4 EVROPE. The - Parliamentary Election Canvass in England. Christian and Jewish Addresses to the Sultan of Turkey. The Cunard mail steamship Australasian, Captain McMicken, from Liverpool the 6th and Queenstown the 7th inst., arrived at this port yesterday evening. Her newspaper mail report has been anticipated in all {ts main points by our files to hand by the French steamship Ville de Paris. The Australasian brings the special correspondence of the HERALD dated to her day of sailing from England. The London 7imes, in its city article, says:— It is stated that arrangements are in progress be- tween Mr. James McHenry, the comtnieier for the Atlantic and Great Western Railway Company, and his creditors, to the effect that they will accept 20s. in the pound by instalments, of which 6s. 8d. is to be paid ‘Within two years, and that creditors to the extent of £2,400,000, out of the aggregate of £3,600,000, have ready agreed to the offer. One of the creditors for bout £5,000, who objects to the deed, has taken out a summons in bankruptcy, but there is said to be no doubt that the deed will legally completed by the assent of nearly all the large creditors, 80 as to pre- vent any proceedings in bankruptcy taking effect. A telegram from St. Petersburg of May 5 says:— According to the official despatches received from the frontiers of Central Asia hostilities broke out on the 1st May between the Russians and Bokharans in consequence of the bad faith of the Emir of Bokhara. On the 2dof May the army of the latter was de- feat and Samarkidu was occupied without resist- ‘ance, the Russians capturing twenty-one cannon and the contents of the Bokharan camp, and sustaining themeelves only slight loss. {This despatch is confirmatory of the intelligence received from Bombay and transmitted by special cable telegram to the HeRaLp, but does not sub- stantiate the reported death of the Emir.) Lady Napler, wife of the Commander-in-Chief of the Abyssinian army, arrived at Southampton June 6 in the steamship Pera, with the Calcutta mails. The Paris Siecle of June 6 says:— At the moment of going to press we learn that Halim Pacha, uncle of the Viceroy of Egypt, and one of his heirs presumptive, according to the Mus- sulman law of inheritance, has been obliged to place himself under the protection of the European Con- suis Gencral at Cairo, and to appeal to the Sultan against the persecutions and violences directed against him by his nephew’s government, The Earl of Shrewsbury died June 5in his sixty- fourth year. ENGLAND. The Irish Church Bill Passed in Committee— General Napier in Danger—Pablic Execue tions Abolished. Inthe House of Commons, on the fth tnst., Mr. Gladstone's Irish Church bill finaily passed through committee and was ordered to be reported, amid the cheers of the members. The London News antici- pated that an attempt might be made by some independent conservative member—notwithstand- ing Mr. Disrael’s statement as to the in- tention of the government—to interrupt the quiet passage of the bill through commit- tee. The event justified the anticpation. Mr. Newdegate made such an attempt by moving that the House xo into committee on the bill that day six months. The proposition was seconded by Colonel 8. Knox, and supported by Colonel Archdall, Mr. Lefroy, Sir J, Stronge and others. Mr. Gladstone anawered these gentlemen in a few words, Whereupon Mr. Newdegate, either struck with the violation of his political leader’s faith, or ob- serving the utter Hopelessness of his success, said he would not press it, as the head of the government Was not present. ie bill then passed uninterrupt- edly through committee, r. Mill presented a petition from the ‘Home and Foreign Affairs Committee of Macclesiicid,” con- demning the Abyssinian war and “murder of King Theodore,” and asking for a select committee to in- quire into all the circumstances. The suggestion that Sir Robert Napier be put on his trial a la Gov- ernor Eyre has been the point of duli jokes in the English comic periodicals; but this would seem to be the first serious embodiment of » n idea.

Henceforth all executions will take place Within jails in the presence of certain officers, who are to sign a certificate of the death of the convict, which is to be publicly posted outside the jail for at least twenty-four hours after the execution. Active preparations were being made all over Eng- land for @ general election contest.

