FIRE. NEAR HONE.
The pro . Perty lately purchased by the
proprietors of the EVENING BULLETIN,
at 607 Chestnut street, was destroyed by
fire last night. The particulars of the
conflagration are given in another part
of this paper. Happily for us, as it turns
out, various circumstances have occurred
to prevent us from getting possession,
and no part of the property of the firm,
except the building itself, has been
burned.
The fire, of course, involves a heavy
loss and much inconvenience. We had
expected to begin to move into the
building in a few weeks. We shall
have to remain in our present quarters,
329 Chestnut street, until the building
can be reconstructed. This will be
commenced with as little delay as
possible, and the disaster will afford
as at least one advantage—that of being
able to construct a building exactly
adapted to our business. The one just
destroyed could not have answered our
purposes without extensive and costly
alterations.
The exact amount of our loss cannot,
of course, be known as yet. But we
believe it will be covered by the insu•
ranee. The friendly interest shown by
our contemporaries of the press, and the
public generally, calls for our warmest
acknowledgements. While expressing
our thanks, we hope, in a few months,
to be receiving their congratulations
upon being in posSession of a finer and
more convenient building than that just
destroyed.
We also return our hearty thanks to
the gallant and fearless firemen who
struggled so faithfully in the effort to
rescue the ill-fated building from total
destruction. Although they met with
but partial success in their efforts, their
exertions could not have been greater or
our gratitude to them more sincere had
they succeeded in checking the flames
at the commencement.
SPAIN AND CHILI.
The recent aspirations of Spain to re
cover some of her long lbst American
possessions, or at least to domineer over
them and exact tribute from them, have
not been very successful. After a good
deal of expenditure of time, treasure and
blood, she had to abandon St. Domingo,
Then she turned her attention to Peru,
where she was a little less unfortunate,
because the Peruvians, having troubles
of their own on their hands, were not
able to make a good defence, and had to
submit to certain exactions for the sake
of peace.
The latest Spanish attempt in America
was against the republic of Chili. It
has excited indignation in. Europe as
well as in our Northern and Southern
continents. The blockade of the Chilian
ports was undertaken by Admiral Pa
reja, and it was thoughthaA r JA force
sufficient to make it effective. But he
has lately had . a sharp lesson taught
him, and the little Chilian navy has
achieved avictory; brilliant in itself,and
calculated to lead to important results.
Contrasted with the events of the gigan
tic war in this country, the achieve=
ment seems small and insignificant.
But we,, must now measure deects by a
smaller scale, and give to a weak power
all the credit that ~ uccess over a greater
deserves.
The Chilian war steamer Esmeralda,
tarrying 16 guns, and the little tender
Maipu, sallied from the port of Valpa
raiso, and when off the port of Papudo,
forty miles to the northward, attacked
the Spanish war steamer Covadonga.
After a fight of half an hour the latter
surrendered. She was not injured, and
her captors manned her at once, and - she
sailed on the night of her capture,,along
with the Esmeralda. We shall not be
surprised if, by attacking m detail the
various blockaders, the Chilians Should
raise the blockade entirely, and add the
Spanish ships to their own navy.' About
the :dine of thei capture of the 'Cove
fienga; hoineh;i with' 40 men "and a

half' Te Deum was
celebrated in the cathedral; at which all
the Government officials assisted, and
the captured flag of the enemy's ship
was solemnly deposited in the church.
The Senate was called together, and the
commander of the Esmeralda, who is an
Englishman named Williams, was pro
moted to a post-captaincy, and the other
officers were raised one grade.
We rejoice at thisvictory of Chili; this
triumph of a weak but brave little
American republic over an arrogant
European monarchy. We shall look
with hope and confidence for still further
victories, so that Spain shall be com
pelled, not merely by the pressure of
public opinion in Europe and this coun
try, but by the very force of circum
stances, to desist from her insolent de
signs upon the republics of the Pacific
COast. In this• way the vindication of
the Monroe doctrine will gradually be
accomplished.
HENRY WINTER DAVI&
Had the late Hon. Henry Winter Da
vis, of Maryland, been educated a sol
dier,
"The flinty and steel conch of way,"
would to him have been, in the severest
campaigns, the longest marches,or after
the most desperate battles;
"A thrice driven bed of down"
Mr. Davis's nature was eminently hardy.
Resolution was in his port, indomitable
energy and perseverance shone in his
every glance, and in every accent of his
eloquent tongue, the pride, the courage
and the swelling manhood of leadership
rang out in the grandest tones. He never
wavered. After he had locked a deter
mination in his breast it could not be
torn out by any power on earth. It was
difficult to lead, impossible to drive him.
