Destruction of the Custom House at Puerto Plata. ‘Haytien Rebels Waiting for the Quaker City. ENGLAND. Lerd Clarendon’s Speech on the Alabama Treaty Before the House of Lords Criticised by the London Press. Loxpon, June 5, 1869, ‘The papers this morning unite in interpreting Lord Olarendon’s brief review of the Alabama cor- respondence, which was published in the New YorK HERALD of last Thursday. During a debate in the House of Lords last evening it was designed to in- dicate to Mr. Motley, previous to the official inter- view, the sentiments of the present Ministry. The London Standard, a tory organ, after abusing America for shiftiness, arrogance and greed, says that no English Minister ever had to make any ex- Planations so humiliating as Lord Clarendon uttered ‘last night before the House of Lords. However con- actous of the perfect sincerity of the motive and rec- titude of conduct, it was no less a humiliation to be obliged to treat in the conventional Phrases of diplomacy with a country that has acted as the United States has done in the Alabama case. He admits, however, that it is still his duty, not- withstanding the past, to renew his efforts even without any hope of an honest desire for concord being rightly interpreted by any but by a small sec- tion of the American people. Lord Clarendon then announced that his government would not refuse to reopen negotiations, provided they Were not approached in a spirit similar to that which animated Senator Sumner's speech, which ‘Was 80 applauded by the American Senate. But for the moment he was unable to communicate to the House the tenor of Mr. Motley’s instructions, or even whether that gentleman had any instructions which he could at the present time make known. In the meantime, until Mr, Motley should please to open business on the subject, and tell us, if he can, not only what demand he has to make now, but alsowhat he may have by way of supplementary instructions as well. We, too, hold 4n our hands a limit to compliments towards him as the author of certain lively histories of the Low Countries. : The London Telegraph, a Ministerial organ, says thas the speech of the Foreign Secretary looks like an unmistakable expression of English opi- nion made with dignified firmness and an ‘Indication of the national resolve. From what transpired in ine House of Lords iast night Mr. Mot- ley can ascertain what hopes there are to reopen ne- gotiations, and he will see that in the opinion of Englishmen that the country has gone far enough. ‘What he may solicit with success ne can find in the articles of the rejected gonyent pnd what jt js bopeless efen to he he can discover in Senator Sumner’s speech. He ‘will learn from the earnest language aud manly bearing of Lord Clarendon that the Foreign Office never wil! put @ troublesome pressure upon the new American Minister to hasten the completion of this q@iMoult task, and, moreover, England is always ready to cancel every trace of angry feeling that may for a time have disturbed the affectionate rela- tions of a kindred people. The London Star (John Bright's organ) says:—We can now advance steadily into the future. There ‘re two things clear, and it is satisfactory to find them recognized. Lord Clarendon stated last even- ing in the House of Lords, with the utmost point ‘and energy, that the Americans cannot now doubt the willingness of the British government to do ‘thém right or its determination to protect its own character and crédit. The negotiations speak for themselves. On one point Lord Clarendon speaks for the nation; on the other, Mr. Motley. Mr, Fish and President Grant fully understand and appre- Ciate both facts according to their merits. The London 7imes says that Lord Clarendon told the House of the two Conventions and their rejec- tion, the first after having been formally signed by the American envoy; and observed, truly enough, that no impartial person could deny that everything had been done to meet the wishes snd adopt the proposais made by the-American government. The 7imes says, with curious criticism on its own work, that it made no great expression of satisfaction hen the negotiations fell through, and, for its own part, considering how much America wanted and how much the British secretaries were ready to Bive, it was @ wonder that England got off so well.

Admiral Topete read General Duice’s telegrams announcing his resignation as Captain General of Cubs before the Constituent Cortes last evening. Great excitement prevailed. Marshal Serrano asked for a suspension of judgment until the arrival of General Duice and until the particulars in the matter ‘Were known. It is rumored that General Dulce was Fecalled on account of his leniency to the Cuban in- surgents, GERMANY. Election of OMicers of the Zollverein—Speech of Prince Hohenlohe.

