Yachts and Yachting —The last ice of the Delaware has melted or gone down to the sea, and the fresh winds of Spring now play npon its wa ters. Those who lotb aquatic sports do not suffer a season to pass without enjojing the pursuits in cident to them. They have oiled their skates and put them up for the year; they are dastln”-their tarpaulins and brushing their jackets, preparatory for a spring campaign on the waters of the Dela ware. In New Tork and Boston, as well as Eng land and Canada, yachting is something more than a mere scrub-race. It is a well-organized system. Feeling this want in Philadelphia, a number of geiftlemen have formed themselves into a Yacht Club, being a nucleus around which may grow seething worthy of our city. There are certainly enough yachts owned in Philadelphia, if brought within therules of central organization, to compare favorable with either New Yajjkor Boston Yacht Clubs. Over one hundred members, soi&e-pf them onr first business men, have formed a society, the object of witch is the encouragement oi yacht building and sailing in Delaware Elver and Bay. 'The funds of the club (after paying the necessary current expenses), will be appropriated to tba puichasing of enps to be sailed for by the yachts, of the menfbers only, under the sail ing regulations of the association. Five or six re gattas will be given during the coming season. Two new elegant yaehts are now bnilding for the club; Messrs. Luffberry & Brother are bnilding a mngnifloent yacht for a young gentleman of this city, and member of the . It will be 46 feet long, 14 ieet beafo, and will,cost' about S 3, 000. Arrangements are now afoot through the enterprise and worthy spirit of Mr. John Hutchinson, the supiSSntendent, with the West Jersey Ferry Company, to build a fine house for the club. _ An elegint room on Walnut street is also fitted up with all the modern .conveniences, for the use of the members during the winter season.

Tbe action was to recover six months’ arrears ($285) of a yearlw ground rent of 5750 • ’lawful silver money of the United Stales of America, each dot ar weighing seventeen penny weights and-six grains at least The defendants pleaded a tender of the amount 'in lawlnl money of the United States, to which tba plaintiff replied that they did not tender in silver dollars but in United States Treasury notes, which were of forty per cent, less exchangeable value tbßn the said silver dollars. Tho defendants de murred specially to this replication, averring that the notes so tendered wexo lawful money and a legal lender in payment of the said debt. Tba Court recently ordered a reargument of the case on. tee point whether the covenant to pay in silver dollars of a certain weight was fulfilled by tba tender abeve mentioned, it having been already decided that tbe act of Congress making them a! legal tender in payment of all debts is constitu uonal.
