ne EEE OOO ee EEIIET TIEEEIEIEEEEEe THE HARLEM NAVY. New York’s Natural Advan- tages for Rowing. The Various Boat Clubs on the Harlem River—The Harlem Regatta— Prospects for the Season, Just in proportion as the traveller upon the sea has been accredited with greater courage and more varied experience than he who traverses whole continents of terra firma, so aquatic sportsmen have always been invested with more general in- terest than those who tread the ball or cricket fields. It is probable that should the navigation of the air—a darling scheme to the mind of mansince the age of Dedalus—become a matter of fact in- stead ef theory the charm of the sea would soon @isappear. To-day yachting has become the great Summer pastime, and it is so only because it com- bines at,once the most aristocratic leisure with just enough danger and variety to make it charming. ROWING AS A NATIONAL SPORT. Scarcely inferior as a national sport and as a means of developing a hardy race of American citizens is the exhilarating and time-honored amusement of rowing. From among the general wreck of everything which in the days of antiquity tended to ennoble and invigorate the mortal frame without making it depraved have alone remained, ‘as having any degree of attraction for young men of the present day, the sports on the water. Res- eued to us, in all probability, by the energy and persistence with which our English cousins have kept the sport alive from year to year, young America now bids fair to become imbued with the game national xpirit. Each year witnesses the fermation of new clubs and the growth of old ones, Fach summer season records a material advance- ment in the style and finish of the American oars- Wan. THE NEW YORE ROWING CLUBS, New York has net been behind other cities in the encouragecient which has been given in this country.to rewing. Several large and prosperous boat clubs have long existed, and have numbered mong their membership sonic of New York’s best gons, Untik within @ very short time the Hudson and Eagt Rivers wore the scenes of all the regattas, and along these banks the boat houses of all the clubs were located. But as a rule the waters of the North River were too rough for shell boats, and the East River was so full o/ tugboats and steamers as to render rowing unsate. As a consequence the rowing interests have gravitated towar THE WARLEM RIVER, and it is not improbanle that within o few years all the boat-houses will haye becn moved to that locality, The Harlem River is peculiarly adapted for rowing. lt is sufficiently wide to start any reasonable number ef boats, and over the usual course, from the railroad bridge to High Bridge, is straighter than half the rivers over which match races are rowed. Its waters are not troubled by many steamers, and, save the tide— which inthe eastern-end of the river is never ver; strong—there ig no current to be encountered, The river is free from obstructions below McComb's Dam, and the bridges over the river at several oints afford excellent opportunity for several \ousand spectators to see the regattas, CANOEING ON THE HARLEM, A new boating interest is gradually developing on the Harlem, and, under the guardianship of the various rowing ¢lubs, canoeing is likely to become even more poputar than the Canoe Club seems to make it. Several of the clubs hope, before the seagon is over, to number among their list of crafts both Baden Powell and Rob oy canoes. The Nautilus Club already has in its boat house the canoe Dolly Varden, the narrative of whose cruise among the headwaters of the Mississippi was pub- lished Jast year in the Heratp. The course for canoe Cruises is out through the channel between Randall's Island and the mainland, and up the Sound, either to Flushing or to Fort schuyler. THE BOAT HOUSES ON THE HARLEM are approached from the foot of 130th and 138d streets, and are go situated as te give a clear wateriront to all. The new structure of the Gra- mercy Club is not surpassed by anything of the kind around New York. ‘ibe Nassau Ciub bas three houses and they are all filled. The Athletic Club has erected a large house on the waterfront of their grounds, and, with the exception of the Gramercy, ibey have, perhaps, the best quarters on the river. Their house is rather more accessible than the others further up the river. The Nautilus, Daunticas,Columbia College and Sappho Ciubs are all very comfortably located and their members are all enthusiastic on the subject of rowing. THE COMING REGATTA on the 18th of June is anxiously anticipated by all the clubs. The programme, now in the hands of a Tegatta committee, has not fully been determined upon ag yet; but it is certain that there will be a race for four-oared crews, for single sculls and for pair-oar boats. Ithas been suggested and is very robable that a canoe race, after the English fash. on, Will be added to the list. ‘the method adopted in such a race is to have a three mile course, in the middie of which-@ landing is to be made, and a carry-over ef about one hundred and filty feet made, after which the boat is to be again launched and the course completed. The river is too narrow for a sailing race only under the most favorable circumstances, THE COURSE FOR THE REGATTA will in all probability be from a stakeboat near the railroad bridge, ome and a quarter miles up tie river toward High Bridge. The English pian of running in heats will be adopted. The straight- away ‘course selected by several of the clubs stretches from the railroad bridge to Morris’ dock, h Bridge; distance three miles. The Bil I get the diamond sculls will have Many Competitors, : ‘The Columbia College six-oared crew are being trained by Henry Ward for the Tntey Hollegiate Regatta gt springfield, ‘They are a strong set of men, and their trainer claims for them good muscle and endurance, which will show up to ad- ‘vantage when they enter the flnal contest.

