C., January 21.-Mr. Kimpton, tho liuanoial agent of tho State at Now York, has arrived here. Ho makes a very favorable report as to tho steady appreciation of South Carolina bonds and stocks in the New York market, and says that tho State can obtain as much money as she requires at reasonable ratos of interest. 1 learn also from the best authority that, notwithstanding the issue of a million and a half of bonds to meet the liabili? ties of the State, tho fl J a tinpr debt bas not in? creased, while not a bond has boon sold. A bill will be introduced in tho Legislature to fund tho interest on the State debt due in Joly and on the first of January. An offer was made from Charleston to lend the money ne? cessary to pay the interest, but BO high a rate of interest was asked for that the offer could not be accepted. The collection of taxes now depends upon the industry of the assessors in the various coun? ties. It is generally believed that at least a million and a half dollar i will be collected this year. Mr. Corbin's bill to confirm and validate the reoent election for Mayor and Aldermen of tho Oity of Charleston will probably be introduood in the Scnato to-morrow.

TUE VISIT OE ATTORNEY-GENERAL CHAMBERLAIN TO ABBEVILLE DISTRICT. TO THE EDITOR OS THE NEW3. COLUMBIA, S. C., January 22.-I have read with great surprise in THE NEWS of this date, the statements of your -Columbia correspon? dent in reference to my recent visit to Abbe? ville. While I am euro your correspondent did not intend to misrepresent the oase, I am still compelled to say that nearly all he has stated of my visit to Abbeville is drawn from" his own imagination, alni n jt from statements or expressions of mine. What I did say, and what I take pleasure in saying now, is that personally I was treated with entire civility and kindness; that I myself saw no evidences of present disorder or lawlessness, and that so far aa words go, the recent outrages in that county are condemned by those with whom I conversed. But my opportunities were not sufficient to warrant me in making any such general and confident observations as are at? tributed to me by your correspondent. I should rejoice to behove that all that I am represented as saying of the people of Abbe? ville is true; but 1 have yet reoeived no evi? dence which justifies me in asserting or be? lieving it. Very respectfully, D. H. CHAMBERLAIN. ? -??-^a??t. i? i ? RELIGIOUS TOPICS ABROAD. The Defection of the Marquis of Bute from the Established Chare ht-Its Moral Effect-The Spirit of th? Ritual? ists. The London correspondent of the New York Timos writes under date of January 9: I am inclined to think that the real sensation of the week has boon the news that the Mar? quis of Bute has turned Papist. This young man, just come of age, with three hundred thousand pounds a year and a peerage, has gone over to Rome. The Times has a leader a euluma long to prove that it is a matter of no consequence. The Marquis of Bute is no more than aoy other young man, and his three hundred thousand a year of no move ac? count than any other similar income. It is only one vote in tho Lords. That is eo; out for all that the fact is serious ana ?mojing. It sets every young peer, every young man to asking, ''What made him do it ?" and it is evi? dent that the Times would muon, rather he had followed the example of the Marquis of Hastings. When a thoughtful young noble? man, of illustrious family, wide connections, and almost fabulous wealth, goes over at thia period of Ritualistic and disestablishing ex? citement, it is a very serioue matter indeed, lt will influence many who are now wavering and uncertain. Forty years ago there was one Catholic priest in England who had been a clergyman of the Established Church-the Hon. and Rev. George Spencer. Now there are forty snob priests in this archdiocese of Westminster, and about two hundred in the country. Lay con ver te are probably in proportion. The returns the last year in the metropolis are 2200, and the oon-or per-verts are mostly from the upper and middle ranks of society. The Ritualist I papers, anticipating the recent decision against lighted candles and kneeling during consecra? tion, have beon {or.weeks denouncing secession to Rome; but tile Gorham decision, which was that a clergyman of the church need not be? lieve in Baptismal Regeneration, sent over hundreds; the Colenso difficulty has sent over hundreds more. What then is likely to happen when the Queen in Council decides that an aot of Parliament, passed three centuries ago, binds the church not only in doctrino, but down to the minutest ceremony, and thai thia act is to bo interpreted, not by bishops or eccle? siastical court?, but by three or four dissenting or infidel lawyers ? Whetb ir more or less aro driven over to Rome, ono thing seems cet tain, Clergymen openly admit that the disestabhshment of the cliur. li is at hand, and many of them aro ready to say of State control, with Dr. Pusey. "Behoving,I rejoice to seo too cursetemoved." The~nrst result of thia would bo to divide the actual establishment into four Or Ave different and warring soots, lt is only the State con? trol that DOW keeps them nominally together. In belief they aro now far aa the poles asunder. The State policy is to have the utmost uni? formity in ceremony, as to permit the utmost latitude in belief. You may interpret creeds or article? aa you please, follow Pusey or Co? lenso, bat you shall sot light a candle aa long aa you can seo to read tho service, dr kneel when tho Rubric says stand, or put water in the wino, under paid of indictment ?nd im? prisonment. But it ls not Ritualista alone who aro affected by the lat? decision. They can for the moat part evada it. it does not touch doctrine. By darkening their chancel? they oan lawfully light their candles. They nan bow very low without kneeling. They can pul water in tho wine in the vestry. They need not taconeo per? sons OK ??dugs, but burn an much a* tboy hke promiscuously. On the other hand, hy tho Judgment of the privy council, it Is obligatory on the lo wost evangelical to wear the vest? ments, and to consecrate with his tack to tho Keople.

