PHILADELPHIA, July 30, 1874, Bill the same doleful news from police and wewspapers, The energy and perseverance of one month’s ceaseless work has failed to elicit the faintest fabric of a clew, except the finding of a four-year-old child in a camp of gypsies, who proves not to be Charley Ross. Not even the merest | trace of the men, the buggy or the poor iittle child | bas been found. A reward, second only iz amount te that offered for the apprehension of the Nathan | murderers, has been powerless to develope apy | coniederates or “mutual trends.” Over the case Shere still hangs the pall of darkest mystery.

Whether the boy will ever | ve found or not is Bow becoming a seriously | mooted question. | APTER THE “MAIN CHANCE," “anything for a ciew,”’ 18 the strain the men at the Central Office are always chanting. Tne | #chemes they devise and the dark plots which + ‘they concoct to trap the thougntiess brigands who Rave carried of Mr. Ross’ boy are something wonderful and must remain for years as monu- | menis of detective acumen.

Great Strike PLYMOUTH, Pa., Iniy 30, 1874. The great coal interest of the Nortvern coal fields hax never been so depressed as at present. ‘The larger portion of the collieries in this imme- | diate district is either entirely suspended or running on reduced time, and hundreds of indus- | trious, deserving miners are in consequence saf- fering ior the bare necessaries of life, Further up wm the region, at Scranton, Carbondale and ad- joining towns, the picture of saifering is equally as bad, if not worse. The condition of things is far more distressing than during the memorable “long strike” of 1870-71, It is estimated that be- tween 12,000 and 15,000 colliers are now out of em- ployment, and many others soon will be, as several heavy operating companies are preparing to sus- pend operations. Ibe quantity of anthracite beiwg shipped from this region is greatly below that usually transported at this season of the year. Whuie the miners assert that the ducers are biamable jor the affairs, by Joremg down production so that the okey supply of coal at the various depots can | be held : FOR SPECULATIVE PURPOSES, which is, no doubt, trae to some extent, as an advance on the wholesale prices for August is an- nounced, the figures ranging from fitteen to | twenty cents on # ton, the operators state that the cause of the reduciion of production 18 that | there is no market tor coal, and no probability of any profitable transactions before September or October. AS every branch of industry depends, to @ jarger or smaller degree, upon the coal trade for {ts support, the depression in mining causes general stagnation. Merchants complain that bankruptcy stares them in the lace and pray for more prosperous times, Tne miners, having become tired of what they term the exac- tions of the monopolists, are restless, and some of | the more unreasonabie spirits are urging a strike, | LARGE MEETINGS ARE BEING HELI under the auspices of the Miners’ National Union, of which James O'Halloran is the President, in Luzerne county, and an organization is being rap- idly effected, The laborers are also very much op- posed to the “company store” system, and there 18 a very strong movement now on the tapis to | demolisn the nuisance which affects so seri- ously the interests of miners and bust ness men, ‘The men employed at the Sa- jem__colliery, Shickshinny, are on a@ strike aguinst an effort of the operatives to destroy their | branch of the Miners’ Nationa) Union, and not for an increase of wages, as has been reported, The men receive $2 95 per week trom the union during the continuance of the strike. | bon Hill and Mount Pleasant, Ashley, this town | and other places are enrolling theruselves under | the banner of the National Union, and the prospect of another atriggle between labor and monopolists is not bad, Shomd a “stand out” occur soon it bit be a determined one, as it is understood that the TREASURY OF THE ONTON is well supplied with funds, and the miners can be supported ior @ long time, or until the accummiated coal will be so reduced that the operating compa nies Witt allow ail the rules and regulations of the | association to be carried out in the region so that Mining may ve resumed, IRELAND UNDER ENGLISH RULE, The Dublin Freeman's Journal bas the follow- | ings | Among recently publisied Parliamentary papers is @ return (obtained by Mr, counties, cities and districts which are now “pro- claimed” under the Peace Preservation acts.

As will be seen | by the scores of the respective troops they both | made avery good record, The day was one of the most lovely of the season, and hardly a hatsul of wind disturbed the marksmen’s aim.

This, of course, made @ material difference in the result of the scores, The cavalry have shown scores much above the average of the infantry regiments. But tt must be remembered that the men who were at the ranges yesterday are a suverior class of citi- zens; and while it is conceded that the infantry should beat the horsemen at rife practice, the distances at which the latter fired must be taken into account; and algo that the arm of precision with which they shot, at 100 and 300 yards, 1s much more accurate and reliable at these short | ranges than the infantry arm at 200 and 500 yards, | The difference in the distance and the nature of | | the arm make a good deal of percentage in favor | of the cavalry.

