YACHTING. THE NEW YORK YACHT CLUB Their New Club House. at Staten Island. Bagnificent Site, Hegant Surround- ' Grand Opening of the Yachting Season. ‘The event of prominence in the aquatic world and Incicent to the Inauguration of a briliiant campaign is ‘am anuouncement from the New York Yacht Club that amounts to genuine sensation—a sensation that takes precedence ‘of all the choice programmes in the yachting circles of this season, it being noching Jess than the establishment of a new club house ‘Within the limits of the romantic and picturesque boundaries of Staten Island. It is a move- ment desired by all who entertain a passion for the noble pastime of yachting—all who love, amid ‘the beautiful and pleasant in nature and the efegant fm architecture, to watcl the graceful curvetings of the crack pleasure vessels of America. Since the year 1844, when the little Gimerack had om board the few gentlemen that, advocating the systematic fostering of the noble art of yachting— which is imstrumental in the development of great usefulness—organized the New York Yacht @iub, its headquarters have been the little cottage \structure upon the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, fur- ished them by the munificence of Commodore Stevens. It is now to be abandoned; but around its ‘Mmited area there have been repeated pleasant ‘@@uatic scenes. As years rolled on the club was augmented by the addition of gentlemen prominent 4m business and social circles, many of whom built and added vessels whose symmetry of proportion ‘and artistic lines have again and again received ‘the commendation of the yachtmen of every port where they have flaunted to the breeze thé neat emblem of the organization. Although not being able to equal, perhaps, their foreign brethren in point of numbers, they have been left far to leeward regarding perfection of model and capacity for speed. From first to last the vessels of the New York Yacht Club have been the superior of all similar specimens of naval architecture, and their achievements in strange seas, individually and col- Yectively, have proven them justly appreciated. ‘The development of the club continued in matter @f boats and members until forty of the former and four hundred of the lgtter were upon its records. This disproportion of vessela and gentlemen of the gocitty was in itself of great regret, enhanced by ‘the known fact that many of them seldom visited ‘he chaste cottage environed with the noble oaks about the adjoining grounds, Annual meetings to them were of but little pleasure, and but once 8 vear during the June regattas, where with the fair gex of the city they met on the decks of an accom- steamboat, was La any semblance of a gene Teunion. Sipping ices was poor and unsatis- tory diversion to many of these; the frequent @ocial mecting of the members seemed more and More requisite, and thus larger headquarters, a grander domain, a building of more extreme utility of Epave, comfort of arrangements, a model of arch- beauty, far out “by the sea.” Where surges lash the sounding shore, M necessary, was decided to be the desideratum.

MURDER AND SUICIDE IN MARYLAND, ‘From the Cambridge Ue ee pane al. 27.) Monday evening last, about six o'clock, Snad- rach Belll a farmer, living on one of Colonel James ‘Wallace's farms, located about two miies from Cam- bridge, met his death at the bands of William EB.

From all we can learn it appears hata difficulty occurred at the supper table between Bell and Rook, the wife of the latter running out of the house through fear before any blows were struck, Oné of the two men during the mi procured an axe from the woodpile, and this was fear- fully used by Rook, the dying word Bell, if they are to be believed, showing that he struck more than a dozen times with the murderous iron, The contest resulted in the disabling of Bell, who wag afterwards found by the brother of Rook and W. Squires lying by the side of ao stack. He was in a dying condition and insisted that “John,” meaning Kook, had struck him a dozen times with the axe and dragged him there. He was taken into the house and John Rook came to Cambridge after a physiclan. Dr. Chubb went out, Wut Nis services were of no avail; the case was hopeless. Bell died in an hour or two, We vis- ited the house where the homicide took place, Evi- dences of a most encounter were visible on ail sides; the walls were bespattercd with biood and two oF three small pools crimsoned the floor.

