Ail the Ministers converse in French, and the Grand Vizier is @ most accomplished French scholar, that Jan- guage being constantly spoken at the Court of Persia, ‘The easily-obtained audiences granted to foreign- ers and the affable manper in which they are re- ceived by His Majesty must have convinced many Englishmen who do not speak French that His Majesty knew more than three English, Russian or Itailan words, The Shah of Persia could serve as an example of courtesy and dignified affability to many Western Sovereigns, and Europeans must not think that a barbarous, unpoiished and ill-clad Asiatic chef is coming among them.

Aspecial meeting of the National Rife Associ- ation was held at 194 Broadway on Wednesday, Colonel Church presiding. The Range Committee reported that the range wasjnow substantially com- plete and was in daily use; that the Commissary General had loaned tents for use during the match, which had been erected upon the ground, together with a number of canvas shelters, &c. He had also supplied ammunition, which would be issued to the “teams” for practice upon the day of the match without charge. General Abbott, commanding the United States engineers at Willett’s Point, has Permitted a detachment of his regulars to act as markers, the association paying them for their services and permitting a “team’’ from the engineers to compete. The Secretary re. ported that he had that morning received the letter from Colonel Clark, of the Seventh, previously pub” lished in Wednesday's papers, the matter of an- swering which was left to the President. It was announced that Governor} Dix, and probably the President, Generals Sherman, Belknap and others ‘would be present at the opening. General Shaler has ordered a battery of four pieces and 100 men from the Ninth and Twenty-second regiments (with side arms only) wo attend. The following is @list of the regiments who have so far entered teams for the match ‘inth, Eleventh, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, Nineteenth (Newburg), Twenty- second, ‘'wenty-third, Thirty-second, Seventy-first and Seventy-Ninth; New York, First, Second and Ninth; New Jersey, United States Engineers. The following is a letter from W. ©. Church, Pres- ident of the National Rifle Association, in auswer to that of Celonel Emmons Clark, of the Seventh regiment :— PRESIDENT CHURCH’S LETTER. Sra—In a letter published this morning Colonel Emmons Clark, commanding the Seventh regiment N. G. S. N. ¥.. urges some objections to engaging in the coatests for prizes at the iuauguration of the range at Creedmoor on Saturday next. Tlis first objection is to the effect that such contests will lead to a neglect of “business pursuits.” But does it not occur to Colonel Clark that this argument sirikes atthe very root ot our whole militia system, and necessi- tates the disbandonment of the organization which, under his command, is becoming more than ever the pride of New York? And how happens it that the Seventh can find time for at least five street arades in us many weeks, as it has since the Ist of jay, and cannot spare even’ one day to gratity the thou. sands we shall have at Creedmoor with the proof that it iy as proficient in that most essential part of military training—geod shooting—as it Is undeniably proficieat in arill and discipline? The second objection, that the development ot interest in rifle shooting will to the neglect of other essential military duces, is one that shall not stop to argue with @ soldier, It is for Colonet Clark and the oficersof his regiment to see that this is not the result, and I have much too high a respect for the discipline of ‘the Seventh and the pride of its men in their well-carned reputation to believe that we need tear any neglect of other mili- tary duties because the Seventh lends to this most hope- ful ‘and successful movement for encouraging rifle prac- tice the aid of its example, The objections which Colonel Clark urges to the offer of prizes as a stimulus to ambition raises so large a ques- tion that must be excused trom attempting to settle it before the opening of the range on Saturday. Much more than rifle practice is involved in the argument. It touches, indeed, all the interests of that organized selils! ness which we call society. For at least nineteen centi ries the appeal to motives higher than individual inte: est has struggled with human weakness with such sorry result that we are hardly justified in postpening the open- ing of Creedmoor until the contest is settled, I honor Colonel Clarke tor his recognition of such high prinei- pies, and I regret that I have uo better argument Yo offer in reply than the argument of necessity. The National Rifle Assvciation has simply followed in this particular the example of similar organizations the ‘world over, and we must postpoue the reform ; some future date; at the same time I see nothing inher- ently wrong in the appeal which our association makes to the spirit of ambition, even though, by it “the angels tell.” Jf ambition takes too strong a hola on some na- tures T tail to see that we are inuny way more responsi- ble for this than we are for the attraction of gravitation. Tn conclusion, allow me to say that the National Ride Association does not wish to put itselt in the position of urging any one to share its privileges. It hax established @ grand practice ground within easy reach of the city, the vantages of which it freely offers to all who will avail themselves of them. Tts object, and its only object, is to encourage a legitimate interest 'in the subject—most im- portant in a military sense—of rifle practice; not, how- ever, to the neglect of other branches of military training | oF to, the interference with | those "per- sonal duties which each one, it would seem, can be safely trusted to see to for himself. That it has already had its effect Colonel Clark cordially testi- fles, and 11, in his opinion or in the opinion of any others, Proiiciency in rifle practice better attained else: where than at Creedmoor, this association, they may be sure, will have no dispute with them on that score. It offers its privileg 11; and as the law, the passage of which was procured by the oificers of the association, absolutely prohibits these officers from obtaining any per: roposed to 4 sonal emoluments whatever from their positions, they have none other than a public interest in the success of Creedmoor.

