Goneral Order of the Navy Department— Speculations Concerning the Admiral’s Suc- cessor—The Expenses of the Faneral of the Old Here ot the Sea. WASHINGTON, August 14, 1870, A general order of the Navy Department just issued provides that on the day of the funeral of the late Aamiral Farragut the national flag shall be dis- Played at all the navy yards and stations ana on board of all ships of the United States now in com- Mission. Seventeen minute guns will be fired at noon from each navy yard. The commandant of the Navy Yard at Portsmouth will furnish a proper funeral escort and will pay the honors due to the deceased. All officers of the navy and marine corps Will wear crape on their left arm for a period of thirty days. There is some speculation as to who will succeed Admiral Farragut as admiral. The act of 1866 estab- Ushing the number tn each grade of line officers on the active list of the navy, says the increase in the respective grades shall be made by the selection from the grade next below of officers who have rendered the most efficient service during war, and Who possess the nighest professional qualifications and attainments. The only officer in the grade be- low admiral is Vice Admiral Porter. ‘The deatn of Admiral Farragut has raised another point Of some interest besides the succeasorship, and that 18, whether the old hero of the sea can be buried at the expense of the government, as one of his rank and distinguished services should. In the act of July 18, 1870, making appropriations for the nayal service, there occars the following section:— SEOTION 17. And be it further enacted, that expenses {n- Heer of the navy for medicines and medical not be allowed, unless they were incurred when he was on duty and tho medicines could not have been obtained from naval supplies or the attend- ance of s naval officer could not have been had; nor shall of @ naval any funeral expenses ‘United Staten oF expenses for travel to attend the funeral of an olicer who died there be allowed ; but when an odicer gn duty gies in & foreign country the ex: penges of his funeral, not éxceediag bis sea pay for one month, shal! be defrayed by the government and paid by the bli we upon whose books the name of such oillcer was rue for pay. Under this sectton it seems clear that _no expense can be incurred lawfully by the government for the funeral services of the lamented Farragut, and, therefore, itis likely that the ceremonies attending his burial wull not ‘be of that imposing character which his services merit, There is a very general feeling of regret here on account of this curious legislative veto, which during the dreadful fit of economy last session, found its way into the Appro- priation bill, The Feeling in This City. Profound sorrow was shown throughout this clty yesterday upon the reception of the intelligence of the death’of Admtra. Farragut. Tho quiet and unos- tentatious demeanor of the deceased gentleman, and the brilliant and lasting recora of the seaman and officer, were themes of universal praise. Reading of his achievements tn the prolonged obituaries of the morning press recalled his unfaltering heroism and his successful and skilful bravery, Of New Orleans, Mobile and the historic exploits of the Gulf men re- counted and eulogized, while they remembered that Admiral Farragut never sought any glory and was proud only of accomplished facts. Among naval circles and with those assoctates and men wlio were subordinates of the Admiral during his long career in the service, the sorrow was keen and unaffected. Flags were displayed at half-mast througnout the city and at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. ‘The shipping in the harbor, the public buildings, and at various private mansious the emblems of regret could pe observed telling of the sad death of the veteran hero, Though the city was excited over the war news trom Europe many there were who turned to the ec memory of a man who, upon many occasions, theilled the Union with victory, and was received abroad by the homage of powerlul potentates.

