Disbandment of the Militia in Washington Again Ordered by tho President—Further Particulars of the Zouave Shooting Affray. ‘The attention of the President has been attractea to the fact that the peremptory order given by him to General Grant last November to disarm and ats- band all the militia organizations in the Disteict of Columbia has been wholly dieregarded. The neglect to execute the order was brought to his notice by the lawless outrage committed by the Butler Zouaves, @ negro military company, on last Thursday night, in marching through the streets with loaded muskets and firing upon a crowd of citizens because a stone had been thrownatthem. The President has notified the Seoretary of War of the existence of the order and the failure to obey it, and has required him to see that the department commander execates the order at once. Instructions will be given to-morrow or Tueaday to General Canby to disband all militia organizations, both white and black, in accordance with the order, General Canby, it is to be hoped, will then be able to see how an order issued by the President of the United States concern- ing military matters in the Department of Washing- ton should be obeyed by the officer commanding that department, A gentieman who Witnessed the firing upon unarmed and unoffending citizens went to General Emory, the commander of the depart- ment, but was informed by Emory that having been relieved by General Canby he had no longer any authority tointerfere. He afterwards, in company with General Emory, called upon General Canby, and these officials, after a grave consultation, de- cided that they had no jurisdiction in the matter, and advised the gentleman to apply to the Superintendent of the Po- hee. The gentleman, being anxious to find somebody who felt authorized to proserve the public peace, proceeded to the orice of the Superintendent of the Police. He was there informed that measures Would forthwith be taken to cause the arrest of the | rioters, It seems, however, that Superintendent Richards was not exactly sure of something that he thought he ought to know before acting in the ter. “ It could not have been as to his duty in arrest ing all disturbers of the public peace, so that, uncer the circumstances, his hesitancy in obeying the call of justice is somewhat singular, to say the ivast. At all events he did hesitate, and patd a visit to General Canby to have his doubts re- moved. This was effected, judging from his conduct thereafter, for orders were issued for the arrest of the negroes who did the firing, and yes- terday seven of ther were arrested in Georgetown and were held to bail in the sum of $200 each to ap- pear before, Squire Morsell in this city on Wednesday next. Five of them were released on bail, and two of them, being unable to find security, are awaiting their trial in the station house. A Persistent Ofice Secker Disappointed.

D., were solemnly consecrated Bishops of the Roman Catholic Church, in presence of a vast congregation. Long before the hour announced for the commencement of the pro- ceedings the spacious cathedral was densely crowded inevery part, so much #0, indeed, that standing room could scarcely be obtained, while at the doors and around the building an immense con- g@rogation assembied. The ceremonies, which began at ten o’clock, were performed with all the impressive grandeur characteristic of the Church, and the occasion was rendered even more than usually august from the fact that there were two candidates to whom the great power of episco- pacy was to be communicated. Tbe Right Rev, Dr. Becker formerly belonged to the Cathedral of Richmond, and the Right Rev. Dr. Gibbons was late Secretary to the Archbishop of this city, the Most Rev. M. J. Spaulding, who officiated as consecrating prelate. At ten o'clock the grand procession proceeded from the west door of the Archbishop's residence, passing ‘round the south side of the cathedral within the enclosure, and entered the sacred edifice by the main door. It was a splendid spectacle, and was rendered additionaliy imposing by all the surrounding circumstances. Sweet strains rose aloft, myriads of lights tiluminated the grand altar, shining brightly on the many works of art within their rays, the vast multitude knelt in silence and the procession moved slowly up the aisles. Firat came the acolytes, then students from the Seminary, in te Costume, Next the clei en who were to assist at the proceedings, and lestiy the dignitaries of the church with the two bish: elect.

