THE CRESCENT AND THE CROSS, Turks and Americans Keeping the Furth of July on the Banks of the Bosphorus. The American Colony in Turkey—Robert Col- loge—William H. Seward’s Speech—The Day We Celebrate—Blacqus Bey’s Ad- miration for Amerieans—The Fire at Seutari. CONSTANTINOPLE, July 11, 1871. ‘The celebration of the great national anniversary. had this year 4 special interest for all American citizens, It was held ina beautiful building, occu- ying one of the most noble sites on the Bosphorus, @ monument of American munificence, designed and buit by Americans, and destined to be the future home of an Amcrican institution, Bat this ‘was not all; a genial, kind-neartea old man, who has devoted the surprising energies of a long life to the service of his country, whose threescore and ten summers have nov diminished the extraordinary brightness, the redundant vitality of mis nature, ‘Who, notwithstanding that nis health 1s broken and that paralysis bas withered his hands and arms, geeks, by a voyage round the world, to gain a deeper insight mto Numanity in all its varied phases; the Hon. W. H. Seward was there to receive a welcome from the littie colony of his fellow citizens, and by bis presence to render the oecasion doubly impressive and interesting. Mr. Seward went irom his hotel to the heights of Rou- Meli Hissar, where Robert College stands, in one of the Sultan’s carnages, attended by Mr. Brown, the United States Chargé d’Affaires; Mr. Thompson, ap attaché of the Legation; Blacque Bey, the Ottoman Minister at Washington, each in their respective equpages. At Roumeli Hissar the cavalcade was joined by Mr. Armstrong, Inspector of United States Consulates, and Oscanyan Effend}, Ottoman Consul General at New York, and the distinguished guesis were welcomed at the coliege by Dr. Hamliv, the Principal, and the little army of students which e@ commands, numbering about one hundred and thuty. Other guests to the number of fifty joimed the party, which mustered to lunch in the refectory, and after ample Justice had been done to Dr, Hamlin’s hos- Pitality the worthy Princtpai, in a few singularly well chosen reinarks, welcomed and complimented Mr. Seward, spoke of the new college, his own work, paying graceful tribute to the liberal conduct of the Ottoman government in promoting the works of the new construction and to the co-operative as- sistance afforded him as well by the United States Legation as by the British Embassy under Lord Lyons and Sir Henry Elliott, He regarded the coi- lege as type of the brotherhood which should exist between America aud England, and concluded by saying:—*We have just joined hands, politically, by the treaty which has been lately signed, and which, Imay say, has consummated the policy of Mr. Seward. I trust that America and England wiil now be ‘ast friends and brothers henceforth and forever. MR. SEWARD'S SPEECH, Mr. W. H. Seward then said:— Dr. HAMLIN, FELLOW CrrizeNs—I esteem it a very fortunate as it is a very singular comeidence that I should he here receiving so cordial a welcome from so many of my American fellow citizens; that this Welcome should be extended to ine on this the anni- versary of Lue nauonal existence of our country, and that the place should be im Robert College, an American stitution of education, founded on the banks of the peautiful Bosphorus. Such a comcl- dence could certainly never have teen contemplated onany day previous to that on which I received your kind invitation to be present. If 1 nad in view bhe idea Of speaking to my countrymen or others m the voyage which I am making the idea was toescape [rom it iuatead of rushing 1ato It, even on the banks of the Bospnorus and in commemora- ton of the Fourth of July. Neverthetess, such words as may not be unbecoming I will brieily uiter. Furst, 1 express my cordial wishes for tie success of this Important Institution. I cannot express them More earnestly than by saying that t hope its future and continued and perpetual success may equal the luberality oi its Joauder, the energy of those who have mitherto built it up aud conducted 1 to its | present issue, and the expectations with which it fas filed the minds of the people in the United Staies and, i may say, the heart of the government of FUIRCY. ta sewaid LO vu SULCEAS OF Unls teotieuuuu, I do not think that tts importance is fully appre- bended even here. When 1 reached Japan and China on my Westward way around the worid [ met there various religions, some very old and some More moveru—strange, wild, INcoherent systems of theology. asked, what