Bulwer that a few of the members of the New York Yacht Club are building a schooner, which it is their intention to bring over to England this summer, I have taken the liberty of writing to you, in your capacity of com modore, to request you to convey to them, and any friends that may accompany them on board the yacht, an invitation, on the part of myself and the members of the Royal Yacht Squadron, to become visitors of the Club House at Cowes during their stay in England. " For myself, I may be permitted to say that I shall have great pleasure in extending to your coun trymen any eivility that lies in my power, and shall be very glad to avail myself of any improvements in shipbuilding that the industry and skill of your na tion have enabled you to elaborate. " I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, " V.Tivrorr, Commodore o f th e R. Y. S.' "`New York, March 26, 1851. "My Lord,—l regret that accident prevented the reception of your letter until after the packet of th e 12th had sailed. I take the earliest opportunity offered to convey to the gentlemen of the Royal Yacht Club, and to yourself, the expression of our warmest thanks for your invitation to visit the Club House at Cowes. Some four or five friends and my self h ave a yacht on the stocks, which we hope to launch in the course of two or three weeks. Should she answer the sanguine expectations of her builder, aad fulfil the stipulation s he has made, we propose to avail ourselves of your friendly bidding, and take with a good grace the sound thrashing we are likely to get by venturing our long. shore craft on your rough waters. I fear the 'energy and experience of your persevering yachtsmen w f ittlohlemipreroetve an overmatch f o r Shouldthe industry ysachn schooner skillne fail o the as piring expectations competitors.of her builder, not the least of our regrets will be to have lost the opportunity of personally thanking the gentlemen of the Royal Yacht Squadron and yourself for your considerate kindness. With the hope that we may have the pleasure of reciprocating a favour so frankly bestowed, I remain your Lordship's most obedient servant, (Signed) " JOXIN C. STEVENS, " Commodore of the New York Yacht Club.' " There had previously been some talk of a race with yachts of Engl an d, and .H. B rown , t h e well.known the Wm and skilful shipbuilder, had undertaken to build a schooner that should outsell any vessel at home or abroad, and he agreed to make the purchase of her contingent upon her success. His offer was accepted by the Yacht Club, and the America was built, but she failed in repeated trials to beat Com modore Steven's yacht Maria, and, of, course, the club were not bound to purchase. But the. liberality of Mr. Brown's original offer was so great in assu ming all the risk, and the vessel, in fact, proved her self so fast, that several gentlemen, the Commodore at the head s determined to buy her and send her out. She was purchased accordingly and sent to Havre, there to await the arrival of the members of the club who were to sail her, they following in a steamer. Being completed and made ready at Havre, we sailed thence to Cowes.. Our arrival was greeted with every hospitality and courtesy, not only by the noblemen and gentlemen of the Royal Yacht Club, but by the officers of Government. Lord Palmerston sent down an order that the Ame rica should be admitted in all the English ports ois the footing of English yachts—the Custom -houses were all free to her—and the Admiral of the station at Portsmouth offered every assistance and civility. The Earl of Wilton and the veteran Marquis of Anglesea, now eighty years of age, were among the first visitors on board, and they and all the members and officere of the Yacht Club, and numberless others, evinced in every manner the kindest feelings, and showed us the most delicate attention. As the America was an ob ject of great interest, the Admiral applied to our Com modore to know if there would be any ohjettion to taking the line. The Commodore, with his instinc tive sense of right, replied that he 'considered the lines and model of the America as the property of the builder, and that he did not feel at liberty to per mit them to be copied. The Admiral instantly ac quiesced in this view, and gave an order that none under his command should attempt to take the lines of the America. When the time for the re gatta came, which was to take place on the most dangerous course possible for a stranger, in the waters of the isle of Wight —with their currents and eddies, familiar only to those accustomed to tbe water— great solicitude was naturally felt as to the pilot that was to be employed. Warnings of all sorts from various quarters reached us not to rely too much on any pilot that might offer, and our Commodore was naturally perplexed. But here again the Admiral, with an intuitive perception of the difficulty—of which no mention, nevertheless, was ever made to him--told Commodore Stevens that he would furnish him with a pilot, for whom he himself would be answerable. The offer was as frankly