Lona BRANO, June 17, 1371, Notwithstanding the cool weather and fresh though fragrant breezes, the invasion of the fashiona- ble hascommenced. Thejshore is alive with the creme de la oreme of New York, Philadelphia, Washington nd Baltimore, while the lights of interior towns shine upon us from every direction, ‘The season has commenced in earnest, and there is every indication thatit will be a most pleasant and prosperous one— Pleasant to those who long for the stimulants of wind and wave, and profitable to everyboay who has anything tosell, let cr hire. Every train brings ita quota of visitors, many of them distinguished, and More who desire the distinction a season at the Branch can bestow. Last evening the snore road was alive with elegant equipages ; fast horses hi- hied to speeding power, and to basket wagous laden ‘With the FAIREST FLOWERS OF GOTHAM ponies sped ther best. The great tumult was on the arrival of the ‘last train, and the scene was then mostenlivening, But perhaps the most lively, and certainly the most unexpected, ‘Visitors of the day were actons of the first famiies of bluefish, who, desiring a deseuner a la grab, came tambling in early on the beach 1m hot pursult of terrified millions of plebelan herring and com- Munistlo sprat, They first distinguished themselves infront of the West End Hotel, but as—owing possibly to an obliquity of viston—they could nut flistinguish the dlfference between a long piece of Jead with @ hook at its tail and a wretched fish Fanning for its life, several hundred of them were compelled to give up the ghost on the hot sand, Some HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF BLUEFISH rushed in toward the shore pell-mell, and the people who assembied on the strand grew tired of throwing out their lines and hauling them out of the break- ers, Master Jesse Grant went early to work at ‘them, urged on by old Mr. Dent, who stood on the blutr before the President's cottage. He caught ff. teen fish, weighing 130 pounds. Mr. George Sykes, Colonel Cornwall and myself hauled out enough to stock the tables of the hotel where Iam for at least @ week. Further down toward the depot others Were equally successful. “Governor” Morris, of the Pavilion, secured several baskets full; and of course the fishermen reaped a profitable harvest. ‘To-d: hen eng Lge ; gre ioonoprenireres pea ant r of peo ue Collector hy; jeneral Porter “Mr. Fred Grant—wio arrived yes. rday—Colo..el Cornwall and most of the malo ests of the hotels are Out with hook and line, wait- ig for them to come in.

Mr. James Ashbury and the New York Yacht Club. Telegraphic Correspondence Relative to the Proposed 2ace3 With the Livo- nia for the Queen's Cup. So much has been sald relative to the new yacht Livonia, and what her owner, Mr. James Ashoury, intends doing with her this season to endeavor once more to recover the America’s Cup, that we deem it best to publish the entire telegraphic correspondence that has passed between him and the New York Yacht Clup on the subject. It will be seen that Mr. Ashbury is striying to carry out all the promises and threats made in his. after-dinner speeches, which have been extensively published, and that he ig leaving no stono unturned to accomplish the darling wish of his heart—that of carrying back to England the cup won by the America in 1851, or, a3 it is better knowa, the Queen’s Cup. It was after the publication of the letter of Mr. Schuyler, in which he stated that it was the inten- -tion of the donor to nave the cup sailed for by yacht against yacht, and not the chalienging yacht against the feet, that the New York Yacht Club agreed thereto and directed its secreiary to notify all form eign yacnt clubs thereof. Upon this nottfication reaching Mr. Ashbury he sent the following ae- spaich, containing his challenge, and asking that the 41x months’ notice be waive: Loxpon, May 27, 1871. a ater JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Jt, New ork: The question of your champion vessel being. set- Wed, I now propoce giving the s lated six montis’ notice, 1f the club waives this cond.tion the Livonla, will start for New York in September. Commodore ASHBURY, ‘The message not belng properly uaderstood, de- Spatch No. 2 was sent, which brought the reply No. 8, and then he was notified in despatch No, 4 that a meeting of the club would be called for the purpose of considering his proposition, and he was asked in what monib he proposed a race. Despatch No, 518 Qn answer thereto and names October as the month he selects. Tne following are the messages in or- der: Noe ew York, May 30, 1871.

