Two DESTRUCTIVE About eight o'clock on Saturday night a fire, attended with considerable destruc tion ut propert, broke out in a large range of workshops belonging to Mr Putts, a box-manufacturer, situated Im mediately behind the prr mices belonging to Mr. Spencer, a tubas coots, No. 82, King-street, Snow-hill. The flames originated in one of the chops filled with goods of some value, and owing to its inflammable nature, the tire spread amazingly quick, so that in the course of a few minutes the whole of tilr. Pottc's premises were in a blaze. The engines of the London Brigade and %\ est of England and County were soon un the spot, and plenty of water being ob ained, the engines were called into operation, but the fire was not extinguished until Mr. Potts's property was totally destroyed. The origin of the fire is not known. Fortu nately, the sufferer was insured in the Pkcenix Fire-of f ice. About an hour previous a fire, that r as well nigh being at tended with an enormous destruction of property, happened in the large manufacturing premises belonging to Messrs. Glover, the gas -meter-makers, in Sutton-street, Clerkenyvell.

LONDON,' THE COWES REGATTA. THE ONE HUNDRED GUINEk CUP GIVEN BY THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON TO ALL NATIONS. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, SATURDAY.—Though the America came in first by some miles, she unfortunately did not go the right course. (%Ve say unfortunately because she is without any doubt the fastest vessel, and beat all the other yachts, and no mist: ke.) The Bacchante went round the Nab, and Daniel Corke now claims the Cup for his vessel. We hope the matter will end here ; and though he perhaps might have claimed it from a yacht of the squadron, the Old Free trader will waive his right to the stranger. The matter is now before the Committee of the Roysl Yacht Squadron. Even 0 d Dan allows that if the America bad gone round the Nab it would not have made half a mile distance difference. The Queen's Cup to all nations is to be sailed for on Monday. The Town Regatta is fixed for Tuesday and Wed nesday next. In the Match the Volante lost her bowsprit by running into the Freak ; her bowsprit took the Freak's mainmast and split ,it. Thus both vessels were disabled. Cowes hes not seen such a season since 1819. The spirit of yachting has revived ; and we have no doubt but the season of 1852 will exceed any yet known. The Americans hove thrown a new light on the construction of vessels, but we question much if there is not as much credit due to the New York sail-makers as there is to the ship-builders. Our old yachts will make excellent fruiters, but if fast vessels are required the Whites must build on the America's lines, and the sails must be of her cut. (From the Times ) Cowes, SATURDAY NIGHT.—Toe telegraphic dis patch which appeared this morning stated the " great fact" that the America had beaten the yachts which started against her on Friday tor the Royal Yacht Squadron Cup of 100/. value in the most complete and triumphant manner; but, from. the lateness of the hour at which the race concluded, it was impos sible to. send up to town any detailed account of her victory. It now remains to give the particulars of the event as one of no ordinary interest. A large portion of the peerage and gentry of the United Kingdom left their residences and forsook the sports of the moors to witness the struggle between the yachtsmen of England, hitherto unmatched and unchallenged, and the Americans who had cro:sed the Atlantic to meet them. All the feelings of that vast population which swarms in our southern ports and firmly be deves in " Rule Britannia," as an article of national faith; all the prejudices of the wealthy aristocracy and gentrs, who regarded the beautiful vessels in which they cruised about the Ceannel and visited the shores of the Mediterranean e very summer as the perfection of naval archi tecture, were roused to the highest degree, and ven the Queen of England did hot deem the occasion unworthy of her presence. Until within the last few days no Englishman ever dreamed that any nation could produce a yacht with the least pretensions to match the efforts of White, Cameer, Ratsey, and other eminent builders. In the I acht List for this very year there is an assertion wilich every man within sight of sea water from the Clyde to the Solent would swear to—that " Yacht-building was an art in which England was unrivalled, and that she was dis tinguished pre-eminently and alone for the perfection of science in handling them." From the Royal Cork Club, which was founded in 1720, to the Royal London, founded in 1849, there aria 17 yacht clubs in various parts of the Uuieed Kingdom —ten English, four Irish, two Scotch, and one Welch—and not one of them had ever seen a foreigner enter the lists in the annual matches. It was just known that there was an Imperial Yacht Club o, St. Petersburgh, main• tained, it was affirmed, by the Imperial Treasury, to encourage a nautical spirit among the no hility, and that some ten or eleven owners of yachts at Rotterdam had enrolled them selves as the " Royal Netherlands Yacht Club ;" but, rill the America came over, the few who were aware tet the fact that there was a flourixhing club at New York did not regard it as of the slightest consequence, or at all likely to interfere with their monopoly of the glory of the manliest and roost useful of all sports. The few trial runs the America made afier her arrival proved she was possessed of great speed, and that the owners were not so little justified as'at first they hart been thought in offering to back an untried vessel egainst any yacht in our waters for the large sum of 10,0001, or for a cup or priece of plate. As the day of the Royal Yacht Squadron's grand match drew near the entries became numerous, and 1851 will be celebrated for the largest