CES OF HIS BBFUSAL TO PUBLISH MR.
CAVE'S REPORT.
[From the Evening Telegram of yesterday.]
London, 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 securl- 1
ties.
' PRESS COMMENTS ON THE ACTION OF THE PREMIER.
The Timet 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 cannot
justify such an abrupt change of purpose, and
warns it t-o refrain from further Interference, as it !
may result In humiliation. England pledging her
honor for Egypt's benefit is a most pernicious illusion.
The Daily Nerct says some evil genius presides
over the government Mr. Disraeli must thoroughly
and promptly alter his method of conducting
public business.

There has been a panic and a decline of from fire to

of Mr. Disraeli's statement in the House of i
Jommons last evening, that the Khedive desired that j
Mr. Cave's report should not be published, because i
Egyptian finances were In an nnsetUed state, and the
report was of a confidential character.

Government securities were generally weaker, probably
in sympathy, though some attribute the fact to
Mr. Disraeli's expression last evening, during the de- (
bate on tho Queen's Title bill, that Russia's conquest o( !

PARTICULARS O T Tit K GREAT INGUSH j^TKE PT.KCH ASH i
KVEXT?SKETCH OK REGAL, THE WINNER.
The Liverpool Grand National Steeplechase, the most j
Important ol all the steeplechases run In England, came |
oil on tho old course at Aintree, near Liver- j
pooif wood, in a nciu 01 nineteen norsos, itcgai provea
the conqueror. A bolter race was never run, although
llie prize was noi of such great value as last year. A i
few years ngo the Grand National stood nlone as a great
race in the steeplechase world and all that the author- '
lilies lound necossary to glvo to It in the shape ol added
money was $1,000. As much interest was displayed in
the raco as In tho Derby; In fact, in a certain sense
more so, as It was ntorn of an international contest, and
the Irish especially showed great appreciation of It.
With so mauy popular features and bringing in such a
largo revenue to tbo management, It Is not dim
cull to conccivo that in cotirso of timo
rivals began to crop up until a climax was j
reached last year, when Liverpool was assailed j
in both front and rear.
sroRTixo PACTS.
At a time liko tbo present, when stoeplochnslng Is
beginning to take hold of the minds of American snorts- ,
men, a study of the Grand National running cannot fail j
to bo Intoresting. This should be more especially so
rum the lact that it Is nlmost tbo only race in England
In which tho titno test is thought to have any value.
Tbo course is twice round and on the inner
circle is about four miles and a half. There
are six ploughed ttelds to bo traversed, four or five of
grass, and the remainder is on the racecourse, where
there Is, in front of tho grand stand, a water jump, j
eighteen lect wide, faced by a flight of gorsed hurdles,
Ave feel high. In the whole line there are about twentyfour
obstacles, ol a somewhat mixed character, to bo
cleared. Tho host performance that bus ever been j
known la connection Willi the race was when Tho j
Lamb, who stood barely fllteeu bands, won, covering
the distance in nlno minutes and a bull. The question
ol timo, oicourse, much depends upon the stain of tho
ground, which, alter a wet season, is often knee deep
in mud.
POPlt.AR AS XVIR.
That the Grand .National thoroughly retains Its popnlarity
is evident from tho fact that It was never j
witnessed by a larger concourse of spectators than to- I
day. the receipts at the grand stand being In excess or :
any previous year.
KTKKKLKCHASK ITOKSK8.
Not long ago them was a great outcry that there '
were no sieeplecnnsors worth talking about in England ;
ami that the Grand National was at the mercy of the
French or Irish divisions. As the time [or tbo decision
ot the raco approached, however, the French dwindled !
awn* to nothing. Androclcs, who had been spoken of !
as the best liorso In Europe, pave way tnonoofbis [
legs, llarou Finot decided that the little hsh lo bo
caught in the neighborhood of Vcslnet and Autcuil
were sweeter, and Wild Monarch, ol whom great hopes
were entertained, proved lo bo a commoner. Whtlo
the French were diminishing in mllucnce, however,
the Irish every day bogan to look moro lormidable.
The many victories ol (heir horses at Carmarthen, i
Croydon and Sandowu I'ark tilled their pockets with
money, and a sum sulllc.ent to buy another Suez Canal
was taken across the Channel when Donald won tlio
Waterloo Cup. Eventually, however, a great j
change took place In tbo public mind j '
as to the merits of tho English competitors.
The Messrs. liatin/.zl had two very high class can- j
didates to represent thorn, both of English breed and '
CAPTAIN MACKKLL,
who is acknowledged to ho tbo finest Judge of this class I
ol sport olanv man In England, declared that his horse 1
Chandos was the best he had ever tried. High class I
racehorses hitherto have made only moderate steeple- j
chasers. Chandos was a racchorseof the highest class, ,
as ho finished it pood fourth :o both the Derby and St. ;
I/ejer. A year ago it was said that he was the prop- '
ertv of the Prince ot Wales. That he was purchased by
a friend of His Koval Highness is most certain, and it is
equally certain that be was not paid for. He was

