A meeting has been held here, attended by about forty leading capitalists of Massachusetts, New Hampshire acd Vermont and by aii the principal lumbermen in this neighborhood, the object being to forward the construction of the Caughnawaga ship canal to unite tne waters ofthe St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain. It was stated that the United Siates being the principal consumer of Canadian lumber the construction of the canal wonld increase the value of the production vot the Canadian forests, and it was claimed that as a ‘nancial measure it would recommend itself to capt- talists, as the Ottawa lumber trade last year ex. ‘ceeded 4,000,000,000 feet, the transportation of which would be cheapened by one dollar per thou- Sand compared with the present circuitous route. ‘The village of Bell’s Corners has been destroyed by fire.

Governor Holden sent for Chief Justice Pierson, ‘who arrived here last night. The Governor pro- posed to obey the writs to-day which haa been here- tofore issued by the Judge and deliver up those pris- oners before him in Chambers. Some sixteen or eighteen of them arrived here this afternoon, After the writs issued by Judge Pierson failed, because Governor Holden refused to deliver up the prisoners, ‘Judge Brooks was applied to, and issued writs under the fourteenth amendment of the constitution of the United States for the delivery of all these prisoners, and ordered @ return to be made to hum to-day at Salisbury.

If such a request is made a proclamation of neutrality by our ent will poe eaten ype issued, in son formity ae Se gene! vel heut were, will not be promulgated before, The talk of a spectal Cabinet Meeting on this subject, therefore, ts simply a glowing mixture of imagination and moonshine. jor General W.

All the hotels are well tilled and the season of seaside enjoyment ig at its heignt.

Forest City vs. Eckfords—Overwhelming De- feat of the Latter by a Score of 13 to 0. Not one of the many persons who wendea their way out to the Union grounds yester- day afternoon expected to witness anything like the game that was playea there between the veteran Eckfords and the somewhat renowned Forest City Club, of Oleveland, Ohio. Almost every one thought the former would be defeated, but no one was prepared to see them 80 completely ‘lone for,” so outrageously beaten as they were. ‘Indeed, the Eckford boys and thetr many triends thought to serve them as the Red Stockings did the Unions of ‘Tremont, or as the Mutuals did the White Stockings; but It was one of the few things that ts impossible of accomplishment on this mundane sphere. The Forest City Club is a strong one, as their career this season shows, but they lack one fing. and that is @ good captain. With Harry Wright in that po- sition ic 1s very doubtful if there ts aciub in the United States who could get overthem much. Their lay yesterday, with but one or two exceptions, was Jost simply superb. They have a “tip top” pitcher (J. White) and catcher (E. White). The former de- livers a very in ie swift ball, with any quantit of the genuine twist upon it. So efective, indeed, was his pitching yesterday that the Eckfords found it impossible to bat him, and only succeeded tn get- ting the ball outside the (nfleld twice, and then only to have it “gonbled up” on the fly. E. White, although not the regular catcher, has few superior in the country. He 1s exceedingly active, stands right up to the hottest kind of balls, and is, on the whole, sharp and active. Cariton’s play on first base and Sutton’s on third was as fine as was ever witnessed, the former alone capturing eighteen men, being as- sisted by the latter seven times. In the third in- ning the whole side was flelded out in one, two, three order by Sutton’s throws to Carlton. Indeed, too much cannot be sald in favor of the flelding and batting abilities of this club, and if they do not come at the top of the pile next season it will be their own faut. Of course the Eckfords felt sore over their crush- ing defeat, but they nevertheless took it manfully, resi confident that they had done their very Balad tlest to avert the calamity which befel them. ‘ Their greatest difficulty, as stated above, was in bat. ting, for they did very well in the flela, having only four serious errors recorded against them. Their pitcher, McDermott, needs a little more train- ing to teach him to deliver the ball a littie more careful when there 1s @ man on third base, * ‘The following is the score:-— FOREST OITY.

