Senator Behjaxin’s term has hot expired. “ NOT DEAD! It appears 'that, after all, Luigi Labiache, literally, the giant of song, who was reported dead, is do more dead than the writer of these lines. - He-was; at Kisaingen, in Germany, when the last accounts left, in'company with Madame Sisoeb, one of his daughters. Not being a particularly old man—for he had , a robust constitution and, had 'iiot reached the age Of sixty-four—he may yot live some years, particularly as report says that he already had derived much benefit ft o ® the waters of Kiss- Ingen. The minor of his death, hastily copied from a faffs paper, causedgreat regret to all who kuew I.Am.AOHK, fpr he was n genial, good-hnraored, pleasant companion. Tho Queen of England, to whom he had attempted to teach singing, was .much attached to him,- and: long after her accossion to tho throne, would'chit-chat and 'gossip with him by tho -honjr—the singer, being talkative and commu nicative, and the Qneen being extremely inqui sitive,- as ! ;all' her family have been. Fmn PiNpiff' (J)r. lVoicor) lias 'immortalized the rapidity with, which Geohqe • 111.,. his butt, used to ask question after question, withont waiting .for' a reply to any. One of tho monarch’s: most profound inquiries, on a pplit . which perpetually troubled his mind, (white he had any mind atail,) was to solve a philosophical'doubt, as to how, without any - visiblyway of admission, the fruit got into an apple-dampling? Labuaghe used to speak Very patronizingly, and even affectionately, of Quijen Yiotobia, . and constantly lamented that he had'been unablo,- from three slight causcs, to make her. anything of a vocalist: be said that, drat, she had no voice; next, that she) had no ear; and lastly, that she had no application. '' ’ . . , 1 ijABtACHE is not the only person who has ] beep killed fay the newspapers. In 1610 Lon- | doff waS Startled by a posHive 'statement that Loiil Bbouohak had been thrown out of his carrlage near Penrith’, (which Is quite' close to Brojighatn -Hail, In Westmoreland,) and unfor tunately killed. 1 The details were given—the •pla^e 1 of 1 the fatal ! accident described—the nanies of the party enumerated—and so on. This .wss before Professor Moesb had made mankind his debtor by inventing tho cleetric telegraph, and there was no way, therefore, of immediately ascertaining whether the report , were trap, Had such intelligence arrived in i thojpreSent time, the postmaster of Penrith would have instantly been communicated with, | and the fact ascertained. The London papers I—all 1 —all except The Times— eagerly published tho neffs, and every one of them,came out with memoirs, characters, and anecdotes of tho noble and eccentric cx-Chancellor. As this WaS .towards the , clpso . of thp week, tho Sunday papers followed in tho wake of tho and ‘expatiated largely upon tho character of ilic man —as. politician, orator, Uwjrer/apd man ofletters—and, on tho whole, treated him extremely well. Many of them aaiVthat of him, believing him dead, which I they -never would have written while he was ! living/ Opposing his politics, they were so generous as to bnry their resentment and en mity, in his (supposed) grave. Like Zakoa, j in‘f The Revenge,” they felt, « IVo war not I,with the dead.” .. Amid this regret, which was general among the:opponents as well as the friends of Lord Bb6uobah, and while the public were most anxiously ,looking for the promised “flirtber particulars” of the accident, a faint suspicion began to arise among the newspaper people that they had been —soldi By and by, the suspi cion increased, and it was observed that certain •p«i|oaa connected with The Timet, while they jj§d sigjaWcantiy as if they rknejw, agteat jdeal, and shook their heads as Jiwdeltrasly as Lord Bvkibiou does in that wSj K' ’* i - ’ J ■ . - ' - solemn tragl-eomio drams “The Critic.” At lasty down came, the surprise—like'an ava lanche ! A letter Horn Mr. Ahked Mont gomery, one of the guests t,t Brougham Hall, Where the alleged, accident was said to have taken place, simply, declared that the whole Statement was—a hoax! A carriage had been overturned, hut . without personal Injury to hard Broboham or: any of his companions. It was never discovered who perpetrated this hoax. AAbrief letter had been despatched to London when the accident occurred, and some body there worked.lt up into “Shocking Occur rence! Death of