Pat Dooley, of Richmond, the Cen- tral Figure of the House. LOGAN’S REVISED ARMY BILL, ‘WasHIncron, June 11, 1870. Red Cloud and Secretary Cox’s Final Coun- cil—The- Indians Depressed=Red Clond’s Last Speech—He Wants to Go Home, but ‘Not by Way of New York—He Also Wants Indian Delegates in Congress. Red Cloud and his party were again at the Indian Bureau this morning, it being the final interview between them and the government, Tney ap- pear to be much depressed, having reflectea over the proceedings of yesterday. ‘They re- Tuctantly came to the meeting this morning; the earnest persuasion of the interpreter, agent ana traders baving induced them to do so. ‘They stated that their refusal to attend might result to thelr injury, Last night Red Shirt was so much depressed that he wanted to commit suicide, saying that he might as well die here as elsewhere, as they had been swindled, Commissioner Parker opened the proceedings to- day by saying the Indians were asked to come up because it was thought they ought wo have some- thing to say before they went home. Secretary Cox said to them he was very sorry to find out that Red Cloud and his people have not un- derstood what was in the treaty of 1868; therefore he wanted him to come here so that all mistakes might be explained and be dismissed. It was im- portant to know exactly how matters stood. This government did not want to drive them. The Secretary then explained at some length the provisions in the treaty, the limits of the hunting grounds, the reservation, &c. He un- derstood that Red Cloud and his band were unwil- ling to go on the reservation, but wanted to live on the headwaters of the Big Cheyenne river, north- east of Fort Fetterman. This was outside of the permanent reservation, Dut inside of the part re- served for hunting ground. ‘ne Secretary was willing to say, if that would please them, he would make {tsoand have their business agents there. This would still keep the white people off the hunting ground. The government would give them cattle and food and clothing, so as to make them happy in their new home. The Secretary said he would write down the names of the ‘men in whom the Indians have confi- dence and want for their agent and traders. He de- sired to find out whether they were good men and could be trusted by the government. He was sorry the Indians felt bad on finding out what was in the treaty; but the best way was to tell it all, so there Might not be any misunderstanding. Red Cloud, having shaken hands with the Secre- tary and Commissioner Parker, seated himself on ‘the floor and said:— What I said to the Great Father, the President, ta now in my mind. \I have only u few words to add this morning. I have become tired of speaking. Yesterday, when I saw the treaty and all the false things in it, 1 was mad. baie T suppose it ou the samo. ‘The Secretary explained tt this niorn- now I am pleased. As'to the goods you talked t what is due and belongs to me. The red peopla with the bow and arrow and are all of one nation, but the whites, who are educated and civilized, swindled me, and I am not hard to swindle, because I do not know how 10 read and write. We nave thirty-two nations, and have a council house, the same as you have. We held a council be- fore we came' here, and the demand sI have made upon you from the chiefs I left bebind me aresall alike, You whites have a chief you go by, but all the chief I go by ts God Al- mighty. When He telis me anything that ls for the best I always go by His guidance. The whites think the Great has nothing to do with r fooling with us and taking ai ygperty they witi to suffer for it hereafter. ‘The Great SpWMit is now look- ing at us, and we now offer Him our prayers. When we had a talk at the mouth of Horse creek in 152. you made a chief of Conquering Bear and then destroyed him, and since then we have had no chief. Yon white people did the same to your great chief. You killed one of our great fathers, ‘The Great Spirit makes us suffer for our wrong doing. You promised us many things,jbut you never performed them. You take away everything. Even if you live forty or fifty years in this world and then die you cannot take all your goods with you. The Great Spirit will not make me suffer because I am ignorant. He will put me in a place where I will be better off than in this world. ‘The t:reat Spirit raised me naked and gave me no arms. © Look at me. ‘This is the way I was raised.

