The Proposed Race Between the English Yacht Cambria and the American Yacat Sappho, m the late files of English papers we ascertain that the cable telegrams of the 4th instant gave us a Very erroneous statement in reference to the pro- posed ocean race between the English yacht Cambria and the American yacht Sappho. In the HERALD of the 4th instant a cable despatch from the Associated Press, dated London, February 3, announced that Mr. Ashbury, owner of the Engiish yacht Cambria, was in receipt of a communication from Mr, William Donglas, owner of the American yacht Sappho, proposing an ocean race, The de- spatch alluded to concludes:— Mr. Ashbury decepts the challenge and suggests tne following as the route best adapted to fairly test joing qualities of the yachits:—lrou Cowes cootwanty th through Spithead, around the Isle of Wight; thence westwardly to and around tie Eddy- stone “Lighthouse; thence soutieasierly to Cher- bourg, France; thence northerly to Cowes, the place, of beginning, through the Solent. From the reading of the foregomg paragraph the reader would be led undoubtedly to believe that there was only one route suggested by Mr. Ashbury. ‘This belief would be most erroneous, as instead of one route there are three. In order, therefore, to correct any erroneous Impressions that may be occa- sioned by the errors in the cable telegram the letters of both Messrs. Bouglas and Ashbury in reierence to the proposed race are given. They are as fol- lows:— Unron CLuB, BEW Yous, Jan. 19, 1860, Dgaz Stk—On the return of the Sappho in Novem- ber last J became her owner.

A Blacksmith Fearfaily Beaten in His Shop With a Hammer—Escape of the Prisoner from the Sheriffs Officers, Yesterday afternoon a laconic despatch was re- ceived at tue Central Office from the Twentieth pre- cinct, calling for the Coroner to proceed to “No, 13 West Thirty-third street and take the ante-mortem examination of Peter McDonald (?), who Ites at the point of death from injuries received at the hands of another person.” Inquires were made at the Twentieth precinct for particulars, when tue sergeant on duty knew noth- ing regarding the case beyond what was twiegraphed above. Capiam Hedden, however, briefly gave the particulars to those representatives of the press who applied. From his statement and those of friends of the injured man the following facts have been obtained:— On the 26th alt. Mr. McDonald, who is a boss blacksmith, was engaged in lis shop in Vorty-first street, between N and Tenth aveuues, and tn the act of shoern, orse, When one James McDou- aid, or McDunn, & discharged journeyman of his, Wuo resiles on Niuth avenue, between Fifty-third end Fifty-fourth streets accopanied by « Iriend, came to the door. ‘The friend remained out: = — MeDonald enierea and got into discussion with McDonald — the elder, which progressed for some uttie time, when Jim ecame 80 «enraged that = he seized the hammer Peter was using and dealt him a severe blow on the head with tt. This was followed by another on the temple that rendered the man in- sensibie.

The wounded man’s nose also bears the impress of teeth, leading to the supposition t turing the fight Jim iit Peter on that organ. The assailant, afier committing the assault, ieft his victim for dead and fied. An officer of the Twentieth pre- cinct subsequently arrested the would-be murderer, ana he was taken to Jeiferson Market and com- mitted for trial. A week ago last Friday Mr. McDon- aid was sufficiently convalescent to permit his transfer to the Grand Jury room, where he made aifidavit, detadling the facts o1 the felontous assauit.

Since my last the news from the country aud (he columns operating tn various directions has been Very meagre, For the past two days we have had very heavy rains, which will have the effect of im- peding military operations and will be prejudicial to the health of the troops, who have some little cholera among them, though not of an epidemical character. The sensation of the week has been the reported discovery of an extensive’conspiracy among the creoles to rise and take the town, The place has been much depleted of troops of late, firstly vy the departure of a strong column under Quiros to escort @ convoy laden with supplies for General Valmaseda, and secondly by the sending out of a considerable number to occupy various military posts in the vicin- ity; and, as say the Catalan3, advantage was io be taken of this to rise, selze the barracks and raise the flag of independence. The arrival of - the force sent by Valmaseda to escort the convoy mentioned, as stated in my last, caused a postpone- ment of the project, which was in the meantime discovered. Whether true or not, the reports have caused immense excitement in the city, and the night set down for the rising was passed in fear and trembling. Fiala nothing occurred, nor is any- thing likely to. Yesterday a capture was made of a white man while going out of town ina mule cart, in which were discovered about 170 pots of American powder, two bags of bullets and @ quantity of medicine. ‘The feeling between the Spaniards and Cubans is daily growing more bitter and distarbances are Jeared, as the former are extremely offensive and do all they can to provoke quarreis, The police force of thee city ts pay peels. nominal, 48 most of the members have abandoned {t, alter re- ceiving no pay for some months, while the other un- fortunaies only remain in the hopes of obtaining what is due them. ‘There have been some cases of cholera in town, though not many; bat in the neighborhood Colonel Abren Jost fourteen out of twenty attacked by the disease, and numerous other deaths have taken place. ‘the war steamer Carmen recently went out to cruise and has not yet returned.

