Loring and Fay, of the:Harvard crew, arrived in this city yes teiday,and would have been publicly'received bad they not preferred to await the arrival of Simmons'and Lyman, who are expected'from England in ten or twelve days.: A special cor respondent of the Boston, .grening Tinies tamed' a long statement froth Mr. Loring,' which is published this evening, and contains many facts of interest which have not been made 'public. The account is in the form 'of an4n4rview, and the material , portions are _ below. The correspondent opened with -•• • • - . i ; elKr:l e oTing, ,I suppose . that the `.crew en- Countereita very different state of ,things; ,as fat- US related to preparing` for the race, in Englandi from what. you were accustentect, at borne.'.. . "Yeti,' the crew missed the old boat-house' at • Caminidge'very much: On the ! Charles. .we had been able to row naked whenpracticing, if desirable, and we always rowed naked from the waist up. 'This plan of. - rowing .prevents excessive perspiration. We could, also lie upOn*.the plattorm, outside the boat-lictuse, mid' take sun-batbs.—: , rery gooirthings. England the crew enjoyed no privacy of this. kind Whatever. Owing to the 'number of boats . continually on the river, and, the., closeness with which . we were 'Watched; we were forced to. wear Shirts when rowing, which was very uncomfortable, and to sonic extent prejudicial. The shirts carried' the men to" perspire more than they would have at home in a single row, and tints took of their fiesliTaster than Ithought fOrat, first., The shirts also absorbed the perspira- Iron, and, becoming wet, clung to,•the skirt, and clammy perspiration is a dangerous as well as unpleasant thing. 'When we,returned ftoni a row, especially at low tide, when the boat had to be'earried to the boahouse over, the fiats, there would be two rows of people on eiteh side of their path and the most ridiculous remarks would be made about them. Never be fore7---even when reading Blaikie's' Jenkins reports in the papers, had the crew been so freely enlightened - . as to their various pecu liarities of appearance. At home we had been accustomed to take a salt •water bath as soon as we got out of the boat, and thus wash the perspiration off at once. In England we couldn't get, a bath until our arrival in our house, quite a little distance away from' the end of - the row, and often our shirts would get quite cold and we quite chilly before we could bkAheni oft This was not only inconvenient, ut really bad." • Mr. Loring said that the first effect of the English climate upon him and his crew was to make them oppressed with lassitude. They did not feel anxious for their work as they had at borne; anti felt a disposition to sit still and do nothing. It was several days before, this feel ing perceptibly went away. 'Messrs. Fay and Lyrnan were troubled the same way when they came over three weeks afterand were tirstput into the boat. The dampness of the climate rendered the Americans very liable to catch egN . _after a row, before they could get to their (rters and change their clothes. , . . . "Our crew did not have vegetarian' diet by any means. They were allowed to have as much. beef and mutton as they desired, and at every meal if. they liked. They had fruits and vegetables in' due - preportion, and milk.to dnnk"Wlien it \Vas good, but that was seldom. They were also allowed to drink tea to warm them when chilled. None of the crew drank or smoked,.all feeling satisfied—Mr. 'Simmons from actual trial-,that both tobacco and ale injured the physical condition. There was a story at one time that the crew, in imitation of the Oxfords, had taken to drinking ale. It came from the fact that a barrel of ale was procured for the entertainment of their friends." THE BTART AT THE RACE. " Wkat 'was your reason for rowing so rapidly at the start-46 strokes a minute, 1 be lieve ? " Oh, that is the American way of rowing, that's all. ' ..lAy idea was that if we got a lead at the first it would encourage my creme• and discourage the Oxfords. The pace was not so very great, nor Was it designed to be kept up. As soon as we got our lead we sank to 43 strokes a minute, just enough to maintain our lead. It is,very discouraging to run a stern race, and it told on the Oxfords. When we got to Hammersmith Bridge they looked pretty sunken about the mouth, and were rather used up." "Then you don't believe hi the theory that you did not, gauge your strength aright, and tired yourselves out early in the race by row ing too fast at first?" "I think we lasted pretty well when we led them for two miles anti a half. "Was Mr. Burnham's steering the cause of much delay "We