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 s:oull lots, so that tenants may have a chance ol buying. Few of them, howe: er, are in a eondition to do so. The Slanderd adds :-- ‘The nistory of the County De ry Estate is briefly the following: About two hundred years ago an ancestor of the Marquis of Wuter- ford bought the property in question from the Haberdashers’ Company of London for a sum ainounting to £1,250, or thereabouts, and now it produces a rental of about £14,000 a-vear !

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 of Laverpool,

like thatof all England, bas but one feeling of

friendship towards the United States. When I remember the war through which our Govern-

THE INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE Tatest 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 Soth crews arrived here

The erowds who came to the city yesterday | and 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 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.

FROM NEWFOUNDLAND.

Hatirax, Nov. 2.

The R. M. Steamer City of Durham arrived here yesterday about noon-day, from St. John’s, N. F.

The weather during the middle of October had been severe and inclement.

Judge Hayward in his address to the Grand Jury on the opening of the Central Court, re- marked :—

“It is a matter of regret that the people generally are not better cireumstanced than we all know them to be at present, in a country abounding with such wealth by sea and land; but it must be manifest to all that the absence

of remunerative employment for the working |

Nwarly ail were | fortitied with umbrellas, however, and the un- | fortunate ones who were not preferred a drench- ing rather than miss the struggle which they | were So 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 jachievernents 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 }inan 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 crew 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.