The Great Spirit has raised me on wild I know he has left enougn to support my children for a while, You have stolen Denver from me, You never gave me anything for it. Some of our people went there to engage in farming, and you sent your white children and scattered them all away. Now I have only two mounds left, and I want them for myself and people. There {s treasure in them. You bave stolen mounds containing gold. Ihave for many years lived with the men I want for my superintendent, agent and traders, and am well acquainted with them. I know. they aremen of justice; theydo what is mght. If you appoint them and any blame comes it will not_be on you, but on me. I would be willing to let you go upon our land when the time ‘comes, but that would not te until after the game Is gone, 1 do not'ask my Great Father to give me anything. I came will go uway naked. I want you to ted my Great no further business. I want you to put ne straight line. I want to stop in St. Louis to see Robert Campbell, an old friend.” ied Cloud then pointed toa lady in the room, saying, “Look at that woman; she was captured by Silver Horn’s party. I wish you to pay her what her captors owe her. Tam aman true to what | say, and want to keep my promise. The Indians robbed that lady there, and through your inluence X want her to be paid.” Secretary Cox replied to Red Cloud that the treaty showed how the land was to be paid for. They were to be given cattle, agricultural implements, sceds, houses, blacksmith shops, teachers, &c., and food and clothing. The Jand is good in two ways—one 1s to let the game grow ior the hunt, the other to plough it up and get corn and wheat and other ‘things out of it, and raised cattle on it. ‘The reason why #0 many white men live on their land, said he, fs that they treat it in this way. He would correct’ Red Cloud m4 remark ‘made by him. The whites do not.expeet to take their goods with them into the other world, We know ‘a8 well as the Indians do that we go out of the world as na ked as we came into it; but while here in the world we take leasure in building great houses and towns, and make good read to eat. We are trying to teach them to do the fame things, #0 they may be as well olf as we are. Here (pointing to Commissioner Parker) is the Commissioner of Indian Affairs, who ts a chief among us, He belonged to a race who lived here long before the white man came to thia country, He now haa power and white peovle obey him, and he directs what sball be done in very important business. ‘We will be brethren to you in the same way if you follow his good example und learn our civilization. Red Cloud responded—I don’t blame him tor being a chief, He ought to be one. We are all of one nation. Secretary Cox—Those Indians who become chiefs among us do 60 by learning the white man’s cuctoms and ceasing to be dependent as children. I was glad to hear Ked Clout say he would not go away angry.

The friends of General Babcock on the committee say that nothing has been discovered thus far to show that he has been guilty of any improper conduct. General Sackett to-day testified that he acted as interpreter for Bab: cock, and that if anything had been going on of an improper eharacter he would have Known it. Gen- eral Ingalls fvas examined as to whether he and Babcock had any interest direct or indirect in the Success of the treaty. He denied being an interested arty. sige’ The Army Bill, as agreed upon by the conference committee, passed the House to-day. In its present shape it 1s sald to be acceptable to nearly all concerned, except the higher grade of officers, who complain a litde about the pay section. Weekly Fivancial Statement.

