed hour for the start—before they were all got into line. The second class sloops were ranged first in line, behind tnom the schooners, and behind these the first class sloope, jibe down and all supposed to be at anchor, ‘The course, as Jaid down by the committee, was from a stake boat in Gowanus bay, to a stake boat off Coney Island Point, thence to buoy No. 9 at the tail of the west bank, turning the same to the westward and then back to the point of starting; distance twenty miles, , THE START , took place at one o’clock precisely, the emall sloops leading, followed by the schooners, and the first class sloops bringing up the rear in fine style.

S eceence $"sesbsss) BEB 85 10:50 17:00 The wind, which had been blowing a gentle breeze from the southward all the morning, suddenly hauled a little to the eastward and increased in force as the yachts started on their errand, and sent them skipping over the bay at @ rousing rate. The second class sloops especially were suited as far as the weather ‘was concerned, and soon left their larger competitors far behind. They took the lead from the word go, and steadily maintained a foremost position in the race until all was over. The wind being dead ahead, the boats were compelled to ‘beat’ down through the Narrows, @ maneuver which involved some nice points in sailing, and gave the best seamen a chance to make up for any deficiency there might be in the model of his craft. THE NARROWS. The Magenta came to off Fort Lafayette, for the purpoee of giving the passengers an 0; a nity of witnessing the various manmuvres the chtsmen, as they endeavored to weather Coney Jand Point, distant about two miles. The Hu- guenot, owing to an oversight of the pilot, got aground in Gowanus Bay just before the start, so that her passen- missed this part of the race, and were greatly incensed in conseqnence. In going out of the Narrows the Non- parei! took the lead, followed closely—say at a distance of a hundred yards—| ae Nameless and Martha, The Jennie Cable and Mollie, of the first class sloops, came next in order, followed by the Dolphin and Restless, ‘Then came the Edna C., of the schooner class, followed by the Quickstep and’ Mystic, and a host of outside yachts hailing from the New York, Jersey City, Hoboken and Americus clubs, CONEY ISLAND POINT ‘was rounded at two o'clock by the Nonpareil, the Name- Jess following thirty seconds after her. The Martha and Hector came next, followed by the Nancy, Jennie Cable and EdnaC, The stakebont was passed in gallant style, and the boats getting a little more sheet they fairly flew ovor the water in the direction of the West Bank, at the tail of which was established the outer stakeboat. Be- tween the Nonpuariel and the Nameless the struggle was a most beautiful one, and will long be remembered those who had the pleasure of being present. It was six of one and half a dozen of the other between these two boats all the way down, and it was evident from their manner of sailing’ that they would reach the stakeboat far ahead of their competitors, On this stretch the wind freshened somewhat, but before the stakeboat was reached it suddenly lulled and hauled to the southwest, upsetting the calculations of a number of the yachtsmen who were edging up to windward in anticipation of the wind remaining unchanged, and thus found therwselves froma mile toa mile aud’a half to Jeeward. The sea commenced to rive about this period, and it was evident that the Nonpareil was laboring somewhat, while her antagonist, the Nameless, stood up to her work well,’ and gradually ’ commenced to close the gap. At this juncture the boson, to finding that the Nameless was likely to get to windward of her, undertook to make a short tack, when she misstayed, and lost such headway that the Nameless was up to and ahead of her before the error could be rec- tifled. However, the Nonpareil made it up afterwards, and swung around the outer stakeboat at the same mo- ment with her rival. BUOY NO. 9, at which was stationed the outer stakeboat, was rounded the Nonpareil at 2:32:40; the Name- less at 2:32:40; the Hector at 2:39; the Martha at 2:42, and the Nancy at 2:44:30, ‘The Black Hawk, Jennie Cable, Kdna ., Mollie and Restless followed in Geiek succession, but the rest of the yachts were several miles in the rear. A number of the slow ones, including the Quickstep, Isaak Walton, Unknown, Oceana, Entre Nout, Sophia, Nellie, Aurelia and Echo hauled out before passing the outer’ stakeboat, and ga up all chance of distinguishing themselves by winning a prize, THE HOMESTRETCH. Up to this period the management of the committee who had cl of the Magenta was excellent, but after this it was bad—decidedly Instead of remaining in the neighborhood of the lower stakeboat until nearly all the yachts had passed, as is the ‘custom, the bow of the steamer was headed for the Narrows, and with all possible speed the members of the club and their friends were hurried away from the race ag if the Stone- wall or some other rebel privateer had suddenly appeared in the offing. The consequence was that those on board the Magenta were deprived of the most exciting and, to our mind, the most important feature of the regatta, and did not catch a glimpse of the boats oy Ae rounded the home stakeboat, The only excuse for th: eccentric mode of procedure offered by the chairman of the committee was that the judges were anxious to reach x op gooey in season. pit promptness in reone, and especially in ju an other dignitanes; but to hurry the adios’ and anon away from the race in this manner, and then them idle in the wy bay while there was so much to be seen outside of the Narrows, was running the thing into the ground. In future we would s that the judges should be left behind or furnished with some other boat than that set apart for the members of the club and their guests, and thus avoid any repetition of the annoyance of ‘The yachts rounded the home stakeboat in yle, and cheer after cheer went up from the decks of the vessels which dotted the surface of the water for miles Around, a8 each contestant passed the goal, First came the Nonoareil. then the Marta which overhauled and Sve ia te peer regu- lation.

