Lonpon, June 19, 1873, SOME PBRSIAN FINERY. Leaving Ostend we went out to sea under a clear e@ky and upon smooth water—so smooth, indeed, 1 that its surface was scarcely rippled. I say the + ky wasclear, and so it was, clear and sunny; but @ rich haze lay upon the water in the distance—a soft, mellow mist, through which a scattering sail - OF two loomed vaguely. One may call such a - Morning perfect. The corps of correspondents were well jaded with their railway journey, but after champagne and soda - down stairs with the oMcers, everybody came up @efreshed and cheery and exceedingly well ac- quainted allaround. The Persian grandees had meantime taken up @ position in a glass house on the after deck, and were sipping coffee in a grave, Oriental way. They all had much lighter com- plexions anda more European cast of features ‘than I was prepared for, and several of them were exceedingly handsome, fine !ocking men, » They all sat in a circle ona sofa (the deckhouse ‘being circular), and they made a right gaudy spec- tacle. Their breasts were completely crusted with gold bullion embroidery of a pattern resembling fayed and interlacing ferns, and they had large jeweled ornaments on their breasts also, The Grand Vizier came out to have a look around. In addition to the sumptuous gold fernery on his breast he wore a8 jewelled star as large as the palm of my hand, and about his neck hung the Shah’s miniature, reposing in & bed of diamonds, that gleamed and flashed ‘nm @ wonderful way when touched by the sunlight. It was said that to receive the Shah's portrait from the Shan was the nighest compli- ment that could be conferred upon a Persian sub- ject, I did not care so much about the diamonds, but I would have liked to have the portrait very much. The Grand Vizier’s sword-hilt and the whole back of the sheath from end to end were composed of a neat and simple combination of some twelve or fifteen thousand emeralds and fiiamonds. “IMPRESSING” A PERSIAN GENERAL. Several of the Persians talked French and Eng- lish, One of them, who was sald to be a general, tame upon the bridge where some of us were - standing, pointed to a sailor, and asked me if [ couid tell him what that sailor was doing ? I said he was communicating with the other ships by means of the optical telegraph—that by + using the three sticks the whole alphabet could be expressed, I showed him how A, B and © were made, and so forth. Good! This Persian was ‘impressed '’ He showed it by his eyes, by his gestures, by his manifest sur- prise and delight. I saidto myself, if the Shah were only here now, the grand desire of Great Britain could be accomplished. The General im- mediately catled the other grandees and told them about this telegraphic wonder. Then he said:— “Now does every one on board acquire this knowledge?” “No, only the officers.”” “and this sailor?” “fle is only the signalman. Two or three sailors on board are detailed for this service, and by order and direction of the officers they communicate with the other sbips.”” “Very good! very fine! Very great indeed!” These men were unquestionably impressed. I got the sailor to bring the signal book, and the matter was fully explained, to their high astonish- ment; also the flag signals, and likewise the lamp signals for night telegraphing. Of course the idea came into my head, in the first place, to ask one of the officers to conduct this bit of instruction, but I at once dismissed it. I judged that this would all go to the Shah, sooner or later. I had come over on purpose to “impress the Shah,” and I was not going to throw away my opportanity. I wished the Queen had been there; I would have been knighted, sure. You see, they knight people here for ail sorts of things—knight them, or put them into the peerage and make great per- sonages of them. Now, for instance 4 king comes over here on a visit; the Lord Mayor and sherif™ do him becoming honors in the city, and straightway the tormer is created @ baronet and the latter are knighted, When the Prince of Wales recovered from his illness one of | his chief physicians was made @ baronet and the other was knighted, Charles II, made duchesses of one or two female acquaintances of his for something or other—I have forgotten now what it Was thoy did, Tpe illustrious Pollock (in zoush a. London shoemaker’s apprentice) became a great soldier—indeed, a Wellington—won prodigious vic- tories in many climes and covered the British arms with glory all through a long life; and when he was 187 years old they knighted bim and made him Constable of the Tower. But he died next year and they buried him in Westminster Abbey, There is no telling what that man might have become if he had lived, So you see what a chance I had; for I have no doubt in the world that Ihave been the humble instru- ment, under Providence, of “impressing the Shab."” And I really believe that if the Queen comes te hear of it I shalt be made a Duke, Friends intending