The Arrival of the Dauntless—A New Era in Yachting—The Irish Church Bill—Dissensions i» the Cabinet—The Alabama Question—A Curious Statement by Gladstone. Lonpon, July 12, 1869, At half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon, Lon- don time, the gallant American yacht Dauntless, Qying the Vice Commodore's pennant, arrived at Queenstown, and the news was quickly telegraphed to London that she had made the run from port to port—New York to Queenstown—in the surprisingly short time of twelve days and seventeey hours, At first the intelligence was discredited, the inward bound steamers having reported heavy and unfavor- able weather, and the arrival of the Dauntless not being looked for under at least seventeen or eigh- teen days trom her time of sailing; but when @ telegram from her owner set all doubts at rest there was @ general exclamation among the astonished Londoners of “Good Yeavens! She beats the steamers, you know !”” Although there was no race to raise the interest in the event, it is yet not too much to say that this new achievement in American yachting has occasionea as profound a sensation here as was created by the great ocean race in which tue Henrletta was the victor, fhe fact thatan American yacht, with its owner and @ party of friends on board, has run across the terrible Atlantic on a pleasure trip, and ude the distance from coast to coast in less time then it ia ordinarily made by many a first class Steamsbip, seems to put altogether a new feature upon yachting, ana to cast the little puddle races of the English vessels Into the shade, Hitherto Eng- land has been regarded as the legitimate home of yachting, aud her royal yacht clubs have assumed Ww lord itover tue world, She has done much to ‘Win this enviable distinction. Her men of weaith have shown pride, energy and liberality in their patronage of the elegant amusement, and her model- lers and builders bave had every mducement to exert their aduitted wbilities to tue utmost on this escription of vessel. If they have falien short and if certain exploded aud absurd regulations in regara to yachting have been suffered to exist, it haa been attributable soiely to the characteristic sei-coud- ence, not to say obstinacy, of Englishmen, and to thelr slowness to accept the lessons of a rapidly pro gressive age. Bat henceforth Engish yachting must bear much the same comparison to American yacht- lug that a sham fight does to a real battle, and the British yachtman must take a lesson to skill and daring of his American brother, unless he desires to Gegencrate to the standing of a baby boat sailor in the estimation of the world. The challenge of the Dauntless to race the cham- pion English yacht, the Cambria, from Cowes to New York on the Ist of September next, wiil offer @ fair opportunity for judging whether the pinck of the English yachtmen is up to the oceasion, or whewwer they aré willing to be left behind im a manly sport in which they have hitherto claimed to be leaders. If their courage should fatl Wer now their taland matches, channel races aud lixie pleasure trips within having distance of the Shoxe will soem like child's play beside tho achieve. mens of American yachts, Tae fact is, the “swella” of the royal yacht clubs of Great Britain must make uy) \heir ininds to extend their races across the A Jane and to make thelr pleasure excursions to the Avwerican coast unless they are contented to be vied dry water yaoutmen for the rest of their days.

Let us hope that the zeal and conildence he expressed a few nionths ago will not ve found to have anated next September. It shonid be stated that the Daunt- Joss, notwithstanding her unprecedented run, was by mo means favored by the weather, Some idea may be formed of her qualities when it is remem- bered that the Cunard steamship China, one of the best of the lino, left New York on the 30th of June, the day after the Dauntiess salled, passed the yacht fF cceeaOunoe te eth of July, and only arrived 1 OF two Y Bagless. pom days before the ie Portsmouth Regatta Committee are dotn; their utmost to provide a welcome for the ‘Americas yachts, and @ suitable prize will be offered them.

