V. World.l The ship American Congress, whioh ar rived at tods port yesterday from London, imports havlng eeen a yacht some four hun dred and fifty miles from Sandy Hook, one hundred miles east of George’s Bank, off Nantucket, Maine, on toe morning of Tues day the 15tih. She was lying to under a balance reef mainsail and jib, with her head to the eastward, : She was not able to dis tinguish her nameor see her signals, if any, Otoe Henrietta would appear to un doubtedly be toe yacht seen thus. On leav ing Sandy Hook on toe llto she took an E. S.E., toe others taking a S, S. E. coarse. This;will readily account for toe other yaohts not being seen, as one day’s sailing on anch courses would place along distance between her and either the Fleetwing or toe Vesta. For toe first day or so that toe yaohta*were seen out toe weather was favorable, toe wind being with the Henrietta. Captain Richard, - of toe brig| Arabian, reported a few days since,it will be remembered toat on toe 13to hesighted a yacht displaying a bine flag, in latitude 40.30, longitude 60.56. It was argued from this that toeyaoht was toe Henrietta, and that she was making for the gulf stream, and a very wise thing to do. This newß “two days later” wouhf seem to lurtoer denote the yacht seen by Captain Richard to be toe same as that Been by toe American Congress, and she toe Henrietta to a dead certainty. Supposing her to have, on the evening of toe 13to, enoonntered the rough weather met by Captain Page, of toe American Congress, she could not have made much better way, and her position as described would appear not only a possible but a very probable one. As any matter relating to toe absent yachts must be of interest, we publish Cap tain Page’s statement. At 61 o’clock on the morning of toe 15th, while about one hundred and twenty miles east of George’s Bank, We observed a yacht which we supposed to have come from New York. She appeared in sight suddenly, not having been previously discernible in toe heavy snow storm, which prevailed. A heavy gale was blowing at the time, but the yacht appeared to be ably managed. She was lying-to under a reef mainsail and jib. with her head to' toe eastward. Under toe circumstances, the seamanship displayed by her commander was excellent. Those on board who had seen toe Henri rietta supposed toe yacht before ns was that vessel, as she answered to her description. She had a short topmast, and was otherwise like toe Henrietta: When we first noticed toe yacht she was about three ship’s lengths from ns, while we were running at about eleven knots an hour. A collision at toe moment seemed almost inevitaole, hut we succeeded in passing her some distance. The chance at toe moment of her escaping been run down by us seemed very small indeed. There was no time to exchange signals or inquire toe name of toe vessel, as we were engaged in toe effort to dear the yacht and avoid a collision. Besides, the snow was blinding, and fell in flakes bo large and so thickly as to obstruct our vision. A terrific gale was blowing from the northeast at toe time. Had toe American Congress been as badly managed as toe steamer Scotland, toe loss of toe yacht, whichever she was, would have been a foregone conclusion. The steward of the ship American Con gress, who paid particular attention to the yacht, states that she was either toe Henri etta or toe Fleetwing. Those on board, he said, were engaged in toe attempt to pre vent a collision with toe American Con gresß. Hisbelief that toe vesselwasoneof the yaohts competingin the race from New York to the Isle of Wight, was confirmed by toe foot that no pilot boats, one of which she must otherwise have been, proceed out so far on the ocean. Up to the time the American Congress saw the yacht she had had some very rough weather. The cold was so intense several of her crew were badly frost bitten The gale in which she was in on Righting her was most terrifio and rough weather marked her passage from that time till she arrived at this pork From this it will be seen that no good, easy time has been spent by the adven tnrons yachtmen since leaving here, now tendays since. At the rate the yacht had gone, and meeting with ninnim weather, the passage, if made it all, and of that there are doubts could scarcely he effected iu less than thirty days from the date of sailing, or, in other words, they would npt reach the Needles much before the 10th of January. It 1b not, however, to be expected that the weather would continue for bo long a time .without some change. There is no question but that the other two yachts must have suffered more from the effects of the gale than the one seen by the American Congress, as from the course they took they would'have to stand its full fury. Det us hope that despite the antagonism of the elements they may have a very merry Christmas and a truly happy New Tear, and the latter not far away from their destination. A Heap of Money.— The war indemnity of twenty million thalers, paid by Austria to Prussia, was conveyed to Berlin in one railroad express train. The whole amount was paid in silver. It was loaded by the ton, and took twenty men six days to count it.