There are Teports of coming “monttors” and of a large Mexi- can cages e ition, headed byjSantacella, a employ joy of the Juarez government.

SANTIAGO De CuBA, Feb. 8, 1869, We have rumors here of a peace arrangement having been consummated in Puerto Principe. At present there is a statement going about that the insurgents have appeared in large numbers im the vicinity of Cobre and think of attacking it; but I doubt the truth of it, We have heard nothing of 9 rations in this vicinity of late, and the impres- sion has been that the rebels have gone inland.

HAVANA, Feb. 13, 1869, It bas been represented to the United States government that several American citizens have been arrested on this island and thrown into the cells of the Morro Castie, and that the United States Consul, not recognized by General Dulce as possessing any diplomatic qual- iues, is not allowed to offer any considerations im their behalf; that the Spaniards threaten a gene- ral slaughter after the expiration of the amnesty; that the government has not sufficient force to pro- tect the citizens against the volunteers, and that the sailors and marines of the national vessels here hon ee with the latter in their enmity to the Cubuns. There 1s a faint shadow of hope among American residents here that their representations may draw the attention of the venerabie Secretary of Staie from the contemplation of the Alabama claims, aud cause him for afew moments Maen sider the claims of his countrymen in foreign to protection, thereby establishing a precedent tofore unknown in his history. On Monday night the house of Mr Tinker, Jr., an American citizen, was for the second ume entered and searched by the police. Nothing showing his complicity with the insurrection or any imirmnge- ment of the laws was found. He afterwards placed the matter before the Captain General, who vtated that he was not ie of the action of the police and offered him to protest his premises, should he require It. Political prisoners are con- stantly coming in from the country and arrests here are alarmingly frequent. Indeed, both speech and action which Lersondi quietly passed over are under General Duice quickly met with arrest aad incarceration. Among those recently lodged in the is Don Miguel de Embil, a Mexican citizen, well known in the United States. He is a friend of Mr. Seward, who was entertamed at lis house on the occasion of his visit here, as was also General Sherman and other distinguished Americans coming here. A weaithy merchant, named Don Tomas Terry, of Cienfuegos, a native of Venezuela and an American citizen, arrived here yesterday, a8 is alleged, for the purpose of offering pecuniary aid to the government. He was soon after arrested and placed in the “Cal ” from yee he was reieased after five hours’ detention, being informed that it was ail a mistake and that his brother Was the man wanted. A lawyer named Zar- agoitia Was recentiy arrested in the railroad station at Aquacate, not far from here, with arms, muni- tion and seditious prociamations. ‘The Papers state that his trip was for the of hoiding @ meeting in 4 Villa near that town. The documents seized were forwarded to Dulce, __ Several persons who have been di Interview with that official, been furnished by the Captain General with a salvo conductor to leave the island, and it is stated, with much show of bility, that by threats and offers of reiease per- mission to depart he induced tuem to make import- aut disclosures of the pians of the rebela, with names of many, and that the arrests which have alreyly taken place and others likely to follow, particularly afver the eXpiration of the amnesty, grew out of thia, Among the passengers by the Eagle on Saturday last was Don Jose de Armas y Cespedes, a neplew ol the insurgent chief of the later name, the well known editor of several Cuban Mberal papers and lately sent by General Duice to attempt ® compro- muse with the insurgents. His very feeble heaith, combined no doubt with a desire to preserve his lie end freedom, has prompted him to abandon his na- tive land, ‘The exodus of Cubans to New York, New Orieans and elsewhere continues.
