ENGLAND. A “John Ball? Denunciation of American Speculation and Official Dishonesty—“Mob Rule” in New York. {From the London Times, May 19.} The contest in which the English shareholders of the Erie Railway are now engaged with the Ameryt- can directors 13 of paramount importance for ca} talists in both naiions. The reg question to be decided ts whether the Owners Of railway property in the United States are to have any voice in its management or are to be left absolutely at the mercy of a few swindlers purporting to represent them, but really self-elected and despotic. It is needless here to recapitulate the earlier history of the coinpany, which boasts an infamous eminence, if tt dves not stand alone, among recent com- mercial scandals in the United States. For our present purpose we need only remind our readers of proceedings reported from time to time in our own columns within the last few montns. At the begiuning of this year things had come to such a poxs that & committee was formed to protect the interests of our countrymen, who, tt appears, hold BO ess than $50,000,000 out of the $70,000,000 of Erie Railway sock. The first step of the “Erie Share- hoiders’ Protection Committee’’ was to send out sr. Burt, partner in a well known firm of solicitors, with instructions “to enforce the legal rights of the shareholders in the federal courts of the United Sates.” In the meantime the precaution had been taken of inviting Boaey shareholders to have their cerlificates stamped by the committee, and no deal- ings in unsiamped Erie shares were permitted on tie London Stock Exchange. The object of this measure was to prevent the {issue and sale of new shares pending the contemplated litigation. Mr. Burt accordingly proceeded to New York, where, how- eyer, he found the enemy fuily ptepared to meet him. Indeed, no sooner did Messis, Gould and Fisk, the Erie Railway kings, hear of the course taken on the London Stock Exchange than they made reprisais by refusing to register any transier of stam| Erie shares at all. The knowing ones at New York nad always predicted that no redress could be obtained against “Brie” trom the State courts or Legislature, aud the recent letter of our Philadelphia correspon- dent shows that he vet shares w faith in the power of corruption. Jt does not cleasly appear what Jegisiative relief was claimed by Mr. Burt on behalf of the English shareholders. “We presume, however, it Wag in the nature of a declaratory act, conferring on them @ right of votng at the meetings Jrom which, on a technical ground, tuey have actu- aily been hitherto excluded. This granted, ewe des course be possibie fer them by degrees tore: ie direction and to contro! the administration of their own aifuirs, Uiough not, we fear, to recover the mil- lions already squandered or pocketed in their name. But the New York Legislature, not content with re- fusing thetr application, has, according to our cor- respondent, “passed two acts for the exprgss pur- pose of aiding the Erie ring.” The one Makes it criminal ‘or any lawyer to use against a former client apy knowiedge which he may have acquired in his professional character; the other multiplies the condi- tions necessary for obtaining an injunction against acorporation, The alleged aim of the former is to deprive Mr. Burt of assistance from a parucular firm, which had once been retained by the notorious jould and Fisk; while that of the latter is to bring e Erie case within the cognizance of judges ‘‘be- forehand pleiged to support the swiudlers.” Neither is palpably unjust on the face of tt, and had they both n passed by any other State Legislature in the Union they might have excited no suspicion. ‘The construction put upon them by our correspond- ent, uncharitable as it scems, derives its proba- ay from the known character of New York legis- jation. * * * We venture to go considerably further and to antictpate that honest men in the United States will before long rise up against the colossal bbery and corruption of which New York 13 the otbed, but which ts rampantly prevalent at Wash- dngton, and is the shame of American democracy. Ir {s vain to pretend that Earope is in any way re- gponsibie for such iniquities as are perpetrated in open day by American millionnaires and such in- frigues as are carried on daily in the lob- Dies of the Capitol. Tne city of New York, it may de, is “ihe sink” of the Old World, and the abuses g its municipal government, as well as its Pango jon to mob rule, may be partially Mig pe by the mixed nature of its population. But the Legislature and Supreme Court of New York are not institutions Of the city; they are instituttons of the State, which, Qs wo are ofien told, possesses and exercises the | Seah of outvollng the city, Moreover the city of low York is so immensely ee an element in merican society and politics that its degrada ion cannot but affect and compromise the Whoie nation.