CUBA, General Deposing of all Appointees of Dulce Expected—Programme of the Volunteers. Havana, June 4, via Key West, June 5; 1869. The action of the volunteers in deposing the Gov- ernor of Matanzas, leads to the anticipation of a general deposing of all the offictals who hold office under appointments from General Dulce throughout the island, Ex-Captain General Dulce sails for Spain to morrow. The programme of the volunteers is to remain quiet until the arrival of General Caballero de Rodas, allow him to assume command, and then await events, The Spanish Admiral strongly objected to the action of the volunteers in deposing Captain General Dulce; but, as he finally acquiesced tn the measure, it is believed he will remain a pagsive spectator of whatever they may do before the arrival of the new Captain General. More Governors Removed—A Triumvirate Proposed—Resignation of Officiale—Afray between the Regulars and Volunteers at Cardenas. Havana, June 4, via Key West, June 5, 1869. The volunteers here removed the Governors of Cardenas and Colon and propose to establish a tri- umvirate, consisting of prominent Spaniards, to govern the island till the home government is set- tled. They will probably give Count Valmaseda command of the forces in the fleld. The Governor of Havana and Chief Justice have resigned. Forty officials and the Bishop of Cuba accompany General Dulce to Spain. General Espinar is expected to resign soon. A serious affray between the volunteers and regu- lars has taken place at Cardenas. Captain General Dulce Sailed for Spain—De- parture of Minister Nelson—Miscellaneous News. Havana, June 5, 1869. Ex-Céptain General Dulce sailed for Spain to-day. The steamship Columbia takes to New York thirty- six of the crew and passengers of the wrecked steamer Mississippi. Mr. Nelson, United States Minister to Mexico, sailed in the Cleopatra to-day for Vera Cruz. The steamer France arrived to-day from St. Nazaire. General Dulce’s Departure—The Old Story of Insurgents Surrendering by Thousands Told Again. Havana, June 5, 1869. Ex-Captain General Dulce satled to-day for Spain. He was accompanied to the steamer by all the mili- tary officers of high rank now in Havana and by the Colonels of the volunteer regiments. The Havana journals publish reports which repre- sent that thousanas of insurgents are surrendering, It is asserted that among those who have given up their swords are Generals Pedro Cespedes and Fran- cisco Fornars, Report from Admiral Hoff—Courtesy of the Spaniards to Americans—The Revolution Gaining Ground—Ald from Filibusters, ‘WASHINGTON, June 5, 1869, The Navy Department has received advices from Rear Admiral +Hom, dated Matanzas, May 27, in which he says he left Havana on the 20th inst., and arrived at Matanzas the same day, where he and his officers were received and entertained by the officer of jurisdiction at his palace. The Admiral was much surprised to find the feeling of animosity be- tween the volunteers and the Cuban element was much less bitter than he had been led to expect in Havana. in fact, from appearances, a stranger in Matanzas would never suspect that a revolution was raging in the island; and American commerce, ‘mich is ite extensive here, ts u olested, and B mentee Be bees diré carrying on their business as in tumes of peace. The news from Nuevitas is meagre, All the American citizens de- sirous of going to the United States, spoken of in previous letters, have left that vicinity, and although the Penobscot was there on the 14th inst., no claim- ants for passage to Havana appeared. Lieutenant Commander Eastman reports that the railway to Puerto Principe has been so far repaired that a locomotive and freight cars came down to Nuevitas at a slow rate, taking three days to make the journey of forty-elght miles, and requiring @ guard of 2,000 men for protection. About the sth or 10th of May some bands of insurgents attacked the convoy of a train, defeated them, and destroyed the bridges the Spaniards had built and captured forty-three oMcers and men, including a colonel, This is the only de- cided success of the revolutionists that has been re- cently reported, The Admiral has been informed \hat General Lesca, Governor of Puerto Principe, has been removed by the Captain General for alleged cruelties in bombarding a camp composed of women and children and General Setona ordered to succeed him. This action has caused great discontent among the Havana volunteers, who have placarded the streets with satirical caricatures of Dulce. The Spanish authorities at Nuevitas—and, in fact, at every port of the island except Caibarien or Reme- dios—have been exceedingly polite, offering every facility to my oMcers and manifesting a friendly desire to please. There are rumors that Trinidad is environed by a large force of insurgenta, and there is alsoa report that the place is in their possession. At Guantanamo, on the south side, near the eastern end of the island, the insurrection inaaid to be exceedingly strong in consequence of the successful landing of expeditions in that dis- trict, and that im a recent engagement with the Spaniards the latter were defeated. One thing is positive, however, and that is, the actual or sup- posed successful landing of these expeditions has infused new life into the insurrection that to all ap- pearances was dying out some two weeks ago. The Narragansett is expected from Nucvitas and Qaiberten on the 20th of May, when Admiral Hoff hopes to give some news of the progress of airs in the vicinity of those places, — Recognition of Caban Belligeront Rights by all the South American States Exjeeted. Wasninarton, June 5, 1860. The representatives of the Cuban patriots here assert that in abrief time Bolivia, Venezuela and several of the South American States will follow the example of Peru in recognizing the belligerent rights of the Cubans, The same agent of the Cubans who effected a recognition from Peru will visit the capi- tals of the other South American States, and it is said there is but little doubt of his success. The leaders of the Cuban revolution have assurances from the most prominent and influential men of these governments that their Envoy will meet with fa hearty reception. They are all anxtous for the in- dependence of Cuba, and are disposed to make common cause against Spain, THE INDIANS. Movements About Fort Haye—The Depreda- ors at Fossil Creek Still On the Warpath.

