LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORE S, TERRACE ROAD, IS NOW OPEN, BY THE PROPRIETOR OF THE WELL-KNOWN ADJOINING ESTABLISHMENT, THE RAILWAY TEA WAREHOUSE, NORTH PARADE, ABERYSTWYTH. Now surely Aberystwyth must admit That JAMES has made a most decided hit. THE OPENING OF THE LONDON WINE AND SPIRIT STORES, in connection with the Railway I ea arehouse, North Parade, is an event that ■will long be remembered by the inhabitants of Aberystwyth. Every new channel of commerce opened in direct communication with the metropolis is an advantage to Aberystwyth, and the more London capital imported into the borough the better, and when that capital is employed in providing articles of the highest excellence and purity so much the better for the domestic comfort and happiness of every household. The Wines and Spirits of this establishment will be drawn from the wood in all their individual purity, without the least approximation to anything m the shape of adulteration, so much practised at the present day. The same may be said of the splendid Ales and Porter, all tapped and drawn from the wood in the highest possible condition and when we add that the whole of this carefully selected and well bought Stock will be Sold to the inhabitants of Aberystwyth at the very smallest return upon the outlay of capital, we think we have stated enough to induce them to patronize this new emporium of active and beneficial commerce.

The Record gives, "with all reserve," a rumour that the extreme Ritualists arc about to secede and establish a separate church. Mr Mackonocliie has replied to Dr. Tait s letter, thank- ing the Archbishop for his consistency, but begging to be excused from entering into any discussion of the question." Tn many of the Southdown flocks in Surrey and Sussex, the ewes have commenced lambing down much before the u usual period, the end of January. The lambs come strong, and the sheep flocks are in a perfectly healthy condition.

With a very scanty show of samples on the Kentish and Essex stands, part of which was in poor coudition, there was a ready sale, at ONE to TWO SHILLINGS ADVANCE on all useful qualities. The foreign trade was generally improved to the extent of Is. per qr., the greatest demand being still for low Russian and spring American sorts. Country Flour 17,314 sacks, foreign 143 sucks. The ten- dency of prices was upwards, and in some instances rather more money was paid for Norfolks, but the weather was against the trade. The foreign demand somewhat improved. Town rates were looking up. Maize 1(1,699 qrs. There was a steady demand for this grain at former rates. British Barley 4,956 qrs., foreign 8,338 qrs. The general scantiness of English malting sorts on every market has rrised prices Is. to 2s. per qr., and foreign malt- ing was held at rather more money, but not grinding qualities. In Malt there was a quiet trade at fully Is. per qr. advance. English Oats 205 qrs., Irish 1,805 qrs., foreign 28,886 qrs. The trade was firm, and needy buyers had to pay rather above late rates; but there was scarcely a general advance. Native Beans 403 qrs., foreign 1,281 qrs. This grain remained dull for new sorts and quiet for foreign old. English Peas 231 qrs., foreign none. There was but little passing, at much the same prices. Linseed 16,781 qrs., exports nil. Business was limited and dull.

PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—This corn market was pretty well supplied with wheat, and, with a fair demand, samples were taken off at an improvement of Is. to 2s. per qr. Barley and oats in short supply, and very little altered in value. Beans difficult to dispose of at high rates. SHREWSBURY, SATURDAY.—Business in this market to-day was quite brisk after the holidays, and, with a large quantity of wheat on offer, prices considerably advanced. For white wheat from 8s. to 8s. 9d. per 751b was given; and for red from 7s. 10d. to 8s. 3d. per same weight. Even at these enhanced rates many holders refused to sell. Oats were in fair average demand, and realised from 22s. 6d. to 23s. per sack of Use. 101b. Peas were a good sale at from 21s. to 22s. per sack of Use. 101b.

