FRIDAY MOW.(IG, BEPTEIBER 9, 189. THE LASBT REGATTA el. Barnea, the proprietor of the aeb Ive hotel at the sea-shore suborb, Misolesippi fty, havying given publio notice that a ailing match, l conform Ity to the rules of ther Southern latch"tlib, would take place from his wharf on thethlIntesta, drew a large concourse of citizens, with severi fle boats, to contend for the prizes. Among thebeata wblebwere entered as the first-class were the renowned, Elephant and Adeonoa, with the modest and unpretending Carrie. For the second pizne, and coming nder the second class, were five beats, vi,: the P: T. Minor, Teaser, DeRlviere, Tornado and Capitols. The two latter boats were from Mfbile. These were other yatchs present, among which were the great Gipsy, Cas. Robinson, who, as usal, on sash, occaseis, composes a good share of body and soll of these pleasing aquatic amuaements;:also, the Witchesaft oand the Sarah Davis. About 2'o'clock the signal far starting was made. They all departed with a fee breeze, (though not a mackereelreene) akdeontitaue to progres finely until the paeslng of the secoad stake boat, when a slight squall sprona up, during which the Elephant and Adeona both copeised This was about the best Joke of the season that has e. curred at the several sea.shome resorts or at the different assemblies of yatching. Fortunately no one was drowned out of the tea peisons comprising the compantes or navigators of the two boats. The SBasa Davis being at band, saved the two yatcke, and the respective crews were relieved by the erew of the Gipsy, with the aid and assislane-of the good fellows of the Mobile boat Capitola. The prize for the firt.oiase boats was taken by the Carrie, Com. Logan. The prise foa the second-cliss was awarded to the T. P. Minor. There has been no regatta or sailng match on the Gulf shore which has been more numerously attended or went off with greater satlslfetio than the one now under remark. The pleasrnes and festivities .f the day were closed by a ball and uper given by the proprietor of the hotel. A full and detailed account of the day's amusements was forwarded for publica. tion, but it has miscarried, not having reached as up to last evening. TALK ON 'OHANGE. The gatherings yesterday on Carondelet street pere few and far between. Most of the habitues of this street and environs are absent; some in Europe, others In Northern States,many enjoying themselves at the various sea-shore resorts on the lakes and Gulf shore; others are traveling through the interior, calling on their respective patrons, and taking a short hob-nobbing with them. Comparison is often attended with pleasure, as it is at this time. A year ago when we met on the flags the talk was, what of the fever, how many eases today, what are the re ports to the Board of Health? It is hardly necessary to remark that such inquiries are entirely out of place at this time; nevertheless, with the remarkable high condition of the health of our city, the business transactions for yesterday, say in cotton, were below the corresponding day of last year. Up to last even ing the receipts of cotton snlce the first of this month were 24,927 bales against 10,157 bales for the corres ponding time last year. This may be conosidered a very good soart for the commercial year of 1859-'60. The talk was of the excess of receipts at the Florida ports, which appear to havr reached 164,245 bales, adding to the quantity heretofore received, according to our figures, seven thousand seven hundred and fif. teen bales. We are now from all figures before us approximating 3,850,000 bales as the total receipts at all the seaports, and the reserves still to be brought in. It is not probable that our reserves will be al lowed to figure, according to the rules established, which allows New York statements to control the re ceipts. It was the received opinion that our cotem. porary,the New Orleans Price Current, would assume the statement as of right to emanate from this city. The European mails by the Africa were received yesterday. The private correspondence indicates lower figarea for cotton. There is a large quantity of sandy, leafy and otherwise trashy cotton in Liverpool, which is wholly unsaleable. The Manchester advices do not encourage the belief that the demand for the India market for fabrics will be sustained for any length of time. Possibly the spinners are holding back to obtain lower prices. The consignees of a large part of the cotton landed in Liverpool, we learn, are weak, and many not capable of holding from one day to another. In all probability we may hear of the slaughtering process. There is considerable talk about the sandy and trashy cotton; that the quantity in Liverpool is larger than ever before. We shall publish some reo marks on this point in our next, which will, we hope, convince planters to pay more regard to quality than to push for quantity, or to allow overseers of one plantation to exult over their neighbors in the num ber of bales picked, ginned and baled. The increase of sandy cotton has been very great within the past ten years, and the evil is Increasing every year. It is about time it was checked; though it is none of our bueiness what a planter may pack and send to market for cotton, yet we deem it imperative to call the attention of cultivators to the very essential im portance of regarding quality as well as quantity. The mails by all routes are at sixes and sevens ; with two routes, it is almost impossible to receive papers daily from Northern cities. The next advices from Europe will probably be the Europa of the 27th ult., now fully due at Halifax and Boston. Cons AND BoTrs.