Important evidénce was obtained at Rio Grande City regarding the depre- dations in Star county. The Commissioners report that during the voyage up Mexican cat@e thieves were discovered in the act of crossing a herd of stolen cattle, The thieves being in considerable force recovery was impossible without troops. Large uantities of the hides of stolen cattle were found at Camargo, Mexico. A bad condition O! umulis exists all along the Texas border. In the downward voyage the Commissioners saw large quantities of smuggled goods on the Texas bank. Smugglers with small boats were on both banks. Murders and thefts continue, and from the deflant attitude of the Mex- icans, who still utter bitter threats against all witnesses before the Commission, it is feared more murders will be committed. The early action of Congress is looked to as the only means of remedy- ing a condition of affairs which has grown intoler- able. “THE WEATHER.

Wastinuron, Sept. 12, 1872. Th¢ result of the reductions im the tarif was realized to-day in Baltimore by the failure of a number of large tmporters. Lazear Brother, a firm engaged in the grocery business, fatled for large amount; Kirkland, Chase & 0o., the leading importing and shipping house in the West India and Brazil trade, wore 60 involved by the above failures that they were compelfed to suspend payment. This carricd with it the houses of J. C. Bridges & Co., William Bayne & Co., whote- sale grocers, and A. A. Perry & Co., dealers in lumber and cooperage stock. Thetr liabilities are estimated at anout two millions seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, These are five of the largest mercantile houses in the city, and have enjoyed the fullest confidence, Kirkland, Chase & Co,, by far the largest house, failed in 1860, compromised for seventy-five cents in the dollar, and subsequently paid every cont of their liabilities. On Change to-day and tn business circles generally the utmost excite- ment prevailed and busmess was very materially obstructed. The failures are generally attributed to legitimate losses in the grocer’s trade, and principally to coifee and to the intimate business relations of the partie Some consterna- tion ts already visible, and it 18 impossible to con- Jecture how the other business interests of the city will be aitected, It 18 believed, however, that the suspension is merely temporary, and that the majority, if not all, of these houses will speedily resume business, Lazear Brothers bave lost heavily on the out of town trade, and for some days have been unable to meet thelr engagements, Their indebtedness to Kirk- fand, Chase & Co., $160,000, was the immediate cause of failure, General Jesse Lazear, the father of the members of the firm, is quite a wealthy man, residing in Baltimore county, but not a member of the firm, For some days past Kirkland, Chase & Co., paving: been carrying the paper of the above house and other onEggameats maturing, were ressed so closely as to be unable to pay their abilities.

A. Perry & Co. heavily for shooks and heads used in their for- eign sugar trade, and, not being able to meet their indebtedness, caused the latter firm to suspend, It 1s ramored that John S$, Hopkins and Alexander Brown & Sons offered to take up all the paper of Kirkland, Chase & Co., provided they were assured the house could ultimately meet Its abilities, ‘This has been denied, . RUBINSTEIN. A Grand Serenade to tho Piano King. Alarge crowd gathered around the Clarendon Hotel last evening, attracted by the strains of the Philharmonic orchestra, which serenaded Anton Rubinstein, The crowd became very large and exceedingly enthusiastic at the prospect of seeing Rubinstein, and cheered loudly netween the pauses of the music. It was very evident they were much pleased to see the Philharmonic Society depart from their usual re- serve in this instance in order to extend to so famous a musician and so celebrated a player the official recognition of the leading musical organt- gation of the country. Calls for the celebrated Russian virtuoso and composer were often joined in by the musicians themselves. Rubinstein and Jenny Lind are the only artists to whom the New York Philharmonic Society ever extended such an honor, and the fact 1a @ compliment to both; for it shows that, if it be seldom the society allows entWnetacm to cerry ivaway, LU 1S, HOV UL sholaua, an great and unusual occasions willing to welcome and publicly approve the truly great and progress- ive in the beautiful art of music. The selections for the serenade were from Wagner, Beethoven and Meyerbeer, consisting of: first, “Overture to Rienzi ;” second, “the Andante of the Fifth Sym- hhony;” third, “Fackeltanz.”” Having been Introduced to the President Vice Presi- dent of the Philharmonic Society and to Carl Bergmann, the able conductor, Mr. Rubinstein expressed his thanks for the great honor done him, and modestly endeavored to retire; but the crowd outside, numbering probably some five thou- sand persons, called so persistently, “Rubinstein!” ae Instein!’? that he stepped to the door and said : wex—I have no words to express my gratitude ; but Tassure you lam deeply sensible of your ess, and will treasure it in my inemory as one of the happiest remembrances ot my life. He then retired, and after long and enthusiastic cheering the crowd gradually meited away. After the serenade a party of friends assembled in the rooms of the great artist, and Major Bundy made a brief and appropriate address of welcome. In reponse Rubinstein begged to be excused froma speech, but wished to return thanks by the medium of the piano, He then sat down to a Steinway parlor grand and played a most wonderful tran- scription by himseif of an alle from one of Beethoven's symphonies, a delicious nocturne of Chopin and Liszt's transcription of the Erl King. Such playing—but we will not anticipate the pnb- lic verdict. The other members of the troupe were present, and Mr. Maurice Grau made a very grace- Jul Master of Ceremonies.