THE SUPPLY BILL. Card from Mr. O’Donnell, To THE EpiTor ov THE HERALD:— The unusual circumstance of the Annual Supply bill, which in the aggregate appropriates millions of dollars from the public treasury, being allowed to remain in the custody of an officer of the Assem- bly for twelve days unsigned by the presiding om. cer, without whose certificate of its passage it would {ail to become a law, with the comments of the pressthereon, will justify me in this communi- cation. The bill being properly engrossed I declined to send it to New York to obtain the presiding officer's signature, for the reason that I was un- willing to trust so important a bill out of my cus- tody at Albany. Some days after, in reply to a tele- gram, I also declined to print the bill to send tothe duetorpnt, Members of the conference committees, they having left for their respective Fone for the reason that [ had no authority either to print or to send out a bili without the signature of the roper authorities which would make it a jaw. Nor had any members of the committees or any other person any authority to change or alter in any manner the bill as it passed, either to correct their own errors or of any other ersons, even if such errors were to be ‘ound, "The assumption of such a power, and its exercise aiter the functions of the Legis- lature had expired, would be very dangerous, and a clear violation of the fundamental law. If errors are made at the Clerk’s desk In engrossing a bili after a report irom a confer- ence committee to the House they are easily detected, The report of the committee is always in writing, and is transcribed upon the journal. The original report goes wrth the bill first to the Speaker, and then to the Gov- ernor. The Speaker may compare the bill with the written report of the Conference Committee, before being signed, if he deems it necessary. The Gov- ernor is supposed in important bills to performa similar duty, If the bill agrees with the written Teport no person can change it. ‘The acceptance of the report by the Legislature, being a legislative act, no power can change or alter it but the Legislature. The duty of the Clerk was to see the bill correctly engrossed at once, ready for the signature of the Speaker. The duty was faith- fully pertormed. The bill has become a law by the signature of the oMcers of both houses, and has been approved by the Governor. In the interest of good government, and for the reputation of allwho may be interested, U trust that hereaiter no biM of such vast importance will be permitted, under any pretence, to remain in the custody of any person alter the Legis- lature las adjourned, except the Governor of the State. If for any cause a bill may be kept in the possession of an_ officer of the Legislature for twelve days, it may be kept for an indefinite time. The opportunity thus given to fraudulently change the bill and accom- panying message, so as to make both agree, ought not to be allowed under any circumstances. The fact that this billhas been Kept locked upin the Assembly safe, and has not been tampered with, gives no assurance for the future. ‘The confidence Teposed by the people in the interrity of the om- cers of the last Assembly ought not to be used to establish a dangerous precedent. Every bill which passes the Legislature should be carried to the Ex- ecutive chamber with the icast pesaibie delay. . O'DONNELL, ALBANY, Saturday, June 14, 1873, ST, The jury in the case of Ditmars vs, Debevoise, which was a suit tried in the Supreme Court, Brooklyn, to decide which of these gentlemen was elected to the office of Mayor of Long Island City, appeared in court yesterday morning and an- nounced that there was no possibility of their agreeing upon a verdict. They had been locked up over night, and Judge Kamsey, being satisfied that there was no use of keeping them together an; longer, discharged them, Itis understood they sto ten to two in favor of defendant. This trial occupied nearly @ fortnight, but it excited very little in- terest. Mr. Debevoise is now acting a8 Mayor of Lil! Isiand City, having received the certificate of election. - DEATH OF A WILLIAMSBURG MILLIONNAIRE, Mr. James M.

