SCOTTISH GAMES. The Grand na Match; North va. South, (From the Manchester times, Jan. 17 Tho great annual match between curlers of Scotland orth aud south of the Forth took place ‘on Tuesday, on the Carsebreck Loch, about two miles southwest of the viliag? Of Biackford on the Caledonian Railway, Among the players were the Duke of athole, Lord Kinnaird, Lord Strathailax’, Sir John Ogilvy, M. P., Lieutenant Colonel Hunter, Aucbterarder, Major Ogilvy, Major Boothby ‘and a large pocnber of gentry and crack players from all parts of the con..try. It is worthy of mention that the players representin,’ the extreme north were from Inver- Beet, snd those representing the extreme south from lanchester. During the three hoars the match lasted the scene was quite exciting, the noise made was altogether deafening, and though the frost, even when the sun was at its highest, was intense, the crowded the ice with the most anxious feelings. Including spectators and layers, the total number on the ice was little short of oo thousand people. The result of the match was as follows:— For the North. For the South Majority for the South...

Statistics from Official Recerds—Large Pro- portion of the Revenue Collected in New York—Comparison of the Returns of the Various Districts for the Years 1862, 1863, 1864, 1865 and 1866. The receipts of the Internal Revenue Collectors on ordinary assessments in this city amounted to $35,700,000 for the year 1866. This does not include the proceeds of sales of revenue stamps, the figures indicating which are not obtainable, and which, at a fair estimate, would ‘swell tho total to forty or forty-five millions of dollars, Last year the regular collections amounted to $37,000,000, showing a decrease of about a million and ahaif forthe year 1866. This is owing principally to chenges made by the law, which took effect in the sum- mer of 1866, influencing, toa arge extent, the general business of New York, but especially that of the manu- facturers, and affording relief to branches of industry which must otherwise have sunk under the prossure. During the four years and three months intervening between October, 1862, and December, 1866, the aggre- gate amount of internal revenue collected in this city was more than one hundred millions of dollars. The entire collections throughout the country, from July 1, 1862, to June 30, 1866, were $679,890,378. Excluding from this sum the thirty-six millions derived from the sale of stamps, and estimating the whole income of the overnment from this source for the six months from uly 1 to December 31 at $140,000,000, it is found that the city of New York paid, at the period under consid- eration, one-eighth of the whole interval revenue of the country. The returns of last year—an exceptional one, however—show the payments of our citizens to have been at the rate of more than fifty dollars for each per- son on the census roll. At present. the proportion of tho Internal Revenue paid by Now York is about one- seventh. The tigures given below, embracing the whole col- lections, iu this city, since the Internal Revenue law went into operation, are curious and interesting as indi- cating the gradual increase in the amounts pad in dif. ferent years and the sources whence this government tribute is chiefly drawn. Beginning at the rate of three or four thopsand dollars per month, the collections will be even to have attained their highest point iu 1366— being then at the rate of more than three millions monthly—and, in consequence of the law already alluded to, to ‘havefallon in the last half of 1366 to two millions four hundred dollars, ‘THIRTY-SECIND DISTRICT. ‘The Second and Fourth wards of this city com- Prise the Thirty-second wen tee lena This oe district, in socordance with test returns, a revonue equal to four States—Massachisetts, Vennsy!.

R. Cuyler, and may prove of interest at the present time :- — SKETCH OF TARR B. CUTLER, At the close of the late wm" the steamer was sold to Mr. R. Sturges, of this city, and put in the New York and New Orleans trade, After th'e save she was altered toa full brig rigged steamer, besidias undergoing a thor- ough renovation, which gave her alf she appearance of a fine seagoing vessel. She was onimally built to run between New York and Savannah, and wes named the R, R. Cuyler, the fastest propellor steamship that ever graced our merchant \maring At the outbreak of the war she was purchased by the United States governracnt at a cost of $165,000, and fitted up as a gunboat for the blockade service—in which capacity her great speed madeher the terror of the fleetest blockade runners, She was rated third class in the United States Navy, armed with a\bat- tery of twelve guns and stationed in the North Atlantic squadron. Her first exploit was the capture ef the schooner J. W. Wilder, after an exciting chase, fifteen miles west of Mobile bar, in January, 1802 In the course of her vigilant patrouiug oft the Southern coast, in hay, 1803, she pursued and overhauled by her usual fleetness the achooner Eugenie, which was: do- ¢lared a prize and was afterwards put in the service. In the same month of the year 1863 she had her maiden brush with an armed foe, in which she signalized her. self by the important thriumph of destroying the rebol schooner Isabel, near Fort Morgan, and capturing three other vessels belonging to the enemy. In length the steamer ( uyler 1s 238 feet, breadth of beam 82 feet, and depth of hold 22 feet, Her tonnace is 1,202 tons,’ 8 was originally constructed with a view of obtaining gre speed—a character which recent improvements in bet machinery have rather contributed to preserve. GROUNDS FOR ARREST. For somo time past the authorities here have been receiving information from various sources that the R. R Cuyter was being fitted out for the Peruvian or Chilean service, and after clearing at this port, according to established usage, take to the high sens, raise the flag of a privateer, and commence a predatory course upon Spanish commerce. The peaceful relations existing’ be- tween Spain and the United States, and the testimony of two of the crew which had been engaged to saib in the Vessel required that action be taken in reference to her departure. For the past two days a strict wateh has been kept upon the movements of the vessel and those connected with her, and in corroboration of the belief and the facts obtained in this city as to her real character vT @ notification was received from Washington that the veesel required close watching, and the Custom House authorities were instructed to be on the alert, FURTHER PACTS.

Russeli sturgi#, Robert 8. Taylor, Henry W. Hobbet!i and Samuel Dor- land, through their agent, communicated with the State Department at Washington in reference to a transfer of the vessel to the government desiring to purchase her, and they were informed, it is said, that the sale of the vessel would not be interfered with unless there was a violation of the neutrality lawa With this assurance the Owners prepared the steamer for transter to the Colombian authorities. They claim that the peatrality laws have not been violated in any particular, and that the fitting up of the vessel with hi t armament i# only in accordance with the that tit an infrsction of the laws, and that the sale of the R.
