Quiroga into the citadel, and took possession of the city; but bearing that a force-of eight hundred French troops were near by he sallied out te meet them. They were mostly cavalry, commanted by a grandson of the famous Marshal Ney. Escobero unfoushed his troops, and on the advance of Ney his troopers met with such a fire that they were thrown into great confusion. By the desperate efforts of Colonel Ney, they were reformed and advanced twice, only to fre repulse. His loss was heavy, and he re- treated a short distance, That same day a column of nine hundred French infantry arrived and joined Ney, and Kescobedo withdrew before this superior force, in good order, with only a Joss of thirty men, Captain 't., of the United States army, who was re- turmmg from Saltillo, reports he was in Monterey the day snamiee fight, and he saw nearly two hundred wounded ‘brought in. After leaving Monterey be came up w lo’s forces at Conaloe. He says he has ‘bout twelve hundred men, in a good state of discipline d tolerably armed, though badly clothed. These men are quite different from Cortina’s men, or those of Ca- nales, as they seem regularly organized and with good system. Escebedo is very determined, and has no fears of ultimate success, He has two good batteries, well munitioneé, guns made by Ames, with the James shot and sh Most of Escobedo's men were armed with ‘erg ates though some have the smooth- -bore musket, bedo allows no plundering, but sub- sists his troops by duties levied on trains of merchandise which he allows to .

This Mr. Brown had the largest and most complete bee farm in the country. It numbered many hundred hives, and ‘was much admired by the Dominicans forthe superior system upon which it was conducted. The Spanish sol- 7 diers tore up his fences, cut down the coffee bush sand orange trees and destroyed his hives, out of mere spite and hatred to the Yankees, His grounds are now an almost impassable jungle, as no one has lived there since the Americans wore driven off.

CLOSING OF THE BRILLIANT SEASON IN THAT CITY—MATINER OF FAUST AND NIGHT PER- MANCE OY FRA DIAVOLO—GREAT ECLAT TO THE FINALE OF TH® SEASON—THE SEASON AT LOUIS- VILLE TO BEGIN ON MONDAY, ETC. Sr. Louis, Dec. 23, 1865. Grau’s opera season closed to-day with two perform- ances, Faust at a matinee and Fra Diavolo this evening. ‘The matineo performance presented no new features in the rendition of the opera. The cast was the same as before. It included Boschettt, Olgim, Avastasi and J. L. Brandini, all of whom acquitted themselves to the satisfaction of udience which was more attentive than plauditory, being nearly all ladies, and more select than numerous, The public here have not yet acquired a metropolitan passion for the matinee. It is an inatitu- tion at present only appreciated in small theatres. The eve of Christmas is not a favorable day for opera; for most of the population who were out of doors all were looking for Christmas presents and Christmas din- ners—the two material compliments of the season. For these reasons the house was not crowded, but there was an average attendance, The house in the evening was filled to its utmost capacity, standing room in dress circle included. Miss Lucy Simons was the Zerlina, Gazzapiga vol- unteered for Lady Alcash and played it admirably; Lotti sung Fra Diavola and got a most flattering reception. The “Serenade” was loudly encored. Orlandini was quite “at home inthe buffo part of Lord Alcash, amd. divided the house between laughter and gpplause. Miss Simons played the bed chamber scene with a great deal of natveé and wag applanded considerably. The artists were called before the curtain after each act. Indeed, the opera was well received throughout. Colletti and Sart: made two very excellent brigands “with very decided effect. Prominent among the audience was the tall form of General Sherman, who sat in the front row of the dress cirele. He was accompanied. by his daughter and Colo- nel Dayton, of his staff. He wore the uniform of his rank, and he appeared to enjoy the opera greatly, ap- Plauding all the morceaux. Quite a number of officers in uniform were to be seen in tho various parts of the house, which presented a splendid array of elegant and costly toilets, Grau bos nowftried the strength of bis company in two Western States—Ilinois and Missouri, Next week he will present them to the Kentuckians, in the city of Louis. ville. He commences on Monday night with Trovatore, The artists who are to sing in that opera—Noel Guid\, Cash Pollini, Muziani and Milleri—crosaed the ice bridge this.afternoon and took the train for Louisville. The rest‘of the company will follow to-morrow. Apropos of General Sherman in connection with bis visit to the opera, he has just been making a tour in Ar. Kansas, and expressed himself perfectly satisfied with the state of things there, He says that affairs aro going on well in that portion of bis military district, and he means to keep them so. He represents the people as greatly impoverished by the destruction by the armies of property during the war—in fact, as poor as they can bo without dying of want, but they are working quite contentedly to mend their conditions. All but a few poli- ticfans, who have lost caste under the new orfer of things, are satisfied with the abolition of slavery, and submit sensibly to the existing ccndition. Negro free labor is much in demand and bighly remunerative, the negroes getting their own prices and working choerfully. The General is of opinion that the tone of the Presi- dent's Message and the letter of General Grant wil! satisfy the whole South, except the old class of poli- ticians, who may still keep up agitation on tho abolition of slavery, because. a now class of mon ig into political plaes.which they tormerly monopolized The Genoral looks well, ang is véry busy with the affairs of the Department of the Mirs‘asippi.

