In the course of his address he congra- tulated the country on the adoption by the House of | Commons of his Irish Church resolutions, The hon- crable gentleman said:—“ He was astonished at a re- cent statement of the Prime Minister, who had the hardihood of infatuation to congratulate a festive party of his friends on the state of Ireland. It was like the conduct of a military despot who, having trampled all liberty under foot with his arined forces, declared that order ai last existed. When personal diberty was suspended they were arrived at a stage only short of civil war, and the leaders of th» liberal party felt that it was their duty to cousider this dark aud menacing.” Five-twenties, 7135 in Loudon THE CITY. ‘The cattle disease has been almost squelched as far as this neighbornood is concerned. The iast of ‘those diseased, it is now believed, have been sep- arated from the healthy ones, and the spread of the disease has been thus early prevented. In Boston, however, the disease seems to have just made its appearance, and the Governor has appointed a Board of Comiissioners to take the necessary action in the matter. The inquest on the body of Jacob Stilwagen, the lager beer saloon keeper on Fourteenth street, who ‘was killed by one John Seibert on Saturday evening, commenced yesterday at a room in the saloon, and after the taking of some testimony was adjourned ‘until this morning. Itis sald there were fully two thousand persons—men, women and children— crowding around the place while the inquest was going on, Henry Morrison, captain ef tho American bark Columbia, who has for a considerable time been under arrest as an accessory to the murder at sea of one Henry Gunther, @ seaman, was discharged yes- terday by United States Commissioner Betts, the evidence against him being insuMcient to justify his Turther detention.

The Fourth of July was cele- brated with torchlight processions, speech making, regattas, picnics and a ball on board the Mohongo, The planters of Jamaica are much alarmed at the violent speeches made by Judge Mashedor, which have been misconstrued by the negroes into a license for abuse and outrage upon the whites, Highway- men abound on the island. Attempts will be made to negotiate a loan in England to carry out certain public works, From Nassau we haye telegraphic advices to the 6th instant, The bill to disendow the Established Church has passed to the second reading in the Legislature, ‘The last funeral rites over the remains of Thaddeus Stevens took place yesterday at Lancaster, Pa. The little city was crowded to excess by those who came to take a last look upon the remains and to do the oid chieftain the last honors, The remains were interred in the Lancaster Cemetery, where the Rev. W. N. Gotwald read the burial service and the Rev. Dr. Wombert delivered the eulogy. The number of persons present is estimated at fifteen thousand. The Indian troubles in Kansas are assuming a very Serious aspect. ‘The hostile bands on Solomon's creek were within twenty-eight miles of Solomon City yesterday, and the town was fast filling up with White refugees, It was reported that a body of soldiers had engaged the Indians, but had been defeated. Governor Crawford was hurrying up the arming of the militia. The Chinese treaty has been sent to China for formal ratification. The New Dominion again suffers from a Fenian scare. Ruinors of the assembling of a Fenian orga- nization at Ogdensburg have induced the governinent to call forth the Volunteers and hold tie regulars ready for a move at any moment. Our Washington correspondent furnishes an ac- | count of the manner in which swimdles in paying the bounty of colored soldiers have been carried on among the department clerks, The Congressional Committee have reported that there is no evidence of anything more than trregularity in the accounts; but, from our correspondent’s statements, the irregularl- lues have lined the pockets of somebody at the ex- pense of the public. Attorney General Evarts has furnished opinions in regard to the Coliectors of Alaska and New Orleans, In the first he holds that the President has the power to appoint a Collector, whose term shall expire at the end of the next session of the Senate, In rela- tion to the Collectorship of New Orleans, which be- comes ant by the election of Mr. Kellogg to the United States Senate, the Attoraey General arrives at a similar conclusion.