accepted as it was honourably made. The pilot came on board, and never for a moment was there a suspicion on any mind that he was not as thoroughly honest and re liable as any one of ourselves. Yet so strong was the distrust among our countrymen outside that, even after the pilot was in charge, the Commodore was warned, by letter, not to trust too much to him, and urged to take another pilot to overlook him. His own loyal character would not entertain such a proposition. He gave his confidence to the pilot the Admiral sent him, and it was most completely justified. Bat no one now can realize the anxieties of that contest, for we knew the g; ound was most unfavourable for us. When the yachts got off, while the wind was fresh we went away easily; but twice the wind failed us, and, with a strong bead tide, we were actually drift ing back, while lighter vessels, with a greater and lo ttier spread of canvass, taking advantages of small draught of water and eddies known to them, were gradually overhauling us. But at last the wind came, and with it victory, and we sailed away from our competitors far and fast. The Queen, in her steam yacht, was there to witness the race; and after entering the Needles, so great was the anxiety of the Sovereign to ascertain the state of the race that Lord Paget was stationed off the point to make signal to the royal steamer as to who was ahead. Then oc curred those questions and answers—' Who leads ?' The America.' Who is second ?" No one.' The return of our vessel, far in advance of all the squad ron, was greeted with as much warmth of acclama tion as though it had been in our own harbour; and it is only fair to say that fair play and manly acknow ledgment of a fair beat were never more honourably exhibited.—[Mr. Hamilton sat down amidst pro longed cheering]." [PRICE SD. MARINE SOCIETY. Yesterday afternoon a general court of governors was held at the premises of the society in Bishopsgate street, Capt. T. P. Clarke, R.N., presiding. The report of the committee stated that on the Ist of July last there were 108 boys on board the society's ship, and 118 had I)en received during the quarter, giving a total of 226.

TIL On Mondaythe Freema sons ' Tavern ' l:4l gr b e l at ie meeting* was held in nCigOhtUaNii: COURTS. Queen's-street, of the solicitors of the metropOliaitaterested- in the practice of the county courts. Mi. Clarke, a solicitor, was called to th e c h a i r. • • The CHAIRMA.N said tyss, ealhaig of the present and d eti d n i g so vi u • s a s s athneiiruvpitraetsiel PW , to the profession to meet , courts, and to d e t erm i ne emthe it to n ur i s n e tthheey county pursue in the c i rcums t ances ins, which they were placed. Greet 'complaiati had Loden made, but no one seemed disposed to .ct, and hence the necessity that had now arisen of 7 seriously considering how to remedy the evil. Had they 'acted as they ought to have done, they would not now be placed in their pre sent degraded position. It vas well known to them all the great change that hadlaken place in the jurispru -1 dente of this cou n t ry . H e remem b ere d w h en t h e c h ange was first proposed, that ale large houses throughout the metropolis laughed atahe idea of the county courts, and said they were confident they would never be come the law of the land: The result, however, had been that these courts were established, and many of the houses he alluded to, and 'in which formerly ten or twelve clerks were employed, liaw employed only two or three. It was known to the gentlemen present that in the last session of Parliaftent the attorneys had been charged by no less rs °nage than the Attorney-General of having Consisined together to oust the barristers from the practice of the county courts. Now they all knew at this was an entirely unfounded stat emen t, :t no such orga nization existed.—(liear, hear.'" • tathern show the her that no unfriendly feeling existed, and in any arrangement which they might determine to propose to the bar, let them make this condition, that the bar should meet them fairly in the position in which they were placed, and if they did not do so, the bar risters might depend upon itthat they would eventually be ousted from the county courts. If the 9th and 10. h sections of the Act were, repealed, which enacted that no barrister could act without being instructed by an attorney, it would lead to a system of touting which would be disgraceful to the profession. It was to consider of a remedy for the present state of things that the meeting had been called that night. The functions of an attorney arid of a barrister were quite different, and had hithertd been kept quite distinct in this country; but now in the county courts they had combined the duties of attorney and advocate, and hence the feeling .that prevailed that the attorneys wished to make a monopoly of the county courts. Such being the case, he thought it would be advisable that some arrangement should be made, and he would suggest that in actions above 201. they should propose that counsel should be instructed, and that in actions under 201. that barristers should not appear. He thought 'that such an arrangement would be a good one.