The Heboken Races—Sccond Day—Three Races and Fine Running. ‘The second day of the races inaugurated under the auspices of the Hudson County Agricultural Society was celebrated yesterday under considerable draw- backs (rom the gloomy state of the weather during the day, but never were the Hoboken races go successful before, The morning opened with every prospect of rain, and although an occasional gieath of sunshine broke out, nearly everybody thought it would be @ regular rainy day. However, this was uot the case. In splice of the lowering clouds and the gloomy morning, the rain never came down, and the large concourse that attended the meeting, over @ thousand, were enabied t» view the sport iy peace and quietness, without 30 much as even dreaming of putting. ‘The racing yest pan umbrella. day showed wuat the turf has really taken a decided stand in tis country, for never was finer sport seen before, either here or else- where. There were three races, for each of which large telds entered, and te horses being without a simgle exception first class aulinuls the m ing wits cerrespondingly.godd.

In the second race, Which was for all ages, two mile heats, we had three well known runners and a “stranger, that stranger being Exile, lately tmport- ed by Mr. Dowling from the old country, where he was known a8 Pepper’s Ghost. If the animi however, had retained his ghostly character a never appeared in the field yesterday bis absence would not have been very keenly ‘elt. Local, the winner of the previous day, Morrissey Luxem- burg are well known to every turfman, and do not consequentiy need any special description. The three were strongly backed, and each having a host of friends there was no percepuble difference in the betting between them. ‘The race itself was virtually @ match between Local and Lux- they had ran a mile, and the result a { me conclusion; and when Local took Luxemburg by the head at the half-mue pole it was evident to every racing man that this astonishing son of Lightning would win. The closing struggle was terribly severe. Luxemburg held on like grim death to his chances aud did not allow his antagonist to iicrease his lead until the end, and cal only by a great eifort managed to pass the judges’ chair by alength. Morrissey, who was strong in the betting, and who had won many good races before, cut iis one shamefully at the finiss and roused the ire of those who, calculaung on his good looks and still beiter reputation, had “got on” him as “a sure thing.” He threw up the sponge at the mule and a half and left his competitors, who pos- sessessed sounder bottom, wo compiete tue race. ‘The third race, which was without doubt the best one of the day, was between Messrs.

Geueral Luke was the favorite against the field at the commencement of the betting, but a whisper to the knowing ones brought Connolly forth and he then took precedence. Eygotist, however, who Was not thougit of in the betting, won the first heat in 1:47, which was remarkable thine over such a track. This threw the speculators all abroad, and for some time they did not kuow what to do, until they returned, with great presence of mind, to their alk nee, tue cause of the Co.aptroiler.

The Mercury observes:—“Complaints are useless and exhibitions of impotent rage are puerile. We, therefore, earnestly hope that our fellow citizens will bear this burden also, as they have borne so many before, as becomes brave men; and above ali things avoid anyihing, by word or deed, that might lead te disturbance. Our enemies would like nothing better than to be able to say that the appointment, by military authority, of pegro Aldermen had produced a riot fn Charleston. We have ever been a peaceable people, aud we must en- deavor to keep up the reputation of our city in this respect, and avoid furnishing inaterial to the radical revoiutionistis In the coming political campaign, We want no New Orleans and. Nempiis riots in Charles- ton—no ‘bleeding Kansas’ for electioncering howling. Let this revolutionary régime play out.”” The Courier has the following:—“The secret of this order, without a parallel and without any rea- sonable foundation, we can only surmise in the re- cent visit of the republican colored committee.