AMUSEMENTS.
BAX8 TON BDLOW'B PIANO RrCITAlfc.
The third of the prrnent eerie* of Beethoven piano
recital* by Von Billow took plnco last night at Cbickcr
I?K HalL The program mo was as follows:?Sonata,
opuslOl, In A major; sonata, opus 10A, In B flat, and
thirty-three variations on a waltz of Ihabelli. Although
tlure were only threo numbers on the bill, yet
they were sutllrlent to satisfy the most Insatiate
musical mind for a one night's concert Von
Biilow did not think so, however, for he
added to them tho sonata, opus 31, No. 8, in K flat major.
The aonata in A major, dedlentod to tho llaroness
Krtmann, is Bill of poetry, probably a more dreamy
work than belter known sonata of Beethoven. It is
too seldom given In New York. The pianist seemed to
suffer under unwonted nervous excitement during the
performance of this work. The magnificent introduction,
Allrprrttn, nni mm Iroppo. which is susceptible of
being rendered with the utmost tenderness, was in the
Interpretation technically eorrect. but as cold as ire in
lis delivery. The quaint march theme that followed was
not well rendered, as tho pianist's flngors seemed to
betray a weakness to which they are not generally accustomed.
The Adrujin lietraved either weariness or
indilfercnee to Its inherent beauticR In the reuuorlng.
Thc./in?/r was taken at a vory rapid Umpo, but showed
a degree of spirit and dash on the part of the pianist
worthy ol Ills grent reputation. Then Von Billow introduced
the lovely sonata, opus 31, No. 3, a truo lotto
poem, and he played It with exquisite tenderness,
fauit'ess skill and In scch an entirely intelligible
style that the audience applauded htm
to the echo. Then came tho most formidable
undertaking of all, tho great sonata In B Mat,
opus KH1, which very few piaulsts for the last Ufly
years have ventured to csmij-In public, It is a comparative
stranger to New York audiences, on account
of Its tremendous technical difllrulties, and there are
} "IUV V! um rtlllUHIV,
clever though they may he In the Intricacies of Itubiustetn
and Liszt, who would venture to try the grand or
giant sonata of Heotbovon bo I ore the public. Von
lltilow seems to have made It an especial study. A
peculiar conlretirmpt occurred in the first
movement of this sonata. The pianist got as
lar as the lOrtth measure, where a long trill
comes in, when he suddenly sprang Irom his scat at the
piano, rushed oil the stago and commenced to hereto
somebody behind the scenes. Then n couple ol men
came on the stage, examined tho piano and went holuud
the scenes. A pause ol a few minutes occurred;
there waa a hearty laugh on tho part ol tho audience
and tho irascible Doctor again took Ins seat. Kvory- I
thing soemcd now to he to his satisfaction, for he I
played tho sonata with such an cllect that all his j
iormor efforts at lieethovon wore dwurlel it comparison.
The episoae, as many musicians present
declared, might havo been introduced for 1
eilect, hut tho artistic interpretation ot tho great
work waa uot tho logs to bo praised. Tho first movement,
lis lorn; as tho Introduction tothocrcatKfl.it
concerto nod lar more dilllcult, went bonoHth Billow's
Inspired t!risers without a flaw to mar Its Apollo, like
proportions it wo may borrow a term from n sister
art. Tho elaborately constructed scherzo, a btle voir
for any ono but a thoroughly accomplished j
artist, was equally well delivered, and in
the impassioned largo Von Biilow displayed
more of tho truo Rcethovon spirit than ho I
usually does in movements of this kind. The conclud- >
lug fugue. In three parts, which for effect depends
greatly on the player, was scarcely up to the standard
which the compogcr has prescribed lor it. There wero
manifest signs of weakness in tho interpretation of
Von Itnlow. As for the old-lashtoned waltz thctno
of iho Vionna professor, Antonio Diahclii, on winch
Beethoven wrolo thirty three variations, It went
beneath tho II users of Von Biiiow last night
as If ho liked It immensely. Tho poor old
Professor must have been siartled when ho found his
simple theme swelled Into such magnitude and raised :
to such a dcgrco ot importance, alter passing through j
the hands of tbo greatest genius that the musical
world has over seen. Tbo two fugues, minuet, zchtrzn
and largo, wero Interpreted by Von Billow with especial
attention to the requirements of Iho composer. A
matin"*", lakos place to-day at Clilckerlng Hall, on
which occasion Wednesday's bill will bo repeated.

THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE.
A Short History of Natural Science, and the Progrese of
Discovery, front the Time of the Greeks to the Present
Day, for Scholars and Young Persons. By Arabella H.
Buckle}*. 1 vol , l Jnio. Cloth. Price, $2.
| Front the London Examiner. |
14 What Mr. Green is to the history of England Mist Buck
ley is to the history of Science, and He shall he surprised it
her manual fails to attain an n<tl measure of popularity.
If anything impede* this acceptance it rap only he the impression
that it is a mere compendium of scientific informstlon.
It is this, indeed, hut it is very much more. * There
are,' says Miss Buckley, 'many books that tell us what
science is hut they do not tell us how science hat become
what it is, and it is this which I hope to tell.' 1 lie technical
information, therefore, 1* here for the take of the history?
not the history for the sake of the technical information.
The book is not a chronological catalogue of (liscovoriet
made by human Intelligence, but a portrait of human intelligence
itself In tho attitude of discovery. It rests
with the public whether ^ this volume shall mark
an era in education. Nothing could be devised
more calculated than its general employment to convert
primary scientific instruction from a plaything
into a reality : while the atmosphere of nobleness which invests
it?disinterested enthusiasm, generous appreciation,
reverence for eternal laws, disparagement of all that is in
capable of verification?entitles it to a rank ainoug moral
agencies seldom attained by scientific manuals. We have
only to add that the technical execution is equal to the bio.
graphical; the various discoveries described and the experiments
frequently necessary to render them intelligible befng
explained with a perspicuity on winch u would be impossible
to improve.11

The present vutume, an English translation nt "A Handbook
of Architectural Styles," well known anrl appreciated
in Hermany, deserves the attention or those many English
readers for whom the study of architecture possesses attractions.
Its claims rest partly on the comprehensive rang*
which the author has takeu, and Ihelnrge amount of inlnrmatiuii
which he has heen ante to condense into a small
compass; hut chiefly ill tho tact that a laniiliar siihjert is
here looked at from what, si least to the English readers,
niny now he called an almost new point of view.?Extract