It consists of pyrophorus, wnioh is preserved in a small tin case, with anarrow orifice. When a small quantity of this dark powder is poured out on the end of the cigar and breathed on gently,it becomes incande scent, and lights the pipe or cigar.

Cortina, with five hundred men, and Ca nales, with about three hundred, left Mata moras on the evening of toe 13th, for Monterey, with toe view of taking part in the campaign in toe interior. Escobedo and staffleft on toe 17th suddenly, as it was supposed Minister Campbell was to profit by the general’s escort to Monterey to meet Juarez. The Minister and Mr. Plumb, his Secretaxy of Legation, are still here. On toe 17to, in toe evening, it was ru mored that Escobedo bad received intelli gence that Cortina and Canales had pro nounced against the Juarez government and in favor of Ortega, and yesterday a courier brought intelligence that Cortina and Canales had attacked 1 Escobedo fifty miles from Matamoras, and captured him, self and staff: Galveston, Dec. 21.—The escape of Gen eral Ortega from surveillance at Browns ville created much excitement, and would complicate affairs on toe frontier.- Canales and Cortina have left Matamoras for toe in terior to join in toe campaign. Escobedo left a few day subsequently, after annulling all the decrees promulgated by Mejia, Car vajal, and Canales.

Journal ,haa the following:— About the first of last August a man going by the name of P. W. Smith, came into this county, and since then has traveled from one place to another, stopping with the farmers generally and making himself quite agreeable during the long evenings. One of the places he had sometimes visited was George Ayers’ on Ayers Hill. On the night ©f December Ist (Saturday) he camejto the house of Mr. Ayers from Sinhemahon iDg, and took four silver table spoons, eight silver tea spoons, several yards of factory coat lining and satinet, with which he made tracks down the Sinne mahoning. As soon as the loss was discovered he was followed by Alfred Ayres and others, and met coming down the Kettle Creek. They took charge of him and the stolen articles, with the exception of a few which he had disposed of, and started across the mountain for home, when, in passing through a laurel thicket, Smith escaped, since when nothing has been heard or him. Smith is a man of medium height, slender and rather stooping, with dark hair and eyes and,a heavy dark mous tache, and altogether of a pious cast of countenance. Mr. Smith reads “Young’s Night Thoughts,” “Milton’s Paradise Lost,” &c., before breakfast. Our coun try friends will please take warning as they may receive a call from Mr. Smith or some of his friends.

This machine combines all the excellencies, bat none of the defects of other So wine Machines with which we are acquainted. The grei£ variety of work that can be accomplished by Its four different stitches, the reversible feed motion, the self adjusting tension, the rapidity and quality of the work done by It, clearly demands of ns the award of the Society’s highest premium—lts silver medal.” -At the HEW HAMPSHIRE STATE FAIR, held at Nashua, Sept. 1866, the “FLORENCE" was awarded the highest premium given to Sewing Mnj-hina. At the MECHANICS' ASSOCIATION FAIR, held In Boston. September, 1865, the “Florence” received a Sliver Medal and Diploma, together with all other hewing Machines on exhibition. At the late STATE FAXES of Pennsylvania. Ohio and California the Florence was awarded the highest premtam over all competitors. The verdict or the people Is unanimously In favor of the Florence on account of Its many advantages over all others. Must be seen to be appreciated. Caul at the office, 630 Chestnut Street.
