THE INTERNATIONAL RACE. Comments of the British PresemA Friendly Interlacement. Lonpon, Sept. 1, 1860. The London News to-day say: “When Charles Dickens left this country on his last vistt to America we expressed the hope that he might do service in the cause of peace and good will. Mr. Dickens has not resigned this peaceful mission. Nothing could be in better taste and feeling than his hearty speech at the banquet on Monday evening. His wide and intimate knowledge of his countrymen enabied him vo express the admiration and esteem which the Harvard men have earned for themselves in England We hope there will be a return match in America, and feel confident that Oxford will meet as brotherly @ welcome there a3 Harvard hag here. We rejoice that our kinsmen are satisfied with the arrange- ments which were made for the race. We trust that for all time there may be no other or less generous rivalry between the pride and flower of Old and New England. Transatlantic Cambridge has upheld the honor of the ancestral name in patriotism, statesman- ship and intellect, and lastly in dignity in defeat. To the errors of impetuosity and impatience, rowing authorities attribute the defeat. These are the ex- cess of the qualities of an old stock, the temperar ment of @ people’s youth. What may not the allt- ance of two such rivals do for the better future of the world? The Standard protests against the annual recur- Tence of the international race, and thinks it hardly rignt to exact such physical and pecuntary sacri- fices every year. By severe training the Harvards won the position to entitle them to come as chal- lengers. A second trial would involve a strain of pbysique and an interruption of studies which it is not fair to exact for the gratification of the rivalries ofthe sporting world, The/Standard trusts the re- newal of the contest will be firmly resisted for some years, CUBA.

Explosion on a Wrecked Ship at Norfolk— Three Men Killed and a Number Wounded. WASHINGTON, Sept, 1, 1869. The following has been recetved from Richmond:— On Monday last the ship Ann Eliza, from Liverpooi to Baltimore, went ashore on Smith’s Island, near Norfolk, having sprung a leak, with eleven feet of water in her hold. News having been brought to Norfolk the Baker Brothers, wreckers, took down their steam pumps and put them to work on the ves- sel. While the engines were in full operation at night an explosion of the boiler occurred killing Mr. Joseph Baker, son of one of the owners, who nad cl . and two other white men, and seriously wounding two white men and four negroes. The facts re- ported are as follows:—Mr. Baker had charge of both engines. A few minutes before eleven o'clock at night a ne called his attention to one of bollers, Which appeared to act strangely. He e: ined it and found that there were sixty poun of steam on and that a nut was loose and the steam rapidly escaping. He called for a monkey wrench to adjust the nut; the negro handed him one and at the same time jumped be- hind one of the pumps. The next instant there was @ terrific explosion and the deck of the shi} ‘Was agmass of ruins—machinery, timbers and cord- age being scattered around in great confusioi while the darkness was made terrible by the cries o! the wounded and dying. The body of Mr. Baker was blown into the rigging, and it was found that the whole of his head above the mouth had been away by the explosion. The wounded men were taken to Norfolk and every attention paid them by the citizens, The body of young Baker was also Laas He upand the flags of the ipping in port were placed at half-mast as a token of re- spect. He was @ married man and about twenty- five years of age. The accident, it is,thought, was caused by the water in the boller getting too low. Dam: to the ship and the pump boats will be speedily repaired, and the work of extricating the — Eliza and getting her afloat will be prosecuted at once. LOUISIANA.

