The following special despatch to the Hznatp has been received from our corre- spondent in the British metropolis: — Lonpon, July 20, 1873. Reports regarding the incidents and conse- quences of the battle which was fought be- tween the Spanish government forces and the Carlist army at Igualada, in the province of Barcelona, last Friday, the 18th instant, vary greatly in the matter of statement according ts they come from Madrid and Spanish gov- srnment sources or by the Carlist channel of {nformation, through Perpignan. A FIERCE ATTACK AND DESPERATE FIGHTING. All the accounts, however, agree with re- tpect to the main point—that Igualada was attacked by the united Carlist columns under Prince Alphonso, and that fighting of a most flesperate character ensued, and was continued luring a space of eighteen hours, a portion of the population assisting in the defence of the town, while part of the people sympathized with the Carlists, HEAVY LOSSES TO THE REPUBLICANS. Madrid reports to hand in this city state the tesult of the engagement both ways, but a cir- sumstantial account of the affair, which has Just been received through Perpignan, says that the place (Igualada) was captured by the Carlists, and that the republicans also lost 1,000 prisoners, four cannons and 2,000 stand of small arms.

Peace Farther Important Details of Its Fi- , Rancial Dificalties. The important announcement that application had been made to Chancellor Theodore Runyon, of New Jersey, for the appointment of a receiver to take charge of the Midland Railway in that State owing to financial trouble, briefly and exclusively made in yesterday’s HERALD, proves to have been merely a tithe of the truth. The follow- ing additional details have since come to the knowledge of a HERALD representative :— Work was commenced on the road about three years ago, and it was Gpened for trafic last Jan- uary. The trouble which has brought the company before the Chancellor’s Court is not alone non- payment of wages to employ¢s and indemnities to landowners, but, as is alleged, @ plan to make the people of Montclair township, in Essex, whistie in vain ‘or some two hundred thousand dollars they have invested in the road. It appears that in the beginning Montclair assumed this amount of the Toad’s bonds ef indebtedness, the Montclair division of the road pledging security to the town, and the Midland, in turn, to the Montclair. In the event of neither the Montclair division nor the Midland making good its promises the town became responsible. This, it seems, was the original understanding and agreement. The work on the road was rushed forward, and, as above stated, it was opened last January for tramic. The first management of the affairs of the company gave great dissatisiaction. The officers and controlling spirits were, as is stated, much better versed in New York legislative politics than railroading. Be this as it may, a change took place ne time ago. The old official régime was routed ane A SYNDICATE SUBSTITUTED, at the head of which stood and still stands ex- ‘ta George Opdyke, of New York. However es! ble and admirable the syndicate may be considered by some, it appears to be with Montclair even more unpopular than the old management. The cause of this is that the syndicate, as is dec: have iven the people of Montclair to understand that hey (the syndicate) utteriy repudiate the promises made by the Midland to the Montclair division, thus rendering the securities 01 the former worth- Jess and throwing the burden ofethe debt on the latter. ‘THE LIABILITIES OF THE ROAD Row are set down at $7,708,000, This includes first and second mortgage bonds, debts unsecured, inte- rest, &c. Naturally the Montclair people are gr ly excited over the matter, for should the syndicate Teally repudiate the Midland’s promises, Ment- clair ‘would not have even a fish-joint to show for her $200,000. A number of contractors, too, are in anything buts pleasant frame of mind. One of them, @ tr. MeArthur, who built the tunnel, has long been trying to get a little bill of his settled—a bili to the tune of $40,000, Another contractor is likewise anxious about @ $40,000 bill, and a host of other persons for lesser amounts. Mr. McArthur and others it was who brought the matter before Chan- cellor Runyon’s Court in Newark. On Friday last argument was had to show cause why a receiver should not be appointed to assume control of the affairs of the company. THE DEFENDANTS FAILED TO SHOW ANY CAUSE, and Chancellor Runyon took the papers and re- served his decision until to-day or to-mor- row as to whether he should appoint a re- ceiver or three trustees, Another cause