Boora’s THRATRE—“‘Rie VAN WINELE.”—Last night was the opening one at this theatre for the fall and winter seasons, The attracuon was “Rip Van Winkle,” with Mr. Joseph Jefferson as the hero ofthe play. A full house welcomed the celebrated comedian to the ecene of nis former tri- umphs, and well did he deserve the welcome he received, and the hearty plaudits which rewarded his efforts were as genuine as they were do- served. The Rip Van Winkle of Mr. Jefferson 1s, as 1s well known, not the character as drawn by tne genial and warm-hearted Irving, but a creation of the dramatist, Boucicault, and as such we are favored with a portraiture as distinct in its delinea- tion from the original of the novelist of Sunnyside 48 It 18 possinle for two Charaoters tobe. Save in name they are altogether different. ‘lo any person acquainted with the works of the two writers whose names are now so inseparably connected wita the jolly Dutchman of the village of Falling Waters the difference 1s observable. But then Boucicault 18 80 Original it is impossibie to imagine that he could, even it he desired, make use of the labors of another, However, Mr. Jefferson's Rip—that is, the Boucicault version, 1s as fine a piece of acting as our stage can boast of. Touched here and there with those delicate little tints, the actor carries with lim from the rise to the fail of the curtain the feelings of the audience. In the last act bi doesn in the interview with bis daughter Meenie, nis acting was really fine, fall of pathos and true to nature. And while bestowing that praise on Mr. Jefferson whicu his acting 80 well nerits, We Must not lose sight of the admirable manner in which he is supported by the company with which he ts surrounded. Miss Mary Wells, as Gretchen, gave an excellent rendering of the part, aud the two children 1a the first act, Meenie Van Winkle and Hendrick Vedder, played by Clara McCormack and Master Harry Jackson, never found better exponents, Miss Bella Pateman also acquitted herself tn a manner of which she may feel sony proud. Though a first night everything worked to a charm; but if we might make a suggestion it would be that the stage mana- ger would see to it that, notwithstanding how striking may be the effect of having the ghouls, who assembie in the Katskuls with the spirit of Hendrik Hudson, appear with darkened faces while their hands p>ssessed the natural hue of living men, it Would be well, if only tor the sake of consistency, to have both hands and faces the same color. Every Uttie counts, Mr. Waller, in a@ good make-up. Nipio’s GarpEN—“Tus = DoKe’s Mortro.”— The opening night at this popular establishment was highly encouraging to the managers, Messrs. Jarrett & Palmer, as there was an immense audience, and good-natured withal. The house looked fresh and handsome in 1ts new dress and lighted up splendidiy. There was a quiet artistic tone mm the coloring which, with being lightsome, was not ob- trustve. Mr. Lawrence Barrett was the star on the occasion, his first appearance in six years in this city. Since he played with Edwin sooth at the Win- ter Garden in 1864 he has travelled through the States and paid a short visit to England. The rode he selected for his reappearance in the metrop- olls Was @ siugularly ualoctunate one, associated as it must necds be with the names of Wheatiey and Fechter by the habditues of Niplo’s, Mr. Barrett has a clear, pleasant voice, good, manly app joe and thorough ease and command on the stage; but, a6 in this case it ts Impossible to avoid comparisons, we must say that he falls far short of his two prede- cessors. There was none of the gallant, chivalrous bearing of Wheatley or the impetuous earnestness of Fechter in a single seene of is char- acterivation. He gave a quiet, and, th ineffective, rendition of a part the very essence of which is fire and e/an. In the last two acts, how- ever, Le warmed up consiaerably and displayed much of the talent which has made him so popular io other clites, 1t is perhaps patural for such an actor, after a long absence from the scene of his earlier triumphs, to be loath to “ict himself ouv”’ on his first appearance, and Mr. Barrett in subsequent rformances may Bee's not so mild-mannered @ agadere as last night, The “Irish Soidter of For- tune,” Oarricktergus, had a clever, unctuous repre- sentative in Mr. W. R. Floyd, although we mtased in it the ponieeiag ig 8 of Collins, the original In this country. Mr. F.C. Bangs, a deservedly popuiar and Telling actor, made the part of the wily and dangerous Gonzagues a prominent feature ‘in the play. Madame Ponist piayed her old character, the Duchess de Nevers, and played it weil. She is a welcoine addition to any company. Miss Louisa Moore invested Blanche with atl the grace, ladylike demeanor and sympatietic tenderness characteristic other, Miss Emma Cline, who appeared as Z:liah, sang a florid song tn @ trained but rather uneven voice, and made a boisterous and jolly zingara. The plece was mounted in the most liberal manner both tn sceaery and accessories, It will be given every olght until its successor, in which Mr, Barrett will appear, ts ready for representation, Woop’s MuseuM.