Departure ef the President and Party from Bos- ton for Hartford—Ovations on the Route— Enthusiastic Reception at Hartford— Hospitality of Governor Jewell. Harrrorp, Conn., Sept, 28, 1870, Boston, pre-eminently notable for its “solid men,’ for being out of debt, for crooked streets and east winds, and yet mingling with these distinguishing characteristics straightforward dealing and the most generous warmth of hospitality, bade an af- fectionate adieu to the President this alternoon—or, in other words, the President, greatly pleased with his brief visit, and which, if circumstances had per- mitted, he would like to have made much longer, left, at a quarter past two o'clock this afternoon, his elegant suit of rooms at the St. James Hotel, in Boston, shook hands with a large number of promt- nent public officials and leading citizens who came to pay him their parting respects, stepped into a carriage in waiting for him, and with his party, con- sisting of Mrs. Grant, Miss Neliie Grant ana Mr. L. N. Feit and daughter, was drivenjto the Boston and Albany Railroad depot, where he took the three o’clock P. M. train for this place. He came away specially pleased with his Boston visit, because of the cousiderate deference paid by the people there to his wishes in avoiding any pub- Itc dispiay or ceremontous receptions, the purpose taking hun there being simply, as stated in my pre- vious despatches, to place his son, Ulysses S. Grant, Jr., in Harvard University, and which purpose he brought to final completion this morning by riding out with him directly after breakfast to Cambridge, Mrs. Grant and Nelile, his daughter, also going along, and there leaving him to enter to-morrow upon his course of collegiate studies in his still und solitary student chamber in Thayer Hau, in the sacred groves of ciassic Harvard. ‘they wok ther paring leave of him—a leave- taking too sacred and tender and loving to be laid Devore the world—a leave-takiug in which mingled @ fatherly affecuon and blessing, & mother’s ‘tears and prayers, & sister’s devotion und a youth tremuious with emotion, but with burning thoughts glowing with brigitest visions of the future.

Several Important affidavits were taken yesterday at Provo concerning the recent outrages by soldiers here. General De Trobriand, from Camp Douglas, assisted In the examination of the witnesses. Gov- ernor Shaffer publishes a copy of a letter to General De Trobriand, biaming him for delaying an investiga- tion, and having no official reports made by the oitl- cers in command. He finishes by saying: — “df the United States soidiery cannot fulfil the high object in being sent here to the better credit of the nation end the American armies we would much rather be let alone to ourselves.” ARRIVAL OF 1HE CITY OE DUBLIN, The Inman steamsiip City of Dublin arrived in New York on Sunday, cheering the hearts of many of our citizens. She had been due some days, though understood to make slow passages, and her log showed an encounter with unusually heavy weather, especially since the 19th inst. ‘The ship experienced dense fogs and heavy rolling seas from the moment of leaving Queenstown, and was delayed by reason of her jour- nals becoming heated, from the efforts made to keep up against head winds. A perfect gale opened on the lvth, when she suffered much damage. At half- past seven in the evening a tremendous sea broke over the Dore Lett deluging re decks with tons of water and carrying awz tue bridge, ventilator and ifebouta, Ea ward Farnsworth, a young Englishman, was lost overboard at this time. The storm increased to such anf extent that the (ity of Dublin lay to for a time in the trough of the fea, and afterwards made but slow headway in com eting her voyage against the storm. ‘The officers state that they must have encountered @ cyclone, and believe they were in the midst of it. ‘Tiiis idea is supported by officers of other ships now in, Who report a storm blowing ap- parently 17 a circle, RUY DOWN BY 1 FERRYBOAT. The ferryboat Plainfield, in crossing from Jersey City to New York yesterday forenoon, run down a small boat in which two mn had been seated. For- tunately the men, on finiing that they could not escape the collision, jumpel tuto the water and had barely time to get out of tle course when the small boat Was struck by the paddies of the ferryboat and turned over four or five ties. The men struggied in the water lor neary seven minutes before assisiance reached them,ind then they were on the verge of exhastion. Theywere rescued by the crew of a smack, and none bit expert swimmers conld have held themselves so bng afloat, considering the weight of their wet cidhes. The ferryboat New York, from Cortlandt steet, passed near the spot, and there yaas great indimation among the passen- gers of boM@ierryboats wien they saw the two men Teft to struggle in the watir for so longa time. The pilot ofthe Plainfleld jwtifed himself by the plea that he was endeavoring b avoid the ferryboat New York and a smack whidilay astern of the latter.