Lord Brougham.” It was long suspected that The Times had adroitly managed the whole scheme, in order to have the laugh at its rivals. Brougham had the pleasure of reading, in advance, what his contemporaries Would:, say and think ofliim after he hadpassed away, and the opinion' was very much in his fiivor. There were some who suspefcted that Lord Brodqham himself had concocted the whole plot j hnt this suspicion was wholly un warranted. More than seventeen years have passed away sinco that pretended death, and now, far advanced in,years, (he will he 79 next month,) he is as constant,'energetic, and .vigi lant as ever in his endeavor' to consummate the great labor of his life—Law Reform. Only a lew months ago the religious world (in America) were startled with the intelli gence that the Rev. Drl Pusuv, of Oxford,, nomiiml founder, of the schism called “ Pusoy ism,” had been- summoned fronp.thia mortal exlstdnbe' toi Immortal life. - The New Tofk' papers, which affect to l)o groat on biographies,. immediately rushed to tho “ Men of the Time,” that very nseftd,compilation, and gtasping at the few particulars it gave of Dr. Pusey, worked them up into something like biogra phies, serving the articles up, according to custom’, as if they were original. It turned out, however, that Dr. Pusey was not defunct. The clerks in the telegraphic office, working with their usual rapidity, had pui the name of Pbsey for that of Hussey- Instead ofEnwAkD Bovverie Pusey, Regius Professor'of Hebrew and Canon of Christ Church, Oxford, it was Robert HussEr, Pro fessor of Ecclesiastical Literature in tho Bame University,.who had departed td that bourne from which no traveller returns. And so, Dr. Pusey, was not dead—though recent accounts intimate that his hoalth had much declined, oi late. Though his name originated the term (Puseylsm) by which a certain schism in the Anglican Church is known,he did comparative ly little in that movement. Dr. Pusey is a subtle thinker, but the great man of that schism was Dr. Newman, formerly a Follow of Oriel College, Md a clergyman of the Church ef England. He had boldness, nerve, and great firmness, and literally ruled the doubters for a long time. At last his convictions became too strong to permit him td continue in the Angli can Church, 1 and ho “went over to Rome.” For some time ptist Dr. Newman has been the Principal of the Catholic University of Ireland, and a leading writer in the Dublin Deview, the especial organ of Cardinal Wiseman. ■ These are some of tho prinoipsi cases in which eminent persons have been reported dead, arid duly honored with newspaper obituary eu logies while living. Thoy remind one of tho reason given by MiSs Gray to tho lato lamented Mr. John Robinson (of lyrical memory) for having entertained the opinion that be was no morej it expresses pretty clearly the rathor loose data npon'which personal Information of this kind is often composed. The words arc : For somebody one day ooino and said, • That somebody else hud somewhere read, In some newspaper, that you were doad. Ladiache, Brougham, and" Pusey are still living—ihough the newspapers have killed them off. They have,ascertained what the world thinks of, them, and it must, therefore, bo a matter pf very little Importance (except to themselves and their kindred) what time they will really “ shuffle off . this mortal coil.” . SLANDER BY A PEERESS. A curious action at law was tried at tho re cent Assizes, in Derby, (England,) in which no less a personage than the once fashionable and beautiful Countess of Harrington figured os defendant. This lady is not to ho confounded with the Dowager-Countoss, widow of tho lato Earl of Habrinoton, and formerly well known, in the annals of gallantry and the stage, os the Miss Foote who was very basely treated by that remarkable reprobate, Colonel Berkeley, now Earl Fitzhardinoe, and (at the last ac counts) supposed now to be on his death-bed. The present Countess would not look across the street, we dare say, for fear of encounter ing her sister-in-law, who had naughtily been an actress, and, notwithstanding her stage and other antecedents, had been most oxomplary as a wife. Tho ex-actress, on the othor hand, might truly boast, that, even if she had boen a sinner, she had not slandered her neighbor passing off, all the timo, fora saint of the first water. A clergyman named Hiobmobe was appoint ed rector of