LONDON PROVISION, MONDAY.—The arrivals last week from Ireland were 414 firkins Butter and 2,536 bales Bacon, and from foreign ports 14,886 casks, &c, Butter, and 1,269 b.iles Bacin. The change of weather last week caused a little inquiry about Irish Butter, still the transactions are very limited, holders being very firm. Foreign met a good sale at full prices. The Bacon market was very firm, and at the close of the week an advance of 2s, per cwt. obtained. Sales of best Waterford made at 72s. on board. LONDON HOP. MONDAY.—Our market shows a steady demand for all kinds of English and foreign at late rates, which are firmly maintained. The continental markets are dull, quotations re- maining unaltered. New York advices to the 24th ult. report a slow market, but the result of the continued exports is expected to influence nrices before loner. -1 Mid and East Kent £ 2 10 £ 5 0 £ 8 8 Weald of Kents 2 0. 3 5 4 15 Sussex 2 0 3 0 4 4 Farnham 4 0 5 0. 6 0 Country 4 0. 4 10 5 5 Bavarians 2 16 3 10 4 10 Belgians 2 2 2 10 8 0 Yearlings 3 0 3 10 4 4 LONDON SEED, MONDAY.—English Cloverseed comes out very slowly, and fine qualities were held very high. German fine was rather dearer, and choice Belgian was held for more money. French does not tempt buyers from its low quality. White Cloverseed was very dear. In Mustard-seeds no variation and little passing. East India Rapeseed could be bought on lower terms, but with a slow trade; in English there was no variation. Spring Tares were more inquired for at former values. LONDON WOOL, MONDAY.—There has been a good demand on trade account, and prices have showed an upward tendency. The demand for woollen goods in the manufacturing districts has ruled active, as usual at this time of the year, and a steady inquiry for the raw material is now anticipated.

Prices have shown 110 change. The import into London last week consisted of 131 packages, 315 sacks, 174 bags Antwerp, 100 sacKs 40 bags Boulogne, 1,280 sacks Dunkirk, and 1,192 bags Itoucii. English Regents 60s. to 130s. per ton.

The anticii>ation seems to be somewhat justified by the I'ather freer inquiry there has been for wool at the latter end of the week, though there is hard ly an appreciable improvement in the demand. Good lustre wools are still most in favour, while other sorts are quite neg- lected. Prices are extremely firm, and as holders in the country adhere with unabated firmness to their rates, there is every pro- bability of a speedy advance in prices in this market. Worsted yarns are still in slow request, though some report rather more inquiry at the latter end of the week. A slight improvement has been experienced in the demand for super 30's of the leading sorts, though it has been to a great extent checked by the higher quotations of spinners. There is no improvement in two-fold yarns. The stocks in the hands of dea'ers abroad form an ob- stacle to immediate business in this department. Spinners, however, are well engaged in two-fold yarns for some time to come. There is also rather more inquiry in lustre yarns. There is little doing on home account. There is no change for the better in pieces. The business during the week has been un- usually restricted. Export merchants have done little. Ame- rican merchants are almost out of the market. Home merchants are doing no new business, but are preparing for the spring trade. The advance in cotton warps tends to give greater stiffness to prices.

REVIEW OF THE BRITISH CORN TRADE, DURING THE PAST WEEK. (From the Mark Lane Express.) The year 1868 has cut a memorable nick on the records of time. At home we have had a wide-based Reform Bill passed by a Conservative Ministry. In Spain we have seen the Bourbons fall away as though of ephemeral exis- tence, and an insurgent general become commander-in- chief. In Abyssinia the stronghold Magdala has been taken, the captives liberated, the tyrant Theodore falling by his own hand. And although in the East matters be- tween Greece and Turkey were threatening, the question seems nearing a peaceful solution by Conference. But while vast standing armies are still ostentatiously kept up, suspicions must nullify th,* studied professions of peace. Our planet has been anything but calm. Earthquakes of vast extent have done fearful work in South America, and their vibrations have been felt in Ireland, England, and other parts of Europe, and even Australia. Gales of un- usual violence have sunk many goodly vessels on their passage, and the crews and passengers have found their last homes in the angry deep while finally, thousands of fruitful acres in Great Britain have been completely sub- merged by the continuance of heavy rains. In agriculture the events, too, have been marvellous to review. A long protracted drought, with intense heat, characterised the summer. The hay crop and all esculents were materially reduced. All spring corn suffered in consequence as to the yield, more especially oats. The light lands, where wheat was grown, gave but a scanty produce, and