The Emigration to America and Character of the Ewigrants. According to the Magdebdurger Zeitung the Ger- man emigrants this year are distinguished from those of former years by the fact that fve-sixth of those who have resolved to seck a new home in America are persons in the possession of capital. Besides this, they are mostly people of some know- ledge. Formerly the peasants and day laborers of Pomerania, West Prussia and Posen formed the principal part of the ewigration. They were, there- fore, people almost utterly unacquainted with the state of matters in the Union, who went there and were exposed to numerous dangers before they could settle. This year tt is more partioularly the more intelligent laborer and merchant who seems desirous of trying his fortune. . AUSTRIA. A Money Panic—A Dishonest Telegraph Clerk Caught. A Vienna letter of May 18 reports the following useful pjgce of news:— Thave been informed of a curious fact. On Wed- nesday, the 11th, a rumor was current in this city that the Emperor of the French had been killed and that a revolution had broken ti Parts. The Bourae immediately fell heavily. 1 © explanation of this false rumor 18 a8 follows:—Th. director of the telegraphs in the Austrian capital suspected one of his Siorks of selling intelligence to speculators. He concocted @ message to the above effect and made it ass through the hands of the individual in question. The latter hastened to communicate {t to his accom- plices who at once went and sold in the money marke A panic ensued, and the news could only be dente somewhat later. The culprit was in that way dis- covered and is now in custody. TURKEY. British Negotiations on the Greek Question= Imperial Compliments to the Prese=The “Tribates” of Office, Constantinople letters and journals to the 1kth of May have reached us. The Levant Herald, tn an- nouncing the arrival of Sir Henry Elitot, already mentioned by telegram in Constantinople, says:— The Honorable Ambassador and Lady Elliot reached this city 1n the Psyche from England, after touching en route at_the Pireus. On tie afternoon of the same day his Excellency visited the Porte and had a long interview with A’ali Pacha. We have reason to know that the visit of Sir Henry to Athens had no political object whatever, but was of a pelt private character, During his brief is Excollency, we believe, saw both the King and M. Zaimts, and was visited by the leaders of the opposition, to the whole of whom it may be assumed he gave some sound advice under the circumstances; but “mission,” such as the tcle- ph and the papers have reported—he had none. @ rumor circulated by a local print that the fleet had been ordered to proceed from Malta to the Pirwus ts also without foundation, ‘The following are news items of general informa- on — The editor of the Terakt, a Turkish print, has re- ceived from the Sultan a present of £600 and the Kk OF Lieutenant Colonel for an eulogistic article oh his Majesty’s late speech to the Council of State. After this who will say that the press in Turkey 1s not “encouraged ?” At the same time, however, an anti-Hassounite i) the Oraktr, has been suspended for an uncomplimentary article on the Armenian for a mont Pope. Soionel t4 imitraki Soutzo, brother of the Greek ex- Minister of War, and himself commander of the gar- rison at Athens, accompanied by his wife and daugh- ter, arrived in Constantingple ‘on a three months’ leave of absence from the Pirwus en rote for Galatz. ince his arrival he has had several interviews with | M. Rangabé, the Hellenic Minister. It may be assumed that the quarrel between she Khediye and Mustapha Fazyi Pacha has been made up. His Highness has made, and the Prince has accepted, a concillatory offering of £30,000, under color of contributing to the cost of rebuilding the Pasha’s yalt at Kandiil. Coming, as it does, immediately after the Prince’s appointment to the presidency of the Supreme Court of Justice (before which the large claim of Halim Pacha against the Viceroy is pending) the Prince’s acceptance of this gift is to be regretted. A letter from Yanina (Albania) reports a prompt and sticcessful piece of action on the part of the authorities: against a band of brigands in the ngigh- borhoo, The robbers consisted of twenty-seven recent Gispapnes Bashi-bazouks, who had taken to the road ahd were levying black mall from tne ts.