Sateen oe _ Citizens’ Cup. THE PALMER THE ae Close Race Between the Daunt‘ess and the Palmer. ti The Time-Allewanee Cup Between the Made-- leine and the Dauntless. ON Boarp Vac Newrorr, KR. Lae a Newport tooks as blooming’ as ever, and although there are net quite as many yachts in harbor as one generally finds during the height of the season, it still atiords shelter to some eight or ten, em- bracing the schooners Dauntless, Vesta, Madeteine, Palmer, Caprice, Magio, Alice, Fleur de Lis, Gypsy, and the iron sloop Vindex. The morning broke very fuverably for yacht racing, as there was a pleasant breeze from the south by east half east, which looked like holding steady. The non-appear- ance of the Resolute was the subject of consider. able discussion, as everybody wanted. to see her stretch herself in the race for the Citizens’ Cup, which had heen set down for to-day. After break- fast had been disposed of and the morning cigar got under way the majority of the yacht captains repaired on board the Dauntless and discussed the prospects of the race. As some of the owners of the smaller yachts did not fancy thelr chances with the larger boats in a scrub race without silowance of time, four of the yacht owners subscribed $60 each for a time allowance prize. Mr. Robert Centre, of the Regatta Committee, then pulled arouna the fect and left a copy of THE SAILING REGULATIONS on board of each yacht, The regulations were to the effect that the race for the Citizens’ Cup was to be sailed with a flying start across an imaginary line between the spar buoy on Brenton’s Reef and Brenton’s Reof lightship, to and around the Sow and Pig's lightship, leaving it on the starboard hand and returning across the same line from which they started. Mr. Centre was tobe put on board the Brenton's Reef lightship and give the signal to start by lowering the club flag, when fif- teen minutes would be allowed for the yachts to cross the line, and their time taken from on board ae lightship, going and returning, about eleven The yachts began to make sail, and shortiy before eleven A, M. the Palmer led the way out of the har- bor én route for the starting point. The Dauntless followed soon afterwards, a few minutes before the Magic. The little lanthe, the winner of the New York Yacht Club regatta of 1872, was tacking about under a new suit of canvas with a view to seeing the fun as the yachts were leaving the harbor. The sloop Asten, belonging to the Olympic Club, came in from the west with some half dozen members of the club on board. The Vesta and Madeleine soon followed after the others, while the Alice re- mained {a the harbor, with her jtbs down, evidently waiting for somebody who had gone ashore. The ae ‘all stood off on the port tack, laying up past fort Adams and heading towards Beaver Tall. A few of the cottage residents were out in their car. riages and took up a position near Mr. Wynan’s a in order to get a good view of the start. It A FINE, CLEAR DAY, and aiter striking into Narragansett Bay the weather looked bright and promising, and the dark blue water was crested with snowy particles of foam that giistened in the morning sun like 80 many thousand diamonds. The tide was runnin, NOOd, BUU Vuc Vicene about pouth hy east, hal east, at half-past eleven. Tho Palmer, one of the fastest schooners belonging to the New LOK Yacht Club, was lying to about half a mile to windward of the Brenton’s Reef lightship, under fore and main- sail, fore and main club topsails, fore staysat! and flying jib. The Dauntless passed her to leeward, under fore and main sail, main club topsail, fore staysatl, jib and fying jib, and lay up on the star- board tack toward the lightsbip. The Vesta came next, under fore and mainsail, fore and main working topsails, mainmast staysail, jib, Nying jib and jib topsail. The Dauntless before reac! the lightship tacked and made & stretcl to the westward. The Magic followed after the Vesta, under fore and mainsail, working main topsail jib and flying jib, and the leleine brought, uD the rear under fore and main sail, main club topsall, working fore topsall, fore staysail jib and and flying jib. The wind had eee up considerably, and was now not fresher than & regular balloon sail breeze, The Little Ianthe was dancing about under three Jower saila and a main club topsail waiting for the start. The flag on board the lightship was lowered at 11:69 by Mr. Rovert Centre, of the regatta committee, who had waited some time in order to allow the Alice time tocome up. The Dauntless signalled “GO AHEAD," so the Madeleine, which was about a quarter to the westward of the Lightship, bore away to cross the line, The Dauntless came down to windward of her, setting her jib topsail, and both yachts crossed together, at 11h. 46m., the latter to wind- ward, hugging the Lightship. Both yachts were on the starboard tack, he] well up. The Magic came next, setting her staysail. and bore away to jive the Palmer room to cross between her and the Lightship. ‘Ihe Vesta came next, bringing up the rear, as the Alice was too far behind to cross the line within the required fifteen minutes. i THE START, ‘The yachts crossed as follows: | Yacht, Ch. 4.

The Palmer followed in the wake of the Dauntless with her fibtopsail all aback, The Vesta, with a staysail up, followed in the wake of the Paimer and about acable length to windward of the Magic, which had taken in her staysail, find- ing that it did more harm than good.
