MAkTHA’S VINEYARD, Mass., August 20, 1870. According w the orders issued last evening the yacht squadron sailed to-day tor the camp grounds at Martha’s Vineyard, and the run was in every re- spect a satisiactory one, the yachts being favored throughout by a splendid breeze, Over fiiteen schooners started, and the spectacle presented as they left the harbor was extremely beautiful, Thousands of spectators Itned tne wharves and Piers, and under the most favorabie auspices the fleet set sail. The signal gun was fired from the Vice Commodore's yacht precisely at one o’clock, and shortly atter the vessels were under weigh. ‘The Dauntless was towed out near the New Bedford lightsnip, where sne lay to until the fleet passed, The sloops Gracie and Coming also sailed and had a One contest between them on the way. Afresh breeze was blowing from the southwest and the tide was at the first of the ebb. The Magle had started ahead under {tb and mainsail, and m advance of ber was the Halcyon. No topsalls were sel, nearly ail the vessels carrying only jibs, fore and main sails, The Cambria got under weigh quickly and got well to the front, The Sappho started ou uuder jlbs, 1oresall and mainsail, it was thought she would not accompany the feet, owing to the accident which Bappensa to her the evening previous when coming into the harbor, but a diver having examined her bottom it was found that only aportion of her copper had been torn off when scraping against the off Palmer's isiand. The Palmer gota good start and followed in tne wake of the Cambria. Next came the Madeleine and then the Josephine, to the windward, Next came the Phantom, then the Madgie. The former was on the starboard quarter of the Madeleine. Behind her came the Fleetwing, Fleur de Lis and Alarm, ‘The Sappho and Cambria were now close together, the former on the lee. Alter a lively little brush between them the Beppho put her jibs to windward and waited for the Dauntless, the Cambria also de- taying somewhat, and between the three vessels a very interesting run took place. The Madeleine made her first tack and weathered the Phantom. ‘The Palmer occupied avery good posliion on the lee quarter of the Cambria, when she carried away her jibboom and she was compelled to lay to fora while, Shortly before two o’clock the Dauntless set her jibs and foresail, and the breeze freshening con- erably she started in the wake of the Oambria and Sappho. Tne Madeleine now came up with the fatter and followed 1 whe track of the Cambria. There was no alteration tn the positions of the Fieet- wing, Flour de Lis and Aiarm, they just keeping close to the Sport, the Alarm in the centre and Fleur de Lis over to the leeward. At this stage the lc and the vessels starting with her were con- siderably ahead, hut the positions of the others were about a8 follows:—Cambria, Josephine to the lee- ward, Madeleine, Phantom and Madgie, The Daunt- less now came upon the Sappho, and both headed towards Naushou shore, The two vessels, not very far apart, went splendidly together, the Dauntiess to the windward, rather outsalling her, as they ap- proached the shore tacking towards Quickshoal. To the windward was the Cambria, but she lost that position when wearing Cuddy hunk. The run be- tween the Sappho and the Dauntless to wind- ward was watched with cousidera)lo inter- est from all the yachts, At ao juarter past three o’clock the Dauntless and Sappho tacked almost simultaueously, and the Cambria shortly afterwards, the Josephine, Phantom, Madgie, and Madeleine following in their wake, The Cam- bria had the lead, the Dauntless following her up closely and still holding her position to the wind- ward of the Sappho, After leaving Robinson's Hole and Quickshéal, and once into the entrance of the Vineyard sound, the Dauntless passed the Cambria which was aiso dropped by the Sappho. The Phan- tom saved considerable distance by lufing up near Westchips and crossing the middie ground, by which she also succeeded in getting by the Cambria. Alter going through Quickshoai, the vessels got the wind on the quarter, and the Sappho, quickly hoisting her main topmost staysail, in advance of the others got slightly ahead, the Dauntless uear West Chop ligit- house, and in this order the vessels proceeded to their anchorage oif tue Se rouud. The Sappho arrived at 4:35 o'clock P. M., Dauntless at 4:37:01, Phantom at 4:37, Cambria at 4:38, Madgic at and Madeleine at 4:41.