Elvaston, in Derbyshire, by tlio late Earl of Habbinoton. Between this noble man and the present Earl, who were brothers, there long had been a feud on account of the marriage of the former with Miss Foote.' El vastonOastle, where the Habbinoton family re sido, is situated in Mr. Highmore’s parish. But tho Countess/of Harrington —who, having ceased to be eminently beautiAil, has bccomo eminently religious—disliked him, because ho had been on intimato terms with tho late Earl. Mr. Jones, a curate of Elvaston, deposed as follows s “On Sunday, the 22d of February, I went to the Castle to lunch. I saw the Countess of Harrington in the drawing-room. After the ordinary compliments of the day, Lady Harring ton asked me who was likely to administer the sacrament on Sunday, and went on to Bay, ‘We never take the sacrament from that man High more, because he is so wicked a man; whenever X take it I go to Elvaston, or have it adminis tered to mo at Guwsworth. I never take the sacrament here because of that man Highmore; ho keeps the sacrament money and Dover gives anything to the poor, and took tho money which the Duke ot Leinster gave fpr repairing the church. He is such a low anddrunken ana bad character that Lord Harrington cannot re ceive him. He is always playing at cards and gambling, and encouraging the people of the village in all kinds of gambling, card playing, and debauchery. He and his wife are constant ly rolling drank on the door. Should consider it sacrilege from so bad and wicked a man.’ “On. another occasion 'hot ladyship Said, ‘How Can you lay yourself under an obligation with these Highmores. Tou were 'told before you came here wlfat they were, and if you go to them you will not be acceptable at the Cas tle. He keeps a most disreputable house, and you must take care of your character and your friends. They are always playiug at cards from morning to night. They are a set of wicked people. I know tho truth of it, for Sir Fran cis Stanhopo told me he saw all threo of them drunk on tho floor.’ I believe tho Dowager Countesß of Harrington was meant by the third person.” On cross-examination it came out that while Mr. Hioiiuobe was absent, from ill-liealth, (which rendered him actually unable to take any stimulating drink,) he had a curate who was accused of having been intoxicated. Mr. Hiobmobe was also examined, under the English law which permits parties to ho witnesses In their own case, and swore that Lady HaV. rington’s statements wore untrue, and showed why they must be so. But the great feature oi tho trial waa tho evidonco of my Lady, the Countess. It cortalnly shows a wonderful aptitude for gossip, tale-boaring, slanderous insinuations, and libellous asser tions—exactly such as, in the time of Hobace Waipoie, when tittle-tattle was everything, would have made the Countess a popular character. Here is my Lady’s own account of what she did say •. “I remember Mr. Jones, tho curate of El vaston, coming to officiate for the first time, some time at the end of January or beginning of February. I remember a conversation with him about the sacrament, asking who was to administer it. He told me ho did not know. I told him I should not take it from Mr. High more, as I thought Mr. Highmoro was not a food man, and that I took the sacrament in iondon and Gawsworth. I said that he had not accounted for the sacrament money. Those were my precise words. I never said he had appropriated it to himself. I mentioned Hr. Thacker, the church-warden, as my authority. A few days after he told me be thought Mr. PHILADELPHIA* MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1857. Highmoro would administer tho' ! siiprament, . and I told him I should nit take itunder these circumstances. He then began to argue with me. I listened a short time and then told him my .opinion' remained unchanged. I never J said Mr. Highmore pocketed the money, j There was no account rehderod, and this was > what I meant. 1 said the Duke of Leinster , had given 10/. and tho farmers 20/, to throw : opep the.tower of the church, which bad been < used as a coal hole. I said he had not done ! what tho Duke of, Leinster gave the money for until many years had elapsed, that Lord , Harrington, not liking to see the tower used as a coal holo, had given the balance, and it was done. I said thoro had been n great deal of card playing and gambling at the Castle during the late lord’s time; and there was a great deal ‘ of card playing in the village; but I did not say ‘ Mr.