The Yacht Fleet,

The vessels of the New York Yacht fleet rendezvoused of the Pequot House, New London, yesterday afternoon. Southern Cross was the first yacht to arrive. Among the yachts that were at anchor in the upper harbor yesterday morning are the following: schooners, Columbia, Foam; Vivern, Fanny, Lizzie, Rover, Wizard sloops, and Social
 This morning the yachts will start to the eastward on their annual cruise. The cruise this season promises to be the most memor- able in the history of the club, both in the number of the yachts that will participate in it and in it's extent and event. At New Bed ford it will be joined by the fleet of the Eastern Yacht club of Boston, and in con- nection with the New Bedford Yacht club will have 8 series of races off that harbor which will throw all previous events of the kind into the shade. There have been of- fered for prizes two cups of the value of $500 each one for schooners and one for sloops, by MT. E. A. Buck; cup of the same value for sloops by Rear Commodore Hermann -OeIrichs three cups of the value of $1 ,OOO each, by ex-Commodore James Gordon Bennett-one for schooners, one for sloops and one for steamers; 8 cup valued at $1 ,O0O, by Mr. J. c. Osborn, the owner of the steam yacht Corsair, and the Bennett Challenge Cup for schooners, just relinquished by the owner of the Tidal Wave. Some of these races will be sailed at Newport, but the principal fest1vi- ties will be at New Bedford. One of Mir Starin's large excursion barges has been en- gagged and will be lowed to New Bedford and ball will be given on board of her, the mu- sic for which will be furnished by band from New York. After leaving New Bedford the combined squadron, comprising the fleets of the three clubs, will go over to Cottage City, Martha's Vineyard and thence to Bos- ton. On the return the races at Newport will be sailed The cruise will occupy about two weeks

 Internal NIachines-An Enthusiast who
 Proposes to Right IreIand's Wrongs-
 Arrested by n United States Mars all
 PEORIA, Aug This noon while Patrick
 A. Crow inventor of the internal ma chimes that were recently shipped to England, and which raised such 8 commotion through out the world, was walking up Main street in this city he was arrested by United States marshal on an order from Wayne MacVeagh, United States Attorney General. The news quickly spread throughout the city and crea- ted the greatest excitement number of leading citizens gathered and rendered bail in the sum of $1O,OO0, but the marshal simply replied to all inquiries that he could take no bail and that he must go with him to Chicago, where he was taken tonight. Grove takes the affair coolly. He has dis posed of his business and has avowed his in tention of raising an army as soon as he is liberated and continue the manufacture of in- fernal machines. He says that he sees in this the only possible way to right Ireland's wrongs. MT Grove is sober and quiet man, but on this subject he is perfect enthusi- ast. One of the internal machines designed to blow up England has been taken to the Journal office in this city from the boiler shop where they were to be fitted up. They were cast in the foundry of O'Rourke Bros, and from there thirteen of them were taken to the boiler shop of J. Moore near by, to have stout cap boiler of iron put over the top. The machine resembles shell in shape. It is ten inches long and six inches thick, around it. There is an inch hole in the cen ter of one end The other end is conical in shape so that when standing on it's end it looks like shell over a hole. In the level end is stout cap of boiler iron fitted care fully. The explosive material is placed in side this she'll the top closed with screws and the boiler iron capped and the whole left to do it's work. Even if discovered it would hardly be deterred from executing its pur- pose, for the set screws are so made that it is with difficulty they can be removed, and it would be almost certain death to tamper with it after it was set, and the jar would release the clockwork and ig- nite the charge. It is computed that one of these machines would destroy whole block of the largest buildings in the world, no mat ter how well built. Each machine carries pound and half of dynamite and an ounce and half of pulmonate of mercury. Grove will undergo preliminary examination at Chicago tomorrow.

Another Railroad Accident-The Engi-
 nesr Under Arrest Pending an Invss-
 tigation.
 CITY OF MEXICO, August 1.-Another acci- dent has occurred on the National railroad which has created much popular indignation and may lead to new legislation. The indig- nation against the engineer has assumed an exaggerated form. A misplaced switch on the Elsath division of the National railroad threw train from the track last night, crushing the fireman in such a way that he died in few hours. The engineer, although reports do not say that he was at fault, was immediately arrested and thrown into prison pending the investigation. He is an Ameri- can, which may to some extent account for the fact that all bail has been refused in the case, although 1000 security was offered for his release. The press condemn the character of the recent railroad construction and management, and demands the passage by the national legislature of more stringent laws governing the railroad traffic of the re- public

Meagre Returns From the Election.
 LOUISVILLE, Aug. 1.-The indications at this hour (midnight) are that the Repubi- cans have made small gains in both branches of the Legislature, but it still remains in the control of the Democrats by a large majority. Louisville sends one Republican to the Legis. lature for the first time since the war. The proposition to call a constitutional conven- tion has received an overwhelming majority of the votes cast, but as it requires a ma jority of the whole vote of the State to call the convention it is doubtless defeated for the third time. In one district, including this city, an election for judge of appellate court was held. The vote was small, but the Democrats elected their candidate. The vote generally was light and but little interest was taken The returns are very meacre