Men who Bavo made Kort a ?cs on the t oast -Thc EMTfieets off Emancipation - How to nee the Hoe ?nd Plough, -Can Money he mnde hy Cultivating "kong Cotton. TO TBE EDITOR OF THE Tf BWS. I regret that in these lottere upon the "Fu? ture of the Coast of Sonth Carolina," I should be compelled to introduoo the names of gen? tlemen who aro far from courting publicity; but it ie my purpose to prove my positions by facts, and I cannot do this without giving tho authorities for the statements which I make. The late General Stephen Elliott succeeded in producing as high as four bales of cotton to the hand on Paris Island. This cotton if raised from the Fripp seed would have sold at thirty-fire cents per pound in gold, which would bo equal to four hundred and twenty dol? lars to the hand. And this result was accom? plished with not more than ene plough to five hands, if so much. There is another instance in whioh six hundred pounds of ootton was raised to the hand, when there was but one plough to ten hands, and this cotton was worth seventy-fivo cents a pound, or four hundred and fifty dollars to the hand. Mr. William B. Means was, if anything, more successful as a planter than Genoral Elliott. Mr. John J. T. Pope, of St. Helena, raised as muoh as three bales per hand, of cotton, worth forty-five cents per pound, and made forty bushels of corn to the acre. Here we haye again over $400 to the hand. Mr. William A. Morecock, of Port Boyal, if I am noe mistaken, also reaohed this high figure. Mr. James B. Seabrook, on a cast-away land at Hilton Head, made surprisingly large crops of cotton, whilst his corn cribs were always full and his cattle always fat. His crop of 1861 was appraised by experienced assessors at a trifle under a bale to the acre. The Poco taligo planters wore second to none. Among them we may mention Mr. Daniel Hey ward, one of our most proctioal planters of rice and cotton. Mr. James Gregorio and Mr. William Martin were also among the most successful. Now, how was their success secured ? We answer, as a planter's is:-Not by superior work alone, for seme of our nicest workers make small crops. It was by judicious tilth and high manuring, and by being always in time. Tho manuring and moving off at the right time, together with judgment in doing or not dom?, made the difference. But it may ba said tho large fortunes of our sea-coast planters wore inherited. I think it will not be denied that Captain William Seabrook amassed the most of hiB wealth. Micah Jenkins, the elder grand uncle, 1 think, of General, Micah Tonkins, be? gan with one negro after the Revolutionary War. He lived, if I mistake not, in great com? fort, it not elegance, and died a man of large fortune. Mr. Mungeon began with nothing. Mr. Jos. Kuk did the same. Captain Abraham Hugue nin began with a property by no means large. He was a most accomplished planter in its every sense, lived tn great affluence, and died a very rich man. Captain William Popo began with a handsome property, but ho increased it ten-fold. Mr. Ephraim Raynard began with his Rabbit Point place, and not over twenty bands. He was worth about a million of dol? lars before the war. Mr. William E. Raynard began with about the same means, lived in great comfort, and died a man of large wealth. Mr. W. G. Baynard began with very slender means. Ho died a man of ample fortune. So did Mr. Ephraim Seabrook, Sr. Mr. Robert Moans began without large means. He died the possessor of a large and valuable property. Mr. (Samuel Reid began with nothing. He died with a fine fortune. Mr. Burrell Sanders be? gan with nothing, but he was a man of largo means before the war. I might go on recounting name after name, and crop after crop, but I have said enough to prove that before the war seacoast planters could and did make handsome fortunes. It may be said these fortunes were made whilst the soil was fresh. Doubtless. Borne of these, however, wo takeit.didnot exceed some of the most reoent crops cited. These men had slaves. Granted. Slaves are not, however, divinities. What they gave was work. Ana an inferior amonnt of work, with equal economy on advanced prioo