Burning of Santiago Theatre—Polltical Movemonts—Prepagandiam in Chile. . VALPARAIBO, Dec. 10, 1870, ‘The only event of interest that has occurred here during the past week was the burning of the mag- Diticent theatre of Santiago on the night of the 8th Mmstant. This building was erected in the year 1860 by thy municipality ofthe capital, aided largely with fwace by the govcrnment, a& & cost of more than $600,000, aud was beyond dispute the duest theatre 1d South America. Oapable of holding nearly 5,000 Dersons, it has been the scene of triumph for some Of the most distinguished perfurmers on the stage. On the evening in question Miss Qarlotta Patt had achieved another of her gre@t suocemies in bile, The house had been nearly filled, and the audience had hardly left the building when @ strong smell of gas beoanie very perceptible, The manager and employéa immediately slit off the supply of gas and no attention to the source of the odor for more than an hour, when it becawe ne cessary, OD account of its increasing strength, to investigate the cause. Imprudently venturing be- low the stage with a naked light, the manager sud- dently became aware of hia danger by a violent ex> plosion, and providentially escaped with but slight contusions. The gas ignited by the lantern spread in flames all over the theatre, and in a few moments it was found impossible toenter the main body of the edifice, Although the most vigorous exertions were made by the firemen and Police to subdue and extinguish the conflagration, in two hours the beautiful thoatre was a mass of ruins, and, unfortunately, several lives were lost in the vain attempts. It is rather a coincidence that this disaster occurred on the anniversary of the burning of the church of the company in December. 1863, 0n the religious anniversary of which event occurred also the dangerous accident in another church, the facts of which were given in my last letter. The . government has already signifiea its in. tention building the theatre without loss of time, and a company has been formed to construct @ smaller ifice of ike aescription for the use of the poorer and working classes. The chandelier in ithe theatre just destroyed is said to have been io America, having more than 2,500 lights. ‘The inhabitants of Re capital, always viewing the building with pride, re almost inconsolable over its loss, amd some of their manifestations of grief, in try and prose, are rather more ridiculous than affecting, An effort ‘was made to add @ romantic shade to the jai by endeavoring to prove that some Chilean Timon, envious of the enjoyment of his fellow beings, in- au} the gratlfymg amusement of placing quan- ire in different portions of the build- uting them; but to the disappoint- ment of a number of newspaper readera the origin of pie fire [i Ausorered efore the fames assumed serious proportl Se ae ol pes done nothing during the course of the last week save waste valuable time in discuss- ing the mode in which some railway loans were made in England.

Hence the discussion, brought about by some of the oppo- sition party, for she sole purpose of bringing their names more prominentiy before i@ = pub- lic, with an ulterior view towards the com- ing elections, The committees appointed to Bel candidates for the Presidency have not ag yet been abie to arrive at any satisfactory conclu. ston, It is {magined that by the 1st of January next fhe favoyttes of the different parties will be made Sd We pudlic, ane thep that the campaign begin in gdod eal Wicks ered Bible Bocisty, Mery ages neg Ae striba' a here praciicable, of the Holy Selous tf ul ass eontly been’ loud m its cowplalnts against the clergy and laws of the repub- lie.

