YACHTING AFFAIRS.

The match race between the Sappho and Cambria,
announced for yesterday. did not come or owing to
the absence of wind and the heavy fog that prevailed
the entire morning. The Cambria Is ut present
lying inside the Horseshoe ana the sappno Is an-
chored or the Club House, Staten Island. The race
has been set down for to-day. and both yachts VIII
probably proceed at an early hour this morning to
the llghtship whence they are to sail twenty miles
to windward and back.
In the contest on Tuesday between the Cambria
and Dauntess neither vessel turned the stakeboat,
as already mentioned. 1t appears that In the
first place the steamer made the twenty miles from
the lightship too rapidly for the c0ntesting vessels
which were beating to windward, and that when
she came to anchor she was entirely out OF sight.
Darkness having set IN she hoisted two lamps, but
failing TO see them the yachts showed blue lights 10
indicate their positions. The Dauntess was then
seven 0'c0ck) good distance ahead, the Cambria
standing or on the lee quarter. The blue lights were
seen from on board the steamer, but 1t was not
thought they belonged to the yachts. In any case
the steamer had no means OF attracting attention
beyond her two lamps and repeated whistles Unable
to discover her Whereabouts, after long ana vgor-
GUS search, the contestants eased sheets and re.
turned homeward before the wind The race, how
ever will probably be renewed tomorrow under
more auSpcious circumstances.

Prince Napoleon in England.

A brief despatch published this morning
ewatic, yet very able, cousin of the ex-Em-
peror of the French, is now in London Gin
triguing' for the restoration of the empire.
Should this information prove to be strictly
correct the Prince displays magnanimity as
well as an activity, worthy of better cause.
Had the excellent advice he gave in his
famous and powerful speech delivered in the
French Chambers last winter been strictly
followed the imperial system would scarcely
have been in such a plight as we behold to-
day. But since the commencement of his
cousins reign the chief supporters of the now
fallen empire have seemed to make point of
belittling and discrediting that member of the
Napoleonic family who bears the greatest re-
sembance, in form and feature, to the FIRST
founder of the house. He has been nick
named "Plon-Plon" and held up to ridicule
in variety Of ingenious bat very petty ways
Recently, too, the Empress, while still Regent
Of France, deprived him of his appointments,
and it is said that Napoleon ILL., refused to
he has to expect from a restoration of these
unkind relatives is rather difficult to coniec-
ture. His own personal opinions are we'll
known to be republican, and his record points
to destiny not at all imperial His lot
is with the people, and by the triumph
Of The people he is most likely to have justice
done TO his undoubted talents Generosity is
a noble trait, but generosity which COM
promises the future OF nation, as well as of
the man himself, is too romantic for this prac-
! teal age.
| Prince Napoleon has been accused of being
| too fluent with the tongue. We have often
thought the charge to be oyerstraiued, but il
| he be employed in England now as represented
we shall fear that another member of the
family has indeed been smitten with the blind
ness that seems to doom them ALL
The New York herald., 1870-10-13

SIGNALLING THE APPROACH OF STORMS. -
Our government, following the example OF
the English and some other European gov
ernments, and directed thereto by an act OF
Congress passed at the last session, has made
arrangements to have meteorological observa-
tions taken at various military stations through
out the country, and to have telegraphic
notice given on the seacoast and on the
Northern lakes Of the approach and force
OF storms. This plan we have advo-
Gated in our columns for long time.
The practical importance of such an under
taking has been sufficiently proved in Europe
to warrant us in expecting from it great ad-
vantages, particularly in regard to our ship
ping. Vessels in port can be, by timely
warning of an approaching storm, put in con-
dition Of safety, and vessels about to leave port
can be detained in case of expected danger.
In various other ways it will prove practically
beneficial, to say nothing Of its results In a
scientific point Of view. A pamphlet pub
lished by the chief signal officer of the War De-
partment, and from which we publish to-day
some extracts, will enable our readers to un-
derstand clearly the objects contemplated and
the means by which they are to be attained.