LEAVING NEW LONDON FOR NEWPORT. Incidents of the Run to that Gay Summer Resort. NEwporr. R. I., July 28, 1874. ‘This was @ pleasant day for the Brooklyn yachts- men. At an early hour the several vessels com. posing the feet lying in the harbor of New London, awaiting the starting gun from the flagsbip Made- deine for tne run to this delightful summer resort, were alive with excitement, and each captain and | owner bent on making the most of the fine southerly breeze, whose aid was to be invoked to waft them speedily to their destination, The yachts never presented a finer signt, and asa feet were @ credit to the spirited organization to | which the boats belong. The morning was elegant, and the clear sky was flecked here and there with @ handful of snow capped clouds, which seemed to set off the blue vault of heaven in more pertect beauty. From’the yacht Cifle I could plainly see on shore numerous ladies and gentlemen gathered to withess the departure of the feet, and more than one yachtsman lifted his cap in token of thaoxs tor the honor thus conferred upon them. At 8h, 15m, the first gun sent its nollow echo out upon the air aod there was burried restlessness on each lashed courier. Filteen minutes later the re- sonant gun again sent forth its bellowing, Hardly bad the smoke cleared, when like magic each yacht Tan up its white robes, and, paying off towards the Groton shore, took the fluttering breeze and com- menced to beat out of the harbor in the following manner:—Qui Vive leading, Vomet next, then the Clio chose upon her heels, with the Lethea, Cimie, Alice, Saaie, Fleur de Lis and Gypsie in the order named, with the Madeleine last. The Qui Vive held her own handsomely, and was the first to tack across to Fort Trumbull, with the White Wing fol- joWing, and soon the fleet were standing over in the same manner. Now the movements of the yachts presented a pretty picture as they tacked to and fro, some being under the land of the Groton shore, secking to better their positions by the first of the ebb tide, while the others were under the barbette guns of Turnbull, with the same object in view, until at length the Helena went about on the | starboard tack and passed the Pequot House, on the Jawn in front of which were scores of specta- | tors looking out upon the heautimi picture and manilesting their appreciation of the scene by the waving of delicate cambrics, Thus, with the Helena in advance, the thne of passing this point was as annexed.

All now rushed out by the New London light, and, catching the ebb tide, bowled aiong in queenly style out along Eastern Point, some ol the smaller boats making & short cut to tie northward of Frank’s Ledge to gave a little distance, while the larger of the fleet ploughed their way between Frank's and Black leaaes and then on they went fying towards Fisner’s Island Sound. The Qui Vive set her jib topsall at 9h. 22m, 30s., when the Helena and saucy White Wing followed her example, and sent that sail Suttermg into position at 9b. 25m, 30s, The race was now begun in earnest, and though the wind was not fresh enough te give the jolly tars @ great amount of work or to smash the crockery in the lockers and make the stewards utter hard words, there was enough tor a beau’ ful sail, and plenty for tne landsmau, who will get sick on the slightest pretence when he meets the broad swell of O1d Ocean, Now Pine Island was reached, and leaving the spindie on Black Ledge, the yachts were timed as iollows :— Ss. .

Now the Madeleine, with her standing sail only, reached out magnificently aud Jorge up to the Cho, and it seemed that she wouid give her the good-by, but the big ® aysail of the Cho helped her grandly and she beld her own with gallant re sistency jor a time. The White Wing at this with her big human freight, was leading the fleet handsomely, with the neat Recreation nexe, then the Helena, Qui Vive and Sadie following, of the smailer boats. Before this juncwure the Comet had set her jib topsail and staysail, and these doing their Quty well she walked by her larger sisters and was jast crawling on the little ones that went fying on their mission as if pursued by | Neptune himseli. The Wanderer at this time was seen coming cut of the harbor of New London, and the United States Fish Commis- tationed at Noank, Lievtenant Commander Howard, passed the fleet on her way westward. Running by biuff Point the leading yachts maintamed the positious given above, All sioners’ steame: | this while the saucy Sadie and the little Qui Vive had a merry struggle, and as they fought their bat tle over again many of the yachtsmen fora moment forgot their own crait, and applauded the pretty appearance. The ieading yacht was now approach- ing Mystic Island, and as the ladies of the hotel congregated on the beach each passing boat saluted them withagttn, The Cifle was abeam of Mystic Light at 10h. 7m. 30s. All this while the Comet was rapidly overhauling the sloops, and at, Joh. 10m. she had said adieu to the Recreation and Helena, and at 10h. 18m. the Qui Vive was treated jikewise. The Qui Vive in her tussie with the Sadie neld her grandly for a long time, but the | size of the iatter began to tell and finally she drew ahead, At 10h, 15m, the Madeleine had shown her heels to the Haze, apd soon | alter the Clio also crept by the New London craft. It was sharp work, and the scuooner yachts were so close together the yachismen could talk to each other from the decks—a picture fit for a nautical painting, Pass- ing the eastern point of Fisher’s Isiand the White Wing was still careening along in advance, tol- Jowed by the Sadie, Comet, Qui Vive, Helena, Recreation, Madeleine, Clio, Haze, Alice, Fleur de Lis, Cifie and Lethea. At 10h. 50m. the Clio went by the Recreation, and at the same time the Vice Commodore's crait shot ahead of the Alice and Haze, taking @ position astern of the Cito, Now Wateb Hill was in toll sight, and speeding along with the fair wind the yachts shot by this water- ing place, saluting the crowds on the beach, as SOOWS — PASSING WATCH HILL LIGHT, Name.

No picnic more enjoyable to the spectators was ever witnessed. Manaban’s Band was there, seated on # platiorm improvised for the occasion. ‘The members of the Board of Chosen Freenoiders, | excepting four, were in attendance.