If the posiuom taken he by the Americaus is to be Justified at ali they can scarcely fear any ‘discussion that may take place here or elsewhere on tie Alabama question. The party who has suffered a grievous wrong 1s not usually the one to shrmk from an inquiry into the facts. Yet Mr. Gladstone must ettuer have had the authority of the American representative for his statement or he must have used It unwarrantably a8 @ ineans of ex wicating himaeif from an awkward position. Gene- ral Grant should insist upon knowing from Mr, otiey whether he has sald anything to justily the English Minister in the statement that the American government is afraid of @ discussion of the Alabama question. If such siouid prove to be the fact, it may turn out that the spieadid saloons of the British aristocracy are as fatal to American diplo- macy as are the weil-covered diuner tables of tie more biaff and jovial John Bulls of Liverpool, Man- chester and London, ‘The United States Government and the Cuban Rovoluti m the London Star, July 13.] But unless we are to reject the accounts given in the very Journais which opposed the idea of a Cuban expedition from the first, We must come to tue con- clusion tast the United States government has not been altogether able to prevent breaches of nen- trauty similar to those which occurred in_ this country uring. the long striie between North and South, We put aside the glowing sto- ries of venture which have emnellished the columas of some of our New York contempo- raries, aud confine our atteation only to well-attest- ed narrativesof expeditions which it is notorious have escaped from New York. In the first place, a vessel laden with men and munitions of war was fitted out a tew weeks ago under the very eyes of the authorities, and a correspondent of the Tribune was instructed to make a voyage in it. His letter, an- nouncing his sate arrival at Nipe Bay, has been re- ceived, although not stag more has since been heara of him. If he has perished on some fearful battle feld his melancholy end will oniy be another proof of the dangers of Violating neutral relations between frendiy Powers, Then, again, we learn from the Tribune, which is, probably, not aisposed to deceive us on this subject, that down to the 1d of June 5,000 men had landed in Cuba trom the United States, Mexico and ine South American repubiics— sufficiently comprehensive recruiting feid to satisty any Oppressed pevpie, Generai Jordan is said to bé commanding & small army of 2,000 Ainerican “veterans,” and clothing for over troops Was con- stantiy arriving. We derive from another public source the fact that in tne latter part of June two sioops-of-war eacaped from New York and that a third or fourth expedition had beea interrupted oo the point of starting. Jt must, we think, be taken for granted that some steamers fitted out for the succor of the insurgents in Cuba have really escaped from American ports, while others have beeu stopped. It has, of course, occurred to many Americans that this ts @ close repetition of the experiences of the English government during their owa war.

The parallel is not lackiog in any easeniial feacure, for the Spanish Consai at New York warned the ‘uorities that the expedition which after. wards landed at Nipe was being organized in detauce of the laws. We have no desire to dwell upon these incidents, still less to utter any insinua- tion against the good iaith of the United States gov- ernment; but we may reasonably hope that the Atmericans see more clearly than they did before that It 18 not always easy in disturoed Umes to pre- vent a transgression of the iaws of neutrality, They would probably not like to be culied upon to pay hail the expenses iacurred by Spain in the suppression of the Ouban revolt, Yet American intervention has undoubtedly helped to proion: the insurrection, it is hard to understand where the insurgents obtained arms and money from in the eariy stages of their project, If not from the United States, Tbe government has resoiutely declined to be ied into an act of open hostility to- wards Spain; but the Lairds of America have, in one or two Insta &t least, contrived to outwit it, this does not excuipate England irom any fauits tor which she cwn justly be heid responsible, but it serves to show that the same faulis may be com- mitted by another nation at the very time it Is exact. ing redress for (uem, FRANCE, Text of the Empeoror’s Message to tho C Legislatif.

The Trip from Troy to Saratoga—The Ree ception Tuere, the Ball and the Departnre for Albany. SARATOGA SPRINGS, July 23, 1569. ‘The journey of the Seveuth regiment fiom ‘voy to Saratoga was a periect ovation. The houses in every village between that city and this place througi which the train passed were gaily bedecked with ational flags, and crowds of persons assembled at ail the aepots at which the cars stopped todo the command honor, The reximent arrived here about four o’clock yesterday aiteracon, aud was received by the President of the village, wo welcomed the men in tie name of the peopie he represented, An immense crowd was in waiting at the depot when the train arrived, and as the regiment left the cars and formed into line in the street they were welcomed by the gathering, who cheered them repeatediy in the most enthusiastic manver. Ali along the route of march to the village proper dense crowds lined the sldewaiks, and every- thing went to show tuat the day was being kept as a houday by all classes. The houses on Broadway, through which the regiment passed, were tastefully hung vith banuers aud flags, and from the Union Hotel baicony an immense flag was suspended, bear- ing in iarge black letters, ‘‘Weicome to the Seventh.” As the command marched down be- tween Congress Hail aud the Union, the stoops of which were crowded by an immense gather- ing of guests, the larger portion of whom were ladies, it was grected with the most hearty Applause and the waving of handkerchiefs from every window, which was, by the way, also flied with a8 many eager sightseers as were abie to enscunce wuedselves, With safety, ou the silis.