Newrorr, August 15, 1868, Yesterday the grand ocean race of the New York Yacht; Club took place, with the reault already an- nounced by you, the sloop White Wing winning the prize of that olassand the Eva that of the schooners, It was over @ course eccond to none in America for yacht racing, and at timeg when the wind was blow- ing at all fresh so brilliamt was it that a little addi- tional reference to the race of the season and to the cruise is neceasary. The prizes presented by Captain Thomas C. Durant, of the yacXt Idler, being two pieces of sliver, one for cach class of vessels, sloops and schooners, were superb in style and artistically ornamented, PROPHEGIES. As the yachtmen sojourned awhile on shore, ‘’aud Pleasures and palaces,” promenading the grand balls of the hotels or driving om the avenue the previous day and evening, the confidence each had to certain of tho yachts subsequently resolved itself into pool selling on shore and on board of many of the yachts, From a selection of several the following will give an idea what the roving boys thought of the different vessels. In one of $500, for sloopa, the sales were:— Clytie, $160; White Wing, $100; Addie V., $80; Gracie, $65; Kate, $50—the reniainder being divided among the balance. In one of $1,000 for schoouers, the following ruled:—Eva, $400; Phantom, $200; Floetwing, $110; Palmer, $100—the balauce among the remainder. Beside these the gentlemen of the fleet whose busineas life ts amid speculation in- dulged freely with those of similar mind in wagers of magnitude, and it has been roughly estimated that in this pleasant way friends of the squadron have exchanged checks and money to the amount of $15,000, THE RACING MORNING was unequalled in beauty as night took to its wings and went to repose, the hills about Narraganset Bay were tipped with golden hue, and the thin flim of fog resting around the grim walls of Fort Adams and on the coast beyend suddenly divided under its influence and became nothingness, As this trans- figuration went on the yachtmen hurried from their berths aud staterooms, and looking out upon the scene were disheartened at the calm aspect of the opening day. A stirring breeze they wanted; a grand, glorious, spanking wind for the race was do- sired, and, perhaps, the want of a breeze stirred to a billous feeling many that owned the huge clipper- stuf steady wind is surging along the course, The hour of departure—ten A, M—noted no change, and the crowd, the élite of Newport, that gathered on the wharves, shedding the rays of the burning sun by neat umbrellas, became sick at the seem! Want of alacrity in the fleet. The little steam yacht Minnehaha, designed for the committee and certain wandering eficials, lay quictiy at anchor, and many were the expressions of discontentinent among the exquisites who had left a hurried breakfast st the Atlantic and Ocean Houses to witness the aquatic scene of tne year. For a moment thoy had forgotten anont the disarrangoment of the dress and discom- postag of the person in view of the glorious spec- tacle before them; but their weaker nature and silly customs ob- tained the mastery, aud they began to tire and retire, As the morning advanced a six knot breoze was still & stranger to the anxious ileet, despite tue usual “jolly boys in biue’ whistling, singing cho- rases, “scratching masta,’ and even indulging in ardent supplications, led by an old sait who is the life of the squadron, and who has crossed the ocean ina pleasure vessel ut mid-winter, The littie goa who sits aloft would not be supplicated, and even the “big joker” felt despondent. At eleven o'clock, when some of the fairer portion of the visitors Lad left—but their number being repiaced by more eturdy specimens of the human Kind—Mr, Durant, in his pretty gig, came on board his tender with an ex- pression of hope, assuring all that “within fifteen nunutes there will be wind enough,” and as he spoke the gentle rippling of the water from a southerly breeze made his proph @ correct one, and #oon all anchors were up and schooners and sloops begun their work of obtaining positions, bat the wind continued so light that it was fully quarter liko schooners that show thew speed when a | past twelve o’clock before any success attended their efforts. The scene then was one of exquisite beauty. The sun shot down its rays of ulous Gerceness, and opposite the line of starting old Fort Dumpling in tts remarkable ruins, with Goat Island, Cuatle Till and Rose Isiand, in their emerald hue lookin; like mirrors of gigantic open te oy here and there on thelr knolls anxious spectators, made ap a scene, with a pearly, cloudless Italtan sky, unsur- passed in the annals of yachting races. ‘The wind shifted to the southwest, as the judges, Messrs. Nowland, Gandy and Hone, together with Commodore Stebbins, loft the jaunty steam tender to take their position on shore to note the departing yachts. Again the wind shifted and tt biew with in- creased vigor from the cast southeast; and as the signal from the judges let fall a handkerchief the curling smoke of tue first gun from the yacht Idler sent the word to the manwuvring vessels to be ready, another signal and another gun at thirty-four mindtes past tweive, and as if by the work of fairies’ bands up went sails, and instantly filiing, oaward sped the vessels, The entries—twonty-tLwo—nave already been published, with thetr time of starting. The line of en ga as flso rated, wes from au imagiuary line drawa across the bay between the flagstaft Fort Adams and the ruins of Fort Dumpling opposite. Gallantly ina group for & while, but soon each to lis own tnclivation selected its course, but arriving at tbe first objective point, Benton's Reef lightsnip, the sloop Juilaon the starboard tack was seen towing Ler boat, an evidence of her retiring from the race, whieh afterwards was found to be correct. The Magic, Fiectwing, Restless, Dauntless and Palmer, laylog oa the sale tack, Vang it Guely, while the Phaniom to leeward and in advance was sailing finely. Vere the yachts looked to the spectators on ee Silon ngs like bauks of suow on tie ocean, and e emners ness, were surmounted with the rays of the sun as it glisiened on the drops thrown from the bow of tie iltue yacht gave them the appearance of a revolving circle of fire, each parucle @ burning star.

