Lonpon, Augus! 21, 1869. ‘The Morning Post has an editorial to-day on the coming international yacht race. It sa: “ine light wind and on smooth water there are seve- Fal English yachts that may be relied upon to beat Mr, Bennett's American yacht Dauntless at every point, The result of the recent race to Cher- Dourg and return as @ test was marred by an acci+ dent to the satis of the Dauntless, The impression mong yachtmen is that she does not “stand to her canvas’? and cavnot compete success- fully in heavy any more than she can in Might weather; but in going tee she probably would sail as fast or even faster ‘whan our deep vessels, A yacht race around the Axore Islands offers a fairer chance to teat the quall- tes of all vessels, If the Americans will not sail around the Isle of Wight, or Ireland, or on a short ‘home course, rather than forego the trial let us race @roupd the Azores.” As the time for the international boat race between tho Harvard College and the Oxford University fows draws nigh the excitoment in sporting circles inoreases.

If the Harvard crew win the race We will acknowledge that onr notions about our Style of rowing are antiquated absurdities. {From the Spectator.) The opinion in respect to the crews and ip regard to the chances of victory are nearly even. The pub- ito are inquiring if the Americans nave ever put out thelr whole strength. The course ts a hard one, but the race is likely to be close, if the weather ts bad the result will probably be in favor of Oxford; if ood the Harvards will win. A nice, alow English drizzle is the thing to take the heart out of the Americans, Regulations have been issnea to keep ‘the course clear for two hours before and until the rece is ended, Probable Governmental Changes in Canada— Preliminery Examluation of Harweod and Hatcher, Lonvon, August 21, 1860. The Morning Standard to-day has an editorial on Canada matters. The writer say: ‘There are provabiiities of a chi in the relations between Canade and Great Britain, which would be likely to be distasteful to a majority of the inhabi- tants of the Dominion, if they were consulted. If there ts any dissatisfaction with the exissing state of affairs, it 19 only by feelings that we can safely make intelligible to tnose south of the frontier. All that can be done under the present govern- ment is to repudiate the notion that a withdrawal of ‘the troops implies a desire to shuMe out of respon- albilities cast on Great Britain by tne presence of a Mag in coionial territory, which means military administration. England ts now in the hands of thowe who failto appreciate the Canadian ques- tion. Messrs.