fears were entertained that all soils would materially suffer. Those fears soon gave way upon an examination of the standing crops, and the result has been the largest and best growth of wheat known during the present century. And though it may be that England stands first, many countries in Europe have also enjoyed the blessing. There have, indeed, been exceptions. Spain is a serious one, and some localities in Russia complain; but, as a whole, the entire world has had a good gathering of the staple food of the human race. Nothing could be more opportune for at the commencement of the year wheat at Dantzic was quoted at 80s. per qr., and stocks everywhere were getting so exhausted after the bad harvest of 1867 that it was doubtful whetherforeign supplies would hold out, but the un- usually early and bountiful harvest at once settled the question. We have, therefore, seen a heavy reduction in prices, when wheat was, and even now is, selling at less than barley, till a large consumption for cattle food and other purposes has brought some reaction, which we ex- pect to be permanent, with a further rise in spring. Bar- ley has turned out less than expected, and is thought to be nearly exhausted. Oats appear still more deficient, not- withstanding the high prices paid and were it not for foreign help in beans and peas, both would be much dearer. The complaint from many quarters nowis, "we have nothing to send but wheatand with a rising market there is still likely to be less, as it is the farmers' banking stock, and his only chance. Doubtless, supplies will find their way here on the breaking up of the frost, but the relative difference between foreign and English rates is not such as to promise large cargoes. As respects the averages, the highest price was 74s. 7d. in May, and the lowest 49s. 5d. in December, making the decline 25s. 2d. per qr. The present crop looks well upon the ground, if somewhat in danger from over luxuriance and the multiplication of ver- min but we hope, on the subsidence of the floods, no harm will result, but that the opening spring, with the full blessing of Heaven, will be as favourable as farmers could desire, and that the new year will at maturity bring plenty of good corn to the stack and the barn, as well as a substantial increase to the bank. The past week has con- tinued to-show great firmness for the time of year, with a rise of fully Is. per qr. France has exhibited something of an upward movement in prices, as well as Belgium, and in New York the tendency is to improvement, only checked by rising freights.

The circular of Messrs Louis and Son, wool brokers, Bradford, says-" The prospects for the clip of 1869 can- not be said to be good. The past season, owing to the drought, was exceedingly unfavourable for the green and root crops, and all through the summer months great numbers of sheep absolutely perished by starvation. Barley, oats, beans, pease, hay, and turnips, though good in quality, were very seriously deficient in, quantity. Sheep farmers were obliged to sell stock at any price, and an immense number of lambs and sheep were slaughtered which under more fortunate circumstances would have been retained at their pastures. It must not be overlooked, however, that with the autumnal rains, turnips and grass recovered rapidly, and that, owing to the mild season which has carried us so far through the winter, stock has been kept grazing to an unusually late period, and the hay- ricks remain almost intact. Whether the quality of next year's woollwill be affected, unfavourably or otherwise, by the dry season and unaccustomed food of this summer, is a matter upon which we do not venture to offer an opinion, but it is the general belief throughout the country that the quantity must under any circumstances be de- ficient."
LIBERAL BANQUET TO MR JüXES-PARRY,…
LIBERAL BANQUET TO MR JüXES- PARRY, M.P. A banquet to celebrate the return of Mr T. Love D. Jones-Parry, M.P. for the county of Carnarvon, was held on New Year's Day, at the Queen's Hotel, Llandudno. About eighty gentlemen sat down to dinner. Mr W. Bulkeley Hughes, M.P. for the Carnarvon boroughs, pre- sided, the vice-chairman being Mr Osborne Morgan, M.P. for Denbighshire; and Mr R. Da vies, M.P. for the county of Anglesea, was amongst the company. After dinner the loyal, patriotic, and other customary toasts were proposed and very warmly received, and the health of Lord Mostyn, to whom the chairman referred as a staunch Liberal and tried friend of the people, was drunk amidst loud applause. The CHAIRMAN", on again rising, said he need not re- mind the company that they were met that evening to celebrate a glorious victory, achieved, he believed he might say, as much to the astonishment of their own party as to the chagrin of the other side. (Applause.) He can- didly confessed that when he heard of the intention of bringing out a Liberal candidate for the county of Car- narvon, he thought the candidate's chance would be hope- less, because, having had some little