It 1s almost needless to state that the parade wasavery fine one, afd that the Spectators eujoyed tne sight, judglug from the fre- quent applause with which aluost every movement ‘Was coiupiimented. The feature of the visit of the command, however, ‘was the complimentary ball given it by the visitors @nod residents of the village, for which I necd scarcely add the most extensive preparations were mado for many days im wivance of its arrival. rhe new ballroom, located at the eustern epd of the beautiful “‘cominon,” which lies between the two wings of the Union Hotel, was thrown open for the occasion, and was brilliantly iiguted b; hundreds of gas jets snd adorned with a iavish profusion of buuting.

Hundreds of visitors paid the grounds a visit during the evening, Merely 0 witness the Liluin'pation and its accompanyiug attractions. The majority of the ladies Who monopolized the attention of the gray coats were New Yorkers of the higher classes of 60- ciety, and they, of course, made their appearance in the most costly of silks and satins, Indeed, the assemblage of beautiful women Was periectly vewil- derimg, aod 1 doubt very much Saratoga ever beiore bebeld so many beautlful Women congregated toetuer as were at the bull, The musio was fur- nisied by Gratulla’s band, melodiously aided and avetted by two other bands, and the eifect of this strong coinbination of “concords of sweet sounds’?

The winning crew received the flag deaotiag the chainplouship of the lake. ‘The Lext was the great race of the day, and the college contest, in which all New Engiaud takes a deep interest, abd more especially thowe sections where Harvard and iale are located. The Yale University crew Was made up as follows:—George Washington Drew, Class of 1810 (stioke), of Wintel port, Me.; Wililam Amasa Copp, 1392, of New En jand Vilage, Mass.; David McCoy Bone, 1570, of Petersburg, ih; Wiliam “Heary’ Lee, \870, of Chicago, lil; Edgar Davis “Coonley, 1871, of Greeusville, N. -Y.; Roderick ‘Terry, 1870 (bow), of Irvington, N.

He 1s considered one of the best bow oars Yalo has ever had. He is the youngest man of the crew, being only twenty years of weighs 155 pounds, and is six feet and three-eighths of aninch in height, The Yale crew have been Vigorousiy trained during the past six weeks by Josh Ward, which added to their regular gymnastic and rowing weight practice of last win- ter, has placed them fo fine condition. They havea new Lilivtt boat fifty-three feet long and twenty-one inches wide, the same being of about the same di- Mensions as that of the Harvara crew, ‘The idarvard six were seated in their boat in the following order:—Francis Ogden Lyman, Class of 1871, (stroke), of the Hila Hawaiian Isiands; Theo- phiius Parsous, '71, of Brookline, Mass.; Joseph 3. Fay. Jr., of Boston; Grinne!l Wults, '70, of Cornwall, N. Ys} George Irving Jones, ‘Tl, of Templeton, Mass.; Nathaniel Goodwin Reed, '71, (vow), of Cam- bridge, Mass. This 13 a very poor crew—barely sec- ond réle ase whole, Fay and Lyman are the two best and only noteworthy men. The crew refused to give any figures concerning their dimensions, and talked before the face as though they would inevitably lose it uniess some accident happened to the Yaie crew.

Fivo of the crew Weighed from 156 to 162 pounds, and Reed, the captain, only 135, Willis 1s @ son of the late X. P. Wiis, and 1s a very fair oarsman. Their ages are about ag follows:—Lyman, twenty-three; Larsona, twenty; Pay, twenty-two; Willits, twenty; Jones, twenty-one and Reed, twenty, Fay pulied in a number ofsingié gcull races last year, and obtain- ed considerable reputation as an export oarsman. At twealy minutes before six o'clock the Univer- sity crews took their station over tie rope. Some Litiie time was consuined tn arranging for tue start ing signal, but the words “Loox out for yourselyes,'? followed in ilve seconds by the word “Go! was finally agreed upon. ‘The appearance of both crews was fine, but that of the Yale atiracted the most attention, and all the autaken ofters to bet were in their favor, Drew, the siroko oarsinan, received es) jal encomium for his Me bearing and pow- erful musciea, Copp, the second oarsiman, Lad a fine figure and sat gracefully in his seat, pulling with perfect ease. The whoie crew Were a splendid set of fellows, and in all their previous exercises had suoWN @ great apparent superiority to their com. petitors. The Harvard orew had two of the most powerful oarsmen ia Ainerica, viz., Fay aud Lyman, Who are said to be porsessed of almost inextausti- bie strength.