for tribulation among the Montclair folks ts the fact that certain persons wii, Bed in the employ of the road and known to have influence with it still, have been specially threatening that they will prevent the ‘opie from getting bi one nny of their money. Contractors and other employés are exercised regardin; similar threats relating to them. It is believes too, in these latter circles, that a plot is hatetung to depreciate the value of the Montclair Division tock, 80 that it can be bought in tor a mere song, id the full control and ownership of the entire road be secured by the syndicate. THE JENNERSVILLE MYSTERY, The Brother of Goss Arrested in Balti- more—The Incentive to Murder on the Part of Udderzook. BALtmoreE, July 20, 1873, The latest development in tne Chester county (Pa.) murder is the arrest in this city of Aléxander C. Goss, brother of the murdered man, ona charge of being accessory to the conspiracy forswindling the insurance companies. His complicity was discovered through letters irom Udderzook to his mother, which have been obtained by the authorities. In- formation bas also been obtained showing that Alexander Goss was the medium of communication between his brother and his wile after the assumed death of the former. This discloses that Mrs. Goss was aiso concerned in the pilot to defraud the companies, and it is expected — that her arrest will be immed ly® made. Pend- ing the legal proceedings to recover the money from the insurance compantes, Alexander Goss and Udderzook were drained of money to support Goss during his hiding, and the long delay and prospect of ultimate failure was additional inducement to murder. Detectives still tracing up Goss’ hiding place, and have found that for six months after the irauduient death ne was concealed at Cooperstown, Delaware county, Pennsylvania. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN PHILADELPHIA. PHILADELPHIA. Pa,, July 20, 1873. From appearances the City of Brotherly Love 1s fast losing its good name as a peaceful city, as within the past tourteen hours two deadly affrays have occurred, which may terml- nate fatally to two of the parties at least, At eleven o'clock last night Mrs. Jennie Albertson, while sitting at table playing checkers with a party of friends in Washington avenue, was approached from behind by ber husband, John Albertson, who plunged @ knife into her meck and ied, The biood spurted from the wound and sat- urated the table and the floor, The alarm wag instantly given and the would-be murderer was arrested before he had proceeded a block trem the scene. Mrs, Albertson was taken to the Pennsyl- vania Hospital, and now lies in a critical condition, Albertson bears @ bad name, and lately was re- leased from the House of Correction. Jealousy was at the bottom of the affair.

As it con- tains a condensed history of Baker's four years’ experience as Governor General of Central Africa it will be found of absorbing interest :— Kaarroum, via Alexandria, July 6, 1873, T hasten 40 communicate to you facts of the high- est importance and interest in connection with the expedition of Sir Samuel Baker, who has reached this place from the lake regions and the far South. On Sunday, the 29th of June, the English Pacha arrived at Khartoum, accompanied by Lally Baker, his nephew, Lieutenant Baker, and seven English engineers, besides his personal attendants. They had travelled hither from Gondokoro, using one of the steamers which had been taken up'country for the navigation of the lakes, and occupying a period of thirty-two days for the journey. Baker has accomplished even more than was ex- pected of him. He has penetrated as far south- wards as Mosindi, which is @ point near the head villages of the Chiefs Kabrikiand Kamrasi. On reaching this place the Pacha found that THE IVORY AND SLAVE TRADERS bad spread all kinds of evil rumors about the ex- pedition, inflaming the native tribes against it. Kabriki had been informed by them that Baker Pacha was coming, at the head of an Egyptian army, to take forcible possession of his country and annex it to Egypt, with the view of exacting heavy taxes and tributes and carrying away the people. It was accordingly agreed between the traders and the negro chiefs to MURDER BAKER if possible, and by every means to prevent the Progress of the Egyptian soldiers. Shortly alter the arrival of the Pacha with a portion of his troops at Mosindi, Kabriki, following an Alrican custom, sent ten jars of pombe—a beverage re- sembling heer—tothe strangers. This liquor was heavily CHARGED WITH POISON, and all the soldiers who partook of it were sud: denly seized with frightful symptoms