Aug. 29 The severe drubbing which the Defender administered to the Vigilant in the second of the oßicial trial races to-day has had the ffect of considerably reviving the hopes of yachtsmen in this vicinity, which have been drooping somewhat since the syndicate boat broke down in her last race and failed to finish. It was evident that she was much improved by the substitution of a thicker stick for her old one, and she was able to carry a medium-sized club topsail through the squall which struck the two boats on the last leg. standing up as stiff and straight as need be. The Vigilant was beaten over every leg of the twenty-four-mile course, and finished la minutes and 3 seconds behind the Defender. Nearly half of this, however, was due to the fact that the wind died down to nothing just after the Defender had crossed tin- finishing line, and while the Vig
ilant was still on her way in. An additional element of interest was lent to the race by the appearance on the course of the challenger, Valkyrie. It was the first opportunity that any one has had to see the rival yachts sailing anywhere near each other and it was eagerly embraced br the enthusiasts. Yachts and tugs closed in around the Uunravcn cutter, until it seemed as though she hardly had room for sailing. Peculiar wind condition! served to make this appearance of the - . i.
Valkyrie almost ?. sensational one. She seemed to be overhauling the American yachts with ease. She was alwut a mile and a half behind them at the starting of the race. While they were drifting along in the lightest of airs. the Valkyrie crept up on them, bringing a breeze with her. Inside of an hour she had approched to within less than half a mile of the Vigilant and the faces of the spectators lengthened. Then she got Into the glassy area with the other yachts and slowed down. She continued to gain on the Vigilant, for a few minutes after she
had come into the same weather conditions. The Defender was also gaining perceptibly on the Vigilant at the same time, and the Valkyrie, not wishing to give the Americans' too good a line on her speed, put about and went back up the bay. Her fast work on tho light wind was something of a surprise, and confirmed the feeling that she will come nearer winning the famous old cup than any of her predecessors. The course decided upon for to-day's race was triangular, eight miles to a leg. The first leg was laid southeast: the second north-by-cast one-half east and the third leg west-by-south. After the race was ended the America's cup committee met and decided to hold the third trial race to-morrow at 11 a. m. from Scotland Lightship alongside.

volved an immediate loss of revenue amounting to 550,OW which was to be made good by reducing expenditures by JCVOO.OOO, by a "d tax of a penny in the pound, estimated to produce 400,000, and an income taxof sixpence in the pound, which was to brinj,' i'lOS,000. The bills embody'iiii: this scheme were carried triumphantly through the legislative assembly; but the upper house threw out the land and income tax by an overwhelming majority. Upon the issue thus raised .Mr. Heid has appealed to the country, and it is encourajritiff to hear that Mr. Heid has just defeated Sir Henry l'arkes iu Sydney, anil there is good reason to believe that he will resume otlice with an overwhelming' majority behind him.

shuts our pork out of that country, France refuses to buy our beef, or Greece prohibits the importation of our oil, are very inconsistent. They ought to know that if we declare that we will not buy of other nations wo may be sure that those countries will refuse to buy from us And according to the protectionist notions international commerce would cease, for each country would prohibit tho purchase of foreign goods. Fortunately the lossand injttrv caused by such protective

There is opposition, too, on the part of tho extreme advocates of land taxation, who thinkthat .Mr. Keid's scheme docs not go far enough, as weil as on the part of the land owners, who think it goes too far. In fact, the tax is a very moderate one, nmminihifrtnas much as 10 only in
the case of about 1,000 estates, and if
the land owners were cnllgiiteneti enough, they would consider that the value of their property would increase under free trade as it did in England. Opposition has also appeared from another quarter. The federation of the Australian colonies has for some
time engaged the attention of a number of ambitious politicians, among whom arc to be found some leading protectionists like Sir (Jeorge Dibbs. Hut It seems to be understood, and is, in fact, openly declared, that if free trade is to prevail in New South Wales, ,ni Tsnt. no end to the federation

was leariitfd that Achnn Had committed sin by transgressing the positive command of dod in relation to tho spoil., of .Jericho. The guilty one was discovered by lot. He was condemned and executed. Then, by win- u.-o of means, victory was gained nnd the conquest went on. The way was now open to proceed to Sheohem'and renew the covontmt, as Moses in his farewell address had com- ! manded them (Deut. Ü7: 1-M).