Toformation was received here to-day settling the question of the Presideut’s movements for the bal- ance of this month, The President will not come here to-morrow to hold a Cabinet meeting, as so generally stated, but he will remain quietly in Long Branch until the close of next week, when he will proceed to Glenclyfe, the summer residence of Secretary Fish, opposite West Point, N, Y. The Pre- sident will arrive there tn time to attend the closing hop Of the season at West Point on the 29th of Aa- gust, and he will spend a few days with Secretary Fish. Secretary Robeson will also pay a visit to Glencly fe to-morrow or next day, and probably re- main until the departure of tue President, The Next Democratic Presidential Candidate. Francis P, Blair, Sentor, declares that in his con- versation with your correspondent, a few weeks ago, he did not intend to state that Judge Chase was his preference for the next democratic or oppo. itton can- didate for President, A close reading of your cor- respondent's account of that interview will show that Mr, Blair was not represented as so saying, but merely a8 expressing the opinion that “a thorough Union man and patriot’ should be selected, A very general impression, however, seems to have obtained that Mr. Blair expressed a preference for Judge Ohase. Such, however, was not the fact, Tho Attempted Assessmeut of Clerks tor Poti- tical Purposes. A convention of the presidents of the several State republican associations tn this city, including the president of the Southe rn Republican Aswocta- tion, was held Tuesday evening, and an organiza- tion perfected by the election of A, M. Clapp, ef New York, president, and Charles T, Murray, secretary. Colonel Cowie was subsequently elected flnaucjal agent, The following organizations were repre- sented:—New York, A. M. Clapp; Pennsylvania, Colonel D. C. Nevins; Indiana, Charles T. Murray; Mllinols, Colonel A. H, Holt; lowa, Colonel George W. Cowie; Michigan, M. L. Higgins; Kentucky, General A. M. Stout; Southern Republican Club, General Allen Rutherford, The special business con- sidered was the late assessment imposed upon offl- cers of the civit service by the Republican Congres- sional Executive Committee. The members of the convention, while recognizing the importance of the approaching elections, and agreeing with the committee as to the necessity of national aid being extended, were unanimously of the opinion that the object sought would be more satisfactorily accomplished in the manner heretofore adopted by the respective State associations. On motion, Messrs. Clapp and Murray were tn- structed to draw up resolutions expressive of the sentiment of the meeting in regard to the assess- ment, Their report was unanimously adopted, suggesting the policy of voluntary contributions as more bene- ficient than a system of arbitrary assessment, ‘The views of the convention have been laid before the Congressional Commitiee and been approved. Rumored Despatches Concerning the War. Some of the newspapers are datly publishing despatches from this city, purporting to convey the substance of telegrams received from Europe by the State Department, Monsieur Berthemy and Baron Gerolt in regard to the war movements. It is not too much to state that there is not one word of truth in them. Very few despatches are received here, and they always contain information two or three days old, Baron Gerolt and Monsieur Berthemy jaugh at some of the alleged despatches which they are represented as receiving trom their home gov- eruments.

A Madrid telegram in to-day’s papers states that Colonel Hay, Secretary of the American Legation, is on his way to Washington to adjust the qnestions arising from the Cuban situation. Our government knows nothing regarding the movements of Colonel Hay further than this newspaper account, nor is it probable his mission is correctly stated, for the - son that the adjustment of such questions belong to the governments of Spain aud the United States. Some weeks ago General Sickle s, under imstructions irom the Secretary of State, de livered to the Regency the proposition on our part for an adjustment of the pending questions, and suggesting thatjthis take place in Washington, To this proposition the Spanish government has as yet made no response. Our government has not forsome months received any intelligence of im- portance from Cuba. The American Consul at Havana has been ill.