number of starters for the Derby and for the 1001. cup reTectively, that were ever known, so far as I can gather. The conduct of the Americans since their arrival in the Solent had been bold, manly, and straightforward —qualities which Englishmen respect wherever they are found, and love to see eve❑ in aeopponent. In the memory of man Cowes never presented such ippearance as upon last Friday. Thera must have eeen upwards of 100 yachts lying at anchor in the roads; the beach was crowded from Egypt to the piers—the esplanade in front of the Club throngen ivith ladies and gentlemen, arid with the people in Laid, who came over in shoals with wives, sons, ann slaughters fur th e d a y. Booths were erected ail along the, quay, and the roadstead was alive with boats, while from sea and shore arose an incessant buzz of voices, mingled with the splashing of oars, the flip ping of sail*, and the hissing of steam, from the ex eursion vessels preparing tti accompany the race. Flags floated from the beautiful villa's which stud the wooded coast, and ensign and hurgee, rich with the co lours of the various clubs or the devices of the yachts, flickered gaily out in the soft morning air. The windows of the houses which commanded the harbour were filled from the parlour to the attic, and the old " sears " on the beach g,z-d moodily on the low black hull of " the Yankee," and spoke doubt 'tiny of the chances of her competitors. Some rhought " the Volante " might prove a tetiz-r it the wind was light; others speculated on " the Alarm" doing mischief if there was wind enough t ee bring out the qualities of the large cutter in beating up to windward and in tacking ; while more were of opinion that the America would carry off the cup, 44 blow high, blow luw." It was with the greates, difficulty the little town gave space enough to the inulltudes that came from all quarters to witness an event so novel and so interesting, and the hotels were quite inadequate to meet the demands of their guests. Among the visitors were many strangers—French. men en route fur Havre, Germans in quiet wonder ment at the excitement around them, and Americans already triumphing in the anticipated success of their countrymen. The cards containing the names and colours of the yachts described the course merely a being " round the Isle of Wight ;" the printed pro gramme stated that it was to be " round the Isle of Wight, inside Notnan's Buopand Sandhead Buoy, and outside the Nab." The distinction, it will be seen, might have been productive of larger conse• quences than could be imagined. The following yachts were entered, the figures representing the order in which they were placed from Cowes Castle, No. 1 being the nearest. They were moored in a double line. No time allowed for tonnage : Beatrice, schooner, 161 tons—Sir W. P. Carew. Volante, cutter, 48—Mr. L. Cragie. Arrow, cutter, 84—Mr. T. Charnh-rlayno.

The mist which hung over tbe fields and woods from sunrise was carried off about nine o'clock by a very gentle breeze from the westward, which veered round a little to the south soon afterwards, and the morning became intensely warm. At 955 the pre paratory gun was fired from the club-house battery, and the yachts were soon sheeted from deck to top mast with clouds of canvas, huge gaff topsails and balloon gibs being greatly in vogue, and the America evincing her disposition to take advantage of her new jib by hoisting it with all alacrity. The whole flo tilla not in the race were already in motion, many of them stretching down towards Osborne and Ry de to, in did° get a good s t art o f t h e c li p p ers . Of th e li s t above given the Titani a an d t h e S e ll s did nut start, and tthewi twice er a winnerude 1850, and take Ohne c r e at t a h t l i s yone(atr; (the the la s latter Stella won once last year). Thus wily fitter) started, of which seven were schooners, including the Brilliant (three -masted schooner), and eight were cutters. At ten o'cleck the signal gun fur sailing was fired, and before the smoke had well cleared away the whole of the beautiful fleet was under weigh, moving steadily to the east with the tide and a gentle breeze. The start was effected splendidly, the yachts breeking away like a field of race-horses; the only laggard was the America, which did not move for a second or so after the others. Steamers, shore-hosts, and yachts of all sizes, buzzed along on each ride of the course, and spread away for miles over the rippling sea—a sight such as the 1 1 Adriatic never beheld in all the pride of Venice ; mob s beateiy tirapgb WS Are, is no other county MONDAY EVENING, the world could exhibit, while it is confessed that anyttiii,g like it was never s' en even here in the an nals of yachting. Soon after th:y started a steamer went off froth the roads with the members of the sail ing committee, Sir B. Graham, Bart., Commodore, Royal Yacht Squadron, and the following gentlemen : —Lord Excnotuh, Captain Lyon, Mr. A. Fontaine, Captain Ponsonby, Captain Corry, Messrs. Harvey, Les,ie, Greg, and Reynolds. The American Minister, Mr. A bbott Lawrence, and his son, Colonel Lawrence, attachk to the American Legation, arrived too late for the eluting of the America, but were accommodated on board the steamer, and went round the island in her, and several steamers, chartered by privare gen tlemen or for excursion trips, &so accompanied the match. The Gipsy Queen, with all her canvass set and in the strength of the tide, took the lead after starting, wi.h the Beatrice next, and then, with little difference in order, the Volante, Constance, Arrow, and a flock of others. 