of produce, will bring the same result. To say that we change our sys? tem of labor is not to say it is lost. Nor do I fear the numerical superiority of the colored people; aud, to my mind, Bishop Butler's illustration of the island on whioh there were ten men and ten thousand fierce wild boasts is, in this connection, very striking. There, he says, the preponderance of men over brute force may be so great as to counterbal? ance the gift of intellect, and the wild beasts eat the men. But perchance if there were as many as fifty men; the gift of intellect would set at naught the numerical preponderance of the beasts and destroy them. I have been more than once reminded of this illustration in comparing the condition of the South with the emancipated colonies of the Wo3t Indies. The tremendous preponderance of the blacks in those islands makes the condition of things altogether different from what it is in the Bom h. There society puts on the complexion of the black, the preponderance Peing at least four to oue in favor of the black. In the South? ern States atone tho preponderance is two to one in favor of tho white. In the whole coun? try the preponderance is eight to one. Here, too, tho superior intelligence of the dominant raoe, as well as the necessity of labor to life, affords a controlling influence. Here society must put on the complexion of the white. This means labor, work, aud obedience, in the long run, to law. i be results, therefore, following West India emancipation are by no means suoh aa must necessarily follow emancipation m the South. Now let us recall some changes whioh slave society itself made in the labor of the blaoks. I have seen a very large house on the coast, with immensely heavy sills and timber in it, yet every portion thereof was out and brought out of the woods by hand. Rail fences, for miles long, were headed out by negroes. But such things hod. before the war, long gone into (lia? nte. Man labor was not put to the discount of substituting it for that of beasts of burthen. Abolishing slavery necessarily makes some serious changos in tho economy of labor. The tree laborer refuses, perchance, to dd many things whioh tho slave would do. Many intel? ligent masters refrained from making some of these very exactions. May nat tho black, pow that ho is his Own master, ask as muoh ? Ne? gro property is certainly dear to him, and ho must take care of it. Bs it cold, he refuses to go into the rioe ditches. Irishmen take his place. Masters make often tho same substitu? tion tor their slaves. When the foolish African laborer, however, refuses - the use of the hoe, and renders the free use of the plough JOOOS sary to tea island ootton culture, he by so muoh manumits bis old master. It ia true that, for the present, hoe work seems to be more or less necessary m the cul? tivation Ot long staple cotton; but it will not be long before we shill learn a system of ploughing adapted to our wants. Ploughing, even when best understood, is in its infancy. He who watches the steam plough at work, across the water, carrying five furrows fifteen inches deep, can form some idf-a of what awaits us in that direction. Now, the indisposition on the part of the colored people to perform their usual avocations witto alacrity and wil? lingness, will soon put in the hands Of those who are willing, means by whioh one man can do the work of five. Long before the present race forget their olden habits, it will be neces? sary to teach them new methods of operating. For the present we want the plough largely used so as to take off all the heavy work; but, in Our inexperience, we must have the work of tba hoe largely combined with it. With deep early t.llage, and shallow surface work rapidly delivered, accompanied by such a system of manuring aa will be ?W?B?V within onr roach, I do not see why our landa may not be profitably used, as of yore. We have phosphate bede in all directions, ss well aa an endless supply of very valuable marsh grass. If we cannot cultivate es mach land to the plough and band th#j ?ss is tbs up? country, we have a better soil io begin with and can manure muoh