experience of it him- self, he knew the weight of the influence and pressure—he would not call it tyranny—which would be brought to bear against any Liberal candidate who might presume to come forward. (Hear, hear.) He was happy to say that his fears had not been realised, and he was proud—and he was sure they were all proud—to see his friend and con- nection Mr Jones-Parry sitting on his right hand that evening as the representative for the county of Carnarvon. (Applause.) They had heard of a "banquet of consola- tion" which was recently given in another part of the county. (Laughter, and a voice: "A funeral feast.") There was a great deal of truth spoken at that banquet, but there was also a great deal said that was not true, and he deeply regretted that his Nonconformist brethren were assailed in the way they were by the late member- for the county. He thought-it redounded little to that gentle- man's credit to assail men as honourable and as conscien- tious as himself. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe that the aspirations of a Liberal nonconformist could ever in- duce him to say to an elector, If you don't vote for such- and-such a candidate the gates of Heaven are closed against you." (Loud cries of -No, no.") He hoped they would form a Liberal Registration Society and exert themselves to the utmost to secure to Mr Jones-Parry in the future that seat which they had given to him. He was sure that that gentleman would do justice to the posi- tion which he held as their representative. He was a good man and true, and, beyond anything else, he was a Cymro. (Applause.) He gave them, with all the cordiality of a friend, a constituent, a neighbour, and a Welshman, "The health of their member, Mr Jones- Parry." The toast was drunk with enthusiasm. Mr JOXES-PARRY, on rising to respond, was received with prolonged applause. After thanking the company, not only for the flattering manner in which thev had drunk his health but for the support they had given to him during the late contest, he said the Liberals of Car- narvon had effected a small revolution. (Laughter.) Their honourable opponents had done them the honour to call them, amongst >ther charming names, revolutionists. He accepted the term. They were revolutionists, but they were peaceful revolutionists. (Hear, hear.) The idea which was conveyed to many minds by the word "revolu- tion was, that it was something extremely bloody, mur- derous, violent, abominable, and unjust—as were some of the revolutions in former days—but it was their good for- tune to live under a constitution which was so elastic and so well-balanced that revolutions could be carried on with- out any bloodshed whatever. Their honourable oppon- ents, who were formerly called Tories, and who after- wards preferred to call themselves Conservatives, had now adopted the name of Constitutionalists. (Laughter.) Now. he did not wish to say one word which would be offensive to, or hurt the feelings of, their opponents; but he must object to their appropriating this title—(hear, hear)—be- cause it was the principle of the party to which he had the honour to belong not to allow any monopoly of any kind, and particularly not to allow any monopoly of loyalty or of constitutionalism. (Hear, hear.j The Liberal party he believed to be imbued with as loyal sentiments as any other party in the community; and for his part he felt as strongly and as firmly inclined to support the constitution of this country as any man, and he would challenge, not only his gallant and honourable friend and late opponent, Mr Pennant, but anybody else, to say otherwise. (Hear, hear.) But the constitution of this country was not a thing of a day it had been gradually developed. The barons wrung from King John the Magna Charta, which had developed itself year after year under the most ad- verse circumstances until they came to the melancholy period of King Charles the First and the protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. His ancestor, Geoffrey Parry, was a colonel in a cavalry regiment under Oliver' Cromwell, and stood by and fought and bled for the liberties of the coun- try. The only reason he referred to this was to show that in those days a revolution—that was a change of policy—a radical change of the policy of the kingdom—could not be achieved but by force of arms, and, consequently, inflicted grief and ruin upon a large portion of the inhabitants of the kingdom. In these days, on the contrary, they lived under so beautifully-constituted a constitution and Gov- ernment. and under so constitutional a Queen—God bless her !