J., on Sunday a row occurred, when the Justice of the Peace and his constable were both severely handled. A caboose was thrown from the Pacific Railroad track, near Fremont station, Nepraska, on Saturday, killing seven men and wounding ten. Max Klingler, a boy of nineteen, who murdered his uncle in St. Louis some time ago, was sentenced on Wednesday to be hanged on the 6th of September, He appeared perfectly unconcerned. Johnson and Seymour, It is beginning to be rumored from Washing- ton that after some five weeks of active and earnest negotiations the diplomatic agents of the democratic party have succeeded in recon- ciling President Johnson to the nomination of Horatio Seymour for the succession. In the outset, according to the report of one of our Washington correspondents of the result of an interview between Colonel Van Buren and Mr. Johnson, there was hardly the ghost of a chance for the reconciliation of Johnson to the un- grateful and unexpected action of the Tammany Hall Convention. He owed the democratic party nothing; he wes certainly under no obli- gations to support Mr. Seymour, who had declared that the best thing that could be done for the country would be the impeachment and removal of Johnson. It would appear, how- ever, that, acting upon the idea that ‘faint heart never won fair lady,” the persevering agents of the democracy have so successfully applied their arguments and blandishments that the wrath of Achilles has been subdued, and that Mr. Johnson, after ‘‘swinging round the circle,” has resolved, after all, to unite his political fortunes with the ticket of Seymour and Blair. F Assuming this to be true, the question recurs,’ what will be the effect in this contest of Mr. Johnson's support of this ticket? Morally, not much; for the most sanguine republicans have had but little hope of any “‘aid and comfort” to General Grant from the White House. They have been so distrustful that they have made no approaches in that direction, but have left the field to the undisputed claims of the democratic party and its ambassadors from the East, West, North and South, Mr. Johnson's submission and adhesion, therefore, to the ticket of the Tammany Convention will create no surprise in the radical camp and no astonishing enthusiasm among the democracy. But, as Kossuth would call it, in the way of “financial and material aid” it is still possible that Andrew Johngon, repudiated by the one party and rejected by the other, may wield the balance of power in this ap- proaching election. It is said that he has no idea of abandoning the fascinations of political strife with the expiration of his present term of office, but that he contemplates a new political departure, beginning with an effort to get back to the Senate from Tennessee under the wing of the democratic party. Here we have a motive sufficient, in the case of Mr. Johnson, to account not only for his adhesion to Seymour, but for his most active support of the common cause with which the two men are identified. But in what quarter are we to find this balance of power whereby Mr, Johnson may determine the issue of this contest? We think it possible that it may be found in this city and to the extent of deciding the vote of the State. Through the Custom House, the Post Offices, and otber federal establishments withia this metropolitan district it is believed that the President may still control some twenty-five or thirty thousand votes, especially with anything like a prospect of a decisive political reaction and revolution in November. With these | twenty-five or thirty thousand votes thus se- cured to Seymour and Blair they may, against all the expected gains of Grant and Colfax in the {nterior, carry the Empire State, and, as in 1844 and 1848, the vote of Now York may decide the issue of the election, So far all the political events of the day, North and South, have indicated a reaction against the party in power. It is evident from numerous circumstances that the Southern re- constructed States are not to be relied upon for Grant and Colfax. It is evident from the late Kentucky election that the radicals have lost every inch of ground they had gained in that quarter. The general result there, in fact, is so overwhelmingly against them that it can hardly be reconciled to the radical theory of local causes, We are soon to have, however, something more definite and satisfactory in reference to the drift of public opinion in the North in the coming September State elections in Vermont and Maine. Nobody expects that in these elections in either of these States there will be a democratic majority of the popular vote. But if in Vermont and Maine, or in either, the result shall show a marked falling off in the republican vote or in the republican majority, the radicals may begin their prepara- tions for an impending political revolution. How far President Johnson’s influence may be exerted to the advantage of Seymour in Vermont and Maine we do not suppose to be a matter of much consequence; for if there is any marked reaction in either of these States it will be due to the great issues involved in this campaign, and not to the few petty federal oftices here and there. If, however, Vermont and Maine in September shall indicate a de- cided