The Times says there was almost nothing doing in discounts Saturday and rates were nominally the samo. With money so excessively cheap the banks and Dis- “count House refuse to look at any but the very best Paper, because it is not worth while to take any risk. For the struggling trader the present torpor is, therefore, worse than dearer money might be. With a rate to tempt business he might get some ‘"ccommoda- tion, but now he gets none. The simple result of this must be that many houses of small means will succumb. ‘This cheap money is, therefore, about the most severe purifier of the market that could be conceived at the present moment.

FRAUDS IN THE MARINE CORPS. ALLEGED ABUSES IN PURCHASING CLOTHING— { SUITS AGAINST THE CONTRACTORS IN NEW YORK-“COLLUSION OF CLERKS SUSPECTED. Wasinnerox, August 16, 1875. The Chronicle of this city publishes a lengthy article to-day on “The Marine Corps,” the details of which aro | principally charges éf swindling the marines by officers of the corps, and further charges against Quartermaster Slack for serious abuses in the matter of purchasing clothing, &c., with other wholesale charges against the entire corps, so far as the officers are concerned. In- quiry at the Fourth Auditor's office sustains the charges which have been made of frauds committed against the government in the purchase of clothing, though the officers at the Treasury say that Major Slack is entirely innocent of any complicity and that the offence lies be- tween the contractors and parties who, in their official or clerical capacity, are fntrusted with the inspection of clothing sent them for that purpose by the contractors, That such frauds have been committed has been evident for some time, and the Solicitor of the Treasury, who has been investigating the matter, has now commenced suit against the bondSinen of the contractors in New York. Itis stated at the Fourth Auditor’s office that of THE CONTRACTORS IN QUESTION one recently died and another was missing from asteamer plying between New York and Providence, with indications leading to the impression that he either committed suicide by — jumping overboard or | was lost overboard. The evidences of fraud jn the purchase of clothing, it is said the ‘Treasury Department, are very clear, but there are no charges made by the government against the officers of the corps charged with inspection duties, and the impression is that it was accomplished by the collusion of one or more clerks with the contractors, ‘The extent of the fraud is believed to be in the neighbor- hood of $20,000.

In tho case of Lieutenant French, the only officer arrested, a change of venue to Cameron county was taken, and the District Attorney has no doubt a fair. trial can be had fn that county. |The course of Mr. Powers in applying for writs of habeas corpus was approved by the District. Attorney, and he has no doubt of the successful issue of the cases. WRECK OF THE RIO BRAVO. THE STEAMER INTENDED TO PATROL THE 110 GRANDE ASHORE ON THE TEXAS COAST—DE- TAILS OF THE DISASTER.

Newport, R. 1, August 16, 1875, The race for Vico Commodore Garner's four prizes ‘Was satled to-day, under circumstances, however, that afforded little excites 1, the event winding up in a wearying drift to the home stakeboat, This was to be Tegretted, as extensive preparations had been made for the contest, and in view of the generous liberality of the donor of the silver cups it was expected that the number of entries would be unusually large. But the elements | combined to render the affair rather uninteresting, | the wind being southeast and consequently fair way and over tho-course, which, as usual, was from Fort Adams to anst around the buoy off Block Island and re- turn, Evensthis failed, nearly all the competitors being becalmed in the viewity of Point Judith on the way back and later on off Beaver Tail Light. The morning was gloomy to begin with, the rain falling briskly and making oilcloth garments the order of the day. There were two Cups offered for first and second class schooners and two fordirst and second class sloops. THE ENTRIES included the schooners Idler, Rambler, Alarm, Eva, Clio and Paestless, and the sloops-Vindex, Vision, Addie, Genia and"Windward. ‘The contestants made the best of their wery ont of the harbor shortly before ten o'clock, the Rambler being among the first to approach the start- ing point. Between her and the Idler it was generally believed that the race for first class sloops lay, thor the Alarm: astonished many by her admirable perform- ance while the breeze lasted. The steam yacht Ideal took up a-position off Fort Adams, and by the time the vessels haut got into a good position gave the preparatory Signal, the-wind being pretty fresh from the southeast and the ‘tide near the flood. The vessels crossed the imaginary*line from the fort to'the Dumplings in the ~ FOLLOWING ORDER AND TIME ;— Genia,, 10h, 19m. 35s.; Addie V., 10h. 20m, 288. ; Rambler, 10h. 20m. 82s. ; Idler, 10h, 23m, 02s. ; Wind- ward, EOh. 24m. 2ls.; Restless, 10h, 24m. 34s. ; Alarm, 10h. 24m. 42s. ; Vision, 10h, 25m. 58s.; Clio, 10h. 26m. 38s, ; Eva, 10h, 29m. 088. The Vindox, though entered, did notsstart and returned to her anchorage in the har- bor. ‘The contestants made a clean stretch up the channel, the sloops Genia and Addie having tho lead. Noxt inorder came the Rambler, the Idler being on her weather quarter, with the Restless and Alarm in com- pany; the Clio and Vision next and the Eva bring- ing up the rear, The pelting rain’ now fell in earnest, making things uncomfortable, and it could be seen: that the weather outside was thick and nasty, Light, as did also the sloops Genia and Addie V., the other-vessels heading in the direction of Brenton’s Reef | Lightship. Although not in the race, the Mobawk, | Estelle and Comet accompanied the contestants up to | the buoy. Of Block Island the Alarm closed up with | tho Restless and passed hor, and then shaped her course for the turning point. Meanwhile the Rambler and Idlersremained together, the former being ahead, but with the freshening of the wind they joined company again until within five miles of the buoy, Theso vessels had quite @n interest | ing run, when the weather became thick and | Aisagpeeable, what with the wind — dying out.and the continued downpour. Farther movements | did not afford any subject for comment, Nearly all the races: being shut out from view, it was in every respect a day: calculated to DISGUST THE MOST HOPEFUL and enthusiastic yachtsman, the surroundings being miserable in the extreme and the prospects altogether bad. Not long after noon the Rambler was seen ap- proaching Block Island. The weather having lightened somewhat she held a good Jead and was undoubtedly sailed to the best advantage, She was the first to round the buoy, and had scarcely shaped her course for the home stakeboat when she was favored with a nice breeze, which also brought the others up to the turning point. Notso with the Idler, whose hard luck ata critical moment at once sealed her fate for the day. This fast sailing craft, alone of all the fleet, was be- calmed near the buoy, and the very wind that sent the Rambler ahead brought the others up on her weather, the Alarm finally passing her. The leading yachts turned the buoy as follows :— TURNING TUE BUOY, AMS. H M.S.

