ol tuo fixtures and the scenery, the tire spread
with rapidity, so much ro that tho flames had
gained sutlicicnt headway to reach the upper
floors of the building familiarly known as the
City Assembly Rooms. As soon as the occti

building learned that tho flames were likely
tocflvcttne destruction of their premises, the
moHt energetic exeitions were made by them
to remove their stock, which they succcede I in
doing, with the assistance of the Insurance

f t l for the mjiectlve ruitics will sum up the
case this mornlne. The amount of damages
claimed by Mis. Moody is $10,000. She claims
that ulie was injured for life by reason of the
defendant driving over her with two horses and
a sleigh on the 6th of January, 18C5, in Kighth
avenue, near its junction with One-huudrad-and-twenty-nlth

The counsel for the plaintiff claims that the
rielcndant, who is a i:on iu-!aw of Commodoro
Vanderbilt, ot the time In question kept and
drove very last horses, and that when the acci
dent occurred he was driving his team up the
avenue ut nn unlawful rate of speed. This Is
denied by the defendant and the witnesses who
testified on bis bchalt.

THE NAVAL RACE.
Xbe Contest Abandoned In Consequence
01 n niurm.
The Ti'inoosfcf returned to the Navy Yard at
hall-past 12 o'clock to-aay. The race was aban
doned last night, on account of the storm on the
t-ouud, when the Whioosli had made three com
plete heats, and was lust sixty-tive miles ahead
ol the Algonquin, and gaining at the rate of two
and one halt knots per hour. At s o'ciock mis
11101 lfinc both vessels smarted for New York, and
in three hours the IV inooski ran the Algonquin
out ol slht from her mastheads.
The, inooski made twenty-one and a half
tunu per minute, with thiriy-tive pounds of
stenn).
The Alqonqum probably made seventeen turns.
The following are the particulars of the race:
On Tucsdav. 13th instant, the Winooski aud
Alqonqum weie reported ready, and at 11 '411 A.
M.'tiie (ovnier vessel weighed her anchor and
left the Navy Yard, followed in a few minutes
afterwards bv the Algonquin. At fifty-five min
utes past noon the W inooski passed through Hell
Gate, and at 150 P.M. passed Fort Schuyler.
and entered a large ncia 01 noauug ice, wnicn
was jammed between tiie shores.
At thirty-Bve minutes past l ociock too
Winooski arrived off Execution Rock, lying in
the middle of tho Sound, and abreast of baud's
Point; and as the A'ljonquin was several miles
aleru, turned around to join her. At 2'50 the
Algonquin came up and passed ahead. At four
minutes belore 3 o'clock signal was made for her
to 'go ahead" at full speed. The Winooski'g
engines, were also started, and at seventeen
minutes past 8 o'clock the passed the Algonquin;
the Winoo8kP8 paddles making twenty-two revo
lutions per minute, with thirty-five pounds pres
sure of steam. At 11-40 tho Algonquin came in
sight, and at 12'00 P. M. signals were exchanged.
A severo storm set in, and the Winooski came
out ahead.
Tho average speed of tho TJ'inoosW during the
trial was 12 knots, or 11 statute miles per hour,
and that of the Algonquin was ttj knots or 11
s-tatute miles per hour. As the vessels were
identical, the power developed by the machinery
vi as in the ratio of the cube of their speed: that
is to say, the machinery of the Winooski de
veloped lust twice the power of that of tho
Algonquin.-N. Y. 1 ning Font, 15i.
Tne"AlkVialu" Account. '
The United States sf earner Algouquin left tho
Brooklyn Navy laru on Tucaday last, February
1:1. at l i-iiu A. M.. and after a ranld run arrived
oft Sands Point, at which place we found tho
U'inoosJ't anxiously uwaitinj; for our appear
ance. Commander uuuaoiu immediately sig
nalled tho Winooski, aklugifor instruction.
when be received ordeis to io "ahead" under
full power.
TIIE 8TABT
was accomplished precisely at 3 o'clock P. M.,
but owlmr to a in undemanding, the Wi
noosli was allowed to gain a considerable ad
vantage over the Alaowiuin. It was uudersriod
bv the civil pneineeir, in charce of the Ainon
rmii, that as soon as Ftie arrived at Sands Point
the vessel was to anchor, haul fires, aud at a
given signal botk vcisels were to get under
weigh stniultaneouslv. Consequently, the en
gineers of the Algonquin allowed the steam to
run down, in order to Live them an opportunity
to mit the enemies m a nroper trim: but on
teeinirthe order from Curtain Cooper, command
ing the Winooski, to go ahead, word was passed
to Mr. Underbill to start his engines under as
full a pressure as he conld get, which was only
68 pounds. On the other hand, the Winooski
vas ail ready und r a full head of steam, regn
lat ly "bottled up," and at the word "(to" bounded
off like a race-horse, and in less than ten minutes
left ps clean astern. Much enthusiasm was lnanl
1 etd by those on board of the Winooski, when
she was passing us. while on board of the Algon
quin much dissatisfaction was evinced at the
manner in which the start was e Hooted and
the Winooski allowed to gain such an advan
tage. Immediately after the Winooski had
passed us, the log was hove, and it was found
that under the email pressure of steam we
were only running 8 knots, while it was con
sidered by competent fudges that the TVinoosW,
under a full pressure, was making 12 knots easy,
ln a short time the log was as;aln hove, when
we found that we increased our fpeed to 114