Second Session. SENATE. WASHINGTON, June 11, 1870, On motion of Mr. SHERMAN, (rep.) of Ohio, leave was given to the Finance Commitiee to sit during the sessions of the Senate. PAYMENT OF INDIAN EXPENSES. Mr. MORRILL, (rep.) of Me., called up the joint re- solution to pay the expenses of the delegations of Indians now visiting Washington, appropriating $50,000 for presenta, &c, Passed, UNION PACIFIO RAILROAD. Mr. Pomeroy, (rep.) of Kan., called up the bill re- lating to the Central Branch Union Pacific Railroad making a land grant. Mr. SHERMAN opposed the Dill as extraordinary and a violation of that feature of land grant policy by which the government had always reserved to settlement alternate section of land. Tne bill was to carry out an arrangement between two roads, by which one should receive the odd and the other the even sections, If the bill passed there would not be left to the Onited States a single acre of land in @ belt of Lerritory ten miles wide, nearly three hundred miles long, while these roads were to be allowed to make up deficiencies of land grants from within a limit of twenty-five miles on either side, ‘The morning hour expiring the Frauking bill came up, but was laid aside informally to proceed with the pending bill—yeas 24, nays 21. Mr. YATEs, (rep.) of IiL, insisted that lands should not be voted away indiscrimmately without the usual equivaicnt to the government in re- serving alternate sections for the settlers, fle was opposed to the bill, as giving to a railroad the exclusive cholce of all lands within twenty-five miles of its road, compelling settlers to select from the remainder, He could not agee that Congress should become a mere plaything of East- -ern Capitalists, Mr. THAYER, (rep.) of Neb., considered the bill without a precedent to justify it in legislation. Messrs. HOWARD and HARLAN claimed that the bill was to settle an equitable claim against the gov- ernment by voting lands as a compromise for a sub- sidy in bonds, to which the company was entitted under previous legislation. Mr. THAYER said the proposition was to give the Brownsville and Fort ee, and Midiand Pacific road the odd section of land and the ventral Branch of the Union Pacific the even sec- tion, thus absorbing a solid belt of land fifty miles wide, being twenty-five miles on each side of the road and neariy 300 miles long. He protested against this absorption in the interest of the Central Branch, as the people of Nebraska did not want that road. He was iu favor of a home road. The bill would repeal the requirement in the charter of the Union Pacitic for the sale of the lands to homesteads. ‘The discussion of the bill occupied the entire ses- sion, the argument being mamly that the giving away of odd and even sections alike was violative of the implicd compact in land grants by the govern- ment to railroads, by which the toriner had the benefit of improvement of reserved alternate sec- tions, In answer to this it was argued that the bill Was necessary, as involving the faith of the govern- ment in former legislation, An amendment to confine the grant to odd sec- tions was rejecled—yeas 28, nays 24, The bill finally passed—yeas 32, nays 13, ‘the vote was as follows:— YEa8-—Messrs.

WASHINGTON, June 11, 1870, TAXES ON SPIRYTS. Mr. SCHUMAKER, (dem.) of N. Y., presented the petition of citizens of Brooklyn asking for the pas- sage of a law taxing distilled spirits at the distillery only on the basis of maximum capacity. QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE—ARREST RY THE SERGEANT- AT-ARMS, The Speaker laid betore the House a letter from the Sergeant-at-Arms, reporting that in accordance with the order of the House he had in hts custody : trick Woods, allas “Pat Dooley,’ of Richmond, a Mr. Dawes, (rep.) of Mass., desired to have some bills referred, Mr. Brooks, (dem.) of thing until this august ques posed of. On motion of Mr. ALLISON, (rep.) of Iowa, the Ser- pe Bag hg was ordered to produce the body of Woods, alias *Dooley,’’ at the bar of the House, In the meantime Mr. AXTELL, (dem.) of Cal, ris- Ing to a question ot privilege, sent to the Clerk’s desk and had read an editorial article from the San Joaquin Republican of the 31st of May, stating that the Northern Pacific Raiiroad franchise ts estimated at Washington to be worth now $15,000,000 cash; that “the holders have realized about fourteen mil- lions by the scheme, as it has not cost them over one million to engineer the eine through Congress,” and that “thus the servants of the people have traded away $15,000,000 of the nation’s property for one million, and put that in thelr pocKets—the shame- tess, brazen-faced thieves.” He satd that such articles should not be permitted to float around loose without some attention, If Congress traded away fifteen millions of