Congressional Affairs— Railwaye— Chancay and Lima~Tacna’ aud Bolivia~Arequipa— Bolivian News—Tue Revolution. Liata, Dec. 22, 1870. Owing principally to the fact that Congress, the great centre of poittical interest and attraction, 1s still busily oocupied in settling the sums to be ex- pended by the nation during the next two years, the wirepuller3 and would-be statesmen of the re- public have had rather a lazy time for the last two weeks. No opportunity has been given for the exer- cise of their dangerous talents and tastes, and the people regard the situation with the greatest complacency and content. As 4 Peruvian dignitary remarked a tew days since, It appears that the country has been aroused from its long period of quietism and decadence by we whistle of the locomotive, and that revolutien- ary Weapons and ideas have been entirely eclipsed by the new features of theodolites, levels and logarithms, And this seems to be a true con- clusion, The policy of President Batta has been so marked from the date of lis accession to power, his known determination to crush, revolution at any sacrifice, his firm will, and his power to carry out tus design, have not failed to produce the desired effect, If the country can manage to secure two mere years of peace and tranquility, and such good fortune does not appear improbable, Pera will be second to no country m south America in material progress and improvement, Opening the interior by the different lines of railway, the great dofect, the ignorance of the Indian population, can be remedied, .and this large portion of Peru brought to the same degree of perfection aud intetiigence as muy be now found in the coast towns. Such has been the prevailing ided of this administration, and those who ao not now ackuewledge the merits and venefits of such a plan sooi will be forced to con fess thelr error. On the 17th inst. the formal inauguration of the Lima and Huache Railway, as far as the town of Chancay, forty-cight mnies from Lima, took place. Huacho, a beautiful viliag@on the coast, about one hundred miles aistant, has been for a long tine the market garden of the capital, and In the cenwwe Of & very fertile and extensively cuiti- vated district of the republic. Some of the largest cotten and sagar estates in Peru are situated there, and the railway expects to derive its principal profits from the transportation of these products, tie carriage by sea to Callao being. very expensive aud troublesome, After & solemn blessing of the locomotives and trains of the company by tie Bishop uja, the President, his Ministers, the diplomauc und a number of other persons proceeded to La oe Rede ae the road otters nothing of particalar interest, bat, passing that dis- tance, tt 1s safe to gay that thls railway ls probably the inost untque tn the world.

A STOLEN CERTIFICATE. ses, but Importance of Correct Advertising Taught in One Lesson for $500, Gold, A Curious Story with a Curious Denonoment, Showing the Curious Quirks of the Law. On November 14, 1866, 8 United States Treasury certificate of deposit for $5,000 in gold was stolen from Messrs. Verhuven & Knoblauch, bankers, 38 Exeohange place. Handbills setting forth this fact were printed on the day of the robbery and duly distributed among the banks and banking Institu- tions and brokers of the city. Advertisements were likewise published in the papers, and the Sun- Treasury was also notified of the robbery. The printed announcements stated that a United States Treasury gold check for $5,000, No. 22,127 C, had been stolen, instead of a gold cértificate for this amount and of this number and lettering, In Jann- ary, 1867, the stolen certificate was presented at the Manufacturers’ National Bank to be changed, tao party presenting it stating that he came from Brown‘ Brothers & Co., m the same bulld- ing; that be was purchasing a bill of exchange and they could not change it, and had sent him there.to have it changed. Five $1,000 cer- tiflcates were given for it. On the succeeding Mon- day the certificate was presented at tho Sub-Trea- sury for payment by a clerk of the Manufacturers’ National Bank, and being detected as the one which had been stolen from Messrs. Verhuven & Knob- lauch payment was refused. The delivery of the same was then demanded of the oficers of the bank, and such delivery being refused a sult was brought to recover