and soon fell to the earth insensible and apparently liieless. By administering strong antidotes the poison was neutralized in every case and no lives were lost. Baker then despatched some of his officers as ‘mes- sengers to demand why the poisoned beer had been Sent into his camp; but as soon as they entered the negro village Kabriki ordered them to be killed, and they were all immediately MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD. War was then proclaimed, the chief beating his great drums and ordering a levy of 10,000 warriors. A large body of these attacked the Pacha, who had only a handred odd Egyptian troops with him. These men were all greatly fatigued with the long journey into the interior, and some of them were suffering from the poisoned drink. Baker was therefore compelled to beat a retreat before the SWARMS OF ENEMIES assailing him, and he retired after burning bis camp and heavy baggage. During seven days of great danger and hardship the backward march of the Egyptians was sorely harassed, and as many as thirty men were left dead on the route. At the end of this perilous week the English Pacha came to the province of Rewinka, a chief hostile to Ka- briki, and welcome assistance was then obtained. The pursuit had been already abandoned; but with @ view to punish Kabriki it was arranged that Re- winka should supply 2,000 armed men, and that these, with thirty picked Egyptian soldiers, should return towards Mosindi and do their beat to take and KILL THE TREACHEROUS NEGRO. Baker promised that if this expedition was suc- cessful Rewinka should be appointed Governor of his own and Kabriki's district in the name oi the Viceroy of Egypt. With the remainder of his force the Pacha then returned northwards towards Fatiko, but on reaching a place called Lazarita (?) he and his men were unexpectedly fired upon irom the houses of the slave traders there. Thirty of Baker's soldiers were thus siain; the remainder entrenched themseives till assistance could be ob- tained, and then issued from their entrenchment to attack the traders, who held a strong .position in dense thickets of reeds. THE ATTACK was very successful, the reed beds were taken by storm, and 140 of the slavers’ party were slain, many prisoners being also captured, while the re- mainder fled inland. The captives, in explanation of the attack made upon Sir Samuel’s command, said that the orders of their masters and oi! the chiefs friendly to them were to kill “THE NAZARENB” (meaning Baker) wherever and whenever they could. ey all confirmed this declaration, which was drawn up irom their own mouths, signed and sealed by each, and then iorwarded to the govern- ment of Soudan, at Khartoum, asa documentary proof of the malignancy of these slave-hunting merchants, This chastisement cleared the whole ceuniry abeut Gondokoro and down towards Rewinka’s territory. After a period of repose, which was im- Deratively needed, Baker commenced systemati- cally to organize the districts which were in his Possession. He made Fatiko THR OHIEF TOWN of the new territory, and appointed superintendents at the other stations. Belore Jong the natives settled down wonderfully weil under the new government, , and appeared exceedingly satisfied with the safety d quiet which it afforded. The light tribute exacted of a basket of bread and a bundle of grass per monta for each hut was paid with alacrity and regularity; and when Sir Samuel went finally northwards, having established the reinforcements sent him along the annexed region, the negroes at Fatiko gave him the most vociferous farewells, calling him “lather” and “master,” and looking upon him as THEIR FUTURE PROTECTOR. ‘The term of the contract signed by Sir Samuel Baker and by the English engineers with tie Khedive had now expired, andjhaving made all ar- rangements, the Pacha embarked at Gondokoro in one of the steamers brought up country by the expedition, Another vessel of the same model has been successiully carried as far as Gondokoro, and as soon as camel transportation can be ob- tained it may be taken to the lakes and set afloat there, The third of THE THREE IRON VESSELS sent ap in pieces with the same object lies yet at Khartoum, the difficulties of transport having proved extremely great, Next to Fatiko the cluef station of the new ter- ritory will be Goudokore. Baker has marked out eight more spots as principal posts, and these will constitute a chain leading from Nubia to the Albert Myanza. One thousand additional troops have been ordered down to complete the garrison of these stations. ‘Thus much for the political portion of the tidings brought by the gallant Pacha.