the natton’s property for one million it proved its members clearly unfit for their business. Any man who could hot trade within fourteen hundred per cent of the value of anarticie should be expelled from Congress. A Congress that gave the lobby fourteen hundred er cent the advantage no louger deserved the con- idence of a free people. He suggested that a com- mittee of eleven be appointed from the Py rs? gallery, Whose members possess such great facilities , objected to every- on of privilege was dis- for obtain! information, to investigate these changes, and in the meantime that all members who v for the Northern Pacitic Railroad be strictly watched. The Sergeaut-at-Arms then appeared at the bar, having in custody Patrick Wood, allas Patrick Dooley, of Richmond, Va,, charged with paring on the of May made a murderous assault. at jon mond, Va., on Charles H. Porter, a member of Con- gress from the State of V! ia. The prisoner ja apparently an lrishmang of the Ly Syn about thirty-five years old, of middle stature, but squarely and strongly built, Mr. ALLISON, (rep.) of Iowa, offered a resolution that the matter of privilege be reierred to the Judl- clary Comimitiee for examination, and to report What action the House should take in the premises, with power to send for persons and papers; and that in the meantime the the bar be re- ran tained in the custody of the Se ant-at-Arms, Mr. RANDALL, ro) of Pa., demanded a division of the question, objecting to the retention of a citi- zen of the United States during the pleasure of the Judiciary Committee. ‘The first part of the resolution was agreed to with- out @ division, and the second part by yeas 119, nays 39, White the vote was being taken Mr. Roots, (rep) of Ark., called the attention of the ae to the fact that several gentlemen (Mr, Woodward and others) were holding conversation with the pris- oner, ‘The SPEAKER decided that that was out of order, ‘The prisoner was'then remitted to the custoay of pe Sergeapt-at-Arms, subject to the order of the louse, “ Mr. KERR, (dem.) of Ind., on the same subject, offered a resolution reciting that the prisoner was poor and unable to empioy counsel, and that he de- sired the aid of counsel in his behalf, and directing the Speaker to employ suitable counsel for the risoner, Pur. Dawes remarked that he had seen in the pers that the people of Richmond had raised a uurse for this man, and he asked Mr. Kerr whether had any information on the subject. Mr. KekR said he had no such information, out, on the contrary, understood that the man was very poor. He had just been informed that some smail sams Of money had been given to him by some friends on the street before leaving Richmond. Mr. MAYNARD, (rep.) of Tenn., understood that a writ of habeas corpus had been sued out in Rich- mond, but had been disregarded by the Sergeant-at- Arms, aud also that some gentlemen on the other side had been telegraphed to to defend him, On motion of Mr, INGERSOLL, (rep.) of LiL, the re- solution was referred to the Jadiciary Committee, LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BIBL, The House then resumed the considerauon of the Senate amendments to the Legislative, Executive and Judicial Appropriation bili, the pending ques- tion belng on the substituie reported by the Commit- tee on Appropriations for the Senate amendment putting the female employés in the departments on the same foolung as the men. Mr. RoGERs, (rep.) of Tenn., oppo: the amend. ment and suostitute, contending unit the employ- ment of women, in the first mstance, was & war measure, and should have ceased when the war did, and that their employment in public offices uusexed and demoralized them, and was calculated to reflect no credit on the government and no good wWtumately to themselves, and that it was wrong to give them $1,200 2 year for doing a littie copying in Washing- ton while the hard-working women of the city could not earn more than two or three dollars a week. Mr. ARNELL, (rep.) of Tenn., congratulated the House on the advance siep taken on the subject of woman's compensation, and argued that it would have the effect of increasing it in factiories and other employment all over the country, ‘The discussion,was carried on at some length, and was participated in by Messrs. Holman, Sargent, pone Willard, Maynard, Larnsworth, Hoar and aAwes. Mr. Dawes closed the discussion, He said that the adoption of the Senate amendment wonld ada to tine burdens of the people three hundred thousand dollars a year. Why should that be done? Was the female paid less in proportion to her labor by the overnment than she was anywhere else? Nowhere nu the country could sh@earn nine hundred dollars ayear. He had reason to know that the intelligent and thougiitful of the females in the Treasury Department