Preparations for the Contests of This Season Between Sandy Hook and Bren- ton’s Reef, * Two years ago the Commodore of the New York Yacht Club presented a challenge cup to the Club, to be sailed for by yachts belonging to all rec- ognized yacht clube, The course was from Sandy Hook Lightship to and around the lightship off New- port (Brenton’s Reef) and back to the starting point, passing outside of Long Island. Yachts were allowed the privilege of going either side of Block Island. Owing to the lateness of the season there was no race sailed in 1871; and atter postponing the event irom July 16, 167% the Madeleine and Rambler started on July 25 of the same year, and the latter won easily, as the former did not sail over the course, Asecond match was sailed later in the season, and also won by the Rambler, whose owner has since returned the cup to the Club, in accordance with the views of the donor, as herein stated, First.—It is to be held by the winner for thirty days atter the race without liability to challenge. Second.—Upon the expiration of that period the ‘Winner must accept any challenge and be prepared to sail a race over the same course within fifteen days from the receipt 01 such challenge, or forfeit the cup to the challenger; but shoulu any yacht succeed in holding the cup in two consecutive races during one season it will not again be liable to challenge until the commencement of the yachting season of the sollawing year. Third.—The yachting scagon in American waters, in reference to this cup, is understood to be from the third Thursday in June until thé third Thurs- by in October in each on ‘ourtt.—Should a yacht holding this cup be sold out of the New York Yacht Ciub the cup shall not go with her, but shail be returned to the Ciub, to be again sailed for; and ifthe cup should be held ns a foreign yachtand she should be sold out of the club to which she belongs the cup shall not be sold with her, but shalt be returned to the New York Yacut Club, to be sailed for again as above provided, Fifth.—In the event of the cup being held at the close of the season by @ foreign yacht the owner thereof will be liable to challenge during the season of the next year for an ocean race, over @ course from the Needles, Isle of Wight, to and around a stakeboat off tue harbour of Cherbourg, and return, The Regatta Committee have valled a meeting of all yacht owners belonging to any organized yacht club, to be held on Tuesday afternoon, at three o'clock, in the office of Mr. William Krebs, Sr., 52 Wall street. Yacht owners are especially invited to be present, as it is the intention of the commit- tee to appoint a day and make’ other arrange- ments {or the sailing of the above race. The com- mittee are anxious to hear the opinions of yacht owners a8 to a suitable day when the largest entry can be obtained. THE WILLIAMSBURG YACHT CLUB. Sunday excursions, asa class, do not meet with general approbation; but when these excursion are indulged in by hardworking men, whose only opportunity of having a litile pleasure is on the Sabbath, the public are more induigent. Such an excursion took place yesterday. It was the “second annual cruise and chowder of the Wil- Nameburg Yacht Club.” This club was organized in 1870, and is composed entirely of workingmen There were only about twelve members when the ciub was started; but it has grown rapidly since, there being at present thirty-five, The feet con- sists of Aftcep boats, ranging from seventeen feet to forty feet in length, comprising cabin and open boats, The officers of the club are:—Commodore, William H. Kexter; Vice Commodore, James Clit ford; Secretary, C. EB. Mielke; Treasurer, Charles Lohman; Measurer, James Conway. The yachts started from their anchorage, foot of Fagle street, Green Point, at 10 A, M, First to get under way was the large working schooner Edwin Collyer, owned by Captain Sampson, with the Members and guests of the club on board, The jib and mainsail boat Pireon started next; then the cabla sloop yacht Michaet Connoway, ana at the same time the cabin sloop yacht sorceress the winner of the first prize last year; then the jib and mainsail boat Rodgers, and bringing up in the rear was the cabin sloop yacht Jennet, with the music aboard. THERE WAS LITTLE WIND AT THE START, but it was enough to give the boats a chance for a “brush” on the way to their destination, Riker’s Island, The Michael Conuoway, wishing to get the best of her adversary, the Sorceress, ran to the westward of Blackwell’s Island, but Sorceress kept gaining steadily as the wind freshened, and when they met at Hell! Gate was some distance ahead. She led the fleet until they reached Riker's Island at eleven A, M:, where the yachts anchored, and the party of about two hundred went ashore. Preparations were made to cook the chowder, and ere Jong the fire was blazing uncer the pot. hile the cooking was going on some of those not en- gaged init amused themselves by strolling over the isiand, others by swimming, and a chosen few started for a sail towards the Sound in the yachts Sorceress and Pigeon. By the time the satling party returned the chowder was ready, and soon all were busy devouring it, and consuming the contents of six kegs of lager placed along the rocks at convenient distance for the benefit of all con- cerned, Ashort time elapsed before the contents of the chowder pot and of the lager beer kegs had disappeared, and notwithstanding the fuct that IXTY BUSHELS OF CLAMS, two barrels of potatoes, two barrels of hard tack, with pork and other Ue ages] in proportion had beed used in making the chowder, yet it was so good that when it was ali gone the party wished for more, After embarking, the yachts and schooner startea at three P. M. for home, where they arrived about half-past four P, M., all Iceling well contented with the day’s sport. ‘The annual regatta of this club will take place on the loth of July. The course will be from the club house, foot of Eagle street, around Throgg’s Point buoy and back, THE BROOKLYN YACHT OLUB, The judges of the Brooklyn Yacht Club regatta appear to have got rather mixed in their decisions, ag they have now reversed their last order and awarded the Madeleine and Fleur de Lis the schooner prizes and the Vision and Undine the first class sloop prizes. On Thursday evening they de- cided that there was no prize awarded in the schooners and first class sloops, as no boat in either of those classes had made the race within eight hours. This decision was made in the face of the printed regulations governing the race, where one clause gives to understand that the race would be valid for all classes, provided any boat of any class made the race within the required eignt hours’ time. ‘The judges, however, saw the injus- tice of such a regulation, and, hanting through the Club book, discovered the Oe a 9, paragraph 14.—Nor shall aprize be due to any class except the distance shall have been performed by the winning boat of tts class in eight hours. Ifnot performed in that time by the winning boat of any class the regatta shall be repeated at a time to be appointed by the Regatta Committee.” The lan- guage in the above aud its drift were too plain and comprehensive to be misunderstood, and 80 the bie ruled accordingly. Since then the judges ave learned that the Cinb had suspended the above rule, and therefore they immediately awarded the prizes to the winning schooners and first class sloops. It is not expected, however, that,the owners of either of the winning yachts will hold the prizes so won, as the race was alinpiy adrift, but they will probably give them back to the Club and the race will be satled over again.