At the words “Look out for yourselves,” both crews were in the are of “‘ready;’’ but the five seconds interveniug tween the caution and the signal seemed to dis- concert the Yale crew, and when the word “G came they we Fs ly. uuprepared and did not pull together.

The reverses which the Mu\uals have met with have opened their eyes to the fact that too much managewent ts as bad as nove at all, and they came to the conclusion that some reform shouki be in- augurated in order that the presuge of the club might be maintained. Itis said that ‘in a multi- tude of counsellors there is wisdem,” but the nulti- tude of counseilors which the Mutuals have had does not appear to have shown'exceeding wisdom. The “Base Ball Guides" and “Books of Reference” which have been published from time to time have contained essays on the Lmportaace of nines being placed under the conurol of one person, wo should see that the players were properly trained to the working of their respective positious, and who should be clothed with power to command, The efficacy of bis system has veen amply demonstrated in the Cincinnati “Red Stocking” pine avd others in au. ferent parts of the couutry, and at last the Mutuais have adopted it, They have recouatructed their Mine, and a set of stringent rules for their guidance ig about tobe insiituted. Yesterday tie uiue, as reiormed, appeared for pracuce at the Union grounds, and 4 sivong fieid was pitted against thew, Wolters was not on haud. Swaudell acted u8 pitcher, McMauona, who ts aout two retire, was placed in Meu of Woiters in tie nine, In “the feld” party were Kelly aud Ged- ney, Of the Empire Club; Burrougis, formeriy of the Kuresa, of Newark; Murray, formerly oi the Harlem Ciub; K. Hunt, 2. Hunt aud Tyson, of the Mutual; Suilivan, of the Kagie, and others selected from those who were present, making tweive in all. The “ieid” side Was ailowed six Lands out to an inning, and a full gaiue was played, at tue ead of which te score stood—Mutuul ui, Fleld 18 ‘The nine, a3 re formed, comprises ©. Mills, c.; E. Mulls, 1st b.; Flanly, 24 b,; tatield, 3d b.; Nertun, 8. 8.5 Austin, 1. f.; Egger, c.f; McMahon, r. Wolters, not having responded to notices sent film, will probably be dropped from the nine. It is Feported that a new pitcher has veen secured, but who he is or where he comes from has not been made public. Burroughs may possibly be the man. He pitened for the fleld side yesterday very eitec- tively, aad had he been properly supported would have male agood show. The Mutual nine gee weil in their respective positions, but the work Wey had to do was lgit for them. Swaudell pitched very nicely; George Flaniy, in his old position, aid very well, and Hatileld, at third base, proved con- clusively that he was in @ most fitting place. His throwing Was remarkably accurate and fatal to those Whom he eudeavored to “head off.” Norton was quite lively at short, and threw to the bases awiftly and correctly, There was not very much work for the outfleiders, but what iittie they nad to do they did well. Of “ine field? party Gedney, at jeft, K. Hunt, Kelly, Murray and Burroughs carried of the honors, Juin pier who has been given control of tie Mutual nine, intends to have the nine bogey regularly twice a week against selected eam jes, such as thal of yesterday, if not engaged in playing matches. A new uniform bas been adopted, to consist Of bine shirt and kneedreeches and een stockings. A systéw of flues will probably be in- stituted, and players not putting in an appearance @t match games, or uot having their uniorms wm good condition and committing such like offences, wi be obliged to suffer some pecuniary loss. The ‘utuals undoubtedly mean work, and with the ma- gctial at their command should be second to no clup the country, Eckford vs. Irvington. ‘The champions went out to Irvington yesterday to meet the plucky young Jerseymen who comprise the club at that place, The Irvingtons presented a good, strong nine, which included Crawford, one of their old players, but lately a member of the Washington “‘amateur” nine. The game which was played, although very good, was little more than a practice match for the champions. It was opened with such sharp playing that all present thought a fine exhibi- tion was in atore for them; bat in the second innings the Eckfords commenced their hard and safe hitting, defying the prowess of Campbell to prevent them baiting aud taxing to the utmost tne skill and ng lity of the fielders, Bayley soon changed places with Oampbell, and by piiching very slowly bothered the Bis sree gt for time. Thoy soon got “ihe hang” of Bayley’ delivery and proceeded to punish it as effectively as they did that of his predecessor. In the last innings the Eckfords relaxed their efforts and the Irvingtons scored six rans when they should have won only a blank. Wood, tp attempting to make @ double play, took the ball on tho fly, guided it a short distance toward the erpana, and then clutching it as it re- bounded and throwing to Hodes, who ta turn threw it to Allison, succeeded in Pagan eo two men, @ umpire decided boih men out, This, of course, 1s in compliance with the iaw, but to a certain ex- tent only, as it was questionable whether Mr. Wood did not actually hold tue ball. The point 1s per- fectly legitimate, but It t@ one which should require the greatest nicety to be kept strictly within the law. Of the playing, that of Nelson at third, on the Eckford side, and of Crawford, on the Irvington aide, deserves most 8) mention. Lines, baton and M, Campbell, of the Irvington, and Pinkham, Jewett ana Allison, of the Eckiord, shouid also be mentioned as having done good execution in their porneraye posiuons, The score of the game is us follows:— BATTING 8CORR.