'Die America went easily for some time under mainsail (with a small gaff topsail of a trian gular shape, braced up to the truck of the short and se rider stick which serves as her matetopms.st), fore sail, fore-steysail, and jib, while her opponents had every cloth set that the club regulations allow. She soon began to creep upon them, passing some of the cutters to windward. In a quarter of an hour she had left them all behind, except the Constance, Bea trice, and Gipsy Queen, which were well together, and went along smsrtly wish the light breeze. Once or twice the wind freshened a little, and at once the America gathered way, and passed ahead of the Constance and Bea , rice. Another puff came, and she made a dart to pass the Gipsy Queen, but the wind left her sails, and the little V.l sate came skipping past her with a stupendous jib, swallowing up all the wind that was blowing. As the glorious pageant passed under Osborne House the sight was surpassingly floe, the whole expanse of sea from shore to shore being filled as it were with a countless fleet, while the dark hull of the Vengeance, 84, in the distance at Spithead, towered in fine relief above the tiny little craft that danced: around her—the green hills of Hampshire, the white batteries of Portsmouth, and the picturesque coast of Wight, forming a fine framework for the picture. As the Volante passed the America great was the delight of the patriotic, but the nautical cognoscenti shook their heads, and said the triumph we uld be , shortlived; the breeze was freshening, and then the sprightly cutter must give way, though she was leading the whole squadron at the time. At 10 30 the Gipsy Queen caught a draught of wind and ran past the Voiante, the Constance, America, Arrow, and Alarm being nearly in a line. At 10 45 the brfez.,. freshened again for a short time, and the Ame rica passed the Arrow, Constance, and Alarm, but could not shake off the Volante nor come up to the Gipsy Queen, and exclamations were beard of "Well, Brother Jonathan is not going to have it all his own way," &c. Passing Hyde the excitement on shore was very great, and the great ichtliyoszturus-like pier was much crowded ; but the America was tiirging ahead, and less-ning the number of her rivals every moment. Toe Sandheads were rounded by the Volante, Gipsy Queen, and America without any perceptible change in point of time at 11 o'clock, the last being apparently to lee ward. Again, the wind freshened, and the fast yachts came rushing up before ir, the run from the Sand heads bring most exciting and well contested. Here one of the West India mail steamers was observed paddling her best to come in for some of the fun, and a slight roll of the sea inwards began to impart a live lier motion to the yachts, and to render amateurs, whether male or female, ghastly-looking and uncom fortable. The yachts were timed off Noman's Land buoy, and the character of the race at this moment may be guessed from the result— b. in. s. ... 11 7 0 Voliinte Freak ••• ••• ••• • 11 8 20 Aurora 11 8 20 Gr.psy Queen ... 11 8. 45 America 11 9 0 Beatrice 11 9 15 Alarm ••• ••• ••• 11 9 20 Arrow ... 11 10 0 Bacchante ... 11 10 15 The other six were staggering about the rear, and the IVyvern soon afterwards hauled her wind, and went back towards Cowes. At this point the wind blew somewhat more steadily, and the America began to show a touch of her quality. Whenever the breeze took the line of her hull all her sails set as flit as a drumhead, and, without any careening or staggering, she " walked along" past cutter and schemer, and, when off Brading had left every vessel in the squadron behind her—a mere ruck—with the exception of the Volante, which she overtook at 11 30, when she very quietly hauled down her jib, as much as to say she would give her rival every odds, and laid herself out, fur the race round the back of the island. The tikr ther showed symptoms of improvement, so far as yachting was concerned ; a few seahorses waved their crests over the water, the high lands on shore put on their fleecy "nightcaps" of cloud, and the horiz looked delightfully threatening; and now "the Yankee" flew like the wind, leaping over, not against, the water, and increasing her distance from the Gipsy Queen, Volante, and Alarm every instant. The way her sails were set evinced superiority in the cutting which our makers would barely allow; but, certain it is, that while the jibs And mainsails of her antagonists were "bellied out," her mauves was as flat as a sheet of paper. No foam, hut rather a water-jer, rose from her bows; and the greatest point of resistance—for resistance there must ne somewhere—seemed about the beam, or just for. ward of her mainmast . , for the seas flashed off from her sides at that point every time she met them. While the cutters were thrashing through the water, •ending the spray over their bows, and the schooners were wet up to the foot of the foremast, the America was as dry as a bone. She had twenty-one persons on her deck, consisting of the owners, the crew, cook, and steward, a Cowes pilot named Underwood, and some seamen who had been lent her by the Sur ,rise, a London-built schooner yacht, now at Cowes [toads. They nearly all sat att., and when the vessel did not require any handling crouched down on the deck by the weather bulwarks. Th e Girl Queen when a little pas: Brading, seemed to have carried away her foresail sheets, but even had it not been so she bad lost all chance of success. The America, as the wind increased, and it was now a six knot bret ze. .at least, hauled down her wee gaffupsail,and vventeway .ender mainsail, foresail, and forestaysail, so that it re quired the utmost the steamer could do to keep alongside ei her. This wrs her quickest bit of sailing, for on rounding the east point of the island it was necessary to beat to the westward, in order to get along the hack of the Wight. At 11 37 the Arrow, Bacchante, Constance, and Gipsy Queen st oo d away to the north, to round the Nab, imagining, most probably, that it was requisite to do so, us the usual course cer ~ aioly is to go outside the lightship, though the cards lid not specify