is the origin of this reli- gion ihat you profess? Whence dia itcomer Just a8 10 my boyhood I was always taught that all light came from the East, so when I was on the eastern shore of Asia I found that every good thing was always tracea to the West. And so I think that bistory 1s now reversing itself, and that asin the West we have borrowed our light from tae East, you have raised here a beacon light which will help to teach the wortd that henceforth light is to come irom the West and stream over the dark, bentghted Continent of Asia ana its islands. Of our country, what can 1s become me to say? You, Dr. Hamlin, have commemorated, in your brief and Deautiful speech, everything that the occasion sug: You have congratulated us on the fact that our differences have been amicably sctled wita a great nation from which We derive our origin and with which we are united and combined in so ¥ Ways in extending civil and religious liberty troughont the world. 1 wili add but one observa- tion to that, namely, that as at the beginning of our Jate civil war, when the United States were yet a siaveholuing nation, we iia no sincere nd fast friends througheut we whole world, goat the close of that civil war we had only one alienation With any nadon in the world, and that was with tne British nation, That, God be thanked ! 1s Happily removed at iast. 1 am nearly two-tuirds ima Voyage round the globe, I have not as yet lound a people who are not the friends of the United States, and I have yet to Oud im the rest of my journey the people or government ‘wiuch 18 hostile, if there be unc. But it has been pe) well suggesied In modern umes that modesty and moderation become us in ceiebrating our anni versary more than eXuitation; and in that spirit I Will say that we have great reason for continued Shauktulness to God that we have preserved what are the essentiais of our national existence. As at is troe in the case of midividual man that his health consisis in mens sana in corpore sano—a sound miud in a healthy body—so 1 is equally true Of nations that without a perfect and compiete or- izacion ley Cannot exist, and that that organt- gadon Will fall into destruction if it be not animated and kept in being by a sound and healthy spirit. Our political trame has been racked and tortured, but it has come out of the trial sounder and stronger than ever, and enlarged in all its proportions. Let Ua be thankful to iim who tuspires the hearts of men with yood counsels that the soul which ant- mates it—which 1s the principle of the equality of the numan race and their at to govern them- gselves—has been also preserved intact, and that not only has it beea preserved iatact bu’ that the con- stitution of the United States has been bronghi nearer and nearer to the sublime principle of eternal yastice ana human equality, The honorable genteman’s specch was listened to with the profounuest attention, and both on rising and sitting down he was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, BLACQUE BEY’S REMARKS. His Excellency Biacque Bey thought that the “noble building, which had been raised up as if by magic on those beautiful hills, was indicative or the good will existing between the two countries.” He ‘was rejoiced ut having been adie to contribute to its success; but the real merit of his having done so Tested with his august master, the Sultan. “I should like to say what I think of the great country to Which | am about to return, but Lam ander the in- Muence of the Uriental precept which says that if fh has the value of silver, silence has that of gold.” Blacque sey proposed a wast to the frate r- mal union of Aimerica and Turkey. MR. BROWN'S SPEECH. Mr. J. P. Brown expressed the warm Interest he felt im the kobert College, and remarked that the presence of so eminent a statesman and patriot was & bright augury on this the opealng of the first page of the oficial history of the institution. ‘Many thanks,” he added, 1m conclusion, ‘are due to Mr. Seward that none of the stars on our fag nave left it; on the contrary, that many olhers have since been added to it, and tat It jloats over our heads w-day on the banks of the Bosphorus with m- creased brigatness and Justre.”” APTER TRE PARTIES Tose from table Mr. Seward received the American colors in an adjoining apartment, as they were Dresented to him by the reverend /’Tincipal of the College. Yesterday the honorable gentleman bad au audience of the Sultan, and he wili, perhaps leave to-day, or at latest on Friday next, jomewar ound, by way of Vienna, faris and London.