The music: halls of London are very wel patronized; indeed they are crowded every day. During the weck which ended on the 3d of December two interesting selec- tlons—the one from Dinorah and tho othor {rom Gounod's Faus'—were performed at the Alhambra. The pro- gramme of the Metropolitan was also attractive, ‘Mr, Charles Hall is about to give a series of concerts in Bradford, England. ni Les Bergert, a new operetta, by Offenbach, was prom- ised at the Theatre Bouffos, Paris, at Christmas, During its rehearsal some of the apparatus of the clectric light exploded, wounding two. men and smashing up things in general.

After a first night it is impossible to give a determined opinion, but if a crowded house, a good re- ception at the beginning, constant calls, repeated after every act during the performance, and a perfect hurri- cane of applause at the fall of the curtain, mean any- theing, then La Signora Castri had a great success." Signora Grossi, an accomplished mezzo-soprano from the Italian stage, bas appeared in Paris as Orsini in Lncrevi M. Bagier contradicts ramor of any intention on his part to migrate, with his opera company, from Paris to Brussels. Verdi arrived in Paris December 1, to sxperintend the rehearsals of La Forra del Destino at the Opera. At a concert recently givon at Rome for the beneft of the families of those who had suffered from the cholera, Madame Piccolomini gave the assistance of hor talents and attracted a jarge crowd who'were anxtous to hear the celebrated songstress after eo long a retirement from public life. Madame Piccolomini sang twice, a romanza by Campana, “ Morir per te," and an air by Palloni, The public were enraptured, and applauded tho fair artist with onthasiasm. Mr. Ullman continues his series of ‘ Patti concerts’’ in the principal towns in Germany.

Only two variations ever occur in the programmes of the West End houses, « new drama being brought out at the Olympic and Ruy Blas being, at the Lycoum, substituted for The Watch Cry. The novelty at the Olympic consists of a version of Miss Hraddon's novel, ‘“Honry Dunbar.” The porformances at Drury Lane, the Haymarket, Adelphi, Princess’, St, James’, Ftrand and Prince of Wales’ theatres are identical with those last noticed. At the New Royalty Miss Moirabel appeared as Portia, in The Merchant of Venice, Mr. Ryder playing Shylock, and Mr. H.