-that they were able to carry out constitutionally, peacefully, bloodlessly, and without violence—and in that county they had scarcely any violence during the election; indeed, he might say none-they were able to carry out in a peaceful and quiet manner very great and radical changes in the policy and government of the kingdom; and there- fore he was perfectly ready on his part to accept the name of a revolutionist-a peaceful revolutionist. (Hear, hear.) U, udoiibtedly, during the last two or three months a very decisive revolution had been effected throughout the United Kingdom of England and Ireland-a very decisive and verv distinct change of policy. The country at the last election had decided, in a most undoubted and indu- bitable manner, in favour of Mr Gladstone and the policy which he recommended should be pursued towards Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom, and consequently the late Prime Minister, one of the most talented and dis- tinguished men of the age, very properly considered it his duty, in the face of the verdict of the community at large, which he had challenged, to resign his post. He would not for a moment say that Mr Disraeli made a virtue of a necessity; on the contrary, he was willing to give him not for a moment say that Mr Disraeli made a virtue of a necessity; on the contrary, he was willing to give him every possible credit for the very proper and constitutional manner in which he gave in, resigning his post before he was forced to do so by an adverse vote of the new Parlia- ment which he had called into existence. The feeling of the country having been so unmistakably expressed, the new Parliament—to which, through the favour and confi- dence of the electors of that county, and particularly of Llandudno, he had the honour to belong—would find it their duty to carry out the measures which Mr Gladstone had announced. (Applause.) In conclusion, it only re- mained to him to thank the inhabitants of Llandudno and the neighbourhood for the way in which they had sup- ported the Liberal cause. He did not for a mement sup- pose that their support was given to him on personal grounds. He simply represented a cause, and they had given their support to Gladstone and Liberal principles. (Applause.) He could only say that, as he felt those principles deeply and honestly—otherwise he should never have come before them—so he would to the best of his ability carry out those principles. He begged now to propose a toast which he hoped they would drink with the cordiality with which he proposed it; it was The health of the Electors of Carnarvon in the Llandudno and Conway district;" and he coupled with the toast the names of Mr J. B. Evans and Mr Thomas Parry, more usually known by the name of Cattwg Ddoeth. (Ap- plause.) Mr EYANS having responded, Mr OSBORXE MORGAN proposed the health of Mr Bulkeley Hughes, M. P., which was received with musical honours, and duly responded to. The health of Mr R. Davies, M.P., followed, and, having been acknowledged, Mr C. R. R. Hall proposed the health of Mr Osborne Morgan, who responded in an able speech, defending himself against the attack which had been made upon him, and characterizing the conduct of some of Colonel Myddelton Biddulph's supporters, in charging him (Mr Morgan) with a want of honour in not retiring in the Colonel's favour, as "one of the most out- rageous pieces of insolence ever addressed to mortal man." Mr Morgan repeated that he had offered to pay Colonel Biddulph's expenses, and to take the second place; but what was he to do, he asked,-when he found the Colonel coalescing with Sir Watkin ? The CHAIRMAN next proposed the health of Mr David Williams, M.P. for Merionethshire, which was very warmly received, and his nephew, Captain Williams, responded. Several other toasts were proposed before these very successful proceedings came to an end.
STATE OF THE SEA WALL.I
STATE OF THE SEA WALL. I To the Editor of the Aberi/stwi/th Times- SIR,-In a' contemporary has appeared a letter signed "A Ratepayer," stating that the sea wall near the Pro- menade Pier is in a bad state of repair, requires point- ing," has holes in it so that when the tides are high, the return water of the wave pumps freely in and out of the interstices thus created." Now, this statement is entirely without foundation, as the wall is in excellent condition, and thoroughly good repair, and has been under mv constant personal supervi- sion. In addition, the head mason employed by the Commissioners, who is a good workman, and a steady and trustworthy man, has been, under my directions, in the habit of visiting and pointing the wall daily, during stormy weather, and once—occasionally twice—a week during fair weather. Several gentlemen have, since the publication of "A Ratepayer's letter, been to see the publication of "A Ratepayer's letter, been to see the wall, and can fully support what I say. I have been a servant of the public in this county for a great many years, and my works can, I think, bear testi- mony to the fact that I understand my business, and that ] I am not very negligent of my duties and I think it a J hard case that I should be vilified by an anonymous writer, who, like many others, seems to find it much easier to be "critical than correct."—I am, Sir, your obedient servant, JUHN V A UGH AX, Surveyor for the County of Cardigan, Dec. 31,1868, and Borough of Aberystwyth.

CHURCH RATES.