were alarmed at this movemeni, He had communications from them in writing. It wasin his knowledge that they had been to the Capitol and had catied out members to implore them not to adopt the Senate amendment. They did ask that the avenues to those other offices might be open to them, so that if they were competent to fill $1,200, $1,400, $1,600, or $1,800 clerkships it would peege to uppoint them. ‘That was all they asked. Mr. FARNSWORTH, (rep.) of Ill, asked Mr. Dawes whether it had not been lawful for years and years to appoint women to first class clerkships. Mr. Dawes said that he supposed it was, but it had been decided at the otner end of the avenu¢that it was not. The question was first taken on an amendment offered by Mr. Hoar to add to the substitute the fol- lowing:— And thereafter the compensation of such officers, clerks, and employes who are females shall be the same as now fixed by law for males of the same class, Adopted—yeas 78, nays 75, ‘The substitate reported by the Committee on Ap- propriations as amended by Mr. Hoar’s proposition was then adopted without division, The section in relation to female employés in the departments now reads as follows: — ‘That hereafter, in appointment and employment of clerks, copyists and counters, or other employes in the several de- partments of the government, these shal be no discrimina- tion between males and females, and it shall be lawful to ap- point and employ any competent and worthy persons in such positions without regard to sex; but the number of clerks shall not be increased by this section ; and hereafter the eom Pensation of such clerks and employes who are females shail be the sane as now fixed by law for males of the same class, The next Senate amendment on which a separate vote was demanded Was that appropriating $500,000 for the commencement of a new buliding for the Siate Department on the site of the premises now occupied by the War and Navy Departments. ‘The athendment was rejected without discussion— Yeas 22, nays 127. ‘The next amendment on which a separate vote was asked was that in relation to the extension of the Capitol grounds, im whieh the Committee on Ap- propriations recommended non-concurrens The amendment was rejected—yeas 31, nays 122. ‘rhe next amendment on which a separate vote Was asked was that appropriatung $100,000 for an expedition tothe North Pole, Kejected without a division, The next amendment on which @ separate vote was asked was tliat increasing the salary of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the Untted States, to $10,000; of the Associate Judges to $8,000: of the Judges of the Vircatt Courts to $7,500; of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia to $5,500; of the District Judges, of the Judge of the Court of Claims and the Associate Juage of the Supreme Court of the District of Co- lumbta to $5,000. The Commiitee on Appropriations recommendeé non-concurren Mr. PorreR, (dem.) of N. Y., addressed the House in support of the amendment, urging that tne pre- sent salaries of Uuited States judges were shame- fully inadequate. Mr. Davis, or N. Y., gave his most hearty concurrence to the proposition to increase the sala- ries of the judges, ‘The discussion was continued by Messrs. Logan, Dickey and Benton, agaiusf the umendment, und by Messrs. Beck, O’Nell and Poland, tn favor of It. Mr. Dawes closed the debate against the amend. ment, but intimated that tu a committee of conte! ence he would vote to make the salary of the Chict Justice of the Supreme Vourt of the United States $8,000, and of the associate Justices $7,000; and he Inoved so to amend the Senate amendinent, and to strike out all the remaiming portion ot it. Mr. SARGENT, (dem.) of Cal., moved to amend the amendment offered by Mr. Davis so as to fix the salary of Circuit Judges at $6,500. Mr. Dawas withdrew his amendment altogether, and then the question recurred on concurring in the Senate amendment. The House refused to concur by 36 to 94, Mr. WILKINSON, (rep.) of Minn.,moved to reconsider the vote whereby the House agreed to Mr. Hoar’s amendment to the substitute, reported from the Committee on Appropriations, in reference wo the female employes in the departments, After discussion the vote was reconsidered, when Mr. Hoar’s amendment was rejected and the substi- tute reported by the Committee on Appropriations agreed to. Mr. WILSON, (rep.) of Ohio, called for a separate Vote on the various amendinents increasing appro- priations for the Department of Agriculvure, in Which the Committee on Appropriations recom- mended non-concurrence. Alter discussion the amendments were concurred in and the bili was referred to a@ committee of con- ference. ‘The SPEAKER subsequently announced the ap- pointment on the committee of Messrs, Dawes, Nibiack and Logan.