The late rebellion {nterrupted the adjustment of a great many accounts with federal officers employed in the South, and cases of the kind «re continualiy arising to bother the departments, The latest Is that of Assistant Marshals Inthe Southern States engaged in taking the elghth census. It appears they have not yet received their pay, the breaking out of the rebellion having prevented it by the sus- pension of their accounts with the Superintendent of the Census. An appropriation was made by the last Congress for the payment of such claims, anda the accounts of the unpaid Marshals will be audited in the same manner as similar officers under the present Census law, so far as practicable. The retary of the Interior has ruled that such Marshals, in presenting their accounts for adjustment, must take the tron-clad oath, otherwise they will receive no pay. the Kighth Payment of Census Marshals, The Superintendent of the Census Bureau, the Fifth Auditor and the First Comptroller have held several consultations lately and agreed upon a sys tem of auditiug the accounts of the 6,000 assistant marshals employed in taking the present census, Superintendent Walker is preparing a form of ac- counts, which is to be supplied to all the assistant marshals and by them filled up and forwarded to the Census Office, from which they will be trans- mitted to the Fifth Auditor for farther ex- amination. One half the payment of claims will be made at once, but the balance will be reserved until it is ascertamed that the amount of appropriations made to take the census is suficient to cover the en tire expenses, After passing through the Fifth Au- ditor’s office the accounts will be transmitted to the First Comptroller, and after undergoing this final adjustment they will be reported back to the Super- intendent of Census in schedule form.

The subject of the manufacture of vinegar from mashes, worls or washes is receiving attention by the internal revenue officers, The construction of the law seems to be such as to prohibit the manu- facture of vinegar from mashes, &c., and to compet the use of tax pald spirits instead of the alcohol contained tn such mashes as has been heretofore usnal, The enforcement of thts view of the law must therease the revenue from spirits, as the quantity of vinegar consumed by the country wil require snnualiy about 1,000,000 gallons of spirits for it8 production, This would increase the internal revenue from tax paid spirits about half a milion dollars annually.