‘Highmoro is always gambling and encouraging the people of the village in gambling and debauchery.’ I never used the word debauchery; blit I said there had been a very bad example set in the village. . 1 par ticularly alluded to Mr. Collins. I mentioned his name, and told Mr. Jones that there had been two drunken curates at 'Elvastoni the other was Mr. who only officiated one Sunday Yho was there .two or three weeks. I never said, speaking of Mr. Highmore, “Ho and his wife are* nhvays rolling' drunk on the door.’. I .alluded to Mr. Collins; that was proved by Mr. Barron and Mr. jYliitakor, the rural dean, who saw him drunk on tho flpo’r. I did not say to Mr. Jones take care of his character and be very cautious;' I told him that Sir Francis stanhope told me that he had seen. Miss Foote [the Dotfriger’Countess] drank ori the floor;bUtl never saidthatko had seen them ail three drunk, on ’ the floor. The late' lord .was one’ of. the: soberest!of men, and of course could-Pot say that As was drunk. In the rolling on tho floor 1 alluded to Mr. .Collins. I may have said that Mr.' Highmore 'had been arider at jdstley’e, but that'is not,'in the declaration. By his Lordship t, I said that I should not take the, sacrament from Mr. Highmore because he was a bad man.

Tho jury, after twenty minutes’ deliberation, intimated that' they did not believe tho Countess, by returning a ver dict against her of $8,750 as damages. But this is not all that she (or hor husband) will have to pay. The costs of tho suit, on both sides, are payable by the losing party, and probably amount in this case to somo $2,000 more. The whole amount will be close, on $O,OOO. This ought to be (but will not) n great lesson to such of tho fair sex as arc a little too free in speech. As usual, a woman is at the bottom of the mischief. Tho dislike of the Countess to her predecessor, who was friendly with Mr. Hioiimoke, was the exciting cause. The. Earl of Habhinqton, who will pay handsomely for his.wife’s freedom of speech, used to have con siderable musical' taste, (when he was Col.

Records and maps, long hiddon in tho arohioveS of the Mexican Government, and In tho Jesuit Colleges, show thntjmnro than a hundred .years ago this territory was settled by alargo and flourishing mining population; and that at tho base Of tho uiountnins, and along tho strenms, tho ranolioro grazed his thousands of horses and cat tle, whilo tho farmer raised luxuriant orops of corn, whoat, grapes, and fruit of every variety. “Thiscivilisation porishod boforo tho devasta ting oaroer of tho Indian tribos of tho country, as tho Mexioancivilliationin Sonora is to-duy perish ing boforo tho attacks of tho Apnoho Indians. “Tho recent decision of tho Postmaster-General in favor of the Overland Mail Routo to California, via 131 Paso and Port Yuma, will havo an impor tant influence upon tho sottlcmont and develop ment of Arizona. It is tho only prootieablo routo for a mail, and tho wagon and stage road is but tho forerunner of tho groat Pacific railroad. It therefore becomes a matter of great national in terest that the country througu which it passes should be protected from Indian attacks, ana that legal rights should obtain as thoydo in ourEastorn States. * * * * “ Tho population of this territory is upwards of six thousand, and rapidly increasing. The recent roports of Colonel Bonneville, U. S. A., upon the eountry north of the Gilla river, which It is pro posed to include within the limits of Arizona, will give an impetus to immigration. They furnish the guarantee that the new State contains the great element of national wealth—-agricultural resources. Our readers must bear in mind that the whole valley and its branches, draining an immense country, are cotton lands of tho best description, and that it is virgin soil. ****** “ Arizona will bo known as tho Silver Stato, and tho prediotion of Humboldt, that tho relative value of gold and silver would one day be restored, will bo fulfilled from the almost fabulous wealth of the < Gadsden purchase/ •> LATEST FROM THE PLAINS* [From the Kansas City Enterprise.] Mr. Samuel Maohett, of the firm of Maohett, Lindsey & Co.,ofthts city .and ofDripps & Machott, Fort Laramie, arrived in Kansas City, on Thursday evening, haring leftFnrt Laramie on tbd 22d ot July.