The Dauntless, the Tidal Wave and Madeleine the Winners. Though by no mean so: favorable as was destfed, the wind yesterday was not altogether unauspicious for the great contests to windward from which such a@satisfactory issue was anticipated. Great interest Was nevertheless manifested in the race towards its close, and while of course yachtmen might not regard the event as a satisfactory test of the quall- tles of the competitors, it cannnot be de- nied that, considering the absence of that ever welcome ten-knot breeze, nearly all the larger vessels sailed with wonderful speed, much faster, in fact, than the majority of their less gigantic rivals, partly upsetting the theory ‘that only the small yachts can move swiftly in light winds, The race to windward when the competi- tors were outward bound was not marked by any freat notable features, it being partly a drift, and it was only when approaching and after rounding the stakeboat that the regatta assumed a lively and exciting appearance, The run to the home stakeboat was decidedly an interesting spectacle, especially towards the finish, the Dauntless coming in the wmner of the cup pre- sented by Rear Gommodore Douglas, and the Tidal Wave the victorious craft in the regatta for the prize given by Mr. Ashbury, while the Madeleine Was successful in carrying off the cup given by Mr. Stuyvesant, THE PRIZES AND REGULATIONS FOR THE RACE. ‘The race for the Ashbury Cup, it will be remem- bered, was postponed from Tuesday until yesterday, which was also the time fixed for the regatta for the cup presented by Rear Commodore Douglas. A cup Was likewise offered by Mr. Ashbury for sloops. The Tace was to be sailed according to the rules of the New York Yacht Club, In the contest for Mr. Doug. las’ cup, however, the usual regulations were to be observed in respect to canvas, but there was to be no allowance on any difference in the size of the vessels. It was agreed that the two races should be run simultaneously and that all the vessels pre- viously entered for either should compete in both regattas, Such was the decision arrived at, and truly a more handsome or larger array of silver has not been offered for competition in any contest during the season. It should be added, moreover, that Mr. Stuyvesant gave a cup for the second schooner in the Ashbury race. So far, therefore, as the inducements and entries were concerned no- thing was left undesired by the sanguine yachtman; but the gloomy ANTICIPATIONS OF A CALM parily marrea the bright hopes that were generally. entertained. At an carly hour there was scarcely a mppie in the bay, nor could the most ex. perlenced seaman confidently predict a breeze. The club steamboat, with the judges—Messrs. George W. Wilson, Stuart M. ‘Taylor and William B, Nichols—arrived at the Horshshoe shorily before nine o'clock, passing severa! of the yachts on their way to the starting ground, including the Idler, Cambria, Dauntiess, Sappho, Tarolinta and others, The orders of the previous day were re- peated, to the gemect that the contestaits should start irom a line between the point of the Hook and @ stakeboat, the Relief, the course being twenty miles to windward end back, flying start. But any attempt to get the Negeals. off, even after they were all in perfect readiness, seemed perfectly idle, and towards ten o'clock, and long after that hour, it was generally beileved that the races would have to pe again postponed, owing to the calm and the very poor prospects which pre- sented themselves. The yachts meanwhile drifted about in the harbor, awaliing the signal to depart. According to the regulations the first whistle was to ¢ blown to get ready, and the second, ten minuies after, to start. The judges waited patiently for a breeze, anxious to avoid another adjournment, and desirous, in view of other events announced, that these contests should, if possible, be determined. Several pleasure steamboats, laden with spectators, were in attendance. ‘The following yachts were entered: Nome. Entered by. Cambri Jamen Ashbury. ’. Loper. William Vorbis. Tonange. Area. - $32. After remaining stationary for about an hour the jndges took advantage of @ silght breeze from the southeast and gave the first signal to prepare at 1 A.M. Immediately afterwards the yachts moved slowly towards