Three Excited Games Between Rudolphe and Joseph Dion—Dion Wins Two Out of Three— The Playing Annlyzed—Are These Games an Tudex to the Result of the Coming Champion Contest. A throng not inconsiderable in numbers, and but little after the style of perfect quality, gathered last evening at Ireland's, No, 60 Lispenard sireet, to wit- ness a friendly contest between Mr. Rudolphe and Mr, Joseph ion, both renowned as expert billiardisits—probably the finest living. The games were played upon the usual carom tables, with the standard balls and cushions, ‘Three contests took place, all of the French carom game, one hundred potits up. The playing was un- usually brilliant, and on both sides was character- ized by many exquisite shots, calling out the raptur- ous applause of the auditors. Mr. Rudolphe won the first game, in which he exhibited his marveltous powers in many fancy shots, beating his adversary, when Dion had made but twenty-nine points. Another trial ensued, and it was here the genuine capacities of the two contestants became apparent, ‘This second trial Was easily wou by bi fis execution was graceiul, easy and beautifally conceived, Dion seems to possess a self-contidence that even the most embittermg adversity cannot disarm. He is always the same—a cavi as an onent, a steadfast, determined and undaunted player when he sto win. He is a consummate artist, No player can excel the delicate touch with — whic! he handies his cue, it a musical motion, and = ihere is an admirable entire absence ,of effort aud careless man- ner patent in every shoi, This faculty, whi is nothing but a keen polish of nerve and a true ception of the player's function, is success itself, as was apparent last evening. To exhibit one’s prow- ess In the midst of excitement and uader the gaze of hundreds and sull atiain maximum perfection 1s a rare consummation. Such an opponent had the ex- ert Rudoiphe, Dion directed his bail with marvel. jous Jinesse, A peculiarfeature was his intuitive judgment. It seidom failed, In cushioning, in fine caroms, draws, nursing, the demonstrations of the lookers on attested his skill by continuous ap- piause. MR, RUDOLPHE, on the contrary, was nob treated to common cour- tesy. The popular voice was against him, and being @ hervous man it doubtless affected lis playing. Rudolphe sougiit too much for pre cue aud hand—too much mathematics. Accurac; valuable us it is—does not triumph unless by freedom of action, Measurement is part of Mr, Rudeiphe’s execution—that is, what he does with the balls is more external than spoutaneous, Sih he made the most diMmeult and — briliiant shots of the evening, and they were duly appre- elated. The second game, when Rudolphe was leading, suddenly turned in favor of Dion, when the latiel worked the balls on the right side eushic effeciuaily locked them near the jaws. He r this closed the game, while Radoiphe had At this point vion exhibited his cnaracterisite con- fidence, and stroke upon stroke fell with rapid cer- tainty. A third game desired by Rudo!phe, and finally, aller some reiuc was agreed to by Dion, This ended as nd did. tm this tr though Rudolahe was again leading, Dion, aund lou applause and by the most skilful and marvellousiy facile shots, nursed the balls again toward the sid hion and worked them in the jaws, When he ran the game out by making ol, The following are the scores:— FIRST GAME.

