PARIS, jan. 27.-Stil later advices have been
received from Rio Janeiro. The war news is
unimportant. The Paraguayan army. though
badly defeated at Vileta, still occupied the
stronghold of Angostura. Tue damage by the
burning of the custom house at Rio Janeiro was
largely overestmated.
Burning OF an American Ship.
HAvRE, Jan. 27-Noon-The American ship
Alaska, Captain Small, which had just arrived
from New Orleans with cargo of cotton, took
FIRE this morning in this harbor, and owing to
the combastible nature of her calgo is burning
furiously, and will probably be total loss. She
was built in Maine in 1868, was owned by
Thayer & Lincoln, of Boston, and sailed last
from New Orleans December 10.
The Peretre Disaster,
LONDON, Jan. 27.-Noue OF the frat class
passengers on the steamship PereIre we're
seriously injured by reason of the recent acci-
dent. Three of the crew were killed, and the
following named second class passenger viz. -
Mr.. CsllAghan, Catholic priest; Mr.. Foulquier,
q Frenchman; and Mr.. Fslkenberg, German.
The PeTeire encountered fearful gale when
a few days out from BIest, in the course OF
which heavy seas broke over her, carrying
away entirely the forward deck and cabin, ard
inhieting other damage. 1t is also understood
that she sustained such injuries to her machi-
merry as compelled her to put back to Havre
under sail. There seems 20 be singular reti-
cence about the affair, and there is much
difficulty In procuring details, so that we are
still without reliable particulars.

During the months of November and Decem-
Der 2Oj dramatic and operate performances
were given at the Academy of Music and the
principal theatres. The total amount received
from the public was S152 5O9, or about S743'jO
for each performance.
The following is statement Of the gross
receipts at the three theatres during the past
four years:-J January, 1865, $416 $50; IN 1863,
500, CPS; in 1867, $685., 1851; in 18Gs S405,9 1878.
This shows falling of in the attendance at the
theatres, which may be accounted for by the
general financial embarrassment which fol-
lowed the war; aud by the multiplication of
concerts aud other entertainments which suit
the taste of those who are not dramatically
inclined. The receipts for 1863, however, show
an improvement over the previous year, and the
business done at the theatres now in operation
during the present season, seems to indicate that
! a still better exhibit will be made for 1869.
There has been decided improvement in
| public taste of late as regards the manner in
which plays are produced, if not iu the matter
| of the plays themselves. Paygoers wish to see
| even trash pat upon the stage in handsome
style and well acted, and the managers who
most closely observe the signs of the times will
be likely TO have the weightiest moncy.bags in
the future

Pensions and Female Pensioners.
During the morning hour to-day the House
was engaged in discussing a bill relating to the
operation of the Pension laws. The debate
centred on the second section OF the bill, which
provides that upon the presentation of satisfac-
tory evidence to the Commissioner of Pensions
that any female peusioner is living life of
pros stitution, or is cohabiting with or living
with or being supported by any man as his
wife or mistress, 10 whom she is not lawfully
married, shall be deprived Of her pension.
except she can produce satisfactory rebutting
evidence that the charges preferred against her
are not true. General Schenck characterized
the bill as the mos. infamous and disgraceful
measure ever brought into Congress. Mr..
Ingersoll, OF Vermont said the bill should
include male prostitutes a, well as female. By
inference, it proclaims that the widow of every
soldiers common prostitute. Tue debate rela-
ting mostly to prostitutes, occasioned consider
able merrincnt in the House.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC.
The Cost of Our Amusements,

Every body, or at least every body that Is any
body, admits that amusements of some sort are
necessary for the human animal. Exactly what
these amusements shall be is a matter of con-
troversy between advocates and opponents of
dramatic entertainments. The sums which
are paid in a city like this, for
amusements, seem large wheu we look
at them IN lump, bat the managers have
different opinion on the subject; aud when we
consider our immense population, it is evident
that there must be i very large class who
rccreate themselves in some manner outside of
the theatres, and the amount is really very
small, and it is doubtful whether it could ba
expended in more innocent aud really pro.