General Jones on behalf of the Commissioners of Emigration was represented by Mr, Nolan, The prisoner feels very indignant in consequence of tho remarks published in the IkrRaLD about him. He, in fact, went so far as to threaten the members of the press, especially the representative of the HERALD. The following testhnony was taken yes- terday before Justice McGuire in the case:— Miss Conroy, in her redirect examination, testified that she Informed officers Hitchcock and Ford, of the Twenty-third precinct, on the might following the perpetration of the outrage (the 10th inst), that Lane had “got the best” of ner i her room; after Lane had left her room she made no outery, but ou the following morning she told Mrs, Lane of the outrage. Both the above named officers denied that tho girl had wold them that Lane had committed the out- rage. O/fcer Hitchcock, however, on bis cross-ex- amination, acknowledged that Miss Covroy had informed him that Lane had been in her room, but asked ner what Officer Ford testified that the reason lie did not arrest Lane at the suggestion of the gtrl was because he was not aware al the time that an outrage had been committed on her by Lane. She merely told him that Lane had beaten her; but he did not think this stacement, coupled with the fact that he found her almost nude at three o’clock 1m the morning in the public street, 4 sufficient motive for him to arrest Lane, Byrne, of the iwenty-third preciuci, entered a com- pinint before the Police Commissioners against officers Hitchcock and Ford for not arresting Laue; but through some hocus-pocusing, When taken te the Central OMce, she did not embody in her com- plaint the fact that she nad stated to the officers that Lane had heen to her room and “had got the best"? of her, She merely states in that complaint that she informed the officer of an assault committed vy Lune upon her. Thomas O'Keeffe testified that on last Friday, when the complaimant went with an officer to Lane 8 house, he heard her state to Mra, Lane that she “was mad” when she made the charge against Mr. Lane; that she did not know what she was doing at the ume, and that If she could she would then get away Jrom the policeman, The witness did not, now- ever, hear what eise passed between’ Mra, Lane und the complainant. The toregolug conversation at about nine o'clock Friday prisoner's brother and several oth ‘orroborated O’Keeffe’s testimony, but all their statements were 80 much at va- riance with each other that the Court could not place much confidence in them.

News from Paraguay concerning the election of a President and other offictals has just been received. | Was elected President. ever, that it has been a shameful mockery, as the Brazilian forces (2,000 strong) paraded the streets on election day, under the flimsy pretence of preventing an outbreak, but in reality to overawe the inhabt- tants and coerce them into vottug for Rivarolas This fact, coupled with the hatred tnsptred by Brazil, must make the ead of trouble seem a3 distant as in the days ot Lopez, the dictator.

Coroner Keenan was yesterday notified to take the ante-mortem deposition of Mrs, Mary Ann Cronin, who now lies at the point of death in the City Hall Park Hospital from the injuries reeived from kicks administered by her husband, William, at their rest- dence, No, 64 Roosevelt street, Mrs. Cronin stated in that at an early hour yesterday morning, while she Was In bea, she heard @ noise at the door, which having opened gave admittance to her husband, who had been absent during the night. He was very drunk, and as he staggered into the room she asked him why he statd out so late. Without giving her any reply he kicked ther in tue abdomen, felling her to the ground. While she lay on the floor he kicked her in the back and on the head several time With some difficulty she got up and gained the street, but before she had gone any distance she discovered that she was bleeding from the womb, and therefore sought assistance at the City Hali Park Hospital. Being far advanced in pregnancy the Injuries are likely to prove fatal. The poor woman also stated that whenever her husband was drunk he ivariably abused her, A verdict was therefore rendered against Willian, Who was come mitted to the Tombs t Walt the result of his bru. tality, He 18a public porter, and has always been known as a quarrelsome A POLICEMAN BADLY BEATEN AND STADBED. At eleven o’ctock last evening a fight occurred in front of Tuomas McWadden’s liquor store, 205 West Houston street, between John MeDarrick, who resides at 652 Washington street, and other unknown parties. Oticer Hosford, who was on the post, attempted to arrest the rioters, when he was attacked, knocked down, kicked and beaten and slightly stabbed. McDarrick was subsequently arrested by the captain of the precinct. THREE MEN STAGED, About nine o'cloos last evening, a row occurred in veterson’s lager beer saloon, Nu. 220 West Forty- second street, in which three men, Terrei, Gurr and Hammal were sugbtly stabbed by ‘unknown pares _Who escaped, feor- | dW, Ruckie, of Oregon; Dr, L.