more economically, be? sidos hoing posBOBsed of some valuable local fertilizers peculiar to our section. We may thus with half the amount of land to the band, and a constantly improving system of manur? ing, reach even with thu short staple equally lucrative results. In order to restore our section we must surround ourselves with stock of all kind--. This must po made a specialty, and regular stock-mind rs bo employed. A country .which can sua-'ain droves of cattle through the winter witt out assistance from man surely affords a proper field for stock raising. The idea that t?ey cannot be kent on account of vagabond freedmen is fallacious. Make the business one1*of importance and it will take care of itself. ..know several parties on the coast who ba v.- stocks of cattle and who have kept thom "without mate? rial loss. In other cases there hod been severe loss. If there is any kind of law at all, even pretended law, it must be tho moans or controlling tu i s matte- where many par? ties become largely interested therein. Ibis certainly within control. All theso things now ridiculed as impossibility ?8 aro plainly within our reach as soon as we have a little money lo spare from annual espouses. As soon as this occurs we have th. , matt or in our own hands, and it will be otu* own fault if ?0 io uko not rapid progress in the right direction. As long as we have to borrow monoy for our an? nual exponeos our specialty must be cotton or sumo other very marketable crop. When we escape this necessity we are our own mas? ters. Without dur own nv. nay to dorry on our operations wo work to the-' greatest disadvanr tage in evory way; eo uiomy, therefore, is the very corner-atono of all future success. If we could borrow thousands .this would be our policy. We come to market in debt, and our crops are pressed into uso at a ruinons figure. Wo como to town, and factors talk to us often as if we were children just awake, and did not see further than the boundaries of our plantation. And because we can't make crops in a tub of water, we aro told that a mau attempting to {ilant "sea islands" is fit for the asylum. One actor says, you must plant common cotton. Another factor tells us th ;t "extra flue" is the thing. This is always so With people who have to be helped by others, but it is none the less confusing and annoying. By adverse seasons and incidental but not necessary circumstances ooi?heoted with them, we have lost money in the sea island business. Straight way conclusions 01*0 drawn, whioh, when expressed in plain language, rnn thus : "It wiirrain in continued torrents every year hereafter. The gulf stream has receded a hun? dred miles. Tho caterpillars will come overy year worse and worse." We do not know what tho year may bring forth, but it seems unlikely that seasons that have not occurred before for fifty years should repeat themselves continually. We have not sufficient data to say that the caterpillars will como every year. As to the labor question, success will sol vo it here just as it has dono in the uplaud regions to a greater or less degree, according to circumstances. Success will oust squatters by taking up tho ianda. It will tilford ready capital for future operations. It will regulate affairs by the ?uro momentum of property values. It wilt challenge the protec? tion of law; make law and mend it; seize and hold it to its performance. Success means power, and power means a capacity at least to ?irovide for its own wants. Men are stunned ust now by the tremendous changes hurried over civilization. Liberty looks foolish, with a black cap pulled over her oyes. But tho South isa big country, with big ; interests. It de? mands law and obedience., to law, and will in the long run have it, despite the folly of South? ern politicians, the grimaces and trickery of all civilized and uncivilized scamps. Things will climb up to the demands ot ne? cessity, and Southerner, Yankee and African, each under his own vine, will find it common sense in the end to take carool the best inter? ests of society against ali and any who con? tinue its injury for their own personal aggran? dizement.