Tho emigrant trains to Oftlifbthia had all passed FortLommio and wore in good health. They had lo3t, bowovor, a largo number of cattle on the route. Mr.Mnohett met the Pawnees with their women and children at Fort Kearney, on their way to the summer’s hunt. This tribe loat nearly all their horses by tho intense cold of Inst winter, but are now well supplied. Early the present spring they made a concerted desuout upon tho Choyennss vil lages and almost literally stripped them of their slock, one party of Pawnees, olouo bringing i n over three hundred Cheyenne horses A Pawnee was killed by a Cheyenne threo miles from Fort Kcarhoy and his scalp stuok upon a pole. Buffalo were oxocedlngly plenty on the plains within fifteen miles of Kearney. Magraw’s W agon Road train, with Tim Goodnle, was at Fort Kearney, all well. Col.

Van Yleit, Master Master, at Cottonwood,. and lteno’s battery at Big Blue. The Choyennes are soattered in war parties the entire route from Laramie to Fort Kearney, but their principal rendezvous is on the head-waters of tho Republican. But little damage has been done to train?, as they haro crossed this summer in largo bodios, and tho Indians nro nfrald to attack them. All small parties, however, that full in tbeir way lire cut off. A man, named Foster, wagon-master of ono of Majors A Waddle’s trains, was attacked on Little Bluo bv ft party of Cheyennes, but, after killing , ono of their number, escaped. Tho war between tho Crows and Sioux had again broken out, and the Sionx have all left tho Black Hills for the plains. Tho latter are peaceably dis used toward tho whites, and have forbidden the 1 Iheyonnea from coming into their country. Mr. Maohett saw several surveying parties on h'.s way in, but hoard nothing of the muruors reported by us last week. Ho apprehends little damage from Cheyenne bands, and -says that they will molest none but small and unprotected parties. He says that all parties are Bnngnino that Col. Sumner will Suocoed in giving them a good drubbing, as that is tho only remedy that can be appliod to this restless and hostile tribe. He has five Delaware and three Pawnee guides, who are well acquainted with all tho Cheyonno haunts.