turn in the popular tide against the party in power, Pennsylvania, Ohio and indiana in October will be apt to give it a greater momen- tum, and then New York in November will settle the question, and Andrew Johnson, in his new'political departure, may hopefully re- turn to Teanes: although in its general con- sequences the on of Seymour may be as profitléss as the election of poor Pierce. The News from Japon and China, The news from Japan and China, and from Japan particularly, published in the HeraLp yesterday is highly interesting. This was brought by the Pacific Mail Company’s steam- ship Colorado, The dates from Yokohama are up to July 26, and from Shanghae and Hong Kong to July 15—that is, twenty-one days from Japan to San Francisco and thirty days from China. This is not the quickest time that has been made, for the Colorado met strong head winds the entire homeward voyage. Still it shows rapid progress in the communication and intercourse of the United States with these populous and rich countries of Eastern Asia. The Pacific Mail steamships are becoming a success, and are the pioneers of a vast com- merce about to be developed between Asia and America, As an evidence of this we no- tice that the Colorado brought eight hundred Chinese steerage passengers, beside cabin passengers, and twenty thousand packages of tea and silk for the United States and Europe. In Japan there had been some fierce battles between the forces and partisans of the Mi- kado, the Pope of Japan, and the adherents of the Tycoon, the temporal sovereign. Jeddo, the capital of the empire, is the stronghold of the Mikado and his northern partisans. This city was attacked on the 4th of July by twenty thousand southerners, the supporters of the Tycoon and the princes who adhere to him. The news, however, is brief and not very clear as to the rival parties. Still it appears that the southerners, or Tycoon party, which were repulsed on the first day, renewed the attack the next day and were entirely successful. Half the city of Jeddo, it is said, was destroyed by fire, including two large temples, Another terrible battle was fought at Tichino, about eighteen miles south of Osaca, in which the Mikado’s general, Sat- suma, was defeated with great loss. The general tenor of the news shows the decline of the Mikado’s power and the success of the Tycoon’s party. Some features of the news are very shock- ing. It appears that Satsuma, the Mikado’s general, had issued a proclamation condemn- ing all native Christians to death, and that several executions had taken place at Nagasaki and Sendai, within sixteen miles of Jeddo. A report comes, too, from Nagasaki that one hundred and fifty Christian Japanese had been taken out of that town and drowned, in spite of the remonstrance of the foreign consuls there. Itis said, however, that the northern princes have, both on their own part and on the part of tho Mikado, madea proposition to refer all differences between them and their opponents for settlement to England, France and the United States, and have agreed to bind themselves to the arbitra- ment of these Powers. Their desperate situa- tion has led them, probably, to this step, though they are bitterly opposed to foreigners and foreign ideas and influence. If this be true there is some reason to hope for a settle- ment of the difficulties in Japan. At all events the great Christian and commercial Powers cannot witness long the outrages upon and wholesale murder of native Christians and the interruptions to trade. It is evident from these and former events in Japan since that country was opened to for- eign trade and intercourse that the Ja- panese are destined to succumb to the power of modern civilization, Chris- tianity and the commerce of Christian nations go with gunpowder and the cannon ball. This seems an anomaly, but it is nevertheless true. The progress of mo- dern and European ideas in such countries arouses the hostility of the old conservative and privileged classes. This has been the case particularly in Japan, where the chie* of the native religion and priesthood bh’ ve- reign power divided with the tempor . ruler, We have seen what a desperate struggle the Pope of Rome has made in modern times for the maintenance of his privileges and power. Need wo be astonished, then, that the Mikado of Japan should make a desperate fight for his ancient privileges? Yet he must yiold to des- tiny ; and above all he will not ) rmitted to outrage humanity by the wholesale slaughter of the converted and progressive Japanese, As to the news from China, that is more satis- factory. The imperial government is pntting down and punishing in‘an exe nplary manner the pirates that infest the co drivers of the empire, Ameri are being adopted and enterprise encouraged, Among the latest improvements proposed to be