of the Woolwich Company, and a number of gentlemen's
yachts, including Lord Milton's screw, Night Thought,

The strong wind which had prevailed for many days
was succeeded by a calm and very light and variable
airs. Besides this only two in each class started, so that
it may be judged that the matter was not very interest-
ing. Mr. C. Tatham officiated, in the absence of Lord A.
Paget, for the day, and under his direction the yachts
were started at 11.50, wind about W.N.W. The Buccaneer
was round first, but immediately afterwards a man fell over
board from her rigging, and was immediately saved by
Lord de Bos, the vice-commodore's, cutter. The Octo
m
onwas the second. The Dione was absent. The Sa-
tanella and Vampire started side by side, the Queen being
absent. Just below Tilbury the Vampire and Satanella, ran
by the Octoroon, one on either side, and after that they
kept in front of her. The Buccaneer held her lead until
she got to leeward, and then the Vampire, bringing down
a nice wind with her, went away, from all the others, the
--Buccaneer heading the Octoroon. The wind had veered to
the eastward, and had first fallen upon the Buccaneer, and,
as the others came to it, they broke off, and the Vampire
first went about. They made several tacks between the
Chapman and the Nore with a nice gentle breeze, and
rounded in the following time and order :

It wanted full half an hour to low water, and the pace
over the tide was very slow, added to which they had
hardly proceeded a mile on their return when the wind
again blew out from the westward. The Vampire went
about on the port tack, and stood right in to Southend.
Shortly after this she got the young flood, and the wind
northwarding and freshening everything fitted well, and
the yachts finished at Gravesend much earlier than had
been expected, the time being as under:—

DIE STAMFORD Cup, 1867.—The manufacturer
of this celebrated racing prize has been entrusted this year
to Mr. J. W. Benson, of Old Bond-street, at whose house
it will shortly be on view ; and the design, selected by the
stewards, the Deice of Newcastle and Mr. ff. Chaplin, is
the most interesting scene from Mr. Dion Boucicau►t's
sporting drama of "Flying Scud." The situation repre-
sented is the one on the racecourse at the close of the
second act, where the old jockey, Nat Gosling, who has
not ridden a race for more than a quarter of a century,
suddenly discovers that the rider of his favourite horse
"Flying Scud," has been drugged on the eve of starting,
and resolves to mount the animal himself and win the
race. No more exciting situation has been witnessed on
the stage for years, and the artist has cleverly arranged
his group so as to introduce the horse and the chief cha-

meters. •

The advies from the manufacturing districts
report that during the past week there has not
much activity in most of the principal branches of
industry. At Manchester slightly reduced prices
have been current for cloths and yarns, while in the
woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hudders-
field, the inquiries for autumn and winter goods
have only been to a moderate extent, but at steady
rates. At Leicester and Nottingham the late fine
weather has caused a better demand for most de-
scriptions of hosiery and lace, and operations in the
latter article have been effected by American
buyers. In the hardware districts of Birmingham,
Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been only
a moderate amount of business entered into in most
departments, the expectations formed at the com-
mencement of the quarter of increased activity not
having been realised except to a very limited
extent.

Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures
declined to 31 32, and the Consolidated Mortgage
Bonds to 24k 25.

A further influx of £89,000 in gold took place at
the Bank of England on Saturday.
The amalgamation of the large firms of Messrs.
Baring, Brothers, and Co., and Messrs. Freeling,
Hodgson, and Co., is thus officially announced