Thoro is no news from Utah. Indian Fight in Texas* [From the N. 0, Picayune of Aug. B.} We are indebted to Lieut. Wood, United States army, who arrivod here last ovening, en route for Washington, for the following facts, whioh wore recoivod by him from Lieut. Ilood, of tho second artillery, just as he was loaving Texas. Lieut. Hood, company G, second cavalry* reports an engagement, on tho 20tU July, at the head of Devil river, with forty-fivo Indians. He had twonty-four mon on a scouting party; was informed at Fort Mason, from whioh he wo3 detached, that a band of Lipans had obtained per mission to bring in their families, and if they en countered any of the soouting parties they were to hoist a white flag. On the 20tn he discovered teu Indians, who raised a white flag. He kopt seven men with his pack mules and started towards them, and, when he approached within about thirty yards, they immediately lowered their flag, and some thirty Indians sprang up and commenced fir ing rifles and arrows. UEThcse shots wore forthwith returned, and a olose combat ensued. Lieut. Hood’s men were armed with yagers and ono revolver each. The melee be came so oloso that ono of tho men, after firing his gun, hung it ovor tho pummel of hia saddle, and an Indian took it off. Ho killed nino Indians and wounded ten or twelve. Lost two mon, one killed and one missing: ono dangerously wounded; himself and three men woro wounded; and ono horse was killed and three wounded. Lieut. Hood had seventeen fighting men in tho engagement. His guide oountej forty-five Indi ans, and stated them to bo Lipans and Uumanohes. If Lieut. Hood’s men had boon armed with two revolvers each, it is thought he would have de stroyed thowholo party. Perilous Descent of Aeronauts. [From the Albany Evening Journal.] Sheldon House, Fine Orchard, Branford, Aug. 11.—Tho quiet of this retired watering-place was greatly disturbed this afternoon by the cry of “ A balloon !” On rushing to the piazza, we noticed .that a largo find beautiful balloon was in sight, ap parently Found towards" th& Xdiig'lsland House." Suddenly it rapidly descended, aud, to our horror, tho car and its three inmates woro plunged in the sea, completely out of sight; tho car, which was a largo wicker-basket, being completely submerged. Wo ftt onoo started our favorito yncht, the Aofive, for tho rescue. The littlo sloop almost flew through the waves, rind soon was by the side of the car, whioh was being dragged at ft furious rate through the water. Tho unfortunate aeronauts, who seemed in oxoelleut spirits in spite of their mishap, gave tho boat a hearty cheer, and requested tho captain to Ho near so as to afford assistance. Thoy hnd thrown out their anchor, but were drifting before thirwind towards Governor’s Island—one of the Thimble Islands. The yacht hastened to tho shore, and the party woro on hand to seize the ear as it {•track tho rock. It required the force of a dozen men to keep it from ascending, its passengers not daring to leave tho eur until the gas escaped. We find that tho aeronaut, Mr. King, ascended from Now Haven at ii P. M., accompanied by two passengera, Mr. G. F. Tuttle and Mr. P. A. Pin korman, who went up on a wager. The car was well provisioned, but, in tho excitement of thoirde sjcnt, their supplies woro thrown overboard. Tho car, when discovered, was filled with a ohaos of barometers, opera-glossos, champagne bottles, and bouquets. The barometer indicated a height of two miles. Attempt to Blow Up the House of Providence. [From the Toronto Leader of the 12th.] Our city readers need not to be informed that a large Roman Catholic building, bearing the name of tno House of Providence, and intended os an asylum for the poor, Is being erected on Power street. Tho main body of the building is already covered In; tho cost of this portion of it, we be lievo, will bo something like £12,000, Last night, a few minutes before twelve, some diabolical wretches mode a clumsy attempt to destroy this fine structure by blowing it up with gunpowder. In tho room in which is tho principal chimney, a j.ir of gunpowder, oapablo, it is supposed, of holding some two gallons, was exploded ; but the effect, far from being what the perpetrators of the outrage intended, was only to make & few unim portant oraoks in ono side of the lower part of the chimney, and to knock off some of the plaster from tho coiling—thirteen feet high—and walls. Tbo effect of the explosion was doubtless lessened by tho wans of confinement; neither windows nor doors being put in. The fragments of tho jar wore found in the room; and tho coiling near the centre is blackened by tbo powder. On the east sido of tho building lies a heap of manuro, on whioh nro the footmarks of tbo miscreant who com mitted the outrage. His dirty boot also scraped tho wall underneath the window out of which he jumped. When once out, ho would probably climb the fence of tho burial ground to tho east. He must have gone in at the south end of tho building, as thoro was a watch stationed at thcothor. There arc no marks of a train left; and the explosion was probably effected by means of a slow match. Tho roport of tho explosion was very loud; having buen heard by somo persons to as great a distance ih Yongo street. The Chief of Polico visited the sj»ot tills morning.

