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 <gn>. 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.

COURTS.
fP-tYS—Justice Agnew.—Thornton Barnes
vs. Tbe Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Be
fore reported. The plaintiff commenced bis testi-’
mony ms morning. Tbe case will occupy several
days.
DieTaicr Ocrr.T—Judges Sharswdod, Stroud
arc Hare.—Mervine vs. Sailor. This ease, which
was before tbe Court at tee December term, came
np for reargunent yesterday. 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