BROOKLYN YACiT CLUB. The Fleet En Route to Huntington Bay—Arri- val at New Haven—Splendid Sailing—To Start for New London on Tuesday. Hontinorow, L. I., July 19, 1873. ‘The Brooklyn Yacht Club fleet left Glen Cove this morning under orders to anchor in Huntington Bay unless otherwise ordered by signal from the flagship. The morning had been dull and cloudy, with every appearance of bad weather, but about ten A, M. it began to clear up and shortly afterwards a gun was fired from the flag- sbip as @ preparatory signal, The tide was about the middle of the ebb, and the breeze light from the east-northeast. A large party of the Pavilion Hotel guests were congregated on the shore watching tho start, At five minutes of twelve the second gun was fired from the flagship Madeleine and jibs were run up and anchors lifted. The Maggie B., with General Tom Thumb at the wheel, got away first, followed by the Kate, Recreation and Gema. Addie came next, passing under the stern of the Madeleine. The Sophia followed, a llttle to windward of the Commodore. The Maraquita, with the Un- dine in her wake, hugged along inshore, well up to windward, The Emma T. started last of the sioops, slipping easily through the water after the Undine. Commodore Voor. his was evidently determined to let the little fellows get a good start, and the owners of other schooners, with proper courtesy, awaited a move from the flagship. Presenily the Fleur De Lis got under way, with the Tidal Wave a short distance astern. All yachts were on the board tack, and as they got away from under the land and began to feel, the breeze, danced along quite mer- rily. ; THE MADELEINE and the new schooner Clio got away together about four hundred yards astern of the Tidal Wave, The Clio was under main and foresail, maintop- sail and gib and gib-topsail. She passed the Made- leine and started after the Tidal Wave, who lapped up for an instant to trim down her sails. The Madeleine soon began to get in working order, and at one bell was abreast ofthe Clio but a couple of hundred yards to lee- ward, The Clio took in her flying jib, as it did not set well, and followed after the Tidal Wave, which was closing up with the Fleur de Lis.. The sloop yacht Commodore was doing well with the sloops and working her way toward the van of the fleet, The Clioand Madeleine were both doing good work, holding each other and gaining on the Tidal Wave and Fleurde Lis, The latter was dropping off to leeward of the feet and the Clio clawing up to windward, while the Madeleine went a ilttle the fastest through the water. At about one P. M. the Fleur de Lis tacked, and standing for the Long Island shore passed under the stern of the Clio. ‘I'he Tidal Wave stayed shortly afterwards and crossed the bows of the Clio, and the Madeleine followed a few seconds afterwards. The Clio was doing pretty well, taking into consideration her length and the canvas she had spread, At 1:12 the Clio went on the starboard tack and, heading up towards the Long Island shore, followed after the Madeleine, which was about half a mile ahead. On this tack the Fleur de Lis gota favorable slant of wind, and, when she tacked, came out to windward of the Clio. The ‘Tidal Wave was doing well, making short tacks be ap Boge Long Island shore and leading the Madeleine by about half a mile. THE EMMA T. and the Genia were Seyite @ good time, makin, tack and tack together, and the former appeare to be getting a littie the best of the match. The Fleur de Lisin this light breeze, with six or seven new clews on her muinsai!, was moving fast and holding herowu with the new yacht Clio, a stamp of schooner requiring more spar and canvas in light weather, The wind was light and puffy, and the day still kept durk and cloudy, without a gleam of gunshine to brighten up the scene. The sivop Commodore was by this time leading the fleet, in company with the Kate, Maggie B. and Addie. Shortly befere four P. M., when off Lioyd’s Neck, the wind died out, and the yachts lay becalmed. After about half an hour, with the sails lying idly to the masta, a° light air came up from the east-southeast, which, gradually strengthening, set the yachts in motion. It was not, however, of very long duration, as in half an hour the hindmest were again becalmed, while the Tidal Wave and some of the leading yachts had a good breeze. The Undine