The Dominican government had concluded a loan Of £400,000 sterling with the Messrs. Hartmont, of London. Bills to the amount of £400,000 had been drawn, but there were doubts of their acceptance and of the conclusion of the loan. The republic Was reported to be completely tranquil. Notwithstanding oMcial reports to the contrary, Vic | there were evidences that ex President Cabral was meeting with success in his revolutionary movement against Baez in the South. Baez remained at the capital while Cabral was at Cristobal. No fighting had taken place. The Custom House ana other buildings in Puerto Plata were recently destroyed by fire. Many mer- chants were ruined by the conflagration. ST. THOMAS. Total Loss of the Steamship Mississippi— Coffee Saved from her Cargo. HAVANA, June 5, 1869.

Dana’s Suit Against Boston for Disfranchising Him. Boson, June 5, 1869. Richard H. Dana has withdrawn his suit against the city government of Cambridge for omitting his name on the voting list last August. Mr, Dana says, in speaking of the reasons that led to the bringing on of the suit:—“I felt it my duty, and perhaps ft stil is, to represent in my person an invaluable right trifed with, but I doubt if, under the ciccum- stances, the case will be of much pubiic value in the shape it may present itself, and I avail myself of that doubt to secure peace and relief from what would be an anxious and distasteful contest.” Rejoicing in Fall River Over Reopened Com- munication With New York. Fat River, Mass., June 5, 1869. The citizens of this place will celebrate, on Mon- day next, by the ringing of bells, salutes and a ban- quet, the resumption of the steamboat line between here and New York. Distinguished visitors from New York, Boston and Newport will be present and participate in the ceremonies . ‘The fine weather which prevailed yesterday morn- ing had attracted tothe Park at an early hour an unusual number of the great unoccupied and of ladies and children and nursemaids. Never was the Park so beautiful. The lawns were emerald glories, the heavy dew of the past night had re- freshed the trees and the flowers seemed to rejoice in the genial, balmy sunshine, which, however, was at no hour before three o'clock over- powering, a gentle breeze fanning one’s cheeks and putting all in good humor. Impromptu dejeuners were disonssed on the grass by hundreds, leaving Many a wreck bebind, in the shape of egg shells, chicken bones and paper, and as the day wore on small squads of ambitious base ballists appeared upon the scene and commenced operations. The birds and animals in the Park seemed to join in the general revelry, the rabbits and hares in particular skipping about with 9 tameness intensely | “shock- ing.” At two P. M. all was gayety and confusion. Every available lawn was taken possession of by the base ball players, who seemed to spring out of the earth, so sud- denly did the grass become variegated by all sorts of costumes in which it 18 supposed any one can play the game, and half an hour later play was impossible from a sheer want of space, and the dis- tinguishing of balls as they were tossed and knocked recklessly over the plain a herculean task, At three o'clock the grand monde began to arrive and the carri: to throng every drive. Dapper clerks appeared with three montis of salary on their backs and the balance of their stipends on their heads, feet, hands and shirt fronts, a fractional part being reserved for their waistcoat pockets; while shoals of pretty School girls and graduates for matri- mony made one’s life a misery and a pleasure at the same time by their “pretty ways.” Although the 1 and lakes received the burden of patronage, all parts of the Park were pretty well frequented, and when the saying ‘marriages are mae in heaven’’ was promulgated a reserved clanse must have been inserted to read, “and the Park," to judge from the hundreds of couples who, shanning the pun Me, sought the retirement of the lovely grounds near the reservoirs, monopolizing eve! nook and corner where cosey chat could be tn- Teutonia, as usual, sent a goodly Samat Genta and lager- loving delegates, who amused themselves in their own peculiar way, while New York did not forget to give a roving commission to is loafing population, whose representatives made nature hideous by their vandalism and improprieties, but who were Kept a little in check by the decent minded and the Park constables. At half-past three o'clock there were at least 6,000 persons congregated around Dodworth's orchestra, anticipating immense pleasure from the execution of the following ‘programme:— PART L.