it on this occasion. The America and most of the other yachts kept their cour,e round the Foreland and by Bembridge. She ran past the white and black buoys at a tremendous rate, and at 11 47 tacked to the west, and stand in towards the Culver cliffs, the nearest yacht being at least two miles to leeward or astern of her. She was not very quick in stays on this occasion, and it would seem she was not very regular in that inacceuvre, sometimes takinw a minute, sometimes 30 seconds, to perform it. At 11.58 she stood out again to the south-east, and, having taken a stretch of a mile or so, went about, and ran in towards Sandown. The breeze died off at this point, and to keep the cutters and light craft off the America hoisted her gaff topsail and jib once more. Under Shanklin Chine the set of the tide ran heavily against her, but still there was no thing to fear, for her rivals were miles away, some almost hull down! While running under Dunnose at 12.68 her jibboom broke short off. It may be re membered she procured the spar from Retsey, of Cowes, but no blame attaches to him, for not only did he re commend Messrs. Stephens to take a yellow spar instead of the white one they selected, but the boom was broken by mismanagement on the part of the men when straining on it with the windlass, and did not snap from the action of the sail. This accident threw her up in the wind, and gave the advantage of about a quarter of an hour to her opponents, while she was gathering in the wreck. But it was of little use to them. Looking away to the east, they were visible at great distances, standing in shore or running in and out most helplessly astern, the Aurora, Freak, and Vo lante, in spite of light winds and small tonnage, being two or three miles behind. The wind fell off very much for more than an hour, and it was hut weary work stretching along the coast against a balling tide, every moment making the loss of her jib of greater conse quence to the America. Soon after three o'clock the Arrow managed to run on the rocks to the east of Mill Bay ; and the sailing committee's steamer the Queen,. Her Majesty, an excursion boat, and the Alarm yacht at once made in to her assistance. They ran down to the ledge of rocks on which she was fixed, between Ventnur and Bonchurch, and '' Her IVlejesty," falling on her with a hawser, steamed away as held as she could, tad, after some 20 or 30 reinutes, towed off the poor little Arrow, which won but the other day at the Ryde Regatta, in such a condition that " she never more was fit for sea." She put about and went off towards the Nab, with the in tention of returning to Cowes; and the Alarm, which might have lied a chance with Brother Jonathan in a heavy seaway, kept her company in the same direc tion, having generously run down to aid the Arrow. The America at this time was some miles ahead, and, as the breeze freshened from W.S.W. W., slipped along on her way, makine tacks with great velocity, and stood well up to windward. Her superiority was so decided that several of tba yachts wore, and went back again to Cowes in despair; and, for about another half-hour the New York boat increased her distance every second, the Aurora, Freak, and Volante, keep ing id a little, squadron together—tack for tack—and tuning along aloe l aw *lola 2141 was rate unfortunate in one respect, for, in going about, the Freak fouled the Vo;mite and carried away her jib boom ; and the boatmen's pet became thereby utterly disabled, and lust the small glimpse of fortune which the light winds might have given her. Meanwhile minute after minute " the Yankee" was gaining ground, and at 3.30 was flying past St. Lawrence towards Old Castle, while the Bacchante and Eclipse, which had been working along honestly and steadily, were about 2f miles to leeward behind her. Fur her away still were visible five or six yachts, some hull down, some dipped further still, digging into the tide way as hard as they could, and lying into the wind as well as their sails might stand it. The America had by this time got the wind on her quarter, having gone round Rocken-eud, and thus having a tolerably fair course from the south to north-west up to the Needles, the wind being light and the water some what broken. The persona on board the steamers were greatly astonished at seeing ahead of the AMR.. rice, after the had rounded the Rocksre end, a fine cutter with jib and foresail together—" two single gentlemen rolled into one," bowling away with all speed, as if racing away for her life, end it was some time before they could be persuaded she was not the Aurora; but she was in reality the Wildfire, 42 tons, Mr. F. Thynne, of the Ro: } al Cork Club, which was taking a little share in the match to herself, and had passed the Eed 3.40. The America, however, bore straight down for the cutter, which was thoroughly well sailed, and passed her, of er a stern chase of more than an hour, though the Wildfire, when fist sighted, must have been two miles and a half ahead of the schooner. At 540 the Aurora, the nearest y acht, was fully seven miles and a half astern, the Freak being about a mile more distant, and the rest being " nowhere." The America was at this time close to the Needles, upon which she was running with a light breeze all in her favour. Two of the excursion steamers ran into Alum Bay and anchored there to see the race round the Needles. While waiting there in intense anxiety for the first vessel that should shoot round the immense pillars of chalk and limestone which bear the name, the passengers were delighted to behold the Victoria and Albert, with the royal standard at the main, and the Lord Admiral's flag at he fore, steaming round from N.W., followed by the Fairy, and the little dockyard tender. Her Majesty, the Prince, and the Royal Family, were visible by the aid of a glass from the deck of the steamers. The royal yacht