—(No, no.) At all events he thought it was a subject fir their consideration. He believed the most formidable opposition they had to contend with was on the . kround that the suitor had to fee both barrister and Attorney. On the Northern Circuit an arrangement ~had been come to, under which the barristers had agreed to take a brief of one guinea. In the superior courts, as they were aware, the junior barristers made half-guinea motions, and there was no reason, therefore, why it might not be arranged that fees of one guinea should be given, and that the barristers should agree to divide, where in cases of a guinea fee. As to the powers possessed by the judge t s of the county courts, he would observe that these judges were armed with a power which the judicial bench had not possessed since the time of William Rufus. Talk about arrest upon mesne process! why, the gaols throughout the country were filled with prisoners from the county courts, and some of these prisoners were imprisoned for the non-payment of a few shillings.—(Hear.) As an instance of the arbitrary conduct of some of the county court judges, ha knew the case of a man who, happening to put his hat on his head on the threshold of the court on leaving, he was recalled by the I judge, and although he protested he intended no in sult to the court, he was, nevertheless, ordered into custody till the' rising of the court. In another case in which he himself had pleaded a set-off in an action before another county court judge, the latter peremptorily refused to allow him to prove his plea—told him he might bring a cross action, and threatened him with the conse quences if he persisted.—{aear.)sTow the advantage of having a bar in the county courts, he thought would be that the judge would not dare to pursue such conduct to a member of the bar; and he (the chair man) was of opinion that the firmness and independ ence of the bar bad proved to be the bulwark of their liberties. Even the judges of the superior courts feared tho independence of the bar, and he believed the judges of the county courts would pay more attention to what fell from a gentleman of their own profession, and who might be of higher standing in the profes sion than the judge him se lf, than they would pay to attorneys. He thought theref o r e an arrangement with the bar would be, an advantge to them, and that by having an occasional bar, they would have better law and a better chanCe of justice to the suitor, taking care that under any arrangement that might be made the public would not be made to suffer. The chairman concluded by suggesting a resolution to the following effect, and which be hoped would b re e e f e o t r w m i e t d, with e th o e b i s r ist a iug pprobation :--." That a committee power oft t o w eandtdy to ofotuher their attorneys nu mbeoo,f who metropolis ( w ith shall place themselves in communication with those barristers who are desirous of forming a metropolitan scuodunottybecrourtbar, preliminaries,inorder to arrange a scale of fees ilp which counselcounty-court bu • sinews m a y b e conducted to the advantage and attorneys, with ou t a ff ecting the suitor. " Mr. E LIOIART t h oug h t that the arrangement made with the barrist ers wou l d be on the understand i ng of that one attorney should not give a brief to another. Mr. LEWIS, of Boswell court, was of opinion that any opprobrium that existed in the present case should rest on the proper quarter, and he thought that the present meeting, instead of being held in Freemasons'-hall, should have been held in a certain hall in Chanceryslane. Until the last mo ment the Law Institution had always been behind band in defending the legal profession.—(Hear.) He was of opinion that the evil complained of arose not from the want of a bar, but from the ap pointment of incapable and intemperate men as judges, except in a few cases, and he thought they ought not to separate without ex pressing a hope that the Law Institution would take up the subject. He concluded by moving a resolution as follows :-" That a requisition to the council of the Law Institution, and to the ma naging committee of the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Institution, be drawn up, and signed by mem bers of the profession, requesting the council to take the necessary steps for promoting a proper under standing between the two branches of the profession on the subject of county courts advocacy, and, for tbat purpose, to call a general meeting of the profes sion at large on the subject at an early day." Mr. DEVONSHIRE seconded the resolution. Mr. SasaN, as secretary t o th e M e t ropo lit an and Provisional Law Institution, felt certain that that body would give every support to the object of the meeting. He differed with Mr. Lewis as to the opinion he had expressed respecting the Law Insti tution, as he (Mr. Shaen) could say, speaking from some years' experience, that that institution spe n t an immense deal of time and money to do