intro- duced are the American fog on the Yangtse river, Forelgnors had begun to pros- peet and develop the gold digg The rebels, who have been f several years past, appear to have su and the imperial goverament seems to be more toa improvem x horns Chee idable for ambed, firmly established. Though Japan had the start of China a few years ago in a more free intercourse with the Western nations and in adopting their improvements, there is no doubt now that China will take the lead. The Bur- lingame mission, the liberal tendencies of the existing government of that empire, the” vast emigration of Chinese to America, the steam- ship communication between China and the United States and the rapid introduction of American improvements and enterprise will soon bring that country’ into close relations with us and the rest of the world and will open avast and profitable trade. We are on the eve of a wonderful development, and this country occupies the most favorable position to reap the greatest advantages. Radical Troubles in the Reconstructet Statos. The Governor of Alabama has vetoed the measure providing that the Presidential electors shall be chosen by the Legislature and not by the people, and has thus brought out very handsomely the hitherto latent differences between the radical rogues in that State. The political division in Alabama is no longer be- tween the radicals and the people, but between the two factions of the radicals—the carpet- baggers and the scalawaggers—a sign of promise, Your carpet-bagger is a loose fish from the North who shoots about in the shellow water of party in the South, and because he is loyal and has friends in Congress and can take any sort of an oath gets some fat place, or gets into the Legislature with a view of getting a fat place by and by. He has no consistency, no home, no character and no means. He is altogether bogus, and is more or less radical exactly in proportion to his moral and political worthlessness. Such is the stuff mainly from which Congressional radicalism has made the eceptive fabric of reconstruction. The scala- vs are resident radicals—fellows who, per- haps, were more or less sincere in their readi- ness to co-operate with Northern men in recon- structing the South on Northern ideas.. Gene- rally they are looked upon by the mass of Southern people as recreants; and they are also looked upon with no great favor by the carpet-baggers, for scalawag is a Yankee phrase, and, no doubt, was given to one section of Southern radicals by the contempt of the other, But the scalawags served the purpose of the radicals, inasmuch as their presence in the new governments gave them some appear- ance of authenticity. It seemed to imply that the new governments were genuine when a portion of the resident community participated in their formation. But a more significant fact now appears when we find that the mean- est white men of the South—the contemptible residents of Southern States who joined in the radical scramble of reconstruction—cannot at the last get down low enough or grovel in the dust with sufficient humiliation to keep on terms with the Northern element in the recon- struction juggle—the carpet-baggers. This will show to the North how absolutely impossi- ble it has been from the beginning for the real people of the South to participate in the recon- struction instituted by Congress, and by show- ing this the fight over the electoral law in Alabama may do good. The Revolution in Mexico. The special cable despatches published in the Herawp of yesterday and to-day leave no doubt that the insurgents are forcing the gov- ernment of Juarez into a straitened position. The Governor of the State of Vera Cruz had returned to the port of that name after having made an ineffectual attempt to capture the in- surgent chief Prieto. The Governor's military and naval plans had all fallen through, although the French, Spanish, German and American residents were extensively aiding him to raise men, money and provisions. He had deemed it expedient to suspend the civil authorities of the city, and was expecting a reinforcement of five hundred cavalry under Colonel Jimenez. Besides these untoward events the despatches announce the fact that the press of Mexico, ex- cept the comic sheet known as the Orquesta, forbore any mention of General Alatorre’s de- feat by the insurgents under Negrete. On the other hand, it is reported that Alatorre had defeated Negrete at Huamantla; but this re- mains to be confirmed. The former officer was expected at Vera Cruz. Kidnapping was of frequent occurrence, and the summer rains kept the roads running with torrents. A French organ at the capital, the Trait @ Union, advocates the policy of courting European alliances to ward off any encroach- ments of the United States. It is likely that the journal referred to made the