News from Texas being now, as it almost atways has been, casual, fragmentary aud unreliable, the reporter of the HRALD resolved to see Governor Throckmorton in person and learn something defle nite, intelligible and true about vhe social and politis cal condition of the Lone Star State. The Governor fought alt through tue rebellion on the Confederate side under McCuilouga, Van Dorn and Dick Taylor, @nd im the last year of the war commanded the forces detatied to protect the Texan frontiers, He Was president of the convention called by Governor Jack Hamiiton to fame a constitution for the State, and on the submission of that constitution to the peopie was elected Governor by a majority of 36,000 over Pease, His administra. tion of affairs in Texas was marked by energy, ablil- ity, aspirit of generous forbearance and a forgive and forges polioy better calculated to heat the wonnds of civil strife than all the formal legislation that could be framed, Ln regard to the negroes the Governor at the start acvised @ temper of kindly consideration, poiuting out the impossibility of a race just ¢mapelpated from degrading bondage throwing off uli at once the habits incident to their former state, He feit sutistied that time, experteace and the tuevitabie spread of intellgenee among the freedmen would worx a wonderful chang” for the betier in their character, aud he is now willing to testify that euch uge has been accomplished to agreaier extent than wight have been commonly anticipated, As the election tn Texas comes off 20th of September next, according to the recent procia- mation by President Grant, and as the country ts qaturally anxtous to know how the so-cailed derce, turbulent sud ungovernable, State of Texas takes to the idea of reconstruction and permanent unton, how it likes the admmuistration and how it intends to act in the election that restores it to its long lost Place upon tie azure eld of the flag, tt may be Ine teresting to hear wiat Governor Throckmorton says upon the situatioa in the subjoied cafoquy:— REPORTER--Governor, how do the people of Texas feel upon the question of having their election put down for the soth of November ? GoverNon—Tiey feel mortified, sir, They have been yearning for reconstruction, and directing @ siucere spirit of conformity to the requirements of Congressional laws and executive orders, that it miglt hasten the desired eud of final restoration, and they are naturally aggrieved at what they con- bider an Unbecessary aud harassing delay.

Some allowance ought tu be mace for us on these grounds. First, at ¢ne close of the war an immense number of Confederate soldiers, represeat ail the Southorn States, were disbanded in texas. Among them were very many iawieas characters, who, without money or the meaus of wansportauon to their homes, were forced to stay in our Widet. At the same time a considerabie force of Northern soldiers were dis. banded, and among them also was an element of lawlessness that set tue spirit of law and order to- tally at delance, Ou the Mexican border, running wild as the buifalo itself, were bands of cutthroat and rovpers who were one day at this side of the Rio Grande and tue next day at the other. Then, og the nortiawestern froaticr we hai a terra incognita that furnished a secure refuge to all the desperadoes who, having — perpetratea mug: der and = yillany, ded there for shelter, only to return at the frat favoravie opportunity and re-enaet a scene of blood and terror. ‘Lo mect this state of things We had nothing but mdividual exertion, There was uo State gov- eroment, no office: s of Lie law, nO magistrates, no nothing, except a landiul ef United States troops on tie seacoast.