good to th e profession. He could not he lp saying that he thought the law constituting c ount y co urts should be altered, and that there should be an appeal to the superior courts, by which means g r eater justice would be done between man and man, and there would be a resolution. To the greater uniformity in the dec isions of these courts. Mr. POOLE was opposed to be no great benefit to the barristers, an d would be a attempt to alter the pre sent s y ste m would, he thought, profession, and h oldest member in the had practised in great loss to the attorneys. He was, perhaps, the the colonies, where advo cac y was open to solicitors as well as to barristers. Mr. Hariarsori agreed with the last s p ea k er as to the practice of the colon ies, wher e advocacy was op en profession, and h e th oug h t they t were both aching that stat e o f thi ngs i n this country. If the reforms 'n the law w en t on both branches of the profession'must be amalgamated. branches rapidly He thought the a ttorneys should not give up the posi tionde, and he would they had lately ma resolution. Mr. SAUNDERS, a barristerabaving been permitted among the barristers as Let all, he said, to the conduct of attorneys. them to speak, shortly address ed the meetin g . He denied that there wa: any comp l a int come together, some r, furthernd if the discussion, to n in which M r. Fitch, eys invaded the pro vince of the barristers, • latter must invade the province of the attorneys.—(Hear and laughter.) After Mr. Parsons, and other gentlemen took part, the re solution of Mr. Lewis was put and agreed to. Thanks were then given to t h e Chairman, and the getata the r meeting separated. THE STRIKE AT THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY Tl;a3lllius.—Yesterday morning the workme n a t the ter minus of th e G rea t Northern Railway, at King's-cross, re sumed their labours, a settlement of the differences between the men and the contractors having been wade on Monday afternoon. COURT OF AL DER itEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of public business. THE NEW CITY OF LONDON CORPORATION BILL. Sir PETER LAURIE withdrew the motion of which he had given notice relative to the qualification of aldermen, and the limitation of the period for which they should be elected, according to the New Cor poration Bill. His object in withdrawing the motion was, ohat he might have an opportunity of taking the whole subject into consideration in a special court, for the appointment of which it was his inten tion to apply. THE RECENT CITY VISIT TO PARIS. Alderman WILSON brought up the report of the Privileges Committee, with the draft. of resolutions of thanks to the President of the French Republic and the Prefect de la Seine, &c., on the late visit of the Lord Mayor and Aldermen, &c., to Paris. Agreed to unanimously. THE CITY BALL TO THE QUEEN. Alderman WILSON also brought up the report of the Privileges Committee, on the reference to consider the invitations given to the Aldermen on the occasion of the Queen attending the ball on the 9th of July last, and the ceremonial observed on that occasion ; and for payment of the bills and accounts, &c., re specting the same. Agreed to unanimously. The report on the reference upon the present state of the municipal constituency was read. It recom mended that, as the subject was before the Court of Common Council, a committee of the Court of Alder men should confer with the Freedoms Committee of the former court, and make such suggestions as might appear to be necessary in accordance with the opinion of the tatter. Unanimously agreed to, and the committee ap pointed to take measures accordingly. A report was brought up from the Immanuel Hos pital Committee on the communications from the Ord nance-office and Commissioners of Westminster Im provements, respecting the purchase of the site of the hospital. It recommended that the City should not agree to the sale of the property.---Unanimously agreed to. A report from the General Purposes Committee ad vised that a lunatic asylum for the poor of the city of London should be built. It was adopted ; and mea sures were ordered to be taken accordingly. THE NEW PRISON AT HOLLOWAY. Alderman COPELAND rose to move "That it be re ferred to the Gaol Committee to consider and report whether any and what steps shall be taken in respect of the appointment of a governor and other officers to the new prison at Holloway." In submitting the motion to the Court he expressed a hope that the gaol, or rather the splendid palace, which they had, after a long fight with the Government, been com- Tgelled to build, wou ld prove to b e advantageous. For he purpose of rendering it really serviceable, the Court were bound to obtain all the important facts connected with the improved system of other prisons, and to adopt whatever appeared to be calculated to carry out the great objects of the magistracy.