ENGLISH YACHTING. Match of the Royal Thames Yacht Club-The Egeria the Winner—The Cambria Beaten. Lonvon, dune 6, 1869. The schooner race of the Royal Thames Yacht Club was sailed to-day, at forty-flve minutes past eleven A.M. The starters were the Flying Cloud, 101 tons; Fleur de Lys, 101 tons; Gloriana, 133 tons; Witcheraft, 206 tons; Cambria, 188 tons; and Egeria, 162 tons; the Flying Cloud stationed to windwaru, The wind was west southwest, blowing @ good whole sail breeze on the starboard quarter during run down. Ail canted under balloon jibe and set jib top- sais and mainiop asiaysails, in addition to the usual fore and aft and square canvas. ‘The Flying Cloud was fist away, the Gloriana next, followed by the Egeria, Cambria and Witchcraft in the order named, the Fleur de Lys last, having carpied away ber jibboom. Oi Mucking light the Gloriana was half a mile ahead, the Bgeria, Cambria and Witcncraft being together about half a cables length astern. ‘Two miles below Macking light the Cambria at- tempted to run to windward of the Witchcraft, but failed, and the Witchcraft ran away from her, draw- ing on the Egeria and ¥lying Cloud, which had dropped astern, and gradually overhauling the Cam- bria. Om Shearness the Witchcraft increased the gap, the Cambria drew upon the Egeria’s quarter, while tne Glortana was a mile ahead, when her foretop- mast was carried awaw six fect from the cap, the Cambria still losing ground. At Nore light the Cambria and Witchcraft sailed into calm water, while the Egeria drew away half a mile, rapidly closing on the Gloriana. Just as she reached the Mouse lightship the Gloriana’s maintop- sail yard parted tn the slings. ‘The yachts rounded the frst mark in the follow- ing order:— Ars. Min, Sec. -2 3 36 42 42 at Glortana sssse ‘Toe Fleur de Lys did not turn the mark. After rounding ail took in square sails and flat- tened sheets for the run back, The Egeria soon passed the Gloriana to windward, the Cambria pass- ing the Witchcraft in the same manner. Near the Nore light the Cambria passed the Gloriana to windward, the Egeria being at this time well ahead of the feet and the Witchcraft about a mile astern, holding bad wind. Passing the Chapman lignton the way back the Egeria was a quarter of a mile ahead of the Cam- bria, and the Glortana (foolishly carrying her balion Jib), about the same aistance astern of the Cambria, the Flying Cloud next and the Witchcra/t last, In Lower Hope the wind headed them, and the Cambria lost ground in the several boards she made, while the Egeria lutfed up quite half a point nearer the wind than’ she did. The Flying Cloud uppeared to be within time allowance. With the exception of the Egeria increasing her lead there was no change tn the position of the vessels, and the race was finished tn vue tollowing order:— Hrs. Min. Sec. Egeria. 6 20 40 Cambr 6 25 30 Gloriana 6 30 10 ving C 6 34 36 Witchcraft... 6 40 oo Time allowance, ten seconds per ton. The Egeria won the first prize, and it was decided at the iast moment to give the two smalier vessels separate prizes, The Gloriana took the second prize inthe match, beating the Cambria on time. The Fiying Cloud, which rated 101 tons, but oniy eighty by the Royal Thames Yacht Club measurement, also beat the Cambria on time, but received a sepa- rate prize on account of not being rated first class, The course was from Gravesend to Mouse light and back. There was very little turning to wind- ward, but what little there was operated against the Cambria. The Prince of Wales accompanied the yachts in tie steam yacht Princess. Match of the Royal Loudon Yacht Club—Names of the Vessele—Description of the Race—The Cambria Beaten, Ertra, May 21, 1869. The yachting season in England generally com- mences with the matches of the London yacht clubs, and dirty old Father Thames is the water selected for their sports. It would be diMcult to find a place more ill-adapted for yachting than the Thames, which, in places, is scarce- ly @ quarter of a mile wide, and the wind is always puffy and paltry there m consequence of the draught caused by the numerous bends in the river and the high bulidings erected on its banks. The Thames to a Londoner ts a nobje river, and the Cockney points out with pride the few small yachts that make Eritn and Gravesend their headquar- ters. The arrival of such a vessel as the Cam- bria causes quite a sensation, and doubtiess the racing of to-day will be the subject of discussion in the fresh water yacht clubs for a longtime. The entries for the Royal London match were the Cambria, entered this time as 186 tons, her size during the winter has been increased by a four- inch padding forward, and her tonnage, by some un- accountable means, decreased two tons; the Julia, 109 tons, altered to a yaw! from a cutter; the Fiona, 78 tons; the Sphinx, 48 tons; Volante, 59 tons; and Muriel, 40 tons, The Muriei