WHY THE ALLEGED SMUGGLED GOODS WERE RELEASED BY SECRETARY BRISTOW—COL- LECTOR ARTHUR STANDS BY HIS FAITHFUL OFFICERS—HIS FINAL PARTHIAN ARROW. Wasminatox, April 5, 1876. ‘The controversy involved in the case of Mason Hirsn, charged with smuggling goods to the value of $3,000 on the steamer Russia in the month of Decem- der last, is not likely to get a quietus until the further and latest charge that these goods after their reap- Praisement were released without payment of the duties is settlea by an exhibition of the official docu- ments disproving the fact. So far asthe Secrotary of the Treasury is concerned this payment is taken to have been made, as the imposition of the duty 1s duiy Teported in the papers submitted with the termination of the controversy and must appear in the accounts of the New York Custom House at the end of the period at which financial statements are usually rendered from that office, In all this matter there has been an inner or UNDER CURRENT, as well as the phase of facts presented to the public through the newspaper accounts of what transpired within the immediato jurisdiction of the officials of the Custom Houso in and near New York. It seems that when the steamer Russia arrived at Jersey City in the middle of December last the effects of Mason Hirsh, a Prominent merchant of Philadelphia, were seized for a Violation on his part of the revenue laws, On the out- ward seeming ol the circumstances attending this case the facts were so conclusive of the guilt of Mr. Hirsh that Collector Arthur, reposing in the fidelity of his trusty doputies, pursued that gentlenran to the utmost of bis mad in the desire to secure not only a vindication of the law, but the justification of the custom officers who had resisted alleged bribery and had stringently executed the regulations given for their guidance in such a case as that presented in Mr. Hirsh’s irregular entry of his goods, ‘The counsel of Mr, Hirsh having mado application for the release of his seized goods, tne Secretary of the Treasury transmitted the application to Collector Ar- thut, who returned the following reply :— STATEMENT OF COLLECTOR Al LUsto: rR.

Hirsh & Bros., merchants of that city, among the signers of such letters so received being Messrs. Drexel, Morgan & Co., Mayor W. S Stokley, the cashier of one of the leading banks, 3. J.

The entire plank walk on the bank was carried away by the high wind, and portions of it landed in Ocean Park and across the Boulevai Several small cottages were blown from their foun- dations, At this port many boats and small craft were sunk or carried ashore apd badly damaged, The ferryboat Maryland arrived here on Monday night in tow of the underwriter’s boat Caarles Pearson, and tried to anchor, but her anchor would not hold her, and she shipped her chain and steamed up to the railway whart. In ing up she struck the schooner Antoinette M. Acken, of (bis port, and carried away the latter's jibboom and headgear. She then carried away a portion of the wharf and parted | her hawsers and struck the schooner Frolic, of this port, doing her little damage, The Maryland then round alongside the schooner John B. Norris, of this port, crushing her bulwarks and stanchions under her guards, and causing very serious damage. The Maryland finally carried the Norris ashore with her and pushed her high upon the beach above Umion | wharf.

All hands were saved by getting on board the Ximena, She now lies sunk and a com- = wreck and will undoubtedly be a total loss.

Many years have passed since this dis- tinguished virtuoso appeared with Mme Anna Bishop in this city, Then bis remarkable talents were duly appreciated, and sinco that time the harpist has acquired a world-wide fame.

There was but one mistake on the programme and that was with meddling with a Beethoven sonata. The grand old master cannot tolerate liberties with bit works. Onata quasi fantasia, opus 27, No. 2. was, therefore, a disastrous failure. In no sense did the rformance convey the faintest idea of the work. jut io the other selections Mr. Aptommas well vindi- cated his claim to being one of the greatest hat virtuosi iu the world. The instrument that he play: on was not calculated to do him justice, as its tone wat thin, wiry aud uncertain, But the touch of a traly great artisiwas evident, unerring accuracy im the technique expression of the most marked and varied kind, a thorough mastery, to the extent, at times, of artistic abandon, of everything required in the inter- pretation of a work and the high intelligence of an ag complished artist, were manifest in Mr. Aptommas? playing yesterday. it was, indeed, a revelation of portent Virtuosoship on a much neglected instrument, 1t is to be hoped, for the sake of art, that Mr. Aptom- mas will repeat this recital at an early date.
