AQUA 7 ICS.

THE AMERICAN CHALLENGE YACHT RACE.
RYDE, Tuesday Evening.

The great challenge race between the American yacht
Sappho and English' yachts took place to-day. There was
a fine breeze. The American yacht carried away her jib-
boom when off Ventnor. She had no chance from the
beginning. The Alino held a leading position for a long
time. The Omaira then gradually overhauled and led.
Round the Needles she was some distance ahead. In
sailing up the Solent the Cambria passed the other yachts
and came in first, the time being:—

H. M. s.
Cambria ... 6 17 50
Aline ... ... 6 19 55
Omaira 6 23 10
Condor ... •6 24 30
The American yacht Sappho was left several miles
astern.

IRELAND.

D lIBLIN, Tuesday.

Saturday was the last day for serving notices of
claims for the franchise under the new Act. In
this city the entire number of claims sent in, both
of the claimants under £4 and of those claiming as
lodgers, is for the Liberals 4,337. The Conserva-
tive claims amount in all to 1,600, giving the
Liberals a majority of 2,787. Thus, if the Libe-
rals only sustain half of their claims, and the
Conservatives succeed in registering all of theirs,
the former will still have a majority of 600 on
the whole of the new votes. Of course it is
far more likely that the voters registered on
both sides will be proportioned to the claims.
At the election for the city in 1859, when the
highest number of votes polled was 4,251, Sir Ed-
ward Grogan had a majority of only 275 votes over
Mr. Brady, and Mr. Vance a majority of 343 over
Mr. M'Carthy, notwithstanding that 1,800 freemen
voted for the Tory candidates. From this it will
be seen that the new franchise will place the return
of two Liberals for the Irish metropolis beyond
doubt.

A meeting of the proprietors of the National
Bank was held yesterday in the city of Cork, for
the purpose of taking into consideration the reve-
lations made at the recent trial of " APlienna v.
Usborne," in connection with the " floating " of
certain unprofitable schemes through the agency of
the bank. About fifty proprietors were present,
and the proceedings lasted two hours. A resolution
was passed pledging the proprietors not to disclose
the business of the meeting. All that is known is
that a committee was formed to organise the share-
holders in Ireland with a view to the adoption
of measures to procure a reform in the board of
directors.

The following are the circumstances connected
with the murder at Chapelizod, the fact of which
was telegraphed yesterday. It appears that a
Mr. James Metcalf was placed in charge of the
" King's House," Chapelizod, by the Lord Chan-
cellor, to take care of it for a Miss Lawler, a lady
of imbecile mind, who is possessed of considerable
property. A Mr. Peter Joseph Dawson, a near re-
lative of Miss Lawler's, would seem to have taken
umbrage at this appointment, and to have
considered that he was better entitled to the charge.
Ile visited the house on several occasions, and gave
expression to threats against Mr. Metcalf, whom
he ordered to leave the place. On Sunday after-
noon, between the hours of four and five o'clock,
he was seen approaching the house with something
like a bludgeon in his hand. Mr. Metcalf imme-
diately locked the doors and barred the windows to
prevent his gaining admission. By some means he
effected an entrance, and proceeded to the room in
which Mr. Metcalf and his wife were. On approach-
ing Mr. Metcalf he said, " What, are you here
still ?" " Yes," replied Mr. Metcalf ; whereupon
Dawson raised the weapon which he carried, and
struck him a violent blown on the head, felling him
to the floor. He then left the house ; and Mrs.
Metcalf, finding her husband still insensible,
sent for medical assistance, and called for the police.
Police-constable Ford, 129 D, immediately got upon
au outside car and drove towards Dublin. After a
short time he came up with Dawson, and with great
presence of mind he waited until he was close
abreast of him before he made any attempt to arrest
him. When he came close upon Dawson he leaped
off the car, seized him with one hand and wrested
the bludgeon from him with the other, and took
him prisoner. The bludgeon turned out to be
the lancewood butt of a fif3hing-rod of very con-
siderable weight, and about 2 feet 10 inches in
length. Ford brought his prisoner to Bride-
well-lane Police Station, and in the course
of an hour Mr. Metcalf caine into town for the pur-
pose of preferring the charge against him. At the
station he fainted, and had to be conveyed to Rich-
mond Hospital, where he died during the night.
Dr. White, one of the city coroners, held an inquest
on the body yesterday afternoon, when a verdict of
wilful murder was returned against Dawson, who
was consequently committed upon the coroner's
warrant to take his trial at the next commission.
The funeral of the late Alderman Reynolds took
place yesterday at Glasnevin, and was largely
attended by the members of the corporation and the
citizeio generally.