Gustave Dore’s Paintings in America. Severai of the original grand paintings of Gustave Doré were privately exhibited at the Somerville Gal- lery, corner of Fourteenth street and Fifth avenue, yesterday and will be hereafter exhibited to the pub- lic, “‘Jephtha’s Daughter’? 1s a magnificent oil paint- ing of colossal proportions, and exhibits the Jewish maiden sitting on a rock and barren hill surrounded by seven other Jewish maidens on the early morn- ing of the last day when she was to be made a sac- rifice to the vow of her father. The rays of the rising sun burst forth with gorgeous splen- dor, showing with remarkable distinctness the figures in the foreground. Raised some- what above her compantons the doomed maiden sits with downcast eyes, her whole countenance being full of beautiful expression and submissive- ness, which seem communicated to those around her. The glorious dawnand first roseate hues of the rising sun in the background make a grand picture alone, »ut the figures of Jephtha’s daughter and her companions in the foreground giand out in such bold relief that the eye becomes riveted on them. The attitudes of the figures are full of expression and tell the sorrowfal story. “Dante and Virgil in the Frozen Infernal Regions" shows the appalling fan- tasy of both the @uthor of the “Inferno” and the artist. Both the great poets are standing conspicuously om the canvas contemplating the agony of the damned, who are sealed in ice, yet with suMcient freedom to exhibit in fearful contortions their evil passions and the misery they endure. It makes one shudder to look on this. wonderful creation of the imagination. ‘Jonas An- nouncing the Fail of Nineveh” and “Dante and Virgil in the Maleboge Circle” are smaller pictures and in water colors, yet they are magnificent specimens of the creative power and surprising execution of Doré,, This great master may probably de called the Michael Angelo of the present age, for nis works. have the same grandeur of conception and boldness. of execution. The details in some respects and the anatomy of the figures represented may not. bear a critical analysis; but we lose sight of such criticism in the striking and general effect. These magnifi- cent pictures ought to be kept in America, now they are hese. Some of our wealthy people ought to.pur- chase them; and our Israelite fellow citizens should, by all means, buy the ‘“Jephtha’s Daughter’ for one of thetr fine synagogues, THE PARK CONCERT.

The regular monthly coal sales of she Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Company, suspended in consequence of the difficulties in the mining region since May, were resumed yesterday, with the auc- tion of 80,000 tons of Scranton coal, delivered at Elizabetbport. An unusual number of coal dealers were in attendance and the large hall was fliled to its utmost capacity. The operatora previous to the commencement of the gale manifested considerable uncertainty respecting the character which prices might assume, and seemed to apprehend from. the derangement prevailing in the mining regions that some diMculty might attend the fulfiment of the contracts to be made by the company to deliver 80,8000 tons during the month. This feeling was somewhat encouraged by a condition in the termsof sale providing that ‘if at any time the business of the company is interrupted by storms, floods, breaks, accidents, comb{nations, turnouts, strikes among miners or other employés, or by any other source whatever, a8 to materially decrease the quan- Wty of coal which the company would otherwise bave been able to obtain and deliver at Elizabeth. port during the month tn which the coal now sold is deliverable, the company will not hold itself liable for or pay any damages sustained by reason of the non-delivery of the coal now sold, or of any portion thereof, although @ portion of the coal that is re- ceived at Elizabetbport during said month may in the usual course of the company’s sales and busi- ness be disposed of otherwise than tn the fulfilment of the contracts made oy this sale. Nor will the Commpany,_ 30) case © coal now sold ts not delive: undertake @ pro rata distribution among the respective purchasers of what is deliv- ered; out in all cases of non-delivery trom any of the above causes, the money paid on the coal will be promptly refunded.” ‘The auctioneer, Mr. John H. Draper, was greeted wth hearty applause as he Mounted the stand to commence the sale, and after the announcement of the terms and conditions, very enthusiastic applause Was olicited by the following despatch read by Mr. Sloan, president of the company:— SCRANTON. . SAMURBL SLOAN:—Nyang, Diamond shaft and alo] Seranton Coal Company, Bellovue shaft and. slopes, Dodge, Hampton, Taylor and Continental, all at work. The other collieries start to-morrow.

R, BTORRS. ‘The coal was offered in the following lots:—Lump coal, 10,000 tons; steamboat, 12,000; grate, 13,000; egg, tle stove, 2,600; chestnut, 10,000. Total, DB. 60,000 THE BIDDING commenced on lump coal at $5, and proceeded very spiritedly until the fret lot was knocked down at $6 70, when it remained steady until a considerable quantity had been taken, and the price Ly EE purchasers smail quantities at inte!