knots with 63 pounds of steam, and making 18$
revolutions per minute; but the Winooski
steadily widened the distance between u, and
at about 6 P. M. she was about 6 triles ahead,
with a pood chance of Increasing the distance,
when on again heaving tho log, it was found that
we were making 12 knots with 19 revolutions
per minute. Kverything was working to the
greatest satisfaction, and treat hopes were
entertained of our Lcinar able to overtake our
swift looted opponent, when the counter-balance
to the ecccntilo broke, and let tho weleht
fnll so ns to be of no further use. This, added
to onr previous misfortune, caused a great
change to take place in the minds of those who
previously entertained some idea of being able
to overtake the Winooski. At dusk, set the usual
rum ing lights, with the addition of two red
ones at the fore crosftrees; this precaution was
for the purpose of enabling vessels who were
steering in our track to Keen clear ol the racers.
M 8 P. M. 'we completely lost sight of the
Winooski, we supposing that sho had rounded
Fsulkncr'B Inland, and had passed us on her re
turn 10 Sands Point. At 850 P. M. made Faulk
ner's Island bearing west; having rounded it,
stond on our retuin course for the starling
point, engines making 18 revolutions
per minute, with 64 pounds of steam,
vessel gointr throush the water at the
rate ol 124 kuots per hour. Every one on
board was surprised at not seeing our opponent,
and many came to the conclusion that the Wi
tiootki bad played a Yankee trick on us, and had
'cut oil" Feme part of he distance by net round
ing Faulkner's Uland; bnt, tho majority ot 11s
believed that tho Winooski was twenty miles
ahead of us, and was well on her return from
(Sands Point. Hove the log and found her run
ning twelve knots, but steering so wild tnat we
were losing at least one and a half knots on our
course every hour. Everything seemed to con
spire against us; thecompnsses would nottrtvel.
and consequently no reliance could be placed
on them. Tho Wmooski, in this respect, hud
every possible advantage over us, she having
bad her compasses adjusted some days previous,
whilo the Algonquin was denied the chance of
doing eo.
Wepnepday, February 14, l'HO A. M. Passed
the W moot ki, bho on her way back to Sands
Point, and supposed her to be 24 miles ahead.
4 A. M. Our teed pump refused to wort, and
weie obliged to use the auxiliary pumps to
6tipply boilers.
2'40 A. M. Stopped the engines through the
mistake ol the pilot, who ordered two bells to
be rung instead ot two whistles, which was to
warn a schooner riirht ahead of us.
8 A. M. Winooski passed us on the star
board hand, she beinar about 30 miles ahead.
Kvcrythine worked well, but shio steering
wildly, It being impossible to keep her on a
true course.
12 M. The steam fprina-grjujo gave out, and
strained the Marboard paddle-wheel; aNo car
rjinsr away two buckets from it. Ship still
not answering her helm. Barometer com
menced falling rapidly, and the weather having
evei'J appearance of becominfr rather unpropi
tious, " ' . . .
6 . M. Passed the Winooski on her return
from rounding Faulkner's Island, sue being about
44 miles ahead.
At abcut dusk it commenced to set in very
thick and. squallv. with rain, and the pilot ex
pressed great doubts as to whether he could be
able to continue the race, he having lot all bear
ings for a short tune, and totally uaaoio to steer
by the compass in consequence of the ship
yawing" so niucn.
At 8 P. M. it was blowing a gale, with a
dense fog, and the pilot refused to run the eWp
on her course.
8'30 P. M. Bore awav for New Haven, whore
we came to anchor, weather still continuing bad.
All duriue the nmht it continued to blow tun-
ously, "with heavy rain, accompanied by thunder
and lightning. '
Thursday. February 15. At 0 '15 A. M. hove
up anchor aud pot 1 under way, and steered lor
the race-course, it stm biowine tresn, witn rain,
but clear; hove the log and found her to be run
ning 11 knots with the wind abeam; engines
making i revolutions per minuie. ,
730 A. M. Passed the Winooski steerine to
the eastward; at 740 the W inooski turned round
and steeled for us, and commenced making tele
graphic signals to us, whicn, on being under
stood, we i'ound that she wished1 to know at
wfcat ,speeo we were running, wnicn we an
swered, viz., 11 knot". She aeain signalled as to
whether we anchored last night, wnicn tney were
infoimed that we had, when Captain Cooper, of
the Wmooski, ordered us t" proceed to the Navy
l ard, whicn, ot course, was immediately ODeyea,
and the purpose of the race abandoned. Mr.
Underbill (Mr. Forbes' chief engineer! asserts
that as far as the contract for the engines call
lor, even thing that has been claimed lor
iheni has been obtained, the Algonquin having
aversged 11 knots with great economy of fuel.
One tling is very certain, that if the Algonquin
weie allowed the same opportunity of preparing
so extensively, and had been provided with cor
rectly adjusted compasses, the Winooski would
not have been able to leave her so far astern.
However, it is to bo hoped that the long-vexed
question between Messrs. Isherwood and Uicker
son is final Iv and forever se tied.
We appeud an abstract from the steam loar of
the Algonquin, together with a Copy of the letter
ot instructions irom jur. oroes to Mr. under

