The Cabinet of His Imperial Majesty the Czar Alexander of Russia commenced actively to pre- pare for a new expedition against Khiva during the early days of the month of August in the present year. The government at St. Petersburg has long been dissatisfied with the independent tone as- sumed by the Khan of Khiva, and some six months since His Majesty's Ministera sent him an ultimatum demanding a num- ber of concessions which would practically reduce Khiva to the position of a depedency of Russia, The Khan received the messenger with Oriental politeness, heaping all sorts of honors upon him and giving him also the release of two Russian prisoners, one of whom was a colonel in the imperial army; but he paid no attention what- ever to the terms of the ultimatum, The Russian government accordingly directed the commandant of the Caucasus to reconnoitre the roads leading to Khiva, and to provide provisions and transport for a corps d’armée Treasury Triumph on the Legislative Budget Vote.

They Visit the Central Park and “Le Roi Carotte.” During yesterday the Indians who are stopping at the Grand Central Hotel remained in their quar- ters, on the fifth floor, and in the afternoon a party of them had an excursion in barouches to the Cen- tral Park, which, of course, they admired very much, Late in the afternoon Colonel O'Connor, who belongs to the regular army, and is the Indian agent in charge, purchased thirty-six orchestra chairs at the Grand Opera House, and that number of braves and chiefs, together with Colonel O’Con- nor and the interpreters, visited the play of “Le Roi Carotte.” The chiefs had their paint on and wore the usual eagle feathers on their topknots. Governor Edward McOQook, of Colorado; Mr. Oregon Wilson, the artist; Mr. George Clarke, the comedian; delegate McGinniss, of Montana, and other gentlemen were present and conversed with the Indians. “Lost Medicine,” the big chief, created quite a sensation pee theatre, and he was much admired by the jadies. The ballet and Mrs. John Wood's jokes pleased the Indians very much, but the Sioux were most pleased with the Majilton family, whose acrobatic feats completely astonished them beyond measure, One of the Indian braves expressed a wish to make Miss Emma Howson his squaw, and Mrs, ‘Pack-the-Eagle,” the wife of a first class chief, declared that the monkey “scene”? beat anything that she had ever seen in her life, Mrs. ‘Pack-the-Eagle’’ was much admired. She will give @ dinner party ai her own room before she leaves. There was an amusing incident which occurred during the evening. A gen- tleman had purchased an orchestra seat in a good situation to see the burlesque, and when he went to take it he found an an immense Indian, by name “Bloody Mout,” sitting in it, giving no regard for civilized usages, which did not permit of a reserved seat being taken ossession of insuch & manner. The gentleman iooked at the big Indian and went back to the box oimce, where he found Mr. John Duff. MAN WITH THE ORCHESTRAL CHATR—Mr. Dutt, there is a big Indian in my seat, and you know that is not right; I want him out of there. Mr. Durr—Is he a very big Indian that’s got your seat? MAN WITH TNE ORCHESTRAL CHAIR—Quite large and vi rough. Mr. Derr—Well, go and snake him out and take your chatr, MAN WITH THE CHAIR—NOo, thank you; I will take a back seat, as I do not want to hurt him, The Indians will sf a visit to the art studio of Mr. Oregon Wilson, No. 1,272 Broadway, this after- noon at two o'clock, and in the evening tweive chiets, three squaws and sixteen braves, in their war paint and feathers, will visit Wallack’s Theatre to witness the play of “Pygmalion and Galatea.” They will, no doubt, be muci amused by the chaste language, elegant dialogue and skilful plot of the play. THS INDIANS, More of the Reservations Opened to the Government—The Indians Satistied and the Whites Delighted. Sourm Pass, Oct. 3, 1872. Mr. Felix R. Brunot, Ctairman, and Thomas Cree, Secretary of the Board of Indien Commis- sioners, arrived here from the Shoshones and Ban- nock Indian agency to-day, en route for the East via Bryan.