went past the Needles, accompanied by the Fairy, at 5.35, but q uickly returned, and at 5.45 lay to off Alum Bay. Cite Fairy was signalled to proceed round the Needles, to bring tidings of the race, and at once started, Ariel-like, on her errand. Sion after the royal yacht anchored a boat put off from her, in the stern sheets of which were Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, who wore his white sailor's dress and tarpaulin hat. They landed, at tended by two gentlemen, on the beach under the cliff at Alum Bay, with the aid of the boatmen, and it was some time before the saunterers from the steam boats, who were climbing up towards the heights were aware of the presence of such distinguished visitors. Tney proceeded a short way up the narrow winding path which leads to the heights, but a wet drizzle drifted before the wind, and rendered the walk un promising, and the Royal party soon returned to the Deeds, the young Prince dancing round the shelving road with b.,yish vivacity. After a stay of eight or ten minutes, the Royal party returned to the yacht. Tne Fairy, which had returned to signal, again stood out past the Needles, but all doubt and speculation, if any there could have been, was soon removed by the appearance of the America hauling her wind round the cliff at 5 50. The breeze fell dead under the shore, and the America lowered out her foresail and forestaysail so as to run before it. All the steamers weighed and accompanied her, giving three cheers as she passed, &compliment welch her owners and crew acknowledged with uncovered heads and waving hats. At 6e. 4in. the Wildfire rounded the Needles and bore away after the schooner, which by this time had got almost in a line with the Victoria and Albert. Though it is not usual to recognise the presence of her Ma jesty on such occasions as a racing match, no more, indeed, than a jockey would pull up his horse to salute the Queen when in the middle of his stride, the America instantly lowered her ensign —blue with white stars—the Commo dore took off his hat, and all his crew, following his order and example, remained with un covered heads for some minutes till they had passed the yacht--a mark of respect to the Queen not the less becoming because it was bestowed by Republi cans. The steamers, as she passed on, renewed their cheering, and the private battery of some excellent gentlemen at the " Crow's nest" opened fire with a royal salute as the Victoria and Albert slowly steamed alongside the America. On turning towards the Needles, at 6.30, not a sail was in sight, but the breeze was so very light that all sailing might be said to have finished, and it was evident the America had won the cup, unless some light cutter ran up with a breeze in the dusk arid slipped past her. The steamers, including the Tourist, which astonished the natives by steaming through the still water at the rate of some 15 or 16 miles an hour, returned towards Cowes, and the royal yacht, having run close by the America under half-steam for a short distance, went on towards Osborne. Off Cowes were innumer able yachts, and on every side was heard the hail, o ls the America first ?" The answer " Yes." " What's second ?" The reply, " Nothing." As there was no wind, the time consumed in getting up from Hurst Castle to the winning flag was very considerable, the America's arrival first not having been announced by gunfire till 8.37. The Aurora, which slipped up very rapidly after rounding the Needles, in consequence of her light tonnage and a breath of wind, was signalled at 8.45; the Bac chante at 9.30; the Eelipse at 9.45 ; the Brilliant at 1.20 A.M. August 231. The rest were not timed. [bus the America made good all her professions. It is with great pleasure I have to state that a protest which had been entered against her receiving the cup, on the ground that she had not followed the course marked out, was withdrawn, and that the Messrs. Stephens were presented by the Royal Yacht Squad ron with the well-won cup. Oa the evening after the race there was a very brilliant and effective dis• play of fireworks by land and water alone tbe club house esplanade, at which 6,000 or 7,000 persons were present. A reunion took pLice at the club house, and the occasion was taken of Mr. Abbott Lawrence's presence to compliment him on the suc cees of his countrymen. His Excellency acknow ledged the kindness in suitable terms, and said that, though he could not but be proud of the triu'np h of his fellow-citizens, he still telt it was but the children giving a lesson to the father. If the Adierica was purchased here, they would nevertheless try to build something better in New York, so as to boat even her. Tne last remark of his Excellency alluded to a rumour that an offer had been made to buy the A merle*, bat that the sum was not considered sufficient. We have thus been undeniably beaten, but we have been beaten with a good grace, and our conquerors are the first to admit it. They speak in the highest terms of the condescension and kindness of the aristocracy they had been taught to believe arrogant and un bending, and acknowledge in the warmest way the Affability and courtesy of the gentry of the various clubs. This evening the America sailed from Cowes to Os borne, in consequence of an intimation that the Queen wished to inspect her. The Victoria and Albert also dropped down to Osborne. At a quarter to 6 the Queen embarked in the state barge, accompanied by hts Royal Highness Prince Albert and suite, and on nearing the America the national colours of that vessel were dipped, out of respect to her Majesty, and raised again when her Majesty had proceeded on board. Her Majesty made a close inspection of the America, attended by Commodore Stephens, Colonel Hamilton, and the officers of the yacht. The Queen remained on board half an hour, and expressed great admiration of the general arrangements and character of this famous schooner. Ou her Majesty leaving the American colours were again dipped, and her Majesty proceeded in the barge to Osborne, where she arrived et half-past six ololock. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) SECOND TRIAL OF THE AMERICAN YACHT. COWES, AUG. 24.—Her Majesty's Cup, value 100 guineas, open to yachts of all nations, will be sailed for to-morrow. Commodore Stephens has entered the America, when he offered to sail her against any of the yachts ; he stipulat&d that they should not start unless there was at least a six-knot breeze." We have at the least a " twelve• knot breeze" today, which her crew says is just what suits her. We shall be able to tell more about this to-morrow night. Tne Constance, the Alarm, the Destiny, and the whole fleet are determined to try her once more ; she has beaten them handsomely in a light air and in a stiff breeze; should to•m+,rrow be as to-day, and there is every appearance of its being so, they will have to try their powers in half a gale of wind—quite enough for any of them at the back of the Wight, and, we guess, a little more than some of our yachts men will like. The Titania schooner, 100 tons, with which Mr. Stephenson has accepted the American challenge, is come into harbour to have her bottom cleaned ; she is landing her guns and all her spare stores, intending to do her best, but it is not thought that she will be any use against the America. THE ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON CUP GIVEN TO THE AMERICA. The Bachante having withdrawn her claim to the Cup, the America takes it. In all matches round the island the Mal bar awns gone rend the Nab; AUGUST 25 1851. and had there no v been only the Squadron yachts sailing, the Bachante would have won, though the America beat her by at least ten miles. TUE TOWN REGATTA, TINDER ROYAL PATRONAGE. On Tuesday next there are to be three sailing matches and six rowing matches, the first boats to have 121., 101., 81., 51., 51., and 41.; besides duck hunts and a variety of other amusements. The ladies are to have a try at the oar in Bloomers. The whole in sight of the town. The royal yacht, it is said, will be moored close to the Parade, that the Royal Family may wit ness the whole of the sport. The fireworks on Friday evening were decidedly the best display ever seen here. Robson has this year got a name we hops he will keep fur many years to come. The fixed pieces, as well as the rockettit were excellent, but none seemed to please so much as his Crystal Palace. The torin is crowded with day-visitors, hundreds more than there possibly could be beds found for; but the Southampton and Ports mouth steamers leave late, and take hundreds to those towns nightly. Though we have so much company here, there are several of our best houses unlet. Our harbour and roadstead is full of yachts, and the Ame ricans are courted and being feasted by all. Toe Quten and Prince Albert honoured the American Commodore with a visit on Saturday, and went ovar his justly celebrated yacht. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. - - On Saturday the rec.:ipts at the doors of the build iog only amounted to 1,434/. 17s. 61, the number of visitors according to the police returns being 14,908. The mean temperature during the day by Beimett'a thermometers was 67.6. AMERICAN NEWS. LIVRPOOL, AUG. 24. By the Royal steam-ship Niagara, Captain Szone, which arrived this day before two o'clock, we have ad vices from New York to the 13th instant. She brings 74,0001. in specie. Among her passengers is Sir kL L. Bulwer. The Arctic arrived at New York on the 11th, the Africa on the 12th, and the Humbo L on the same evening. Id On the 223 instant the Niagara spoke the Atlantic. The steam-ship Washington Ailed on the 12th for Southampton and Bremen, with 10,000 dollars on freight and ninety-three passengers. The steam-ship Prometheus was at New York, with 578 ; 579 in gold-dust on freight. The Pacific arrive-d at San Juan Del Slid on - the 29th ult., witb 800,000 dollars in gold-dust on freight. From San Francisco (California) we have advicas to the 15th ult. More Lynching bad taken place. The Indians were troublesome. Busin e ss had been a little more active, but the quantity of goods forced upon the market at auction kept prices very low. Exchange at par. Guld dust ranged from 16 dollars to 17 dollars, more discrimination being exercised in regard to quality. From Ilavannah we have advices to the 2d instant, but the intelligence is very indefinite and conflicting. It was rumoured that armed forces were gathering in the Florida llPef, and that part of the fleet had been dispatched to that quarter. The issue of the Government paper had been pro hibited until after the departure of the American steamers. Many executions bad taken place, and it is said hat the soldiers had refused to fire on the condemned. Many of the troops from Spain had died from the effects of the climate. There was a report of an insurrection at Mstanzas. Strict vigilance was exercised by the Government. An engagement is reported to have taken place in the district of V►lla Clara, resulting in the success of the rebels, who were joined by many of the soldiers. According to official accounts the rising in Trinidad bad been completely quelled, and the insurrections were generally being suppressed. The Spanish squadron had been sent out to inter cept the Lopez expedition, v. hich had sailed from New York with ammunition' and a budy of engineers, corn • posed of refugees. In the Stock Market speculative stocks had con siderably declined. Government and other leading securities were firm. There was rather more stringency in the money market, owing to the shipment per Niagara to Liverpool. No failure of importance had occurred. s _ _ The supply of bills of foreign exchange had been fully equal to the demand.

