DISRAELI'S POLICY WITH REGARD TO THE EGYPTIAN FINANCES QUESTION—CONSEQUEN- CES OF HIS BEFUSAL TO PUBLISH MR, CAVE'S REPORT. {From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.)} Lonpox, March 24, 1876. Disraeli’s speech announcing the intention of the government not to publish Cave’s report has caused a panic and fluctuations in Egyptian securi- ‘ties. PRESS COMMENTS ON THE ACTION OF THE PREMIER. The Times denounces Disraeli’s action and the extraordinary conclusion of Mr. Cave's mission— namely, the withholding of his report from the House. It states further that the government can- not justify such an abrupt change of purpose, and warns it to refrain from farther tnterference, as it may result in humiliation. England pledging her honor for Egypt’s benefit isa most pernicious illu- sion. The Daily News says some evil genius presides over the government.

PANIC ON 'CHANGK—FORKIGN SECURITIES. There has been a panic and a decline of from five to veven and a half in Egyptian securities to-day, in con- sequence of Mr, Disraeli’s statement in the Hovse of Commons last evening, that the Khedive desired that Mr. Cave’s report should not be published, because Egyptl teport was of a confidgntial character, GOWERNMENTS, Government securities were generally weaker, prob- ably in sympathy, thongh some attribute the fact to Mr, Disracli’s expression last evening, during the de- bate on the Queen’s Title bill, that Russia's conquest of fartary is well known throughout India, and the Quecn’s wssomption of the title Empress of India would be re- terved asa sign of our determination to maintain our Indian Empire.

He continued: “When speaking of the clerical party we do not allude to religion, or to eincere Catholics, or even to the French ciergy, many of whom doubtless dread the encroachments of the Vatican. All we aim at Is to confine the clergy in their proper sphere and prevent the pulpit from being transformed into a political plat- form.