the movements of his engine during the trial:

New York, Febriiary 9, I860. N. B. Under
bill, Engineer on board the steamer Algonquin.
Sir: ln the trial between the Algonquin and
Winooski, which is about to be made, you are to
act as engiueer in the management of the en
sines of tho Algonquin. My only instructions to
vou are to do the best you can with the engines
without exposing them to injury of any kind.
You must not strain them iu any way, but keep
them up ouly to a sate maximum power, with
out relerenee to the W inooski. Whether she is
uhed or astern should not iuiluence yon at all,
except tbut, iu the event of your being ahead,
you had better ease your engines to a very safe
point. ' ,
, It will require seventy hours at least, and you
will thua see the necessity of not straluing it in
any way, .
Although a good deal is said about the race, I
do not consider it necessary for the Algonquin
to do more than to show the maximum power of
her engine under a st)e pressure of steam.
It is desirable that you should keep an exact
account of the coal couwuined. Respectfully,
jour friend, P. Fobbks.
1 certify the foregoing to be a correct copy.

Bureau, yesterday made an important decision
relative to the claim of an ex-Rebel soldier for
land bounty, on the ground that he had ren
dered military service to the Government In the
war of 1812. The Commissioner very justly
decided that by his participation in a war
against the Union he had forfeited his titlo fto
any awards for services prior to the Rebellion
CONGRESS.

The Stoby of a I'Iamosd Rixo. Somo
days sinco a than named James Hamm, being
desirous of "rairtiiia iho wind," fried to sell a
diamond ring valued at $1'0. Tie fonlidod said
ring to tho care ot an individual named John
Scott, who promised to sell it on advantageous
terms. "The twain proceeded down town, and
entered a house whoro Scott said he conld dis
pose of the ring. Instead of doing so, Scott
watched his chance, and jumping out of a
window, made off as fast as his legs would
carry him, taking tho riug with him in his
fligh'i.
Scott was lost to view until last evening about
seven o'clock, when Hamm came across tho
peoudo salesman in the neighborhood of Seventh
ana unesnut streets, rue siimecr 01 tne riug,
flight, etc., wns, of course, quickly . brought up
by Hamai, but the only satisluction he. obtained
w'as a violent assault at the hands of Scott.
II am in was knocked down, and would probably
bave been seriously injured, but at the critical
moment he drw forth a pistol and fired at Lis
antagonist. The only effect ot the shot, how
ever was to attract the attention of the Reserve
police, who, quickly coming np, took both
parties into custody, and a hearing will be held
in the case this afternoon.
An Obiginal Method of Living ok
the Fat of thh Lakd. Edward Brice is an
Enclishtnan, and has been Hying after rather au
original fashion. It turns out that for five years
past he has been in the habit of going around
among cleigymen and different charitable insti
tutions, and representing himself and family to
be in distressed circumstances, would solicit aid.
Hie story was alwpys of a plausible character,
and he succeeded in gcttinc considerable money.
All thinps must have an end, and Brice's metuod
of jiving is no exception to this general rule, for
he wus Keen in the market buying all sorts of
delicacies venison, chickens, and the best that'
could be had of everything. A further investi
gation developed the fact that he was "living
like a tigtting cock," with his laoailv, at No. 703
Christian street, where he was arrested, and
utter a hesrinar this morniug before Alderman
Hurley, he was committed.