A CASE OF SHARP PRACTICE. Yesterday James 8. Black was arrested on a war- rant issued by Justice Shandiey, on complaint of Ferdinand Kane, a clerk in the employ of John H. Bhrens, 211 East Broadway. According to the com- plaint made by Mr. Kane Black called on him some time since and stated that he was in the,employ of Collector Shook, and that the collector had author- ized him (Black) to state that a great reduction would be made in the regular tax on whiskey in case five hundred barrels were taken from the bonded warehouse at one time, At this time Mr, Kane said his firm had enly one hundred barrei#, and therefore could not avail itself of the offered reduction in the tax, On this Black, it is alieged, suggested tnat a friend of his, one John W. Laidiaw, had four hundred barrels an would consent to do the right thing provided the one hundred barrels were turned over to him, 80 that he might take out the entire nomber with the advantage of the reduction tn the tax. To this proposition Mr. Kane assented, and on the 23d of April, a8 he alleges, he handed to a third party, One Samuel W. Liollingshead, the sum of $3.50, which he ei to take tO Mr. Shook’ ofmce for the purpose of paying the tax as sgrere, Hollingshead went to the oMee accompanied by Kane, who remained outside until, ag he supposed, the transaction could be completed. In a short time Hollingshead came out and said that he had given the money to Black, adding that he would be sure to make it all right, Kane waited until Black came out and then asked him about the arrangement. He acknowledged having received the money, but made excuses from day to day, and did nothing by way of verifying his promises when Kane Toat patience with him aia cashed his atest. pe pemeraay ‘at the Essex et Police of $6,000 to await | Royal United Service institution. following letter from the government Secretary to | ies! mode of the Board of Revenue, Northwestern Provinces, re- porting that the experiments undertaken with the ob- ject of introducing the Dharwar New Orieans cotton seed into those provinces have completely faited. ‘The Secretary writes:— In reply to your letter, No. 1,268, of the 234 ultimo, Tam direeted by the Board of Revenue totnform ‘ou that, after persistent endeavors to introduce he Dharviar New Orleans cotton seed into this part of tue country, continued during several suc cessive years, they are compelled, with much regret, to acknowledge that the attempt has completely failed. The subjoined extracts from the reports of collectors will explain the causes of this failure, the chief of which ts unquestionably the (tis- inclination of the peop.e of the country to undertake @ novel cultivation, eutuiling much which is compensated by no increased return, and nee entails a loss. Mr. Ricketts, the collector of Allahabad, devoted much attention to this sub- jectand drew up a me:norandum of instructi the result of his own experience, for the guidance ol cultivators, and this was translated and distributed extensively througout the country under the orders of the board. Seed has been largely supplied at the same price as that of the indigenous cotton to all who would consent to make use of It, and nothing has been omitted which was thought likely to conduce to the success of the attempt Lo introduce a better description of plant. How completely these endeay- ors have failed will be seen from the following re- ports from collectorse— Deuxa Doon.—Where the American seed has been sown the turn out has been much the same as that yleided by country seed. The seed produced from the yield of the original imported seed has been found to retain its excelience. The price obtained for the American cotton in the market is a trifie less than that which hi mous cotton feiches; the peo- ple, however, do not like the produce of the import- ed cotton seed so well as their own; they say it is less warm; they further say that is is not so lasting. ‘Taking all things together, 1 cannot say that I think the result of the experiment has been very success- SCHARUNPORE.—The attempt to improve the qual- of the cotton in this district has proved an entire failure. The zimindars in genera! say that, as the imported cotton seed requires more care and laber than the country seed, and as its produce does not in general command a higher price in the market, they prefer sowing the latter. |OZUPFERNUGGER,—Few or no good results have been derived from the seed distributed. In many cases the plant did not dower, in others the pod did not rive at maturity; even where the cotton was yielded in fair quantity and was admitted to be of superior quality the out-turn was not remunerative, aud the cultivators dislike growing it because it requires more care and labor. BooLUNDSHUHUR.—I am unable to show that an; advan whatever has been guined in this district towards the improvement of the cotton crops by the cultivation of the imported seed, The cultivation of New Orleans cotton in the past three years has ex- tended over 132 beegahs (eighty-two acres) and gen- erally the crops ap) tw have failed. In cases where @ crop has been taken off the ground the average weight does not appear to have ex- ceeded five seers per beegah (sixteen pounds per acre), while the country cotton out-turn averages thirty-three seers per beegah (one hundred pounds per acre.) The imported plant appears to suffer from heavy rain, whic would not injure the country plant, and the generai reports show that any out-turn at all from the imported seed is the exception. No cotton grown from the im- ported seed has been sold, so | am unable to statethe iarket price. . ALLYGHUR.—The attempt to improve the quality of the cotton in tilis district has proved an entire failure. KUMAON.—The samples of cotton seed received from the board which were sown in the Bhabur ap- pear all to have failed, MurTna.