A Paris letter says: "Mr. Davis, with his wife, carno almost unher? alded on New Year's Eve, and the next day they were met by your correspondent, walking quietly along the Champs Elysees, and entirely unnoticed or unknown by the hundreds of thou? sands of persons who were promenading that magnificent avenue. Although Mr. and Mrs. Davis were stopping at the Grand Hotel, they are under the direct charge of Colonel Dudley Mann, who, os is well known, has taken up his permanent residenoe in Paris since the close of the struggle upon the American 'continent. President Davis looks much older and more careworn than when your correspondent lost saw'him in the bey-day of the Southern Con? federacy, but his spirits are better than one would suppose. He speaks calmly aod, dispas? sionately of affairs upon your side of tho water, but sees no light ahead for lus "own people," while he thinks the North is basking in a sun? light of prosperity altogether artificial, and which, like the splendid brilliancy thrown for a moment upon the closing scene of a grand the? atrical spectacle, is destined to end in darkness only the more apparent from the contrast so recently exhibited." The Gaulois, one of the leading opposition papers of Paris, comos ont with the following spirited sketch of the distinguished exile, his character, antecedents, and above all his digni? fied bearing in adversity : Jefferson Davis, ex-President of the Confed? erate States of America, is in Paris with his wife, v hose heroism has been equal to her hard fate. He has come here to find a retreat for his children, who have been left temporarily in England. There is nothing moro simple than this man, tempered like our fathers of '93, aid who like them suddenly hurled over the Southern States as many armies as the French Kopablio, at its birth, opposed to all Europe in coalition. Jefferson Davis is tali, Blender, upright ; his chest is expansive, and his bust supports a splendid head atteohod to broad shoulders by a short neck. The forehead is ample, its lines sharply de? fined by masses of gray bair, and slightly rounded; beneath it are eyes of clear blue, very sweet In expression, and observant, and re? flecting deep inner thoughts and reveries. Thc figuro is spate; the oheek bones are projecting and the cheeks sunken; the nose is aquiline, like an eagle's beak; the month is very large and expressive of benevolence, sweetness and resolution; the ohin is long. The general im? pression conveyed by such a physiognomy is that of a meditative and kindly man. But if it does riot promise, in Jefferson Davis' case, a hope of happier days, and of tho realization cf his grand designa, it reveals tho firm belief of this oitiaen of the world in .the judgment of the men of his time, and of a posterity daily becoming less prejudiced and more favorable to him. Jefferson Davis speaks softly, and his fea? tures relax when ho smiles. Ho is slow in ex ?reusing himself in our language, into whioh 0 la continually introducing phrases in his native idiom. He i& sparing o? gesture, is well as ff recriminations. But in hismotner tongue he employs terms of expression as neat as they aro conciso. He has remained faithful to slavery as a principle, but modified, as ho always held it. Ha concedes tights to that black race which shall prove that it is born to enjoy them, and flt to comprehend thom; but in hi? heart ho is persuaded that the African race and thc Cau? casian race can neyer assimilate. Besides, the extreme violence with which the demands of the anti-al ave ry party were put forward, the effect of windi was the instantaneous ruin ot tho Southon;ors. counted for a great deal in the opposition of the latter. Here Jefferson Davis enjoys liberally the ex? hibitions which Ports offers, which ne finds vety beautiful, and whioh he follows up un? weariedly all day long. As to what concerna material life, he ur wd-.ff iront to his diet, brea vrvalma on oread and butter and toa. and dia;ng W two din?e?. In a moral point of ?lew, his courage, his views, his uprightness, his exquisito probity, the example he has given of sjfW-dsnrotion and all kinda of oetf-abnega tion; hie faith in the principles tor which he has sacrificed everything and suffered every. IUtiuKt his apostolic calrri and martyr-like pity of hu enemies; hi? resignation, hist serenity ail have made of Jefferson Davis an exceptional man, and BO elevated that in tho midst of our petty civilization be cannot be approaohed with? out srreat respect. Mr. Jefferson Davis dined on New Year's day with his former representative at Paris, Mr. Slidoll. The dinner was entirely private. Mrs. Jefferson Davis, being in mourning for ber motber, was not present. GRANT ALNI) TU JO "FAT CONTRIBU? TOR." The Pr?sident Kleef on Pabilo Men, The "Fat Contributor" telegraphs tho fol? lowing information to the Cincinnati Times : I have just had au interview with General Grant, aud obtained some of his ideas of pub? lic men, not given in the opinions published in the New York World, whioh I herewith Boud you. Ben Franklin is unquestionably a rapid type-sticker, and his enterprise in collecting the latest news renders him invaluable to an almanac, but he is visionary. His theory about tiguLning-rods priteoiing UOUSOB and barns during a thunder storm is one of the most ab? surd things I ever heard of. Old Parr is a young man of brilliant talents and ambitions, butjhe ought to take better care of himself, I fear that be is baa toning to an early grave. Washington is an efficient general of militia, and ono of our moit civil engineers. Many have censured him for that little affair witb his father's sherry tree, but 1 think it is time for us to bury tbe hatchet. I bave never seen Webster yet, though I have read his dictionary. It is not surprising to me that a man of so many words couldn't bo President. ? consider Colonel Crockett to bo our great? est American humorist, next to Tupper. His telling the coon not to a'ioot, he would como down out of the tree, is equal to anything I have road in the Globo. George Franois Train is one of our most noble women. His appeals in behalf of her sex are both powerful and convincing. No one oan read her speech os without being convinced he ought to vote. Brick Pomeroy is the modern Alexander tbe Great, weeping because there aro no more Worlds to conquer. What profltetb it a man though he gain the whole World and lose both his daily and weekly circulation ? I have nothing a irani at Jeff.