to write will not need to be reminded that a Duke is addressed as ‘Your Grace;” it is considered @ great offence to leave that of. A PICTURESQUE NAVAL SPRBOTACLE, When we were a mile or 60 out from Ostend con- versation ceased, an expectant look came into all faces and opera glasses began to stand out from above all noses. This impressive hush lasted a few minutes, and then some one said— “There they aret’’ “Wheret” “Away yonder ahead—straight ahead.” Which was true, Three huge shapes smothered in the haze—the Vanguard, the Audacious and the Devastation—all great iron-clads, They were to do escort duty. The officers and correspondents gathered on the forecustle and waited for the next act, A red spout of fire issued from the Vanguard's side, another flashed from the Audacious. Beauti- ful these red tongues were against the dark haze. Then there was @ long pause—ever 6o long 8 pause and mot a sound, not the suspicion of a sound; and now, out of the stillness, came @ deep, solemn “boom! boom! Is had not occurred to me that st so great a distance I would not hear the report as soon as I saw the flash. The two crimson jets were very beauti- ful, but not more #o than the rolling volumes of white smoke that plunged after them, rested a moment over the water and then went wreathing and curling up among the webbed rigging ana the tall masts, and left only glimpses of these things visible, high up in the air, projecting as if from a fog. Now the flashes came thick and fast from the black sides of both vessels, The mufied thunders of the guns mingled together in one continued roll, the two ships were lost to sight, and in their places two mountains of tumbled smoke rested upon the motionless water, their bases in the hazy twilight and their summits shining in the sun, It was good to be there and see so fine a spectacle as that, THE NAVAL SALUTE. We closed up fast upon the tron-clads. They fell apart to let our flotilla come between, and as the Vigilant ranged up the rigging of the iron-ciads was manned to salute the Shah, And, indeed, that was something to see. The shrouds, from the decks clear to the tracks, away up toward the sky, were with men. On the lower rounds of these rope'..:‘iders they stood five abreast, holding each other’s hands, and so the tapering shrouds formed attenuated pyramids of humanity, six pyramids of them towering nto the upper air, and clear upon the top of each dizzy mast stood a little creature like a clothes pin—a mere black peg against the sky—and that mite was a satlor waving a flag like a postage stamp. All at once the pyramids of men burst into a cheer, and fol- lowed it with two more, given with a will; and if the Shah was not impressed he must be the off- spring of a mummy. And just at this moment, while we all stood there gazing— However breakfast was announced and I did not wait to see. THE THIRTY-FOUR TON GUNS SPEAK. If there is one thing that is pleasanter than another it is to take breakfast in the wardroom with a dezen naval officers. Of course, that awe- inspiring monarch, the captain, is aft, keeping frozen state with the Grand Viziers when there are any on board, and so there is nobody in the ward- room to maintain naval etiquette. As a conse- quence none is maintaiged. One officer, in a splendid uniform, snatches & champagne bottle from a steward and opens it himself; another keeps the servants moving; another opens soda; every- body eats, drinks, snouts, laughs, in the most un- constrained way,and it does seem a pity that ever the thing should come to an end. No individual present seemed sorry he was not in the ship with the Shah. When the festivities had been going on about an hour, some tremen- dous booming was heard outside. Now here wasa question between duty and broiled chicken. What might that booming mean? Anguish sat upon the faces of the correspondents. I watched to see what they would do, and the precious moments were flying. Somebody cried down a companion- way:— The Devastation is saluting!" The correspondents tumbled over each other, over chairs, over everything, in their frenzy te get on deck, and the last gun reververated as the last heel disappeared on the stairs. The Devastation, the pride of England, the mightiest war vessel afloat, carrying guns that outweigh any metal in any service, it is said (thirty-five tons each), and these boys had missed that spectacle—at least I knew that some of them had, Idid not go. Age has taught me wisdom. If a spectacle ts going to be particularly imposing I prefer to see it through somebody else’s eyes, because that man will always exaggerate. Then I can exaggerate bis exaggeration, and my account of the thing will be the most impressive. But I felt that [had missed my figure this time, because I was not sure which of these gentlemen reached the deck in time for a glimpse and which didn’t, And this morning 1 cannot tell by the London papers. They all have imposing descrip- tions of that thing, and no one of them resembles another. Mr. X.’s is perhaps the finest, but he was singing a song about “Spring, Spring, Gentle Spring,” all through the bombardment, and was over-excited IJ fear. The next best was Mr. Y.’s; but he was telling about how he took a Russian battery, along with another man, during the Crimean war, and he was not fairly through the story till the salute was over, though I remember he went up and saw the smoke. 