—ihe seed received from the board was distributed to the principal zemindars, with full in- structions ‘as to the sowing and general cuiture, ‘The result bas not been satisfactory, as compared with the ordinary country cotton. ‘The yield of the government seed commands no better price in the market. It may be noted that the zemindars fail to appreciate the advantages of the ‘oreign seed. I have never known an instance in which they have voluntarily come forward and been really eager to receive it; they take it merely because they ik by doing so thdy will please the government. For the fature I am not pre to recommend fur- ther grants of seed in this distri Mynpoortg.—I regret to.say that the American has found no favor among the natives; the sea- son for sowing and the mode of cultivation differ in Many respects from the cotton to which they are ac- customed, and those who have tried the experiment have not succeeded with it; they urge that the weed - ng and Senting is too laborious and expensive for 18 country. Krawau.—The pees is 1865 proved a total failure; tt also fatled in 1866. In one pergunnah only the seed germinated, but the out-turn was too insig- nificant to allow of any reliable conclusions being drawn from it. ‘The supply received in July iast was ‘wo late for use this year. AoRA.—The zemindars do not care to take the cot- ton seed supplied by the Board; whether from bad cultivation, or peculiarity of soil, the result has hitherto been that either the seed does not germinate or if it does germinate come to maturity, the Peed of cotton is very insignificant. I am sorry report that, so far as I can learn, no advantage whatever has been gained by the importation into this disyict of foreign seed. Erau.—None of the seed which was purchased by the zemindars and sown by them succeeded. Asan experiment | sowed some of the seed which the board sent last year; it germinated perfectly, but the heavy rains injured the plants. I sowed some of the seed produced here from the imported seed; the ag from it are fair, but have ~suffered from the rain. FURBUCKABAD.—The cultivation of the New Orleans cotton seed was attempted in. in no less than one hundred and elghty-seven villages, but proved a total are. Bupaon.—Nothing came of the experiment. The cultivators compiain that the plant from the im- rted seed requires more labor aud constant watch. than they can or care to give. JORADABAD.—The result of the sowings seems to have been unsuccessful; the landholders took very Hitvle Interest in the matter, and from what I can learn, the piants withered and produce no cotton. BAREILLY-—The seed distributed did not generally germinate, and where it did so the out turn was too poor and scanty to induce a second trial. Jaunvone.—The cultivation of the acclimatized pied Orieans cotten seed was unsuccessful in this trict. . HUMEERPORE.—The experiment was a failure. FUTTenrors.—The seed distributed throughout the district during the pt three years does not op pear to have su . In some localities tt 4 not even germinate; in others the plants grew to @ fair height, but produced no flowers. This year the tehsildars were directed to sow some of the seed in fields in the vicinity of their tehsils. The plants came up exceedingly well, but owing to exccssive i rain in Sey ber and October every esisaeteaee silo ta epee eras ak ctor's OwD 8 every care and attention the entire so' has failed. BAxpa.—The seed sown in 1866 and 1867 is general- ly said to have ers, and in some instances to have flowered, but in no instance was there any pro- juce. Gorvckrors.—Mr. Cooke distributed the seed to several of his cultivators, and reported that Ld ona minated freely; cotton was plentiful and too Mr. Peppe has also reported that the seed germinated freely. The native sub-collectors report that those who sowed the seed got very litte produce, and hence they do not like to LW any more of it; they seed, whic! prefer th they sow with urhur, GuazExrrore.—The experiment was a faiiure. Buster.—Bu small quantity of the American seed supp! strict germinated, and that which did withered when a few inches high. Direc- tions for sowing and cultivating were expiained full, to all who took the seed. Last year and this year sowed some of the seed in my garden, with the view of testing its superiority over country seed; that sown last year did not germinate, and though this year it has come up, the plants appear so weakly that I do not anticipate they Will survive & month or six weeks. It will be ascless sending more seed to this district. BENAKES.—The seed was distributed to selected landholders, with injunctions to observe the instruc- tions for cultivation which were given in Mr, Rickett’s memorandum. It pears, however, that the experiment was a total fail L holders could not be induced to m attempt. AziMGHUR.—I cannot report that the endeavor to introduce the New Orieans seed into this district has been a success, The amount of cotton produced has been very limited and does not appear to have come into the market. Juaysis.—The cotton has been a total failure in Jaioun; it was greatly injured by the heavy raihs tn the past two years. The greater part of the seed sown by the landuolders in Lullutpore and ail that was put into the public garden failed to germinaia The success which has attended the cuitivation of the imported seed is nit, Up to the present time the board have persevered importing aad distributing the acclimatized New Orleans seed in the expectation that successful cul- tivation in some one part of these provinces might lead tg the gradual spread of an improved descrip: tion of cotton which would command a higher price in the home markets; but successive failures, unre- deemed by any tangible success, precludes the hope of such anticipations being ized. The expert inet has been costly, as will be seen by the appended memorandum; and as it has been attended with no advantage, the board reluctantly recommend that the ee AS abandoned.

