Panama, Sept. 12, 1866, 4 ROW BREWING IN COLOMBIA. Tho fort t's intelligence just received from Bogota reassures us that the boundary question existing be- tween this country and Venezuela will be amicably arranged. The troops that were ordered to the frontier have been recalled, and friendly intercourse, momenta- rily interrupted, has boen resumed between the two gov- ronments. Yet, although foreign relations are pacific in their character, things seems to tend towards domes- tic trouble. The authorities of several States have ab- rogated the orders lately tasued by Mosquera, and (breaten to resist any attempt to enforce them, as un- constitutional and contrary to the rights and authority of the local governments, THK NEW RAILWAY Across the isthmus) from Alanje was much talked of in ‘Bogota The terms of contract with the company bad ‘been published, and it appears that very favorable con- cossions have ween made by the Colombian government. If the project is carried out it may be hoped that the Good faith will not be violated on tho latter side, as we have frequently known it to be in dealings with the Panama Ratlroad Company. No other intelligence of importance is embraced in the batch of news, QUERY euma, of the Sandwich Islands, arrived on tho isthmas, by the steamer New York, on the 9th inst, Al- thangh it wae knowm hours tefarchand in Panama ‘hat she would cross the isthmus during the day, no preparations whatever were mate to receive her. Upon the arrival of tho train tho British Consul unofficially presented himnelf, but it was aot until the Queen expressed a wish to drive through ‘Panama that he had the preseuce of mind to send for o earriago—which reached the depot after having kept the voya) party waiting in the cars for half an hour. Tho entire party was crowded into a single vehicle; and, in @ manner any way but dignified, was driven to the Brit- {zh Consulate, where it remained for some hours, until shings were placed in readiness for the reception on board the California ship, At five o'clock P. M., the Queen muite Were convoyed aboard the Sacramento, where they at once found themselves more comfortably altuated; and where the American Consul and various naval officers on duty here were presented and gracious! received. At nine o'clock the parting salute was fi and immediately afterward the steamer, flying the Hawaiian ensign, sped gallantly on ber way. THR IsTHWUB, President Mosquera has ordered the troops, some four bundred in nuraber, now serving in this st to be dis- Danded tmmediately; but the Governor counter- manded the order upon the ground that they are State troops, and as such are subject only to the orders of the State government. The President contemplated sendin; # battalion of regulars to Panama, and, as a matter ot course, as soon as ho receives the irreverent reply of the Governor, he will hurry hd their movements with the object of enforcing his authority here, THUR PANAMA LYGISLATURR was convened on the 1St Instant. That body, after ite ‘organization, at once proceeded to announce the election of Olarte as Governor of tho Btato, and the inauguration of tne latter official immediately followed. It is whispered around that a scheme is on foot ‘among the public men which has for its object the separation of the State government from the Cotombian confederation, and the erection of an inde- Pendent nation, embracing the country and people from hirigui to the Isthmus of Darien. A movement of this Kind, if prosecuted to a successful termination, would effectually change the statas of affairs on this neck of \and—materiaity affecting the interests of nations, pass- ing their goods and merchandise across the road, and entailing the railway and ite appurtenances upon the State, Instead of the gencral government, as we have heretofore anticipated. However, speculation upon the subject is vain. If the refractory politicians of this country assert boretical doctrine of secession, ‘os- f pride, if not of policy, must neces- is authority against the movement. ATISPACTION AT MACKENNA'S VESSEL, We have dates from Valparaiso to the 17th of August, that the principal object of the loan lately contracted was to pay for tho ships of war purchased by the Chiiian agents abroad. Two of them, the Henriette and Ne @annock, have already arrived at Valparaiso; the first is an excellent despatch boat, but the latter turns out to be no better than an ordinary transport, possessing great speed and good accommodations, but in no other way adapted to war purposes. This’ disappointment gives rise to grave accusations against the government for not having provided the country with a formidable squadron.

