Toreach a perfec’ understanding of the causes that led te the recent abrupt declination of General Banks te deliver his lecture on the Franco-Prussian question before the Bay State Lyceum, it must be remembered that that assoclationis an important adjunct to the prohibitory wing of the republican party, and as such directly and bitterly opposed to the candidates of that party, which, the prohibition- ists claim, has proved taise to thelr pet measure, and, consequentiy, thelr enemy, even to a greater degree, though more covertly, than their avowed and open opponents, the democrats. Tak- ing advantage of a bitter feud sup- posed to exist between General Banks, the representative of the Sixt Congessional cistrict, and Hon. Ginery Twichell, the representative of the Third d.sirict, in regard to the former’s action m defeating the copper tariff bill, In which the iatter’s persona! frends were vitally Interested, the Presi- dent of the Bay State society obtatned General Bauks’ promise to deliver a lecture in the advertised course at Music Hall, selecting as the subject that named above without the knowledge of the lecuurer, in his absence, being then m a disiant State, Upon bis return, not Sarg 4 the purpose of the tec- ture commiitee, General Ba aeqguiesced in the selection of a theme, and proceeded to prepare him- self for the occasion. The speaker and the theme of his discourse were dtly unnounced, and at once a republican breeze began to blow into the orator’s ears from the radical points of the polit pariy assalied and it was hard for the General to unader- stand for a time the drift of the seemingly concen- tated attack, Bat he was not kept im the dark | many days. In answer to the inquiries of a promi- nent republican the General had not a word to say in dejence of his proposed lecture further than a frank avowal of his purpose to take siaes with France in her struggle with Germany. The republi- can hinted that such a lecture wouid have a bad effect on the German vote in Mr. coming, as ib would, fr suggested the propriety ig deliver it ander the circ! : General Banks took in the situation so far as the party ta its rela- tions to Mr. Twichell was concerned, and at once consenied to wWithiraw, provided the assent of tie lecture Comrmitiee Was frst ob- tained to tie withdrawal, volunteering at the same time to subscribe 3200 towards Twichell’s election. The representative of the republicans, 80 far sat- isfied, sought an interview with the chairman of the lecture committee, Mr. J. A, Roberts, woo was tot to lose the lecture, he said, for pecuniary as well as political reasons, but would not be peremptory 10 the matte: pubneaa inglewan to Mr. Cushing, the protubitory candidate for Representauve in opposition to—reaily a dividing wedge between—Mr. fwichell and Mr. Guston, the democratic candidate, with a prospect of deteating Mr. Twichell, Tie fuglewan was recetved With great civility by the third party candidate, who listened to his query as to iis object in inciting Gen- eral Bauks to deliver suck a lecture on the eve of an important election, “Why, responced the candidate, “that is a part Surprised, but not baMed, the leman, after conversation oa a lew commonpi paiters, with- drew, and Fougiit a second interview with the chair. mau of the committee, who, alter being told the result of the interview with t Uurd candidate, ad- mitted that the object of the theme selected for Gea- eral Banks to speak upon was the deicat of Mr. Twichell. This was all the republican wauted. He immediately songut General Bauks, whom be found ompany With other politcal friends, His story Was told to them ts short metre, with no variations, and the dectsion was at once made for General Banks to decline, though no public announcement was to be made until the audience were in their tay ee ; politicians fave been placed im a similar posi- ion With the General in his tntercourse with Mr. | Pwichell they wouid have profited by the oppor- | tunity for paying of ol4 scores; but love for his party, in contradistinction to his tove of country, in- | pelled him to reserve ihe dart unintentionally {| aimed and leave the people to decide between re- publican, democrat or probibitionist for thelr suf frages. But rnmors prevail in influential quarters that the General’s preparation will not he lost upon the world. His views are to be ve i after election, and would have been ere this your city but for .the vigiiaueo of lis political friends, who of laie have had a watchful eye upon his movements, as though he needed a guar- dian angel to hover over his incomings and outgo- ings. His own district will soon require his undi- vided attention if all reports be true, a3 a prominent and popular young democrat has just been nomina- ted in opposition, Who is likely to reeetve, in addl- tion to ine regular vole of his party, the suffrages of @ secret couclave, ready to avail itself of any and | every opportunity tu defeat the powers that they as- sert and believe are corrupting tie morals and poll- tics of the country.