AN ACCOMPLISHED DZAD BAT. An Undertaker Swindled Out of Funeral Ex- penses. Patrick Smith, a man whose name has several times appeared in the criminal calendar of the Yorkville Police Court, was broaght up there yeater- day on two charges, one for swindilng and the other for peityglarceny, Josephine Williams, of No. 936 Kighth avenue, owner of a jewelry store, testified that the prisoner on the 26th, of April last received from her a wedding ring for a young lady to whom he was golug to get married aud Who Was just then sittmg in a carriage in front of the door, This carriage and the horse attached to it were stolen property for which the fellow was arrested, but got off on some pretext. Smith did not pay Mrs. Williams for the ring, nor did he get married to his aflanced, for another Woman, who had some claim upon him, had hum arrested for assaut and battery and abandonment. He represented (o Mrs. Whillams that he was worth a large amount money and owaed four brown sione houses in Fourth avenue. She soon found out, however, that he was but a penniless vagabond, with the outward appearance and manners of agentleman. On the lath of May last he again visited Mrs. Wiiliams’ store, and ran amy, in her absence, with a gold breastpin. ter this she did not see nim again until yesterday, when she had hin arrested, He was commitied without bail by Justice Bixby for trial. To-day there are to ap- pear two or three nore complainants who bave been swindled in one way or anotier out of money by him. One of those is an undertaker whom he beat out of ue funeral expenses of a deceased friend. Another isa tailor, and the third is @ poor. washer- woman whom he “beat” out of four dollars for wash- ing. Even these are not ail lis transactions, for some more are expncied to follow the publication of the foregoing in the HERALD, CHE GROWTH AND SUPPRESSION OF CRIME. The Press as a Conservator and Worker for. the Public Good. To THR Ep1TOR OF THE HERALD:— Crime is rapidly on the increase, aud now that the pulpit 1s. comparatively silent in regart to some of the most prominent causes that induce it, there ap- pears to be left but one sufliclent tnstrumen-.} tality to meet the contingency.. I. allude to that portion of the press that, in the main, are faithful m the protection of public morals. I could demonstrate beyond controversy how two daily newspapers of the city might be made eficient in our immediate vicinity in the detection. of criminals and the suppression of crime aided by the police authorities, the results of which would speed - ily tell ina complete revolution of desperadoism. But that is not the immediate object of this commu - nication. While the press might be made the source of such great good, yet it innocently opens up chan- nels for the commission of crime by the illy ais- ‘and it is to this fact in one particular and the romedy that I wish to call the attention of the well disposed portion of the community through the columns of the most widely circulated journal in the world. I have said that the press is made the innocent instru- mentality, and so it 1s that thousands of poor females of unsullied character, whose necessities compel them to labor, seek employment as housekeepers or in other ponoas of industry by publication, aud are thus thrown open to the vile communications and personal insults of the vicious. I could name many such cases that have been reported to me, when violence has been used by these hell hounds to effect their nefarious purpose. Now what should be donc to stop tls growing wickeduess is that an associa- tion of ladies, who imay feel interested in protecting this unfortunate class of their sex, shoud pe formed to whom should be reported the name if possible, or aas and full personal description of such vagabonds and. the particniars attending their insults; and when fully identified let their names and the circumstances attending the abuse be registered, and if married sent to their wives; or, at least, let themselves, mar- ried or smngle, be placed in possession of the facts of their own infamy and warned of the consequences of any future misconduct of like character. Such an association, with such objects, would act power- fully in restraining those whose self-reliance and un- known assaults upon the stranger and ‘mnprocaaced now make them regardless. » MF. BARLEM RIVER AND PORTCHESTER RAIL- ROAD. Meeting in Favor of the Project=Suburban Residents Clamoring for More Speedy Communication with New York. A meeting composed of influential real estate owners of the town of Westchester, West- chester county, was held in the Town Hall of the former place on Monday evening, for the purpose of corsidering what measures were requi- site to secure the eariy construction of the proposed Harlem River and Portchester Ratroad. Among those present were William D. Bishop, President of the New York and New Haven Railroad, and many of the directors of the projected road. After the meeting nad been organized by the choice of William Watson, president, and the ap; intment of Claiborne Ferris, secretary, Mr, BISHOP fp'a somewhat as et address, set forth the etfect of opening a railroad in enhancing the valne of land through which it might pass, as well as the inevitable appreciation which would follow regarding property, contiguous = t0 the pro, road. He contended that the popu. lation of Westchester and adjoining towns 10 sparse at tha present time to warrant the compan: ins ing ¢: Wagant pfices for land, and in addi- uoh ¢o} ict & first class road: but that if those ‘whose lands would be in: lin value by the road would tender or provide the right of way, the company would immediately go to work and give them a first class railroad. Without some induce- ment on the part of the property owners along the Tine of the proposed Toad, he could not hold out mucn encouragenient to the residents of that Jocaltt; si to the time when the project would be oul “O. A. Roose of Pelham, stated that the pro- perty J owners of his town were prepared to tender the right of way.

THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT RACE Speetal Report of the Third Race Between the Sappho and the Cambria. im of the Vessels, the Start, Navi- gation and Contest, The Time, the Victory and Award of the Prizes. By the British mall at this port yesterday we have the following special report of the third race of the international series between the yachie Sappho and Cambria, The narrative spirited, enitvening and accurate, as have been our special acoounts of the two preceding “events.’" Third Race Betweon the Sapphe' awd Cam. bria. Lonpon, May 12, 1870, The fnal heat in the series of matches between the Sappho and Cambria was satled on Tuesday, the 17th, and for the third time the American: schooner proved victorious. After the flae performance of the Sappho on the occasion of the first match, and again in her ‘walk over’? to Cherbourg and back on the subsequent Saturday, her triumph in the trian- gular races seemed to be regarded by the great: bulk of British yachtmen as a foregone conclusion, though notafew still clung to the hope thatthe Cambria mignt yet redeem her lost laurels 1© some extent by showing the way to the “flying Yankee” in the beat to windward to the first angle of ther tri- ang'e. Their anticipation, it will be seen, was not (les- tined to be fulfiile!, butit must be confessed thapthe result of the triangular race proved the Cambria: to be afar more Weatherly vessel than she had shown herseif in her first encounter with the Sappho, and we understand that Mr. Ashbury on ine conclusion of the match expressed himself highly satisfied with her last performance. DUR MUSTER AND START, The start was appointe! for seven A. M., and shoruy after five the two yachts were taken in tow of the Vectis and Gem for tie Nab Lightship, which, fow the third time, was selected as the place of ren- dezyons. They arrived at the scene of action about twenty minutes to elght A. M., and twenty minutes later the preparatory gun was fired and the course giver to the yachts—first, west-southwest; second, south: cast one-half east; third, north three-quarters east. The wind during the early morning was southwest by west one-half west, but at the time of the start 16 came there wes!-°o ith west—a light whole sail breeze; 80 that the course of the competitors in the beat to windward and along the first side of the triangle wou'ld le almost parallel with the eastern coast of the Isle of Wight to a point about eight miles soutir of St. Catharines, The starting signal was given at a quarter-past eight A. M., and both were off on the s'arboard tack, the Cambria on the Sappho's’ weather beam--scarcely two bowsprit lengths apart. THE COURSE. The bearings at the start were—Nab Light north one-half west; Culvers west one-half north. The English schooner set plain lower canvas and square- headed fore and main topsails, while the American. carried mainsail and foresail, Inner and outer jibs, and staysail, and fore and main jib-headers. Aboot twenty minutes before the start the latter had sent up an enormous balloon topsali, but her captain evi. dently thought better of it, as in less than five mio- utes it was sent down, and a working jib-headed maintopsall sunstituted. As they stood off on the starboard tack the Sappho began gradually to draw oat from under her opponent’s lee, and the latter, seemingly not liking the look of matters, went abont 1m Trot haste on the opposite tack, and made a board for Bembridge ledges. HOW THE SAPPHO WAS HANDLED, The American following it almost immediately afterwards. When they aga n went about under the land the Sappho had weatherea her opponens and was leading by a cable's length. Between Bem- bridge and the Culvers both made tack for tack until they were fall | agent the head land—short boards being the Cambria’s game; but, for all this, the Sappho held her own, and in the long leg they were compelled to make from the Culvers. across Sandown Bay she improved her position 1n a most marked manner, being nearly a mile ahead, when she went about under the cliffs west of Sandown. ’ Hexe, keeping close to shore, the Cambria made a succession of short boards along the side of the shoal off Shanklin, “cheating the tide;”" but the American, Sonera not fancying these tricks, for some