He has been mixed up with nearly every revolution that Peru has had for several years, and has no little influence in that repub- lic. The decision of his case is looked forward to with moch interost, ARRIVAL OF A WAR VES*EL FOR THM CRILEAN SERVICF, The Neshannock, a new steamer for Chile, arrived at Valparaiso a few days ago, and is to be inspected to-day by a commission composed of Admirals Salcedo, Blanco and Tucker. Tha voseel was built in Philadelphia during the rebellion for our servioe, but the war terminating just as she was completed she was changed {nto a merchant steamer and put on the line between New York and New Orlear She is of 1,700 tons, 240 feet long, 38 t beam, 26 feet deep and 16 fect draught} She has three decks, and is pronounced capable of making sixieen knots an hour, She is intended to carry twenty gun, but no one seems to know of wl alibre, She will be armed, if accepted by Chile, with somo of the heavy guns now on the way here from the United States, said to be already at Panama, There ts, however, some doubt about the vessel being taken by the Chilean government. The press of Valparaiso has found a great deal of fault with her, some of the papers declarine her to be totally unfit for war purposes, and the commission which examines the ship 0-day will probably determine whethor she is to be accepted or net. Considerable correspondence has been going on between Mr. Vicuna McKenna and others, on the subject of bis selection of -uch a ship, but it lias not been proved yet that she is altogether unsuitable for a war steamer. OTHER WAR VESSYLS EXPECTED. Three other n¢w ships—the Isabella, Poncas and Cher- okee—are expected here soon. The Republica, of San- tiago, thus describes them:— Tho Isabella is an iron ship of 900 tons, very swift and very low, presenting a small target to an enemy's shot. She was con- structed in Glasgow, in 1861, for navigating the northern seas, Her machinery is very power ul, and cost over $100,000, Hor first name was the Giraffe, and during the war in the United Siates she was em ployed to run the blockade between the Bermudas and the rebel ports. She ran the blockade twelve times, in spite of the vigilance of the cruisers, but was finally captured, The United States government armed her with nine guns, and under the name of Fort Donelson she participated in the attack upon Fort Fisher, fa which she was unharmed. She was sold afterwards and pur- ‘ouse In Baltimore, who placed her on the sana with the name of Isabella, She had made two voyages bofore being purchased by Chile, The Poncas { unboat, built by the United States during the war, and has all the requisites of a ship-of- war. ‘he is a wooden ship of five hundred and seven tons, and has a deck extending from bow to stern and capable of carrying heavy guns. In the war she was distinguished under the name of Scioto, and took part in the attack upon Mobile under Admiral Farragut, sbe has seven guns, one a one hundred pounder. Her speed ig about nine knots an hour, Tho Cherokee ia a vessel of 606 tons, and isextremely swift and compact. She had six cannon during the war, and sho did | ged service. Her machinery is of the first order. All these vessels are marked tm the United States Naval Register of 1864."" PRESIDENT PEREZ SUPPORTED RY THE PEOPLE, The apprehensions of a revolution in Chile, to which I have bad occasion to reter in several of my letters, have entirely subsided, and President Perez's wanaiwing {he mmnateneart we is arid respecting different political parties, and the coun- try is devoting itself to progresa and defence, undis- turbed by dissensions or party sity. BUSINESS AND INTRRNAI NTS. Agriculturists are looking forward to a renewed activ- ily in the far gre gre of grain and other products, and those engaged in mining b gg are preparing for more extens!' hipmonts of ores, Railroads are being extended into now agrieultural and mining districts, and telegraph lines are being put up in various parte of the republic. The ject. of constructing a tele- graph from Panama through Peru and Chile to Buenos Ayres is still under consideration, with an en- couraging prospect of beng out in & short time.

Nothing new has transpired respecting the finances of Chile since my last letter. The four anda half million loan bas been taken by the banks, and the ment 1s easy so far as funds are concerned. Specie circulates freely, and bilisof the National Bank remain at par. Trade is reviving in Valparaiso, and arrivals of vessels are increasing in number. Most of these, however, be- long to the West Coast, But one has arrived from the United States, the British brig , Captaia Ken- brick, 105 days from Boston. ‘My @ vessel comes in trom the East Coast or from Europe, but tho latter instances are very rare. GENERAL KILPATRICK AGAIN. Tho last mail from the United States brought tt. tions of the slanderous 8 ting the private conduct of Goneral Kilpatrick, our Minister to chile. A complote refutation of those calumnies has already been sent from here, and it would be un to refer to the subject again were it not for ibe persatency with which two or three individuals are casing the falsehoods to be kept before the public, As T intimated two weeks ago, the author of the malicious charges will be exp. sed im a very short time, together with his motives for aesailing General Kilpatrick, volumnious evidence on that subject having boen offered by the American resi- dents here, to be forwarded to the od ai It is significant that these reports apy at the very time when the Gen ral’s name was mentioned in Now Jersey in connection with Congress. Every one ac- quainted with General Kilpatrick's conduct in South America knows the charges to be false, and their ori, is so well understood in Chile that ‘the subject haa altogether ceased to be mentioned bere.

