THE CHESTNUT.—Those who drop in at the Chestnut several times during the week are amused to see the audience laughing, trying and applauding at the same points of "Arrah-Na-Pogue" each evening. The joys and sorrows of Shaun and Arrah; the jolly geutlemanliness of The O'Grady; the stealthy•znalignity of Michael Feeny; the impetuousness and perplexities of Fanny Power; the hifarious dancing of the large -capped peasant (played by Mrs. Mordaunt) with her male antagonist, all make up a :strain of varied emotion which keeps the drama popular and makes glad the heart of - the treasurer and the manager. The farce -of "My Wife's Maid" closes 'the entertain ment on each evening, Messrs. Lennox, Ward and Miss Annie Ward appearing in - the cast. TILE WArmrr.—Clarke's engagement -continues to be a real triumph. This even lag the bill comprises no less than four pieces while for his benefit to-morrow - night blarke appears in "She Stoops to Con --quer," "He's Jack Sheppard" and "The Practical Man." The humor and grotesque physical aspect of Clarke when on the stage :seems to become more comical every day, and his admirers never seem to tire of them. TH.E Axe Hosmer presented herself as Partherua, in " Inngomar the :Barbarian," last evening, to a fashionable .audience. The drama, as our readers know, is so graceful that it almost "plays itself;" - though we were glad to see the ." points" made by Miss Hosmer. Her personation was quite uneven, and as we have said of - her acting of another part, lacked tender mess and mellowness. Where tragic emotion was called for in its strength she showed it,, 'but where playfulness, ease and quietness were demanded she was lacking. Still, the -drama passed off pleasantly and the audi ence went away exclaiming with the hero .and heroine the the two lines of the piece which are best remembered. Ingomar is one of Mr. Tilton's strongest characters. He dresses it well and acts it with care and discrimination, as those who have seen it are aware. Mr. Mackay played Myron better than we ever saw it lione, and Mr. Wallis's Polydor was, as it always is, ad mirable. This evening Miss Hosmer ap pears in " The Stranger," and " Tarn Him -Out" will also be given. For her benefit, to-morrow, Miss Hosrner appears in "Ion," and on Saturday her very successful en sagement closes.

On visiting the "Home" a few days since, I was greeted and warmly welcomed by Air. Siegfried, the Superintendent. After many inquiries and questions in reference to the purposes and designs of himself and those who are laboring with him,.l learned that their purpose during the present winter was principally to feed and clothe destitute wo men and children,,and also give to the little ones shelter, loding and schooling. But, that they designed, with the aid of a gene rous and Christian people, to build and es tablish, if possible, a permanent " Home" in this city, for the 'support, education, and moral training of outcast and destitute chil dren—taking them from the haunts of idle new, crime and degradation, and restoring them to society, virtue, and industry. I also received every assurance and evidence of the truthfulness of the statements made in the newspapers; and, it is only necessary for any one who doubts the truth of those statements, to accompany the Superinten dent one tour through the purlieus of Baker; Bedford, Spofford and other kindred Streets, • to be fully convinced of the realities. I was then shown through the building, now occupied by the "Home." In the rear of the office, on the first floor, is a large room, which serves the double purpose of dining, and washing and ironing room. On the second floor is the school room, which 'was at the time occupied by from fifty to sixty children, with two or three lady teachers engaged in their instruction in the various primary lessons. The majority ot the children were intelligent-looking and interesting and all clean and neatly clad. In the rear of the sehool room is a fine, large play-room for the recreation of the children. The third-storyis entirely occupied as sleep ing apartments, with clean, comfortable beds. A semi-monthly newspaper called the Evangelist, is published at the "Home," and edited by the Rev. Mr. Siegfried; it contains many truthful narratives as well as receipts' for all donations made to the "Home." Mr. Siegfried assured me that every appeal thus far has been generously and nobly re sponded to by a sympathizing and Christian people; and hundreds of almost naked and starving women and children have been clothed and fed by their bounty; and every assurance is given that they will continue to respond and maintain their well merited good name for charity and benevo lence. Yes ! give, you that have "enough and to spare." "Whosoever shall give to one of these little ones a cup of cold water, &c., shall in no wise lose his reward."—Mat. You will in the future receive the bless ings of many who are now "Little Wan derers." Thousands will also bless the founder of the "Home." Yours, Strike Among Bolling Mill Workmen. at Pittsburgh. [From the Pittsburgh Despatch of Wedneeclan Yesterday the fires were put out and work ceased in all rolling mills, excepting per haps that of 4on, Shorb & Co., and one other. This resulted from a "strike" among the employes, occasioned by , the employers having materially reduced the wages of their hands, The mechanics and laborers claim that, even at the rates for which they have been hitherto working, they can barely manage to' make a living, and that the present is an inauspicious time to reduce their wages, as rents are going up at a fearful rate, while nearly all of the necessa ries of life are sold at very high prices. They further maintain their ability to "stand out" ici for an_indefini e period, and hold that the employers will eventually he forced to come ployers state at to continue .paying the to terms. Up° the other hand, the !em high rates d mended would be sim ply ruinous, and - that they would make more money by shutting up their works than by running them at old prices. The marketis well stocked with iron, and they say it is utter folly on the part of the em ployes to attempt to coerce them into the payment of higher wages than the rates recently.ngreed upon, which is as follows: For Rolling, $7 . 00 per ton of 2,240; Bar Mill Rolling, $4 00 per ton of 2,240; Bar Mill Heating, $1 00 per ton of 2,240; Bar Mill Catching, 621 cents per ton of 2,240; Guide Mill Rolling—To take off last advance leaving the $4 00 . list at the present price Muck Rolling, 0 cents per ton of 2,240 Sheet Rolling, 20 per cent, reduction;_ Plate No. 10 and hea • 'er, $5 62l per ton of 2,240 Wallett, the 81.ourrt, having made his mark.