Lonpon, June 1, 1871, To Commodore BENNETT, New York:— Propose racing for the Gup in October, as the Livonia will leave the tirst week in September, ASHBURY. At a special meeting of the New York Yacht Clab, held June 6, 1871, the following preamble and reso- lutions were unanimously adoptea:— Whereas a notice dated May 27, from Mr. Ash- bury, Commodore of the Roya Harwich Yacht Club, has been duly received, stating his desire to sail for the America’s Cup and requesting that the required six months’ notice be waived in this case for him; it 13, therefore, Resolved, ‘That the New. York Yacht Club will cheerfully consent to waive the six months’ notice for him as tho representative of the Royal Harwich Yacht Club, and that the Commodore of the New York Yacht Ulub be requested to answer the més- sage from Mr. Ashbury by cable telegrapn, and that the Secretary of the New York Yacht Club be re quested to forward to Mr. Ashbury by mail @ copy or that answer with a copy of the above resolution. The following isthe message of the Commodore of the New York Yacht Club:— No. 6. New York, Juno 6, 1871. To JAMES Asnsury, Esq., Commodore Royal Har- wich Yacht Club, London:— The New York Yacht Club consents to walve the six months’ notice, and accepts your a to race for the America’s Cup next October. Name day in October you desire to race and answer imme- diateiy. JAMES GORDON BENNETT, Jr., Commodore New York Yacht Club, To this comes, in despatch No. 7, a reply, in which no day in October is appointed, as had been re- quested, and the messaze goes on to say that cer:if- cates will soon be sent from all the cluys he will represent for the Livonla’s matciies, to take place some time in October, No. 7. Lonxnon, June 14, 1971, To Commodore BENNETT, New York Yacht Club, New York:— The stipulated notice having been waived, the several clubs will shortly send you necessary certifl- cates for the Livonia’s matches some time in Octo- ber. ASHBURY, From this it is very evident that Mr. Ashbury expects to carry out his programme as announced attne recent dinuerof the Royal tarwich Yacht Ctub—that of coming to New York as the répresen- tative of eight English yacht clubs, so that he would have eight chances of carrying off the Cup; or, in other words, if he is defeated in race No, 1, he will at once try No. 2, and so on through the entire num- ber, hoping that some accident, if not speed, will give him at least one out of the eight races, Hein- terprets the waiving of the six months’ notice for the first race as waiving tin all case3, forgetting that no acceptance of challenge No. 2, or no action whatever regarding any other raco, can be taken until the first is decided. It remains to be seen what further action he proposes to take in the premises, YACHTING PRIZ&3, The Clud and Commodore’s Prizes for the New York Yacht Club—Splendid Specimens of American Art. There is a spirit, an ¢’an, a sense of something breezy and dashing and blithe inthe very word “yacht.” The word ‘‘ship” is siso full of associa- tions that it bas been gathering since the days of Jason, But there 18 @ difference. A ship has steadiness, serenity; and though there is mach romance there is as weil some- thing of use, of burden bearing. A yacht ig joyous, capricious, untamable—subject only to the hand that 1s at once both strong and tender. A yacht has something of the quality of a thorough- bred woman, and cannot be managed by a coward, Who ever would be complete master of the white- winged fluttering thing must have a firm hand and @ daring, enthusiastic heart. Standing in Tiffany's, before the yacht prizes, one’s thouglits naturally go out to sea, on a race with the SLENDER KEELS AND THE STRAINED CANVAS, and tne eager yachters that won the beautifal prizes, Even the ornamentation of each piece sug- gests salt waves and tossing spray and all the vague, subtle romance of the sea. Neptune, with the wind in his wild locks; Amphitrite leading her flerce sea horses, dolphins and mermaids; or, leay- ing imagination for reality, rollicking sailors, work ing or lounging; anchors and coils of rope, and cap- stans and buoys, or bas reliefs of the open ocean, with full m@ged yachts under full sail. Leaving preliminaries, What are these FASCINATING PIECRS OF SILVERWORK that art has modelled and skilful labor has executed for prizes in the New York Yacht Club? First, there are the Commodore’s beautiful challenge cups for sloops and schvonets, to be presented to ine club.

The handles are sup. ported by dolphins’ heads, and the whole piece is surmounted with a figure of Amphitrite leading two sea horses. This cup matches the other for grace of ee. ‘and delicacy of finish. It is valued at $1,000, uddition to these prizes there are FAVE PIECES PRESENTED BY THR CLUB. ‘The first of these, a tankard tn satin finish, 18 orna- mented with a wreath of oak leaves and acorns and afoul anchor and a coil of rope.

Two medals are shown in model that are to be pre- sented with the Commodore's chailenge cups. ‘The one with the cup for schooners bears on the obverse side Minerva teaching Jason the use of the satl, with the motto trom Horace:— “He has carried every poiut who has blended the useful with the agreeable.” The reverse is to be inscribed with the winner's nane. ‘Fhe Medal for sloops bears on the obverse a yacht under sull sail, with the motto, from Longfellow, “Only those who brave is dangers comprehend its mysteries.”?

Before Judge Barnard, Teresa Viele vs, Egdert L.

On the close of argument on that day Judge Barnard touk the papers ana reserved decision, which he rendered yesterday in su'ysiance as follows:— DECISION, This ts a petition by @ writ of habens corpus, by which the petitioner seeks to recover the possession of her two youngest children, one flve and the other seven years of age. ‘The respondent, in answer to the writ, says that the petiuoner is au improper per- gon to have vhe care and custody of the children, In this case, Where there are five children, one of them grown up to womanhood, I should hesitate @ long while betore I weuld #ud the petitioner guilt; of adultery, except upon the clearest and most posl- tive evidence. I au unavie, however, to find any- thing in the evidence subiniited to me that will 1x the charge of adultery upon the petitioner, A vast amount of testimony has been takea tn the matter by both parties, that, in my jadgment, has no bearing whatever upon the charges, I tind nothing of a rellable character that shows that the etitioner is other than a kind, virtuous and affec- ionate mother. Ideem it proper aiso to state that the charges made against the respondent of com- mitting adultery with the lady named is wholiy une founded, unjust and wicked. If parties will have divoice suits they sould contine their assaults upon the character of each other, and not go out of their way to bring In an innocent party, aud that a lady, for the purpose of infamously biackening her ¢hgte ter. I direct the order to be entered to give the care and cusvody of the two youngest children to the petitioner, If at any timo hereafter the children shall voluntarily degire to live with tueir father they are at liberty to do #0, ‘See memoranda —Order granted, e Viele Uhile Kemirks of Decisions.