Fitting Out the Juniata at the Navy Yard—Preparations Rapidly Progress- ing. Whatever may be said of the lethargy which oc- castonally marks government work at the Navy Yard when fitting out vessels for important expe- ditions, there can be no doubt whatever that the task entrusted to the oMcers and men of the United States steamer Juniata has so far been exccuted with remarkable promptness. From morning till sundown yesterday the preparations for tue cruise to Disco to reacue, if possible, the remainder of the crew of the Polaris, were carried on with great zeal, and it was evident that no time was being lost in completing the arrangements suggested by the Navy Department. The heavy arma- ment having been removed the day previous Commander Braine took the Juniata to the Navy Yard yesterday morning at nine clock, and the work of preparing her for sea was commenced Without delay. First of all, she was sheathed with iron, which, although it might have been some- what thicker, will serve to protect her against the ice which she must encounter in the vicinity of Diseo. he coal bunkers were prepared and arrangements were made by which additional quantities of coal could be carried in bags on the spar deck. It may be mentioned that the United States steamer Congress, prior to leaving for Disco, m July, 1871, received, exclusive of the coal put im her bunkers, about ninety tons of hard coal, six hundred and seventy- five coal bags, eight cords of hard wood and twenty-five tons of Cannel coal, The Juniata, @ much smaller vessel, carries over 1,000 bags and about five months’ provisions, Her capacity will altogether be pretty well taxed, and when the Preparations are completed there will be little room for quadrilles on deck. She has been.pro- vided with an extra steam launch, which. will prere serviceable in the quarter tor which she und. The Sppenrapee of the vessel yesterday was very animated. The Juniata had’a day or two before been the very: removal of the weil pol as of neatness, but the lished guns, the Invasion of ruthiess carpenters, who did wonders on deck, and the introduction of coal in ail directions quick transformed the pretty craft. The men werked. with energy the entire day, and fore and ait a feeling of harmony and joxonaness prevailed, Ail hands seemed to anticipate the voyage with pleasure, for aside from the risk and perils they might undergo a strong hope was entertained that the advent of the Juniata at Disco would bring relief to many a longing and weary heart. About one o'clock Vice Admiral Rowan, accompanied by the chiefs of the various departments in the Navy Yard, went on board the Juniata and were received by Com- mander Braine, with whom they spent some time in consultation relative to the fitting out of the vessel. The crew has been selected with great cure, and it is no exaggeration to say that a finer set of officers never trod the deck of a man-ol-war, Allseem to enter heartily into the humane spirit of the undertaking, and the public may feel assured that nothing will be left undone, 80 far as intelligence, heroism and ability are con- cerned, to carry out the great object in view. Commander D. L. Brame, commanding the Juni- ata, 1s an oMicer of long and tried experience. He was born 1n this city, and irom the “OMicial Record of Cnited States Onicers” living, 1t appears that he entered the service as a midshipman from Texas, May 30, 1846, and was attached to the Home Squad- ron during the Mexican war. He was detailed for duty during the well known engagement of APva- rad, Tobasco, Tuspan, Laguna, Tampico and Vera Crus, in the sloop of war John Adams, He was subsequently transferred to the St. Marys, of the Bast India squadron, in 1849-50, He was alterwards attached to the steam sloop Sarana, of the Home squadron. Having lett the Naval Academy he was promoted to be a passed midshipman, and was subsequently attached tothe sloop St. Louis, of the Mediterranean squadron. His promotion toa master in the navy occurred in 1855, and three years later he was commissioned as Heutenant. He was engaged in the coast survey from 1856 to 1857. He was afterwards transferred to the sloop Vincennes on the coast of Atrica, where he remained until 1860. He commanded the steamer Menticello, of the North Pacitic blockading squadron, in 1801, and had @ sharp engage- ment with a rebel battery at Sewell’s Point, Va., May 19, 1861, lasting one hour and fifteen min- utes, being the first naval engagement o1 the war. He subsequently attacked and captured the forts of