remark ironi- cally, to remind the Mexican government that it is on the brink of just such a smash-up as left the brave Maximilian in its power and caused all Europe to wish that the United States would take possession of that forsaken republic and thus secure the lives and pro- perty of their respective subjects sojourning there, Nothing but the short-sightedness of our trimming Secretary of State prevented General Grant from carrying out this, the only true policy towards Mexico, when he proposed sending General Sheridan across the Rio Grande, Sooner or later this humane policy of General Grant must be carried out; our own interests require it; those of European nations demand it; the well being of our sister republics on the Continent needs it, and a chari- table feeling for the welfare of the Mexicans themseives prompts it. Toe Creisk or tik Yacnt Squaproy.— The accounts which our correspondents give from day to day of the proceedings of the New York Yacht Club squadron show that their sum- mer cruise is a great success, The description ofthe race in yesterday's Heraip was a pic- ture that might well make those immured within the limits of the city pine for the salt airs of “the blue, the fresh, the ever free,” and the salt water companionship of the clubmen. The present se of the club may be called the dilletantism of y ng when compared with ocean contesta, amid the hazards of an Atlantic midwinter voyage; but it is pleasant <to observe that this delightful and manly sport is put to such good use in the waters that sur- round the metropolis, It is necessary that the lighter craft should have an opportunity of showing their sailing powers, their graceful- ness and their beauty, as they have been en- abled to do in the present cruise, New rival- ries will be created, and yachtmen will become more zealous than ever when the next vachting eepson comes round, Disturbances at the National Cuplial. Some unruly fellow threw a stone a fow days since at a body of nigger soldiery parading the streets of Washington city with fife and drum and all that popinjay display of blue cloth and gold lace of which niggers are as fond as white men. Thereupon the ‘‘soldiers” opened fire upon the crowd, and of course they hit a nigger. They always hit a nigger. It makes no difference what happens in Washington, damage to a nigger is the result, for the niggers are always in the way in that semi-African city. But such firing, if done by anybody but a body of nigger soldiery, might have caused greater harm. Andso there follows an inquiry into the state of the legal provision made for public safety. It is found that in view of the imminent probability of just this sort of trouble +t was ordered by the President some months since that all these militia companies should be disarmed ; but a great radical noise was made over the order at the time and it was never putin force. General Grant is blamed; but as there is a subordinate commander for the District we doubt not the blame rests else- where than with the Commander-in-Chief. The fact that no notice was taken of the order is, however, an indication of the disgraceful tendency things assumed in the government under the influence of the arrogant spirit of the radical bullies. It became the fashion to ignore the President. Congress set the example, and even made a practical division of the President's office, giving part to the Secretary of War and part to General Grant. These officers, in accepting powers that Congress had no authority to give, strengthened the tendency, and there was no functionary so small but he would have been ashamed to acknowledge in the presence of radical associates any respect for the Execu- tive or his commands. Did not the imagina- tive Butler make out that there was a conspi- racy on foot when Emory only talked as if he might under some circumstances obey an order from the President? In those days, therefore, no man hesitated to disregard the President's order, and thus the niggers still carry their loaded muskets in the streets. It is time this was done with, The order was not half stringent enough on this offence. In the city of Washington there should not be per- mitted any display of arms whatever, and there is power to prevent any. In the seat of the civil government of the nation there is a quasi-despotic power over the conduct of resi- dents. Men have not the rights they possess in the several States, and they take up resi- dence there with the fact before them. There is a reaction in the tone with which the Presi- dent is regarded now, and he will do well if he uses the opportunity for a positive assertion of authority in this matter. The Social Condition in Ireland. Cable telegrams dated in Dublin yesterday confirm the fact, which was contradicted after its first report, that Mr. Scully, one of the most extensive