THE HUDSON RIVER AMATEUR ROWING ASSOCIATION. Yesterday was the opening day of the Hudson River Amateur Rowing Association, After having postponed the long-expected event three times, owing to the unpropitious weather, the oarsmen at last were afforded the luxury of a gala day on the North river. The turnout was highly creditable to the clubs at |i . The rowers appeared in excel- lent trim, the Titne flags uttered: ally from stem and stern of each boat, and as the sun beamed with his burning rays at noon tho cheery faces of eighty rowers might be seen as the boats moved ently into the -~* bai 3 ag boat houses foot of opher street, New York. tthe tugboat Deer was chartered for the invited guests, who numbered about fifty, for the Commo- dore and the other officers who took an Interest in the day’s proceedings, At one o'clock the boats were ranged in line off the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, where they were reviewed by the Commodore, Mr. David Banks, Jr. (who is President of the Atalanta Club), in the following order:— Atiantic Giub, of New York Champions, two six- oared boats and one eight-oared barge; Atlantics, of Hoboken, one six-oared gig; Gulicks, of New York, one s!x-oared gig and one eight-oared barge; Waver- Jeys, of New York, one aacunstapors oar Ocre alae: of New York, one six-oared gig; Hudsons, of Jersey City, one eight-oared barge and two six-oared gigs; Palisades, of Yonkers, one six-oared ; Vespers; of Yonkers, two double and one single scuil. Immediately after review tne boata returned to the starting point, and after a few minutes’ delay a set cifon a pleasure trip to Pleasant Valley, where every one who participated enjoyed a ‘willie waught” right heartily after such a prolonged ex- posure under the burning sun. A mgre social or congenial company could not be desired. bet thing went off so pleasantly that the “boys” would fain have prelonged their mirth to the ‘wee sma’ hours” but that they were reminded that “somebody” was afloat waiting for them. At half-past seven o'clock the first boat led eff on the return, and in the space of an hour afterwards the Valley was ‘totally abandoned. If there be any one among the guests who did not heartily enjoy himself the fault does not lie at the door of the committee of management, who comported themselves in a most courteous and agreeable manner throughout the trip. REGATTA ON THE MYSTIC. Three Exciting Boat Races—Good Time ard Crowds of Spectators. (From the Evening Telegram of yeaterday.] Boston, June 17, 1858, An event which formed another important feature of the day’s celebration of the Bunker Hill anniver- sary was @ regatta on Mystic nver, which was at- tended by a large and interested crowd. Three races were in order for single and double sculls and for four oared boats, and eight o'clock was the hour for the commencement. The judges were Messrs, Wil- lard Rice, Mallen Parsons, John H. Burrill, Jr., Henry L, Haines and John B. McDonald. Their boat, the yacht Bonita, was moored in the usual place, near Chelsea bridge, and the two judges last named were stationed in the stakeboat near Malden bridge, a mile up the river, That the course was just a mile long bricpg is no doubt, aa it was measured last winter ‘on the ice. FIRST RACK. The first race was for single sculls. For this there were six entries, and positions were drawn in the following order, the first mentioned having the tn- side, next the shore:—Undaunted (shell) Charles Blanchard, Cheisea@Elta (shell), Leonard Kings- ley, of Charlestown; Georgie’ B.

The boats got oi in the midst of a smart shower, Ward taking the water first and shooting acouple of lengths ahead, closely followed by Fay, with Appleton third, the others being-several lengths behind. On the first half mile Fay got even with Ward, and finally passed him, turning the stake about two lengths ahead. The race home was chiefly between Fay and Ward, the former winning by half a dozen lengths in 15:24. The time of the other competitors was as follows. Wm. Appleton, 15:40; L. E. Kingsley, 16:05; D.

The boats got off in very smooth water in the order of the positions above bamed, the Snarkey taking the water first and leading by a length for halfa mile, hard pushed by the Gi trade. The Girondelie, Lizzie and Lowe were nex’, the Lwo latter being well behind, After turning the stakeboat the Girondelle picked up amazingly and passed the score with a lead of twelve lerigths, the Gertrude and e being next, while the Snarkey ‘hs behind and the Lizzle was dis- THIRD RACE.

Association came of on the Paterson race track yes- terday afternoon, and was witnessed by hundrets of spectators from New York, Newark and vther neigh. boring cities, while the élite of Paterson turned out en masse to witness the aghievements of the young men forming the society. The H. M. A. (whatever that means) Association is composed of young gen- tlemen representing the most aristocratic families of Paterson, and was originated with the object of en- cour athletic sports and promotii physical growth, The following is the result of the various Traces yeaterd: FIRST RACE—ONR-QUARTER MILE STRETCH. Messrs. T. C. Oakman and William were entered, and started off in handsome style at the tap of the drum, but the first named, however, soon Proved the best winded and came in some ten yard ahead and completing the stretch in sixty seconds. SECOND RACR—ONE HUNDRED YARDS, A. 8. Pennington, Jr., E. B. Atterbury, Jr., and R. 8. Hayes were entered.