the same, Messrs. Verhuven & Knoblanch, the plaintiffs, set forth in their complaint that the defendants did not acquire possession of such certificate in the usual course Of business or from any regular dealer, but from a person who was ap entire stranger to them, and that previous to their acquiring possession they had notice of piatntiffs’ title to saldcertiticate ana its theft. ‘ihe bank set up, om the contrary, that the stolen certificate was changed by the cashier of the Cefendants over their counter in tho usual course of business and in perfect good faith, aud without realizing any profit therefrom, giving dollar for dollar therefor, and without any other possible motive than to accommodate the party preseating the certificate for change. ‘The result of this trial ‘was that the Judge held that as a matter of law the defendants were entiticd to a verdict, and that there was no question of fact for the jury, to which the plaintitts’ counse! excepted. The plaintiffs’ counsel iso requested to go to the jury on several proposl- tions, and that the jury should im that connection be instructed on several propositions of law, which requests in each case were also refused, and platn- uns’ counsel separately excepted. Judgment on the verdict having been perfected, the piainifs ap- led. ‘rhe case accordingly came up for argument yes- terday before Judges Ingraham, Barnard and Car- dozo, holding General Term of the Supreme Qourt. Mr. James W. Gerard, Jr., made a lengthy and able argument for the plaintifts and appeliants. He in- sisted that the Judge in the lower court erred in his decision that as a matter of law the defendants were entitled to a verdict, and in his refusal te ailow the plamtitfs to go to the jury as requested by their counsel. His trst point was that the theit being con- ceded proof of'vona fides In the adverse holder was essential to defeat plaintiffs’ original tile, and that the defendants having taken the paper out the usual court of business the additional bur- den was ou them to prove tie bona fide, which bur- den he vigorously insisted was an element in the evidence. He urged that whether that bona fide existed Was emlnenuy a quesiion of fact, wolch i was the province erthe jury to determme. He also contended that the rule is Weill seitied tat in case of dispute as to tile to personal property where there 1s enly evideuce to warrant a fury in inferring actual notice from cirenmstances, even though very slight opposing poof would repel the presumption, the question of good fajita is for the jury. The ques- tion of the secretion of the knowledge or notice, actual or constructive, as with that of the analogous case of negligence, ne profestet was always a quewtian. of Wat for the Jury, @ though its legal effect when established or admitted may be a ques- tion of law. After citing. nainerous authorities sub- stanvating this View of the case, he proceeded te show the eifects of the holding of the lower court, next tie facts proved, uext that the cxeuse of description Mm the handbill was ingenious but ev sive, and, lastly, that the offect of the judge's ruliug ZO a8 & rule that a recetver ofa stolen hegotiable note with notice of the theft can recover against the real owner because he happens to pay value for it, and that the wkole defence was an aferthougnt intended to obviate the effect of gross carelessness, fur which the defendants were in law responsible, Io, therefore, asked a new trial. For the defence it was strennously urged that the certifioate caine to them in the ordinary course of buginess; that it Was changed in good jalth; that they never nad apy notice of the loss of thls eer- tificate; that in the absence of all proof of maia fides there was ne question to go te tne jury; that it Was (he fault aud neglect of the defendants they did not protect themselves inst loss theft; that if they had simply written the w “payable to our order” over tho endorsement of Mr irdsall such 1088 by theit would have beon im- possible; that the only test that could be adopted was whether the bank look the certificate in bad faith, and finally that there was no question to be submitted to @ jury, and therefore no necessity for a new trial, ‘The Court below held that asthe defendants haa had no sufficient notice of the theft they were pro- tected, Which VieW Was susiained by Wis Court on } ‘bbe appeal.

