Constitution's New SniIs.

Bristol, R. l., Aug. 13.--The new suit of sails being made for the Constitu- ton will be completed this week, and it appears to be the intention to have the main sail bent on the Constitution before she leaves for the races in Long Island sound. If the new main sail is ready for bending Thursday it is the intention to bring the Constitution here from Newport and as soon as the change is made to tow her to Larch- mont. The new main sail will be trihe longer on the reach than the old one, so that the main boom will not top up so high when the sail is set, and the peak of the sail will be as lofty as at present. This means trif1e more area of canvas for the Constitution in the coming races than she had in those of the past month.