Now] am not disposed, with the mercury creeping over ninety degrees in the shade, to carp at this wonderfully scientific discovery of tue healers of men, put I must confess toa full conviction that any never tnt*aded to include hotel proprietors in heal st aud I have been led to the misera,.” °atega,, sang of the hotel this conclusion by the AGU ‘oa _pgainst lords hereabouta, whom one stump. a at almost every atep; for I dare you are perfectly well aware that every other m=? ig hyp neighborhood 13 gupposed to be directly or indirectly @ hotel proprietor or nobday at all. I have noticed tnat they are invariably in theit ve."¥ best humor whenever a heated term come, about, and everybody else has got the blues a4 a pérapiring consequence. In fact, their good humor appears to increase 1n proportion to the rise of the mercury tn thé y ep elar gauge towards the fever heat point. To be alfé, EXtessiVely hot weather arives hundreda vot people out of the city to catch a breath of fresh air, and somehow or another a good many people come down here to catcn it; in fact, hun- dreds who never think of leaving town as long as the heat ts not altogether too purgatorial to be borne with any degree of Chriatian patience; and this naturally fills toe hotel man’s money baga to over- Mowing, But then this circumstance most assuredly cadnot be the cause of their excruciating good hu- mor {@ excruciatingly warm weather, for they are such uneefd#h men, are hotel proprietors. They know 80 well how tostand opon their dignity—s very frail platfornt a8 a rule—so well now to scrape ‘and bow tothe “paying” customers who order so much wine, and manage, without any very great atfMiculty, but at great expense, to ge jolly drunk every night; so well, in fact, how to look down with coon upon the pili attired guest who pays beard promptly, but adecta neicner green seal nor ‘euve Cliquot! The woather is horrtbiy warm here fast naw aud the crowds that are dutiy a¢riving at the various novels are immense. Just imagine the humor of the proprietors—on accouat of the of cours weal “suoppy."" Long Branch, in the opinion of most peopte who know a great deal about tt, aud who would kuow a great deal more about it than they do could they Only be prevailed to suffer a martyrdom of a whole season at one of the hotels, is rather an overrated place. For myself, I do not exactly know how it 1s that pewspaper correspondents never fall, whenever they visit it, to write it up as the acme of all that is delightful in the way of jammer resort for the Simon Pure aristocracy. The fact ia, with the ex- ception of a number of wealthy residents, who shun the usual ty to be found in the hotels as they would so many lepers, Long Branch Is shoday from the crown of Its head to the soles of its feet. ‘There are certainly to be met with now and then in the crowd individuals who do not know exactly the social atmosphere they breathe, yet breathe freely, thanks to their own obtusenoss; but, for all thal, the vulgarity that ts hidden beneath silks and satin, purchased, in nine cases out of ten, by the price ob- tained for bad whiskeys retailed by the measure at low groggeries, meets one on every side. It ia in vain that diamond rings of surprising size retiect the brilliancy of a thousand lignts in a ballroom, where everybody attempts to outdress every- body else withont regard to individual con- dition; for the stubby fingers will show themselves, and the slang taik of the uneducated rich one, fresh from the baser waiks of ite, will break in upon every conversation she or he eng: tn like the din of a breakfast gong in the midst of melodious music. In fact shoddy—not shoday of the war fortuno simply, but shoddy sprung from every source of sudden wealth without its due degree of cultiva- tion—prevails everywhere; at the dinner table, where the knife is made to stuff down the dessert in lieu of @ spoon; or @ waiter ordered to ‘‘pass that air butter, you fammickay” or ta the Parlor, where one shoddy tells the other that her “two young friends is ver weil, thank yer.” Some e. may say that the folks at Long Branch dress better and: more ex- pensively than at any otter of our summer resorts, ail of woica [ concede, and mote too, for the guests at Long Branch dress more than the folks at other reaorts, and, ia the majority of instances, with not ‘oue half the taste and good breeding displayed else- where, where both qualities are supposed to exist in an eminent degree. It may be, and I think facts rove that it 18, the fault of the really a toned People that all thia pretension, this mefeinicious show, this straining after effect, with no solid foun- dation to back it, should so usurp the place of the more valuable article ; but that is neituer here nor there. Facts are very stubborn things, gloss them over a8 you may, and one of the most stubvorn facts for certain people is thatthe Branch is overran ‘With shoddy as no other resort has ever been, THE LORD OF THB BRANCH. If there be one class more than another at this Place which, taitsown mind, is far ahead of the general ran of mankind, and’ which, by the way, Tay be safely set down as part and parce! of the shoudy carcass, it is that which the guest first en- counters on entering the hotel.

His walk is atately, his carriage majestic; his politeness am insult to all who come in contact with kim.

The walis and pillars were adorned with national fa: and buuting of all colors and descriptions, wuile large flags wero tastefully hung over and at the sides of the entrance way so as to form a sort of bower. Even the ceiling was hidden from view by tne display of bunting, and at various paris of the room huge bouquets of naural flowers were nestled among the folds cf the fags and banners, which not only Jent additionai beauty to tie general scene, but filled the room with a sweet odor as of crashed roses.

