AQUATICS.
Yacht Race Between Mr. Bennett's
Dauntless and Air. Dtcltorsoa'a Fleur
de LU.
An important race lately came off between
these two yachts, in which the Flour de Lis
proved herself the best boat, at least In a light
wind. The Dauntless is M2 tons, and tne Fleur
de Dis Do tons, schooner rigged. They happened
to be together at anchor In New Loudon harbor
on Monday morning lust. There had been no
communication between the owners and their
respective crews, and theretore neither knew
where the other was bound; In faot, both were
on a cruise with pleasure pxriies on board.
At daylight on Tuesduy inoruing the Daunt
less weighed anchor, and made way for New
York. About three hours afterwarks, Mr.
Dlckerson made chase, passing the Pequot
House about 8 A. M. In the meantime tne
Dauntless having started with the last of the
ebb tide; on approaching Fisher's Island, lost
her wind, and drifted Into the race, flghtluc
that terrible current until the young flood,
aided by a )iht breeze trout the west, brought
her up to Gull Island oa her starboard tack,
pointing for the mouth of the Connecticut
river. At this time tne Dauntless was fully
Ave wiles dead to wiudward ahead of the Fleur
de Lis.
It was evident from tbo movements on board
that at this Juncture the race commenced, for
simultaneously both foretopsails went aloft,
and Prooriss never wooed more earnestly tne
breezes than did both yachts. In an hour's
time It was evident that the Flenr de Lis was
sailing closer to the wind than the Dauntless,
though not passing so rapidly through the
water, for the smaller yacht ha1 made tho big
one look twice as large in that time. Mr. Ben
nett seemed now to be fully impressed with the
idea that things could not go on in that way
very long wllnout reslnluii the victory go up
went his enormous stay Hail. The effect was
like the hitsh upon a blooded steed, and the
Flour de Lis was left as if at anchor.
This was but for a moment, however, for in
the twinkling of a glbboom the modest oauvas
Of the Fleur de Lis showed its graceful lines
between the maNtbeads, and then It was that a
tow-line seemed Btretohed from one yacht to
the other. Another hour passed, and the Daunt
less being uuabie to weather Faulkland Island
Light, was compelled to go about. The Fleur
de Lis, on the other hand, bad eaten up Into the
wind enough to weather the light, and did not
go about for more than twenty minutes. Finally
she did so, and then the excitement began,
both yachts trying their best, and each trying
to cross the other's bow.
Borne twenty minutes of uncertainty passed,
until at last the magnificent Dauntless, seem
ing to be ashamed of being weathered by so
mall a rival, bounded along as if propelled by
some favorable breeze gotten up for the occa
sion, and passed a cable's length ahead of the
Fleur de Lis. As she passed, all on deck gazed
earnestly, but said nothing; neither yacht tired
a gun, one perhaps actuated by magnanimity
and the other by chagrin, but neither magna
nimity nor chagrin could ohange the result, for
the plucky Fleur de LiM went abouton her star
board tack, right in the track of her opponent,
and then it was that she again showed her
superiority In pointing and holding In, for
when night fell the Dauntless was a mile to
leeward. The wind was light and dead ahead,
and from that time till daylight It was almost a
calm. When the mist raised, the sea was
smooth as a mirror, In which both vesselB,
close by each other, seemed, like rival beauties,
to be making their morning toilets.

COLLISION IN THE NORTH RIVER.
A Steamer Runs Down a Pleasure Yacht
One Person Drowned.
As Officer James Brown, of the Ninth Pre
cinct, was patrolling West street, near Hank, at
2'80 o'clock yesterday morning, and Just after
the severe atorm which prevailed during the
night, be heard a cry for assistance, lie re
sponded by running down the dock at the foot
of Fourteenth street, and found a small yaoht
lying on her beam ends in the stream. The
othoer Immediately procured the assistance of
pome boatmen and proceeded to tbe soeneof
the wreck, when he ascertained that the yacht
bad been anchored and evidently run down by
some passing steamer, as her side was stove In
so that she conld not be righted. No person was
on board, but the officer fonnd a linen coat
lying on the deck, which he brought to the
Charles Htreet Police Rtatlon for Identification.