Not contented with having intro duced to us a new prima donna within a fortnight of the conclusion of the season, he on Saturday sur prised and delighted the public by the announcement that he had engaged Mdlle. Cerito for the remainder of the season, and that she would make her first ap pearance these three years on that evening. The announcement of the re-appearance of the •' little realist of Naples," drew, as might have been expected, a crowded house; and we are happy to say that Cerito returns to us the same graceful fascinating sylph that she ever was. In others dancing seems en art, in her it is nature. She dances because she loves it, because she cannot help it ; there is a spontaniety and grace about her dancing, such an utter absence of all appearance of efE-c', that it would seem as though dancing were her natural method of locomotion. Had dancing never been invented until her time most as suredly . Cerito would have invented it. The ballet in which she appeared was Ondine, a character which no one has ventured upon ex cept herself, and she was the same light, airy, graceful Outline that she was when she created that part. The shadow dance is a perfect marvel of gracefulness ; it is indeed " the poetry of motion." Cerito, and Clerito alone could do justice to the shadow dance. The ballet was preceded by the Figlia del Beggimento, with Madame S.mtag as Maria. The house was densely crowded in every part. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The well•known Mr. Barnum having engaged Kate and Ellen Bateman, two children of the ages of eight and six years, whose dramatic performances have excited the greatest admiration in America, to give a series of representations in this country, they made their first appearenoe before an English audience at a dress rehearsal on Saturday last, in the fifth act of Richard 111., and an adaptivion of a petite comedy wrist. n expressly for them by M. Scribe, entitled Th . e Young Couple. The character of Richmond was sustained by Kate, and that of Richard by Ellen Bateman, in a manner that was truly wonderful, con sidernig their youth ; but the next piece, The Young Couple, was much better adapted to them. The plot is very slight, and the piece is entirely supported by the two children, whose performance of the young Charles de Blonville and Henrietta de Vigny is much more natural and pleasing than that of the Richard and Richmond of Shakespere. The same performance is to be repeated this evening, together with other entertainments supported by an efficient dramatic company. It is well worth a visit to the theatre to see these youthful prodigies, and no doubt this will prove as profitable to the enterprising Mr. Barnum as his other speculations. RE-OPENING OF BLACKFRIARs-BRlDGE,—Arrange ments have been made for this purpose of facilitating the works at B'ackfriars-bridge,so that the important thorough fare may be thrown open to th is p ublic as early as possible, there having been of late several complaints from the pro prietors of vehicles plying from the City and the eastern and western suburbs to the southern side of the Thames of the eircuitous route they have been compelled to take since the bridge has been closed. Complaint has been made that the whole of the carriage-way was blocked at one time, but this was not ordere d b y the Brid ge - house Esta tes Committee until it was found that if the half was left open, some da mage might result, and further that the works wouldhail ce !wily have occupied a much longer period. Dir. w ick has pared half the new work, and - t is expeeteithat of t the whole will be completed by the latt er end n Mn b n is . week, so that the bridge may be fully thro wn day next. Mr. Walk e r, the engi neer, and.iporti Pe b d e n r e, s o ci en t fic and, e men, are of opinion that the lighteUlo of t removal of the portion of the side walls ohveer thedefecive h e ki n g a nd render the piers, will prevent their further bridge perf ec tly a ble to bear the enormous weight of traffic constantly passing over it. Her Majesty bag been graci ousl y p leased to direct that the order hamermitting private carriages to pa ss through Buckingand Statile-yard gates, into and out of St. Ja g mes's Park, which will expire on the 31st of this month, be renewed for six months, from the 2d of Septem ber next. During Lord Holland's last illus., George Selwyn called and left his card.

Blker, one of the coroners for Middlesex, opened an inquiry, before a respectable jury, at the Waite Hart Inn, Tottenham hall, touch ing the suicide of Carl Criglo. As might be imagined, the proceedings created a deep interest. The jury having been duly sworn, they went and viewed the body of the unfortunate deceased. It was that of a fine, tall, well-furmed man. The chest was exposed for the examination of the jury, and six or seven punctured wounds were observable in the regions of the heart and stomach. This melancholy duty having been performed, the following evidence was gone into :-- Mr. William Henry Brand, the husband and father of the wounded ladies, said :—I am a clerk at a bankers in the City. I have known the deceased since January last. He was a na'ive of Itattenbrech, near Schwelw, in Westphalia, Bud was a kind of agent or merchant for hi, father, who was a steel manufacturer. He also acted for other houses. When he first came to England, he lotiged at my house at tim.s. lie was iu the habit of leaving for a short time, and then returning. He was vtry strange in his habits, and about a tnouth alter be had been with to, he audd.nly left, and we could hear n o tidings of him. Kn ow i ng t h at h e h a d n o friends i n E 'gland, and thinkiog that he might have fallen into had hands, I made an application to the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion .house, with a view of getting his d.scription and mysterious disappearance made known. He came back in the course of three siveek4, and, to show his state of mind, I will read an extract of a letter which I received from him at Sheffield, dated April the 13th: " Wherever I go you strike me incognito. You drive me from town to town, and you follow me through England, and force me to spend my money." We had been on the best of terms, and when he came hack and was shown the letter, he could scarcely be l'iheevae ltihvaetd a hec t ould have penned such an epistle. He Sf often visited d e G (German) mm:y house, u) Ho s t e e , L and in I may a a Finsbury square, but he e that a more religious and mora l man never lived. I h frequently noticed his melancholy demeanour. In March last he was disappoi nte d in not seeing his b ro ther, and since then th ere was a strange change in his conduct. On last Mond