Destruction OF PROPERTY. EARLY this
morning, two houses on Ohio street, between
Pacific and Broadway, were torn down by
their occupants. 1t appears, as near as we
could learn, that the houses were on leased
ground, tho property of Capt. Robinson,
and the rent being considered too exhorbi
tant by the house e'owners, they determined
on removing them. The houses were emptied
of their contents shortly after dark, and at
about half.past twelve o'clock, the work Of
demolishing the structures commenced. The
lumber was removed as fast as the pieces
fell, so that in short timo nothing remain
ed on the ground, all having been slowed
away in adjacent yards One of the build
ings was occupied as Portuguese boarding
house, and the other as the Ohio Bakery es.

Theatre.

Nothing has more completely demonstra-
ted Mr. Feming's versatility in acting than
his last nights performance in the character
of Claude Melnotte' One Of the standard
characters of sterling comedy, its imperson-
alton is par excellence just criterion from
which to judge Of the actors merit as u
comedian and insomuch as we have hereto
fore regarded Mr.. Fleming only in the light
of a tragedian, we were most pleasantly sur
prised by his mastery rendition of Claude,
so entirely distinct is the character from
those in which we have previously seen him,
and regarding the Gardeners Son" as one
of the best characters, Of its kind, we are
constrained to pronounce Mr.. Fleming one
of the first actors Of genteel comedy of the
day.
We have heretofore witnessed Miss Potter
in the character Of Pauline, and were there
by prepared to witness her very excellent
repetition Of it last evening. Mr. Brown
played Beauseaunt with his usual vivacity
and good taste. Tonight is set apart for
Mr.. Fleming's benefit, and We wish oar ur-
gent appeals could secure him full house
on the occasion The bill, which consists of
the great tragedy of Pizarro, and the Hon
eymoon, in both of which pieces Mr.. Fleming
sus.ains the principal character, is certainly
one which ought to secure him large audi
ence, and we earnestly hope it will.

The only news we have from San jose is
the following from the Panama Star, by tele::
graph from Aspinwall, which says: The
steamer Thomas arrived here to-day--no ii.
dings Of Walker have been received at San
Juan for some days before her departure.
Walker had appropriated the steamers on
the lake and river to his own use. Scott
had quarrelled with him and stopped run
ming on the river The fleet was beginning
to leave. All were soon to GO
The account of an affair in Granada,
when % Americans were surrounded IN
church, is similar 10 our last adyices. The
Costa Rcan Journal says on the lst OF De-
cember 200 men remianed hemmed IN the
ruins of the church of Guadalupe, in Gra.
NADIA, who fought with desperation, ana
were without water, and had to subsist on
their horses. They obstinately refused quar-

Liverpool dates to the 81 December, four
days later than those previously received.
The news i. unimportant.
There had been an insurrection in the
Province of Palermo on the 22d November
Troaps had been sent against the insurrect-

The difficulty between Prussia and Switz-

Prussia, on one side, has suspended com.

There were reports that the parties to the
Paris Conference would re-assemble at an
early day.
Financial affairs were rather dull.
The death of DR.. Pusey, the celebrated
English Theologian, is announced.
Mexico.
The point of the news from Mexico is the
progress Of the seige of Pueblo.
This is the second or third time that the
city has been in a revolt against the Comon-
fort government, owing to the III measures Of
his administration against the property and
peculiar privileges of the Church. 1t was
being beseiged by force of five or six thou
sand men, under Gen Morsto, and news of
its reduction was daily expected in the cap
itol.
No further aggressive measures had been
taken by the English government to enforce
its claims on that of Mexico. The difficulty
would probably be settled by diplomatic
means.
Ex,President Santa Anna has published in
Carthagenia, N. G.. n paper protesting
against Comonfort and his government, for
having despoied him of his property.
By way of New Orleans, we have news
from Vera Cruz to the 9th. On the 9th, the
revolutionists at Pueblo succumbed to the
government forces.
The statement that Viduarri had entere d
nto amicable treaty with the government is
confirmed. Alvarez is on the war-path, and
Comonfort's affairs and prospects are just
now in a hourishing condition.

TRADE AND PRODUCTION OF BRITISH INDIA.

In 1884, when the East India Company ceased to
be trading company, and when, as it is claimed by
those who believe that under British rule only can
India make any progress in arts, civilization, and
commerce, the full benefits of wiser policy were
extended both to the foreign, or rather external,
trade and internal administration of the country, the
value of imports from all quarters $2l 100000,
and the value of exports to all countries was
1879, 965,00O The amount of specie imported was
$9,465, 900, while the amount exported was $780,
000 In 1856 the imports of merchandise into
India from all countries increased from $2l ,3O5 900
in 1884 to $S6,37O00O, and the exports from $780,
9650O0 to $l27,470, 600. The amount of specie inn
ported $6l ,78O, 900 against an expectation of
$l0,230, 900. During the past five years there was
imported not less than $20O,000,O0O in specie--an
amount Indispensable to meet the heavy balance Of
trade against Great Britain and other nations. This
enormous increase and extent Of general commerce
must be felt in their consequences upon the indvd-
ual native producers in the remote districts of In
dia though it does not necessarily follow that those
native producers who constitute at least nineenths
of the population of India, are 80 thoroughly Angl
cized in their sentiments and feelings as not to SYM
pathize, to great extent, in the motives and objects
of the leaders and masses of the mutinous army.