This event, as recorded in the gospels, is mnocessury to explain the results that followcd Him. The advent of Christ ts do- manded, ¥ it wag ge ep by tots need, el find no capacity of man wnicl not something answering to eteo desire which has not something to satisfy it, I find in man a strong desire to burst the bonds of flesh and sense, I cannot for a momeut bellevo that the reve- lations of God were confined to the Jews, and from them have como to the Christians; that that vast swarm of humanity outside of what we call the palo of revetation was ontiroly neglected of God. To the Greek, for in- ftance, wag the tn! of truth and. beauty; to the Roman, tho mission of law and civil organization. But I rocognize above all the mimsion to ths Jew, to rece.vo and hold fa t tho idea of oue God. But if the vail had rent over tho whole carth and the truth flashed upon all that thero.is one only God, what good would this have dong bad not another mingled with it? For mon, dimly sounding on the way of their speculations of nature, have arrived at the conclusion that there waa a God, as many of the heathens did But man needed a Saviour, not merely a teacher, He needed help. Ho was ovet whelmed by the power of bis own evils Man wanid a Saviour to lift bim up out of his and pinck him+ from’ the —bond- age of Ids iniquity. We recognize and celebrate at this season the personal coming of Christ. But it is quité as, as important to exporicnce and recognize another ,ad- vent, whjch we may cal! axpritual‘advent. This ‘ad- ventiakes place in our own souls. When His truth takes possess.on of our minds, when His law is supreme | f our spirits, when His Divine life aud love tive in all our hearts—when we have felt thia, then the pro- clarnation may come to ns individually—“Unto you is Dorn this day a Sevieur, whick is Christ the Lord.” He poe spoke of the historical advent. Christ comes in ‘om ploy ote d nd ry aa er ge a8 -the ‘re c rh A wherever right, wherever trath, wherever good- oo as trpeeeb of Fi oy id Ot tho coming tn} istiavity av 9 Chriet. Christ has come in our national afflictions He has come through the darkness and thick sthoke of our civil war, Christ has come in the Jubilee toué that to us every chain bas been loosed, and makes the Pacific rourmur to the Atlantic, ‘Peace on earth and good will men.’ He closed by exhorting his hearors to b> sine re in their worship, and iu their rejoicing not to forget charity. Discourse by Rev. Dr. Schoff. SENTIMENTS GERMANY AND SWITZERLAND TOWARD THE UNITED STATES. Af address was delivered last evening in Rev. Dr. Adams’ church, Madison square, by Rev. Dr. Schoff. The lecturer isa native of Switzerland, but a citizen of the United States, who visited his native land recently, und his observations from a religious view while in Europe were the theme of his discourse, He said all who visit the old continent generally return better Ameri- cans. While in Europe the speaker lectured frequently om the recent struggle in the United States, laying prom- inently before his audiences the fundamental principles of the war for the Union. These audiences were the most intelligent, perbaps, in the world, and were in Ger- many and Switzerland. He did not find an intelligent Protestant in Switzerland who did not warmly sympa- thize with as in the war, and fully understood the great estion involved in it. In Germany the party of which Bismark, is the head was exceedingly touchy upon the subject of the American war, aud did not aympathixe with us; but this party is’ @ small but rful anity was eh minority, reoelving im many cases their only {deas from reflections of the London press in that of the aristocracy of Germany. From these he learns that the suco-ss of the republic in the struggle would be the downfall of monarchy in Europe, or, as they call it, the downfall of “order.” One of them said to lim that if the Union ‘was restored the effect on Europe would be worse than the triumph of the Revolution, which, he said, produced the great French Revolution.” But the great heart of Germany—the masses, the republicans—are and were all on our side firmly, and showed the'r confidence by taking $200,000,000 ur bonds. The Emperor of France is known to have sympathized far more activel, with tho South than did the government of Englan ‘Tho death of Mr. Lincoln did a good deal to perplex the reactionists of Europe, by showing the trae animus of the demen of slavery and rebellion, Mr. Lincoln is pow regorded as a martyr, and a great mat who will hervafter be named next only to Washington, He is looked upon as a second Moses, who delivered four millions of the black race from ¢. The Fureign Minister of Prussia actunt!| delivered a lecture in favor of eiavery during the 4 hon, upon which the reverend genticman took occasion to deliver a locture upon the monstrosity of human slnvery, in which he showed that whatever might be said upon the subject, It could never be defended upon any principle of justice, and ent upon the debasing effect of the system by referring Fort Pillow, Belle Iaie, Libby, Andersonville and other pli the very mention of whose bainos suggested a gy of une paralleled horrors. He ied to give the lino of argument pursued fn thi when he conéiided, the large audience burst out with enthusiastic applause, and with ove grand chorus sung the Doxology.