Coal first sold at $6 52%, at which yee 1,000 tons were taken, but on the next lot it hich rate was and closing with the last 200 tons at $7 50. nut coal sold firat at $6 45, fell to $6 36, and again went up, going off in lots at $6 40, $6 45 and $6 60. The purchasers consisted Principally of whole- sale middle dealers, all of whom manifested is anxtety to purchase, shouting out their names be recorded with most vociferous eagerness. The quantity of each class of coal being limited the ex- citement occasionally became general, making the sale the most interesting one that has transpired. ‘The rise in prices over that of the last sale in May last 18 Bhown by the following statement of the average of this and the previous sale:— Tons.

They based their belief upon the fact that, notwithstanding the re- sumption of labor in the mines of the ton Company, the supply will be rendered inadequate by the recent suspension of operations in some of the Lehigh mines, and the apprehended difficulties tu. the Schuylkill region. How much these statements of the coal companies may be intended by them to influence the market towards keeping up the prices. Femains to be developed, put valuable inferences may be drawn from the present condition of AFFAIRS AT THE MINES and the prospects of further interruptions tn work. Lt will be remembered that in the HERALD's review of the coal situation on the 23a ult. it was shown that all of the Schuylkill district, and a@ portion of the Lenigh district, had resumed work, and that the Wyoming district was idie, with the exception of the Pennsylvania and Wiikesbarre companies, It Was also shown that of the 15,385,768 tons of coal re- quired by the usuai demands of the year only 7,509,731 tons had been produced on the 14th of August, with only about thirteen weeks from that date of the season to make up the deficit. Since that date seve- ral companies in the Lehigh district have suspended work in consequence of inability to maintain the prices of labor, which they had yielded to the men based on Klizabetbport and Hoboken prices for coal. The Wyoming district, which inciudes the great coal organizations known as the Pennsylvania, the Dela- ware and Hudson, Delaware, awanna and Weatern and the Wilkesbarre companies, may be in full operation by the close of this week; but the Pennsylvania company has been at work ail the time aud the Wilkesbarre men since the 18th of June, so that the resumption of work by the two other companies may be counterbalanced by the late suspension tn the Lehigh district and the appre- hended cessation of work throughout Schuyl- kill, The diticulty with the Schuyikill mines ia tbat the miners, after gbtaining their increase of wagea, based upon August prices at $4 75 per ton at Mauch Chunk, now reiuse to lower their wages in proportion to the recent fall in coal prices to $3 50; and the reault bas been that ou Sat- urday last the Schuylkill companies, at a meeting held tn this city, resolved to notify their men that unless they agreed to a reduction of wages propar- tionate to the decrease in prices the companies would stop their mines. Nothing has been réceived yet indicating a disposition on the part of the mniners to.allow their wages to be governed by de- crease as well as increase in coal prices, and the principal Schulkill companies are expecting to sus- pend operations in afew days. The question with the Lehigh men is very much the same in character, except that It applies to the choice between Mauch Chunk and Elizabethport as the point at which prices aball be taken as the basis of wages. The wyoming companies, acco ding to the pro; ue of the Pennsylvania Company, how accepted by the workingmen of the other mines, will pay an increase of forty-seven and one-lalf per cent over the wages of last May. The events of the last month demonstrate that while the miners insiat upon a increase of wages with every rise in the price of coal, they will not yield to a reduction when the coal fails, so that the companies are obliged to either suspend work and crush out the or combine themselves to maintain the present high prices in market, 1k is not rehended that a suapension of work by the Schuylkill companies, and a combination be- tween them and the Lehigh operators will produce any disturbances in the coal region like that which occurred @ few days since at Scranton. The minera seem to be peaceably disposed, and anould the contemplated cessation of work be ordered by the companies the only result will probably be a long and vexatious period of delay and suspense. Whether the opening of the Wyoming district will prevent prices from. og tye higher remains to be determined; but until the demands of the miners are modified no extensive reduction in prices seems to be attaimabie.