—This popular place of amuse- ment appears to constantly grow stronger in the affections of an appreciative public. In addition to the usual attractions of tie menagerie, the Bohe- mian gluss blowers, the automaton acrobat and the miscellany of the *‘rare and strange” objects now on exhibition, there are every day matinee and even- ing performances of a thrilling, sensation drama, entitled “The Ace of Spades,” in which the author, Mr. Albert Aiken, sustains the part of the principal hero. The scene is laid in New York, and presents a@ very fair picture of our kaleidoscopic American society. A wealthy Fifth avenue imillionuaire, a representative news- boy, & precocious Villain named “nglish Bill” and @ funny villain rejoicing in the sobriquet of ‘Ourly Rocks,” together witn several other common types of everyday Gotham life, figure on tho stage in striking but not vnnatural posi- tions. The piece 1s filled with “hits,’’ which, even though sometimes just a shade hackneyed and trite, simply attain the end aimed at and bring down the house. the galleries especially, In thander- ous applause. Some portions of the dialogue, how- ever, are far above the usual standard of dramatic work at the minor theaires, and would bear trans- ferral to a more critical arena. Miss Theresa Wood acts the part of Essie Troy, the friendtess and il-used = girl, with it spirit and ani. mation. Mr. Barnes, wo, as Shorty, the Newsboy, displays considerable taient as a iow comedian. And Mr. James Whitehead, tho “Dead Life,” although he has certainly to sustain the most arduous and diMficult part in the piece, and one wiilch it is by no means easy to render etfective with simply natural acting, never strays into affec- tation or mere stilted ranting, but gives full force to his part by plain, earnest acting, of uo mean order of excellence.

Cruise of the New York Yacht Club. Race to Windward and Back at Newport. The Run from New London to Newport by the Cambria, Phantom, Magic and Dauntless, The Contest To-Day for Mr. Ash- bury’s Cup. The Fleet at Anchor in Newport—Hop at the Ocean House—Controversy ou the “Flying Start”—Arraugements for the Coming Cone test—The Programme, Newport, August 14, 1870, The fleet of the New York Yacht Club {a now an- chored in the harbor here. It 1s the object of gen- eral admiration, for never on any former occasion id the vessels look to such advantage, never so trim and elegant. The friendly rivairy of yacut owners during the past few months has been at- tended with the most desirable results, and itis the upiversal expression of opinion that the fleet, as it now stands, is unsurpassed in style and swiftness, ‘The pride which yachtmen take in their cratt is not only excusable, but pratseworthy, for it is clear that neglect or indiiference in regard to the “fixing” of a Yacht must necessarily ve followed by incapacity and @ failure to accomplish the objects 60 much desired in yachting. And it is only those who have pald the Closest attention that have been rewarded for their commendable labors. There are bere over thirty firstclass schooners and nearly as many sloops, a few of whicn belong to the Atlantic Yacht lub, which has been invited to join in the annual cruise, During the entire day the wharves were lined with spectators, Who earnestly scrutinized the diferent vessels, some of which, being new, were minutely examined. Nearly ail the small boats tn the harbor were charterea by visitors, who sailed round and round the yachts, and accordingly made their com- ments, The absence of the Cambria and Dauntless was much regretted, and their arrival was anxiously anticipated. The day passed very quietly, as the fleet is without defaite orders until the arrival of Commodore Stebbins, whose yacht, the Phantom, ‘Was getting overhauled tn New London. Among the numerous crait now at anchor are the Madgie, 132 tons, R. ¥. Loper, acting Commodore New York