With so many popular features and bringing in such a large revenue to the management, !t is not dif» cult to conceive that in course of time rivals began to crop up until a climax was reached last year, when Liverpool was assailed in both front and rear. SPORTING PACTS, Atatime lke the present, when steeplechasing is Doginning to take hold of the minds of American sports- men, a study of the Grand National running cannot fail to be interesting. This should be more especially so | | | | Tom the fact that it is almost the only race in England | inwhich the time testis thought to have any value. The course is twice round and on the in- ner circle is about four miles and a half. There | are six ploughed fields to be traversed, four or five of | chasers, | Leger. j tan third to Schottisehe, Clonane being second. grass, and the remainder is on the racecourse, where there is, in frout of the grand stand, a water jump, eighteon feet wide, faced by a flight of gorsed burdles, five feet high. In the whole line there are about twenty- four obstacles, of a somewhat mixed character, to bo cleared, The’ best performance that has ever been known {in connection with the race was when The | General Lebarra says be will call for the balance in Lamb, who stood barely filteen hands, won, covering | the distance in nine minutes anda half. The question of time, of course, much depends upon the state of the ground, which, after a wet season, 18 often knee deep in mud. POPULAR AS EVER. That the Grand National thoroughly retains its popu- larity is evident from tho fact that tt was never witnessed by a larger concourse of spectators than to- day, the receipts at the grand stand being in excess of any previous year. STEEPLECHASE HORSES. Not long ago there was a great outcry that there Were no steeplecnasers worth talking about in England and that the Grand National was at the mercy of the French or Irish divisions. As the time for the decision of the race approached, however, the French dwindled away to nothing, Androcles, who had been spoken of as the best horse in Europe, gave way in one of bis legs. Baron Finot decided that the little fish to be caught in the neighborhood of Vesinet and Auteuil were sweeter, and Wild Monarch, of whom great hopes | were entertained, proved to be a commoner. While the French were diminishing in influence, however, the Irish every day began to iook more formidable. The many victories of their horses at Carmarthen, Croydon and Sandown Park tilled their pockets with money, and a sum suffic.ent to buy another Suez Canal was taken across the Channel when Donald won tho Waterloo Cup. Eventually, however, a great chavge took place in’ the +public mind as to the merits of the English competitors. The Messrs. Battazzi had two very high class can- didates to represent thoi, both of English breed and CAPTAIN. MACHELL, who 1s acknowledged to be tho finest judge of this class of sport ofany in England, declared that bis horse Chandos was the best be had ever tried, High class Tacehorses hitherto have made only moderate steeple- Chandos was a racehorse of the highest class, as he finished a good fourth io both the by and St. A year ago it was said that he was the prop- erty of the Prince ot Wales. That he was purchased by a trend of His Royal Highness is most certain, and it is equally certain that be was not paid for, He was SOLD AT AUCTION with other horses vought under similar cir- cumstances last October, Captain Machell, the original vendor, buying him. THE WINNER, Regal is a black gelding by Saunterer, dam Regalia, four years olu. He is @ fine, well tormod horse, and has a great share of speed. ‘He ran seven times last year and was a winner four times, Me first appeared in the Liverpool Handicap, two miles, March 16, and On the 17th of March, at Livet ho won the Waiton Hurdle Handicap, one mile anda half, having nine be- hind him at the finish. Regal’s next appearance was at Packington, April 9, when he won the County Cup over a distance of three miles; but the following day he was beaten for the Packington Handicap, over three miles and a half, by Congress and two others. He was then idle until the November meeting at War- wick, where, in the Handicap Steeplechase, with 152 Ibs. up, he made a dead heat with Annie. — Regal sub. sequently walked over the course, which was two miles, and the stakes were divided between bim and the mare. At the same meeting, three days alter- ward, he ran second to Congress in the Leamington Grand Annual Steeplechase, four miles, carry. ing 146 Ibs, Regal wound up the year on December 11 at Croydon by winning the Sandown steeplechase, carrying 146 Ibs., beating Chimney Sweep, Scots me, Defence, Coureuse de Nuit, Vic- toire, Little Tom, Spectre, Shifmal and Patrick. ‘Regal at Craydon jn which there were six other runners, the ae of the lot being Shifnal, Regal and Farby, the rst named winning after a most exhausting finish with Little Tom py a meck. Regal looked wonderfull; well, but when half the journey had been traversed, and he appeared going better than anything, he most unfortunately blundered, and though Me aig ast actually tall, got his torelegs so entangled in the bridle that he was not jurther persevered with. Had it not have been for this misbap the opinion is strong that he would have won. THE ENGLISH OARSMEN. LATEST BETTING ON THE UNIVERSITIES’ CREWS— OXFORD THE FAVORITE. Loxpox, March 24, 1876.

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS IN MATAMOROS— MILI- TARY DEMAND ON THE MERCHANTS. Gauvestox, March 24, 1876. The Brownsville special to the News says:—Yester- day afternoon General Lebarra gave the merchants and business men cf Matamoros a peremptory order to meet him at his office at half-past tour o'clock. He informed them when they met that the object of the meeting was to raise $300,000 to pay his troops and place the city ina state of defence. He offered a pre. mium of thirty per cent im Custom Houso bonds, say ing it was a friendly offer, and if 1 waa not accepted he would raise the money by force, and not scruple to use severe menns; that if found necessary to seize the merchants to effect his object he would do 80.

The merchants present were then called on to sub- scribe to the loan, When Sefior Antonio Langoria was called he said he was unable to subscribe, He was immediately confined in the artillery quarters, and is there yet. He can bo released by subscribing $10,000, Ten thousand dollars has been demanded from the house of Don Francisco Armedias.