CuIcado, Iil., Sept. 1, 1860, The National Temperance Convention, which was called for the purpose of forming a temperance party for political purposes, assembled at Farwell Hall, in this city, at eleven o'clock to-day, At the opening of the proceedings about 300 persons were Present, probably 200 of whom were delegates. D. R, PERSHING, of {ndiana, Called the meeting to order. John Russell, of Michigan, was made tem- porary chairman, and J, A, Spencer, of Ohto, and J. G. Brayman, of Illinois, were elected temporary secretaries, Mr. GoopALL, of Connecticut, offered the resolu- tlon that all delegates ve considered as members of the Convention who practise aud advocate total abstinence from intoxicating drinks, and who are in fayor of a legal prohibition of the manufacture, importation or sale of the same. Ggreirr SmirH, of New York, opposed the idea that any one who should not favor the organization of @ third distinct political party be allowed to become a member of the Convention. Chaplain Loscrs, of indiana, was in favor of a third political party. If there wag to be a third party, tuen he and his party were with them; if not, bs age be counted out. . JBWETT, Of Tennessee, was op) to thas part of the call which edvised the dissolution of all politica: parties; he could not agree to it. Mr. RaTHOM, Of New Jersey, also opposed the idea ofanew party. If this was the idea tt would rule out two-thirds of all present. They wanted the sen- timent of the temperance men of tue country; if they desired a third party, it was all right. ‘There was a great diversity of Opinion on this Point, and the Convention then adjourned to attend the noon prayer meeting. Upon reassemb! in the afternoon the discussion Was resumed, Mr. thom contending that no temperance man should be-ex- cluded from the Convention. Whether we should go to the extreme length of forming a new party Would be decided hereafter. Mr. CusHING, Of Massachusetts, differed from-Mr. Rathom, and believed that the call was an invitation for a convention of men lavoring a distinct political arty. be Me, GooDALt found the call ambiguous, a part of it inviting all temperance men to attend, and an- other invited only those in favor of forming a dis- tinct party, bes ed on beg nen princi er was here for the purpose of organizing such party. Gennirr Saire said he wauted this Convention to feel itself shut up to the terms of the call. He denied that the terms of the call were ambiguous. They meant distinct action, the organiza- tion of an independent pvlitical party. Mr. BLACK denied t the terms of the call =. Les clear and explicit. They meant the forma- ion of a new party.

Itis the object of the officers to secure the best, and the trial was conse- quently & pretty thorough one The teat was between the Silby rotary, manofactured at Senaca Falls, New York, and the Amos- keag, manufactured in New Hampshire. Most of the officers in the yard were present to witness the test. The e took their water from the dock at the further end at the yard. The Amoskeag 1. up steam in four minutes and water in five; the tary in five minutes and forty seconds and water in six minutes and fifty seconds. The waver was thrown through 300 feet of hose, with a nozle of an inch and a quarter. Asthe day was windy it was impossible for them to throw perpendicular streams. The test was therefore confined to Morizontal streams, A board of engineers were present to measure distances, and they will pi & report. It was generaily conceded that the Amojikeag was the most powerful engine and threw the Vest stream. ; INJUNCTION AGAINST THE WATsR FioarpD Ra- FUSED.—Nathaniel Mills, @ property owner on Ful- ton avenue, made an application to Judyye Troy for an injunction to restrain the Board @¢ Water and Sewerage Commissioners from enteri ng into con- tract with Charles Guidett for the repairing of Ful- ton avenue, on the ground that he we.s not the low- est bidder. denled the ¢ pplication, on the ground that an action cannot be’ maintained by @ private individual against a mi pal corporation for an injury of a public nature, whe#, the damage be sustains is mo greater than is gained by every member of the community.