During yesterday afternoon some further de
tails were obtained, when the passengers on
board tbe steamer James W. Baldwin, from
Koundout, informed the Fifth Precinct Police
that the steamer had collided with and run
down the pleasure yacht Lady Klernan, while
off tbe Elystan Fields, and tbe persons on board
the yacht bad been hurled into the water, some
being rescued. Captain Petty Immediately took
measures to secure the arrest of the officers of
the steamer. One of the pilots, named James
Van Ftan, was taken into custody during the
forenoon and locked up in the Leonard street
station house. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon
the principal pilot, William Mosher, was also
arrested and held for examination.
Tbe statements made by these pilots is to the
effect that tbe yacht had no lights aboard, and
tli ey could not distinguish her outlines owing
to the darkness, but as soon as they were aware
of her proximity, they made all possible en
deavors to avoid a collision. It has also been
ascertained tbat there were thirteen persona
on board the yacht, and the majority of these
succeeded in climbing over the bow ot the
steamer to a place of safety. Tbe remainder,
with the exception of George MoAUtster, were
rescued by small boats which put out from tbe
Jersey shore, the body of Mr. McAllister not
having been recovered.
The supposition la that tbe excursionists on
board tbe yacht were partially intoxicated, or
at least those having charge of the deck. The
two pilots are still held in custody by the police,
though there seems to have been abundant
time for their arralenment before Justice Dow
ling at tbe Tombs Police Court. The owners of
the line offered to produce any amount of ball,
in order to secure the release of their pilots,

THE MOUNT DESERT DROWNING.
A Pleasure Party of Eight Drowned
While on an Excursion Particular
of the Sad Dlaaster.
Mount Dbskrt, Me., July 25. This little sea
port town has been suddenly overspread witi
grief at a disaster which took place in Bar har
bor yesterday afternoon, A party of pleasure
excursionists saUed down the harbor in the
middle of the day with a favorable wind. There
were two' boats, one of which contained a party
of eight, and the other a party ot ten. The boat
conveying tbe smaller party was capsized by a
squall while passing Egg Rock, In the
centre of Frenchman's bay. There was a
high sea running at the time, and the frail
boat aad tbe unfortunate passengers were
almost immediately swallowed up. Only one
of the whole pnrty was saved Miss Julia Blake,
of Fraculngham, Mass. Those who were lost,
as the telegraph lias staled, were Kev. R. O.
Chase and wife, Miss Haupt, Miss Tazewell, and
Josiah Harmar, all of Philadelphia; Francis T.
Clark and wife, of Framingham, Mass., and
Captain C. Robinson, of Tremont, Me. Only
one of the bodies of the drowned was recovered,
although every effort was made by the parties
who witnessed the disaster to save them before
and after death. Miss Blake was saved by cling
ing to an oar, and was unconscious when res
cued. Hhe Is belug kindly cared lor by tho citi
zens here.
Rev. Mr. Chase was a man of rare social quali
ties, and bad won many friends during his brief
sojourn bere. He was pastor of the St. Matthias
Episcopal Church of Philadelphia. Mr. Clark
was cashier of the Framingham (Mass.) Na
tional Bank, and both.be and bis wife were
among the most respectable and highly es
teemed residents of the town. Mr. Harmer
was a nephew of ex-Benator Foster of Connec
ticut, and a well-known lawyer of Philadel
phia. His mother and a brother, who were stop
ping here with him, have of course been
plunged into the deepest grief, and the whole
town la sad and mournful. It is not probable
that any of the bodies will be recovered.
EQUAL RIGHTS.
Letter from John Stuart Mill, II. P.