the line. The Dauntless and Cambria crossed, but as the second signal had not been given they were compelted to go back. Some beautiful Manceuvring took pigce prior to the start. All the contestants were of course anxious to be near the line as possible; but the breeze being light, and as the yachts were allowed lo cross after the signal was given, none seemed particularly anxious to proceed, The sec- ond Whistle was blown at thirteen minutes to twelv o'clock A. M., and the competitors being now well up to the line passed the stakeboat, the following tune being taken for ‘THF START. . M. HM. 8. Dauntless. at 120 33 5a 3 1 4% ow 2 2 46 65 134 (16 59 29 Madgle. . a7 The wind was extremely light from the southeast, being about a quarter ebb. ‘The Dauntless was foi- lowed by the Tarolinta and Tidal Wave on her tee. The Cambria, alter crossing, went back apparently to make a fresh start, and, joining the Palmer, got in the wake of the Madeleine. The Idler came next in the lee quarter of the Palmer, and behind her were the Alarm, Josephine and Madgie, Alter movin siowly lor some distance the last mentioned vesse. went about at thiriy-live minutes past twelve P. M. and tacked towards the soutuward. ‘The Dauntless and Tidal Wave continued on their course, pomting towards the Long Isiand shore, the former being well up to the windward, THE RACE was now fairly commenced. The Sappho, though hot in the race, accompanied the contestants, crossing the line at 12:7:16 P.M. Quite an inter- esting contest ensued between the Palmer and Cambria, both being nearly bow and bow for nearly half amile. Ata quarter to one o'clock the Tidal Wave rau up her foretopsail and tacked ina tew minutes, the Dauntless also, going about soon alter, At ten minutes to one the Cambria tacked towards the southward, and the Palmer followed her exam: ple, being now well to the windward of her. ‘The ‘Tarolinta, Idler and Alarm proceeded in the same di- rection. Meanwhile the Sappho conitnued tn a south- erly direction, the Madeleine following tn the wake of the Dauntless. When nearly all the vessels were tacking towards the southward the wind hauled round from southeast to south, and as it freshened 4 littie some interesting salling ensued, bnt the relative positions of the yachts were not materially changed. After heading towards the shore of the Hook the Tidat Wave tacked again, the Palmer following in her wake, the less still standing on @ southerly course, the Cambria seemed not to sail thougu on her second tack she well up with the Palmer. On her next tack the ntless got well to windward of the fleet, ‘The ‘Vidal Wave now made another tack, evidently intending to make the stakeboat. At this Ume the Palmer aod Cambria were again in com- pany, the former hoisting her main gafftopsail. Hav- ing gone the requisite twenty miles the steamboat anchored at twenty-five minutes past two P. M. The Madeleine meanwhile kept well im the wake of the Dauntiess and seemed to noid good her position in respect to the otter yachts. At twenty-four mmutes past three P, M. the Dauntless made a short tack for the stakeboat, and it was now believed thatthe Tidal Wave could not weatuer tne stakeboat, but by a very Clever manwuvre sie managed in the nick of time to round it in advance, baying done 80 by a very short tack, which Was atteaded with not a litte risk. Daunt- Somehow ROUNDING THE STAKEBOAT. After an interesting contest from abaut two miles from the stakeboat the yachts rounded it as under:— With a free wind the competitors made good way home, and a pretuer lee ay as the yachts under fuil sail headed towards the Hook could not have been witnessed. The capital mancuvres, or, aps, good luck, Lad now placed the Tidal Wave the lead- ing vessel, and, with her centrebourd up, she skimmed along 1 good style, followed by the Daunt- less on the port side, the Madeleine being a good third. It was thought, and not unwisely, that the Palmer would uow have & good opportunity of showing her qualities, A few miles from the stakeboat she came up with the Cambria and pasaed her. ‘The Idler, whieh, by the y, sailed very well throughoug, also overhauied her, 43 (id subsequently the Madgie; and In this order the yachts proceeded for over ten miles. When about five miles from the home stakeboat the wind freshened, and