TINE COTTON CROP or ALABAMA.

The following despatch from the British Consul at
Mobile has just been received by the Manchester
Cotton supply Association
BRITISH CONSULATE MOBILE, May 90 1868.
MY LORD have the honor to submit to your
10 rdship the following intelligence in regard to the
past cotton crop OF Alabama and the present pros
pect for the next crop.
ON the lst Of september last-that date being con-
sidered here as the beginning Of the cotton season.

Since the 1st OF September 1867 to the present date
the receipts at this port from the interior amounted
to 35l 492 bales. which s about as much was ex-
pected, considering the bad season and the uncer-
tainty Of labor everywhere In the South at the very
moment when II In the most needed.
Some months ago, owing to the very low price OF
cotton, the planters OF Alabama were entirely dis
and taxed OF giving up cotton raising as
altogether unproftable but the great rise In the
value Of cotton during the months OF March and
April has produced general reaction, and the be-
lief exists that with fair season at least four
hundred thousand bales will be produced In Alabama
alone. The overnowing OF many plantations and
other lands occasioned by the neverending rains
of the last thirty days has done no material damage
for the cotton Is up, a. well as the Indian corn, and
the negroes are working and conducting themselves
better than usual. This Is owing probably, TO the

A FINE DAY AND A LIGHT WIND,

The eleventh annual regatta OF the Brooklyn Yacht
Club, which came of yesterday, inaugurated new
and admirable feature in the yacting pastime. For
the first time in this country the race was thrown
open for entries from all clubs, and the consequence
was a contest between very large number of ves
sells and a spirited struggle between the different
The question of a regatta Of this kind has long been
mooed, and the Brooklyn club was the first to give
il q trial. The result was success, which will
doubtless lead 10 frequent repetition Of the expert
ment. Indeed, one of the clubs which participated
yesterday-the Bayonne Yacht Club-has given no.
toe that at Its next regatta, in September, an invita-
ton VIII be extended to all other rival organizations
to compete for the prizes.
RENDEZVOUS
yesterday was Of the boathouse of the Brooklyn
Club in Gowanus bay, where at an early hour
nearly forty vessels made their appearance and
nrted and coquetted and circled about until near
the hour Of the start, when they had marshalled
into three lines extending across the bay from the
Long Island shore to the wharf structures at Red
Hook. SO numerous a gathering Of pretty models
has been seldom witnessed, and the contemplatve
spectator particularly if possessed Of penchant for
maritime sports would have found ample food for
reflection over the progressive spirit which has
entered into the yachting fraternity

The occasion was more particularly the annual
regatta OF the Brooklyn Yacht Club but in further
ance Of the movement, just referred to- for trial OF
speed between all clubs desirous OF competing in
'union" regatta entries were invited without dis
tincton, and hence at the time Of starting yester-

THE HOMEsTRETCH.
The Addle V. led the hOmestretch and kept her
place all the way back but failed to win owing to
the allowance of measurement. The Matte turned
the spit in rapid pursuit and the greater portion of
the fleet wheeled soon after Standing up the bay
many OF the yachts winged their jibs, and the dis
play of canvas was even finer than in the earlier
stages OF the To the spectator at the buoy 1t
seemed like a vast flock OF white birds winging their
flight towards the city. Unfortunately the wind,
which was not OF the best at any time, began to die
away from this moment, and the latter portion OF
the contest, particularly above the NarrOws, lost
great deal OF its animation.