The editor of the AntirJilavtry Standird has
received tho following letter from John Stuart
Mill:
Blackheath Pare, Kent. July 1 Dear Bin
In acknowledging your letter of February 18,
I am ashamed to see bow long that acknow
ledgment has been delayed. Your letter arrived
in the thick of tbe Parliamentary conflict, and
I have ever since been ao fully and engrossiogly
occupied that I have had no time to write auy
letters but such as were indispensable, nor had
I leisure to write anything which would have
been worth offering to be laid before the anni
versary meeting of the Equal Rights Associa
tion. Bince that time, however, many things
have happened, and among others the debate
IntbeHouseor Commons on the motion for
Klvinar the suffrage to women. The unex
pectedly large minority which the proposal
obtained, and tne thought and discussion
which. It excited in quarters where the subject
bad never been thought of before, have given
an immense Impulse to the question. Num
bers, both of men and women, in all ranks,
have since given in their adhesion to the move
ment: and agreement with it Is rapidly becom
ing a badge of advanced liberalism.
1 need not aay with what pleusure 1 learned,
both from your letter and from many other
sources, the great progress which the question
is making in tbe United States, where the disa
bilities of women are now the only remaining
nadonal violation of tbe principles of your im
mortal Declaration of Independence; nor need
I desorlbe tbe feelings caused in me by the as
surance of yourself and others that the essay
published in tbe Wettmintter Review in 1851 baa
been in America, as it has been here, one of the
most powerful agents in placing the question In
tbe position it now occupies.
I am, dear air, yours sluoerely and respeot-

Tbe counties situated along the line of the
projected Norfolk and Great Western Railroad
are beginning to take a very active interest In
its success. The people have been lavish in
their contributions of land, and are gradually
coming to see the propriety of the reduction
of their large landed estates into smaller and
more compact farms. Tbe projected railroad
is tbe great object of discussion, many believing
that, without its agency, the untold resources
of tbe West Virginia counties can never be
developed, or that Importance and value given
to many species of property which are now
worthless without it.

THE PRESIDENCY.
Curloue Story Abont General Grant and
a Massachusetts Politician The Gene
ral's Movements Watched by a Detec
tive. Washikotow, Febtuary 26. A curious atory
baa come to light to-day relative to Uouerat
Grant, a Washington detective, and a very well
known Massachusetts politician. If true, it
developes a most extraordinary plan, con
cocted oy an enemy of Oeneral Grant, to ferret
out something to the disadvantage of that dis
tinguished commander. The story Is to the
eff ect that the General has recently discovered
that he has been watched by a detective
wherever he goes whether at the thoatre, on a
drive in the country, or about town, or in
the railroad train. It is said this detective has
been on his traok watching him closely, and
afterwards reported progress to the Massachu
setts polltloian. whose name shall not be men
tioned. Recently General Grant paid several
visits to the National Theatre here, and the de
tective was seen prowling about. General Grant
started for West Point, and the detective was
found in tbe train. The General some time
after started for New York, and the detective
was again in the train, and on the track of the
General during his movements about the
metropolis. One night while In New York
Generul Grant left his hotel for a drive, and was
followed in a carriage by the detective. He re
turned hastily to Washington, in obedience
to a summons from the Judiciary Com
mittee, and the detective followed him to
this city, where. Immediately on his arri
val, he (the detective) repaired to the
bouse of the Massachusetts politician to report
progress, as is alleged. The movements of this
detective becoming known to him. General
Grant sent for him, and asked him Dy what
authority he watched his movements, and
who employed him in such strange business.
The detective promptly answered that the
General was mistaken aa to his movements;
that he (the detective) was employed in no such
work, but simply on private business, hunting
up testimony for a Congressional committee
recently appointed, and tbat the fact that he
(the detective) happened to be in the same
train with, and ao near the General on several
occasions, was purely accidental.