did well by gving across to the Westchester shore, a8 she succeeded in getting in a few seconds ahead of the Commodore. General Tom Thumb, in the Maggie B., was among the first arrivals, followed shortly afterwards by the Sophia, Addie and Kate. The Emma T, came ina few seconds in advance of the Genia, THE TIDAL WAVE maintained her lead of the Madeleine throughout, and anchored some time before the flagship. ‘The Clio and Fleur de Lis had an _interest- ing drifting match together, and just after dark the former anchored a few minutes beiore the Flower of the Bourbons. On the whole it was an unsatisiactory kind of sail, as the wind during the day never kept steady for more than half an four. uring the evening thesyachtsmen amused them- selves by visiting each other, and-some fireworks were let of, AT NEW HAVEN, New Haven, Jnly 20, 1873, The morning broke pleasant and fair, and shortly alter 7A. M. the sloops took advantage of a light southerly breeze and weighed anchor for New Haven. Commodore Voorhis decided not to start until the afternoon, and the Tidal Wave remained to keep him Sonne: The Clio lest about @ quarter to __ eight, followed a itew minuies later by the Fleur de Lis. The schooner Van Name started two or three minutes ahead of the Clio, During the ‘fore part of the morning the breeze kept pretty iresh amd the yachts skipped along at a lively gait. The Clio rapidly ove! hauled the Van Name and soon began closing up on the sloops. The little Sophia ‘was a8 usual doing well, and among the leading boats of the fleet the Undine and Commodore were also pretty close together, with the Addie and Kate a short distance astern, having an _ in- teresting match together. The breeze began to draw more ait, and the sloops with booms to port run out whisker-poies to starboard for their baloon jibs. e Clio was split open with her boom to port and showing the Van Name a clean pair of heels, The Fleur de Lis waa also graduall, (roping astern and not doing as well.as she did in the sail of the previous day. As the yachts neared the Connecticut shore the breeze appeared to freshen up a little and the Clio passed THE ADDIE, KATE AND MAGGIE B. The latter was doing very well, and leading her two er antagonists. Sam Greenwood looked disappointed at not having any more schooners to whip, but, jibing ever nis joreboom, he lashed a couple of poies together the jib, drawing on the starboard side. ‘The leading yachts arrived at Morris Cove shortly before noon. ‘the Commodore, Undine, Sophia, Genia and EmmaT. were about the first toarrive. The schooner Clio came next, but instead of stopping at the Cove jibed over her boom, ran up and anchored off the ratiroad dock, New Haven. The Mp ges B., Kate, Addie, Genia, Sophia and the rest of the feet followed tne example of the Clio and came up and anchored off the city. The fleet proceeds to-morrow te West Haven, where the members of the (iu¥ are to be handsomely entertained at a clambake. and set balloon There will be a ball im the evening. The schooner yachts Madeleine and Tidal ad rived last this one The schooner Foam and Magic and the sloop yachts Meta and Kaiser Wilbeim are expected tq join the fleet to- morrow.

Where Did Sir Hugh Allan’s : $400,000 GoP A Powerful Opposition Ready to Tackle the Ministry. beetle ACTIVITY OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. Sir Hugh Interviewed on the Great Railroad Route. Monreal, July 19, 1873, The publication this morning of Mr. @. W. McMul- len’s extraordinary story of his adventures with Sir Hugh Allan, in search of a charter to build the Canadian Pacifig Ratiroad, has had the effect of easing public anxiety concerning the scandal by affording proof of the degradation of the Ministry. To be relieved from » state ‘of painful suspense is always acceptable, even though» the relief comes through @ realization of our worst fears, The vague in- sinuations of a partisan press, where the honor of a nation is at issue, are simply exasperating to the public mind. To-day the people, who but yester- day were 80 depressed, appear almost jubilant in spite of their loudly expressed indignation. The community ia not shocked by the re- cital The warnings had been too often given, and individually many of the members of the Queen's Privy Council had long since forfeited popular respect. The intemperate habits of one