Last evening all was quiet along the dine of Twenty-third street and Broadway in the vicinity of Booth’s and Niblo’s theatres, and although long before the doors were opened @ large crowd had gathered atthe two entrances to gain admission, not a speculator showed his diminished head during the entire evening. if any one had he would certainly have been gobbled up by the potice- men, who, to use a neighboring bootbiack's expression, were “hanging ‘roung loose’ patiently awaiting whateyermight turn up. But it would seem that the present FEARFUL ASPECT OF AFFAIRS ‘ if not to be permanent; that tt is, in potnt of face, the calin that precedes the storm—a storm that ts to break out in one of our courts where the speculators: are to show their teeth again aud contest the of the THAR ARCS to pul a restraint on their bread aud butter business. ‘The managers contend that they have the law on their side, ‘The speculators pul forth the same claim. The former contend that if they Dad not the right to say wo should make up the aud ences of their theatres they would be totally atthe mercy of anybody who, for some cause or wother, might see ft to pack the house with bad characters; that, in fine, the sale of a reserved seal to a purchaser at the box office is & Speclal agreement between the buyer and seller, and that the latter has no right whatever vo resell the seats to a third party, To fortity this pretension, they base their late action on a city ordi- nance passed in 1860, which has never been fully en- forced. ‘Lhe speculators, on the other hand, contend that as long as the manager sets his fixed price for @ ticket for a reserved seat, itis none of his business to whom the ticket is sold or given, after it has passed from Lhe manager to the first purchaser, and that by no Jaw can a person be refused admissi when he holds @ genulne tickec. The mai that It is quite impossible for them to guarantee re- Spectable theatre-goers that they will be in respect- able company when they go to thetr theatres unless they have an absolute control over their reserved seals, and that this control they could keep intact did the speculators purchase their Uckets ta bulk, so that. they could be detected a8 speculators, The general bellef prevails in the public mind that tickets are purchased in quantities ata time by the specula- tors, Dut such is not the case. They purchase them by single seats, and twos and threes, and all through different parties employed for the purpose. It wil thus be seen how, ubkuown to a manager, one 8} ulator may get possession of dozens of tickets with- out being known as such when they are bought, A SKIRMISH AND ITS RESULT. Booth’s and Ntblo’s theatres have made the moat strenuous fight agatost the speculators, and against the first named theatre the malcontents have con- centrated their fire, The battle in Twenty-third Street first grew tuto alarming proportions by means of a “test by thespecuiators. The latter employed a “go-between,”” Whom they furnished with a ticket for a reserved seat for the occasion. He was stopped at the door, rated his voice very loudly in remon- strane such a disturbance by doing so that he was handed over to the tender mercies of & Kindhearted policeman, who took him to the lock- up on a charge of “disorderly conduct’ preferred by Mr. Magonigie. The next morning the “go- between? was taken by the policeman, as in duty bound, before “Justice Cox at Jeffer- son Market. = Mr, Mamas preferred his charge of ‘disorderly conduct. Then ensued & scene, It is, said, in wmch Dogberryishness made a splendid show Of ise. There were many of the specniators present, and the Justice Knew it, and so did Mr. Magonigie before he gotou. The Justice informed the manager mi effe that there was conduct which some people considered disor- derly wiich other people did not! The theatre man- ager declared tus knowledge of the wonderful fact. ‘then the Jasiice, without questioning the complatn- ant a¥ to What the “go-between’s” conduct pad been for which he had been arrested, allowed the defendant to have a littie say on his own account; during which the ticket which had been refused at } the door was produced.