Yacht Club; Tidal Wave, 153 tons, William Voornts, Commodore Atlantic Yacht Club; Madeleine, 148 tons. Jacob Voorhts, Jr.; Rambler, 143 tons, James i. Banker; Idler, 133 tons, Thomas ©. Durant; Palmer, 194 tons, R. Stuyvesant; Restless, 95 tons, Philip Phoentx; Josephine, 143 tons, B. M. O, Durfee; Calypso, 109 tons, A. S, Hatch; Haleyon, 121 tons, J, R. Smith; Alarm, 225 tons, A. C. Kingsland; the Lofs and Mystic, of the Atlantic Yacht Club, together with other schooners and a large fleet of sloops be- longing to both clubs. No positive arrangements will be made untll to-morrow, when the squadron Will doubtless be augmented by the arrival of the Fleetwing, Phantom, Cambria, Magic, Dauntiess, Silvie, Widgeon, Tarolinta, and probably the Vesta. A GRAND PYROTEOUNIO EXHIBITION would have been given last evening from on board the yachts, but just as the preparations were com- pleted the rain came pouring down in torrents, which, of course, prevented anything of the kind, Previous to the rain, however, the Madgie was beau- tifully ilumimated, and just extinguished her lights in time. It was a tremendous shower, com- Mmencing about hall-past eight o'clock, and con- tinuing with unabated violence throughout the entire night, A large number of the yachtmen had already come ashore and proceeded to the Ocean House to attend the hop given there, It was a very fine affair and was fashionably attended, tncluding alarge number of visitors from the adjoining cot- lages. The ruin seemed to become heavier as the night advanced, and at midnignt carriages were at apremium. For those who had none tie prospect Was @ sad one: for, however much Inclined visitors might have been to rewain at the hotel, their-lopes iu that respect were mercilessly frustrated, since there was “not a room tn the house.” Indeed, all the hotels are crowded, there is not a vacant col- tage, and Newport for once, at least, is crammed, ‘here Is rather @ mistaken Bolion abroad concern- ing this quaint old city as a watermg place. Some Occasional visitors, stopping there a day or two, de- part limpressed wth the style that is kept up aud the aristocratic “tone” of the piace generally, and with ali the brilliant equipages roiling before their vision, unhesitatingly proghosticate that New- port will one day be the watering place of America. But it should be borne in mind that Newport is not a mushroom summer re- sort, springing up in the freshness of tlie morn- ing, glittering with dewdrops and soon to be crushed by the first passer by, Its apcient historical associ- ations, the amvunt of wealth annually represented, the class of people residing in the cotiages—for hotel life is by no means the jeature here—the absence of quick and frequent communication from large cities make Newport a locality totaily distinct from perhaps any other watering piace in the country. no, therefore, when peopie speak of Newport as’a place itkely to improve, and as one yet destined to bear the palin over other localities, the main icatures which have lor years past characterized it are forgotten or were never kuown to them. ‘flat there are more enjoyable, pleasauier neighborhoods that afford much more amusements few would dure to deny; bui the very isolation of Newport is loved by its Inhabitants, 163 quietness eutertaing ther, aud its fossii surroundings are to them the most yerita- ble gems, ‘this digression from yachting toples was suggested by the rain last night, which, by the way, elicited mentally the most sympathizing and endear. ing thoughts. Sure evough mauy a warm and ten- der heart was Chilied as When its charming owner, stepping on the piazza after a delightful waltz, it pattered at the dreary prospect ahead. he hop was over about twelve; blustering, dripping coach- men whirled off with their carriages, but many a patent leather bad to piunge into th r and not @ few dandy coated sports were thoroughly soaked. But the hop was nevertheless agrecabie and entertaining. THR FLYING START mentioned in the protest seut to the committee by the owner of the Palmer against the Tidal Wave, which came in first in the race from New London Yesterday, was the subject of much discussion to- day. Tne protest compiains that the orders issued by the Commodore of the New York Yacht Club on Friday for the race in question were that the schooners should anchor in the line between the Pequot House and the hotel opposite, about halt- past eight o'clock; that one gun would be fired for the yachts to prepare, and that five minuies after- wards the signal