Last night $3,000 was subscribed and to-day $14,300. This sum falls short $57,000 of what is needed now, fifteen days or so. In addition to this forced loan the Mexican govern- ment has levied a tax of one per cent upon capital, property, &c. The American merchants have sub- scribed to the loan, but in view of the ulterior measures of General Lebarra they have applied to United States Consul Wilson for protection. tue diry ix paxczr, General Delse is near Matamoros with more than 1,000 men.

HANS VON BULOW'S PIANO RECITALS. The third of the present series of Beethoven piano Teeitals by Von Billow took place last night at Chicker- ing Hall. The programme was as follows:—Sonata, opus 101, in A major; sonata, opus 106, in B flat, and thirty-three variations on a waltz of Diabelli, Although there were only threo numbers on the bill, yet they were sufficient to satisfy the most insatiate musical mind for a one night's concert. Von Bilow did not think so, however, for he added to them the sonata, opus 31, No. 3, in E fat ma- jor, The sonata in A major, dedicated to the Baroness Ertmann, full of poetry, probably a more dreamy work than better known sonata of Beethoven. It is The pianist seemed to suffer under unwonted nervous excitement during the performance of this work. The magnificent introduc tion, Allegretto, ma non troppo, which is susceptible of being rendered with the utmost tenderness, was in the interpretation technically correct, but as cold as ice in Ms delivery. The quaint march theme that followed was not well rendered, as the planisv’s fingers seemed to betray a weakness to which they are not generally ac- customed. The Adagio betrayed either weariness or indifferenee to its inherent beauties in the rendering. Tho finale was taken at a very rapid tempo, but showed adegree of spirit and dash on the part of the pianist worthy of his great reputation, Then Von Biilow in- troduced the lovely sonata, opus 31, No. 3, a true tone poem, and he played it with exquisite tenderness, fauitiess skill and in scch an entirely intel- ligible style that the audience apptauded him to the echo. Then came the mor formidable undertaking of all, the great sonata in B flat, opus 106, which very few pianists for the last iny years have ventured to essay in public. It 1s acom- parative stranger to New York audiences, on account of {ts tremendous technical’ difficulties, and there are not many virtwoss to-day on either side of the Atlantic, clever though they may be in the Intricacies of Rubin: | stein and Liszt, who would venture to try the grand or giant sonata of Beethoven belore the public. Von Bilow seems to have made it an especial study, A peculiar —contretemps occurred in the first Movement of this sonata, The pianist got as far as the 106th measure, where a long trill comes in, when he suddenly sprang from his seat at the Piano, rushed off the stage and comme to berate somebody vehind the scenes, Then a couple of men came on the stage, examined the piano and went be- hind the scenes. A pause of a few minates occurred; there was a hearty laugh on the part of the audience | and tho trascibie Doctor again took his seat. Eyvery- | thing seemed now to be to his satisfaction, for he | former efforts at Beethoven were dwarlet 1 compar- ison, The episoae, as many musicians present eration know anything #bou declared, might have been introduced — for eflect, but thos artistic imterpretation of the great ; work was not the less to be praised, The first move- ment, ns long as the introduction to the great E flat | concerto and far more difficult, went beneath Biilow’s | inspired fingers without a flaw to mar its Apollo, like proportions, if we may borrow a term from a sister art, The elaborately constructéd scherzo, u bete noir for any one but a thoroughly accomplished artist, was equally well delivered, and = in the impassioned largo Von Bilow displayed more of the true Beethoven spirit than ho usually does in movements of this kind. The conclud- ing fugue, in three parts, which for effect depends greatly on the player, was ‘scarcely up to the standard which the composer has prescribed for it. There were manifest. signs of weakness in the mterpretation of Von Bulow, As for the old-fashioned waltz theme of the Vienna professor, Antonio Diabelti, on which Beethoven wrote thirty-three variations, it went beneath the fingers of Von Biiow last night as if he hiked’ it immensely. The poor old Professor must have been startled when he found his simple theme swelled into such magnitude and raised to such adegree of importance, alter passing through the hands of the greatest genius that the musical world has ever secon.