Some were with ecuppers undor the water, and ali gail being set made them have the appearance of winged messoa- ra. There were more Biruggies tian these, the ubler and Resl.crs at Uines being matched in oon- tests, wile the Alice and a foaght tor #everai minutes for the advantage, their sailing mas- ters endeavoring by every possible mancuvre to out = the other. At last, the wind freskening, the no- bie little Wiute Wing, owned by SI Homans, passed the stakeboat--which had been placed iitue hort ward of Grove's Potnt, oa Block Island, instead of the nortueast point of Head as Intended—at twenty-eight minutes ast four o'clock, followed by the sloop Gracie at thirty minutes aad th juarter seconds past four o'clock, when the schooaer Eva, which had maintaincd her advanced position, passed the first of her class at forty minutes past four o'clock. Then they came in sweet confusion, the Phantom and Paliver next tugging for the mastery, with the Josephine shooting aiter her ghost-like sts- ter, and the Pieetwing, Magic, Alice.

There is @ noticeable Lmprovemens in the singing and doting of both artists and chorus, and, taking as 8 criterion the large crowds who nightly flock to this theatre to witness the escapades of the hoydentsh Boulotée and Barbe Bleue, her villanous better half—or rather ber ‘worse one-stxth—we should jude that the piece was steadily grow! in popularity. To Mr. Bateman us due the credit of having been the first of our man- egers who through enterprise and Mberality pro- duced the effervescent opéras bouges in o style that alone could render such light productions either popular or acceptable to an American audi- ence. As a people we require everything to be well done if it be done af all, otherwise we positively refuse to countenance it or bestow upon it our pat- ronage. Our metropolitan managers are at last be- ginning to realize thia linportant fact, and now spare neither trouble nor expense in securing the best artists and in presenting the latest theatrical and operatic novelties to the public in the best possible manner. It is just this libera! and judictous catering to the popular taste by Mr. Bateman that “Barbe Bieue"’ is indebted to the success it bas achieved in this city. Never was a stronger op'ra Louse com- pany brought together in this country than the one now performing at Niblo’s, and never was a piece of this kind anywhere better mounted or more magni- ficently costumed. But strong. as this company is at present it will be doubly so 10 the fall, when ib forms the contemplated conjanction with thes other strong company of Mr. Bateman's, of whicu Milc, ‘Tostée is a member. “Pirefly,” at Wallack’s, enters upon its second week under the able mamagoment.of Mr. Theodore Moss, and as ita popularity is steadily om the in- crease it 15 not at all improbable but that the piece wil continue to hold possession of the boards until the commencement of the regular fall dramatic sea- son. The play has improved materially in every par- ticular since its first representation, and is nightly received by crowded houses with meniestations of delight and approbation, ‘The acting throughoué of the entire company is excelicat, and caveful jnag- ment has been exercised tn the minutest detans lating to the scenery, costumes and the generat mise en scene, While the numerous tableaux, which are plentifully scattered throughout the piece, are striking and effective, and are worthy the Lge of an artist, Concerning the play itself the: is not much that can be sald in its favor.

Turaing to the herome of the play, we find in Lota all thal wo could expect in the dashing, vivacious vivandiere. Firony. As Lotta and Firedy are now regarded a8 synonymous expressions, we net bat mention the one to be understood as speaking of the oluer.