I am Informed, however, tbat the same politi
cian from Massachusetts, who held a high com
mission in the army during the war. Is supposed
by General Grant to bave resorted to the same
species of spying over his (General Grant's)
movements while in command of the army,
and that be thus kept himself posted in every
thing transpiring at headquarters. It may be
that tbe affair la somewhat exaggerated, but I
think not. The object, supposing my informa
tion to be correct, la undoubtedly to hunt up
aomething derogatory to General Grant, to be

Mr. J. P. Whitney, of the Colorado Register,
having paid a visit to the Bank of England,
describes the interior of that esteblhshmotit aa
follows: 1
'I KM In the vaults of the Bftnkof Hnpland to-day.
Ordinarily. U is dnllcult to gain ad 111 Union, a pass
from tlie Governor of tue Bank and tlie acoouipanl
ment of a director being required; but knowing aa
old olllclal I waa ushered through tbeae Vault widen
remilale tue commorce of the world. I saw more
soldiuan you or I will probably ever possess, three
times more than Colorado nas yet given but a small
tieiwuluse ot wuat li will 1 was told nearly
000 U). I shown one bill of 1,000,000 wnich
had been Ise'ied: also, a numbsrof the tirst sorlea of
bills cvor iHsued by tbe bunk; also, one bill which bad
been received wltblu a short lime by the bank, which
bad been out one hundred aud ten years, the baneiu
udou which at lour por oeut. Interest had brouKhtto
the bank a profit of tiHH). The Bauk or KnKland
never losuee a bill a eeueud time. U a bran new bill
utied Is returned by way of business to-day, it uever
ues out atralu, but Is put lu the Vaults,
and ' aner aix year la destreycMl. I was tol l
Uial bills amounting to ta.Ooe.eoo.OOO. nearly
the debt of EaK'aud aud more than that of thetJuitad
Htates, were now accumulated for detitruutioa. Afy old
friend walked backward while taking- me tbroiif li
the vaulM. keeplug hie ey entirely upoi. me, though
Indulging in very asreeulile conversation, and I was
vw aiuch relieved wuta ks frjld tut it was Ui qu-
tom, and not a particular motive In mv Instance, I
saw a very Ingenious machine, fourteen of wli'ch
were la operation, for weighing- sovereigns, which
was so arranged, being fed by a honper, as to throw
upon one side the coins which wore of full wnlirht,
throwing upon the other those coins which by ahra
imo bad become reduced, which by another machine
were cut upon the face, and which were never asata
SPtit out, but were recoined Into piece of full weight.
Pome six hundred people are employed In the hank,
which manufactures Its own paper, does its printing,
rolulng, ete. It operations are considerable, and
Somewhat exceed those of tbe Branch Mint at Den
ver. ISy-Uie-wev. the Bank of France ha at the pre
sent time the largest amount of coiu evor held In Its
vanlU, probably the largest mm ever held by any
bank or Government at on time, amounting to
lMi.OO.fOO. rutting that of the Bang ot France and
ofEnghmd together, and w have a very respectable
mo. We laaydraw upon either with perfect con
eece." The subjoined letter from the Secretary of
the Treasury relates to the conversion of Seven
thirty notes:
Tkkasuby DriRTtNT, July 19. Sir t am in
receipt of your letter ol the Iflth instant, asking autho
rity to receive August Beven-thlrllm for conversion
op to and Including the 16th day ot August next, t
apprehend one fact Is not generally understood, and
that Is that the department now makes all tbeae con
versions in one uniform way, as If tbe notes had been
presented on tbe 1st of the present month. In all
caxes drafts for the amount of interest aacrned on the
not ex to that date are returned with bonds bearing;
Interest from tbat date Inclusive. Consequently no
delay In presenting the notes can be of advnnlnge to
the holder, and, in this view, I trust the tlmo already
given will be funnd adequate to the presentation of
tbe entire Issue. Very truly, yours,