Commander Porter, however, kept up such a tre- menions fire on them from the mortars that the en- emy’s shot did the gunboats no lujury, and the cable was separated and thelr connexion was broken suilciently to pass Vurougi on the left vank of the river. The petard operator fatled to fire his Utara owing to the breaking of his wires, which prevent the tuil destruction of the chain aud the vessels; but great allowance 1s to be made sor the violence of the current, which exceeds anything we have had to contend with since our arrival in the river.

HAvaNA, Jan. 4, 1871, ts We have just received here news of the arrival of the new King in Madrid and also of the deatn of Juan Prim, victiin of assassius. In celebration of the former event guns were fired at sunrise this morning and are being coutinued at itervals during the day, Of enthusiasm there is none—of satisfac tion scarcely more—for the ascension of te Duke of Aosta is not popular here. Of the Journals the Voz de Cuba says nothing concerning it, The Diarto de la Marina bas the following, whion te little enough:— “VIVA RL REY.” His Excellency we Colonial Mintsier, m a tele- ‘am of the 136, says to his Excelicney the Captain emeral that his Serone Highness Amadeo I, has arrived at Madrid, has sworn to the censtitution and has been installed in tne Royal Palace, Fag Duke of Aosta, Prince of the house of Savoy, has seated himself on the throne of Sau Fernando and of Charles I. AS monarchista aud as Spaulards we salute him who has just grasped tie sceptre of Oastile—has encircled bis head with what was the crown of two worlds, Stucg the ist of January ho has been the chief authority of the whole Spanish vation, our beloved coantry. Spain now has a monarch, A king has seated himself on the throne. What 1s our duty as good and true Spaniards? Our duty is to salute him with the ory of “Viva el Rey!) The death of Prim has created # much greater im- pression, Although regarded by many men as an intriguing politician, bis great services to the coun- try during the past two years were universally re- cognized, and without doubt here, asin the mother country, the form of Lis death has excited the great- estindignation, and will have the effect tocemeut the work he had just completed in furnishing a ruler for Spain. Concerning it the Vos de Cuba has tho follewing:— DON JUAN PRIM. This is the name by which was called—by those who knew bim trom bis earlier years—the brave solater Who, in that character, has given days of glory to his country and whe aiterwards acquired the title of Marquis of Vastillejos, Grandee of Spain aud many other tities and decorations, With this same naide we shouid call him now when we lament his tragic end aid deplore the loss of a Spauiard who, in the war In Airica and other military enterprises, worthily defeided the Spauish flag aud woa the plaudits of his own and of foreign people. df Don Juan Prim had been born ain of those glorious epochs for Spain in which her sons Jaunched themselves into great and laudabie enter- rises and did not wasto their energies in destroylug he vitals of our common mothey ta lamentable civil discords, his pame would have obtained such & place in history a8 those of Hernan Cortes and De Baiboa, as noting else could be expected from bis tried valor and adventurous spirit, Born and obliged to live in these times in which anarchy ruies, whea avaricious action und shameless passions wander abroad, lis the llgures of the dark conspirators and vulgar apos- tates. Naturally he always occupied tie highest aud most conspicuous place in the agitations and politl- cal convuisions wiich havo aiticied our unforic. nate country. For thls reason vengeance has hurtea a blow against him and ine hatred of his euomies bas lanuched against his breast the deatn Shot of ita spite. For tais he has become the first Viclim of inose passions Which ata av destroying the foundation of social order, We deplore so tragic an end. Wo weep for the brave soidier who cairied at one time with glory tho banner of Spain, conquering her enemies, These expressions have been inspired within us by the telegraphic despatch which appears in anotuer place, For the past few days there have been rumors of uprisings throughout Spain, headed by Lersundl and other Isavellinos, but they are net credited. Vaimaseda, in inaugurating his reign, has set | about keeplog tne insurgents from the Western De- partmentin a systematic manner, and for that pur- pose 1s consiructing @ cordon of military posta, to bein sight of one another, across the island, the line extending through the jurisdiction of Sanit Espiritu. Many of the laborers oi the estates have been impressed into the service of the government for that purpose. vis ramored here that Valmaseda has requested i the presence in Havana of the Spanisn Minister at Washington, Sefior Lopez Roberts, desiring to con- sult him in reference to the claims of American citi- wens, itis understood that his Hxcellency the Cap- tain General has a high appreciation of tne neces. sity of maintaining goo reiations with the United States, and that be desires to dv away with all cause of complaint at once, Dates [rom Santiago de Cuba are to the coth. The Spaniards report a successiul attack on the Loma del Gato, a favorite position of the insurgents in this jurisdiction. ‘The latter have strong intrenchments thrown up there aud an encainpment laid out in ac cordance with all the rules military art. The Spaniards have becn in the habit of reporting an occa- sional capture of whe piace, only, if we may credit heir steries, to be abandoned again immediately. ‘hey now claim to pave taken the position, with great logs to the enemy. They acknowledge a loss to them- selves of one lieutenant and four men killed and & number wounded.

Dates from Trinidad, the 28th, state that the cane on tho estate Manaca Armenteros, in the valley near this city, teok fire on the morning Of the 24h, from sparks emitted by the engine fires.

They must organize vigilance committees, whose duty it shali be to arrest ail per- sons’ geen prowling about the country and bring them at once to jusiice, Every outrage like this puts the country back at least a quarter of a cen- tury in the soale of progress.

Make women more independent and they will CHOOSE THEIR HUSBANDS MORB WISELY, and the family state will be improved. Good results always have followed the expansion of the sufrage, and there is no reason to doubt that further expan- sion will bave the same effect. The speaker | hoped that when women took a part in the govern- | ment diplomacy, which was ouly another word for lying, would be dispen=ed with.