— (Hear, hear.) He apprehended that this city was behindhand iu the great points of prison discipline, and that the staff of officers to whom the duties de volved were not qualified to carry into effect the en larged and enlightened plan it would be necessary to adopt in a spacious building, possessing all the facili ties of bringing into play those philanthropic inten tions which could not be acted upon in the contracted area of Giltspur-street prison.—(Murmurs.) He be lieved that the magistracy had done all that could be done to render that gaol efficient, but the building was not at all adapted for the purposes of a gaol, and he called upon the Court to take it into their consi deration that the eyes of the public and of Govern ment were upon them in the matter of the new prison, and to secure themselves from the condemnation which would attach to their body if they did not exercise great caution in gathering the necessary knowledge from the best sources of information. Alderman WILSON seconded the motion. Alderman CHALLIS (the Chairman of the Gaol Committee) said that no body of officers could be found any where who performed their duties with more zeal and ability than the officers of Giltepur street Compter.—(Rear.) He could show that no gaol was, or could be, better managed or better ar ranged. He admitted that it was not adapted to the new system, but the new prison could, at the cost of 100,0001., be fitted to all emergencies, and the most effectual means were being taken to bestow upon it the improvements which the American and continental prisons, as well as the best models in this country, were capable of suggesting.—(Hear, hear.) He Aldermandis approved would h e C s o o p r e r l y a ninddebeed caapupsrpoviet dwoafs premature,th if such observations as had been j us t ma d e s h ou ld go abroad, to the disparagement of a bl e an d ass id uous emotion and of officer', without being met by a complete denial.— (Hear, hear.) In fact, if the Court were to sanction such a course of condemnation, they must involve themselves in the charge by continuing in employ ment persons who were not qualified, by their expe rience and talents, to occupy in the new building situations similar to those which they held in the old. His great objection, however, to the motion was, that it was premature.—(Hear, hear.) Alderman LAWRENCE thought it would be quite time enough to talk of the appointment of officers for the new prison some months hence. The change which might take place in prison discipline in a very short time might be such as would require very dif ferent qualifications from those possessed by the officers at present employed.—(Hear.) Giltspur street Compter would in all probability be still neces sary to be retained for the safe custody of remanded prisoners, as well as for the confinement of prisoners sentenced to undergo short punishments, and New gate must be still the place of reception for those who were waiting for trial. It might be advisable to send some of the officers of these prisons to the prison at Holloway, in which the improved discipline was to be carried out. At all events, the adoption of the motion at the present time could not be attended with any beneficial effect. Alderman WIRE utterly disapproved of the con demnation of the officers, which, he contended, was a reflection upon the Court itself. He believed that if the motion passed a door would be opened at once to all sorts of jobbing corruption.—(Hear, hear.) He assured the Court that he had himself received up wards of 200 letters, soliciting his aid in procuring the situations with which it was supposed the insti tution would abound, and he wished to check the active efforts which were thus being made to subject every member of the Court to the most intolerable annoyance.--(Hear.) Alderman COPELAND replied. He denied, in the most positive manner, that Giltsper-street Compter was a well-arranged prison. He considered it to be the very worst he had ever known, and he would re fer to the entries in the books for the last two or three years in proof of the accuracy of his statement. The motion was then negatived. Alderman FAREBROTHER moved " That it be re ferred to a committee to inquire whether it is desi rable that the provisions contained in the 20th section of the Central Criminal Court Act, authorising the payment of a salary in lieu of fees to the officers of that court, be carried out in the case of the clerk of that court; and if so, to report as to the amount of such salary, taking into consideration the various officers payable by him, and the general expenses in cident to his office." n the course of his observations on the subject, Alderman Farebrother took the op portunity to speak in the highest terms of the learn ing, zeal, and ability of Mr. Clarke, whom, he said, he had had the honour, when Lord Mayor, to ap point to the office which had been filled with so much advantage to the country, in the opinion, not only of the citizens of London, but of the judges of the land. The motion was agreed to unanimously. Upon the motion of Alderman WiLsont, the fol lowing motion was agreed to unanimously : "The Court of Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Com mons, in Common Council assembled, having agreed to the following resolution, That every person who shall occupy premises in the city of London for a period of a year and a day, and shall pay scot and bear lot, shall be a freeman and citizen, and shall be entitled to all the benefits aonndfprormiuvititlyetghNeevsir,tohalnitdohfebevaobstuoebvres ject to all the duti es th e r e of,' that it be r e f erre d to the Privileges Committee to consider and d e t erm i ne upon the expediency, or otherwise, of dir ec ti ng t h e b eadles of f f a t i f i l e p s e e rs v o e o ra s l q w o a a r l d ifi a, ed in io o making conformity St. Thomas's-day next, t o i nsert t h erein the names resolution.'