CHURCH RATES. At a meeting of Archdeacons of England and Wale?^ held at the Master's-lodge, Charter-house. London, Dee. 9th, 1868, to consider and advise upon the position of the Church under the Act 31 and 32 Vie., c. 109, entitled "An Act for the Abolition of Compulsory Church-rates'* (present twenty-four Archdeacons from both provinces),' the following paper was agreed to, directed to be printed, and sent to all the Archdeacons :— The undersigned Archdeacons of England and Wales, having considered the legal position of the Church in respect of the means of sustaining churches and churchyards, and of providing things necessary to Divine Service. under the Act of 18S. beg to submit to their brethren the clergy, the churchwardens, and other laity, the observations and recommendations hereinafter contained 1. They observe, first, that, although the power of legal recovery of Church-rate has been done a way by the Act, th9 ancient machinery for making it is left untouched. 2. That, in their judgment, it is the duty ef clergy, church* wardens, and people to make every possible tiial of the new law, and, wherever the circumstances of a parish are favourable, tœ bring it into full and active operation. "3. That, even in other cases, it would be good, now that all Compulsory payment is at an end, to invite the parishioners ta maintain by general assessment, as recognized in the Act, that which is for the general use and benefit. "4. That, in their judgment, it is better that the necessary expenses of church and churchyard and of public worship should be provided for bv assessment made under the authority of tha new Act than by pew or sitting rents, or by money collected at the offertory. 5. That the provisions of section 7. enabling all bodielf corporate, trustees, guardians, and others to pay Church-rate, and the provisions of section 8, enabling the owner, on condition ot the payment of the assessment, to stand in the place of the occupier who makes default of payment, after one month'J demand, are valuable and ought in every case to be adopted. "6. Lastly,—They recommend the adoption of the provisions of section 9 for appointment of trustees for the purpose of accepting by bequest, donation, contract, or otherwise, and ot holding any contributions which may be given to them foa: ecclesiastical purposes in the parish.' The paper is signed by the following among otheC Archdeacons:- S. Wynne Jones, Archdeacon of Bangor and Anglesey; John Evans, Archdeacon of Merioneth John Allen. Archdeacon of Salop Robert Wickham, Archdeacon of St. Asaph Henry P. Ffoulkes. Archdeacon of Montgomery; William North, Arc4- deacon of Cardigan.

NOTTINGHAM, SATURDAY.—The show of beef at our market was middling, and a fair amount of business was done, at prices ranging from 5!d. to 6Sd. Mutton was disposed of at late rates, viz., 6Jd. to 7d. per lb. Pork scarce, and very dear. Nothing doing in veal. PETERBOROUGH, SATURDAY.—Prime sorts of beef changed hands at last week's rates, and secondary ditto sold at less money. Mutton a dull sale, at prices ranging from Gd. to 7d. Pork fetched 6d. to 6|d. per lb. METROPOLITAN, MONDAY.—The total imports of foreign stock into London last week amounted to 1,617 head. There were fair average supplies of foreign stock on sale here to-day, for which the demand ruled tolerably active, at last Monday's prices. From our own grazing districts the arrivais are season- ably extensive; and the condition of the beasts, on the whole, showed decided improvement. The trade ruled steady, but scarcely so active as on Monday last, and no quotable change took place in value. Best Scots and crosses realised 5s. 6d. per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received about 1,850 shorthorns, &c.; from other parts of England, about 650 of various breeds; from Scotland, 548 ex- cellent Scots and crosses; and about 120 oxen from Ireland. We were moderately supplied with Sheep, and there were some very good animals on sale. The demand for all breeds ruled somewhat inactive, and the quotations were with difficulty main- tained. The extreme price for best Downs and half-breds was 5s. 6d. per 81b. The Calf trade was steady at our quotations, and Pigs ruled firm in value for both large and small animals. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—There were at market 2,420 beasts and 10,107 sheep. There was a large supply of both beasts and sheep, which met with a ready sale. There being many coui try buyers (some from London), a good clearance was made. The stock on offer was of a middling description. Quotations: Best beasts, 7^d. to 8Jd.; second best, 6^d. to 7id.; inferior, 5d. to 6|d.; sheep, 6^d. to 8d. per lb.

