If two or more applicants are on an equality in this respect, the preference shall be given to the applicant, whose actual service in India is longest, reckoning, in the case of an officer who has not taken long extraord►nary leave or long furlough, from the date of arrival in India, and iu the case of an officer who has taken long extraor dinary leave or long furlough, from the date of his last return from such leave or furlough.

London 56, Harley-street, Cavandish-square, W. 71 Liverpool 134, Duke-street, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. REGATTA AT WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS. Worcester, Massachusetts, July 22. Boating is the solo engrossing theme of the good citizens of Worcester this evening, and the myriads of visitors who, locust-like, swarm everywhere in the city seeking what they may devour, are no less enthusiastic concerning the sport. The first day of the regatta has been most satisfactory to the public and the coutestauts themselves, as the weather, the rowing, and the attendance have been all that could be desired The extraordinary time made by the Wards this afternoon is the prevailing topic. Lake Qninsigamond was to-day the scene of great gaiety and animation, its surface being fully as thronged with exuberant holiday-makers as its shores. The rac3s were all of interest. but the general excitement of the day was concentrated in the ono between six-oared boats, in which the Harvard University crew and the famous Ward brothers were to contest again the victory won by the latter at the Boston Regatta on the 4th instant. Another fact which lent additional zest to this race was that the Yale and Harvard crews having their race on Fri day the result of it would give a probable clue to the issue of ~ the latter. An the hotel accommoda tion in the vicinity of the lake is patronised to its utmost capacity; Worcester is crowded with visitors, and the cry is, " Still they come" The junior class boat of Harvard was furnished to the Ward brothers; it is a M'Kay craft, 22 feet long, weight 1751b5. The Harvard crew rowed in the boat of the Freshmen of the class of 1871, an Elliot shell, 51.20 feet in length. The following were the crews : Ward's boat—Bank Ward, stroke; Charles Gilbert, " George" Raymond, Ellis, and Joshua, bow. Harvard boat—A. P. Loring, stroke ; George W. Ifoldrege, bow; H. C. Watson, W. ii. Simmons, J. W. M'Burney, and W. W. Richards. Thera were also the Springfield Crew, Boston Professional Ciew, and New Loudon Crew in this race; but the public appeared to realize from the first that their chances of success were hopeless. The judges were Messrs. Frank Boyce, L. N. Kimqeal, C. A. Chase, E. M. Rockwell, and James P. Hamilton. A num ber of celebrated oarsmen, among whom were Walter Brown, McKiel, Biglin, John Blue, and John Tyler, were present, and their criticisms and prophecies were listened to with almost ludicrous earnestness by the anxious throngs which lined the shores of the lake. Harvard's sons are, as may be well imagined, in great force, and the colours of the University, crimson, which were to-day worn prominently lighted up the scene charmingly, and finished a fit addi tion to the brilliancy of les belles dames. A band was sta tioned on the grand stand, whose melodies floated grace , fully far away o'er the placid surface of the lake. The racing was commenced at 2.20 p.m. by a race between wherries ; distance, two miles ; first prize, $25 ; second, $l5; open only to Worcester boats. The entries were— Phantom (shell), E. B. Hamilton; Minnie (lapstreak), J. 0. Leary ; C. 0. Russell (shell), fi. E. Duncan. This , e as a very close affair between the Phantom and Minnie, the former winning by only three seconds. Russell was dis tanced. Time, 18m. 4s. July 23. After the excitement and zeal with which the aquatic sports were pursued yesterday, it was thoroughly pleasant to rest "on one's oars" to-day, or, to speak more quially, "to take it easy." This afternoon was signalized by a base-ball match between the Freshmen Nines of Yale and Harvard Universities ; and, after some good play on both sides, resulted in a victory for the latter by 39 to 19. The Harvards did not acquit themselves creditably in the first inning, but in the second they did as they liked with the rather loose fielding of Yale. The ball to-night was a most recherche affair; Governor Bullock and many prominent citizens were present, and the lady friends of the Yale and Harvard boys, who have come to witness their grand con test to-morrow, mustered in full force. Worcester is crammed to repletion with visitors, and speculation on the event of to-morrow afternoon is fast and furious. The magnificent performance of Harvard yesterday in their race with the Wards constitutes them warm favourites, although the Yale men do not hesitate to support their representatives by money. Worcester, Mass., July 24. The single-scull race between John Tyler, of Boston, and John KcKiel, of Cold Springs, N.Y., took place this afternoon, and was won by Tyler, who made the two miles iu 14m. 525., beating 111‘Kiel by ISs. The four-oared boat race, three miles, for $2OO, was won by the Wards in 20m. 15s. In the race between the Yale and Harvard crews, the Harvards carried off the palm.

THE NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION. The proceedings of the week at Shoeburyness wen brought very near their termination on Friday by thi firing for the consolation prizes, and the presentation ci the cups and purses. The moving target shooting had been finished on the previous evening, but unfortunately nobody was able to hit the target—a result hardly tc be wondered at, seeing that the gunners had had only two days' practice with the Armstrong. The con solation practice began early on Friday morning, and was continued during the day. The presentatic% of prizes commenced shortly after three o'clock in the drill-hall of the School of Musketry, which had been deco rated with guns, bayonets, and trophies for the occasion, The attendance, differing from that of previous days, wat considerable, including the Earl and Countess Spencer, the Earl of Longford, Lord Hardinge, Colonel Wilmot Colonel Curtis, Colonel Harcourt, and several other artillery officers both of the royal and volunteer services, with a large assemblage of the /Mc of the neighbourhood. The prizes, which, except the money awards, consisted of silver cups of tasteful design, glittered imposingly on a table at the back of the plat form, in the front of which Lady Spencer stood and pre sented the prizes. The business was opened by Colonel Harcourt, who, having remarked on the improved prospects of the association, called upon the Earl of Longford to take the chair, which his lordship did amid much cheering. When doing so he complimented the volunteers warmly on the discipline they had preserved in camp, and the rigour with which they had conformed to the regulations which had beer laid down for their guidance, and which be could assure them had been framed according to the strictest military rule. Of the practice he should not speak decidedly unti: the revised scores had come before him in his officia: capacity, but this much he already could say, that with the Armstrong guns the men had worked exceedingly well, although the wind had affected their practice at the long range of 2,000 yards. Their bad success at the running target need not discourage them, as he could assure them, that in the Royal Artillery it wag considered very good, after three years' practice, tt hit the target twice in ten shots. Sir James Baird fol lowed, and the assemblage was subsequently addressed by several speakers; amongst others Earl Spencer, who dwelt upon the importance of the artillery as an arm of the volunteer force, and the inducement that therefore existe4 for supporting the Artillery Association. His lordship glanced slightly at the unfavourable reaction whict had recently taken place in public opinion respect ing the volunteers generally, in consequence of the occurrences which had taken place at Windsor, and expressed his opinion that the censures which had beer published against the volunteers for their conduct on thag. occasion were very much exaggerated. Speeches of I similar character were then delivered by Colonel Wilmot Lord Hardinge, and one or two others of the platfonz guests, after which Lady Spencer delivered the prizes tol the several winners with much grace and amid general cheering.

The Constitution states that on the island of Valentia upwards of sixty persons, many of whom are young and intelligent, have abandoned the Protestant Church to enter the Catholic fold.

Hitherto, the authorities say, "the in. habitants have reason to bo thankful that with the coot• mous drain upon their resources" the corporation has been able to do so much, and they hope thai only comparatively trifling inconvenience will result from 41 '0 precautionary measures taken.