Sayriago, Chilo, August 13, 1806, GRAND CONCERT BY GOTTSCHALK. Last night Gottschalk, tho great American pianist, gave his grand concert of three hundred and fifty must- cians, reference to which has beon made {n several of my previous letters, He had already given fourteen concerts here, the crowd increasing each time, and at ench of which he received beautitul wreathes, Somo of these teatimonials were very rare and costly, especially those given by the artists, the municipal authorities and the lady managers of the charitable institutions, for the latter of which Gottschalk gave several benofita, The announcement of a festival of three hundred and fifty musicians made by Gottschalk, six weeks ago, found many skeptics, as such a largs number of performers seemed impossible to be found in Santiago, Fora month and 4 half he worked eighteen hours a day, He taught every band and musician, and had partial rehearsals every day. The time fixed for the festival drew near, and yet the result seemed doubtful, At last a general rehearsal was announced, The Archbishop, his clergy, the deacons of the cathedral, three hundred and filty Seminarists, and all the priests were invited. The re- hearsal was to begin at half-past seven o'clock, and at five the crowd began to assemble on the plaza, in front of the theatre, and intercepted all the lateral streets, A-CHILRAN CROWD. As the hour for commencing approached, the apectaclo ‘was most intoresting. Every one wished to get in, and a genteol scuffle ensued, the excitement becoming 80 sreat that threats were made to tear down the doors. Sold'ers and police were seut for, and not until nine o'clock were the musicians enabled to get into the build- ing. The success was great, much greater than could have been anticipated; but, complete as it was, it was surpassed by that of the next evening, when the Grand Feetival took place, The superb theatre was crowded to excess, every box, nook and corner being filled by caer spectators. The President's box was ocoupied by hie family and the diplomatic corps, and the whole building was beautifully decorated and illuminated, ‘THY PERFORMANCE. The firat part of tho performance was composed of a comédieity, represented by a native dramatic company. ‘The second consisted of thi jec*s, performed by Gotts- chalk. These were loudly jauded, and each of them received an encore, Then followed an interval of half an hour, during which time, the curiain belng down, Gottschalk mustered his little army in the follow ng order:—On a high platform in the rear of the stage wero eighty basatubos, trombonee and saxhorns (the heavy artillery); and in the centre, on another pace, wore eighty corneta, horns, bugles, &c. On the wings were thirty-four violina, twelve double bassos, eight violoncel- los, four flutes, four oboes, ten clarionets, &c. In the front and centre were forty drums. As the curtain rose, the anxtety and impationce of the audience was marked on every face. Notasound was to bo heard in the im- mense audience and not an cye wandered from the gor- geous xpectacle presented by the uniforms and instru- ments on the stage. The first part of tho festival con- sisted of a “Coronation March.” This was followed by the “Symphony of the Tropica’ and the ‘Hunt of Kiog Henrv,” tho affair terminating with a “Grand Solemn March,’ dedicated to Chile. Of thesymphony “Night in the Trosics” I should like to speak at length. It was beautiful in every sense, and would exhaust the vocabu- lary of technicalities in doscribing its distinctive mer- its, It was written in the modern romantic style, not uite Richard Wegnerish, as the ideas of Gottschalk are ‘resher and more Clear than those.ef the eccentric musl- cian of the future,’’ but equal to the works of that “Novator” ag far as the instrumentation and novel effects are concerned. The latter part of the symphony was 68] lly deserving of mention. Ite object is to depict the dawn of day, when the violins eccompany with a goft mysterious tremolo the principal melody heard bagi ce the chord formod by horns and bass clarionets, producing a most poetical and impressive effect. The solemn march, dedicated to Chile, {s marvoliously effective, and produced such an enthusiasm that I shal! not attempt to give an ides of its peculiarities. One of the papers editorlally eays:—*‘fhe theme of that march will henceforth be adopted by the republic of Chile, as ite national anthem, and in a cen- par ern a Aabrea RE Bie the siminent Hence Marat it rough that imporishable token, given im to ‘Chil learn alao to love and admire the name of Gottechalk, the patriot, the philanthropist, and the inspired com: poser, OVATION TO GOTTTSCHALE. But the great ovation took place when Gottschalk left the theatre. All the bauds, including over two hundred musicians, formed io line, and as soon as Gottschalk ap- red at the door of the theatre struck up the national ymn of Chile, accompanied by forty drame and fifty bogies. ‘Viva Gottschalk,'’ was heard on all sides, and deatening cheera rose from the throng which filled the square and enveloped the theatre. A pro- ceasion was soon formed headed by the bands, and also preceded by the late Secretary of Siate, Colonel fo, with Gottschalk on bis right, and Senor Mc ir of Schools, on his loft. Sev- icKenaa, eral thousand citizens Joined the procession, and para- ding through the principal streets escorted Gottschalk to his whore the onthusiasm become indescribable, Gottact ‘was lifted over the heads of the crowd, em- braced, pulled into his room end then out again, and finally, to quiet the calla for a speech, was borne in the arms of several gentlemen to a window, whore be wag greeted by the cruwd with deafening cheers. THR COONOIL GIVE MIM A GOLD MEDAL, ‘The next day the Intendente of the government of Santiago officially notified Gottechalk that by a decree of the council! he would be presented with a gold medal as 8 testimonial of their admiration for his genius and phi- lanthropy. Thin ae & paper announces that a sub- scription has been sta by tl Re | men of the city for the purpose of decorating Gottschalk with a diamoad Chilean star. A univerasl domand has been made for ‘@ repetition of the festival, and it is understood that Gottschalk will give another entertainment of the kind in a short time. ‘THE REPORTS ABOUT COTTSOMALK IN BAN FRANCIKCO, I cannot noglect at this time to add my denial to cer- ta.n slanderous charges made against the pianist in Cal!- since. I have not mot with Cs winter, who has not pronounced the accusation which was paraded in some of the Calitornia false in every reapect. The ovations paid to him in San Fran- cise, Lima and in Chile were of the most flattering de- seription. In each of these places Le was treated with the highest consideration by the most select familics, none of whom have given credence to the calumnious reports olroulated by his personal encmies, None who have over known him can be convinced of his comuait- ting such offences as those charged against him.