Upton and George B, Upton, Jr., sole owners of said ship, do enter our solemn protest against the destruction thereof, and do by these Presents demand of the government of Great Britain foll reparation for the same in the sum of eighty thou- sand dollars of the coin of the United States, being the value of said ship and freight at the time of her destruction. Your memorialists would further represent that they make and predicate this protest and demand upon the facts hereinafter stated, which can be verified whenever it shall be found necessary so to do. Said vessel calling herself “the Confederato States man-ot-war Alabama” is an English vessel and no other. She was built at the port of Birkenhead, and was allowed to leave Britixh waters, although information as to her character, aud the intention to use her as_a privateer to prey upon the commerce of the United states, then and now at peace with Great Britain, was lodged with the British covern- ment. That said steamer Alabama (then called the ‘€ 290") was allowed to leave said rs upon giving a bond to return, which it was well known was intended to be forfeited. That she did leave the waters of Groat Britain the latter part of July, 1862, under the protec tion of the British flag, and manned by British subjects, ‘That had the American man-of-war Tuscarora or any other legally authorized man-of-war of the United States seized her ufter leaving said British waters, she would have cinimed her British ownership and Ler flag as her protection. But said steamer was allowed to leave port under the protence-of making a trial trip, and has never been in any port of the so-called Confederate States, BORS "9 change her flag or to be otherwise than a British veusel. Your memorialists would further represent that raid steamer, after thus fraudulently leaving the ports of “Great Britain against the Quoen’s imation of neu- trality, repeatedly visited or came within the jurisdiction of certain Brith islands in {he Atlantic Ocean, when and where it was well known and patent to the workt that she had destroyed A: nm the bi and nt os mio oJ were und to ‘ese wlloersd every feet Tor ootatnlny end ination made gaid Briti Qe ame ami was ever et tah gore through thete evartiwted as to manning of ald steamer British sal or of the rostitution of the British by thus =D Lali od othe piracies committed under its i that she wasand has continued tobe-until after the jure of r memorialists’ ship Nora principally by sald ish subjects, In view of these matters, and of others which may be made to appear, your memorialists do now and forever ent r their solemn protest against the British govern- mont and people, as willing partics benny A culpable in the destruction of their rty upon the high seas, and thns in first violating the proclamation of the Queen by building and manning said steamer, and thon allow- “ her to continue Ler gaye nd they ask, throagh the government of the United States, that a proper representation may be mado of their loss, that in the end due reparation may be made to them by the said Pathe la of Great Britain, or that tho government of the United States may assume the game af one of the governmental obligations A ad tho bo py of their citizens, thus wantonly violated, as in duty bound will ever . 7 bound will ever OS.

