stated, but on the 18th. The progreso says that
this success more than counter balances the defeat
of yidaurri at Ahualulco. The defense WINS ex-
tremely obstinate, and tho garrison made many
desperate sallies. During the whole time of the
siege, which lasted moro than q month"; Miramon
made no attempt to relieve the place. fact which
indicates that his victory over Vidaurri must
have cost him dearly. Alter the capture Of tho

from advancing from that city.
The letter above quoted says that Robes and
Miramon are both aspiring to the Presidency, that

million to Zuloaga.
The Progreso Of the 9th reports that Zuloaga
is now anxious to retire from the Presidency, aid
that he has received such blow. by the fall Of
Guadalaara, that very little effort is required for
his overthrow. The same paper reports that Qua
nauato has been attacked by the Liberalists under

Zacatecas, and that padre Miranda has left the
ministry.

\ THEATRE on FIRE.-A frightful incident oc-
Cured on tho 7th ult Mt the Fulton Theatre ireka
California. The Alleghanians were periormlng
in tho presence of u very large audience. Most
Of tho ladies' Of 1reka were present. When the
concert had fnirly commenced, and at the close of
a very popular song, the stamping of the audience
shaking the stage, caused one of the camphcne
lamps to upset, and while one or two persons were
cndeavorng to smother the flames, another lamp
was upset About this time the crowd made
rush for the stairs. Several persons seized the
carpet Of the stage with which to smother the
flames. when most of the other lamps were upset.
The flames now doomed up terrfcally, and the
screams II the woman and children were appalling
The jam Of the stairway was sufocatn2. Several
of the Indies tainted, and it seemed that the whole
stage was in blaze. The terror and confusion
that prevailed drought the whole room at the in
slant can be comprchcndcl only by those who
have been placed in like situation. Some jumped
down from the front balustrHde, some ten or twelve
feet, to the ground; others jumped down stairs.
over the heads of the men aud woman some went
down bead first, and but few persons know how
they got down mt all. But we are & ad to say that
all got out Of tho theatre without injury.