Interview Between the President and the Japanese Envoy, MR. MORI ON THE OLD FOSSILS OF JAPAN Report of the Rio Grande Commission on Mexican Outrages. The President’s High Opinion of the Bourbons as Allies. WASHINGTON, Oct, 3. 1872, Interview Between the President and the Japanese Envoy. Mr. Mort made an informal call upon the Presi- dent to-day for the purpose of introducing a Daimio of Japan who has just reached this country by way of Europe. The President shook hands warmly with the Daimio, and said that ne was always glad to sce a representative of his nation, to which his visitor made an appropriate reply. Alter some further exchange of compliments the President referred to the late news from Japan as givenin these despatches, and expressed his ex- treme sorrow at the threatening tendency of affatrs, Mr. Mori heroupon alluded to the ac- knowledged private source of the information, and sald that his own advices up to this time did not sustain it, and he hoped within a fow weeks to bo able to lay full intelligence before this govern- ment. The report probably grew out of the fact that tho retrogressionists or conservatives’ have lately renewed their efforts to restore the lost balance of power between themselves and the pro- gressionists, who had gained @ monopoly of the government. The President remarked that the progressionists appeared to be far tt advance of public sentiment, which Mr. Mori admitted, re- peating his views of a day or two ago that the best policy was to admit the retrogressionists to their shape of power and assimilate them to the progressives by education. Mr. Mori next spoke of the religious feeling in the Empire, and here it should be remarked that he himself is regarded at home as a free-thinker of the Ralph Waldo Emerson school. He favors public worship as a matter of policy, but is opposed to a State Church. His desire toreturn to Japan is understood to be inspired by a view of laboring for the religious emancipation of his country as a private citizen. In answer to an expression of surprise from the President at his anxiety to leave this country, Mr, Mori satd that he believed in improve ment anc had lived long enough to know, as the President had probably discovered years before him, that In order to advance and improve, the levers of advancement and improvement must be directly applied. Japan for ages had been back- ward among the nations of civilization, but he now hoped and believed she was entering yoon 4 new era, the results of which would in a measure com- pensate for what had been lost. The President said that he sympathized heartily in these desires, and that Japan may be made a close friend of the United States, with great advan- tage to both from the commercial relations likely to be established between tne two nations. Mr. Mort, in continuation, said that he had sent Dis resignation to the Tenno last January, but it Was not accepted, and he did not know whether he should be able to carry out his plans. He had, however, sent his commission back to Japan, with the request that his -succeysor be appointed with- out advvidable delay; but he was unable to say what the result would be, having no reply as yet. ‘The President next asked Mr. Mori, with much interest, what his opinion was in regard to the re- actionary movement, and received for reply that Mr. Mori had but one opinion, namely, that the pro- greasive tendency is irresistible; that ne had to muely faith inthe inberent force of modern civ! tion to believe that the onward march could now be arrested; that he looked upon his country as the rising sun of the East, and that his governmext was wise enough to recognize the fact that the age is everywhere moving onward, and that, if the progress of Japan be now hindered, a hundred ora thousand years hence would witness her at a standstill, the same Japan she had been in the past. The President hoped that his eloquent visitor would not be disappointed, and the latter re- peated his disclaimer of any fear upon the subject. Mr. Mori was unable to confirm the reported dis- charge of the Americans employed in the Japanese service, his latest advices about them being, in- deed, of an opposite character, and suggestive rather of additional honors than of disgrace for General Capron and his colleagues. The conversa- tiom next tarned upon the mission of the Embassy lately in this country, and passed thence to the thirty million loan which a Japanese Treasury ofn- cer, assisted by General Geo. B. Williams, late of our own Treasury Department, is endeavoring to place somewhere, Mr. Mori satd he would not conceal his disap- pointment at the appearance of the lean commis- sion in this country, and fully bore out in his re- marks the statement of his position in these de- spatches o1 Tuesday. Indeed, the opposition of himself and Mr. Iwakura, the Chief Ambassador, then in Washington, was no secret at the time, and their best efforts were directed towards the em- barrassment of the negotiations attempted in New York. Their own idea was to fund the floating debt which the loan was intended to cancel by the issue of interest-bearing bonds, on the plan of the United States five per ceat loan, and thus keep the whole business at hone. With regard to the two vessels building in New York Mr. Mori informed the President that he had great hopes of a naval marine for Japan which would render her capable of coping with her possi- ble foes, and knowing that his sentiments are shared by the horae government and the Embassy lately here, he 1s satisfied that the present stoppage of money is but temporary, and probably due to auch a cause as would be Hable to occur in the transactions of a well regulated commercial house at such a distance from the base of supply. He looks for immediate remittances to go on with the work, Upon this the Japanese Chargé d’Affaires with the Daimio, who had been almost a silent partici- pant in the interview, and who had evidently served agsameans of arranging the opportunity for the conversation with the President, retired from the Executive Mansion. The Legation is evidently alarmed at the wide publicity given to the late despatches from here upon the internal situation of the Empire, and there is little doubt that the oMictal dissimulation which is a staple resort of Asiatic diplomacy is made a present agency in counteracting or postponing the effect of the dis- closure. Report of the Rio Grande Commission= Preventive Measures To Be Taken. The report of the Mexican Border Commission, appointed under an act of last session of Congress to inquire into the extent and means of the pre- vention of cattle stealing aud other depredations carried on in Texas from Mexican soil, is in pos- session of the State Department, and the Commis- sioners themselves are on their way to Washington to add thetr personal narrative in fuller explana- tion of the situation, The President will take advanced ground in his message to Congress in behalf of terminating the predatory warfare along the Rio Grande, and will offer some suggestions as to practical means of solving the question. The inability of tae Mexican government to suppress its own banditti will be taken for granted, as the alternative would be to express distrust of its good faith; but in either event the United States government, will be treated as justified in taking the question of protecting its citizens into its own hands, and that with but few preliminary formalities. The report of the Com- mission covers Lut about one-third of the testimony oferad. the Commissioners being obliged to dia- oriminate to save time and for want of funds, But what was taken is grave and important enough to warrant more decided action than ig likely to re- sult from investigation, 0... 4, < The American and British Mixed Claiméd Commission were in continuous session to-day from eleven A.