Your peti- toners are powerless in themselveé to enforce their claims. In time of peace a war spon American commerce was made by subjects of Great Britain, a numbor of vessels Maviog, been fitted out in ber ports for that ,One of these pirates, the po cara | y.t of her authoritics a1 rs by their connivance, left her ports, and in a w hours thereafter assumed a flag new tothe world, for tho purpose of pro: yy unarmed American commerce, She never port of the so called Confederate States, whose flag affected 10 wear—a which derived all its power on the ocean from Great jain herself—and, under the construction given by the government of that country to its own neutrality laws, she could return to the ports and protection of that nation within @ few hours after leaving them She de stroyed American commerce by burning ships on the high seas, Without adjudication of the same by any legal pr.20 court; and, after committing said illegal acts, was re- ceived into British ports with all the honora of war—wan recruited and refreshed in, and allowed to leave without hindrance and to pursue her mefarious occupa. tion, as in the destruction of your petitioners’ ship Nora. Your potitioners are further rained to believe that the Britiah government allowed its captdity to over-nde all considerations of national bonor and law—acting under the deinsive idea that the Ameripan Upion was virtually destroyed, and that the American government was not then, nor ever would be, in a situation to protect the in- terosts of its citizens; and rightly judging that in the successful destruction of American comtuerce millions of wealth would thus be thrown into the bands of its own su Beheving, as your petitioners do, that nations are re. sponsible which, urough the want of neutrality laws, oF of the proper and enforcemont of such aa do oxist, give their support and sanction to piracies com mitted by vessels built, manned and fitted out in their own porta, and thus allow their subjects to make war 4 those of other nations in time of peace; and be- Heving that no immediate compensation can be obtained by them from the British government; knowing, more- over, they were in no wise in fault that their property was illegally destroyed, they can only, as « last resource, petition their own government to pay them the value of their eaid ship Nora at the date of her destruction, and charge the same to the government which permitted the outrage, GEO.

During the Cri mean war certain British Consuls in this country had their exequaturs revoked for enlisting men here contrary to law. Some of these officials have been pensioned by their government, ‘and one of them, G, B.

Since the arrival in Borneo of Captain C. Lee Moses, of Saco, Maine, United States Consul General, matters begin to assume a business appearance, and Northern Borneo, which is the richest part of that island, is mow engaged in collecting the many valuable products of her soil, The trade formerly was contined alone to the English people, and matters were so snugly ar- Tanged that but one American ship ever came here. But mark the change. Captain Moses, our Consul, proceeded to Brunai, and with the guns of a British Merchantman (in which vessel he took passage to that Port) he saluted the Sultan, and received a proper salute im return, What passed between the Sultan and the Consul is not known; but, nevertheless, only tea or we da Aare Clapeed - before the oye paid se Lge nd (which is thirty miles from Bru exhibited the great seul of tie Sultan and Prime Minister Fumongon to the ownership of four hundred miles sea coast by sixty miles inland (two thousand four hundred miles in extent), a country of mitlions Picule of gutta percha, rubber, lee sandal * other very valuable woods; bird nesta, the fine camphor, the Maloodoo tin sireama, which produce @ i ou- porior article of sand, containing from 15 to 85 cont, clear tin; the Amboug coal aioe, 8 better oa more compact coal than that of Labuan, and hamlior to ‘work, being very near the sea, He also’has the fine harbors of Amboug and Maloodoo, which permits a draft of. three fathoms at low water at Amboug, und four fathoms, low water, at Maloodoo.

Condition of the South Carolina Rall- rouds. {From the Charleston South Carolinian, Dec. 20.) It is just possible that there are persons in the world who, looking rather to their own desires than to the re- sources of the count re disposed to find fault with our Tuilroads generally, for not making better speed to com- letion, Enough for these captious citizens, if we rom the very best authority, our own, that the prest- dents have béen doing all that they possibly could, under the circumstances sitid conditions of the country” Most of these railroads hang together by a mutual system of dependency. They have need to work together for the mutual exercise of locomotive powers. Little could be done for either without foreign help, and accordingly the residents of most of our roads have been compelled to look to the North for te necessary helps and agencies. We have seen the presidents, Magrath, of the South Care- lina, and Johnson of the Charlotte, and Perrin of the Greenville roads, ail ‘sweating under their fardels’? at Columbia, at the first beginning of the work after the couutry had been Shermunized. Since thes we have seen them at New York, still undor a sweat to up steam. They have at length done so successfully. Magrath’s road, the South Carolina, now carries passem- gers to Hamburg, on the route to Augusta, some fifwen miles from Branchville. This lessens the wi ing dis- tance to Johnston's Turnout, where you in take the railroad to Augusta. On the Columbia branch you now make your way by rail to Hampton's, about six miles from Columbia.
