YACHTING IN ENGIAND-TnE OCEAN REGATTA
A FAu.URE.-We publish elsewhere the entries
for the Royal Thames Yach. Club Regatta, which
was to come Off on the 25th ult, and was ex-
pected to be the finest regatta ever witnessed in
Thames yachting. A noteworthy peculiarly Of
the conditions of the race is the proviso that the
yachts are to be manned exclusively by members
OF Royal Yacht Club, or officers Of the army
OF navy. This rs striking contrast to the kid
glove sailing of some Of our yachtsmen.
While our English cousins are thus improving
10 this useful and noble pastme, it is much to BE-
regretted that the esprit du corps of our yachts
men is on the decline. There have been entered
tut four schooners for the Cape May ocean race,
while no slcop has yet come forward to match
The Rebecca. There is thus every indication that
this, the finest regatta ever proposed, will turn
out q failure.

MORALITY AND DIGNITY IN GERMAN ROYAL
FAMILEs-A letter from Munich, in the Cologne
Gazette, says -
Prince Charles Of Bavaria has just made morganstic
marriage with Nine. Holkuen, widow Of an author, and
she has been created Baroness de Ffankcnberg; aud
Prince Louis eldest Of Duke MAMMALIAN Of Bavaria,
ted Baroness de- wadsee The Prince, brother Of
the Empress Of AUSTRIA has renourced his brthrght
favor OF his brother, Prince Charles Theodore.
This reminds us of the emour5 Of the King of
Bavaria and Lola Montez, who obtained from
him the title Of Countess Of Landafeldt, and was
the instrument of his overthrow. The Austrian
and German princes are famous for NOR.
garatic marriages and for their Heentioueness
and immortality. Indeed, all the royal families
of Earope have been remarkable for their profit
gacy The Courts Of France, Spain and EGG
land have been notorious for vice. In England
the Courts Of Henry Will and Charles H.
have been the most notable instances,
the Ccurt of Charles having afforded materials for
one of the most amusing and curious books ever
published. In modern times George w. is the
greatest example Of royal pronigacy in England.
This monarcb's memory is pilloried for ever In
the immortal lampoon of Lord Byron. The
English Court never was 80 free from immortality
as at the present time, which is owing TO the
virtuous example of the reigning Queen Some
of the English Queens of former days had q
very different reputation. The most surprising
part Of the business IL that such open and shame

clude the. parties from decent society. If

1HE ADMINISTRATION BALANCE OF POWER AT
has frequently been conjectured
tnat, as In 1914 and 1852, all the outstanding
de nocrat!c Presidential candidates will, in their
l';nal Convention Vt 1860, devour each other,
I'D that some harmless, neutral, negative, COM
uromise candidate, like Polk or Pierce, will be
the man. 1t is thus supposed that Wise and
Hunter, Of Virginia. will kill off each other; that
Breckenridge and Guthrie, of Kentucky, will
kin off each other; and that Cobb and Stephens
Of Georgia, and Dickinson and Seymour, of New
York, will fall in the same way. AS for Douglas,
II ia supposed tina. Slidell will take particular
care Of him, while Slidell will just as surely
have his nose put out Of joint by Douglas. There
is good ground, also for these estimates; but we
dare say that the main issue at Charleston viii
be between Douglas and Wise-popular sove-
reignty and congressional Intervention; and tha'
upon this issue the Convention ana the party
win be broken to pieces unless the administra
ton shall come to the rescue. Possessed of 3
saving balance of power, we may safely say, II
reference to the succession, that in spite of all th
efforts Of the INSCRIPTIONS and over ambition
leaders of the democracy, North and South, t.
ignore the. administration Of Mr. Buchanan, b.
holds the political issue Of life or death to then
all in the palm Of his hand. He can save tn

they know where to find him. Some of then
are coming In, and the rest will be compelled t.
follow or to be left exposed to the elements.

compromise. To add to the Irritation caused
by their suHerings by neglect, and to give them
time to make themselves acquainted with the
extent Of their legal rights, would be blunder
of too obvious character for keen men of bust
ness to commit. "Why don't you send some one
on to settle?" was the pressing inquiry which
concluded one Of the dispatches forwarded to
headquarters after the accident on the Erie Rail-
road last year. There was world of Significance
in the question, and the company did not fail to
appreciate its Importance. We have little doubt
that by this time the managing lawyer of the
Michigan Southern is busy on the scene of the
disaster applying the balm Of consolation to the
wounds Of the afflicted He too, may, have his
ground Of complaint against some uupatriotic
victim who may think the loss of aleg CT arm
imperiectly compensated for by the terms offered
by the company.
We repeat what we have go often before
stated, that until those who receive injuries by
the carelessness or neglect of railway companies
take into account the duty they owe to the pub
lie as we'll as to themselves there will be no
means of putting stop to this wholesale system
of slaughter. No compromise should be as
sented to which is not sufficiently heavy to
operate as an adequate penalty against the COM
pany. as well as full Naturalization TO the in-
iured party. Juries are especially bound to
keep these two objects in view, for they arc the
guardians at once ofpublic and private interests.
No private injury can be sustained in such case
without the public being also seriously damaged.

D. Melton, his brother-in-law, residing near Mays
vile Chesterfield, to settle some business, during
which the parties got to drinking and while
drinking an alteration ensued. A gentleman
who present separated the parties, and settled,
he thought, the difficulty. Melton went into
his dwelling, and c., to the kitchen, where he
took seat and entered into conversation with Ms
family. An intimation was brought to c., that
NJ. was loading his gun to shoot him. G. went to
the door, and seeing NJ. with gun in his hand,
asked him if he going to shoot him. If so, shoot
away-at the same time barring his breast. NJ.
instantly raised his gun and fred lodging some
six buckshot in C.'s body around the naval. c.
fingered until the next day, when he died about
eight o'clock in the evening. NJ. was arrested
and lodged in Chesterfield Jail to await his trial

ministry in the Protestant Episcopal Church to
submit myself to the Church of Rome. The inter-
VAL as you know, has not been idly spent; each
day has had its responsibility and duty, and with
these have come experience, observation, and the
knowledge of many things not so we'll understood
before. The result is, that / feel have commit
ted a grave error, which, publicly made, should be
publicly repaired. When came to you, it was as
I stated, with deep and conscientious conviction
that it was necessary to be in communion with the
See of Rome. but this conviction l have not been
able to sustain, in face Of the fact that by it the
natural rights of man and all individual liberty
must be sacri6ced-not only SO, but the private
conscience often violated and one forced, by 81
lence at least, to acquiesce in what is opposed to
moral truth and justice Under these circumstan-
ces, when call to mind how slender is the founda-
ton in the earliest ages of the Church upon which
has been reared the present Papal power, can no
longer regard it as legitimately imposing oblga-
tions upon me or any one else. do now therefore
by this act, disown and withdraw myself from its
alleged jurisdiction. l remain, Most Reverend Sir,
your obedient servant,