—Adjourned. CITY SEWERS. Yesterday the Commissioners assembled at Guil6. gall ; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair. As there was no notice of motion or business of any kind upon the paper, an opportunity was taken by one of the members who are in the habit of complain ing of the indefatigable labours of the Great Central Gas Company, to denounce that company for the hundredth time on account of the confusion and in convenience occasioned by the unavoidable removal of the pavement for the extension of its operations. Mr. HENRY BLAkE lamented the extraordinary monomania under w hi c h hi s worthy friend, w h o was really sane ' upon most other questions, seemed to suffer the tnoinent tin excuse presented itself for a.. /tacking th e j ustly -popular measure; and he hoped that any further allusion to it would be humanely discountenanced by the Court. —(Laughter.) Mr. H. L. TArr.ou said he considered that the state of the pavements in the City of London, arising from the injurious operations of the company, was such as to call for inquiry of the most serious kind, as the Court would find to be the case when application would be made for the payment of the enormous ex penses incurred. Mr. HAYWOOD, in answer to a question from the Chairman relative to the pavement expenses, said that the company had already paid the sum of 16,000/. for the disturbance and restoration of the pavement occa sioned by their works, and that the Court had not paid, and would not be called upon by the Great Central Gas Comp any to pay, a farthing towards that object. SUPPLY OF WATER. The report of the medical officer of Health, in al luding to the state of Windsor-street, 13ishopsgate, as to the supply of water, stated that, upon inquiry, it had been found that the New River Company had not a high service main near enough to afford to that lo cality the necessary supply. The Court immediately decided that the premises in which the deficiency of water was complained of should be supplied forthwith, and directed the chief clerk to write to the directors of the New River Com pany, requesting that a high service main might be laid on accordingly.—Adjourned. TIM NEW Y ORK YACHT CLUB. The return of Commodore Stevens, the gallant commander of the America, to New York, has been celebrated in that city by a sumptuous banquet. The subjoined extr ac t s f rom C ommodore Steven's reply to a toast in his honour will be read with interest by those who witnessed the recent matches at Cowes, and with pleasure by the personal friends of the gal lant Commodore : " Gentlemen" (said Mr. Stevens) " you may per haps have observed that my hair is somewhat grayer than it was when I last met you. I'll tell you how it happened. In coming from Havre, we were obliged, by the darkness of the night and a thick fog, to anchor some five or six miles from Cowes. In the morning early the tide was against us, and it was dead calm. At nine o'clock a gentle breeze sprung up and with it came gliding down the Laverock, one of the newest and fastest cutters of her class. The news spread like lightning that the Yankee clipper had arrived, and that the Laverock had gone down to show her the way up. The yachts and vessels in the harbour, the wharfs, and windows of all the houses bordering on them, were filled with thousands of spectators, watching with eager eyes the eventful trial they saw we could not escape; for the Laverock stuck to us, sometimes laying to, and sometimes tacking around us, evidently s h ow i ng she had no i n t ent i on of quitting us. We were loaded with extra sails, with beef and pork, and bread enough for an East India voyage, and were some four or five inches too deep in the water. We got up our sails with heavy hearts—the wind bad in creased to a five or six knot breeze ; and after waiting until we were ashamed to wait longer, we let her get about 200 yards ahead, and then started in her wake. I have seen and been engaged in many exciting trials at sea and on shore. I made the match with Eclipse against Sir Henry, and had heavy sums, both for myself and for my friends, depending upon the result. I saw Eclipse lose the first heat and four-fifths of the second, without feeling one-hundredth part of the responsibility, and without suffering one-hundredth part of the trepidation I felt at the thought of being beaten by the Laverock in this eventful trial. During the first five minutes not a