THE INTERNATIONAL YACHT MATCH.—THE CAMBRIA.— Some weeks ago we published, with such comments as we thought suitable, the letter of Mr. Ashbury, owner of the English yacht Cambria, to the New York Yacht Club., It will be remembered that the letter in question mada some suggestions, and invited several contests. The first was, that the New York Club should select and send ovec to England, in time for the Cup races of the Royal Yacht Club and Royal Yacht Squadron, a vessel, or vessels, not more than 20 per cent. larger tonnage than the Cambria; that, after the American vessel had participated in such of those races as should be convenient, she should sail an ocean match from the Isle of Wight to New York against the Cambria, under no restrictions as to sails on number of crew, and without giving any allowance foe difference of tonnage. The third proposition was to sail the best of three matches around Long Island, with allow* ance for tonnage. Of the answer the New York Yacht Club may have made to Mr. Ashbury we have no know. ledge, but in another part of this paper we give letters ta the gentleman in question from Mr Henry G. Stebbing.1 owner of the Phantom, and Mr James Gordon Bennett,' jun., owner of the Dauntless. From Mr Stebbins's lettec we gather the probability that the reply of the Yacht Club to Mr. Ashbury merely sets forth the conditions undec which the Royal Cup, won by America in England, is ta be sailed for. These conditions were imposed by those who presented the Cup to the New York Club, and it iss not at liberty to depart from them. We give these condi* tions with the letters of Mr Stebbins and Mr Bennett* It will be seen that the cup is made a perpetual challenge trophy, the club which may hold it being liable to be challenged to be sailed for its further possession at any time, and the place and terms of the race, unless there is mutual agreement to the contrary, being provided. The New York Yacht Club has it in its power to agree to M Ashbury's conditions for sailing the best of two in threa matches around Long Island, but it is not compelled to agree to them. The letter of Mr Stebbins to Mr Ashbury is cordial and handsome. It congratulates the owner of the Cambria on her victory over the Sappho, assures him of a cordial and hospitable reception here next fall, if ha comes, and states that Mr Stebbins will be ready to test the sailing qualities of the Phantom against those of the Cambria in any match that may be agreed upon after the arrival of the British yacht in our waters. So far, so good,! We now come to Mr Bennett's letter, which, as will be seen, is quite as polite and handsome as the others, and a good deal more likely to lead to real business in a ship. shape, seaman-like sort of way. When we commented so favourably uj>on Mr Ashbury's suggestions, we declared that the real pith and marrow of the three lay in that which proposed a race of three_ thousand miles to westward and windward, without restrictions as to canvas or crew* Mr Bennett seems to have thought so too, and therefora he agrees to sail his 3racht the Dauntless against the Cam* bria from Cowes to New York, or from Cowes to tha Azores (Western Islands of the sailors) and back, or any other race of three thousand miles at sea. He prefers this to sailing races in inland waters, and we believe him to be in the right. Ocean races afford much truer and betten tests of the speed and weatherly qualities of the yachts, of the science and sagacity of their navigators, and of the skill and hardihood of their sailing masters. Therefore ha may exclaim; Their idle Phantom I freely grant them, But there's an anthem More dear to me! sung by the rolling billows of the deep blue sea! One objection indeed may be advanced against the match which Mr Bennett is willing to sail against the Cambrig, after his arrival in England next May. His schooner, tha Dauntless, is considerably larger than Mr Ashbury's yacht, but that Mr Bennett cannot help, and we do not think that it would make any material difference to the result. In very heavy weather it might do so, but in the summec time, when light winds prevail to a considerable extent, the smaller schooner might often have the advantage in, going closehauled when the breeze was v> eak ana batmng. Therefore, we think an ocean match at least will grow out of the correspondence which has taken place and if such a one is arranged between the two famous schooners Cam- bria and Dauntless, as yachts worthy of representing tha kindred and maritime peoples of the British Islands anct the United States, a world-wide curiosity will be created, and no small addition made to the pleasurable interest o £ civilised mankind. Retc 1 orlc of the Times, Ashbury has addressed the following letter to the editoE of the D'aily News" Sir,—The excessive tonnage of the Dauntless has obliged me to decline racing that vessel from the Isle of Wight to New York, but I am still in hopes my challenge will be accepted by the Phantom, a schooner of a tonnage about 6 per cent, less than the Cam- bria, Trusting you may find it convenient to msert the enclosed replies to New York* 1 &c.j vASi f -Brighton, Dec, 30,"
