NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, 1871.—T EGYPT AND AMERICA. American Army Officers in the Service of Egypt. ‘Who They Are and What Have Zeen Their Per- formances in the Fast—Union and Con- federate Soldiers Fighting Un- der the Same Flag. . Cairo, July 15, 1871. ‘Tat Ismail Pacha, the present Khedive of Egypt, 4s one of the most astute sovereigns of the present @ayno one will deny who has had an opportunity of comparing him with his contemporary rulers nor ear there be any doubt that he leads the vanguard of progress throughout the great Mohammedan | Wwerld, which yet numbers more than two hundred millions of souls. Soon after Ismail’s accession to she viceregal throne of Egypt he saw the danger of permitting his army and navy to be moulded and controlled by European officers, whose loyalty wis primarily due to governments at any moment Hable to become hostile to his own; to governments which would, without the slightest scruple, subject the whele Ottoman empire to the fate of Poland and partition it ons among themselves if they could only agree upon the division of the spoll; hence he wiscly determined to rid himseifof tie many European oMicers in bis service, honorable men, doubtiess, but men whose loyaity to himself was naturally subor- @inate to that due their own nationalities. ‘the termination of the great civil war in America gave the Khedive an opportunity to carry this de- termination into effect. The war made a nation of eoldiers, and when tt ended thousands of officers of every grade and arm of military service, who had proved their capacity upon many a well-stricken without resources at home, were eager tO offer their Swords to any government not hostile to their own, ‘Then it was thav agents were sent to America to engage these disbanded officers for the army and mavy of Egspt. Twenty were commissioned, and many more would have been selected had not Eng- Jand interposed, Her undying jealousy of the great Tepublic was aroused, and under peremptory orders trom the Divan at Constantinopi@ prompted by the British Minister there, turther enlistments ceased. The truth 1s, the presence of American officers in the Egyptian army might seriously interfere with the grasping designs of Great Britain. Egypt is on the highway to India, and is the only hnk wanting tm the chain of military posts between Gibraltar, Maita and Aden, and the Suez Canal flows through Bgyptian soil.

Large and Fashionable Attendance, Pine Weather and Good Track, Bodine the Winner of the 2:38 Purse, Castle Boy tho ‘Three-Minute Race, and Judge Fullerton the 2:25 Purse. ‘There were five thousand persons at Fleetwood Park yesterday to witness the trotting events there set down for decision, A more pleasant picture than te grana stand, club house and surrounding bluf’s presented at four o’clock 18 rarely met with in this vicinity. iundreds of car. riages were in the field, and every nook and corner of the many sheds was occupied by road Wagons, whose occupants nad enjoyed an exquisite drive through the Park and along Harlem lane to the scene of interest. The lauies, more conspicuously than on any other day of the autumn meeting, wore rich and costly toilets, ana it is a question if the beauty of these lovely lookers-on of the tests to which man’s useful ant mals were subjected conld be excelled in the multitudes of fair women that make Saratoga and Jerome Park at a racing meeting events long to be remembered. On the balcony of the club house the families of many prominent citizens were no- ticed, and these were enthusiastic in the extreme over the spirited contests of the day. Commodore Vanderbilt and Robert Bonner were each the centre of a large throng, and none of the thousands pres- ent exhibited greater interest than they, There was more than the usual excitement among the betting fraternity, and Jake Somerindyke, the veteran seller, had as much business as he could conveniently attend to, It seemed that the buyers, orrather the majority of them, had been unfortu- nate m their speculations the first and secoud cays of the meeting, and were desirous of geting “square” by risking their money at long odds, Itia @ question whether the iron fence which the Fleetwood Associaton recenily caused to be put np, dividing the grounds between the grand stand and vie viuy house, 14 as much @ succcss ag desired.

The sports of the day commenced with the un- finished trot of Tuesday, which was between Mr. Goldsmith's bay gelding Bodine, A. Patterson’s chestnut mare Belle of Oneida, J. Splan’s brown mare Constance, L. Morris’ bay mare Nettie Morris and H. J. Doremus’ chestnut gelding Joe. It willbe remembered that Joe was distanced on Tuesday, and that Bodine won two heats, and, by casting & shoe in the third heat, Belle of Oneida landed even with him under the wire, makipg a dead heat, The race was then postponed on account of darkness, ‘The following day being rainy the race had to go over tp yesterday, When Bodine won the race, Net- Ne Morris having been withdrawn.

He broke up badly im the first heat, and Castle Boy won ton’sdld Th the pdols still for over 2 to 1 over the deld. He won the secoud and third heais, and dollars to dimes were offered on him without takers, On the fourti heat he quit badly after going a little over half a mile, and was beaten eighty yards by Castle Boy. Then Dan Mace was tduceéd to take him in hand by the layers ef the lony odds, but Dan could not make him last a mile out, and Castle Boy won the race, The third event of the day was for the 2:26 purse, which closed with three entries. These were Mr, Homphrey’s chestnut gelding Judge Fullerton, Joun Murphy's bay gelding J, J. Bradicy ana Thomas Carpenter's black stallion Thomas Jefferson. "The latter did not start on account of lameness. Judge Fullerton was a great favorite before the start, four and five to one being laid in many instances on his winning.

