Ever since the descend. ants of the M@ritans have obtained a foothold in this State and city, they bave been constantly at work endeavoring to force their dogmas by legal enactments on the con- sciences of the people. They go for ehutting up the labor- ing masses in barrow Bstrect« and ip tenement houses on Sunday, or to go to the “conventicle.” They design that the blackemth, tailor, carpenter, and other mechanics, whose muscles have been exercised im labor all the week, and whose wife and children have been shut op i” mpure air im badly ven- tlaied roome, shal! remain in them on Sonday, exelud. ed from the ‘ight and +unshice of the country. To these bine light disciples it matters not that the poor man's children may be afflicted with surnmer diseases, of that confined air and overwork is sapping the bealth of their parents, which might be alleviated by breathing the pure air of the country; yet they are out off from enjoying it so far as their influence can go.

Reception of Hibernia Engine Company No. 1, of Phi by Americus Engine Company No. 8. &ec., ke, ko. ‘The city of New York, #0 proverbial for the frequent recurrence in its midst of amusements of every shado and description, was shaken to its ‘vory centre’ last evening by the attractive and mammoth exhibition of the fire companies of Okt Gotham. Whatever may be said of these exhibitions per se, it cannot be denied that the effect of the ‘pageant show” is to arouse a feeling of emulation in the minds of ‘those who know that the leading fire companies of New York are favorably advancing in the march of scientific improvement, and, by the unanimous feeling of its mem- bers, is making their names and characters felt, not only n New York, but thronghout the wide area of the United Beates. It must be well known to our readers that the visit of the Philadelphia engine company has been a matter of discussion for some time past. Although their arrival has uot been ‘up to the time’—to make use of the phraseology of a sporting — body—still their late appearance has not iv the slightest de- greeaffected the enthusiastic character of the reception which was promised, and which we are glaito say has been accorded to them. There is happily—as there ought to be—a good and fraternal feeling existing between New York aud Phnladelphia; and no bettor occasion could have arigen than the present by which the denizens of the two cities could manifest the cordiality and affection which ought to exist between the two fre departments of the Empire and Brotherly Love cities. New York hag before to-day cvinced a disporition to pay the highest honors to Philadelphia; and, in the exhi- tion of the various fire companies last evening, we ob- serve an inclination to draw together more closely those etrings of consanguinity which ought to bind in love and friendship the children of every portion of this great apd glorious Union. ‘The visit of the Hibernia Steam Fire Engine Company No. 1, of Philadeiphia, has been for some time expected» and it was thought that when the Philadelphians arrived there would be a greatand splendid display. The day fixed for the exhibition passed off without the appearance of the Philadetphians; but though they had been “ backward in coming forward,” their ultimate arrival has not been re garded in any otber than a highly satisfactory light. The City Hall and Park were crowded as early as 7 o'clock, all anxious to gain a ‘ footing” to view the pro- cession. Every point from which « sight of the firemen could be obtained was eagerly seized upon by all classes. Not only the boy of tender, and yet experienced years, out also the aged, thronged to the Park, and eagerly bat- tled for a prominent locality to view the procession. Ont- side the circle of the throng end around the Hall & different spectacle was presented, and 28 upon all festive, commemorative, celebrrative and “re: coptive” occasions, the venders of good things made their appearance. Fruit, candies, _tobar- tobaceo, &c., &¢., &C., were easily disposed of to the vast crowds of spectators, The “weighing machines’’ alvo reaped a harvest, and hundreds of the firemen, to enjoy the fun and win a few bets, placed their carcasses in the hair cloth chair and were weighed “within a grain.» ‘The companies met and formed in reverse order, at seven o'clock P. M., dressed in full fire suits, the right resting ou (he corner of Battery place and West street, extending through Battery place to Broadway, and up Rroadway, on the west side. Upon the arrival of the Jivernia Company at pier No. 1 North river, a national salute was fired by the Peterson Guard, under command of Capt, Samuel Jackson. The Hibernia Company was received by the Chief Engineer, Henry H. Howard, Raq., on bebaif of Americus Engine Company No. 6, in the fol lowing speech — Gentlemen, members of Hibernia Kagine Company broth er jiremen 0; Philadelphia—By an invitation (whieh I eon- siler a very flattering compliment) of Americus Engine Company No, 6, whose guests you are, and representihg the New York Fire ment, L greet you, and bid you weleome to our . ‘e have auxiously waited your ar rival, and are pi to receive you as you deserve to De reveived hy the firemen of this .

At precisely eight o'clock the line began to move, and No. 6, precedeed by the Board of Engineers as a special escort, passed im review, cach company falling in line as the Hibernia passed, marching four abreast through Broadway to the western gate of the Park, passing the front of the City Hail, where a pational salute was fired by the Live Oak Volunteers, under command of Cat.

John Motes The company were then escorted to the Thalian Hall, in Grand street, and enjoyod for some time the pleasures of the “festive board.’ Throughout the line of the proceasion the vtmert onthusiasm was manifested, and the several engine and hose companies’ houses were brilliantly iilu- Chinese lanterns and triamphal aches erected in banor of the Philadelphia Neveral other were prepared duly fired, and taken in this city, in consequence of their magnificence, have attracted considerable attention, but She display of lights and stominations last evening were fad could not fail to every ove who observed them with the feeling that, even in this branch of human acience there wae roo enh for ad vancement and City Intelligence.

