It seems evi- skilful and daring manner in which the vessels were lied in a heavy sea. One of these strangers, a momber of the Royal Yacht Club of England, confessed that he thought it very doubtful if there were one vessel ip the fleet to which he belonged that would have any chance of victory in a match with so fast sailing a yacht ‘as the Vesta, provided she was handled as well as she was on that occasion, The next contest In which the Vesta was engaged is fresh !n the minds of the public. ‘We refer to the grand ocean match the other day with the Henrietta. In this contest, one of the moet brilliant on the record of aquatic sporting in this country, the Vesta greatly distinguished herself, and established beyond further dispute the adaptability of centre board vessols for ocean sailing, as well as for quiet cruising on rivers and mild inland seas. This grand trial resulted in a victory for the Vosta, she beating her opponent handsomely by just fifty-six minutes. In a few days after her successful ocean contest with the Henrietta we find the Vesta again in the arena ana casting her gauntlet deflantly at all comers. The match which took place on the 23d inst. between the Vesta and Halcyon liad been one of long standin; baving been mado by the respective owners when bot! ‘the vessels were on the stocks, and before any idea of their sailing abilities could be arrived at. ‘This third contest, as the readers of tho Herato are aware, resulted in victory for the V« she reaching the goal.one hour one minute and a half before her gal- ant and, deducting the altowance of time ac! ing to their difference in size and the rules of the yaoht club, beating her by just fourteen minutes. The pants in this last race had an excellent opportun- ity of observing the kind of wind and weather m which their respective vessels would perform to the best advan- tage. For instance, on the start, from noon till some time after sundown, thore was a smovth sea and light dent that had the versel been steered oast, she would havo avoided the most of the storm and would soon have been ont of its Influence; by keep- ing her away southwest and afterwards 5.S,W., she was infudiclously pushed further and further towards the centre of the storm, and she tinally passed through the centre where it was calm. At this time there was a tremendous heavy sea, and when the wind again sprung up furiously from the northwest, the ship went driving into a heavy head sea, until she was finally swamped. very seaman knows what it is to drive his ship into a heavy head sea—how it shakes and racks it—and also knows how often whole green seas come over the bows under such circumstances, if the captains of our merchant vessels would study up the theory of storms, as firet published by Mr. W. C, Redfield, and afterwards more elaborately by Colonel Reed, of the British army, and more recontly by Mr. Piddington in his Sailor's Horn book, I think the number of disasters at sea would be greatly decreased} captain who understands this theory can nearly always avoid the strength of the gale—in fact, can always do so if vicinity of land does not prevent him. » | This sturm passed like wire over the island of Bermuda, Speed the eastern edge of it.

It is also probable that this storm over the windward West India isiand, and had its origin somewhere not far {rom the mouth of the river Orinoco or Amazon.

The New York Dailies. Under the above title, the Parisian daily, Le Liberté has just published interesting details on the press of New York city and on the progress of journalism during the past thirty yoars, The writer takes the Kunatp, “the best made up and most complete newspaper in the United States,’ as a specimen.

A brief editorial, a summary of European items received by sailing ships, and a few city articles were their entire contents. The necessity of a reform was apparent.