gan to depart would be given; that the Tidal Wave was not at anchor when the gun was fired, and that she went off ona flying start before the other yachts. The ‘Tidal Wave, it will be remem- bered, came iu one minute and twenty-four seconds ahead of the Palmer. Although Commodore Voorhis Was not immediately notified of the protest, he states that his answer will not only dispel the Idea that he wens off fatentionally on @ flying start, but that It wil show he is entitied to the prize which he claims he has won. He contends that he was not informed by writing or verbally of the hour at which the vessels were to sail or of the regulations ol the contest, and that he merely weighed anchor when beaind the other yachts, in order co get into line with the others, and that just as he was about to do 8o the signal gun was proimptiy fired from the Acting Commodore's yacht, a circumstance which he did not expect, as he contends nearly half an hour or more clapses after the hour ofiictally an- nounced before the start takes place. Thus we matter stands, and among the questions under dis- cussion is whether any advantage was gained by the Tidal Wave tn having started in the manner mentioned. The committee will probably decide and whatever may be the result of their delibera- ons It is certain that some advantages must arise from it in regard to punctuality in the time of start- ing, the issuing Of instructions to all competlig yacht owners and general discipline. As already mentioned the yachis belonging to the Atiantic Yacht Cinb will enter in the race to be given here on Tuesday to Block island abd will subsequeniy Join the squadron on the cruise to New bedford, Commodore Voorhts will there hold a meeting, and it ts probable that the Atlantic Yacht Club will pro- ceed directly to Martha's Vineyard and on the ree turn call at Stonington and Greenport, THE COMING RACE. “Twenty milesio wiadward and back’? seems to be a great favorite with the yachtmen, and cially witn the owner of (he Cambria, Whose particl- pation in the approaching race is anticipated with much curiosity.

Newront, R. I., August 15, 1870. A race for schooner yachts came oif this afternoon. ‘There were s1x entries, and the prize was a cup sub- scribed for by the owners of the competing yachts. ‘The course was from a line between Fors Adams and the Dumpling to the buoy of the nortn end of Block Isiand, fying start. The weather was at first favorable, but the prospect of a calm deterred sev- eral yachts from participating. Contrary to expee- tation, however, the wind sprang up half an hour after the start, and a splendid breeze to windward was the result, The distance direct was about forty-five miles, but more ground was gone over, and, under all the circumstances, the capactties of the competitors wero welt tested, while a fine op- portunity was afforded for their display of good seamanship. At times the wind was very light, but the stretch to the buoy gave all a capital chance, a g00d southwest breeze giving considerable impetus to thelr speed. THE START. Twelve o’clock was the hour appointed for the start, which, however did uot take piace till an hour later, as the contestants did not arrive at the stake- boattill darkness had set in, As it was the race was very close, a3 will be seen bya comparison of the lume. The following schooner yachts entered:— Yachts. Entered by. Tonnage. Area, Maddeline Jacob Voorhis, Jr. 148.2 1,78" 2,031.9 1 12. 1,923 THE RACE. It being ebb tide and almost a calm, the contest- ants slowly approached the line, and with dificulty crossed it, It was @ flying start, and the time of each yacht was taken as she passed tho stakeboat, to be calculated on their return, At six minutes to one o’clock the firat gua to prepare was fred from the steamboat Pioneer, and five minutes later the signal to depart was given. Hotter, if possibile, than many of the days that preceded it, there was no wel- come breeze to counteract the burning rays of the sun, and the very faint pull from the northward was scarcely felt. The Madgle prior to the signal had crept forward to the front, aud accordingly took the lead, Next came the Halcyon, then the Tidal Wave, the Patmer and Idler. The Madgie kept in the centre of the channel, the Halcyon close to the shore, the Tidal Wave on ker starboard quarter, the Palmer clusely following, the Madeline more on the Dumpling side and the ler on her lee. For fully half an hour the vessels scarcely moved through the water, anda dull, tedious race was generally anticipated, Indeed, many