Your readers are no doubt aware that this taland, hke other countries, has its freemasons. Thore are, it ap- penrs, various lodges here, and thoy are not always pre- cisely d’accord one with the other. Be this as it may, tho Other day a notice or deciaration was signed by one hundred and four freemasons, and printed for distribu- {fon among others of the brotherhood. In any other country it would be too commonplace an incident to at- tract any notice whatever; but here, whore any congre- gatton or meeting of more than a certain number of indl- viduals is not pormitted, excepting in special cases, or for business purposes, and where, moreover, no papers or circulars are allowed to be printed without special leave (rom the authorities, the abovo circumstance has drawn more than ordinary attention; and for more than one reason, especially so because tho document referred to was signed, and by no less a number than one hundred and four members; and yot the authorities have taken RO notice of it. Some le consider thia rather signif- oant, attributing that leniency to divers reasons—as, for instance, their number, and the fact of many of the members being of the best class of society—Cubans, Spaniards and foreigasrs. Some will have It that Geo, Dulce ia @ Freemason, and for aught we know he may be. Tho nature of the declaration or notice alluded to not being generally known people aro liable to miscon- true dts true purpose; but, as far as ws can ascertain, the contents are simply for the purpose of acquainting othor members that the signers no longer adhered to guch one or other lodge or section of the brotherhood. RPFRCTS OF THE QUARANTINE UPON HAVANA TRADR, To see tho effects of Lee potent one has only to walk along the wharves convince bimself what a number vessels from the United States have kept away and could fill up afl the open room. The informa- tion we have, however, is that the quarantine will be entirely removed, unles the cholera reporta. from New York particularly, should compel the Health Board to detormine otherwise, Our markets are quite out of their normal state, owing to this deteated quarantine, Most of the vessels which had accumulated at Mariel having been released, the réaction, particularly in the produce and lumber markets, has been sudden, and con- sequently severely felt, and it will take a tong time be- foro the equilibrium will be recovered, not only in prices of goods, but also in the rates of exchange, froights, Ac.

Yesterday was the most important of the holy feast days, or, more properly speaking, fast days in the Jewish calendar, Whatever larity may be indulgod in with regard to other days, the Feast of the Atonement is held by all of the Hebrew faith as sealed with a sanc- tity that is held inviolable, The canon of the church, however, gives to invalids, young children and women in pregnancy an immunity from the rigors of the outward forme, The Hebrew Church, tn ite primi tive organization, existlug under Mosaic law, in the fulness of its letter hada great namber of these fenst days, very many of which in modern timos have bees @ropped. ANNUAL TRASPS. ‘There are now six annual feasts to be observed ; two of them—viz: the Feast of the Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles—occur during this month. Among tho Jows the civil year differed from the ecclesiastical year in the time of its beginning, so that ‘the month of Tisri, answering to the latter past of September and the former part of October, and in which the two feasts montioned occur—which was the first month of the civil year—was the seventh of the canoni- cal. Besides the civil and canonical or ecclesiastical the Jews formerly had the Year of Plants aad which began in Shebat, or January; the Year of which on the first of Elul, or August; the ‘ich was every seventh year; the of Jubilee, which was every soventh Sabbatic Year, and consequently occurred once in forty-nine years; and the Prophetic Year. Those all had their sigaificance.