From a lottor In the Charleston Courier, dated in June, wo take tho following description of Lord Brougham’s house at Cannos : Having brought a letter obligingly offered us by our travelling companion of Avignon aud of Marseilles to a French gentleman, Monsieur F., nt Cannes, wo found him very polite. Ho left his desk «t tho office of the Customs and accompanied us to tho Chateau or Maiton de Campagncof Lord Brougham, which has a commanding view of tho Mediterranean and of tho neighboring oliffs. The versatile Lord Brougham purchased or built this on ucoount of the ill-healtli of his daughter, now dead, after whom it is named. It is nut ft fow hundred yards from tho water’s edge, nml is sur rounded by orange trees and flowers. Wo visited hm library rooms, whero wo found a largo number of instruments for pursuing the study of natural philosophy, optics, tho laws of light, Ac , Ac., in which, as in othor branches of physical and natural Bcionco, like Voltaire, Rossenu.

The houso was nicely painted in whito, and contained somo eight or ton rooms. Thoro was an orangery on the 1 other sido of the main road in front'of It, also be longing to Lord Brougham, with ft passage leading to the water’s edge. When I saw the chateau, I appreciated the hits of tho London Puneh , eofre- Juently indulged against the owner, whose eulogy will not make hero, though I am awaro of his profound legal and classical attainments. “ Lord Brougham’s knowledge of the niceties of the French language is surprising. He speaks it thoroughly woli and has written a work on It, thus adding this to his othor wonderful acquirements.

The judges’ Boat then passed in front of the squadron, as tile yachts lay in line im- Saiieutly to&lngoa the waves and announced the coision. This was received with ill favor, and cries of “Backing down.” “ Go on,” Ac., Ac., came from the crews of several yachts. A Budden bright ening of the skies induced the committee to re verse their decision, which was announced to Com modore Edgar amid the applauding shouts of all in the vicinity. The signal was repeated, and at llh 25m 30 sec., the yachts of the third class got under way. These consisted of tho Richmond, Bonita, and Aiftlia. At llh 27m started the second class, consisting of tho Scud, Rebecca, Minnie, Sea Drift, Yolanto, Madgie, Petrel, Oriental, America; Undine, Stella and Spray. At llh. 39m. Ssee. started the first class, consist ing of the Widgeon, Favorita, Hirze,.Reatioas, Syl vie, and Juliet. * At the outset there was a strong breeze from tho southwest, which, however, when the boats were on the homo stretch, tumod nearer west. After each olass had got under full headway, and I were engaged in an animated contest to lead round | the first stake-boat, the spectacle was ono of an ex- j citing and interesting character. The Minnie, Madgie, Rebecca, Scud, Richmond, Oriental, Ame rica, Volante, Suliotta, Azalea, Stella, Restless, Favorita, and Widgeon, all contributed their best efforts to make the scene what it was. On this stretch no boat did bettor than the white Restless, which, in speed, outdid anythingof its oiass. But the main interest of this contest soon concentrated in the Hnzo and Sylvie, of the first class, and it was observed that the contest, so far as time was re garded, would lie between these boats. Aftor passing the first, stake boat, the gun c&mo out, and ftddea tho brilliancy of bis beams to the already inspiring scone. Hero came the best part of tho race. Here the Haze and Sylva, and the Minnie and Madgio attracted all eyes by the close ness of the contest between them On tho home stretch the breeze stacked almost to acalm, and all excitement iu the contest abated. The yachts were accompanied round tho course by steamers and sailing vessels. Tha judge’s boat returned in advance, and near the homo stake boat, to which, tho judges and reporters had proceeded, awaited tho arrival of tho competitors, and announcement of tbo names of tho viotors. The yachts are classified as follows: First class carry 3300 square feet of canvas and upwards; second class, 2300 feet and upwards, but less than 3300; third class, less than 2300 feet. Each ; yacht sails within her own class.

Ten per cent, being allowed a sloop against a schooner in the same class. , Tho prises awarded wore two to each class, of $lOO and $5O each.