Minister, for instance, I am told, have ceased toexcite remark. Reformatory attempts have been frequently made, and sometimes with a promise of success; but the cold water treatment invariably failed just at the moment when it was whispered at the clubs that @ cure had been surely effected. But even this lamentable weak- ness might have been condoned in consia- eration of hia brilliant talents had his character been to all other particulars OF A MILKY WHITENESS, As it is, a fall at this time is more like a stumble in the mire than a dropping irom a dizzy height in public esteem. Sir John A. Macdonald’s personal resemblance to Disraeli is very striking, and it is believed that he rather prides himself on being like that eminent statesman in other respects more im- portant than mere profile and hair. But.ambition, in its noblest sense, is not one of these, for he has parted with his political reputation, if common be- lief be well founded. But be is artful withal, and it is undoubtedly true that there are yet some few persons, who, dazzled by the brighter colors of his variegated character, regard him as @ martyr to political chicanery. Of such are probably the recent happy subscribers to a fund of $80,000, placed where it would certainly do the most good, in token of their admiration for him as a man and as a slight tribute to his umtiring zeal in behalf of his country. These swift reasoners argued that to be poor was to be honest where politica were concerned, and Sir John’s supposed chronfc shortness of funds was charit- ably attribated to an excess of virtue rather than to any other kind of excesses. The generous sub- scribers to the Macdonald testimonial must ieel a little crestfallen when called upon to read such terse letters as this :— ANOTHER TEN THOUSAND. To mx Hons. J. J. C. Annorr ann ANNEs:— I must have another 10,00. Will be the last time of calling. Do not iail me. Answer to-day, JOHN A. MACDONALD, You will comprehend the {ull force o! the above despatch when told that the Hon. J. J. C. Abbott, besides being a member of the House of Commons for the Argenteuil constituency, is also the solicitor and confidential adviser of sir Hugh Allan, who, at the date given, was making forced loans to nearly the entire Ministerial household at Ottawa for the purpose of getting the Pacific charter, There is much curiosity here to know the con- tents of two sealed envelopes, which are said to be contained in @ third deposited by Sir Hugh Allan and G. W. McMullen with a banker on Great St. James street—a Mr. Starnes. Rumor had it for @ time that Sir Hugh's deposit was a check to McMullen’s order for $17,600, while MeMullen’s envelope was believed to contain the originals of the correspondence between them re- Jat ne ee bribery business. The explanation ‘was that McMullen had agreed to SKITLE WITH SIR HUGH FOR $25,000, of which $7,500 was paid him on account and the balance was represented in the check alluded to, and which was to have been paid over to him ten days alter the prorogation of Parliament (about the middie of next month) rovided that in the meantime McMullen withhel he Allan letters from the public. If this theory is correct, McMullen valued revenge more than he did the $10,000, which, by the alleged terms of the contract, he torfeited when he breke silence in reply to the indiscreet attacks upon him by the Gesette, @ journal wntil very recently owned by an. OPPOSITION MUSIC COMES NEXT, ‘The great question now is, how will the govern- Ment face the opposition music, the themes of which McMullen has just discovered?

Those who favor it hope that the present opportunity will be turned to 4] account. The people have discovered that they must be prepared to take care of themselves in any sudden emergency; that England cannot be depended upon to pull them through any serious complications that may arise, and, above ail, that the possibility ofcomplications with their next dvor neighbors is greater while they remain subjects of the Queen. e deprivation of the treaty-making wer, they say, renders it impossible for them to Rave-that iuil, Jair, frank and FRIENDLY RELATIONSHIP WITH THR UNITED STATES which it is thetr interest and wish to maintain.

CANADIAN LOYALTY TO THE SOVERKIGN has always been of the most obsequious kind, and sincere at that, but this will not prevent a separa- tion.