Let us have poace. 0 I have no idea of removing "Nasby" from the postoffice. He must be a substantial addition to tho revenue of the department, for his "let? ters" pass through every postoffioe in the Unit? ed States. Napoleon Bonaparte will probably never min? glo in public affairs again, so I will say little about bim. If, however, he had been elected President of the United States, and attempted to read all the petitions and applications for office that come, he would have been sent to the lunatic asylum instead of St. Helena. He bad a little luck in that particular, at least. Brigham Young is a multitudinous husband and a numerous father, who has certainly done a great deal for Ut ab. How far ho is going to be allowed to "do" the United States remains to be seen. "J. N." is not as crazy as he might b?. I am not sure but ho would make a good Secre? tary of the Treasury. He is in favor of deed? ing all the land back to the Indians, and let tho Indians assume the national debt. This would certainly be an easy and rapid solution of our financial difficulties. Peabody is a well meaning man, of much principle upon which he has realized a great doal of interest. His princely gift to the Lon? don poor, I fear, is wonting harm. Men who waro in Comfortable cir cuma tunca a before that ' donation was made, reduced themselves to abject beggary for the purpose of getting a Eortionof the legacy, thereby setting avery ad example indeed. * Dan Bice wanted to be President, and he may be yet. If he was be would sell out the public buildings, devoting the proceeds to? wards paying the national debt, and carry on the government under a canvass to the music of a band. It's hard to ge back on the habits of a life time. I should be more contented if there was a tanyard baok of the White House There is a great deal of useless talk about Morrissey's having been in the "ring.'' A member of Congress who isn't in some sort of a "ring-' nowadays is very rare, indeed; and there are few of those "rings" as respectable as the pr izo-ring. Big mm have helped Mor? rissey to fortune. His clubhouse is said tobe the house that Vander-built. Yours, Ac, FAT CONTRIBUTOR. RITUALISTIC TROUBLES IN ENG? LAND. On Christmas Eve a midnight celebration was held at St. James', Brighton, England. The church was partly filled by a respectable auditory, the building itself profusely decorat? ed with laurels, holly and flowers, many large croases being formed by the same. The altar wa? decorated with flowers, and on a side table was the usu <1 light burning, bot on thia occasion surmounted r>y a carved figure of the Infant Saviour. 2he usual display of em? broidered dresses, Seo., was exhibited by the officiating priests and choristers. The proceed? ings commenced with the imposing ?proces? sion, during which and throughout the en? tire service incense was freely scattered about. In fact, notwithstanding the recent decision ot the privy council, lights, incense, bowings, Sec., were upon the usual excessive scale. Many slightly suppressed sounds of discontent were heard throughout the service, both within and without the building, bub at the com? mencement of the offertory sentences a man at last cried out : "It ia perfect bosh; I say perfect rubbish." Immediately some of the vergers, with their oakeiTstaves, rushed to the pew m whioh ho was sitting; the priests looked aghast, and the choristers and the congrega? tion seemed terror-stricken as the gentleman proceeded to say, when efforts were made to expel bim, "I expected this; I am not afraid to repeat my words; it is all perfect rubbish; leave me alone; I will go away without help." The vergers again attempted to take hold of him, when he again said, "It perfect rubbish; .1 came here to worship* God according to the tenets of the Church of England, not of the Church of Rome ! This is ail mockery and rubbish. Mr. Purohas." The last words he uttered while crossing the church and near? ing the altar. On reaching the first (inner) doors of the building, two or three over-earn? est vergers rather pushed him into the outer lobby and thence into the street. Tbe service was then resumed, though the voico of the officiator waa very tremulous, and sidelong glances were taken by those in the choir at every murmuring sound from without. Many persons irr,mediately left - the budding; some ten or a dozen only remaining to partake of the Holy Communion? in the celebration of whiou excessive bowings, lightings and i noon sings wei o most freely indulged In. The con? gregation separated about one o'clock, bat owing to a detachment of police ??hat were stationed without, tho orowd offered no per? sonal violence to thom as they dispersed. TKU BRITISH YACHT G AMURI A.