the Dauntless rapidly bore down on the Tidal Wave, and after an interesting struggle between them pagsed her, There was no other variation, with the en a of the Alarm joining the Cambria and finally quitting her, But while no’ material changes took place the contest was nevertheless full of interest to the spectators on the steamboats, Who now and then gave full vent tothe enthusiasm which the be: ‘of the exnibition tnspired. Little more re- Mains to be sald. ‘Towards the end the contest be- came very exciting, more particularly in regard to the question 4s to which yacht should carry off the honors, there bemg two chief prizes, and one of them to be determined by the question of time. It was noW past sundown and the close of the even- ing was at hand. On came the yachts, bowling along in splendid style, the leading ones not far apart, and the majority of them being clustered together with nearly all their canvas spread. The Dauntless still retained the leud and seemed to widen the ap between herself and the Tidal Wave, the Madelel ine, Palmer and Idler coming up in admirable shape. After quite an interesting contest for about two or three miles the following time of the arrival’ of the yachts was recorded at THY HOME STAKE BOAT, Seeven S828 ‘The Dauntless was accordingly declared the. win- ner of the cup presented by Rear Commodore Douglas, The cup offered by Mr. Ashbury was awarded to the Tidal Wave, and the Madeleine car- ried off the cup given by Mr. Rutherford Stuyvesant for the second schooner in the race sailed according to the club regulations regarding time allowance. It may be mentioned that the Sappho, though a non- participant in the contest, sailed beautifully through- out, 16 P.M., rounded the 8:47:5 P.M, arrived at 6:13:1, and her actual time of making the raco was 6h. 5m. 453. It was merally regretted that there was not more wind, for had there been suf- ficient the race would have been, undoubtedly, one of the fnest of the season, As it was, however, the regatta was full of interest, and though not deimon- strating the best capacities of the yachts, was never- theless @ spirited affair. The following ts the of cial record of the judges in relation to the actual time in which each yacht made the race and the correc! time by aliow- ance:— Actual Time of Making the Race, Yachts. i M.S. 4 Dauntless... 6 11 0 6 20 ‘Tarolinta 6 46 56 6 40 36 6 12 6 10 4 26 6M 6 a2 67 6417 617 35 6 21 49 6 4 6 16 12 6 4 6 29 48 6 36 2 6 5 30 6 2 os 62 47 It was almost dark when all the yachts arrived.

Pay Only Five Cents on Street Cars After ithe Ist of October—No Stamps in Future on ReceiptsPeople of Moderate Salarics Exempt from Income Tax. On Saturday next, October 1, the new Internal Revenue law takes effect, It 1s interesting to many millions of people, and {ts features are briefly as follows:— It abolishes the tax on sates of all merchandise except liquor and tobacco, the tax of one-twelith of one percent on brokers’ sales, the tax of two and a half per cent on the gross earnings of all railroads and the tax requiring @ stamp on every receipt over twenty dollars, The foregoing represents an im- mense reduction in the sum total of internal rev- enue taxation, but there are other reductions besides, ‘The stamp on all promissory notes under one hun- dred dollars Is abolished. If a mortgage deed be properly stamped no stamp in future will be needed on the assignment. The tncome tax of five per cent is reduced to two and a half per cent, payable in March, 1871. The exemption from tax, hitherto fixed under one thousand dollars income, 1s raised to two thousand dollars, which wiil let of very many thousands from obligations to the internal re- venue in this particular. ‘The enumeration of disembodied taxes here made is a very favorable indication of the temper in which Congress 14 disposed to treat the burdens of the people. ‘To the mass of the population in this great city of New York the item of highest interest in the list ts the repeal of the tax on railroad receipts. The tax was uot the thing to which the public objected. On the contrary, they rather felt disposed to see the wealthy corporations owning the railroads of the metropolis liberally assessed for the support of the revenue. The great trouble with that unfortunate tax was that