SIR: The account published by you on the 18th Of
August of The assau lately commit ID at L'chted by
Dr. James Richards, on the person of Francis Bacon,
MD, of New-Haveu is incorrect in several points
in some of them ipjuriously 60.
I. The affair was not an ecclesiastical quarrel" in
any sense
3. There has been no personal difficulty between
the Rev. DR.. Richards aod the Rev. L. W. Bacon"
3 The Jap esion conveyed by the assertion that
ntheRy L. W Bacon, conceiving it improper for
deposed minister to enter the pulpit, about correct
ing the evil" lie not correct. .
4. The matter was neDer taken out OF the redcn VI
the Association by any process. M
Z The impression which toe " correspondent OF The
Wiasted Hrald seeks 10 convey, thai the assault on
DIR Bacon was slight AID harmless, Is fas9.

CRUISE OF THE NEV-YORK YACHT
CLUB
THE REGATTA AT NEW-BEDEORD

THE REGATTA AT NEW-BEOFORD.
The Regatta of the New-York Yacht Club came off in
our waters yesterday as previously announced. The
day was propiious, and the yachts started aereeaby
with the previous arrangements and as indicated in the
subiOined table. Eleven yachts were entered for the
race, while others sailed independently. At the start
there was a moderate breeze from the north, which
gradually subsidized almost to perfect calm soon aer1
o'clock, when the feet rounded the stake boat at
Quick Hole. During the run from thence to the
outer station the wind was light I'D variable and
while some Of the yachts were almost becalmed others
enjoyed a considerable breeze; the direction of the
bret varying in different localities. From the stake
boat at Quicks Hole several of the yachts shaped their
course on bee-ne while others struck off in slightly
circuous course in order to take advantage Of the
breeze by which they favored. Daring the race
and more especially after rounding the outer stake boats
sdndry inter- sting episodes occurred in the rvares of
the yachts which CHANGED to find themselves in prox-
unity, one with another.
The trial between the Julia and Madgie the Mallory
and ManDerting was of truly exciting character, and
elected universal interest. The wind beog ahead the
yachts en- the return had TO beat up and point
the Julia passed by the Madge; bat the former by
dint of Der excellent sailing qualities and dexerous
sesmaDsbip, wsahered her momently successful but
perhaps no less deserving rival, and maintained her
lead through the route. The Mallory aud the Manner
sing nearly visGViS during the whole course from
the outer sakeboa 10 tbs home sakebOst the differ
ence in time being little less than one minute.
The day, although have said, generally pro-
pitious in respects unfavOrabls to fair test
of the sailing qualities of the respective yachts owing
to the light and battling breezes which were not equal
ly enjoyed by the feet OF the yachts finding them
selves at times within the influence of air differing in
force and direction from those at a comparatively small
distauce The air was clear, aff,rding excellent
view of the movements of the squadron TO the numer
GUS spectators who ntently watched their progress.
The yacht Richmond of this port, although not among
the 81 tries, made her way around the course folly
sustaining Der acknowledged reputation the fastest
boat of her size that has yet been modelled.
The following is the report Of the Judges Apo nted
by the Committee of the Club the Regatta made up

CITY ITEMS.

TIE NEW FoURTH-ayEsUE SQvAREs.-A portion OF
the space over the Harlem Railroad Tunnel, which ex
tends from Tbirtyfourth to Fortieh Streets has with
in the last year undergone complete transformation,
and what was formerly one of the most unslghtly
localities in the city, ungaded and entirely uncared Tor
"a grazing ground for goats and geese-has become
of the most attractive four handsome little squares
having been laid out and ncosed with neat iron rail-
ings. Each equare is 40 feet vile by about 200 in
length, with gate at either end and lighted by lamps
at every corner All the Enclosures have been neatly
sodded and at the proper trees will be planted
and flowers and shrubbery take their alIo ted places.
This improvement must add largely to the value of the
property contiguous but strange to say the extra
pepee of sIs 539 IS was born by the Corporation
ssse ssments having been made. But the job not
carried through, and the end obtained of drawing
money from the pull Lie treasury to pay for an improve
ment int ring 80 largely to individual interests without
adroit management; indeed it seems TO nave oeeh
matter having not little TO do with the election OF az
least one city official. The work, however, wa long
time getting under way for as long ago as 1911 res
oution referring to this matter was approved ~ tne
Mayor, while resolution under which the parks have
been constructed was not passed till 1853 the contract
bearing dste June 16 1859, and the work not beng
compile ed till March, 1860.
An effort is being made and petition has been pre-
sentad for two additional parks to cover the rest oil tne
tunnel between Tbirtyeghth and Fortieth streets AT
the same rate of expenditure those already COM
peted these Improvements will altogether cost the city
s7 500 o. 1t is desired by property owners and oy
the city, that the Harlem Railroad Company should
remove the crown of the arch at the lower end OF the
tunnel, apd by resolution of the Common Council
passed more than year ago. they were directed to re-
duce the grade the Fourth avenue at the nsrsec-
ton with Thirtyourth street, the same to CONFORM
to The grade of Thityfourh street, the same TO Dc
above the grade of said Thirty-fourth street and
Fourth avenue, under such directions as shall be given
BY the Street Commissioner" and if not complied
with to be assessed for the expense of having the
work done by the city. The Railroad Company has
as yet done nothing in the premises, but speedy action
is contemplated to compel the performance OF the
work.
