REvoLuTIox IN Chill By the arrival

from Cili to October 10Th. We copy
the following interesting news respect
ing the revolution which is now. going
on in that republic from the Courier of
Saturday, furnished to that paper by
Mr. w. w. Palmer, who came passen-
ger in the Isabel
1t will be recollected that at the late
e'ecti for President, Mont was de
clared elected When the electoral
college assembled, many of the mem
bers were absent, and it was claimed by
the friends of General Cruz that the
election had been carried against him
at the point Of the bayonet, and by the
greatest frauds and corruption. The
friends of Cruz organized and addressed
note to him, asking him to take The
head Of the revolutionary army. to which
he consented. Arrangements were
made for q general outbreak on the 22d
September, but governments steamer
coming into Talcahuana about the lS
of that month, the Cruz party took pos
session of her, getting 1900 ounces OF
gold with her After being properly
armed, she was about to pro eed to Co
qulmbo to get government money here
At this tim' however, the steamer Fire
Fly came into harbor, and was fred at
from the fort when she came to 1t was
soon discovered that she was IN posses
sion OF the Cruz party Of Coquimbo The
Fire Fly belonged to an English gem
tleman at toquimbo, from whom she
had been forcibly taken
The two steamers we're then Dispatch
ed to Coquimho for money, At which
port, the Chilian steamer, which wa>
named 'Aurauco,n arrived first. Unf0r-
tunately for her, she met an English
vessel of war, and was com peled to pay
about $50, 900 indemnity for the taking
OF the Fire Fly. She then returned to
Ialcahuana, where she found the port
blockaded by Chiliaa brig of war,
which she ran past in the night and
got safely into harbor. Preparations
were on foot to take the brig of war by
the Cruz party, when Mr. Palmer left
The Cruz party were in possession of
Talcahuana, Coquimbn, Conception, and
a number Of ether inland and sea port
towns. All the important government
officers in these places were ousted, and
Cruz men put in their places. Many
of the officers were put in prison, but
let out again on parole
The Montt party were in possession
Of Valparaiso. and both parties were
making active preparations for the fight

impression at lalcahuana, when he eft,
that the Cruz party would be Successful

THEATRICALs.-The thin houses
at the Jenny Lind on Monday and
Tuesday evenings expressed as biting
satire on the company who are at pre-
sent leasing the building, as any words,
however just, could do. The public Of
Nevada, though some speculating adj
venturers persist, in spite of losing ex-
perience, in believing to the contrary,
have enough discrimination to distin-
guish between grimace and action, and
rant and acting. We have always en-
tertained the opinion that talented
company could do well in Nevada city
one which should give back in the
way of amusement and instruction an
equivalent for the dollars they take
out of the pockets of the community,
But cobblers and tinkers at acting
never can succeed in an intelligent
community, and though their self-lau-
ditory introduction may fill the house
and line their pockets for time, a
sense of disgust will imperceptibly
grow in the public mind, till it be-
comes invincible.
A regard for the patience of our rea-
ders deters us from lengthy notices of
the dramatic performances at present
dealt out at the Jenny Lind but every
one will concur with us that the sports
of the ring in the shape of tumbling
and mountebankery, ald vulgar and
profane songs, are not the entertain.

FIRE NEAR SAN jose Mission On the
night Of the 23d October, while all were
absent from home but young laoy. the
house Of MIR d. c.. Smith took fire ard
was entirely consumed The young
lady was asleep on sofa when she was
awakened by a loud report caused by
the bursting of tin canister, contain
ing pound of powder On opening her
eyes she found the room all on fire, and
She had har lily time to escape destruc-
ton. A rifle, which Mr.. Smith had
loaded just previous to his departure
was discharged by the heat, the ball
passing out through the side of the house,
and killing valuable horse in the field
The loss is considerable, mostly in notes
and other valuable papers. No cause
can be assigned for the fire, as it caught
apparently in the ceiling VISITOR

METCALF AGAINST ARGENT AND At
KINsoN N.-By despatch received last
night from San Jose, we learn that the
jury in this celebrated case came into
court at 10 o'clock the preceding night
with q verdict for plaintiff with nominal
damages which it will be recollected,
were laid ut $4,000. The mountain
has lahored and brought forth 1t mouse
The Jury after an absence of about
two and half hours, returned verdict
of one dollar for plaintiff One of the
counsel for defendants then read the
law which says, when party sues for
damages for trcspass and RECEIVERS under
$500 tho plaintiff shall recover no costs
The foreman of the jury rose from his
seat and stated that the jury supposed
when they brought in their verdict of
one dollar for plaintiff that the deten-
dants would be compelled to pay the
costs, but that not being the law, they
desired to have their verdict again,
(Which was in writing and not record,
ed,) and with it they retired again to
the jury room, ard after an absence OF
about minutes they returned a verdict
OF two hundred and one dollars for plain
til with costs One of the witnesses,