1 will not frame a description of the Devastation’s salute, for [have no material that I can feel sure is reilable. THE GRAND SPBCTACULAR CLIMAX. When we first satled away from Ostend I found myself in @ dilemma; I had no notebook, But “any port in a storm,’ a8 the sailors say. I found @ fair, fall pack of ordinary playing cards in my overcoat pocket—one always likes to have some- thing along to amuse children with—and really | they proved excellegt to take notes gn, althougp |. NEW £ORK HERALD, FRIDAY,’ bystanders were a bit inclined to poke fun at them and ask facetious questions. But I was content; I made all the notes I needed. The aces and low “spot” cards are very good indeed to write memo- randa on, but! will not recommend the Kings and Jacks. SPEAKING BY THE CARDS. Referring to the seven of hearts, I find that this naval exhibition and journey from Ostend to Dover ia going to cost the government £500,000, Got it from @ correspondent. It is a round sum. Referring to the ace of diamonds, I find that along in the afternoon we sighted a fresh fleet of men-of-war coming to meet us. The rest of the diamonds, down tothe eight spot (nines and tens are no good ior notes) are taken up with details of that spectacie. Most of the clubs and hearts refer to matters immediately following that, but I really can hardly do anything with them because I have forgotten what was trumps, THE SPECTACLE, But never mind. The sea scene grew little by little, until presently it was very imposing. We drew up into the midst of a waiting host of ves- sela. Enormous five-masted men-of-war, great turret ships, steam packets, pleasure yachts—every sort ofcraft, indeed—the sea was thick with them; the yards and rigging of the warships loaded with men, the packcts crowded with people, the plea- sure ships rainbowed with brilliant flags all over and over—some with flags strung thick on lines stretching from bowsprit to foremast, thence to mainmast, thence to mizzenmast and thence to stern. All the ships were in motion—gliding hither and thither, in and out, mingling and part- ing—a bewildering whirl of fash and color. Our leader, the vast, hlack, ugly, but very formidable Devastation, ploughed straight through the gay throng, our Shab-ships following, the lines of big men-ofwar saluting, the booming of the guns drowning the cheering, stately islands of smoke towering everywhere. And so, in this condition of unspeakable grandeur, we swept into the harbor of Dover, and saw the English princes and the long ranks of red-coated soldiers waiting on the pier, civillan multitudes behind them, the lofty hilt front by the castie swarming with specta- tors, and there was the crash of cannon and a general hurrah all through the air. It was rather & contrast to silent Ostend and the unimpressible Flanders. THE SHAH ‘‘IMPRRASED" AT LAST. The Duke of Edinburgh and Prince Arthur re- ceived the Shah in state, and then all of us— princes, Shahs, ambassadors, Grand Viziers and newspaper correspondents—climbed aboard the train ana started off to London just like so many brothers, From Dover to London it was a sight to see. Seventy miles of human beings in a jam—the gaps were not worth mentioning—and every man, woman and child waving hat or handkerchief and cheering. I wondered—could not tell—could not be sure—could only wonder—would this “impress the Shah?’ I would have given anything to know. But—well, it ought—but—still one could not tell. And by and by we burst into the London Railway station—a very large station it is—and found it wonderfully decorated and ull the neighboring streets packed witn cheering citizens. Would this impress the Shah? I—I—well, I could not yet feei certain. The Prince of Wales received the Shah—ah, you should have seen how gorgeously the Shah was dressed now—he was like the sun in a total eclipse of rainbows—yea, the Prince received him, put him in a grand open carriage, got in, and made him sit over further and not “crowd,” the carriage clat- tered out of the station, all London fell apart on either side and lifted a perfectly national cheer, and just at that instant the bottom fell out of the sky and forty deluges came pouring down at once! The great strain was over, the crushing suspense atanend. I said, “Thank God, this will impress the Shah.” Now came the long flies of Horse Guards in silver armor. We took the great Persian to Buckingham Palace. Inever stirred till I saw the gates open and close upon him with my own eyes and knew he was there, Then I saia:— “England, here is your Shah; take him and be happy, but don’t ever ask me to fetch over another one.” This contract has been pretty straining on me.