steamship Tennessee, which sailed from that city for
New Orleans on the 30th ult., had arms and
munitions of war on board for the new Nicaraguan
expedition states that the attempts to create this ex
pedtion have been confined to Southern cities, and
that they neither expect nor want men from New
York. believing that such private soldiers as could be
obtained there are not worth their rations. The
Times says: , ~
The money, arms, ammunition and provisions from
this city they have very favorable opinion Of and
expect liberal continuation of such donations. du
ring the enterprise, but that is all they want.
1t is extremely doubtful whether any of the bld
and tried officers from New York will be invited TO
join the expedition, with the execution of Cen
Henningsen 1t is claimed that the new expedition
will be offeered by West Point men, who have re-
ceyed what is called large Inducements to give their
aid to its success. - t---
1t is also pretty well settled that Gen. Walker will
not go back as military chief of the expedition.
He Will probably go out and proclaim himself Presi-
dent OF Nicaragua. Alter doing so, it is expected
that he will occupy himself in civil matters leaving
the military defence of his pretensions entirely to
others.
That other expedition that is said to be fitting out
In Texas for descent upon portion of Mexico, is
now generally believed to be but part Of the new
expedition to Nicaragua, which, it is claimed, will be
the most imposing, best equipped aud provisioned of
all the flhusterng expeditions that heretofore have

that the Coquette must wn and not bet was offered
on the Mischief that we heard of, yet from there
being splendid breeze and the Mischief being sup
posed to be able to carry better than the Coquete
every one expected an exciting race. Unfortunately
all were disappointed as the Mischief capsized al
most in starting.
The last gun for the start was fired at III. 25m.
and both boats made beautiful start exactly to-
gether; both were covered with all the sail they
could carry, the out to the first stakeboat
was with fair wind. In less than three minutes
the Mischief capsized and the Coquette apparently
came very near doing so. ~---.
The race was round the course, the stakeboats
were placed five miles apart, making the usual tri
angular race of the Club fifteen miles. The Co.
