Persecution of the Rou- mania Jews. HUNDREDS WOUNDED. Stores and Dwellings Broken Open and Robbed. WANTON DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY. The Police Encourage the Mob. Sketch of Roumania and Its Jewish Population. From the special correspondence of the Neue Freie Presse, of Vienna, bearing date June 4, we translate the following statement concerning the trac Bature of the riots at Botuschany, ip Roumania, which have aroused such iutense feeling among the Jowlsh communities In Rurope ant America:— For & considerable time past the hatred against the dows resident in this place, which has long been entertained by the common people of Boluschany,nas been culm!nating in petty outbreaks and revealing alithe symptoms of an approaching storm. The “gentlemen students” here, particularly, are the class who seom emutous of winnmg laurels by mal- ‘treating everybody and everything that is Jewish, Ro matter what. On Saturday, the 28th of May, avout half-past nine P. M., these gentry assembled in a tumnlinaous throng, and, with the ald of the rabb'e, began their “Jew hunt,” a3 they eall it, by attacking and insult- ing some harmless passers by. They next rushed, hike a pack of mad dogs let 10092, into the streets mostly tuhabited by Jews and committed wild ex- cesses. Not a window was left whole, They forced their way ito many of the houses and abused every- ‘thing that came m their way. One scene bordering on utter barbarisia was wi sessed by the writer of these lines. It took place in @ smal! dweiling where the business manager, S. T., lives with his numerous family. He was sl ting there quietly and peaceably when a furious crowd caine along and beat in his windows. In vain did the poor man beseech the rabble to spare him, reminding them that he was the father of five litile children, and, moreover, had his aged parents living With him. ‘They repited to his entreaties only with curses and derisive laughter, shouting to hiin:— “Come out here, Jew, and we'll drag you through the strects by the beard.” They chen broxe in his door with axes and beat the poor wretch and his wife #0 fearfully that the Jatter lies 11 @ bopelesa condition. Nor did they Spare the {niher (an aged manof seventy) or the poor old bearidien mother, Asda where, in the meantime, were the police Ata safe distance from the scene, saying, probabil, to themselves, “What don’t burn us we needu’t trouble ourseives to put out.” Indeed, there are Many who affirm that the police were hand in glove ‘with the rioters. In another street were some fifty or sixty Jewish young men awaikng the Moment when they, tio, should be attacked, and determined to defend them- geives aud their kindred. Several of “ine betior class’? of gentiemen ‘idents, whom I shall noi name, for they are weli kuown here as lost gators of disorder, denounced the itttle party, exclaiming: “Wh ou rascals, are you going to show fight Do you think that you are in your own country: And, at a signal whistle irom these gontlemen, the brave ii band was surrounded by a throng or about one hundred students apd strect rowdes. Yet there was no hand to hand affray, very hkely because it was easier to deal with single ‘The students bad hardiy gone away ere the young men retired to their dwellings, thinking no further mi. Ty fliteen minutes afterwards the same manauyre was repeated & had taken place in the other wtrect. Mr. Politzer’s synagogue was rudely abused, and @ smaller house of worship almost demolished, Not even the schools were spared, At last a beavy rain storm, occurring about half an hoar after midnight, put an end to the uproar, But, at eigut o'clock on Sunday morning, the dance recommenced, and it was only with the greatest aiMeulty that quiet conid be restored by seven o'clock in the evening. Many Israciites were severely wounded, and tt Is aileged that some fell victiins to the fury of the populace. Aged men and wonien and lite children were pitifully cuved and kicked in the streets and alieya, @ud even stoned.

Ir is true that the police did make a pretence of foLowmg the Jew hunters, but not oae of the latter Was arrested, although 2 number of the agents and guards greatly excecded that of the rovers. Ou the contrary, it seemed as though the police and soldiers were ilere only as much as to say, by their tardiaess, that the riolers had pleaty of time and coulda eusily draw of int another street. For, in reality, the students stormed everytntlug before them in the vanguard and the police and solders did the saine in tie rear, The pandemon'aa racket aad huzzaing of the students lasted until miduight, @s aiso chad the despairing lamentations of the defenceiess Jewish residents.

M., when the contesting yachts wil sail from Old Kinsale Head for the lightship of Sandy Hook. ‘This race, agracd upon by Mr. Ashbury after & lengthy correspondence, ts without any conditions: whatever, and such an unsatisfactory contrivance ag “time allowance” is unknown in the simple chal- lenge and acceptance, which, it will be remembered, were conducted tarough the transatlantic 'cable, As the duy has approached for the beginning of this race it has been a fruitful topic of conversa. tion among yachtmen, who, with a precise kuow- ledge of the two schooners, have drawn various con- clusions as to the result. Speculation as to the vic- tory 1s now out of place, as a few days will settle who 1s to be the wiuner of the most remerkibie ocean struggte ever entered into by two yachimen, It only remains, therefore, to point out the prob- able characteristics that will surrounil ‘to contest; the features of seumanship and navigation; the ext- gencies of wind and sea that may arise and the radi- cally different construction empodied in each of the two modelg. Of course in these qnalities Mes the success or failure of the one or the other. Speed fs the necessary attendant of wlumph, and whichever schooner succzeds in developing this quality im the highest degree, together with the trim quailty of weatherliness, will necessarily bear oT the champion trophy. Bat it should be borae in mind that speed, the Object of yacht construction the world over, depends upon conditions of design— ng, sparring, canvasing and bailasting—that are by no means settled in marine setence, If it were possible to clearly and distinctly define the exact principles upon which every feet model must 00 constructed, then, of course, all competition on the water Would be reduced to a micre question of ex- pertaess In seamauship aud good judgment or ex- perience in navigation. Fortunately for the pastime of yachting no stated rules have eyer been laid down, ana the problem of design is to-day as much unsettiod as the instability of the gold market, Itis upon this diffrence that the ocean race of Monday derives its chief interest. We in America have long foilowed 4 general aud national theory in the bullding of our hulls, which is calli “the broad beam and shallow hold” property. That is, We construct upon lines that expose a large bottom surface to the pressure of the water, which tends constantly to lift the vessel bidily upight out of the sea, and any top-heaviness—that is, any con- siderable weight aloft--acting in concert with this upward pressure, inclines to careen the vessel over to one side or the other and Jessen the quality of “stifness.”” ‘To produce another force neutralizing this dangerous propensity of buoyancy we give our hulls @ great deal of “shonlder,’’ the hips, as it were, that produce etiffacss under @ hoavy pressure of canvas, We know that with a hull embracing these general principles we can ride th 82a an’ not break through it; that we can sail on the surface and not plunge and dig and plough throug the waters. It must seem to any man, with no nautical knowledge whatever, that this Is nothing more than the primitive principle of FLOTATION. Our yachts, by this law, sit quietly and gracefully on the water and do not regnire all the complexities necessary in a desp-draught model. Then, with such a general principle triumphantly sustaimed by the America in 1851 and by the three brilliant victories of the Sappho in her recent con- tests with the Cambria, all yachcs in this country are distinctively marke:l. Only one deep-hold schooner was ever built in this country, and that was a ridiculous tailure. Added to this featare in our construction are ex- quiritely flne bows, which are received as a necessity in any fast vessel. The quarters of our yachts vary, and it 1s hardly safe at this stage of yaciting to pro- nonnce upon thetr absolute onttines or proportions, Let the reader look at one of our models, He will perceive a fine bow, which is the entering ‘edge, from which the lines swell into @ fat bilge. often concave, often fat, often convex.