yacnt owners were pleased at not having entered the con- test, and several vessels tuat had left their anchor- age for the purpose of accompanying the compett- tors put back into harbor, When three-quarters of the way up the channel the Madgie stood towards the Beaver Light, tho Halcyon still hugging the shore, the Tidal Wave In the centre, the Palmer on Ler lee quarter, almost bow and bow with the Madeleine, and the Idler slightly asiern. The yachts did litte more than drift, and between Bateman’s Point and the Beaver Tail Light courses were tm- mediately taken; but the progress of the contestants was extremely slow. Suddenly a slight breeze (rom the southwest filled the satis, and the yachts at once began to make way. The Madgie rounded the Beaver Tail Light and pointed towards the Narraganset shore, the Idler keeping close to Bateman’s Point aud the others in the same posi+ tions im Which they had left the line. The breeze freshened a littie more, and now the race Was fairly commenced under preity favorabie auspices. Alter clearing tie channel the Halcyon, which had hugged the shore near Bateman’s Point, went anead, and, the breeze still freshening from the south, more di- rectly for the Brenton’s Reef lightship, she rushed by tt near two o'clock, the Madgie standing straight on her course to the leeward along the Narragauset shore, The Tidal Wave was on the lee quarter of the Hal- cyon, about 300 yards astern, almost in line with the Palmer, which stood to wiadward, and the Made. leine in the centre, coming up beautifully as the wind strengthened and passed Brenton’s Re the laler following in the wake of th ‘aliner, ly the breeze began to freshen still . te duil prospects r had up ‘to this stage churacterized race were soon dispelled. There was a long roll on the Sea at tus time, and some of the yachts pitched pretty heavily. Immediately after passing the ligit- Ship the Paimer’s satis filled beauttiully and she inoved rapidly through the water, ‘The blast struck the Madeleme and she ahead of both the Halcyon and Palm ? ) - leine then stood off and came up on the leward quar- ter of the Tidal Wave. TT Wt yachts was now as follows:— ave to windward, almost bow and bow; both the Madetiene and the Madgie hugging Narra- ganset shore, the Halycon to the windward of the Madeilene, the Paimer and the idler astern, close hauled to the wind. At this stage the SCHOON ACHT SAPPHO hove tn sight and win; out and satied through the racers, he Madeliene headed Close to the shore, following in the wake of the Madgie, which was the first to make a tack and which passed uader the stern of the Tidal Wave. The Hatycon, which, by tie way, sailed well throughout, now came up on the windward quarter of the ‘tidal Wave. ‘The Madeline was the second vessel to tack, her exam- ple being quickly followed by the Tidal’ Wave. Par off to the windward stood the Idler, the Palmer con. tinuing her course on the wind and tacking soon after the Halevon, ‘The tide was setting out, and as the wind now blew strong there was but iituie advan- tage to be gained from standing into lund. rhe Madgie was now far off to ieeward, the Madeleine Tidal Wave and Haicyon alinost bow and bow, the last mentioned vessel to windward and the Palmer astern of her. The Tidal Wave and Haicyon had sabsequently quite an exciting little prus and, being io the Windward, the latter went ahead: ‘The first to gO about again was the Madgte, which tacked for Point Judith; butat this stage the strength of the wind began gradually to diminish. The Tidal Wave and the Halcyon continued on their course, followed by the Paliner, the Idler being asiern on her windward quarter. ‘The Halcyon was, perhaps, the leading vessel at this stage, the time being about five minutes past three o'clock, Ebb tide and wind from the souu- ward. ‘The Halcyon stood far off for the purpose of making a long stretch for the buoy. ‘The Madelein tacked after the Madgie and wiuded her, both head. ing tor Point Judith, Ahead of these w Wave, with the Palmer ou her lee quar the Ider being to the extreme wit In this manner the contestants for a considerablé distance without much alteranou, Before tacking tue Tidal Wave lay quite land, Immediately followed hy the Madgie astern of her, white the Ide: headed near Point Jndith before Madeleme tacked before any of th angies to the Halcyon, w actoss the ‘Tidal Wave. furtner ving about, going at right nh was now stretching ‘The Palmer and Madgie sailed with foretopsail down, ail the other fore ana att sails being set.