THE TREASURY SELLS SIX MILLIONS, Gold Declines from 114 3-4 to 113 7-8, but Rallies to 114 1-2. Terrifle Combat Between the Bulls” and ‘Bears”—The “Balls” Beat the Treasury and the Syndicate. An extraordinary complication in the current speculation in the gold market was developed yesterday. Mr, Boutwell endeavored to smash the gold clique by seiling tt six millions of gold, or two millions more than was suMicient to “break” tha famous Gould-Fisk “corner” of 1869; but the clique absorbed the gold at a trifing deciine, and then advanced the market above the price which Mr. Boutwell obtained for his gold, in 1869 the sale of four millions occasloned a decline of 35 per cent the same day, Yesterday the sale of six millions of gold affected the market less than % per cent. The amount advertised to be sold was only two millions, and the bids Gled asked for $3,895,000, HISTORY OF THE CLIQUES. ; The combinations which have been tn existence on the stveet for the past two months are two in number and haye been organized for two different purposes. A clijue has been formed with the ob- ject of locking up greenbacks and thereby making money tight, 80 as to influence the stock market om the bear side, This clique joined hands with & clique tn gold whose object was to lock up all the cash coin, thereby advancing che premium and compelling borrowers to pay usurious rates for he use of gold, The bear clique in stocks hoped, b¥ Keeping up the squeeze on the market, to induce the Secretary of the Treasury to sell at least four millions of gold yesterday, and thereby withdraw, from the banks that amount of greenbacks, woich, would assist the money squeeze next week. THIS WAS THB PLAN, i and both cliques worked carneatly for its accome piishment, On Wednesday the Secretary parually defeated the scheme of the bear clique in stocks by purchasing three millions of bonds; tuen by putting that amount of legal tender notes into be_ banks in payment for them. Yesterday the excites ment in the Goid Room was intense ali the morning; for the operators concluded that the Secretary in~ tended to sell a larger amount of gold than he had advertised to do, and the great mumoer of tueun went “SHORT” OF THE MARKET; / so that by noon at least four millions was dise counted in the room. ‘The bull clique was there, prepared for the emergency, At noon fifty bids,, amounting in the aggregate to about $9,000,000, Were opened by the Adsistant Treasurer, ‘and when it was secn that the average bida were below the market price, tne bulls as< sumed that the Secretary would not sell more than $4,000,000, 1f he did that, and therefore bid the price up to 1143. About half-past one o'clock there were collected in the Sub-Treasury @ large throng of operaiors anxiously awaiting the announcement of the awards, Saddenly the room was cleared by the PROCLAMATION FROM MR, WHIT! ¢ the cashier, that we Secretary would accep! $6,000,000, and a grand rash was made for the Gold Room, whuch at once pecame the scene ol the most tremendous excitement, almost equalling that of Black Friday in 1869. ‘The most timid of the bala were anxious to sell, and lote ranging trom 7 to $500,000 were offered and taken in @ twinkiing.’ Everybody seemed to be selling and but lew wera buying, and in consequence THK PRICE DROPPED in less than five minutes to 113%, and thereafter fluctuated wildly between that price and 114%. Changes were so rapid that the registrar coud arcely record them, and was obliged to obtain assistance while he manipulated the keys of the telegraph, One moment the price would be up and another it would iall, and for the space of almost fifteen minutes the fluctuations averaged ten pel minute, The centre of the room wes packed with a mass of brokers, each one ers hitaself hoarse and seoking to make himself heard above the din,’ Some leaped upon the railing of the ring, and, witty both hands raised, sought 10 make themselves sd prominent that their offers would be heeded, and all were most frantic In their gesticulauions. Bit the principal leaders of THE “BULL? MOVEMENT STOOD FIRMLY , at their posts, and bid for large blocks at 1) below the market, aud (Ook Immense sums—one, It was said, loading np }4,(00.060 of the gold thrown over by alsovwr aged OPOTalors, Meu who bad bought an hour before for 114% sora ‘at Lid and retired satisfied, but, giving a giance at the Indicator as they were going out, would revara to the contest, and, finding that the price had ad- vanced to 1l4'g, Would buy agata. In this way the excitement continued ail the afternoon, and by the time the market Was closed the price tad reached to 114g bid, and was considered strong at that, ) Tnere were Various rumors about the street dur- ing the late hours of the alternoon regarding Sec- retary Boutwell’s iutentions, Que was that ne Would accept THE BONDS OF 1862, in payment of the stx mililions gold sold by him yous! terday, and thus circumvent the scheuies of tha bears in stocks, who were understooil to contem~ plate a sque in money to-day, Another statement Was that the Secretary was all the time during tha reading of the bids quiedy sitting in the Assistant ‘Treasurer's room, aud thereafter consulted with him respecting the amount which should be awarded, It was ascertained, however, that i" THE SECRETARY WAS NOT IN TOWN 4 or within reach of the telegraph lerday after. noon, and it was said that Assistant Treasurer Hili- house acted on insiructons recetved by mail yesters, day morning, giving hum discretionary power.