Mr. Munguldass Nathoobhoy. The compound: was decorated to a certain extent, and in a corner we noticed @ transparency, which was doubtless in- tended to represent the hero of the hour. The drawing room was completely filled with people. His Excellency took a chair at one end of the room, and the principal visitors were accommo- dated near him in a position eonventent for hearing. Among the native gentlemen present were Kur- gondass Nensee, Narronjee Damodhur, Jeyram Sewjce, Ebramjee Sewjee, Gopall Mowjce, Raywa- gur Rowjee, Anundjee Visram, Jeyram Gondjec, Veerjee Damodhur, Tarrya Topun, Jairazbloy Peer- bhoy, Currimbhoy Soorjee, Luckmidass Khimjee, Dwarkadass Vussenjee, Khutao Mukhoond, Ma- thooradass Khetsey, Moolje Thackersee, &c. It is probable that Mr. Munguldass purposely inyited the principal members of the Bhattia, Khoja and Bania community, as it 1s people belonging to to these classes who are chiefly interested in the slave trade. Shortly before six His Excellency Sir Bartle Frere rose and said:—Mr, Munguldass Nathoobhoy and gentlemen—I have been asked to say a fe words on the present occasion, and I very gladly avail myself of the 9) portunity. Ibelieve I wis sent with this expedition mainly because I was for many years connected with Bombay. In telling ou abything about what we have been doing dur- ing the last {few months, of course you cannot expect me te enter into particulars about the instructions which I received from the home government or even into # rrrbdeilicgy about the negotiations which the expedition have carried out. All this will be made public in due time, and I trust it will be found to be satisfactory. I shail merely mention a few of the matters which struck me most as having a connection with the interests of some of the natives in this part of India. In the first lace, I was not prepared to find the whole coast of trica entirely occupted, so far as trade is con- cerned, by Indian merchants, I believe that if you wished to get information on the former state of commercial affairs on the East coast, as compared with the present, you could not do better than read some of the accounts of what the old Portu- guese found when they went there, They tellns that they foand the whole ot the trade and the greater pare ef the udministration of the country in the ands of Moors, although from the description of their numbers and the way in which they managed their own commercial affairs and the aflitirs of the States into which the country was divided, they appear to be precisely what we all know as the eee Mahommedan trading classes of this country. ‘hese Portuguese descripe all the ditferent classes which we now fludon the East coast, and it ma: be as much news to oo as it was to me that of ail the trading classes there the principal part of the trade was in the hands of three or four of the castes witch I now see represented before me. First of all in Influence, if not in numbers, there was a large conimunity of Bhattias, and next a tew Banians and Lohannas, who may be said to represent the Hindoo trading classes of this great city. Some classes of natives of India are con- spicuous by their total absence—Brahmins, for instance, Chutryas, Bengalee Baboos, the Shettias of Madras and Marwarees. I found these three great Mahommedan classes to be the Most numerous in the trade—Khojas, Borahs, and Memons—but of these the most numerous were the Khojas. It was a surprise to me that from almost opposite Socotra down nearly to the Cape Colony, and along the Madagascar coast, the whole trade seemed, within the last forty or fifty years, to have passed into the hands of natives of India. | You will recollect that the Portuguese almost entirely extin- ‘uished the Indian trade on the East coast where ‘indians had almost ceased to be represented ex- cepting by atew who went from Kurrache: vie, and ‘some of the Kaitywar ports, and as I have said for the last half century, the natives of India have monopolized the East African trade to such an extent that I do not think it would be possible now to distribute or collect @ Cargo upon the African coast, excepting through the aroe of some of your countrymen, Ifound that whereVer I went, not only to the larger ports but also in the smailler villuged, where there were only one or (wo ships, the shipper was almost certain tobe an Indian. These merchants might have been Khojas or Borahs, and there | used to find them exactly as you pores see thei in shops in some of the outlying villages on the Guzerat frontier, wnere. they sit dispensing their wares among tie Bheels or the coolies surrounding them, Ihave mixed among these merchants, and so far as I did so I sound that they all tuikea either Guzerati or Hindostani. All this to me was quite anovelty. Iknew that there was alarge and in- creasing commerce, but I repeat that to me the extent to which India had monopolized the ast African traffic was quite @ novelty. I found that concurrent with this growth of Indian interests on the African coast this slave trade grew up which was the immediate