sound was heard, save, perhaps, the beating of our anxious hearts, or the slight ripple of the water upon her sword-like stem. The Captain was crouched down upon the floor of the cock-pit, his seemingly .unconscious hand upon the tiller, with his stern, unaltered gaze upon the vessel ahead. The men were motionless as statues, with their eager eyes fastened upon the Laverock with a fixedness and intensity that seemed almost super natural. The pencil of an artist might, perhaps, convey the expression, but no words can describe it. It could not, nor did not, last long. We worked quickly and surely to windward of her wake. The crisis was past ; and some dozen of deep drawn sighs proved that the agony was over. We came to anchor a quarter, or, perhaps, a third of a mile ahead, and twenty minutes after our anchor was down the Earl of Wilton and his family were on board to welcome and introduce us to his friends. To himself and family, to the Marquis of Anglesea and his son, Lord Alfred Paget, to Sir Bel lingham Graham, and a host of other noblemen and gentlemen, were we indebted for a reception as hos pitable and frank as ever was given to prince or pea sant. From the Queen herself we received a mark of attention rarely accorded even to the highest among her own subjects ; and I was given to understand that it was not only intended as a - courtesy extended to myself and friends, but also as a proof of the estima tion in which she held our country ; thereby giving a significance to the compliment infinitely more ac ceptable and valuable. Long may the bond of kin dred affection and interest that binds us together at present remain unbroken. As a further proof of the feeling of the Government and the people towards us, I will mention the following act of kindness :—We had the misfortune the day before the race with the Titania to knock off a part of our outer shoe. This rendered it necessary that we should haul her out ; and we repaired to the Government dock at Ports mouth for the purpose. On the instant the applica tion was made, an order was issued by the Admiral to repair her in the shortest time possible. If you could have witnessed the vigour and good will exhibited, from the Admiral down to the humblest mechanic of the yard, to complete her for the nest day's race, you would, I am sure, have felt the obligation (rendered so doubly binding by the manner in which it was tendered) as deeply and sincerely as ourselves, and would regret, as much and as sincerely as ourselves, that any cause of quarrel should arise to separate two nations that want but to be better acquainted with each other's good qualities to become and to remain fast friends. She was docked at twelve and finished by eight o'clock the same evening. For this important service no remu neration, in any shape or way, would be listened to. The Admiral, in expressing the pleasure it gave him to do us a service, endeavoured to prevail upon us to believe the obligation to be altogether on his aide. I trust, with confidence, that if occasion should occur, this delicacy and feeling will be as promptly and as delicately reciprocated. In the race with the Titania, I suspect—although I do not know the fact—that too much of her ballast was taken out. It gave he an advantage in going before the wind, but told very much against her in returning. There was a steady breeze and a good sea running, and she fell so rapidly to leeward as to be hull down, and nearly oat of sight. We beat her, according to the secretary's re port, three or four minutes going down, and some forty-eight or fifty minutes in returning, on a wind. In the race for the Queen's Cup, there were, I think, seventeen entries, most of which, I believe, started. In addition to them there were seventy or eighty, or, per haps, one hundred, under weigh, in and about the har bour, and such a sight no other country save England can furnish. Our directions from the sailing com mittee were simple and direct; we were to start from the flag-ship at Cowes, keep the No-man's buoy on the starboard hand, and from thence make the best of our way round the island to the flag-ship from which we started. We got off before the wind and in the midst of a crowd that we cou ld not get rid of for the first eight or nine miles ; a fresh breeze then sprang up that soon cleared us from our hangers on, and sent us rapidly a-head of every yacht in the s uadron At the Needles there was not a yacht that started . with us in sight, so that the answer said to have been given to a question from a high,,p_ersonage—of who was first ? " T he America ;" Who is sec on d ?" "The" re is no second ;"—was lit W erally true. Af ter ing the Needles, we were overtaken by the royal steam-yacht Vi ctor i a and Albert, with her Majesty and her family on board, who had come down to witness the trials of speed between the models adopted by the Old World and those of the New. As the steamer slowly passed us, we had the gratification of tendering our homage to the Queen, after the fashion of h er own people, by taking off our hats, and di pp in g our flags.