REGATTA OF THE ATLANTIC YACHT CLOB, No Wind=No Race=The Squadron on a Drift— Another Trial to Take Place To-Morrow. If, tn the absence of the most tmportant element of Success, the third annual regatta of the Atlantic Yacht Club was a failure, {thas only shared the fate of many an illustrious event which a similar ctrcam- Stance has robbed of ita eclat. The weather was de- cidedly antagonistic to yachting, and to that fact alone may the want of a triumph yesterday be at- tributable. In every other respect nothing was left undone by this enterprising club to render ita annual display worthy to be dotted down 484 brilliant achievment. Therefore, tf the regatta yesterday did not realize the bright antictpations which the e(icient arrangement and excellent fleet of the Atlantic Club justified its members in forming, the treacherous elements are solely to blame. It was & dark, foggy morning, suniess, yet sultry and op- pressive. The shrili and oft repeated whistles of the cautious tug and ferry boats on the iver rang through the misty air with ominous sounds and foreboded the worst of luck for the coming contest. But hope still Ungered, and with hope came the vision of an ex- citing race. The steamboat Wyoming, expressly en- Yaged to accompany the race, lay snugly at the foot of Montague street, Brooklyn, till nine o'clock, when a host of friends, including a large number of the fair sex, with the regatta committee and judges, Went on board. The star spangled banner then rose aloft and the jaunty little steamer went briskly down the river, soon leaving smoke and commerce far be- hind. Shortly before eleven the fleet was dimly visible in Gowanus basin, for the fog had not yet disappeared. and to ail intents and purposes seemed determined to hold its own. As previously stated, the course was from the anchorage down through the Narrows to a stakeboat off Coney Isiand point, to the South. ‘West Spit thence home, the prize being any, article the winner chose, not to exceed $50 for each class. ‘The yachts were anchored in three lines according to their respective classes, At 10:59 the signal to all the boats was given from the Wyoming to prepare to start, Five minutes tater tho second class sloops ‘were signa:ied to start, and one minate afterwards The the schooners rece!ved a similar intimation. foiowtng yachts took part in the contest:— SCHOONER.

It was evident that the larger yachts had not the slight- est chance tn the competition, there being no wind, not even the test balmy’ whiff, to relleye the intense heat which now ensued, and so they made bat little pro, Towards twelve o’clock the Lavine had pt ed forward, and, profiting by a tem- orary pull from the south, got well up towards the ront, attended by the Clytie and Martha. The race, if tt can be so called, lay between these three boats, the others being far behind and seemingly deterred by @ decided unwillingness to proceed lest their return should be rather protracted. Approaching Coney Isiand Point, however, some activity was discernible among some of the first and second class sloops, and as the breeze now began to give (aint symptoms of freshness a half a dozen competitors were seen in the distance trying to coax the wind with ali sorts of tacks, There was not much variation, and the boats passed the first fagboat at the Narrows in the follow- sing order and time:— Name. HM. 8. Name. A. M. 8.

The Niagara, which all the while had been | gradually gaining. ground, rushed to the front and succeeded in ng the few boata in — front, who only appeared to have some life. She was closely pursued by the Lavineg and Clytie, both of which were skil- fully handled throughout, In the wake were the Martha, Fanny, Salus, Peerless, Hermit and Flor- ence, but the absence of wind deterred them from proceeding. At this time nearly ali the other boats had either abandoned the race or quietly moved along without any intention of competition. The White Wing, which contained the Commodore and party, when near Coney Island Point met with an accident im the breaki of the hook of the throat halytards, which of course deterred her as well as her companions—including the Addie V., Alarm and others—from going any further. Besides, all hopes of being able to sail had been given up, and the contest seemed to be between the yachts in advance. Towards four o'clock a slight breeze blew from the south, and accelerated the Seonyanecd of the contestants. The last flagboat at uthwest Spit (half the length of the race), bemg a distance of about sixteen miles, was reached by the follow- ing boats:— aA aM. qa mM. 8. Niagara. 4 a t 34 30 Lavine 4 32 After he interest in the race ceased and the guests on board the steamer, tired of watching the dilatory movements of the crafts, returned to the city. The yachts failed to accomplish the distance within ‘the prescribed time of eight hours, and the race was consequently declared null and void. It was subsequently’ decided to postpone the regatta till Friday pext, when the yachts will again start for fresh honors at nine o'clock. With the exception of being a little too warm, the day was delightful and the trip thoroughly enjoyed by the numerous guests on board, among whom were Commodore John C. Gunther, Bayone Yacht Club, and a host of friends, Considerable regret was felt at the ray eng state of the weather, but it is earnestly hoped that the contest on Friday next will compensate thom for the disappotmtment of yesterday.