Lowell’s essenve of pure cussedness oxao'ly expressed the state of ine weather; and as to th poor mercury, it went up so high thas ut threatened jump out of the top of the tuve aud abscond, Novody said, “It ts very wari,’’ which would have been sosurd; noboly “It ee very hot day,” woich would have been absurd also. Everybody spoke eliort or did not 4 a all—words of two syllables pelng too | for use, besides being too unemphatie; and, as to tie matter of liquidation, it was otherwise than fmancially tilustrated. People whe had mover been known to liquidate Mnanctally; people to whom liquidation Was quite an unnecessary process from a business point of view—in a word, people of all ew and conditions betook themselves to spontaneous liqui- dation, and did it with an empressjnent that denoted comfort im go doing. They liquidated, and New York bade fair to be reduced to’ Mulds altogether, Soda water was in demand, 7,000 Risnses being dis. pensed at a single counter; Catawba oobbiers went up to twenty cents, which had been but ten cents all summer; toes and ice creams were exhausted by the son, aud still New York, armed witb baif a mi- lion paim leaf fans in as many ands, could nut keep cool—could not even get cool. At nine o'clock Friday morning the thermometer had risen to eighty in the shade, and was atiil, ike stocks, infected with & ay upward tendency. ‘Tne day was not one of dolve far nienje, properly speaking. It was too hot to foil lazily; too hot to irowse; too bot for anything except to trouble the recording angel with a little of Uncle Tony's coin. Poor creature! W jer of Human profan- ity he may have undertake: book—beg pardon; celestial angels are not of the same gender as ter- restriai—he was unable to book it legibly, espe- cially if he bad happened to bend at all over the books; for beads of perspiration blot badly, and whatever he undertook to record was blotted Lile- gibly ia the a8 of recoraing. Was so, if the recording angel liquidated yesterday, as poer ha- manity did—for a vapor of perspiration as- ceuded upward in dense volumes from the heated eky; and for the nonce all New York was humed. The first member of the climax was Fri- day, when at noon the thermometer threatened the ninety, and there was no atirring except at immi- neat rusk of being reduced to liquid form and evap- orated, Peopie wita ag inclination to be graphic expressed & Wish to sit in their bones and get cool, aud re: wouid have been nothing but bones nad they not beat a speedy retreat to the shaae. Tho sun did more than shine; the sanshine was some- thing more than sunshine, 1¢ was as if the great central luminary dripped flre—dripped heat, dead, intolerabie and intense. Pedestrians crawied aioug on the shady side of the street, and collars had started down town fresh, prim and white, stud a8 laundry could make them, went howe u three all forlorn. The wearer had liquidated and the whole city for the day had been oue process of Perspiration—a@ hydra-Leaded tlustration of exces- sive capillary attraction. New Yorkers are & patient people—pailent with the weather—pationt with the city officials and lizards of politics—patient with all sorts of abuses and elite ‘= and nostrums—patient for a day with anyching. True, that of New York which bad an inciipation to profanity awore a littie; bui, gene- rally speakinw, the remark “It'il be cooler to- morrow," a remark which was repeated s0 often that everybody went nome considering it a sottied fact. But there is never one day of Inferno with- out two, and seldom are there two three. Thursday was warm, Friday was hot, Saturday was hot with H. W. B.’a expletive—tres dias winferno already, aud no more to come for this me. Mew York went home and went to bed on Friday with the profound conviction that tt would be cooler me next day, slept uneasily aud slept not at all in spots, shook loose from a perapiratiou-reeki drowse, and got up to find it hotcer than ever. was no luxury to lie still, for even ae still could not prevent perspiration, and st che slightest move- ment of muscle oozed from the cuticle and stood tn huge drops upon wrist and forehead. ‘The thermometer began bigh and went higher, standing at ninety-three, at three P. M., in the shade, whicn Was ten dogrees in exceas of the figure at the same hour, same date last year. There was, howover, a alight atir ef wind, and the heat, though more ex- cessive, was less silent, sultry and deadly oppressive. At four P. M. a baze began to appear aud overcast the heavens oa beens py tee Cs in the west, for in days like jay ightn! mana- factured by the dozen dye ry Jupiter 15 apt to be busy—busier than usual—forging thunderbolts. On the whole, therefore, 16 must be conceded that, though warmer, yesterday was more comfortable than the day before, because # trifle more breesy. The most oppressive part of the day was from nine to twelve in the morning, Saturday seemin to have begun exactly where Friday ei off. Along in the afternoon vapors veiled the sun @ — ene the heat was EI hag mid sun, one word, did not seem to drip fire, blistering, sing! fire, as it had done in the morning; and though the liquidation was a trife ireer, proving wat tae weather had not moderated, it was rather more comfortable. The heat of the morning was singeing uncomfortable, externally felt; the heat of te siter- noon was seen 1n 11s results more than in its pro- cesses—proved that it was by the reeking perspira- tlon that it induced rather than by what ist -rmed in the country sun Dilstering—was more debiitating, with less inclination to coup de golgil. At three o’clock there had been manifested a visibie inolina- tion to abate; and whereas in the morning the day had been hotter than Friday, in the afternoon it was one degree iess—the thermometer standing at 94 at turee P. M. Friday, and at 98 at three i’. Mi. yesterday. At nine in the morning tue mercury had yone ay to 97, with an obscured sun; at noon it was only 91, with some obscuration of tle sun by a thin film of haze, and from noon there was @ ballin the advance as, compared with the pre ceding day. dhe following record will show the changes in the temperature for the past twenty-four fours ta cow Parison With the corresponding clay of jase year, 4% indicated by the thermometer at Hudnut’s pharmacy, Hwexacp Buliding, Broadway, corner ef Aan sirect 1869, 1863, 18 “4 84 «OP.