-H owell iCobb was serenaded at the St. Nicholas Hotel in New York, on the evening of the Ist inst. John M. Botts received a similar compliment at the Astor House. He also received a visit and complimentary address from the Whig Gen eral Committee, and made a speech in reply, devel. oping his plan for the organization of the Whig party. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION.-On the night of the 2d inst.a boiler in a building occupied as a pattern shop and iron shatter factory, on Georck street, New York, exploded, destroying the building and killing a man named James Shaw. Several other persons were severely injured. MASoACHnSETrT POLITICS.-A large meeting of the National Americans of Boston was held at Inde pendence Hall, on the evening of the let inst., when it was determined to issue a call for a State Conven tion, to assemble in October, to nominate a Governor and other State officers. A series of resolutions were offered to the effect that the National Americans would unite with their brethren in the South in the next Presidential election against the Democratic and Republican parties. On account of the lateness of the hour the resolutions were laid on the table un til Friday, the 13th inst. FRou MADEIRA.-The U. S. frigate Cumberland left at Madeira on August 8th, the frigate Constella tion, preparing to leave for Africa in two days. The ship Protector, fromLondon for Aden, touched at Madeira on the 2d, the Captain, Mr. Crocker, hav ing been stabbed by a negro sailor. He was attended by the surgeon of the Cumberland and recovered suf. iclently to proceed on his voyage. The negro who stabbed him was brought home in the Cumberland.

Marie Bordett was yesterday arraigned on a charge of havig given Louise Thom fino a most unmerciful cow hiding, at S o'clock yesterday morniug, in her own rmsidence, at the corner of Orleans and Borgundy otreets. It appeared that rM. H., not being honored with tht return of her lord to the matrimonial do. midl on Wednesday night, had hot suspicioen, went in search of him in the morning, fond that he had losint his way home and tken refuge in the bo pitoble mamioun of Elme Thomnssin, gut a cowhide, went back, invaded the premises, and feeling sate she was right, went ahead with her cowhide on the fair corpus of the landlady.

Fleitas was yes terday examined on the charge of having taken a day's sport with his gun among the cattle of Eman. ueT Perraudat, at the internection of the Pontohar. train Railroad and the Gentily road, (half way to the lake) on the 28d nit., mallociosaly shooting and killing six and wounding fifteen or twenty more, and afterward threatening to shoot Perrandat as he had shot his cattle. Perrandat estimated the damage to his herd, in killed and wounded, at $400. The aikir was certainly an unusual one. This was Perrandat's testimony : "I live on the Hopkins Plantation, at the crossing of the Gentilly road and the Pontohartrain Railroad. r. Fleias came to me and said, 'you moat come and drive away your cattle that are on my planta; tion.' I went there that day, with two of my em boaye I drove out some of them, but I could not rlve them allont. Fleitas then said,'I will be hero with my gun, and I will shoot all the cattle I find here ts the morning.' I said, 'don't shoot them, if yon please, but give me time to drive them all out.' I told him also, that if he was willing to pay for half the faem, It would keep my cattle from going on his plantation. He said, no; It was not his busines, for those who owned cattle could keep them on their own property ; and that as long as he found cattle on his plantatlon, he woud shootthem. I was after. ward informed that he had shot some of them ; he killed six and wounded from fifteen to twenty this I knew by informatlon received. Pleitas hmself said that he bad killed and wounded some of the cattle. The place where my cattle were shot in in the suburbe of New Orleans. I know that they were killed on Fleitas' plantatlion, hut not wherse the grouand was plowed ap.". wouphlog Fleita' threat to shoot him, PIerra.dat testified nothing, that informailon having eometo him second-hended. The Recorder, properl Jaludging that in had a right to keep a plantason un-nenesd within the ity uhburbe, and considering.that the dairyms,. who chiefly reside on the Gentilly Ridge, moat have meom place for their cows to gmes, being excluded by the pound ordinance from coming oer a certain line in the suhurbh, defleed by that ordinasce, deoided Mc.