After supper Captain Price pre sented to ex-Captain Roberts, in behalf of the Lindsey Bloee, an elegant and costly gold wateh and chain, as ® token of their appreciation of hie character and ability while for four years he was in command of the company. The speeches of both yentiomen were modest and in excel. lent taste and feeling. The report in several of the datly papers that the J.

ARRIVAL OF THE CALIFORNIA OVERLAND Mai. Heavy Ram Storm throughout Caltfornla— Interruption of Mining Operations—The Af fairs of Adama & Co—Basiness Dull—Re- celpts of Gold from Fraser River—News from the Whaling Fleet, dic., dice Sr. Lov, Nov. 20, 1858, ‘The Overland Mail arrived here this evening with San Francisco dates of the 25th uit. A beavy rain storm commenced there on the night of the ‘Zist, and extended throughout the State. In consequence of it, the miners had been driven from several of the river beds. Henry M.

Bince the sajling of the steamer on the 20th ult. busi- nees had been very dull in San Francisco, The jobbing demand for the country had, however, improved some- what, and the premature advent of the rainy season had imparted fresh confidence for the ensuing wintor busi- eas.

Col. Wright had returned from Walla Walia. Honolulu dates of the 7th of October had been received, giving more favorable accounts of the whaling flests than hac previously been reported. ‘The Opera in Brooklyn. ‘Last night the Academy troupe played opera for tho first time in Brook!yn. Tho event, as may be supposed, created quite a sensation in that music loving city, and although the price of seats was fixed as high as two do! lars, every part of the large hall of the Athenw-um was closely packed. The transformation effected in the ay. Peorance of the hall in the short space of twonty-four hours astonished those unacquainted with the expertness of stage carpenters and scene painters. A handsome pro. scenium, with richly ornamented wings, extended across the west end of the room, the stage being advanced about eight fect beyond the usual platform, an arrange- ment which of couree limited considerably the audience accommodation. Side and drop scenes, with a crimson curtain, foottights, and an area railed off in front for the orchestra, completed the usual theatrical accessories, at Jeast such portions of them as are in view of the public. Althongb, of course, but a miniature of the Academy machinery, the precision, finish and eleganee of all the arrangements showed that they had been contided w the practised hands of its artists. The programme consisted of the second act of the ’ the second act of “Lucrezia Borgix”” and theen ‘Serva Padroua.”” With such artists as Pisco zzanign, Florenza, Formes and Tamaro in. the principal parts, it is needless for us wo say that the first representation of opera in Brooklyn was such as 13 rarely witnessed in an initiatory experiment of this costly charac- ter. The reception of Mile. Piccolomini by the audience was unusually demonstrative for the Brooklyn people, who are rather cold in their appreciation of artists. In the “Figlia,” and in the quarrelling duet with Madame Siedenburg introduced in the ‘Serva Padrona,’’ she was encored in the most enthusiastic manner, Madame Gazzaniga, who | ite a favorite with tho Brooklynites, was also woriniy received. We bave never heard ber sing to greater. advantage than in the “Luerezia” on this occasion, Altogether, the en. tortainment war one of the most delightful and satis- factory that we have ever witnessed with so composite a me. The audience, at its close, gave expres. rion to their ratisia by repeated rounds of applause. ‘The “Nozze di Pig iN be produeed on Tuesday, in. stead of Monday next, the usuai Opera uight. ‘The reason of this is that most of the orchestra of the Academy being engaged at the New York Philharmonic, it was oasible to have & rehearsal of the Opera yesterday. Wi only one rehearral on Monday, of course it would not be possible to produce the piece In a satisfac way manner. On Thorstay next, Mr. Uliman, satiated with his expe riment of last night, proposes to give Opera Brook lyn. On this occasion the “Barber of Seville’’ will be given in full, it being found that the stage ari tet at the Athenmum work sufficiently well to justify the re- mp nape of an entire piece. The Brooklyn people will ve an opportunity of hearing, on this occasion, Madame Laborde, and of passing their own judgment ov the morits of that remarkable singor. Police Intelligence.

General Zaloaga made an imposing resistance, and lost four hundred of his soldiers, besides having @ large number wounded. The loss on the part of the liberals was comparatively small.

The liberal forces were concentrating about the capital with a force sufficient to render its capture inevitable. The whole republic, with the exception of the capital, is now in possession of the liberals.

THE FIRST GAME CON D—A DRAW BABLE. There was another large attendance at the Merchants’ Exchange last evening w witoess the continuation of the great telegraphic chess -mateh between New York aud Philadelphia. The progress of the game was watched eagerly, and the several moves were closely scanned on the chess boards scattered 1 the room, at which were gathered the outside chess plavers, who amused themselves by analysing the game as it progressed, and endeavoring to predict what the next moves would be on each side, Twelve moves were made on each side last night, and the game has reached its thirty first move, and there is a good prospect that one evening more will finish the partic. As it stands at present there is «very reason to believe the game will result ina ‘dead draw,”’ neither party being the winner, Of course, the slightert mistake or wrong calcniation on either side would lose the game to the party making it, but of that there is very little prospect. This result has been brought about by the extreme care and precision which have se far marked the moves on each wife. Neither party has risked anything or made any briltiamt sagpitice for the sake of position, for the game at no stage of ite progress would admit of it. In fact, it must be acknowledged that the game, while very instructing © a chess student, is rather ou cninteresting one to chess VERY PRo- the ; jeopardy.