object of my mission—a slave trade which is now so extensively carried on that thirty or more thousand human beings are, 1 believe, exported every year from Africa. Tthougnt at first that this great trade must necessarily be an old evil; but we were told that it was an evil which had always existed, and no doubt a smail trade did exist there some time ago. The reason may be this, Betore Indian mercvants went back to the East African coast to resame a trade which they had lost for the last 200 years, probably since the Mogul Empire began to decay, a great piratical flela had sprung up, and the seas used to be swept by Foon A we) many of these pirates were, I am afraid, of Européan descent, but they were chiefly Arabs. These pirates were suflicient to prevent the slave trade being carried on in its present state, because, as you may easily imagine, no ship filled with slaves could make any resistance against a well armed pirate. It happened that two ay occurred withiu the last fifty years. There had been ageneral resumption of the old trade py Indjan merchants, and accompanying it there ha been a general growth of the slave trade. Ido not wish you to suppose that these two things were connected in the way of cause and effect, because 1 must say of Indian merchants that as to their direct connection with the slave trade, I have found very little to their preju- dice, and, indeed, all the great merchants are free from connection with the slave trade, although, by the possession of capital, which might be exchanged for human beings, they may have had an indirect connection, That was the siate of things as we found it, and upon the subject of the slave trade I need not say more than what you know already. You are aware of the feeling on the subject in Eng- land, and I believe in India generally, that this trade must be stopped. Ihave no doubt it will be stopped very speedily, because things at both ends of Africa have changed greatly of late, All the civilized countries in tie world, who used to be customers for slaves, have now given the ren up. In another three years there will ve @ legal end put by government to the slave trade in the Portuguese colonies, where that trade used to be general, ‘nen the government of Madagascar is favorable, and | may say that this strack me as one of the most favorable symp- toms of improvement in that country, The gov- ernment of Madagascar is composed entirely of natives, and yet they have set tucir faces against slavery, and declared that it shall not exist in their country. At one of the ports in Madagascar we found an Arab nacoda in prison for a year for carrying On the slave trade. The King of the Jo- hannas told us that his island should not be a place for harboring slaves, and that ali people brought to his territories as siaves should be set free. On the Arabian coast I found there was the same dis- pcan with reference to slaves who might be rought to those lands that are under the political rule of Colonel Peily, All the people in these piaces told us they wouid get their jaces against slavery. Therefore, I have no doubt that slavery, upon its present scale, will cease shortly, At the same time there will remain for many years to come @ desire on the part of certain peopie to make money by trafficking in human flesh, and the attempt to do #o will be made in spite of all we ay do to prevent it. It is in this respect that 1 thin the gentlemen at present here, who are connected either as caste fellows or as countrymen wita the merchants of East Africa, or at ail events those who hold the purse-strings, may do a deal of good work to assist the English government. If you inform your minds upon this subsgct and read what is bow on record in print regarding the slave trade, and set your faces against the trafic in the ‘Way that you would deal with any other great evil that comes you or with any general impedi- ment to civilization, you will act directly upon Var countrymen who are carrying, on this trade. ‘ou mi able to create a public opinion on the subject which would greatly assist the public opinion of England, Ibetieve that in a few years yOu could make tt @ disgrace jor abybody himself a Hindoo or a Mohammedan merchant to be even suspected of having anything to do with this trade. 1 wish that those among you who have leisure and power to lead the opinion of your coun- trymen would come forward to assist that ctvili- sation witeheingiend is bent upon introducing in Alrles, The Work will have its material as well a8 its moral reward, ‘The east coast of Africa is really magnificent. It 4s quite ag fine naturally as your own Malabar coast, abounding in good harbors and facilities for trade beyond anything I have ever seen. Hitherto the trade of this eoast has been a sort of monopoly in the hands of people who in their way are ex- tremely intelligent, because they have seen a good deal of the world and rubbed of a good many Prejudices, Upon the whole they are more active men than their fellow countrymen hei and I mced not say that that is saying a great