With the strong men of his own politi
cal way of thinking, Mr. Davis was often
at odds; frequently because they were
just endeavoring to crystalize around
certain theories, while he had traveled
directly to his conclusions and had
clinched them so firmly that any ef
fort to shake them seemed as trivial
as for a child to attempt touproot an oak
of the growth of centuries. While the
issues made by the American party were
uppermost, Henry Winter Davis led a
band of followers in Maryland, as devot
ed as any partisans who ever followed a
Crusader or Discoverer, or who ever
flung themselves into a deadly breach
at a lost conflict. His battle-cry rang
above the tumult in tones as bold and
fierce in defeat as in victory, and his in
domitable spirit knew no master, even
in fate. When the war for the Union,
with its grand issue of Freedom for All,
came up to swallow all other strifes,
Davis was equally defiant in his expres
sions and daring in his advance. Even
when the honor of the Republic seemed
trembling; when our public policy
seemed cloudy, and when our armies
were held in check at all points, his was
the voice that hurled defiance at Eng
land and France with such grandeur of
eloquence that three thousand men in
one of Philadelphia's largest halls rose
as one man to echo "Amen!" to the sen
timent. The cheers of that multitude
were not three times three, nor nine
times nine; they were ninety times
ninety—prolonged, fervent, overwhelm
ing; such cheers as thrill along every
nerve and make every manly heart beat
like a sledge.
Henry Winter Davis did not attain the
object of his high ambition, but he did
not die a disappointed man. He was
one of the Republic's worthiest sons,and
to our mind he will stand on the roll
of fame beside such pure patriots, schol
ars, statesmen and clear-eyed citizens as
Charles Fenton Mercer, than whom the
Southern half of America has boasted
few greater men.
The Italian
.Opera.
A brilliant audience witnessed the open,
ing of the opera season last evening. Faust
was played, in some respects, better than ,
we have ever had it here. • The only part
we have ever had better done was that of
"Mephistopheles,"
" in which Herrmanns is
without an equal in this country. Signor
Antonucci, the new Italian basso, who
played the part last evening,has an Italian's
conception of it, and it lacks the devilish
ness of the German idea. But he acts with
spirit, and sings like an artist, his voice
being a high basso of good quality. Signor
Irfre, the new tenor, is a fine artist and a
good actor. His voice is not very powerful,
but it has good timbre and extensive range.
He sang the lovely romance "Salve dimora"
with great tenderness; and in the duet in the
garden scene with "Margheirita" he fairly
shared the honors with Miss Kellogg. t
One could hardly imagine or desire a
more charming "Margherita" than Miss.
Kellogg. The gelden-hair of her make-np ,
trasforros her, but she looks lovely. Her
whole conception. of the part is beautiful,
and she introduces many new and effective
dramatic points. As for ,her singing it is
vastly better than we haye ever heard it,
for her -voice haa gained in volume and
rielmesst, without losing a particle ~,of its
purity and freshness.. The romance. Of the
ging of Thule was charmingly "given, and
the cavatina that she sings while, arraying
herself in the jewels was a splendid piece
of vocalizailoti. In the scene—new in
t'hiladelphia•-•in, front of the church, she
showed great , dramatic , power, and in the,
magnificent trio of thp lest, scene she pro
duced a ,great effect by her voice - as well as
her acting. , She was; repeatedly aiad,
thusiastically applaudel
Signor Belimi made , a great deals : nit .of
the unimportant part: of"Vaientine," his
noble voice ringing out above the - rest, and
his manly bearing giving unusual. dignity
tothe character. Madame Fischer made a
"good "Siebel," and the inirwr. parts were
dckne. The orchestra was full and ex-'
,„_
tremely good, and , the , advantage.of.having_l
a harp was.observed in various parts of the
performance. The ehortts,-toor-,:was -ex
cellent; and wemissed, withont regretting
them, the old stagers Abet have for years
formed our Italian, choruses...
This evening Bleyerbeer's ' great bnera,
VAfricaide, will be played for the first time;
with a ppwerful east and swig; advantage
of scenery, wardrobes, dm. A great au
dience may be expected. An abstract of the
plot of the Africaine will be found on our
first page.
Broad Street Railroad,
The proceeding by writ of "Quo War
ranto" instituted by the Commonwealth
against the Central Passenger Railway
Company will be heard by the Supreme
Court to-morrow morning. We trust the
Commonwealth may succeed in its effort to
prevent the-assumption of a power by this
alleged corporation, which, if permitted to
be exercised by it, will be most destructive
of both public and private rights.
The same• concern was ventilated before
Judge Read, who enjoined them from oc
cupying Broad street as well as other streets
with ther dummy engine and locomotives.
The result of the proceedings will be awaited
with the utmost interest by our citizens, all
of whom desire that Broad street shall be
preserved as the only existing avenue
northwardly free from railways. Hon.
William M. Meredith will appear for the
Commonwealth.
CORONER TAYLOR.—The Statistics of the
Coroner's office,published in the BULLETIN
yesterday, give some idea of the importance
of having the position filled by a man of
intelligence and integrity. Murders and
serious disasters were more than usually
frequent during the past year, and wher
ever Coroner Taylor was called upon to
investigate them officially, the work was
done thoroughly and intelligently. In
cases where it was necessary, such as boiler
explosions &c., juries of experts were
selected, and verdicts which had some
bearing upon the subject were rendered,
a result ii agreeable contrast with the offi
cial doings of too many of the predecessors
of Mr. Taylor.
A Mistake.
A morning cotemporary, in speaking of
the destructive conflagration on Chestnut
street, above Sixth, last night, says it was
the fifteenth anniversary of the great fire
which destroyed Hart's Building and the
Shakespeare Building. This is a mistake.
The fire at Hart's Building took place on
the night of December 26th, 1851, and con•
sequently little more than fourteen years
ago.