It was decidedly the finest race that haa taken place aince the squadrou arrived here, The British craft wou vy eight minutes and forty-three seconds on time, the Cambria having allowed tue Idler two minutes and fifty seconds. ‘The very best qualities of the yachts were bronght into requisition, and the Cam- bria, in carrying off the cup, unquestionably provea herself to be a splendid vessel on the wind, which Was more favoraple for the contest to-day than for any event that has taken place this week. In fact it was just strong enough for the display of the weatherly qualities of both — ves- sels, and ia de(eating the Idler the Cambria has added much to her reputation, espectally in this country, since the former waa regarded by most yachtmen as one of the ablest yachts in the squadron, Indeed, the feeling prevailed generally that the Idler would have easily ontsailed her ad- Versary, even beating to windward; while it was supposed by those who seemed to know both vessels that the Cambria would stand litte chance with her on the homestretch before the wind, 1t was claimed, however, that “ad the Idler not split her stem at a time when 4+ ae weather- ing the Cambria the result might ba? veen differ- ent, Howbeit, the British yacht satled beautifully when tie wind was strongest, and the credit of the triumph she —meritortously achieved must be accorded her. The Idler was certainly winding her opponent when the mishap occurred, and was compeiled to tack to the westward to remedy the open stem; but the ves- sels were over three miles apart at the ume, and, even had no accident taken place it ts dificult to etate what the result of the contest would have been. As It was, the Cambria rounded the buoy ninetecn minutes ahead, while the Idler gained some five or six minutes on the retura belore the wind, All things considered, it was a splendid race, and a futr opportunity was afforded both vessels to extilbit their sailing qualities (o advantage, So far as ma- neenvres were Concerned the contest was not so in- teresting as some of the races that precedea it; but for speed and good sailing it has not been surpassed, There were very few tacties employed, long stretches belng made throughout, and the distance between the competitora robbed the affair of the excitement which marked the race with the Patmer yesterday, when the two vessels kept together within cable lengths of each other till within three miles of Block Islaud. The result of the conteat caused some surprise, as it was geuerally anticipated that the Idler would win, She was the favorite ai odds, jus! as much as the Cambria was the previous day, and whea it was announced that the Cambria had won tie cup con siderable astonishment was mianifesied, and not a few were disappointed, THE COURSE AND TRRMS OF TUR RACE. As already mentioned, the wind was extremely favorable, The course was the same as that sailed over the previous day—namely, from a stakeboat stationed at a line between For! Adams and the Dumpling to and around the buoy off Biock Isiaad aud retury, the entire distance direct being over forty miles, I) was the intention of the Commodore to proceed to New Bedford with the feet, but as the wind was fresh and the — parties anxious to race the squadron remained in the harbor here. By the terms — of the race, the yachts were to sail according to the regulations of the New York Yacht Club, time allow- ance being giv 8 the Cambria was the larger vessel the Idle 4 two minutes fifty seconds and six-tenths of a second. The respective measure- ment of the yachts was as follows :— Name. Entered by Cambria james Ashbury. idler... -T. C. Durant Tonnag L At midday the yachts left their anchorage in the harbor and proceeded towards the fort. The Cam- bria carried the same sails as on yesterday —na mely, flying jib, forestaysatl, foresail, mainsali and work- ing fore and main topsalis, ‘The idler carried the usual fore and aft satis, with the exception of the fore gait topsail, which was hauled down, A gun was fired from the Phaatom for the yachts to get ready, and a few minutes later the contestants sroased the line on a flying start, ia the following order:- H. M. 8 Cambria -12 2 30 Idler... ‘12 30 OL It was now the first of the ebb, and the wind was fresh from the southwest, Starting out in advance the Cambria got to the windward and first tacked towards the Dumpling, the Idler being tmme- diately on her lee and following in the wake of her adversary, but went over very close to the shore. ‘The Idler was the first to go about, but the Cambria made @ pretty 1ong stretch close to the land, and on making the first t: she was pretty well to the winaward, The Idler was tacking from the fort side, and the Cambria making towards Bateman’s Point, and when midway in the channel the Idler passed under her stern, going in the opposite di- rection, both being equi-distant fron the shore on either side, A short tack, however, ou tus part of the Idler again brought her in the wake of the Cambria. The positions of the vessela now much resembled tnose of the Palmer and Cambria when quitting the harbor, The Cambria, on making her second tack, was forty-flve seconds in stays, on her third fifty seconds, and on her fourth about forty seconds, her average belug about forty-seven seconds. Just as the yachts cleared the channel the wind freshened and the sea was rolling some- what. The Cambria weathered Bateman’s Point on sixth tack about haifa mile, and took & southeasterly course. the Idler still following in her wake, and while the former was gradually oursalling her the latter worked to Windward in good style, This was a very long stretch, and as the Cambria, close-hauted, was rush- ing swiftly through the water, the Idler managed to geta very good windward position, and so they parted company. On this stretch the wind altered two points, which in some measure accounted for the strides wo windward being made by the Idler, The course now pursued by the Cambria was south by west, half south, far out from but opposite the Narraganset shore, Tne Cambria gradually widened the gap. At ten minutes to two o'clock the Idler tacked and headed towards Point Judith, ‘This is the time the accident is satd to have oc- curred to the stem of the Idler, It was split open and the chain of the anchor seized on the bobstay and hove to it, which secured the bowsprit, and enabled her to continue the race, her course then being about west by north. At half-past two o'clock the Idler was about three miles anda half on the Cambria’s lee. The wind was very fresh, and both yachts proceeded ata lively pace, The Idler tacked at 2:25 P. M., the wind altering slightly in favor of the Cambria, The ror- mer again tacked at 3:33 P. M., and the Cambria at 8:29, the Idler being about three miles on her lee beam. This was the prettiest part of the contest, and the time when the yachts went fastest, After a magnificent run the Cambria rounded the buoy at 3:54:30 P. M., running past it within three or four feet, It was a wonderfui performance, but was attended with great risk, for had she touched the buoy she would of conrse have been raled out of the race. The Idier was now about two miles to the leeward of the buoy, and had to make four tacks to 7 round it, the following being the tim> of each ver ael:— Name, WM. & Cambria, 3 O48 Mer... 4uw THE RUN HOME before the wind Possessed no features of Interest.