time continued to stand out further seaward— though ultimately the lee tide competled her to go about and join her opponent under the shore. THE CAMBRIA, In the meantime, however, the Cambria had gradually made up her leeway, and off Bonchuroh, at ten minutes to eleven, the two vessels were close together, the Sappho on the port and her opponent on the starboard tack. At this juncture the English, schooner displayed the only bit of smartness she ex- hibited thronghout the race. As the two yachts met on opposite tacks the Camoria shot across the Sap- pho’s bows, and, jamming her helm hard down, went about on the starboard tack, eesti on her opponent’s weather bow, the two heading in for shore, searcely fifty yards apart. The mancenvre was beautifully executed, and Mr. Douglas’ schooner was for once fairly caught napping. Hav- ing now got her opponent well to leeward the €am- bria resumed her old short-board tactics, which epa- bled her to improve her position gradually on, the Sappho’s weather, as the latter had no alternative but to follow ana bide her time. At this stage of the race the weather, which had been threatening during the whole morning, came in so intensely hazy that it was impossible to make out the position of the two yachts with any certainty, but when they were siguted ether while on opposite tacks the Cambria still held the weather gauge. AN ESCAPE. Between Bonchurch and Ventnor, however, she had a narrow escape of coming to sudden grief, as, in her anxiety to stick to the land, which was visibio only here and there at intervals in dim outline through the mist, she twice perceptibly ‘smelt’? the rocks, the after part of her keel actually groundin; and hanging for a second or two. it was a critic: moment; but fortunately the way she had on was sumMicient to carry her over the danger, and she es- caped without suffering material injury, though it was @ Very harrow shave. TACKING. Between Ventnor and St. Catharines the English schooner tacked fourteen times in succession on the Sappho’s weather, but after a last tack the former was fain to abandon her favorite short-board tactics and make @ a Teach to the south- west in order to fetch the Veetis, which, by thts time had taken up her allotted position at the end of the twenty mile heat to windward and an- chored in forty-five fathoms of water. 4 BEARINGS. ‘The bearings at the turning point were St. Catha- rines Light. north-northoast, about seven miles and a half distant; Needles north by west half west, ana the Foreland just open through Dunsmore northeast by east. When well cleared of the island the yachts found bright weather, the fog lifting every moment; but as they made a long siretch on the starboard tack the superior power or the American began to tell the inevitable tale, and she rapidly forereacned and weathered on the Comnvsite te wind having by this time freshened into a spanking breeze. ‘At twelve minutes past one the Sappho wentabout on the starboard tack to fetch the markboat, and as she stood head on for the steamer, tearing through the water in splendid style and standing to her can- ‘vas upright as a house, the spectacle she copes 0 those on board was truly magnificent. hile in the act of rounding she seemed literally to burst, so to speak, into a clond of “musiin’’—ner enormous balloon jib, jib topsail and main top- mast etaysail being run up and sheeted home with meconceivable rapidity, and by the time she was fairly about on the starboard tack for the eastward every stitch of canvas was drawing. ‘The Cambria was not nearly so amart with her running canvas as her opponent; indeed, by the time she had set her balloon jib and et , main. topmast staysail and large square-h¢ gamftopsails the Sappho was fully a mites ahead. 7 ‘The yachts wore timed around the steamboat as Meret HM 8 ° HM. & Sappho. ...... 1 15 60 Cambria,..... 1 19 30 VICTORY. From this point it merely became a question of by how much the Sappho would win, since, barring accidents, her ultimat victory was a fot ne conclusion. In fact, the Oambria’s sole hope of escaping defeat lay in the wind dropping into a dead calm, of which at this time there ‘appeared to be every pro: the breeze falling every moment lighter and lighter the farther she progressed to the eastward.