-Th in fast sailing craft, owned by Mr. Ashbury, whioh is coming ever to (he United States to compete with American yachts for the possession of the onp won by the America, in 1831, is - a new v.. s sel, and was built by Ruteey, of Cowes, Isle of Wiglit, and was launched in 1868. Her length is 88 feet ; beam 20 feet 8 inoues. She. has a most irregular sheer, springing up suddenly foi ward and aft, something after, the style of a Dutch g elliott. Her head-knee is very short and appears stunted in growth. She has the ordinary racing baw, thoueh rather more hollow than usual. The foremast is well aft and tho mainmast well forward - too dose together, perhaps, to look well but spreading an immense area 9f canvas. She has about twenty-eight tons of lead ballast run .nd bolted into her. and about fifty tons of pig ballast. Her draft of water is about eleven and ft half feet,aft and five feet forward. The Cambria, lt ia stated, cannot be considered a very handsome model, but her speed, is un? questionable; and as the present practice is to place as antea lead ia th? ccntem of a V???I as oan ba stowed, and to spread MS much canvas a? possible on tho apars.. wealthy owners, like Mr. Ashbury, spare no expense to secure their success hy these means. Notwithstanding the advantages the Cambria possesses over matty yachts, it is asserted thal she cannot be con? sidered the bes, representative that England oin produoa to compete for the "ail-nations onp." OLIVER TWIfiT. Mr. Dickons introduood "Fagin," "Dill SykoB" and "Nancy" to an English audience on tho night of January 6th. In anticipation of tho event every goat in tho largo Kl. JanioH' Hall waa oooupiod. A ?till moro K?gui??cant expression of the desire to do him honor wan noticed in the effort made by tho audionco to bo in tho hall early. Tho paporn had stated that this waa Mr. Diekens' wish, and tho hold? ers of seats carno carly io such throngH that tho on tr au COB were badly blocked up. Tho London Daily Nowa again notices tho faults of Mr. Diokons na road or, and rom arks that hie qualities, both tho excellent and tho reverae, woro observable in tho now selection, wbioh ho then read in public for tho li cst timo. Porhaps wo cannot do bettor than give tho de? scription of the News, so far as it relates par? ticularly to the reading from "Oliver Twist," ia fnU ; The character of "Fagin" he acted through? out; and except that tho London "fenoe' had too near a resemblance to the money-lender of tho.Rialto, acted most admirably. The benev? olent young lady and her guardian were by no means so completely individualized: and even "Nancy" herself, fallen, degraded, brutalized, bub with still one spark of human feeling, with ono redeeming quality-her love for "Bill," and the hope that she may rescue him as well as hei'solf from their life of crime, and aave them both from its inevitable consequences scarcely had justice done to her. Mr. Dickens seemed afraid to display the full force of her passionate, half savage, but still woman's na? ture. . Ia the portrayal of tho vulgar, aus? picious, and cringing charity boy, "Noah Clay pole," he was more successful; and there was no want of ruffianism, of thorough, coarse, reckless brutality, in the picture which ho Dre sented of "Bill Sykes." The best parts of tho reading were undoubtedly tho interview be? tween "Sykes" and "Fagin," whore the Jow discloses "Nancy's" treachory, and urges suggesting only, but certainly urges?-his con? federate to her murder, tho description of that orael and cowardly deed, and the pasBage whioh records the death of the burglar, hanged in a noose of bia own making. Mr. Dickens had evidently reserved himself a good deal in the earlier part of tho reading, and worked up to the climax so skilfully and effectively as to bring down the house. " The applause was ao loud and continuous that he was compelled to return to the platform and bow his acknowl? edgments. pipping. FAST FHEIGHT LINK TO AND FROM BALTIMORE!, PHILADEL?