d for any inerchant. I wish there Were more classes of people engaged in the trade, because I believe one of the chiel causes of our prosperliy has been the great mixture of races in India, y may say that | did not see a single Parsee from one end of Africa to the other, excepting in Mozambique, and 1 wish Parsees were more numerous. I have’ said that the present monepolizers of the grade are energetic men, but what they chiefly require fs a Nttle of modern educatien and civilization—cer- tainly they ought to get some of the learning of the West. In the diffusion of this kind of knowl- edge many of you here might do much good, Many of these merchants can. read Guzerathee If they can read nothing else, and I wish that some of the Guzerathee-speaking gentlemen, are educated, would write information for those people in that language. yy this means the reatest good could be accomplished. ‘There is now direct communication by steamer from Aden, and I hope there will soon be the same from Bombay and Arabia, 80 that it will no longer be so dimicult to communicate with these people that they 1nust wait for about seven months before thoy can communicate with Europe. I foresee the time that there will be greater communication between this penn kt and tae east coast of Africa, and I look upon it as a certainty that you will be able in one way or another, directly or indirectly, to doa great deal in making Airica as free from the curse of slavery as India now is, Let me assnre you, in conclusion, that what you have heard of the horrors of the slave trade is in no way exag- gerated. We have seen so much of the horrors which were going on that we can have po doubt that what you read in books, which are so often spoken of a8 eontaming exaggerations, is exag- gerated in no respect. The evi 18 much greater than anything you can conceives Among the poorer class of Africans there is nothing like se- curity irém fathers and mothers being put to death in order that their children may be captured, and I may say that every'tenth person captured dies after his seizure, 1 cannot lose this opportunity of telling you what really very much concerns you— first of all, that you have indirectly a great deal to do with the maintenance of the present state of things; that it is greatly in your po to stop the trafic, and that the suppression of such an evil is one as worthy of you as of the combination of all civilized nations. I hope to hear that my old friends tn Bombay will do their part well, and fam sure thataf the matter is once placed before them in its true light they will not be behind In thetr duty, Ithank you all for the patience with which you have listened to me, and! hope that those of ou who understand English will expiain what T have said to those who do not. (Loud applause.) ‘The Hon, Munguldass Nathoobhoy said:—Gen- tlemen—I think you all agree with me that our warmest thanks are due to Sir Bartle Frere for the very interesting and important information which he has so kindly given us. I have no doubt that all my countrymen who have anything to do, etther directly or indirectly, with the slave trade in Zan- wibar or Muscat will follow the valuable advice which he has just tendered us. {Appiause.) His Excellency was then introduced to a number i who | of native gentiemen, and ater a conversation with a number of friends he took his departure amid th applause of the gentlemen who had assembled ti meet him, Indian Opinion of the Failure of Sir Bartte Frere’s Mission. {From the Calcutta Englishman, May 2.) With reference to the failure of the Zanzibar mission the Times of India states positively that Sir Bartle frere was prepared to deal with and meet the financial elements of the diticulty, but that the negotiations never reached the which these would lave come on for d Our own impression is that the extent of p compensation Sir Bartle Frere was empowered to grant was strictly limited, and that had the negotiations reached the stage in question they would have broken down, owing to the insum- ciency of the amount to compensate the Sultan gate ish, whose entire revenue may be sald prac- tically to depend on the slave trade, EDUCATIONAL NOTES. The abolishment of the system of teaching com- Plicated English analysis to young pupils ts again vigorously urged by promivent individuals, A change is also proposed in the plan of instructing youth in grooves fixed py the Board of Education. ‘The varied requirements and capacities of scholars certainly demand some alteration in the itbgtiece “course of studies.’ The foard of Education pro- pose new regulations, basing the number of teach- erson the number of pupils taught, which will operate well enough in the large grammar gchools, but which wili seriously apace the effl- ciency of some of the downtown schoois, A tew persons were busy trying to have a clerk elected to the new Board. ‘They evidently jorget that the clerk and other employés of the Educational De- partment always continue in office unt the Board sees fit to dismiss them for incompetency or nezicct.