Several fine new yachts, heretofore described in the Hmrato, are nearly completed, and some will be ready to enter the lists at the next regatta, THE TURF. Paterson Races—Second Day. The attendance at Paterson yesterday was tremendous. ‘The New Yorkers turned out in such immense force to witness the steeple chase that the working power of the Erie Railroad, with its wide gauge, large engines and hundreds of commodious passenger cars, was almost in- sufficient to carry them to the course, At the samo time the fine turnpike and plank roads were lined with long rows of vehicles, all hurrying towards the scene of the fence and timber jumping. It is diMcult to form an estimate of the numbers on the ground when al) had assembled, Every inch of space on the various stands ‘was fully ocoupied, and there was a great deal of trouble in finding seats for the ladies, Never since the great races between Eclipse and Henry and Fashion and Boston have such # multitude of people come together fon a race course in this country, and the great respectability and courteous behavior of all were subjects of general re- mark, The great attraction wae, unquestionably, the steeple chase, in which four good horses had been entered, and four bold, game and capable men were to ride, The course Jaid out for them admitted of no baby-play, There were several stiff hurdles, post and rail fences, two stone walle, & jump down a bank, @ leap over an earth mound, a double post and rail fence, and a hurdle with a fourteen foot water jump, close to the stand. These were all to be taken three times. As we walked over the course, prior to the start, we found much speculation going on as to how many falls there would be. Offers wore made to lay money that cach horse would fall before the race was over, and taken—the bets, of course, being on each of the horses separately, Meantime the jockeys weighed, one after the other, and still the people came by thousands. The time for the start arrived; but the cry was “still they come,” and some delay was abso- Jutely necessary to enable them to get inside the course, ‘The railroad agg oo) having filled and despatched all their passenger cars, had recourse at last to the freight ge | Stock, anda vast number reached the course by thi means at the last moment, We think when the wore saddied and monnted and came to tho post there moans oe cr all fence, » was & post an which was cleared nicely by Zigzag first, but was refused afterwards the two next followe! who uh and it banasomely?a8 did also Charley Riley, ‘who was fourth. now to ascend a hill for a stone and went over that prettily, ‘Zigzag first, Nannie Craddock second, Charley trig oe Maid of wa fourth. ‘They swept around the hil! spond the Pm! en had CH down sae ‘Zigzag leadin, of Ottawa seco: Crad third, urth. They were now on the level, going down inside of the backstretch, where a stone wall was met and eleverly cleared by all, leading, the Maia next, close up to him; then mtaeas Geeadock followed by old Charley, who did not seem to felish the jumping at all. around the lower part of the course they came to a large mound, and this was beautifully jumped by all the hoi without a balk. The horses now turned and faced tawa leading, having passed Zigzag at the previous jump; Nannie Craddock third, but far in the rear, and old Char- Jey seemingly played out. They then approached the stand, where there was a brush fence and a ditch, which had to be taken at one leap, The Maid, leading, went over nicely, closely followed by Zigzag; then Nannie went over clean and clear; but when ola Charley was brought up to face it he would not try it, and gave up the race. This was the last we saw of him, We again turned to the leader, the Maid, and found her in air, going over the post and rail fence on the upper turn, Zigzag second; and these two were over the stono wail and going up the hill before Nannie was clear of the previous fence, and the people began to think that the race would lay between the id and Zig- zag. Over the hill they dashed, and took the downhill jump and again onto the fiat, where the stone wall is ‘again cleared prettily.