THE COACH AND CAB DRIVERS! STRIKE. The strike of the coach and cab drivers continued yesterday, Merriam, Henry, Wilson and a few other employers still holding out. Nearly all the principal stables have, however, conceded the advance from $12 to $14a week. ‘Ihe objection made by the em- ployers who hold out is that they do not want to pay cab drivers more than $13 week, while they are willing to give the $14 to coach drivers, The committee appointed forthe purpose appeared be- fore the Mayor's Marshal bbe deere at noon to pic. charges of violation of the ordinances against essrs. Banfield, Henry and Merriam, and were about pressing the complaints when Mr, Banfleit told his men he would give the advance. The drivers were, therefore, unwilling to proceed any farther in the matter, and the Marshal stated that for the present he would hear no other complaints, To-day the committee will again appear before the Marshal and prefer charges against Mr. Merriam and others. The men stated last evening that they were courteously received by the Mayor and other officials in his omce, To- day the committees will continue to watch the stables and coaches driving through the city, for the purpose of seeing if any unlicensed drivers have been employed.

Two Porsons Killed and Twenty- seven Wounded, “Behind Time” the Cause of the Casualty. Mortistown, Tenn., Oct. 8, 1872. The most feartul accident that has occurred on the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad since the war took place to-day. The Southern bound expreas left Greenville, seventy-four miles east of Knoxville, an hour and sixteen minutes behind time. It reached the top ofa heavy grade three miles west of that place at twenty minutes past nine, and as the heavy train, composed of locomotive, tender, two baggage cars, one express smoking car, three passenger coaches and one sleeper, came sweeping AROUND A SHARP CURVE, running down grade at from thirty to thirty-five miles an hour, the trucks of the mail car jumped the track. Down brakes was sounded, but such was the momentum of the train that it could not be checked up until the trucks that had jumped the track struck the timbers of a high trestle 195 yards from the point they left the track, The trestle gave way at once, and the front of the smoking car was upset and went down a bank. The second coach fell through the trestle and was TELESCOPED r by the one following. The locomotive and baggage and express cars passed the trestle in safety, and the last passenger coach and sleeper remained on the track. The train was crowded with passengers, most ofthem being persons returning from the Virginia Springs. Your correspondent, imme- diately on the news reaching Knoxville, repaired to the scene of the disaster on a special train, The wreck was fearful, and the” escape from death of the passengers seems miraculous. The in- jJured number twenty-seven, three or four of whom will probably die; two of them certainly, a colored breakman and a Mrs, Smithson, from Memphis, Many of them are injured seriously, The three coaches were a total wreck, The rail- road oficials spared no efforts to provide for the suflering, and the passengers who escaped vied with each other in ministering to the necessities of the sufferers, SEVENTH RUBINSTEIN CONCERT. eal Ree There was a very good attendance at Steinway Hall last evening. The fame of the great Russian pianist and the no less celebrated Polish violinist has spread beyond the circle of ordinary concert- goers, and has already taken hold of the general public, so that last night there were grave, earnest listeners, to whom the piano and violin in the hands of these surpassing artists were sources of pure, unalloyea pleasure. Rubinstein, great at ail times, surpassed himself on this occasion. The “Concertsttick” of Weber is well known here, and 1a likewise a favorite in the concert hall. But few artista sre able to interpret it in all its massiveness and sensuous beauty. We have heard pianists in this city who passed triumphantly the ordeal of Liszt, and yet came to grief in this remarkable work of the com- poset ot “Der Freischuectz.” Von Bulow is, per- hups, the only recognized interpreter of the work at present in Europe. But the chaste style and classical finish of Buiow pale before the impetu- osity and brio of Rubinstein. There were a ner- yous vigor, power and dash about the per- formance of this work last evening that lifted it into the regions of sublimity. Through the fortes of Carl Bergmann’s orchestra welled up those mighty piano passages like the resistless rush of & mountain torrent, and a perfect tornado of sound, always obedient to the magic fingers of the player, rose above the din of strings, brasses and reeds, Then those wondertul erescendos, in which one would think that the piano ws provided with the pedal swell of an organ, they were givou with an effect perfectly indescribable. In no other work has Rubinstein made such @ profound and lasting impression in this city. Wienlawaki Played a very melod and weil written concerto of his own fio. 2 ih D minor) with that elegant finish, pure, sympathetic, true and noble conception that characterize all the perform- ances of this artist. The work has the rare merit modern compositions for the violin of entire in- Ulligibility, unity of idea and poetic spirit. In some of his other works Wieniawski excited the audience to such a pitch of enthusiasm that every one cheered, applaudeg and went into ecstatic ex- travagances, Mile. Liéphart and Mile. Ormeny were the vocalists. Another concert takes place tus evening. ITALIAN OPERA.