A Bookkeeper Ta' rms Against a Sea of Troubles=Despondency the Cause of the Deed. Yesterday morning, at an early hour, Michuel Thomas, a bookkeeper in the employ of Mrs. Quen- zer, doing business at 65 avenue C, while alone in the store shot himself in the right temple with a re- volver, which he had purchased, as is sup- posed, for that purpose, and was subsequently found lying dead on the floor, surrounded by a pool of blvod, and a pistol lying beside him. Deceased bad been low-spirited in consequende of failing to receive some money which he had been expecting from friends in Germany, and he was also quite desponaent because business in the sture was so dull, aithough he had no pecuniary interest in tt. In addition to the above causes, health of Thomas was not good, and preferring death to liv- ing under the discouraging state of affairs by which he was surrounded, he shot hinself in such a man- ner that death must almost instantly have ensned, Mr, Thomas, who was forty years of age and born in Germany, was a temperate, industrious and worthy man. Deputy Coroner Marsh made an oMciabexamination of the body. Relatives from Hartford, Conn., will take charge of the remains Jor interment. A PRENOH MURDER, A dreadful cage of murder has just been tried be- fore the Court of Assizes of the Puy-de-Dome at Riom. it appears from the acte daccusaiton that at aboat seven o'clock on the morming of the Lith of January some men proceeding to their work at the quarries of Teithede found @ man lyiag dead ‘and bathed im blood at a shert distance from the village. These men immediately communicated the Jact to the local authorities, and the body was recognized by the Mayer to be that of one of the most honest inhabitants of his own commune, a drover named Marien Courson, aged thirty-seven. ‘The head of the victim was riddled with shet, the pockets had been turned inside out, and 1t was evi- dent that, as he was the bearer of from twelve hundred to fourteen hundred francs, the object of the crime was robbery. The victim, accompanied by his twopartners, left home atan early hour on the morning of the 9th to attend the lair at Montferrand, which Was to take place on the following day. They disposed of their cattle and returned home on the evening of Friday, the 10th. After stopping for a shert time at Riom they took the road to Carn. broude, and om reaching a place called Davayat Courson left his companions, and tuok a short way over country towards Teilhede, On reaching a de- serted part of the road a man nam named Hébrard, farmer in the same commune, who, aware that his victim was possessed ef a sum of moncy, had jain in ambush for a couple of hours, as soon as his victim came up fired two shots at him from a rife point-blank. Death was instantaneous. When N¢brard, upon whom everything tended to Mx the crime, Was at first confronted with the produce of it, the rife with which it was committed and other irrefutable evidences of his culpability he preserved the utmost coolness, and pretended that they been hidden in his house by the real murderer. Seme days later, however, he made certain unguarded disclosures to the gen- darmes, and afterwards made a free confession of the crime to the local magistrate, acknowledg- t his victim had beew his eccasions, aud omly a few days before the crime had pi a bill with which he had been pressed by a Publican of the village. The cool bravado with which he parrated every in- cident connected with his deeply-laid crime to the Court was, the jeurnals state, revolting. “When ‘was sure that Conrsen was dead," he said, “I went up to him, examined his pockets, took everything he possessed and then went to aneighbor’s, where I took two or three glasses of wine and smoked a cigarette.” It 19 scarcely necessary to say that little was added by the testimony of witnesses to a statement like this, and Hébrard was found gullty, without extenuating circumstances, and sentenced to death.

The crowds who usually congregate on the Corso ana on the Piaggs Colonna eagerly bought up the Sun- day evening newspape™ THE RESIGNATION CU “ and the election of MacMahon was the only sube ject discussed during the evening. The change is not an agreeable one to mest minds, alwaysexcept- ing the clericals, The Journal de Rome aud L' Italie agree in considering the condition of France to be very serious, and even perilous, They see in MacMahon neither a republican nor a monarchist, “but the monarchists, that 18 to say, the legitimists, the Orleanists and the Bonapartists, have united in taking this terrible eventuality in placing the chief of the army {usupreme power." Ztalie praises the republicans for urging the people to be calm. ‘The Journal de Rome thinks civ war imminent, and tht would be fatal at a moment when the Prussians still oecupy Freuch territury and the ine demnity of five milliards is not entirely paid. Victory Emmanuel is said to have been deeply sure prised when he heard the news of Thiers? resigna- tion, A very diferent spirit prevailed in the Vatican, where these violent changes were ex- pected some time ago and where still even greater changes are expected with certainty. The “Society for the Promoton of Catholia Interests” received some time ago letters from France in which the — trinmvirate and then the Presidency of Changarnier were prophesied, ‘the latter appeara to have been the candidate supported by the French Episcopacy. Vicomte de Damas likewise brought along with his pilgrims information to the above effect to the Vatican. But it is well known that the Vatican firmly hopes to see France under the benign rule of Henri V.; so the fact that the Vatican rejoices is by no meang startling. From the Vatican there is little of general intere est to report. It is always necessary, however, to reiterate, on every possible occasion, the fact that His Holiness is pretty well in health, considering his age, and that he is as far convalescent as cver he will be. To a person in Rome who is in the habit daily from the Vatican the State of the Pope’s health, it is annoying and even painful to read the startling despatches. which are continually sent off from Rome in regard to the Holy Father's heaith, I