Much alarm is felt by the tenantry on the
Waterford estates, in the county of ‘London-
derry, at the prospect of the property being
sold in the Landed Estates Court The Derry
Standard says that—‘In the event of the pro
perty being purchased by any land speculator
wider the ordi ary conditions annexed to
similar transfers, there will be leg ily wrought
a far more extensive confiscation of tenant
interests and tenant property, than any that
has cecurred in a district sinee the
plantation of Ulster.’ The tenants petitioned
the owner not to sell, but to retain the pro-
perty. This he cannot do, but it has been ar
raaged that the property shall be put up in
staull lets, so that tenants may have a chance
ol buying. Few of them, however, are in a
eondition to do so. The Slanderd adds :--
‘The nistory of the County De ry Estate is

years ago an ancestor of the Marquis of Wuter-
ford bought the property in question from the

SPEECH OF MR. JOHNSON.

Liverpool, October 23.

| In reply to the toast of the Chairman, « The
Health ot Mr. Johnson,’ Ninister Johnson re

turned thanks for himself and country, and
said he had been received everywhere with en-
thusiasm, but he had been warned that he would
not be so here. He was more than disappoint-
ed, be was overwhelmed with tokens of regard,
and he knew that the wisdom, sense and patriot

ism of the people of Liverpool would cause
them to forget the past and look with confidence
to the future. He was told that persous would
attend whom he ought not to meet, because
they aided the South. His reply was, that
such should attend, for it was most gratifying
to him, because it afforded an assurance to the
people of America, to the Governmetit and to
himself, that former differences had been tor-
yotten, and that now that part ot laverpool,
like thatof all England, bas but one feeling of
friendship towards the United States. W ben

THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE Latest News by Telegraph.

AT SPRINGFIELD, MASS.

Srrincrm.p, Mass., Oct. 21, 1868.
Abiding by the result of the great interna-
tional four-oared boat race in this city to-day.
The United States are obliged to yield the
‘championship of the world to the British Pro-
lvinces. The Ward Brothers—those celebrated
i knights of the oar—have, strange as it may
ixeem, been vanquished on American waters.
They nave seldom, if ever before, been defeat-
led; but in the famous St. John (New Bruns-
| wick) men they have found more than their
| naatch., This victorioas crew, it will be re
called, is the same one which participated in
ithe late international rowing match in Paris,
|on which occasion, to use an expressive term,
lit ** beat all creation,’ and of course the as-
}sumed title of the champion four-oared crew
| of the world justly belonged to them until they
‘found more than their equals, The Wards—
i Josh, Gil, Charley and Hen—rejoicing in the
ldistinction of the four-oared champions of
America, sought to make themselves more
famous in a profession which they have fol-
lowed from boyhood, and they accordingly
challenged the champions of the globe tor a
six mile race, the winning honors to be a purse
of $3,000 (1,500 a side) and the championship
| of the world. The provincial crew uecepted,
iand the raee came olf on the Connecticut river,
| opposite this city, today, the Wards being
| backed by Charles A. Peverelly ana Charles
Moore, of New York, and the St. John
by Charles E
| Harding, of St. John.
A contest between two crews so celebrated,
jand each having so many confidents, of course
|excited great interest among all admirers of
uquarial exercises, and in fact among the
whole sporting fraternity. The citizens cf the
| distant province scouted the idea of having the
| championship wrested from them, and the vad-
| mirers of the Wards were not modest in
asserting the certainty of their triumph; and
hence it was that the friends of both the com-
| petitive crews came in great numbers and from
| long distances to witness the contest and to
back their respective opinions with numerous

'a week or more since and were accompanied
or followed immediately after by their backers
and friends. Notwithstanding the oarsmen
had for a couple of months been in training,
ithey have nevertheless made it a daily habit
| to apply themselves vigorously to the oar dar-
ing their brief sojourn here previous to the
race,

The erowds who came to the city yesterday
land to day to witness the contest were indus-

|triously engaged in proclaiming their views
upon the merits and demerits of the respect-
ive crews around the hotels; but there was
very little, if in fuct any, betting until an hour
‘or two betore the competitors appeared in
‘their boats. The best explanation of this is,
| perhaps, the fact that there was considerable
delay in the choice of the referee, the backers
‘of the Ward crew seemingly being the stumbl-
| ing block to-auy selection which the others
interested in the race could unite upon. This
hitch in the arrangements influenced many to
believe that it was possible the Wards intend-
|ed to “throw the race,’ and there are many
who lost money on them who still cherish this
| belief’; but it is but fair to the defeated crew
|to say that those who profess to know, state
| that the contest was an honest one, and that
io race was in every respect honestly con-
ducted. Wilbur Bacon, of New Haven, was
ithe first man united upon for a referee; but it
| was subsequently ascertained that he was in

| New York and could not reach here in time,

jand after some delay Charles F. Brown, of

Newburg, N. Y., the stroke oar of the Yale
University crew of 1866, was chosen in his
|place The board of judges was then made
| up by the selection of H Hashagan, of the
Union Boat Club of New York, and Tim
| Douevan, of Newburg, for the Ward crew,
and Stephen King and Charles E

| ment the clouds, which had been threatening

| promise, to the exceeding displeasure of the
| thousands who were gathered along the shores
of the river to witness the great interuational
| boating contest of the age. Nwarly ail were
| fortified with umbrellas, however, and the un-
| fortunate ones who were not preferred a drench-
ing rather than miss the struggle which they
| were $0 eager to witness. Without much de-
| lay the competing crews appeared, the pro
vincials coming first and the Wards soon after,
and each being loudly cheered as they passed
alony the line cf the crowd. The St John
crew Was hy far the most promising looking
in point of musele and other qualities which
yo to make goud oarsmen, but when the past
achievements of the Wards was remembered,
their stock remained at par in spite of the
| Superior physical excellence of their rivals.
| Their appearance was of course the siznal for
the sporting men along the banks to sunounce
their opinions, and betting was at once lively
all through the crowd. Those who believed

the first to make a move, but they were uni-

formly cautious not to offer any odds on their
favorites, and equally shrewd to catch up any
man who offered vads on the Wards. As a
general thing, however, the betting was near-
ly even until after the race commenced. The
Ward crew was distinguished by white hand-
| kerchiefs for a head coverirg and the other
‘erew by red ones. The shell used by the
Wards was the one in which they had half a
dozen times been victorious, and was forty-six
feet and four inches in length and weighed 140
pounds. The St. John crew, made up of R.
Fulton (stroke), Elijah Ross, Samuel Hutton
and George Price, pulled iu a new buat of forty
leight feet in length, nineteen inches in width
jand weighing 150 pounds.

The competive crews pulled out upon the
| course at about a quarter to three, and the
jsigual for etarting was given five minutes later

there was uo lack of takers until after the St.