is new and isa very handsome vessel, but she is evidently under sparred. Of the vessels entered the Julia only did not putin an appearance, her boom and gai not beimg ready for her. The vessels were stationed as follows:—Cambria, Fiona, Sphinx, Volante, Muriel, the Cambria being to southward, all cutters except the Cambria. Before giving an account of the match | must give you a description of the Cambria, as she lay with her sails unturied and her racing bunting aloft:— The Cambria, to the sailor's eye, has her fauits, although the beauty of her hull compensates in a great measure the want of symmetry in her spars, As she lay at her moorings she appeared too much by the head, and her foremast is certainly stayed too much forward. Her bowsprit is apparently not long enough, and her topmasts are too long for her top- sails. On her main boom was fitted a spar for set- ting & ringtail and wateraail, and her halyards were rove for a haif-topsail. Her second working jib was slopped on the bowsprit and the balloon jib all ready for hoisting. At eieven o'clock A. M. the preparatory gun fired, and five minutes after the starting gan sent the yachts of fora trip around the Nore, the Cambria and Fiona setting their balloon jibs and the rest their working jibs. The Cambria was very smart with her canvas, but the cutters were too quick for her and were off, leaving her to bring up the rear ana to set her bailoon topsails at her leisure, which she accomplished at last, and sent up @ matin ballooner on @ fifty-five feet yard, and a jackyard on the foot of it twenty-five long. ‘After a run of about a mile the wind, which had hitherto blown from north by east, shifted a point or two, which brought the Muriel to windward and enabled her to fetch into St. Clement's reach. The Cambria was by this time three-quarters of a mile astern of the leading vessel and evidently losing round, As the land still headed her she took in her Banoon jib and set her second working jib. Her fore balloon topsatl, although hoisted for some time, had not yet been set, and as the wind was now right ahead it was li or no use in the short tacks, and it kept two men aloft to shift the sheet d jackyard over the triatic stay. Of Greenhithe the Sphinx, Muriel and Volante were ail of a ciuster, @ quarter of a mile astern of them, and If a mile astern of Fiona. The Cambria lost a great deal of her time in stays; she takes a very loug time to come round, and it 18 said that It takes three men to steer her in a breeze. Just before reaching Gravesend the Cambria caught a lucky putt and was going seven knots by the land, but sending up @ very ugly sea jast under her fore chains, this time the cutters were a mile ahead, and quite half a mile dead to windward. In Lower Hope the distance between the cutters and the Cambria was increased to one and a half ile, and the wind was now a good whole sail breeze, but not enough for the Sms which was bothered in with her foretopsail. No chi nge of importance took place until of the Chapman, when the Fiona weathered the Sphinx and Volante, the Cambria and Muriel being now so far astern as to be out of the race. The ebb tide had now done, and two guns were fired from the steamer as a signal that she was about to anchor and that the vessels were to round her, which was done in the following order:— HM. 8 HM. S& Fiona. 3 14 — Muriel.. 33 — Volante 14 48 Cambria . 8 3 10 Sphinx 4 49 Previe 9 rounding, the Cambria crossed her squaresail yard, sent up her ringtail and hoisted a biue ensign in her rigging, as a signal of protest. Once round the cutters set their spannikers, the Fiona unfortunately carrying away her spannike boom tn the hurry. The Cambria sec her squaresait on a yard of fifty-eight feet and over that a square topsail, beneath her main boom she carried a water- sail, and waa a splendid sight. ‘The run back presented no features of interest the Cambria losing more and more ground. or Gravesend the Fiona gave up, and left the Volante and Sphinx to contend for the first aud second prizes. The Cambria and Muriel were of course out oo race, The match was finished in a calm, as followa:— Not timed, Sphinx 7 19 40 Not timea, ‘The Volante, having to allow the Spinx four min- utes, lost the first prize, but the second prize of fifty guineas fell to her share. The Cambria did not = the markboat, and, therefore, the nature of er protest 1s not known. % It ls impossible not to perceive that the Cambria is not going as she ought. Her improvements are doubtful, her new rudder a failure, and altogether Mr. Ashbury made @ mistake in not letting well alone. By a strange coincidence the sails of all the Yachts in this race were made by Messrs. Lapthorne, of Gosport, and without exception they stood Ii boards, every square inch of canvas doing its worl The Cambria last week came into ¢ollision with French vessel and split her mainsail.