have endeavored to op. pose these reports as much as lay in my power; but startling news of any description generally gets ahead, Even the Capitale is now silent on the Pope's health, and I am in hopes that the telegrams will m future take on a better tone. Speaking of the Capitale, the reception at the Vatican yesterday was brought about by the sing of this notorious sheet, Some time ago it had the-audacity to pub- lish, beneath the very nose of the Pope, a Life of Jesus, full of BLASPHEMY, of one sort or another, thereby calling upon itselt the wrath of the Chureh; the sermons of the preachers were directed against it; and the consequence was that the Capitale soon rejoiced in tts increased sales. Now comes the editor of the Unita Cattolica | to Rome, heading a deputation, and bringing with them for the Pope an album containing some thousands of addresses of distinguished Italians, together with a suin of money (suid to bo 200,006 francs) for Peter's pence. The album is styled an album dt riparaziane—that 1s, a reparation to God for the blasphemies of the Capifaie, ‘Ihis is tu assure His Holiness that the editors of the Unita Cattolica are still faithtul to the canse of the Church, which nobody ever doubted. Lis Holiness wont much rather be assured, we lancy, that the people of his good city of Rome had ceased to read the Capitale, ‘The Pope was in the Vatican garden, seated in one ol the summer houses, to receive the above-named dcputation on Sunday morning, He was able to waik about a little; but his physicians take care that he sill not over-cxert humsei! easily again. At last the fight at the Gesu is, we trust, ended, ‘The trial came of on Saturday, and ended by the Judge condemning the young Italian Leppi, charged with striking Vansitrart, to a fine of ff teen francs and the costs of the Court; and lectur- tng the clerical — in general, and young Mr. Vansittart and his Companions in parficular, on the antl-national tendencies they had exhibited, ‘The ease was called on about eleven o'clock, and was tried in the presence of a great number of spectators, and, of course, all the correspondents, mai¢ and female, of London papers. One gentle- man considered the affeir of such vital interest to the English world that he had employed a | wtenographer to take full notes of the poo hi For my part! could never see anything in the whole affair except a pretty squabble between two factions, Which ought never lo lave received the attention it did in the English press, Considering the matter in tts personal aspect, we are still in- clined to the view, however, that Vansittart and his clerical friends had the right on tl side, when they asserted that they did not commence hostilities, THE LIBERALS complained that Vansittart and Antonelli and their friend “cut atttudes” at them, Between service and midday mass, it seems, the three young men used bd the short time of ten minutes in smoking @ cigar on the steps of the Gesa, previous to going in to mass. They stood there looking as defiantly as any persou naturally wonld on seving his political ‘or religleus antagonists grouped about on the square, but they unfortunately “struck attitudes,’ and in various ways showed their disguat for their liberal foes, After mass, when tne three young men sauntered out of chureb, they came tuexpectediy on the same crowd on the Piazza Venezia, when, it is proved by many witnesses, among them twu policemen, that the liberals were the first to use insulting lan- guage. Then the row, the detatls of which I need not repeat. ‘The case in Court was pushed only against three of the liberals—Poltior!, Lippi and Fornari; and Lippi, being convieted of striking and wounding \ansittart, was fined. Antonelli did not appear, The only annoying thing to young Vansittart is the reprimand of the Judge, who declared tiat the provocation came from the clerical purty. He spoke against the con- duct of the preachers of the Gesu, who had done much to stir up party feeling by the violent char- ucter of their sermons. ‘Two great events were announced for Rome thia morning. Fortunately the day is @ holiday in honor of one of the saints—St. Philipp, I belteve— and the people showed themselves in thousands on the streets to witness them—the eclipse and the arrval of the Empress of Russia, ‘the partial eclipse, Which was announced to commence here at jorty-lour minutes alter eight and to be enued at thirty-eight minutes after nine, was unobserv- able to the naked eye. The next event ot the day wus the arrival of THE EMPRESS OF RUSSIA, an event witch was announced tor half-past ten, Vast military preparatious had been wade for her reception, and ut the time appotnted halt the popu- Jation of Kome lined tne streets frum the Corso to the railroad depot awatung—a great disappoint. ment, After being broiled and roasted in the sun for over an hour a telegram arrived saying that only at that moinent had the Empress entered the cars at Civita Vecchia and that she would not arrive before half-past twelve. Yet.the people did not budge. They watted the two hours, seek- ing shade under the houses and ruins as best they could and amusing themselves in Italian holiday fashion. At last the imperial party arrived aud were received by Victor Emmatuel, the Crown Prince Humbert, Princess Margherita and other members or the Italian royal faiuily. A vast concourse of people lined the streets all the way to the palace of the Russian Mister, on the Corso (where the Empress wiil reside during hier sojourn in Rome), and gave the Russian Visitors a sbiemn welcome, for the Italians do not seem to be in the babit of cheering, not eveu the King. The first carriage was occupied by the Empress aud the Grand Duchess Marie of Russia, the King and the Princess of Savoy. Prince Hambert made the hanors to the beautitul Grand Duch Marie Alexandrowna tn the second equipage. Rumor says that the Empress brings with her @ welcome present for Lis Holiness the Pope in the shape of a million of fraucs—a sum which will be very acceptable to tie Vatican treag- ury. Some TMPORTANT ARRESTS have just been made in Rome, six members of the Italian Internationals who took up their resi- dence in Rome sowe time ago.