owners of real estate in the south of Ireland, was murdered by his tenants during the first moments of the out- break of the fierce agrarian disturbances which convulse the county Tipperary. Mr. Scully went out in personal vindication of what the Trish landlord terms the “rights of property” — which means to collect his rents, no matter how exorbitant, by force, even to the unhous- ing of the population, without reference as to how unfortunate they may have been in their agricultural operations or what reasons they may urge for delay or accommodation. His tenants, as in years past, regarded the exer- cise of this “right” as a deadly ‘‘wrong,” both to themselves and their half-naked chil- dren, and hence, guided by their sense of the “wild justice of revenge” and, as a first in- stinctive means of rectification, they shot him. The existence of such a state of affairs in Ireland reveals the social condition of the island in a sad aspect, rendered still more melancholy by the fact that the coroner's jury sitting in inquest on the body of the deceased, after finding a verdict of murder, took occasion to ‘‘deprecate the conduct of Mr. Scully, and suggested that new and more liberal laws were needed to prevent a repeti- tion of such scenes."’ This argument for the necessity of a new law for the regulation of land tenure in Ireland, held over the dead body of a murdered land- lord, affords significant proof of the urgent need of such a measure, and gives plain warn- ing to the aristocracy of how Ireland will vote at the general election, Movements of the Chinese Embasuy. Our correspondents continue their full and minute accounts of the movements of the Chinese Embassy. All the members of the Embassy appear to have been duly impressed by the unequalled combination of beauty and sublimity at Niagara Falls. Chih Tajen, who, in company with Mr. Brown, one of the secre- taries, and Mr. Keefer, the engineer, made, on the 12th instant, the first crossing of the new suspension bridge, declares that ‘it is worth the whole journey to see this great fall.” At the brilliant ball which Mr. Fulton, the pro- prietor of the International Hotel, gave in honor of the Embassy, on the night of the 11th instant, our Oriental visitors for the first time deviated from their customs and con- formed to our occidental customs so far as to join, If not in the dance, at least in the prome- nade, At the paper mill on Goat Island they studied, on the 13th instant, the mysteries of converting old rags, tow and straw into a con- tinuous sheet of beautiful snow white paper. On the 15th instant they made an informal visit to Buffalo, where they took great interest in witnessing the operations of receiving and transferring grain at the Niagara Elevator, and in examining the Wadsworth Union Fire Works, and the arrangements of the Fire Department. Unfortunately, Sun Tajen, while crossing rickety old wharf at Tonawanda was precipitated by a loose plank into deep water; but happily ho was rescued alive and went on his way re- joicing. Mr. Burlingame has gone to visit his father, who lives twenty-seven miles beyond Chicago, and we cannot but admire in this fact and in that of his attention to his father-in- law his desire to show his Chinese associates inthe Embassy that here, as well as prover- bially in China, the sacred precept ‘Honor thy parents” is strictly observed. On Mr. Burlingamo's return from his visit to his father the Embassy will proceed with him to Boston, where such a public reception as Bostonians pique themselves on being wlone ablo to give neeocereernematnnttitttitlte teat TET ce a will convince our Chinese visi:ors that there are some exceptions to the old rule that @ prophet is not without honor save ia his pwa country, —_—— Increase of Disorder in the City. Affairs in this city appear to be approaching a point when the question may arise whether the rowdies or the police authorities are mas- ters of the situation. On Saturday night number of policemen were assaulted while conveying a prisoner to the station house and two of them seriously injured by the rescuing party of ruffians. Similar occurrences have taken place in Brooklyn, and it is said that an organized plan is in contemplation on the part of the rowdies of both cities to set the police at defiance. We do not know whether this is true or not, but it is evident that for some time past disorder has been increasing, the exercise of violence with the knife and pistol has be- come more frequent and attacks on the police appear to be systematized. We must look to Superintendent Kennedy to put a stop to this demoralization in the lower and rougher stratum of society. The members of the police force, with few exceptions, perhaps, perform their duty faithfully, even to the exposure of life and limb, in the service of the public; but it is for