FLAG SHIP, BIRKZNHEAD. Official time, Cynthia, A. Roe, jun. Esq .... 6. 9.10." 6. 9.21. Coralie, A. B. Bryne, Esq. . 6.12.29 6 12.0. Blue Belle, R. M. Grinnell, Esq. 6.59. 0 -; Stanley, J. Wilson—not timed.  In the beat out, just at the entrance of the river, Blue Belle made a judicious tack close to the end of the New ) North Dock wall, and caught a fine due easterly breeze, which put her for a short time a-head of the fleet. Cornlie, getting a good share of the same favour, in close attendance—both weathering the Cynthia that had previously had the lead. Electric, with her new mainsail, did wonders,—ber style of going to windward delighted every person. Stanley : alterations had not improved her ; she is quite unlike the clever craft she proved herself to be last year. Challenge was also out of time to windward ; her mainsail having stretched, it could not be well set up, but her running powers were well displayed in her run from the Bell Buoy to N.W. Lightship, first time. The feature a the race was the strong easterly breeze,. which came on in a squall as the vessels were proceeding from the North West light-ship for the first time to the Bell Buoy, obliging Cynthia, Coralie, and Stanley to take in topsail, and Electric and Challenge to double reef mainsail and shift jibs; not so the " Blue Belle," she carried her topsail all through it, and the only difference she shewed was that of going about three times faster than she previously had done. The way she worked up to the third place shewed what she was made for when there is a breeze. This good breeze continued, and it saved the club their beautiful cup for another year at least; for with the flood tide, a good wholesome roll of a sea got up, in beating up against which, Coralie's long and beautiful bow came into play with great effect, and by a well judged tack just weathered the Bell Buoy for the last time, onl' two minutes after the Cynthia, who had overreaches herself considerably ; in the run home, Cynthia's larg, topsail fouled the yard, and being very wet, was : long time in setting. Coralie got hers smartly up, an( bringing a steady breeze up lost little to the Cynthia on this, the latter's best point of sailing, running free The Cynthia being fifty-one tons, and the Coralie thirty five, the former yacht having to allow the latter sever, minutes and three-quarters for difference of tonnage by the laws of the club, the Coralie became the winner having 4 minutes and 26 seconds to spare. The owner of the Coralie, Mr. A. E. Byrne, came on board the steamer to receive the reward of his well-earned labour; and he has certainly much to be proud of in his very fine craft having won this very noble prize this year, in ad dition to that of her Majesty's Plate won by him last year against the Cynthia, which yacht, however, it is but justice to record, is a very fine vessel, and in a light wind we believe her to be a difficult vessel to beat. We hope Mr. Roe, her spirited owner, will again try his fortune for this prize next year, as we are sure the Mersey yachtmen will be very glad to see him. The prize and purse were pre seated to _Mr. Byrne by the vice-commodore, who compli  mented him on his success ; and a liberal supply of chain pagne was supplied by Mr. Byrne to the ladies and gen. tlelnen.