the law by which it wus created allowed the corporations to save themselves by levying one per cent on the public. This one per cent became tive per cent in the hands of the companies, and the five cents a head for carrying passengers was raised to six. It is well remembered—better, perhaps, than many events of nistorical importance—by tue people of New York when that most obnoxious tax went {nto operation, Public indignation knew no bounds, and the free, hearty storm of abuse di- rected against the “grasping,” “soulless,” ‘selfish’? corporations will never be forgot ay, cases: ditional penny resulted in of protest agamst the fights and law suits; but finally the companies won the day, and have been for yeirs In the quiet pos- session of that mighty, profitable penny. New Yorkers will enjoy this coming back to tie old price of five cents a ride as they have seldgm before enjoyed any legislative act done in their behalf. Of course very many ignorant of the change will go on mechanically paying six cents for some time afier next Saturday, and the conductors, it is not too much to believe, will go on receiving the old fare without ever a word of objection. To some it is not 80 much the reduction of one per cent that will be hailed as a boon as the convenience of making the iare and the change @ well-defined frac- tion of a dollar. Another feature of the law will be hailed with universal satisfactioa—namely, the abolition of the stamp on receipts. Every one knows what @ nut- sance it has been, but we have been accustomed to itso long that many will find it awkward to pocket a receipt for over $20 without the familiar stamp on its face. The reduction of the income tax trom five to two and a half per cent is unanimously approved among all who had occasion to pay it. Those who had not are perhaps indifferent. By exempting all who re- celve incomes of less than $2,000, in place of $1,000, as formerly, @ large number of persons, such as master workmen, well paid salesmen, bankers’ clerks, &c., will be exempted. Wail street and that neighborhood will rejoice at the removal of the tax of one-twentieth of one per cent on broker's sales. The repeal of the stamp on all promissory notes under $100 will be apprectated, Thaton mortgage assignments never yielded much ofan imcome to the revenue, and itis as well in being abolished.

Havana, Sept. 21, 1870. The landing from the English steamer San Salva- dor of the men and arms which sailed trom Nassau on the 7th seems to haye been successfully accom- plished on the night of the 15th, on the soutn coast, not far from Trinidad. It wilt be remembered that this vessel had cleared for St. Domingo, and having, on the day first mentioned, moved out some four miles, there took on board some thirty-five Cubans, brought out to her in small schooners, Although her papers were entirely regular and there was no cause whatever for detaining her, yet the Governor of the Bahamas was satisfied that she was bound for Cuba, and at once nolitied the British Consul Gene- ral in Havana of the fact, who communicated it to the authorities here. Aside from this her sailing and probable destination was well known im Nassau, and on the arrival of the steamer Alissouri trom that Place an account of the same was published in the local papers here. ‘the Spaniaras were therefore well informed of the expedition, and ‘prepared to \hwart it, As the San Satvador was very old, slow and unseaworthy, 1 was supposed she would move tothe nearest practicable potnt on the north side. and a strict watch was kept on that coast, Instead of this, however, she steamed around the east end of the island and along the south coast to the point of disembarkation, The condition of affairs upon the vessel during the voyage was frightfnl, as soon after starting she sprung a leak and constant efforts were necessary to keep her above water. A letter found on board after the expedition had landed aptly describes this, 1 translate it us follow3:— Ar SRA, ON Boanp STRAMER SAN SALVADOR,? Sept. 15, ev.

On tne 18th the military com- mandant of ‘Trinidad telegraphed Lo the Captain General as follows:— At six o'clock this morning the lookout gave notice that a suspicious steamer had anchored between the river Canas and Guanayara, and that she was disembarking men and arms.

