IMPORTANT FROM CHILI.-,Seizure of THO
american Ships, Nth Gold Dust.-A letter in
the New York Herald dated Valparaiso, Jan.
26, states that the late revolution has been put
down, and peace restored, but the writer adds
There has, however, recently been terrible
commotion among the state prisoners at the
Straits Of Magellan. Banished from theirhom
on account of political and other offences, thew
got up IL revolution there among themselves
killing the governor, taking the garrison, and
declaring themselves free and independent of
Chill.
The American barque Florida, which I
mentioned in former letter as having been
chartered by this government, and freighted
with full cargo of revolutionists, was forcibly
seized while at the Straits, and is now in the
possession of the prisoners. Official informa-
ton has also been given to the American
Consul here, that another American vessel,
(name unknown,) bound from California to N.
FORK, with large amount of gold on board
had been captured by these renegades, who
have sailed with both vessels for 'sparts un-
known" There being, unfortunately no Ameri-
can man-of-war on this part of the coast at
present, the English and French admiras have
both despatched ships in search of these daring
pirates, and we hope soon to be advised of their
capture.
A similar outbreak has recently occurred at the
island OF Juan Fernandez, and attempts made take
the American barque Eliza, which freighting with
wood there at the time but she succeeded putting
to sea before they accomplished their designs. This
island is at present ofhe depots for Chill prisoners
Owing to the recent political disturbances here, for
fear of being pressed into the army large numbers of
the aboring population have and are still eigratng
California. Some 5000 reported to have sailed
from this port alone, within the past three months.
The best brand of Chill flour is held SO per bag
of 200 lbs, at which value American -four under the
new tariff is admitted free of duty.

WASHINGTON, Marc h 8.
John Wilton, acting chief clerk of the PEN
sion Bureau, resumed his former position as
chief Clerk of the Land Office.
J. c. Metcalf, of Pennsylvania, has been
appointed chief clerk of the Pension Bureau
Spiritual rappings are exciting good deal of
attention in the eastern part of the city, many
respectable persons testifying to their extraord-
nary performances.
Mr.. RIvEs AND FRANcE.-All the rumors as
to misunderstanding between Louis Napoleon
and Mr.. Rives, or that Mr.. Rives' recall has
been requested, Or that it is contemplated to re-
call him, are wholly unfounded. The recent
dispatches from France give no cause for sup
posing that friendly relations will be in any way
interrupted
The United States Stock issued to foreigners
during the past week. amounted to eighty -four
thousand eight hundred dollars.

ARREST OF ELAM-Officers Tyler and
Pearce yesterday succeeded in arresting in this
city, young man named Joseph Elan, who
has made himself somewhat notorious by his
lawless proceedings in and about the city. 1t
will be remembered that this young man is the
individual who sought difficulty with young
Mr.. Tyrer at Trinity Church on the night
of the 21st September last. Subsequently he
has been charged with several other offences
such, for instance, as placing himself at the
head of gang of lawless youths and aiding and
melting them to the commission of wanton and
lawless deeds. The officers have been on the
qaa uiDe for some time, but Elam managed to
elude them till yesterday, when they succeed
ed in arresting him. He will be brought be-
fore the Mayor this morning.

A DREDGINe MAcH1NE-or rather, the mo-
delofa newly invented Dredging Machine-was
exhibited in this city week or two ago. and for
aught we know to the contrary, it may now be
In the city. We saw the model on the Capitol
Square, surrounded by quite crowd of won
der-struck spectators, all ofwhom, we dare say,
retired with the thorough conviction that it was
precisely the thing required to remove the
constitutional" as well as all other bars which
obstruct the free navigation of James River be-
low the falls. The model did not appear to our
circumscribed vision perhaps, to vary essentially
from the sold Mud Machine" used some wears
ago in the Dock; indeed, we believe the inyen-
tor only claims an improvement upon the old
fashioned Dredging Machine. He contends
that by introducing five coulters or ploughs, he
succeeds in loosening the earth and thus
causes the buckets or scoups to take it up more
easily. Hut suppose the deposite to be remov-
ed consists only of mud, of what use are the
coulters then! We confess, however, that we
did not carefully examine the machines it may
be fully capable of performing we'll all it's inven-
tor claims, or it may not be--we are unable to
decide. But having only day Or so previous
" read in the Norfolk Herald, a lengthy edito-
rial on the subject of the improvement of the
navigation of James River below the city
OF Richmond, in which the opinion was
ayowed thatit was utterly out of the question to
talk about removing the bars in the river-that
ltcould not be done-that the surplus revenues
OF the General Government would be- found in
adequate to clean out and keep open the chan
nel &C., we turned from the Dredging Ma
chine with aversion, because we regarded the
matter as settled. The wit of man could not
devise aplan whereby the navigation of the river
could be rendered practicable to vessels drawing
over nine feet of water! The Herald had DASH
ed our hopes. True, it had not demonstrated
tne matter fully to our satisfaction nor had it
u'spfoved any one conclusion arrived at by the
able and distinguished Civil Engineer, who had
thoroughly examined the distractions, some
years since, and reported most favorably there
upon to the General Government; but, knowing
TINS TO be progressive age--a period in the
history OF mankind wherein questions the most
oliilcuit are solved in a trice, without having
recourse to the troublesome and antion ated
means pointed out by science, we repeat, we
regarded the question as settled. How could
wethen, look with any compacency on the mo-
del ola Machine designed to accomplish what
1ae Herald regards as an impossibility, in SO far
NJ least as the bars in James River are oncern
ed?

THEATRE.-As we expected, this popular
place of amusement was crowded last night to
witness the excellent acting of Mr.. and Mrs.
Barney Williams. AS an Irish Comedian Mr..
Williams is certainly the best that has ever APP
peared before Richmond audience His
brogue is rich and racy; his voice is sweet, and
his Irish jig perfection itself. What shall we
say of Mrs. Williams! Why that the play
going community must witness her acting to
be lieve that there is so much excellence COM
bined in one person; her drollest parts are GER
tainly better than those of the celebrated Mrs.
Fitzwilliam. We advise all who wish to enjoy
the best treat of the season to visit the Theatre
at once.

ACCIDENT AND Loss OF LIFE.-We are
panied to learn that fine little white lad named
Frederick Evans, about nine OF ten years Of
age, was instantly killed yesterday about IL
O'Clock, near Mr. Bragg's Mill, by being run
over by wagon loaded with hay. No blame
is, we learn, justly attachable to the driver.
The little fellow was swinging on the wagon,
when he lost his balance and was crushed by
one ofthe wheels, which passed over his chest,
before the driver was aware of the accident
He survived the accident only about ten min
utes. His father, we learn, is very respecta-
BILE mechanic, and is in the employment Of

ANOTHER WIFE-wHIPPING CAsE.-A white
man named Philip Roberts was alrested.by Capt.
White yesterday morning, near the New Mar
ket House, for riotous and disorderly conduct.
He was brought before the Mayor, when it
appeared in evidence that he had been en-
gagged in the manly and creditable pastime of
fogging his own wife. The Mayor ordered
him to find surety in the penalty of $500; but
he failed to find any one willing to undertake
for him, SO he went to jail for three months.