Meanwhile the Madeieine was making rapid strides and bore down upon the Halcyon. ‘The contest now began to be very exciting, The Madeleine gradually increased her speed, and when opposite Point Judith overhauled the Halcyon and passed her. it was now half-past eight o'clock and quite dark. The most vigilant lookout was kept, end as the yachts came near Brinton’s Reef lighthoase the ex- citement increased. The ‘Lidal Wave was makii towards Beaver Tall Light and the Madeleine come up with the Idler, The three were almost bow and bow and half a mile from the entrance of the channel. It was impossible to teil which was ahead. It was traly a beauu- ful and interesting race before the wind, and w @ thorough yuchtman, the spectacle must have been exciting in the extreme. The Idler kept close to Bateman’s Point, and the Madeleine was close om her stern, and within a hundred yards was the Tidal Wave creeping down on the opposite side, and im that order they proceeded slowly to the final goal. ‘There was a time when the Madeleine was almost abeam of the Idier, when within a couple of hundred ards from the fort; but the Idler, catching a ttle breeze—for the wind was now. very. Bight — slightly widened the gap between them. ie Tidal Wave came up on the Duinpling side and fired & gun, whilst the Idler and Madeleine were ia advance of her on the fort side. There was no stakeboat, and so the yachts passed the line; but which has won the cup It {8 tmposainie at this late hour to state, as no decision has been arrived at. The matter will of course be the subject of much discussion yet, However it may be deter- mined, one thiug ts certain, and that is—that a closer race has not been contested this year, or one in which schooner yachts were more scienttically handled. The Madeleine behaved exceedingly well throughhout, botn to windward and befure the wind, as indeed did all the others, The Halcyon, Palmer and Madgie fell back atter pagsing Point Judith, and did not arrive until thetr competitors the Madeleine, Tidal Wave aud Idler come to anchor. The Madeleine was tue last yacht in starting, and having come in within @ few seconds of the first vessel will probably claim the prize. Tuo official time and decision will be given to-morrow. THE REMAINDER OF THE PLEET started from New Loudon yesterday afternoon about four o'clock, and cruised in company to this port, arriving about midnight. The Magic had come of the ways, and the Phentota had been thoroughiy overhauled. Besides these there were the Cambria. A gun was fired from the Phantom, and the Magic, with her wonted celerity, Was the tirstto getoff. Then fol- jowed the Phantom, tn company with the Vambria, About ten minutes afterwards the Dauntless weighed anchor. The wind was very hight from the north, and continued so until opposite Watchhill. The Magic retained the lead, the Phantom being and the Cambria, with fuil galls set, third, She overhauled both the Magic and Phantom, and, favored by occasional puits, crept ahead. tt was a mere drilt, however, and devold of tnterest, When opposite Watcbhill the Dauntless came up with the Magtc and Phantom and passed the, ze freshening somewhat at the tim ‘ave ae salt re- wind soon left her, and she was in turn uied by the Magic and Phantom, the former coming well up on the Cambria, whose large. square sail and fore square ’ topsail, however, sectued to pnsh her along at a fair vate considering the lightness of the wind, Wituin ®@ mile or so of Port Judith the breeze again fresh. ened a litie, and the Dauntless, setting aer balloon Jib, once More caine up with the Cambria, bat ihe wind failed to hold, and the remainder of the cratse wus little more ‘hah a drift to Newport. ‘The wind was quite fresh all the morning, and a great desire was mantiested to see the Cambri Dauntiess, M: aud other yachts im a cous test also.

As previously stated, ‘however, tt 1s thought the feet will proceed to New Bedford, aud from thence to Boston, and, in all ‘probability, niong the coast of Matne, Several cups yet remain to be raced for, and the excitement inct- dent to the cruise has just begun, Besides the races spoken of, the Cambria will con- test in several private matches, for neariy every yacht owner in the squadron is desirous of testing Uhe qualities of lus vessel with those of the Britash craft. it shonid be menttoned that the time of the Made- line’s arrival in tniserace frou New London tw New= vt was four hours twenty-one minutes fifty-nine ads, and not four Lours twenty-five minutes six seconds, Witch was the time the Rambier passed the line.