On Saturday (May %0) the Royal London Club opened She season with a match between yachts of the first class—viz., 30 tons and upwards, without restriction as to rig—for two prizes, value respec tively seventy-five guineas and twenty-five guineas, The following were the entries:— Yacht. Tons. _ Rig. Owner. Cambria....... 183.... Schooner.. Mr. Jas, Ashbury. Fiona Mm Mr. E. Boutcher. Phryne Mr. T. Groves, Jr. Nioly seeee Mr. H. Gordon. Sphinx . 47.... Outter. Mr. J. 8. Earle. All the above took up their stations with the excep- tion of the Cambrta, whose absence created general disappointinent, as, being a new vessel, only launched in April, the frat pubite trial of her sailing qualities had naturally beer looked forward to with consider- able interest. As, however, in accordance with the club “time scale’—thirty seconds per ton up to 60 tons and twenty seconds per ton above that measure- ment—she would have been required to allow the Fiona no jess than forty minutes, her owner perhaps exercised a wise discretion in withdrawing her, more particularly as the wind was very light and varia- bie, and consequently greatly in favor of the cutters, The course intended to be sailed was from Erith to the Nore light and back; but in consequence of the want of wind it was found impossible to complete the distance and the committee very properly de- cided that the race must be resaiied. As, however, allthe four competitors were entered for the New Thames Yacht Club match on the following Monday, it was arranged between the several owners that their respective claims to the London Club prizea ahouid be decided by their positions tn that race. This grrangement gave considerable éclat to the inaugural races of the New Thames Yacht Ciub, which, it may be mentioned, is an offshoot (the result of a secession from the Royal ames), aud though only established during the present season already numbers upwards of two hundred members, By waying of making an pos Ady at nd but the new club offered two prizes, value reapectively £100 and £50 for first class cutters, and one of £36 for cutters of the second olass—viz., under 30 tons—and the liberality of the commitiee was rewarded by the following fine entry, which it will be seen, Incindes some of the smartest cutters adoat on the English waters:— FIRST OLA3S. Fachta. Tons. Oumers. Mr. E. Bouteher. Mr. J. Groves, Jr. Sir B. Chichester. Mr. J. 8. Earie. Mr, A. Duncan. Captain Anderson. Niobe. 4. Mr. W. Gordon. SECOND CLASS. Tons. Ononers. 85. Mr. J. A. Dantel. 24...... Mr. J.W. Twycron, ‘The race was accompanied by the Prince of Wales’ steamer, having on board Mr. J. D. Lee, the chief officer of the club, and @ select party of members and friends. The start took place | ae at eleven hours, fifty-six minutes and thirty seconds, with * pet b tide and a@ nice topsail breeze from the B.S. E. All canted smartly with the exception of the Fiona, which hung in trons for a few moments, whereby the Phryne was enabled to get to windward of her, closely followed by the Sphinx, Vindex and Ntobe in the order It was a dead beat all the way down to Greenhithe, when the Vindex headed the Sphinx, but was shortly passed by the latter off Gray's. A most inte race ensued between these two yachts, both of wi were very smartly handied, through Gravesend Reach, where the Vindex in attempting to cross on the port tack under the quarter of the Sphinx, which was on the starboard tack, fouled her oppo- nent ey carryl away her own bowsorit and the Sphinx’ trail.

On calculating the time allowance— op ton fp to 60 tons and twenty aeconds abo’ hat measurement—the Sphinx was found to be the winner by two minutes and 4wenty-five seconds, and the Phryne second by ten seconds; consequently these two became entitied to the prizes of the Royal London and New Thames clubs.
