Furlough taken out of India will be reckoned from the date of embarkation to the date of return.

By order, ANTONIO BRADY, Registrar of Contracts and Public Securities. REGATTA AT WORCESTER, MASSACBUSETTS. 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 contestants 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 Quinsigamond was to-day the scene of great gaiety and animation, its surface being fully as thronged with exuberant holiday-makers as its shores. The races were all of interest. but the general excitement of the day was concentrated in the one 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. All 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 —Hank Ward, stroke; Charles Gilbert, " George" Raymond, Ellis, and Joshua, bow. Harvard boat—A. P. Loring, stroke; George W. Holdrege, bow; R. C. Watson, W. tl. Simmons, J. W. Miliurney, and W. W. Richards. There were als the Springfield Crew, Boston Professional Ciew, and New London Crew in this race; but the public appeared to realize from the first that their chances of success were hopeless. The judges wore Messrs. Frank Boyce, L. N. Kimgeal, C. A. Chase, E. M. Rockwell, and James. P. Ha:uilton. 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; opeu only to Worcester boats. The entries were— Phantom (shell), E. B. Hamilton; Minnie (lapstreak), J. 0. Leary ; C. 0. Russell (shell), H. E. Duncan. This ts 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 collo 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 - 11 ale 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 inagnificent performance of Hirvard 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 in lim. 525., beating by 18s. The four-oared boat lace, three miles, .for $2OO, was won by the Wards in 20m. 15s. In the race between the Yale and Harvard crows, the Tarvar(ls carried off the palm.

THE NATIONAL ARTILLERY ASSOCIATION. The proceedings of the week at Shoeburyness were brought very near their termination on Friday by the firing for the consolation prizes, and the presentation of 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 to 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 presentatiog 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, was 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 elite 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 pra, sented the prizes. The business was opened by Colonel Harcourt, who, having remarked on the improved prospects of the association, called upon the Earl ot 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 regulitions which had beer laid down for their guidance, and which he could assure them had been framed according to the strictest milli:lr, rule. Of the practice he should not speak decidedly unti: the revised scores had come before him in his oflleia: capacity, but this much he already could say, nal with the Armstrong guns the men had worked exceedingly well, although the wind had affected tilde practice at the long range of 2,000 yards. Their hadsuccess at the running target need not discourage them, as he could assure them that in the Royal Artillery it war considered very good, after three years' practice, tc hit the target twice in ten shots. Sir James Baird fol lowed, and the assemblage was subsequently addressed b 3 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 existed for supporting the Artillery Association. His lordshiy glanced slightly at the unfavourable reaction whicl 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 that 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 platform guests, after which Lady Spencer delivered the prizes to the several winners with much grace and amid genera: cheering.

The daily papers are in error in saying that the appeal is only on lights and costs It goes farther, embracing prostrations and the mixing of water with the sacramental wine anywhere, not merely during the service and at the Lord's table." 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. Valentia is, we believe one of the favoured spots which the Irish Church Mis sionary Society takes under its especial care. From th. statement of our contemporary it would appear that, st far from making converts, the zealous missionaries havi succeeded in alienating the Protestant population.—Cori Examiner.