The New Thames Yacht Club—A Race With- out Wind—The Contesting Vessela—No Exe citement. ON BOARD THE MENAI, May 23, 1869. A yacht race when there is no wiad is never a very exciting or interesting spectacle, but a drifting match on the river Thames is calculated to tho- roughly disgust those on board the yachts and the Spectators on board the numerous craft that invari- ably accompany an English yacht race. Perhaps those who are most victimized are the correspond- ents and reporters of the various newspapers. They have literally nothing to communicate to their head- quarters, and the faces of these gentlemen (sic.), who are employed on the popular system of a penny a line, present a picture of blank dismay. Of all the miserable days for @ race, Saturday, the ‘22d instant, was the most miserable, and, to add to tne annoyance, the lack of wind was made up by acoplous supply of rain; and although everything that could be done to ensure success was done, the cutter match of the New Thames Yacht Club turned out a miserable failure. The following yachts entered for their race in the J, Chamberlayne. 5 am W. Stuttield. H. Bridson. E. Boutcher. 4—Fiona (this time). 5—Sphinx (this race) J.S. Earle, 6—Volante.. A. OC, Maudstay. Before attempting to give an account of this drift- ing race, 1 must notice the different tonnage that yachts are said to be in the several clubs. All these clubs use the same rule for measurement, and no comment, therefore, is necessary, as the fallacy 13 suf- ficiently obvious. The foliowing tabie shows the tonnage at which the yachts were entered, and the dates of the racts:— Royal London Match, New Traames Royal Thames. May 21, 169. May 22, 169.

The canvas was then crowded on them as fast as possible, all except the Menat setting their spannikers, but only to take them in again, as the “flaws’’ came off the land, and in- deed it was take In spanniker and up spanniker all day, making the race tiresome as well as tedious, The yachts drifted with the tide down the river as far as Southend, and the club steamer, tlading that there was no chance of the vessels going the whole course, which was from Gravesend to the Oaze Buoy, brougut up just below Southend pier and signalled for the yachts to round her; but to round her with no wind and against tide was found to be impossible, and the yachts let go their anchors, with che Cg uon of the Fiona, who hugged the Essex shore, in the vain hope of finding a pulf; and tuere they lay, within a mile of the steamer, waiting for a chance to get that which the lucky ve haa’ was the first to ob- tain, and away she went from the rest of tne fleet. Once round the steamer she was oif with a fair tide and the wind favoring her little. ‘The steamer was rounded as follows:— A. Me H, M. Sphinx . 6 13 Muriel. 6 2 Volante. 6 22 Rosebud 6 20 Menai 6 33 The wind sprang up @ little for the voyage back, but the Sphinx was too far ahead to be overtaken, and the dead beat back took place in nasty haze. The Muriel, however, drew on the Volante, and the race finished as. follows:— A. M. 9 4 Sphinx . olante, 5 = ‘The Sphinx therefore took first prize and Muriel the second by time. On Monday, the 24th inst., the Royal Thames cut- ter matcn will take place, and as the Condor, one of the Sappho’s opponents, will take part in it, it creates great excitement. H. M. . : 68 Muriel ............ Letter from the Owner of the Cambria Relat- ing to the Proposed International Race for the Queen’s Cup. No. 9 SUSSEX PLACE, HYDE Park GARDENS, LONDON, May 23, 1860. } To THE Eprrok OF THE HERALD:— Some kind unknown friend has sent me a slip out of one of your papers headed “Proposefl Match for the Cup won by the Yacht America in 1851,” to which I desire to repiy. When I gave my challenge, dated October 3, 1868, I did not then know that any spectal or any condl- tions were attached to ihe possession of the Cup and to him or those who might win it. There is no misunderstanding on my part, or con- fusion of ideas as to the several matches suggested by me in my communication of the 3d October, although it is possible the reporters may ha.e identified the Cup With the proposed race against the Dauatiess, ‘The prize for the latter race I bought moaths ago. For the Cup racesI have already requested an authority from one of the clubs for the Cambria to sail as its representative vessel. Thuis certificate, with the required measurement, will be sent to New York in due time. 1 am this day writing to the editor of the London Field on the subject of the proposed ocean race, and have the pleasure to inclose you a copy of my letter for the information of your readers, The reason why | have not communicated with the New York Yacht Club on the intended Cup race is that the Dauntless is datly expected, when the measurement question will be faily gone into and be settled one Way or another, thereby enabling me to finally shape my Cup challenge. No inconveni- ence can arise from this delay, masmuch as no American vessel is required to cross here, in con- neccion with the bite Between the tume of the Cambria leaving aad arriving in New York there would be ample time for the Phantom to prepare for the contest. Yours truly, JAMES ASHBURY, Another Letter from Mr. Ashbury—The Mea- surement Questi No. 9 Sussex PLACE, HYDE PARK aes LONDON, May 24, 1869, To THE EpIToR OF THE FIEL In @ portion of your leader of the 224 on “Yachting Prospects’’ you remarked, ‘It 18 said that the owner of the Cambria will exert himselt to bring about a match across the Atlantic.’ This would read as though I contemplated something beyond what I have already proposed, viz., to sail to New York any American schooner of the Cambria’s Royal Thames Yacht Club measurement, giving aten per cent mar- gin. Ihave no intention to issue any challenge to either English or Americans. My proposal was made to the latter, duly accepted by the owner of the Dauntless, and duly declined by me as not veing Within the terms of my challenge. This, as your readers know, raised the great Anglo-American discussion on the measurement question, and when the Dauntiess arrives she and the Cambria will be measured by the Royal Thames Yacht Club ruies. Such measurements will be referred to the commit tee of the Yachting Congress, along with the objec- tions or proposais of the Americans. The committee will then be asked to take the question into con- sideration and practically to settle whether our mode Shall or shall not be altered. if a modification of our system is considered re- quisite and desirable to take the place of the exist- ing rules, then the two vessels will be measured by the new national rules as applied to yachting, and ifthe Dauntless comes within the terms of my ten per cent margin the race (D. V.) between Cambria and Dauntless to New York will then take piace in August. If she does not come within the terms of my challenge the Americans must find another vessel or there Will be Do race across the ocean. Yours, truly, JAMES ASHBURY. YACHTING NOTES. It is sincerely to be hoped that the Atiantlc Yacht Club will be favored by the elements in a more pro- pitions manner on Tuesday next for their annual regatta than for their similar event which took pl last year, it will readily be remembered by those who were present that while every accommodation was provided and the fleet in excellent trim, there ‘was scarcely enough wind out to stir the sails per ceptibly. It is understood that no pains have been spared to render the regatta a success, and doubtless the bright expectations of the ‘spirited yachtmen will be happtly realized. As already mentioned, the steamboat General Sedgwick 18 to leave the foot of Montague street, Brooklyn, to accompany the race, Should the spectators be so numerous as last year steamed forth under the most glowing auspices, a brijlant adair, a4 far ap VisiLorg are cqneeryed, may — 7 be expected, as it will also be in a similar pout ot view, should the weather prove favorable. Few regattas ever came off under such auspices as that which will be given by the New York Yachs Club on Thursday next. The result of many months’ jabor and expense will be brought to the test. The repairs, alterations and improvements of the most prominent yachts in the fleet have beem alinost entirely completed, and an opportunity will be afforded them to try their new garb, A stiff breeze will be most acceptable, A brillant Party of visitors will prohably witness the contest should the weather be favorable. It fs needless to say that there were few occasions when the merits of the yachts were so keenly watched as at the forthcoming regatta, The value of the prizes for the two classes—sloops and schooners—is $250 for each class and one prize of $160 for the second class of sloops, The sailing course and directions for the start are as follows:—A flagboat will be anchored abreast of the cub Rouse, Staten Island. about three-quarters of a mile from the shore, west o' which the sloops will anchor in: line about 40 yards oor. and ae shocoeey in line Fo rds Lert i loops, about 50 yards apart. In taking poe! in line, each yacht may select its own in the order of its arrival at the anchorage, and the committee would suggest that the yachts arrive at the flag- boat as early as posstbie, so that there may be ne delay in the start. Mainsails, foresat's and gaff top- sails may be set before siarting, unless otherwise ordered by the committee. The signal for starting will be announced on the tmorning of the regatta. Yachts will proceed from the anchorage to the buoy off the Southwest Spit, pass- ing it to the west south, and thence to lightstip, rounding it to the northward and eastward, and return over same course, ing to the west of the flagboat off the club honse, going and returning. Going and returning, all the buovs on the West Bank, viz. Nos. 11, 13 and 15—are to be passed to