The belligerents wevo arrested and held to bull by Alderman Nelil. How rr Came Off. Tbe lunar eclipse of last night wus a signal success. Th3 prompter's hell rang and tue clond curtain rolled up at precisely twenty-eight minutes past7 o'cloctr. The performance of this sublime miracle of nature lasted until lony-tight minutes after'.). The sneciacle was visible fr -in nearly every point in North Au.erlca It lucked the grandeur of a solar eclipse, buiwas nevertheless extreme ly BuggfcBtlve of all the poetry that ever was wrlntu with the Queen of Night for its subject. The night was beautifully clear, and, save that a gauze-cloud veil at Intervals momentarily dimmed the lustre ol the orb. the gradual pro gress of the obscuration was uninterruptedly visible from its beizlnnlne to IU close. Many people had forgotten or were Ignorant of the programme for tho evening a matter which verities the value of advertising to every body who gets up public exhibitions, astrono mers included. The sido-walk astronomer, with his bis telescopo. reaped a little harvest on tbe occasion, and only regretted that his Instrument bad a 't a do.eu peep-holes Instead of one. We passed a Herman gentleman at Eighth and Chesnut street, who, as he took his Hint itlauce at Miss Luna, when about half obsenred, exclaimed, "O Hiinmel, der bottom f der moon ish fell ont !" The row overhead was all caused by the earth casting Its shadow on her sister planet. Wo oast no reflection on her f ir tbe lreak, and unite with tbe slde-wulk telescope man la wishing that the perlormance had been longer. The earth last nleht played tbe role of a coun try man In a muzouraa, who got out of his set and was playing hob with the ngares. The sias of the shadow was ! iS of the moon's diameter, first darkeuing her northern limb, aud giving iter satellite a black eye. The middle of tho obscuration was reached at thirty-eight xninutes past 8, with no intcrmlsslou for re freshments or unylhlng else. As we have said, the spectacle was rare such as Isn't seen on an average once luadecale. Tbe first thing we Investigate on receiving the yearly almanao Issued toy our frieud the pro prietor of the "Flummlx Bitters," is the time and number of eclipses. Those of the moou are rare at best, while, after ascertaining the time they come off, we found the announcement ler minaticg in the words visible only In the In dian Ocean," or some place where lolks lunch principally on cold missionary. We congratulate all who shared with us the enjoyment of last night's astronomloal eooen trlclty, and sympathize with those who did not. A DiBisn Robbbey. The Btar Hotel, in Woodbury, N. J., kept by Mr. Hamuol Willis, was visited by a man last night, who took a room without stopping for the formality of leaving his autograph upon the register. More than this, he took a room already occupied by two ladles Miss Willis and Mrs. Ileejur. Ho entered the apartment by the window npon a portico, to which he climbed. The ladies were aroused by his racket, but too late to give the rlyht kind of alarm to rouse the slnmberersla a country hotel. He escaped with a valuable gold watch and chain, but, fortunately, over looked a diamond brooch of even greater value. No clua x lRta as to the lduntllv of the tuief.

Niw Yobi, Jan. 28. To-day a witness sup posed to be lying at the point of death on Black well's Island will b examined with reference to the Rogers murder, and It is ex pected that disclosures will be made that will lolly implicate James Logan, now In custody as the murderer. This Im portant witness is a woman named Martha Clearwater, with whom it is said that Logan was on terms of Intimacy. A sync-pals of what it Is expected she will stulo Is that on tha morning when Mr. Rogers was assassinated, this James Loean went to her house on Greene street bare headed, and with his coat half torn off his back, that sha exchanged his torn soat for a whole one, and gave him a hat. and that he then remained close at her house for two or three days afterward. Tbe Investigations of thd Mayor, District Attorney, and Coroner have led them to believe that this woman can. If she will, produce the other half of the coat worn by the murderer on that morning. Lnst evtulng a guard was placed ou the island to frustrate any attempt that mi-jht be mado to spirit her away. 0 UB A.

Havana correspondence of January 21, says: A diBturbuuce look, place at the Villanueva ineatre nisi evenini; which resulted in tho kulmi; of several persons, and the wounding of others. This theatre is mostly patronized by Cubans, and it is asserted thut the performance ol last evetiii'K was Riven in aid ot tbe Insurrec tion. The boxes were mostly taken by natives, aud a number ot Spaniards who applied lor places were informed that they were all cuRiiKed. One or two of the local paptrs seem to have had a premonition that a dbiurnnnce would take place, and l.a l'rema, la its evening edition, advised an honorable people to be on tbelr guard. At tho hour of opening tbe house was well tilled: the piece was ot a local character, and during its per fora ance some cms shouted, "Viva the land which produces the suwarl Viva Cuba ! and other cries. This continued tor soma time, when some one bhoiite, "Viva Cespcdes!" which was followed by a tremendous ex clement. The volunteers in attendance, who would tevva to have lost their wits, fired a volley into the audience, which was followed by a number ot raodom shots. The reports in reference to the killed and wounded are nume rous and exigeera'ed. The scene that followed beggars oecriptiou, as there were present women and childten. The audience began to pour out as rapidly as possible, durine; which un occaaiorial knot was heard, which added to tbe panic. TLe number of pcraons killed at the theatre was teveu, of whom one is a b:tby. Tlie wounded aud bruised cannot be ascertained; they were many, llie tight communeed at Unit-past nine r. u. by shots tireii outside by the volunteers. which were answered irom inside by th i Cubans. It lasied till baif-pait two this morning. Tbe report of tho Cuban meeting In favor of self government for this island was recently submit- tea io uiuerai uuue, wuu a request that he would promulgate it. He replied that he had no authority to do so, and he could only remit It to Spain. Ihe fact that the insurgents of the Eastern Department have determined to move westward st ems to pain confirmation. They ate reported as appearing in large numbers In Villa Clara and other points more in this direction than tbote heretofore occupied, aud they have entirely disappeared Irom the vicinity of Saniiagn tie Cuba and along the southeastern const. While the main object doubtless is to bring active epevanons nercr to Havana, another equally important is to keep the troops engaged In matching and co'intermarchln? uutll tlie warm aea.hcr, that great ally to the uatlves, fce s iu. We have nothing determinate as to Valma seda's movetrenta sirce the abandonment of Ktiyamo by the Insurgents on the approach of the ttoops.

Advices received in Batateano state that the column ot Ceneial Valmeseda was expeeld in M;iBzanlllo yesterday. It is reported here that some coastiug steamers have been chartered to bring tlie troops to Havana. The United fclatea consular apoat at Santa Cruz, under date of the 16'h, writes to the act ing Cou6ul-Cencral iu this city as follows: - From the very bcglurdug of the Insurrection I put up ibe American flag over my property, hliuated olue nilles Irnui tbla port, excepting- that lb IniurgCDts w uld respect it, and so they din until theK.tti instant when tbey obliged some lamllles of 'he vicinity logo oo my place, aud being there Ihe chief of ihelnsnr rtcttonlsts, named M.