Terrible Sacrifice of Human Life Outside the Walls of Paris, The City Shaken—The Wildest Excitement Among the Inhabitants—The Scene of Disaster— What a Herald Correspondent Learned on the Spot. Paris, July 14, 1871, At haif-past one o’clock this afternoon there was @ terrible concussion, that shook all Paris, It wasa repetition of the same sound that terrified the town on the eventful evening of the cartridge factory ex- plosion in the Champa de Mars. I immediately took @ carriage and moved toward Vincennes, whence the sound proceeded. On arriving at the Porte de Vincennes there was no means of egress. Vast crowds blocked all the avenues to the exterior of | Paris, and great EXCITEMENT REIGNED IN EVERY QUARTER, The most exaggerated reports were afloat; and seemingly to confirm them men came running toward the fortifications bearing pleces of shelis, hot and of large dimensions, Wounded were being brought into the town; carriages, seeking to get out, were forbidden the highway, and great confu- sion was apparent even among the guardians of the ramparts, At last Isuccceded in getting out bya gate nearer Charenton, and then drove rapidly toward the Bois de Vincennes. A DREADFUL SIGHT. Evidences of the vast injury done were apparent on every hand. Houses were mutilated by projeo ules, windows broken and chimneys had fallen, Penctrating the Bois I beheld vast numbers of spec- tators who had crowded about the destroyed car- toucherie, It now lay in a heap. of ruins, THE SCENE OF THE DISASTER lsafew hundred feet to southward of the great square fortof Vincennes, and was the magazine and shell and ammunition depository of gre citadel, with which it was connected by a bombproor conduit, Icoaid observe nothing but a mass of smoking, molten dépris, and every instant as I stood surveying the speciacie there was a shell bursting and A THOUSAND CARTRIDGES FXPLODING asin battle. A wide circumference was kept all around the rulp, and the guards kept back the crowds and allowed no one to approach the danger- ous depository, mingled as if was with burstin, shell, exploding casks of powder, and the dea bodies of at least five hundred victims. ‘Tne suffer- ings must have been terrible, though of course in the majority of cases DEATH WAS INSTANTANEOUS. A few, however, escaped alter the first explosion, and were attended to by the ambulances. But hun- dreds, it is supposed, were lying at the very moment I was there, suffering from iright(ul wounds, and yet no relief could be offered, though thousands were ready to afford it. it will NEVER BE KNOWN HOW MANY SUFFERED and died horribly, lingering through prolonged suf- fering until despatched vy one of the olt recurring éclats @obus, Stull no cries could be heard, no suf- ferers could be seen. The crackling of cartridges and the bursting of shells drowned all other sounds, and a heavy, dense smoke held itself over the fated acre of death, Such a scene has NO PARALLEL, A beautiful, warm sunny day, jn one of the most charming woods In the world, but people dying Within 100 yardsof you and you cannot succor them, 1 found many stories afloat as to the cause of the disaster, but at this writing nothing 1s Known. Some say that 800 were killed; others that 500 women alone perished, and again, that the iactory con- tained few workmen. As 1 left, at five P. M., SHELLS WBRE STILL BURSTING, and the murderous fragments were flying all over ‘Vincennes, entering cafés, hotels and private houses, and a constant battle was going on. I entered seve- ral houses aud found furniture smasbed and ruined heaps of broken glass. It may be midnight before the 1,000,000 cartridges and 6,000 shells yet sup- posed unexploded shall have been burned to use- Jessness. This new calamity has spread great terror throughout Parts, causing the feeling that this suffer- ing city 1s not vet through her warlike trials. HORSE NOTES.

The following reference to Mr. Asbbury’s as- sumed right of sailing eight or more matches, one directly after tie other, for the Queen’s Cup, by virtue of mis holding such number of certificates from various Engiish clubs, 1s taken from the July number of the London Nautical Magazine:— We have already referred to the satisfactory setiiemment of the diilleulty between Mr. Ashbury and the New York Yacht Club, whereby that gene- man hes been enabled to seriously enter into arrangements for satiing & match or matches with a vessel or vessels selected by the above body for ine by the Ameria. (since we have such yers to ‘sign articies’’ it is nec of phrase.) Well, the matter has ly and oificially at a meeting of cht Club as follows:—“Whereas, ab a@ meeting held March 24, 1870, the New York Yacht Club acted according to thetr imverpretation of the letter of trust devoting the America’s cup to the care of the Club; and Whereas, Mr. G. L. schuyler, the sole survivor of the donors, published the origt- nal letter Of trast, and fully expressed the view of the donors thereol, be It therefore resolyed—Tnat the New York Yacht Club hereby accept Mr. Schayler’s interpretation of the deed of trust, and that we will sail one or more representative vessels against the same number of Jorn challenging vessels. The words which we have itailcised express the con- dition which Mr. Ashbury so perseveringly, and for a 1ong time fraitlessly, contenued for. It is incum- benton the New York Club to find one vessel to pit_against the Livonia, and one only. The Americans, uat! Mr. Scnayier silenced them, held that Mr. Ashbury was bound to win tne cap from a fleet of yachts, because In 1851 the America herself nad won the trophy from an English fleet. Allalong we have been with Mr."Ashbury, but with regard to & point Which he raised in a speech which he delivered (was it after dinner?) we are compelied by a sunpte reverence for what appears to us to be common justice to take an opposite view. Ie afirms that by virtue of his holding eight certtii- cates from that number of clubs he is entitied to sail eight matches for the cup right away. We crow not. Mr. Ashbury is the first challenger under the new regulations, and In tne event of his being de- feated he is bound by the laws affecting such mat- ters to make way for somebody else. Should there be no challenger forthcoming at the termination of the period assigned by the conditions for patting the prize up for competition—in this case six months— then possibly the fact of his hoiding ocher certin- cates would entitie him to another eifort. The ab- surdity of Mr. Ashbury’s new claim is so palpable we are disposed to think that he made it either under the influence of th’ complimentary speech which had been made by the patriotic yachtsinan who proposed his health, or else without giving the matter a moment’s thought. Supposing the Amert- cans granted the clatin and the Livonta were beaten in eight consecutive matches, does Mr. Ashbury imagiue that six months alter the eighth he would be eligible to begin again de novo? It may not have occurred to him that it is within the bounds of pro- babulity that there are other yachtsmen who, stima- lated by hts patriotic example, would like to have “a shy’ at the Yaakees on their own account. There are more yachts in the British fleet than the Livonia, and indeed it ts believed by very competent authorities that at least two or three of those are better calculated than Ratsey’s “experiment” to re- store the America’s cup to England. However, Mr. Ashbury will doubtless think better of it, He has cup won shrewd sea | sary to be pre beén stated form: the New York ¥ no occasion to fight against windmills, The match between England and America—that 1s to say, be- tween the Livunta and a yacht selected by the New York Club—will afford him suiticlent occupasion of mind between this and the time of its consumma- tion, which will either be in the antamn of the pre- sent year or the spring of next.

FREE BRIDGES IN JERSEY. an the | scerved sium in St. Mark’s place, but it has also leased thirty lots on the Harlem River, near the Third avenue bridge, and laid them out a8 a course for foot races and as grounds for other outdoor games, On the river are the boat houses, which are well stocked. A foot race for the cnamptonship of the club took place yesterday. The contestants were F. J. Hynes and M. E. Burris. The distance was half a mule, three times over the course. Both the con- testants were attired in red dress, and looked frest and confident. Burris, however, seemed the surong- er, He ts tall and finely formed. Hynes is smaller in stature. The medal, which 1s gold, was won by | him in last May, over che same distance, in 2:20. The conditions attached to It, as to} all the champion medals of the club, are | that it shall be held for two years by the winner, subject wo the challenge of any other member. It Is at length given to the one who has successfully held it against all comers for the prescribed time, The race yesterday was not very interesting. For the first two rounds Hynes took the lead. His gatt, however, did not seem so easy or so natural as that of Burris, who at the last round came to the front. When half way around he distanced Hynes py fifty feet, and on the homestretch trotted in 100 feet ahead witnout effort. The result caused the loss of considerable money among the friends of Hynes, who was the favorite, The ume made was 2:15%, un advance of four and a quarter seconds over that of the last race.

DOCTOR CUTTER’S CASE. The Newark Doctors Undoing What Did. The case of Dr. James B, Cutter, the Newark sur- geon who, at the last termof the Essex County Court, plead guilty to having produced an avortion on the person of a poor, friendiess servant irl, named Maria Clark, who had been wronged by one Leroy H. Wright, has again been brought before the public by the Essex County Medical Society, Cut, ter’s case, it will be remembered, excited a great deal of attention not only in New Jersey, but in New York and Brooklyn, where he was wellknown, This was owing to THE PECULIAR CIRCUMSTANCES surrounding the crime and its commission. It was proven to lack all the elements of mercenary crime, and several of the most eminent professional men of the metropolia unhesitatingly came forward, and They had only committed a crime technically; in reaiity, considering the peculiar nature of the case. Its com- | mission, they urged, Was almost commendabie. It had been broadly asserted previous to the Court proceedings that Cutter was, in a large degree, the VICTIM OF PROFESSIONAL JEALOUSY. When called npon to sign a petition for a mitiga- tion of nis sentence they, with one or two excep- tions, readily responded. Then it was sarcastically asked, “Where Is the professional jealousy?” Oa Society was held ana the Doctor EXPELLED as being unfit to professionally associate with men who have not been even accused of the erlme Cut- ter pieaded guiity to. consideration for months past and it was expected that the Doctor’s brethren would emulate the course pursued by the Court and their own previous conduct by extending the hand of charity to we repentant sinner and saying, AS DID CHRIST, “Go and sin no more!" they have not, the ques- tion ts now asked in, “Where is the projessinnal spleen, if not jealousy!” Ibis a singular fact that publi sym athy is entirely with the Doctor, who de- clares that he will not be driven out of Newar come Witt Wil.