Hatteras and Clarke, Shortly aiterwards he en- gauged the enemy at Kemerkerk Wood, exchanged shots with their gunboats and dispersed with effect two regiments of injantry, sunk two barges and rescued t enticth Indiana regiment when sur- rounded by the enemy. in November, 1861, he ¢ razed and silenced the battery at Pederal Poi & c., and dismounted one of the guns. The subje of this sketch was commissioned a lieutenant co! mander July 15, 1862, and during the two yea succeeding bad engagements with Forts Ca well and Fisher, where he commanded the Pequot. in _ 1866 he was ordered to ordnance duty at the New York Navy Yard, and was commus- sioned a commander in July, 1866. He subse- quently commauded the steam sloop Hartford, flagship of the Asiatic squadron, and in 1867 com- manded the steamer Shamokin, of the Brazil squadron, In 1868, and during the following year he performed equipment duty at New York. Lieu- tenant Commander Edgar C. Merriman, who en- tered the service in 1857, is the Executive OMicer of the Juniata, and Lieutenant De Long the Naviga- tor. The medical departinent of the vessel will be under the charge of Dr. Walton, an experienced urgeon. The names of the other oficers have aiready been given. ‘The Captain’s and Pay- master’s clerks on board are Messrs. J. J. Marbury and H.C. Wood. Vice Admiral Rowan hopes to have the Juntata ready for sea on Friday evening, but it is probavie she will not sail before Saturday. THE PITTSBURG BANK CRASH. Particulars of the Suspension of McLean & Co.—How the “Embarrasement” Oc- curred.—MecLean Arrested and Held for Examination at the September Term. PittssuRe, Pa., June 18, 1873, The suspension of 8. McLean & Co., bankers, and the subsequent arrest of S. McLean by the Ex change National Bank, is subject of considerable discussion in financial circles to-day. Fuller par- ticulars state that during the past three years the establishment has largely operated in railway securities, and it ig supposed that heavy losses have followed these transactions, There seems to have been no anticipation that anything was wrong till Saturday last. On Friday afternoon S. McLean & Co. sent communications to many of the banks and banking houses of the city, stating that they held New York exchange to a larger amount than suited their business, and vhey should offer some $30,000 of 1ton the #succeeding day or following morning. McLean purchased from John B, McVay & Co.,bankers, on Fourth avenue, $30,000 of City of Pittsburg bonds, with instructions, and registered them IN THE NAME OF IIS MOTHER, who has been thought to have monetary interest in the firm, in part payment. New York and Phila- delphia exchange to the amount of $15,000 was given and accepted in good laith, The same morning S. McLean & Co.’s drafts on New York were offered at the Exchange National Bank, Hill & Co., bankers, the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ Bank, Artisans’ Bank and other moneyed institu- tions, As New York balances have recently been at minimum here several of these took oc- casion to purchase. Hill & Co. took $5,000, the Exchange Bank, $12,000; Merchants and Manu- jacturers’ Bank, $5,000, and other concerns sums which, it is sald, ‘gregate about thirty thonsand dollars; currency was paid for draits by ali ex- cept the Exchange Bank, where McLean drew but $8,500 of the amount to his credit. On Saturday afternoon McVay & Co, discovered that the $18,000 of paper given them was drawn against a bank in wich the firm had no balance. McLean, being at once informed, returned the bonds. Un Monday it was telegraphed trom New York that THE EXCHANGE SOLD ON SATURDAY. to other banks was worthless, McLean & Co.'s ac- count not justifying, The news was received and Mr. McLean was eagerly sought for, but not found, Yesterday he was arrested and gave bail for his ap- pearance at the September term of the Court, One depositor im the concern, Mr. Garrett, will jose $30,000, McLean claims that his assets will ex- ceed his liabilities by $20,000, The amount of money left McLean by his father, it seems, did not amount to much over seventy thou- sand dollars. This was his main capital jor the prosecution of business. Some time he ad- vanced some sixty thousand dollars to a manutac- turing institution which could not return the money when desired, and McLean was very much crippled. This loan was the real cause of his pres- ent dnanctal troubles, CONVICTION OF WAGNER, Sentence Deferred Until a Legal Quibble Can be Settled. ALFRED, Me,, June 18, 1873, Judge William G.