CoAST OF GUANAYARA, Sept. 18, 1870, ‘This is aa the despatch appeared tn the local jour- nals here. ‘The military commandant of Ctenfuegos on the same day telegraphed that the pilot and six sailors had been captured and that the flivusters who escaped, numbering thirty-live, were under command of one Lopez, a nephew of Narciso. ‘nis last, however, can bardly be true, as Juan Osorio was known to be in command, ‘The Spanish statement that her arms were cap- tured 1s entirely inconsistent with the fact of the vessel landing on the 16th and remaining undis- turbed until the morning of the 18th, between which dates abundant time was afforded to land the arms. Aside from this, however, reliable private accounts received here state that the landing was compleie and successful; that all of the expeditionists escaped, and no effort was made to pursue them, and w that by far the greater part of the arms were carried with them. The vessel being ina sinking condition and the coal nearly exhausted, no efiort was made to escape, and the following named persons rema.in- ing on board of her were capiured:—Pilot Joseph J. Edgecombe, and firemen Eaward Wolmherd, Edward Cambndge, Chas, O’Brien, Chas. Edmunds, John To- mas and one other seaman, name not known. Of these the first two were white and the others muiatioes and blacks, As the vessel was under English colors the question of the disposition of these prisoners will, of conrse, remain between the Spanish and British governments, The Execution of Don Luis Ayestaran in Ha. vana—The Latest Victim of the Garrote— Noble Bearing of the Prisoner—Sentiments of the People—Another Martyr fom Cuba. c HAVANA, Sept. 24, 1870. As in the case of Goicouria and of the brothers Aguero, another victim has been brought here to be choked to death on a scaffold for the delectation of the Spanish resdents and to the terror of al enemies to Spanish dominion in this Antiue, The victinf on Unis occasion is Don Luis Ayestardn, who recently left Nassau in the sloop Guananani for the Island of Cuba, carrying in the vessel a cargo of arms and munitions. As announced in a previous communication the sloop was captured near Key Romano on tie 14th, the people on board “making thelr escape. An active pursuit was started, and at midnight on the a despatch received from Caibarien announced capture of Ayestaran, and that he had been don beard the gunboat Ventinela for trans- portation to Havana, In the interior of the huge prison buliding—tne first object upon which the eye of the traveller rests ashe enters the harbor of Havana—is an apart- ment especially devoted to the garrote and the paraphernalia attached thereto. The in- strument Consists simply of an tron collar attached to a post and tightened by a screw through means of a powerful lever. Adjoining the place ts the ceil of the executioner, a small, compactly built, ae- moniac looking negro, whose life long since was for- feited, but which, in consideration of adopting his horribie calling, was preserved. His life is passea im company with the horrible instrument of death, to clean and take care of which is in pri- vate his only duty, In this he takes a hideous delight, and when ocasionally called from his cell for the ‘contemplation of a curious visitor he mechanically sets to work ruboing and polishing it. A close prisoner, he never sees the outside world, save woea in the’ perform. ance of his public duties.

The flagman waved bis lan- tern with more vehemence and determination, and With all hig might yeded to altract the attention of the engineer. But still the train came on at thirty- five miles aa hour, not even noticing the excited flagman’s last effort, which was made by hurling the lautern with ail his might at the engineer as the locomotive dashed past, But evidently the engineer saw none of the signals, for he kept on at full speed, and a minute later Was enveloped ip the WRECK OF TUB CIRCUS TRAIN, into thé rear of which he had dashed, Many of the passengers on the circus train, when they heard the approaching express, sprang from the Windows or rushed out of the cars. With great presence of mind the remainder crowded into the centre of the cars, and thereby saved their lives, for when the traing collided the usual “telescoping” fellowed, aud the ends of the cars were smashed. together. None of those who remained in the cars were hurt beyond A FEW SCRATCHES AND BRUISES, while the only injuries sustained by those who had jumped were a few bruises and. sprains mot serious enough to record. The manager, however, Mr. Harry M. Whitbeck, was iu- stantly killed. Hearing the approaching train he had endeavored to leave the car, aud had just reached the platform when the collision occurred. He was instantly mashed up with tie ends of the two cars. When found it was discovered that botn legs and both arms were broken, and, in fact, al- host Completely severed. Besides (us Uiere were other wounds upon his person that must have been suilicient to cause insiant death.