To TRE Epitor or THE HeRaLD:— In consequence of the dissatisfaction prevailing with members of the New York Yacht Club, as to the correctness of the rule uuder which the com- peting capacities of their yachts are computed, I have been asked by many of them to present the subject of measurement, or of capacity, ina shape to submit it to the consideration of the club; and I am also askea to give the elcments of other methods, coupled with my views, and any recommendati calculated to meet the conditions required which I may deem proper, bd . . * ‘a ‘The cause that renders any rule necessary arises | from the operation of tae physical law ‘that, cateris | paribus, large vessels have greater proportionate | stability, easter water Ines and less propordonate suriace of friction, aud by their greater (nertia are Jess disturbed by rough water than small vessel and hence all yacht cubs have adopted a system of measurement whereupon 13 based an allowance of time or disiance by tae larger vessel to the lesser one, * * * * * * * Stability in a vessel 13 the determining element of capacity to sustain salis—that is, her capacity to carry aud maintain her power of progression, A vessel which las @ suilicient de ree of stability from her dimensions witil sail faster than one which, in order to pear a like area of sail, requires to bo ballasted with greater weight, asshe wiil rotl easier; added to which one that has great proportionate beam and little depth has more stability than one that is narrow and deep (uniess a like de- gree of stability 1s attatned by ballasting), which in- curs an increase of displacement involving an increase of resistance, and, consequently, loss of power to meet Ib, ‘The cctual seability, in the case of individual yes: gis, depouds upoa Lie eXact posilioa of the cenin of gravity and displacement in cach case. By the Operation of these rules it appears that length (one of the elements m the rule uuder constleration) gives stabliity in homogencous floating bodies under Uke circumstauces in a direct ratio, and, 80 lar as it 1s avaiied of in the rule, its use is proper; aud that width of beam (ihe remaming Clement) becomes in its value a varlabie quantity, its Value bemg as its cube; bence, under the appdcation of the rule in force, an eleinent that shoud be cubed 1s applied in direct rai.o, while volifme of luli or weight, rela- tive immersion ana depth, are wholly 1gnored, It ts held by many tuat the proper basis of mea- surement is that of dispiacement, and by oluers Clas it is amidship section; both of these systems (ail to Meet the requirements of the case aud for the fol- lowing reasens:—Vessels of diferent dimensions, With varying staility, may have equal displacement or weigul, or like amidship sections, thus, a short vessel with a loug floor may have equal weight with @ long one, With great rise to ber Nuors; aud a vessel with great depth may have a like secon with one of greater beam aud less depth; and nence, tm neither of these conditions could they compete upon equal terms, a8 the one With ihe greater stability would be abie to bear sails in excess of the other. If an aliowauce of tue was given by one yacht to anotber, for tue purpose of putting them, when of aifferent constructions, capacities, lines, sails and tron, upon an equal sooting, and ‘t was esumated With exaciness, the competition between yachts in these points would be eliminated or negatived, and it ten Would be restricted to whe proficiency of the sailing master, pilot and crew; difference in models, lines, &c., as elements of competition, would po ignored, and yachts built alike to a bowl, or of the form and proportionate dimensions of a cigar, | would be placed upon the same footing as a yacht | having the most efficient model, &c., yet known to naval architecture.

A consideration of the elements of the subject presenis the following:— The existing rule of measurement of the club is at variance with the physical law contrviling the capacity of a vessel to bear sails, and insuilicient, as it does not embrace the elements of displacement, | or weight and aepth ef immersion. The other methods that have been adopted by yacht clubs, | and are yet in operation, are measuremweut by ton- nage und by area of sails. The first method, by tonnage, 1s fallacious, as the result of the computation to arrive at tonnage (as | operated) embraces beam and depth in direct , Tatlos, when the former has value as ils cube, and | the latter in an inverse ratio, and uses a standard coeficient a3 a divisor, without any reference to the modei of the yacht vo which it is applied. The latter method, by area of sails, so far as it 1s appited, is correet in its application, as tt requires of ‘one yacht to give time to another, in proportion to | the power of her sails; and as powerand Siabillty are ' convertibleterms the former becomes an exponent of the latter. The application of the rule, however, without being combined with the elements of either displacenient or weight, is tacomplete, although it is one well cajculsied to develop good modeis or ef- ficient hulis, a8 cach owner of a yacht, in essaying to attain the greatest eifect from a minimnar of sails, would be compelled to seek a model of least resist- | ance; but taken in combtnation with the elements given in the table and the ruie becomes complete in ail its bearings, as power would be proportioned to capacity io bear it, and then the physical elements would be eliminated trom the arbitrary, and perfect competition woud be the result. Asystem of measurement alike to the existing rule of tiie club adpiits of the very objectionable and ising abuse of an unlimited area of sails or er. ‘The question, hea, of the best model, rig, &c., i$ mMade secondary to the sioutest spars, the heaviest stays, a disregard of cousequences and the degree of pecuniary resources of the owner of a 1 ys it to supply spars, sails aud incur repairs, added io Which this practive is Calcuiated to deter many persons (reni entering the feld of competion irom an unwiilthgness or inability to Incur the expendl- ture rendered necessary to compete upon equal terms, it 13 generally, if not universally, held by our yacht owners that the limit of sails 18 the ability to bear them.

