ENGLAND. The Great Internationa! Yacht Races {Prom the London Dally News, Dec. 3.) ‘The jirst week in December is not precisely the yachting season in the British Chaunel, Is it not the depth of the dead season even for the turf? Most Huglish yachtmen, who are not cruising tn sunnier Igutudes in these days, are probably mounted on huaters instead of schooners, and careering over a sti:? country instead of a heavy sea and “following the motions” of the master instead of the commo- dore. Bui while turfmen have notiting better to do io bet on next year’s events, yachtmen may be ex- cused for Ggiting over again by the fireside the con- tesis of Jast summer aad forecasting the glories of the summer of 1809, Just now there comes from be- youd the Atlantic a very gallant and chivalrous challenge, addressed to the geatiemen of the New York Yacht Club by Mr. James Ashbury, the fortunate owner of one of the most brilliant of racing cruisers that adorn bugish wat whose viclorics have been aluost as frequent as te matches she has sailed in, and who defeated the American schoones Sappho, hand over hand, in the mateh round ight last auttima—the famous Cambria, 1é will be rembered by those of our readers who are ied in such matters that the Sappho was Captain Baldwin, niing months in the mediately on her arrival In Cowes ot of her visit was jormaliy announced oyal Yacht Squactron in w courteous aud epi ter, inviting the nest and neetest of tae Lngilsh prize winuers to at over by her own round the Island. walicage 80 gallantly given Was aa gai a The mateh came on, and the Sappho, hh had been ha by the most knowing eyes at Cowes as a truly formidable antagonist, was, notwithstanding hor splendid powers at some points of satling, and espe- cially of tae wind, Iterally “nowhere” irom begia- ning to end, The aceident to her jibboom in Sendown Day excited much regret and sympathy among her ipetitors, but had nothing to do with the result, ich was never from the stagt to the finigh doubtful, E jasiice was done to ti® Sappho by those who had charge of her thatday. Aud there were (and doubtless still are) many Keen critics of her perform. ance, who were ready to promise the Sappho better fortune on s longer crdise, say, round the Eddystone amd back, or from the Lizara to Long Island. During the weeks she remained in the waters of the Wignhs her reputation—so far at least as what she might liave “aone” or “might do” under other ctreum- stances—was dectdediy on the increase. All things consulered, however, there seems to be Iittie reason- able doubt that the owner of the Sappho had somewhat miscalculated the qualtiications of the crack knglish Fg and had not suMicienlly taken into account the improvement tn consiruction, in trim and im gear which English yachts owe to the example of the America in i551, and which Mr. J. Ashbury bas so gracefully and cordially acknow- ledged in bis letter to the President of the New York Yacht Club. Tt bas been hinted that the Sappho was by no means What Mr. Asubury now very properly demands for @ competing vcesei—one “previously ronounced by the New York Yacht Cinb as the fastest vessel in America of her size and class; and that there are American yachis well able to 1ead our wickedess craft a dauce htde dreamed of by the Cambria and her sisters. [t may be so. The three owerfnl New Yorkers which raced across the At- antic in the dead of winter showed that while we Wave advanced our Americay cousins have not stool ta sual, At all events, here ia the challenge from the owner of our famous Cambria, on behalf of England, to wall Al 37 we he for the credit of English, and we should alwi understood to tn. clude Irish, yachtmen, that it will be taken up with ¢ couiidence on both sides, Mr. Ashoury proj in substance, t the Ame- rican champlon schooner shall arrive Bere next sum- mer: in time to take part in the principal matches in English waters dorin At the close of these contests he would race the Ameri- can from the isie of Wight to New York tor a suver service valued at be ny Age subsequently three heats round Long island; the winner of two out of the three heats to become the final possessor of the American Queen’s enp of 1851: and, if the loser, Mr. Ashbury would present a hundred guinea cap. to the New York Yacht Club or to the winner. In the English matches the American would sail according to the rales of the Engish ciubs; in the match across the Atlantic thera would be no restrictions as to canvas or hands; and in the matches at New York the royal ‘Thames measurement and time allowance would be accented on botit sides. it might perhaps be better, #4 a matter of form, to accept tue New York Yacht Club rules in American waters; bat this is not a polat of sertous difference, On the whole, Mr. Ashbury's conditions will, believe, be found unexceptionabie, and we venture to meist that @ return visit is due, and overdue, from Britian yacutmen to their Kinsmen “icond the sun- set.” Everything that contributes to @ brotherly feeling between the old country and the new must awiways have our Warmest wisies, And tere ia, per haps, no finer field fora generous interchange of good offices and 4 cordial emulation tn skill and en- Jerprise than that eo Nelewent of tae nutional Bteutices of Us bol. ue RUSSIA, Porticulars of the otal and the Ten Trades, td following interesting particulars were re- cent! y pone Lf the Paris Afoniteur, relating to the annual fait held at Nijul-Novgorod, in Ruasia:— “Thig place is the great centre of the iron trade in Russia, and especially of the manwiactories on the Ural.

In the frst piace, that the sphere of possibie candidates to the Spanish throne, which: at frst seemed to spread to the utmost limita of ine Almanach de Golia, has within two short montis, been reduced to those two rivals now twit douicited at Lisbon, and that ef the two ony one evinces any eagerness ior the intenied honor, or, indeed, may in the last extremity be re- Ned upon not to refuse it. In the second place, that whatever ihe governiment or any party may propose it will ultimately be jor the nation to dispose, and that there is just now suMelent perverseness and frac- Housness among the Spanish people to enable those who would fain have no king to cry down any King.