There are portions of the line Valuable for local pur. poses, for which the Ottoman Porte will obtain its resources, and the new poiitical aubivon of Hun- gary will encourage the extension anc development of its railway system to the East. Te curd portion is the line of railway from Constantinople or Seru- tari across Asia Minor ‘to Aleppo, ana thence by what lias been calied the Buphrates Valley Railway to Bagdad and Bussorah. ‘The short concession from the Ottoman government to the Euphrates Valley Railway Company having elapsed, this route forms an integral part of the new concession, and not, as lately described in some papers, a separate istinecrouce, The third or Asiauc portions may be divided suto two sections, the Northern und Asia Minor section, and the Southern and iuphrates Val- ley section. ‘The fourth section is now iu uctivity by tie running of steamers between Bag lid, Bus and Bombay. It will ultimately be replaced by a line of rai!way connecting Bussorah and jurrachee, and joining the European to the lidian systems. ‘Thus there are two portions of the route ia activity, one in progreas, and the remainder, the Scutart and Bussorah Kialiway, only in embroyy, oul wituout the execution of which we cannot obtain tie advantagea of the entire route, With a railway aiong the coast, at a speed of twenty-five miles per hour, the distance from London to Kurrachee will be ultimately decom plished in eight days, to Bombay ten, and to Caleutta and Madras in ten or eleven days, So svon a8 the railway is extended to Bussorah, instead of a weekly mail to India, we should get more frequent commu- Dication, aud with a complete railway transit we shauld obtain to all India what we now have to most parts of Europe—a daily through mail.

The second head for consideration ts the conveyance of oMcers, men and smaail stores. officers despatched in case of emergency there woul be the same accéierations as for mails, and in case of need an oiicer could pass from London to India im eight or ten days. Jn @ political point of view Aus- tria and Hungary would, by the extension of their railway systei to the Fast, accomplish an ardent de- sire and obtain another channel for commercial de= velopment 48 well as for the advancement of theit eastern provinces. Austria would thus be enadled to take an effective part on the Lower, Danudée, and to give mitilary assistance to her ches Eastern ally, the Sulian. ‘The nature of the inain -line is this:s—From the Ausirian junction it — of Austrian troops being thrown in ng the whole line at the back of the Danube for the pro- tection of that frontier, and in case of need of opera- ting on the south against Servia, The European line provides for the movement of Turkish troops from Constantinople or the reserves in Asia for all put es of defence.

Persia is now busy with her short trial railway, but bring her within a week of the capitalists of London and Paris; and 1 becomes possible for their trusied agents to unine, to me- gotiate, to receive instructions and. authority, and to acteffectively. Thus capital is mAde coutributary; but what is more than Capital, knowiedye and intel- ligence in the application of Europeau processes to native materials.