the Superintendent and the Commis- sioners to see that they are not subjected to unnecessary violence. If policemen were to go in groups of two or three on their beats in dangerous districts, instead of patrolling alone, they would soon bring the rufians to their senses. The police must be protected, or the peace of the city cannot be preserved. There ought to be intelligence enough among the Police Commissioners to devise’ some plan for the safety of their men. Emigration from Europe to America. A special exhibit of the flow of emigration from Great Britain and Ireland to America, prepared for the use and information of the readers of the HEra.p, appears in our columns this morning. The writer sets forth, in brief and careful analysis, the numbers, ages, social classification, mode of transit and points of debarkation of the hundreds of thousands of the subjects of Queen Victoria who have sought shelter, employment, industrial reward and permanent homes in the United States and Canads during the year 1867 and some of the preceding years. This report, so far as it applies to Ireland, is exceedingly ample and very complete, and will consequently attract much attention from our citizens of Irish birth and descent, as it places before them a fair explanation of the prevailing local causes which tend to the exodus of their brethren and friends from go fertile an island ; sets forth the rate of mortality which inures the voyagers to their Western refuge, and gives the total numbers which took their departure from each of the four provinces and each of the thirty-two counties of the kingdom during the past year. The remarkable fact of the benefit which Ireland receives from her ener- getic and industrious children when settled in the United States is attested by the statement that they remitted to the Green Isle during the year 1867 over half a million of pounds sterling ; while from Canada and New Bruns- wick the sums so sent out did not aggregate five thousand pounds sterling. Tho Cruise of the New York Yacht Saquad- ron—Arrival at New Bedford—Another Ocean Race to Come Off To-Day. New Beprorp, August 17, 1868, The yacht squadron had another exciting and bril+ lant race from Newport to Holmes’ Hole. They ar- rived there on Saturday noon, and during the after- noon and evening and also on Sunday the captaina and guests visited the camp meeting within a few wiles of thelr anchorage and the several picturesque islands in that immedi- ate neighborhood. This morning they left for this place, and, although there was a calm, arrived early in the afternoon. The sight as they approached the harbor has seldom been equalled, and when the booming of the town artillery noted their approach regular stampede to the docks took place, To- night the members are on shore premenading plea- santly. The yachta that have arrived are the Palmer, Phantom, Corning, Restiess, Kate, Dauntless, Fleur de Lis, Rambler, Eva, Jwiet, Widgeon, Idler, Ficet- wing. Magie, Gracie, and Addie V. Vice Commodore Bennett's prize, together with an additional one of the same value, $500, given by him for sioops, will be sailed ior on the first of Oc- tober from the club house at Staten Island, thence around the lightship off Sandy Hook. This has been agreed upon to-day, as some of the larger vessels that desire to contend for these were compelled to leave for New York this morning; but the good people of New Bedford will not suffer, as Captain T. C. Durant has matched the Idler against the Eva for a race of forty miles to-morrow from this port, the con- ditions being an eight knot breeze. When the intelli- gence was spread through tho feet the captains of the Phantom and Palmer asked to be admitted, each to deposit $1,000, and this request was granted; so the race will be for the sum of $4,000, While these vea- sels contend the balance of the fleet have invitead— and the invitation has been liberally responded to— the ladies of the city to accompany them on the race, that they may witness a brilliant ocean yachting con- test. New Bedford is gay to-night, and the yacht- men in their pleasant uniforms are the cause, The aquadron disbands to-morrow. “WATERING PLACE HOTES. Mr. A. N. Stout's room, at the Continental Hotel, Long Branch, was entered on Suturday night by some parties unknown and robbed of $2,000 worth of jewelry, two pocketbooks, containing respectively 75 and $100, and checks to Mr. Stout’s order for $100, This is the second robbery that has occurred here, the adjoining room having been robbed re- cently of about $500 worth of jewelry. Rewards are offered for the arrest of the thieves and the recovery of the property. It is reported that a Cincinnati merchant, who I addicted to faro and has been in the habit of parting with from $10,000 to $15,000 @ season at Saratoga, ‘was relieved of $40,000 the other day.