WILL THR PACIFIC RAILROAD BE BUILT? Considering that the highest authority on this, poing could be none other than the man wie hought the commission to build it, and who hadi lately returned from London, where he had ap- pied for help in the torm of a Faropean, yndicate to provide capital, I called on Sir Hugh Alan and propounded the conundrum. The sexagenarian knight seemed pleased to learm that the HeRaLp took ao interest in his lite games and became very affable. He said that t “road would be built if the money could be “What is the prospect of ‘raising the wind" & inquired. ‘This came very near being a poser, I fear, for Sir Hugh replied rather evasively to the effect that the prospect was not wholly bad. I had not tre heart to ask Why it should be at all bad, for! wae airaid that it would bring to mind the little disa- wreement existing between himseli and his former — McMullen, so I charged in @ didereut direc~ jon, “Where will the line begin, if it ever begins *’ B queried, “At Lake Niptssing,” he wered, “And where will it end—at New Weatminster ?"* “On, no, not at New Westminster." “Where then ?’’ “That is quite undetermined, The survevs wil! have to be made on the Pacific coast before we cam. ide where to strike a port.’* ae the work be completed in the tlie specie le “Well, hardly, It will juire fully tem years, and two have already expired.” ly 7, “Ig tt intended to adhere to the original ronte,, running north of Lake Superior end keeping en- tirely within British Territory.” rhe law says that we must,” answered Sir Hugh. “Are you confident, Sir Hugh, that the proposed route is to be prelerred to those opened or under way in ihe United States?” Most assuredly,’’ he responded, “The climate is more favorable in Winter through the Valley of the Saskatchewan to British Cotum- bia and our surveys have revealed @ passage over the Rocky Mountains at altitudes lesa than one- half the heights scaled by the present Pacilla roads, UNROLLING SOME MAPS, he tracked the line to its indefinite terminus oppo- and showed the comparative gradicuta nd Central and the Canadian Pacilia between the oceans. avenu were wholly with the latter route, which, | could not help remarking, is fortumate for the predes- tined stockholders. ‘The remainder of the interview was occupied in discussing the practicability of shortening the mall and passenger transportation between New York and London. sir Hugh impressed me as being & man who is getting “too many frona in the fire,” considering his age, tor ne cannot be less than sixty-five. ‘To run thirty-two ocean steamers and to be the presiding oMcer in banking institutions and telegraph companies and head financial manipulator in some half a dozeo proposed local ratiroads ought to turnish employ- meat enough for one person, But sir Hugh evident ly thinks that the Pacific scheme can be straight- ened out without much extra effort, He mu: think this, or he would not have squandered ened for the privilege of owning the charter to id it, EXTRAORDINARY AQUATICS. The advantages An Interesting East River Reon veut. ing and Wading in the Water—The Benefits of Life-Preservers Realizcd— Thirteen Men on a Picnic in the Waves. The East River sports on yesterday surpassed anything yet witnessed in the swimming line. From noon until ate at night the whole river, froum Filty-fourth to Seventieth street, was one scene of continued enjoyment. At six o'clock P, M. one of the most exe traordinary experiments came of, Thirteen mem stripped off at the foot of Sixty-sixth street an@ East River, and, putting on each @ lite preserver§ - walked unceremoniously into the river and succeeded in crossing it without muchr apparent difficulty. The following are the names of the adventurers, viz.:—Mr. William F. Wolff, who took a basket of refreshments on his arm and shared, in picnic style, with his come panions, in the centre of the river; Mr. Charies Heyse, who kept on all his clothes and showed himself perfectly indifferent during the trial; Otto Wolf, Mr. T. Roesner, Mr. L. Harris, Mr. Kauser, 8. May, F. Jaackes, H. Remourgh, N. Hai ris, 8. Lippman, E. Cannon and 8. Hackes, The whole party as they waded along throug the deep waters of the river to Blackwell's Island smoked, drauk and ate sandwiches, The large crowds ef people on both sides of the rive enjoyed the scene to un exciting degree, laughing and cheering throughout, Mos® of the adventurers did not know how to swim, but nad only to keep hold of the hands of their companions. The life ;reserver was made in the form of a vest and padded with corks, After re- turning to the natatorium the whole party were Lon gif treated by Messrs. Braun & Kaho weilers. In the evening the following matches were pro~ sed for July 26, to come of at the loot of Filty- fourth street and East River, under tne direction of the Swimming Cluo, viz. :—4 men’s match, for a prize medal, valued at $45; a boys’ match, fora silver medal, valued at $20, and a ladies’ match, for a pair of bracelets, valued at $35.