H. HASWELL, ART NOTES. Wood Engraving and Dranghismen§ in America. No particular branch has been a more eMcient handmaid to the great cause of modern Art than wood engraving. Often scorned and rarely appre- clated, she bas gone on in her silent mission fauith- fully and perseveringly. Somethihg of ita real worth and dignity haa been lost sight of in her me- nial character. It nas come so much 12 contact with the less cultured, and rendered Art so often In tts Jower phases, that something of contempt tf not of reproach, ciings to its garments. It is greatly to be regretted that it is so. There 1s, however, some reason for it, and it must be admitted as a fact. While it also must be admiited that in spirit and character at least, if not in originality, wo have several draughtsmen who will compare favorably with the best abroad, it 18 undeniable that these names shine only the brighter for @ surrounding darkness tt is painful to contemplate. We pass by, a3 compara- tively harmless, the servile imitators of foreign talent, who, in the privacy of the studios, bedeck themselves with borrowed plames and strut about in the audacity of thetrignorant conceit. Their silly pilferings are only as innocent as they are trans- parent and ludicrous, We need not speak of the rubbish which disiigures so many of our books and papers, a mere kaleidoscope of legs, arms and dra- pery, which eternally reappear in varying combina- tions, and even to the putting together of which the sterile imagination of the drawer is unequal, Nor need we speak of those miserable charlatans whose figures are the grossest caricatures, whose feeling is vulgarity or sensuality, and whose wit, aimless ana pointicss, is sinply coarse brutailty or ignoraut boorishness, ff All these we can pass by with a simple smile or sigh or sneer, There are others, however, even lower than these—works and workers—who not only offend bad taste, but sap at the very founda- tion of art and esthetics, who steal the guise of Art and use her for her own degradation, and whose dishonesty itself is lost im the abyss of thetr moral and artistic debasement, We have periodicals whose number ts excelled only by thelr utter worth. | lessness, and which encourage and minister to the lowest moral and artistic taste, We have draughts- men and designers who seem to be inspired by any and everything rather tham art, and whose mise- rable sketches combine the ignorance of the savage with the vice and corruption of the debauchee. ‘fo do more than to protest against their mere existence | erty | them they bad said as much a8 that she had stolen would be tu lend them a greater Importance tian they deserve outside of their devased and sorry Sphere. ‘Tuls, however, we do in the name ‘of decency and art. There is to this noble deparunent another side, to which we turn with pleasure and gramiude. it is the real position and mission of wood engraving. i From the standpoint of simple taste the useful always seems to hold a somewhat lower place thi the beautiful. in the regton of art none would place sign paluting and label priating on a level with what are called commonly works 0% art. ‘That they some- umes trench on exch other's ground few will deny. ‘Bul even theve Dumbler branches if we DiaY go dis he quotienc first obtained for the America Is | 325,404, which divided by 5,470, her area of sails, | jethe product by the quotient producing the , | Which renders wuem works of art in the mghest ecution, seuders if With Wouceriui trull aud spirit. rs ‘There is often a tendency owald vo sppreciation of Lie grovesyue, Wicd gives a plewoing wad original Mavor to Mis Works.

Every night during the week just closed a theatri- cal company, under the management of Messra.. Theodore Hamiton, Vining Bowers, L. R. Shewelk and others, and carrying the title of “Niblo’s Combi+ nation,” have been playing “Everybody’s Friend,” “Richelieu,” the ‘Lady of the Lake” and other Plays to thinly settled audiences at the Newars Opera House, itself one of the cosiest little Thespiam temples to be found anywhere outside ef tbe me- tropolis. For the last few evenings it was noticed tat the lady who on the opening night so cleverly enacted the part of Mrs. Major Wellington De Boots was minus her wonted dash and élan. Jt was supposed that the beggarly account of empty benches, both in the parquet and in the gallery, had considerable to do with not only her apparent mental depression, but that of others of the ‘com. bination.” Yesterday, however, the real cause of her 1033 of loveliness was divaiged in the Newark Poitce Court, To the presiding magistrate, Jastice: Dean, she stated that her name is Julia Biutone, of 21 Last Loustun sweet, corner of Urosoy, New Yorks that her husband is eagaged at Niblo’s theatre; | that while playing an engagement at the Newark Opera House, during ler wosence trom the buiidiny afier the periormanee, her Warurobe trunk Ww: broken open aad a very vaiuavie chene brocade dress, oi rare pattern, Worth at least oue hundred doilars, and Saeed other articles of dress and orna- meut carried off, exactly when or by whom could ouly as yeo be conjectured. Mrs. Brutone and her Rusbaud, who Was also in court, sald they cured ies® about the loss than vey did about a slur that hag: been thrown on tue fair reputation of the lady by the Managers and Mr. Kimball, the proprietor of the Opera House. When she made known her loss to the property herself, and that was an insinuation that no oue uare throw at her with impunity, The jami- tor, @ colored man, Who Was responsible for the Saiety of the property, when asked about the mat ter, wanifesied a strong dishke to be interrogated; he was “not g’wine Lo be quesiioned like a lawyer.’ He denounced all _knowiedge of ‘the roobery. The Magistraie took Mrs. Brutone’s statement, and she and her husband left court to tustitnte civil pro- cee ings tor indemnity irom the managers and Air. Kimball. It is ta be hoped that her desires 10 legul respects wilt be responded to with half as mUuee colerity as ber orders to tue “abalone?