ay t h ree weeks he came to our house, and informed us th at h e h a d b een ad vised to return to his native country, and arrange ments were made for the ladies to see him off by the steam-boat on the following Wednesday morning; but, on going to the wharf, I found that he had no t been at the hotel all night, and nothing was known as to where he had gone, although he had left hie luggage behind. On Tu,sday last he returned to th e hotel, and on 'Wednesday morning, about eleven o'clock, he came down to my house. He left early in the afternoon, and returned to the hotel, where he dined. He suddenly left the dinner table, ran up stairs to hi s b e d room, and, in a few minutes, came down, and hastened back to Tottenham. He came to the fr on t gate o f m y co tta g e, and seemed quite agitated. My daughter's first impulse was to shut the door, but he got to it before she could close it. He said to her twice, " Miss Brand, are you alone P" She replied that her mother was in an adjoining room. He then rushed at her and stabbed her. CORONER—Were you present ? Witness—No, I was not. lam stating only what they told me, and altogether I don't think they could give you so many facts as I can. CORONER—But I cannot take your testimony as evidence of the fact ; and yet I don't wish to agitate the state of the wounded females by subjecting them to an examination on oath. If one of them had been killed, the inquiry would have assumed a very serious aspect, but as the deceased has destroyed himself, our duty is to confine ourselves simply to his state of mind. Are the females in a condition to give evi• dente ? Mr. Clark, the medical attendant, thought there would be no danger in examining .Misa Brand, but it muet be done in her room. The CORONER still declined that course, unless it was really necessary. Mr. Brand, in answer to the Coroner, stated that the deceased bad paid particular attention to bis daughter, and was her accepted suitor. They were engaged in marriage, and he had expressed no objec tion to it, if the deceased secured himself in a regular and certain way of business, They had never quar relled. He bad no doubt that the deceased destroy ed himself and stabbed Mrs. and Miss Brand while in an unsound state of mind. Mr. William Ryder, the Tottenham station-master of tte Eastern Counties Itailwqy, stated that at twenty-two minutes to eight o'clock on Wednesday. evening, his attention was called to Mr. Brand's cot tage, by hearing that his wife and daughter had bean stubb.-d by some man who was in the house. He went in and saw the deceased crouched down in a corner of the wsAhouse. Blood was flowing from his chest. lie was not dead. His head rested on witness's knees, and after giving two or three gasps he expired. The dagger with which he stabbed himself was found close to the b(dy. The constable here produced the weapon. It was a kind of Spanish dagger; the point was broken, and the blade besmeared with blood. Another dagger, of the stiletto shape, with a spring-backed blade, WOIS also d'scovered in his po,,session. It seems that be had been in the habit of currying them about with him since his residence in this country, and that he had brought them frotn Germany. Several of the jury regretted that something bad not been done to prevent him from walking abroad with such weapons while in the state described. Mr. J. Clark, surgeon, of Tottenham, deposed to being called to the deceased and Mrs. and Miss Brand, on Wednesday evening. Found the deceased dead. There were three wounds in the region of the stomach, and two in the region of the heart. There was also a cut on the side, and another on the thigh. CORONER—CouId the d e ceased have i n fli c t e d those injuries on himself ? Witness—l saw nothing to lead me to suppose that they hlcl not been done by himself; and judging from his past conduct, and the acts we are inqu;ring into, I should say that he was of unsound mind. Mrs. Brand was stabbed in the upper part of the left side, and Miss Brand in the right breast, One of the fingers cif her left hand was cut as if by a sharp instrument drawn through it. By a Juror—lt is certainly not impossible that the deceased could have inflicted the wounds himself. The CORONER here salt the inquiry bad better be adjourned. It was possible perhaps, that the females might have inflicted the injuries on the deceased in self-defence, but certainly very improbable; besides, it would tend to remove any reports that might be raised prejudicial to the ladies. The proceedings were accordingly adjourned, for one of the ladies to give evidence of the fact in doubt. Mr. BENEDICT.—The return of this accomplished and popular musician, from his tour in North and South America with Mdlle. Jenny Lind, will be hailed with una nimous satisfaction. It has been erroneously circulated that Mr. Benedict intends to retire from active life, and rest upon the laurels and the fortune he has reaped by his exer tions in the New World. The truth is just the contrary. Mr. Benedict has no idea of i elinquishing the eminent position he has so long and honourably maintained in this country. He will immediately resume the duties interrupted by his temporary absence—as much as ever a professor, and, if we be not mistaken, more than ever in request. Such a man could not well be spared. As a pianist, as a teacher, as a conductor, as an accompanyist, and last, not least, as a composer, Mr. Benedict decidedly stands in the first rank. His abandonment of any one of these capacities would be a Source of regret to all who interest themselves in musical matters. We have, therefore, the greater pleasure in au art nounciag that one so universally respected, both by that amateurs and musicians, will continue to exercise of which he is assuredly one of the most distinguished _.. repre sentatives.

T HE STATE or LIVERPOOL ASSIZE Corrwrs.--Dur ing an important special jury Causes on Saturday, the pro ceedings were many times interrupted by the Learned Judge (Mr. Justice Williams) communicating with the Sheriff in regard to the unbearable state of the hall. While the body of the court was at one time so densely suffocating that it was almost impossible to breathe, the next moment a puffof air would blow the papers from before his Lordship on the bench. Alter sundry ineffectual attempts on the part of the Under-Sheriff and his men to improve this state of things, the side-doors were closed, and the bench and bar consigned to the horrid sensation of a close crowded court, resembling the far-famed black hole of Calcutta. • The Cambrian Archacological Association held its first meeting on Th ur sday ev e ning, at Tenby; the Earl of Earl, Cawdor, the president-ele c t. in the chair.