the eastward. Entries wil! be received until raesday, June 8, an@ must be directed to the secretary of the club, and delivered at his office. No. 45 Liberty street, New York. The following gentlemen comport the regatta committee:—Messrs. F. Westray, Phillip Schuyler and Stuart M. Taylor. ‘The steamer Middletown, furnished for the excia- sive use of the members of the club and ladies ac- companying them, will leave the foot of Desbrosses street at ten A, M. Before the start the steamer will touch at the lower landing of the Staten Island ferry, near the club house, to receive members on board. After the race is over the steamboat will again call at the lower landing to leave those wishing to visit the club house, stopping at the same landing again at seven P.M. The steamtrg W. Fletcher, furnished for the use of the Regatta Committee, will leave the foot of Desbrosses street at nine o'clock A. M. pre- cisely. The steamer Josephine will also accom) the race with a party of ladies and gentlemen, leav- ing the foot of Thirty-fourth street, North river, at a quarter to nine o'clock. Altogether @ brilliant exb- bition is eagerly anticipated. THE PEACE JUBILEE. How the Rehenrsals are Progressing—An Eo- thusiastic Choir—Beston At Her Best. Boston, Masa., June 5, 1869. ‘The “Hub of the Universe’ is almost losing its equilibrium on account of the coming peace jubitee. ‘The festivities may be in honor of national harmony and general good feeling, but they certainly possess no feature indicative of peace in the literal sense of the word. During the day time there is an incessant roar of practising artillery, chiming of bells, rehears- ing of bands, pounding of anvils and everything else that is to work in and give sweet harmony to the great musical powwow of theage. The chief vocal rehearsal took place at Music Hall this evening, on which occasion the voices of some 5,000 choristers were united forthe first time. They went repeat- edly through the parts assigned them, and in @ unison so perfect as to astonish them- selves, the conductors and the listeners and give full assurance that the musical feature of the coming carnival will indeed be aa glorious and impressive as the most cultivated and fastidious could conceive. Tne rehearsal lasted some two hours, and during its continuance the principal pieces of the five days’ programme were performed. Other rehearsals will follow from time to time untt! a day or two previous to the opening, and the choristers, the bands, the artillery and other minor accompaniments will all be combined for one grand lesson preparatory to the great event itself. After the rehearsal had been concluded to- night, and when the 5,000 male and female singers were retiring from the music hall, some one of @ musical turn of mind struck up the ancient an@ popular air of “John Brown,” and almost involar- tarlly the whole chorus united, and it seemed asif the very roof of the building and the everlasting big organ would tumble in response to the echoes. Some endeavored to suppress the enthusiasm with # few faint hisses, but this was only a signal for —— ‘a key or two higher on the part of the singers. they accordingly went through every verse to the best of their vocal ability. But this was not all. The crowd came to a dead lock in the outer doors, an@ some one shouted “Let us have peace !” and imme- diately and with one accord the voices of some 5,000 ladies and gentlemen united in one accord, to the tune of America,’ in the expressive and significant words of ‘*So say we, all of us.” This was repeated over and over again, the chorus and notes goin: higher and higher every time, and the multitude both sexes becoming more and more jubilant and ex- cites at each repetition. Then, after a rest of scarcely a minute, the popular air of “We won’t go home tilt morning” was given by the whole multitude. In the midst of it the cruel janitor of the Maste Hall turned down the gas, but the choristers would not separave even after this until they had made the old edifice echo again and again to the tune of ‘Auld Lang Syne,” and when at last they did break up it was with cheers for the Peace Jubilee, for Genera! Grant, Jubilee Gilmore, the Coliseum and everything di- rectly or indirectly connected with It. In this connection it is proper to state that every- thing promises well for the great festival. The cit) will be filled with those prominent and not promi- nent, and the Bostonians will probably do their best to make a mark tn history by entertaining them well. The great Coliseum will be finished and decorated three or four days before tts occupancy, and the aay before the opening there will be a reception and en- tertainment in honor of the invited guests and press. FIELO DAY OF THE SEVENTH REGIMENT. ‘The flela day of the Seventh regiment, Co'onet Clark, takes place to-morrow at Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Line forms at the armory at eight A.