Neeson, Ohio; Thomas G. Harkness, Pennsylvania; John H. Dykeman, Towa; Robert J. Wright, Pennsylvania; Albert Greaves, Tennessee; Harry ©. Wakenshaw, New Jersey, and Philip V. H. Lansdale, son of Surgeon Lansdale, United §tates Navy, and now stationed at the Naval Academy; Alfred Jeffries, Texas; Percival J. Werlich, Frank Blair Case, Michigan; A. W. Grant, Wisconsin; F. 5. Goalding, Pennsyl- vania; Herbert O. Dunn, Rhode Island; John N. Jordan, Maine. Conyers, the colored cadet, having failed on the Spring examination, will be allowed another chance in the Fall, but, if he fail then, will be dis- missed the service, in accordance with the rules. Onthe afternoon of Saturday, the 7th tnst., several “BILGED? MIDSHLLMEN had a little row with Conyers, in consequence of which they were promptly court martialed and dismissed the service for this and other misde- meanors, Their names are:—W. N. Butterfleld, J, F, Check, F. H. Duer, B. Ewing, L. C. Fietcher, W. Lockett, J.T. O'Keefe, A. 8. Rowan and W. T. brn O'Keefe, it will be remembered, is the littie New York newsboy who succeeded iu bearing away the palin at the competitive examination held in New York last Fall for a vacant cadetsnip at the naval school. The steamer Fortune, which is this year to take the class of cadet engineers on their Summer cruise, will leave Washington on the 1st of July, and, on reacting Annapolis, will sail immediately, with Lientenant Commander A. H. McCormick in command. The examination for ad- mission into the Naval School will terminate some time this week. The resignation of Lieutenant Commander Hendrickson, Professor of Mathe- matics at the Naval Academy since March last, has been accepted, The Constellation, Captain Cook, sailed hence om Thursday last with THE FIRST, SECOND AND THIRD CLASSES of cadet midshipmen on board for the Summer cruise, and the Academy is now consequently almost completely broken up. The cadet midship- men recently entered, as fastas they are sworn in, are quartered upon the ship Santee, once a huge and formidable old sea lion, now a mére prac- tice hulk, doing post duty, together with the once famous Constitution; and here the new middies are inducted into “the ways that are dark and the tricks that are vain” of naval life, which up to this time has probably appeared so bright and rose, colored to their youthful vision. It 18 all well enough for a few days, made up chiefly of idleness and merely toying with ship duty; but when everything gets into proper trim, When the class is fully made up and the irksome routine of drill hour after nour and hard lessons in the principles of navigation, algebra and other worrying things are begun, then it is that the poor cadet, now caughtina trap of his own setting, begins to discern what a fix he has got lumself into. Then comes the revulsion, and a more utterly miserable set of beings could scarcely be found than those mistaken and misguided youths, who thought that all was to be so “nice” and so easy, and find their dreams so utterly unrealized. Of course, the monotony of thelr despair is somewhat relieved by occasional gleams of sun- light in the shape of young ladies, balls, hops, moonlight promenades and other such heavenly things; but I never saw aman yet who has gone through the mill at the United States Naval Acad- emy who can look back upon his experieuces there with unqualified pleasure. Itis a hard life, and if a boy comes out of it unscathed, he is made of ex- traordinary metal. A lively little row is in pro- gress here now. THB SURGEON MARINE SHOOTER mall tributary of the Severn River, on naval school is situated, lies a large tract of land which the United States government purchased some five years ago, and on which was erected a handsome hospital for maimed and aged United States sailors. Te this hospital are attached large and beautiful gardens and orchards, A sur- geon is always stationed at the hospital, and as there is litle to do and the advantages of a rest- dence there manifold, the position has become a sinecure and eagerly sought after. The gentieman now occupying it is Dr. Duval, an aristocratic and testy old fellow, possessed of two lovely daughters, who are the admiration of the naval school, For some time past the doctor has been troubled by visits from amorous middies, as also irom young students at St. John’s College, a State institution of learning situated at Annapo- lis, who were rather, it seems, too frequent in their visits to his daughters for the old doctor's easure. So, being raised to the boiling pitch, hat worthy gentleman stealthily loaded his “ion; Tom” to the brim with buckshot, and, one cool afternoon went out serine, for any amorous youth that might be straying thither. As the doc- | tor ascended the hill in front of his residence, he | observed in®he distance two figures clad in blue, who had very much the appearance of midshipmen, scudding down the slope in front’ of him. The doctor knelt down. the hill. The figures stopped at the foot of 5 le The doctor crept close upon them and fired. had aimed lower down, but the shot took effect in the head of ene of the figures, who stood transiixed while the other took to his heels. On reaching the man who was shot the doctor found him not to be @ midshipman after all, buta marine, with a bloody head and vowing vengeance. He had come over, It seems, to depredate upon the doctor's straw- berry beds, and so the doctor swore it served him right. The marine has carried his grievances be- fore a court martial, who will probably make it warm ior the pugnacious surgeon, A HANDSOME TESTIMONIAL The Eminent 5 ices of Mr. Elbriage |T.