The ill luck which attended the efforts of the Idler at nearty every stage precluded the possibility of any con- test Between her and the Rambler, Yet, at two o'clock, when her sails filled, she promptly began to lessen the | |, gap between her and that vessel, having previously walked away from the Alarm; but after passing Point Judith the vessels did little more than drift, - THE DRIZLLING RAIN, meanwhile, contributed to the discomfiture of all en- gaged in the race, which, so far as any competition is concerned, virtually ceased halt way to the buoy in the | run out to Block Island, — In the vicinity of Beaver Tail Light the scene was dispiriting and many wished them- selver snugly atanchor, Thick weather again made matters still more oppressive and it is no exagger- ation to say that a inore gloomy situation never marked - a race in the annals of the club, Not far from Brenton's Reef hghtship the schooner Restless got a slight puff of wind and suceeeded 1n pass. | ing the Clio, finally coming in the victor of her class. | But when it is mentioned that nearly all the vessels lay | becalmed for over two hours in the channel, the chara tor of the run home will be the better appreciated.

This house reopened last night with an adaptation | from Jules Verne’s sensational story, “Around the World in Kighty Days.” The version resembles strongly the one’produced at the Bowery some time since for the benefit of the east side audiences and iss | marked by a total absence of literary merit. The piece depends for its attraction on a number of very absurd sensational scenes, which, however, delight the gods and bring “down the house.” We understand the new | nd for success on the same element.of | does the Bowery, and hope to make of the Grand Opera House a rival for the famous east | side theatre, The company inclujles several actors of | merit, and with a play which gave greater scope for act- ing than does the present one they might succeed in popularizing the Grand Opera House, as the managers have wisely lowered the rates of admission to suit the popular pocket. “Around the World in Eighty Days requires for effective representation expensive dresses | and scenery. It is purely a spectacle, and loses all its | interest waien the tableaux fail to present striking pic- | tures of the scenes through which the personages of the | drama pass; and as they do not do so in the present play we fear the Opera House version of Yerne’s remark- able story will not obtain popularity. Last night | there was a crowded house, WOOD S MUSEUM. “Si Slocum,” a sensational play founded on the mei- dents of the life of the notorious bandit Ramon Vas- | quez, was produced at this place last night. The play is about ona level with the rest of the backwoods dra- matic school, abounding in thrilling incidents, with plenty of rifle shooting, hairbreath escapes, &e. A fight between a dog and a bear also oecurs during the progress of the play, au apple is shot from the heroine’s head by Si Slocum, and a dangling negro’s life is saved by a rifle ball which severs the rope by which hé is hanging. METROPOLITAN THEATRE, A new variety bill was presented at this theatre last night. Two or three sketches were on the programme, and any number of comic and sentimental songs were sung. The Russian athletes Johanoff, Dunbar and An- tonio, were received with much enthusiasm. Mlle.