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. FLORENCE, July 3, 1873, A despatch from Belluno, fifty-one miles north cf Venice, says shocks of earthquake were felt in that city and the adjacent country this morning. It was reported that a volcano near Farra, a town ten miles trom Beliuno, which has been quiet for some time, commenced an eruption, but the statement is contradicted. THE CONFEDERATE CHIEFTAIN. Jeff Davis at the New York Hotel—How He Looks and What He Thinks of His Position. Before that period of the nation’s life which is now so Mippantly termed “the late unpleasantness” the New York Hotel was the hosteiry whither the hot-blooded Southerners visiting this city tended, There used they to gather with the radical leaders of “ye flerce democracie,” and there, from those associates, they got that beliefin the certain passiveness of the bone and sinew of that party which led to thé rebellion. Most of those eminent Southerns are now either dead or obscured from public view in their homes. But few of them have of late returned to the place of their old-time conferences, and within the year the Duke of Sonora, ex-Senator William M, Gwin, has been the only visitor there, Yesterday, then, when Jefferson Davis, the former President of the Con- federacy and the elephant of the administration when he was aprisoner in Fortress Monroe, en- tered the office of the New York Hotel and in- scribed his name on the register, the past flashed so vividly across the mind of Mr. Mayner that he allotted for nee aea by the ex-rebel chieftain the rooms which he had occupied during his latest visit to the city before the rebeilion. About half- past six o’cl last evening a LERALD reporter, who had heard of Mr. Davis’ presence in town, called at the hotel and sent up his card, intending, if the Confederate chieitain pleased to converse, to gather his opinions tor the benefit o! the readers of this journal. Word was brought back that Mr. Davis was at dinner and that the card had been left in his room. After a short time Mr. Davis came from the dining room and approached the office counter. He wore his hat and carried an un- lightea cigar in his mouth. While one of the pzo- prietors of the hotel conversed with him the re- porter scanned the features of the Mississippi fire-eater, venerable to most loyalists only from his age. ‘His face did not seem long, a3 most por- traits make it, but very sharp and angular, He wears @ slight beard, of uncertain color, part white and part of a sandy hue, which, with the high silk hat, may bave taken irom the lesgth of his countenance. His eyes were perplexing to the re- porter. He could not discern their color, and while they are not what are termed ‘cross eyes," they gave the reporter the problem of determining during the subsequent snort conversation whether Mr. Davis, who kept bis face set toward him all the | time, Was looking at bim, or turning his orbs in- ward to attempt a physical process of introspec- tion. These were the characteristics of Mr. Davis as noted lastevening. Looking at him generally, | he appeared im good health, periectly at peace with himself and the world. The reporter, wait- ing for the hotel proprietor to finish his conversa- tion with Mr. Davis, stood atthe desk near this Le ge and, 48 their voices were not low, ard =th2 subject of talk. [t was the cholera in South. Mr. Davis declared that disease that has appeared is certainly the Asiatic cholera. He thinks, however, that it is only endemic and proper care will pre- vent it. Though all classes of people have been attacked, he said, only the poor and the negroes have died. The poor whites oftener recovered from the disease than the negroes, for the reason that the negroes are selfish and will not employ physicent Until too late, for fear of the charges. ir. Davis LL hac these remarks the re- porter introduced himseif to his notice, He was received kindly and addressed in a calm, Soft voice | and with a siew speech. The reporter announced his desire to hear an expression of the views of M Davis on the affairs of the country. ‘The ex-President replied quickly :—“It can’t be. Tam entirely rt from politics now.” “But, the state of the south, its commercial, 1 needs *”" eae cat the reporter courteously, saying :—"‘No, sir; I can say nothin, You must understand my position, aud, therefore, compre- hend my determination to have nothing to 7 to poli- 17 upon any subject, as every one must leac ties, from whose discussion | am separated. Seeing that perseverance in the queries would only be discourteous and not nseful, the HERALD representative said, “Well, Mr. Davis, | under- | stand you are about to leave the country.” “What country /’ was the interrogative reply, “Leave what org WY No, SIF it is @ mistake. i do not intend to. go to Europe.’ As further conversation could not serve nis wishes, the Hara ged wok leave of | Mr. who bade him farewell ia the samq, | courteous fone be had received him, Europe. Advicee lately received from a gentleman con- nected with the European Syndicate are to the effect that bonds of thirteen diferent railroad com- panies in this coumtry have been discredited in Eu- Tope on account of non-payment of the July instal- ment of interest. This has already had a beneficial effect upon the sale of government securities abroad. as heretofore investments have been made in railroad bonds upen the advice of foreign bank- ers, who recommended them in preference to United States securities, as they bore a higher rate of interest and yielded more profit to those negotiating the sale. In consequence of the failure to pay the interest on the railroad bonds the confidence in them kas been shaken, and the foreign capitalists who have money to invest now look to government securities as the safest invest- ment, although they pay a smaller rate of interest. The Polaris Expedition. Assuming the genuineness of recently published extracts from @ letter of Commander Greer, of the Tigress, in reference to what his conduct will be regarding the Polaris and his deciaration not to be interfered with by Commander Braine, navalomMcers here express surprise that he siould have written such @ letter, as he beara a high reputation for seamanship and for caution in the expression of his sentiments. Besides, they are the more astonished at the temper of the letter as the general character of Commander Braine affords no ground for the assumption that he could under- take to interfere with the command of Commander Greer, who is in full charge of the expedition in search of the Polaris, while Commander Braine is despatched to make inquiries respecting that vessel on the Arctic coast. The two expeditions are distinct, as are the instructions of the re- spective commandors. An Indian Fight. OMcial information from the Stoux country proves beyond a doubt that the recent reported at- tacks upon Fort Abraham Lincoln by Sioux from Grand River were not really attacks upon the fort. A number of Ree scouts are employed by the com- manding officer, and these people are enemies of the Sioux. Some time ago a band of these Ree scouts captured and scalped a Sioux Indian and sent the scalp with a hostile message to the Sioux at Grand River, who immediately organized @ small war party to avenge the in- sult and the death of their comrade. These went to the vicinity of the fort and tried to induce the Rees to come out, but without success, and re- cently a large body, numbering about fifty, while endeavoring to draw out the scouts, were attacked by the troops. The fighting was done principally ationg range with a howitzer, and, except the capture of a few horses by the Indians, no damage was done. The Indians insist upon it that they do not want to attack or fight the soldiers of the Great Father, and think it is not fair that soldiers should fight them when they go to fight the Rees. Punishing Redskin RuMans. ‘The following was received here to-da; Evanston, Wyoming, July 2, 1873. Hon. ©.

The California Centra! Pacific Railroad Company having refused to deliver government freight at San Francisco without prepayment of charges ac- cruing on the railroad west of Omaha, the Attorney General decides that this act is a violation of law, and that suit will be brought against the company for the recovery of freight without payment of such charges, Internal Revenue Appointments.

THE PRAIRIE INDIANS. San FRANCISCO, July 2, 1873. Advices from Arizona state that Lieutenant Babcock, with fifty cavalry, wlio was sent in pur- suit of the murderers of Almy, overtook them in the mountains and compelled them to fight. Dur- ing the engagement fourteen were killed and six captured, Two of Babcock’s Indian aids were wounded, General Crook is still at Camp Apache. On the 24th ult., at Pine Village, a Mexican killed an Indian chief's son. The authorities took charge of the murderer and sent to Camp McDowell tor assistance, but before it arrived the Indians took the prisoner and beat out his brains, BAILROAD AND WEATHER TROUBLES IN MISSOUBL Sr. Lovts, July 3, 1873. The Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad Company has instituted @ suit in the Court of Common Pieas, of Hannibal, against Charles P, Haywood, Collector of Internal Revenue, for $50,000 paid to him as taxes on interest and dividends of the bonds of the company from January 1, 1870, to April, 1871. The company claims that this sum was collected unlaw- | fully, and made application to the proper aepart- ment at Washington to have the amount refended, which was refused, and now bring suit against the Collector to test the validity of the assessment. The case will be transferred to the United states District Court of this city and tried during the Sep- tember term.