Dr. Cochrane Defending the Brooklyn Mer- chants—Who Rules the Roost #=Exciting Scenes Along the Wharves. Considerable excitement prevailed along the wharves last evening from an attempt on the part of some of the quarantine officers to seize some of the merchant vessels, the owners of which having, it appears, disregarded the rules established by the Quarantine Commissioners by taking their oraft above Atlantic dock, Brooklyn. Three vessels—a bark, a brig and a ship—after stopping at the Atlantic dock secured permits from Health Omm- cer Cochrane to pass on to their respective piers. ‘The bark was taken to the dock at the foot of Baitic street, the brig to Prentice’s dock and tie ship to the jovt of Union street. THE QUARANTINE BOAT APTER THEM. ‘The officers on board the Quarantine poat observing the proceedings, came over to the foot of Baltic street and attached hawsers to the brig for the pur- pose of towing her off. Dr. Cochrane Was then sent for, aud§proceeded at once to the dock, when he or- dered the men on board the bark to cut the hawsers and protect themselves, This order was obeyed, and the bark was again hauled back into her position at the wharf, This proceeding occasioned GREAT EXCITEMENT, large crowds of iaborers and longshoremen as- sembling upon the wharves and expressing their willingness to beat off the parties acting under direc: tion of the Quarantine ollicers, whom they looked upon as trespassers, Dr. Cochrane called upon Captain Smith, of the First. precinct, to detail two or three policemen to ald in protecting the vessels, but the captain re- fused to do s0, on the ground that he had not re- ceived any orders Irom Luspector Campbell. THE POLICE BOAT METROP ‘APPEARS, | The officers on board of the Fletcher sought the aid of the Metropolitan police, and the police boat Metropolitan steamed over to Brooklyn and landed a number of officers on the wharf, Who Were avout to muke another effort to seize the vessel, when Dr. Cochrane ordered them off, telling them tiey Were trespassers, and the formidab'e appear- ance of the large body of men who stood at the Doctor’s back Was enough to intimidate the men who had come from New York. Ia the meantime | the Fletcher nad proceeded to Prentice’s dock and MADE FAST TO THE BRIG. Mr. Prentice hastened to Dr. Cochrane and in- forined him of the tact, and when the Doctor reached the wharf the Fletcher was just about towing the brig out. Dr. Cochrane ordered the men to cut the hawsers and let the vessel go, The orders were im- mediately complied with. The Doctor then told the men on the vessel to cut away every line which the Fletcher attempted to attach to them. The Doctor’ says he is acting under the advice of the Board of Health of Brookiyn and of the Corporation in this matter. THE RIGHTS OF THE MERCHANTS. The Doctor says that if the Commissioners grant a permit to @ vessel to come up from Quarantine the owners have a right to take her to any dock along the river front. He did not think Dr. Carnochan had any hand in these proceedings; thought he was too much of elph sth es and that these outrages were perpetratéd by some of the understrappers. A FEMALE BOND THIEF, Yesterday detective Tilley, of Captain Kelso's command, arrested Margaret Smith, alias Roberts, an trish woman, aged thirty, on the charge of steat- ing $260 worth of bracelets and two $1,000 coal and mining bonds. She was taken to the Tomps, and from thence removed to the custody of Justice Frederick Gushon, of Port Richmond, Staten Islaud, [AL INTELLIGENCE. Prominent Arrivals in This City Yesterday.

NOTES, The great event of the week will, of course, be ne New York Yacht Club regatta on Tuesday next, A splendid display is anticipated. Matched so evenly as many of the competitors are, a close and brilliant contest 18 Inevitabie. No fewer than eighteen yachts have alroady entered the lists—eleven schooners and seven sloops—and nearly every one of them has figured prominently during past exhibitions, It would be invidious to make selections, vut it may confidently be asserted that no regatta held under the auspices of the club promised so well, The cheering prospects of the season have suggested many admirable improvements, and yachtmen gen- erally have been exceedingly active during the past month or two In their endeavors to render their cra{ts as swift as possible. Although the list of entries does not disclose the names of many new vessels, the Tidal Wave in fact being the only one, together with the Madeleine, which was formerly a sloop, and. which may be said to be completely new, there is, nevertheless, a iormidable array of ‘spiendi schooners, Whose hames are not unknown to fame. As previously stated, a Mlagboat will be anchored abreust{ol the club house, Staten Island, about three- quartors of 4 mule from the shore, west of which the second class sloops are to anchor In line, about forty yards apart, the urst class sloopsin line 200 yards north, and the schooners in Ine 200 yards north of the first class sioops, about filty yards apart, The course will be from the anchorage to the buoy of the southwest Spit, Limes. it to the west and south, and theuce to ihe lightship, rounding to the northward and eastward’ and retarn, pass- ing to the west of the flagboat off the club house both going and returning.