lostsomething by one. or two mistakes be made ; but it is unjust .to blame him. He steered very well indeed, considering every thing, and we shouldn't make asea,pe-goat of "A great deal has been said in regard to his hot giving Oxford your wash when you led them." I ordered hint not to. Some time previous to the race I ' bad an interview with Mr. Willan; and I propoSed to him that such trick as these savored too much of jockeyism, and should not be practiced in a few between gen tlemen. He said that it was not very gentle manly, and I resolved - that we, above all things, should-behave so that the most cap•:l tious could not' find fault. \' If we should win the race I didn't - want to hate it flung in our, teeth that we won the race by any dodges of that kind." o.llord_seem, then, to have changed their minds about gentlemanly behavior in a rare after your interview with Mr. 'Milan ?", ~Y es; they evidently aid. There is no doubt that their superior knowledge of the river— its eddies and currents--were of advantage to them. They.knew the river by heart; we had only learned its outlines." - "Were the Harvards so exhausted that Burnham - Was obliged to delay the. boat. to dash water over you to revive yon , ?" "No; that, was not the reason. I had hill' splash water. over us to refresh us, because wished to employ every means to nve us ad ditional Spirit. It did not delay theboat at all. It was the simplest thing possible to any one acquainted' with Where the coxswain sits. It helpedus, yegy much, alad_wEi:palled better." -- “wiLL — rim-o4aluas-coart• "I. hardly . think they, will," said Mr., Loring. ''lt is a saying. among sportriMen that a party that has won one match is not obliged to go to the Other party's .ground until they have been beaten - on their own ground:^r I believe the Oxfords will abide by this doctrine. If lye Wish to row them again we must go over. there. • They May offer to come here them selves; we canuottell. But wo cannot claim it as a right ; onlyas a favor." "Would • they row without • cox.swalue if they Should come over here?" • "'That remaißs to be seen." ENGLISH coltnotAtarv. "The En glish are very kind indeed, and Tom. Hughes,, Charles - Heade, and others, seemed much interested in our endeavors. \Ve felt a little sore about the behavior of the Oxfords wheri`we first' arrived:4 4 - They did not send any one to.meetns, nor d i ed they send to see us forohnie, , time, • We think that if they. had come this eohntry, wo' voOld have kind some Inc. to meet thermat the wharf and show-. them hospitable titteritiens. 4' However, we (lid not care much."' 4' THE ENGLAH CLI.3tATE, ILARVARDS' DIET THE tiTEERINII THE SHOWER.

Ills Announcement of the Sale of the Knoxville Whig. • . [From the Knoxville ( Tenn.) Whig, of Sept. 14.] Having founded the Whig in the Spring of 189, I have been its chief editorand publisher for a 'term extending through thirty years•-• first at Elizabethtou next at Jonesboro', and for the last • twenty years at Knox Ville . health and other engagements render it impracticable • for me longer to look _after the buSiness interests of the office. I have, therefore,sold• my entire interest in the Whig, and henceforth I own no part of any newspaper establishment in this State or elsewhere. Thepublication of the Whig will be continued' under a new • organization ; but by whom it will be pub, lished and edited lam unable to say. I have the assurance, however, that it be con tinued as a Republican journal, advocating the principles and policy of the Republican party, and rendering a cordial support.to Gen. Grout and his administration. I may add that my chief, if not my only hope for the stability of. the Government, the maintenance of Republican institutions—in which alone true , liberty is found—and the real welfare and. development of the country, lies in the perpetuity of the Republican party. I have no confidence in the corrnpt,distracted and discordant organization called the Demo cratic Party. It has ever been the enemy of liberty, progress and 'civilization, and it has cost the nation more blood and treasure 'and suffering than any other one cause, if not than all others combined. And further, it is pertinent to say that so many in. Tennessee who were at one time the most outspoken Union men, have proved un true, and haVe turned back to the "flesh pots of Egypt," betraying the too generouS friends who had warmed them \into life, that I can only ask, that the Republicans of the nation will trust Tennessee politicians as far as -- they prove themselves trustworthy, and no further. ln this remark it is not intended to say that aIL Tennessee politicians aro untrue or un trnAworthy..