IRELAND,

DUBLIN, June 28.
The National Association held a meeting yester-
day for the purpose of expressing its opinion on
some public questions. It resolved to abide by the
principle of self-support " as best and safest for the
Irish Catholic Church under the especial circum-
stances of her position, and to oppose any project of
investing her with a portion of the Ecclesiastical
State property at present in the possession of the
Established Church." With reference to the Reform
question the meeting felt bound to express its dis-
approbation of the continuance of " that system of
exceptional legislation for this country always pur-
sued when detrimental to our interests, but denied
to us when sought for to our advantage."
The North-East Agricultural Association held its
annual show at Belfast yesterday, in Maysfields.
No efforts were spared on the part of the committee
to make it a success, but in point of numbers it was
not so, the entries, exclusive of implements, being
only 525. The quality of the animals exhibited was
excellent. The rinderpest has greatly militated
against these agricultural exhibitions. The principal
Challenge Cups were awarded as follow : The Ulster
Challenge Cup, value 25 sovs, for one best animal
in the short-horned classes ; age of bulls not to ex-
ceed four years—J. W. E Macartney, the Palace,
Clogher, Tyrone, short-horned bull, Fitzjames.
The Ulster Challenge Cup, value 20 sovs., for the
best animal in the Ayrshire, Polled, and Devon
classes; age of bull not to exceed four years—David
Patton, Trynonny, Glasslough, Ayrshire cow, Lilly.
The Ulster Challenge Cup, value 10 sou-., for the
best pure bred ram in the sheep classes—Chas. P.
Leslie, M.P., Castle Leslie, Glasslough, Leicester
ram. The Ulster Challenge Cup, value 10 sovs., for
the best pen of five pure bred ewes of same breed in
sheep classes—Jonathan Richardson, Glenmore,
Lisburn, five Shropshire Down shearling ewes.
In consequence of some alleged irregularities in
the South Dublin Uuion, the Po)r Law Commis-
sioners have ordered the taking of stock in the
workhouse. At the meeting of the Board of Guar-
dians yesterday, Alderman Bound declared that
during his knowledge of the house, which extended
orer 20 years, he never knew a correct return of the
state of the house to be obtained. The matter was
something more than the Guardians themselves
could investigate personally, and ace3rdingly they
took it for granted that the returns made by the
officers were correct. Mr. Macready was of the
same opinion. For many years a proper stock tak-
ing had not been made, and he believed that the re-
turns on the books were an imposition on the public.
Mr. Byrne concurred in this opinion.
The first annual contest of the Irish Rifle Asso-
ciation terminated yesterday. Mr. J. Rigby won
the Abcrcorn cup, value 50 guineas, making a total
of 373 points. The other priz !s were awarded to
Mr. Mahaffy (356), Mr. W. Rigby (316), and Mr.
M‘lienna (346). Compensation Prizes —First Day-
-800 yards—Mr. J. Robinson, 50.
900 yards—Mr.
Lloyd, 45. Second Day-800 yards—Major Leech,
50. 900 yards—Mr. Nugent, 45. Mr. Mahaffy is a
clergyman, and a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.
At the conclusion of the competition of the members
of the association, the detachments of military, con-
stabulary, and police were assembled in front of the
council tent. Major Leech, who was received with
loud cheers, said he wished to make a few observa-
tions to them on the last day of the competition
which had been so full of the deepest interest to him,
and which in its influence would, he had not the
slightest doubt, prove of national importance. I t was
very gratifying to find that their proceedings had
been regarded as a great success, and although they
might have attracted a larger audience on the part
of the general public, it was satisfactory to reflect
that not the slightest misunderstanding or accident
had occurred to mar their enjoyment, while the
shooting was of such a character as to inspire the
hope that the Irish team would prove victorious
at the forthcoming international contest. He felt
proud at the success which had attended the first
meeting in connection with their association. Ile
wished to remark, before closing, that they did not
obtain the serrices of the constabulary because he
feared any disturbance or annoyance, but in order
to keep young persons off the ground who might
subject themselves to danger. So far as the com-
petition went the success was mainly attributable
to the zealous exertions of Captain Fairtlough,
Captain Galbraith, Captain Featherstone, and
Lieutenant Thunder. Three cheers having been
given for Major Leech, tho company adjourned to
a tent, where several toasts were proposed and re-
sponded to. In proposing " his Excellency and
Prosperity to Ireland," Major Leech referred to
the princely munificence of the Marquis of Aber-
corn in presenting the splendid cup for competition.