Dublin, Tipperary and Waterford Pro claimed Under the Arms Act---Ex traordinary Precautions in London ---The Custom House and Go -vernment Offices Under Dou ble Guard--The Great Dock Fire Believed to Have Been the Work of a . Fenian--Progress of the Trials, &c. From the London News, Jan. 16.] A supplement to the Dublin Gazette, pub lished on Saturday evening, contains notices proclaiming the county and city of Dublin, the county of Tipperary and the county and city of Waterford. The proclamations were posted throughout the city on Tuesday, but were not long up (says the Dublin Eepress) until they were torn and defaced by having pieces of green paper pasted over the word "Queen," making the last sentence read "God save the Green." Among those which were torn down was one which had been posted at the City Hall, which, we need hardly remind our readers, is in the immediate vicinity of the Castle, and next door to the head police office. Notwithstanding the large force of police promenading the streets, we have not heard of an instance in which the persons who committed these outrages have been ar rested. The effect of these proclamations is, that from to-day in Dublin, and the 17th in Tipperary and Waterford, it .becomes a misdemeanor, punishable by two years' imprisonment, with or without hard labor, for any person to carry or have, except in his dwelling house, arms or ammunition of any description in any of the proclaimed districts. Officers in the various branches of her Majesty's service, special constables, and the holders of game certificates, are specially excepted from the provisions of the act. Offenders are liable to be appre hended by any person and delivered into the custody of the police, and the magis trates or the police are empowered to search suspected persons. The Freedman's Journat of yesterday says : "Soon after the proclamation had been published anxious groups were to be seen collected reading it on all the places it was posted, and; the police received infor mation that pikes, pistols, swords, ammu nition, drill books, &n, were being made away with as quickly as possible by con cealing them in most ingenious places, or by throwing them bito the river and canals. Many who had not read the proclamation attentively, or who had been misinformed concerning it, thought that the search for arms , ammunition, etc., would commence on Sunday; and for that reason the greatest vigilance was exercised by those who were afraid of the police visiting their houses to make an 'overhaul' for pikes revolvers, rifles, cite. On Sunday evening some constables of the E division proceeded to a field in the neighborhood of Harold's-cross, where in a haystack they found twenty pikes, ready fer immediate service. In the same locality, on the road, a bundle was found, which, on being opened was discovered to consist of a military cloak, composed of superfine green clotth, with red facings, and secured at the collar with a solid gold chairf and clasps, also two green tunics with red facings, bearing the initials of 'The Irish Republic.' All this uniform was elegantly finished, and was evidently the property of some person who had recently returned from America, as the ~ loth and style of workmanship . areforeign. In the Grand Canal uniform coats of a similar kind were found. [From the London Shipping Gazette, Jan. 15,1 Recent events have convinced the govern ment that the dangers from Fenianism are not confined to Ireland. London is no safer than Dublin. and it has been thought neces sary to take extraordinary precautions in the public offices to guard against fire. The late great fire in St. Katherine's Dock was always believed to be the work of an in cendiary, and common rumor now asserts the criminal's political creed was summed up in the word Fenian A repetition of this catastrophe in the Cus tom House and the government offices in Somerset House is dreaded by the authori ties, and extra divisions of police are con sequently sent in to patrol the buildings by night. A police galley is also moored opposite the Custom House, from which a watch is kept on the quay, and any attempt on the building from the river would be frustrated. There may possibly be no foundation for the rumor upon which these steps have been taken but the fact of so much having been tne proves that the indifference of the general public is not shared by the officers of the government. (From the Irelandmes, Jan. 16.] The leaders in captured with the. utmost facility and consigned to a convict prison, the leaders in America apparently more ready to destroy each other than the British government—thesie and similar in stances, might well impress, and doubtless have impressed, the European nations with the idea that the bubble is burst and the whole danger at an end. We should be very glad indeed could we conscientiously sub scribe to these opinions. If the Fenian con spiracy had been like its predecessors, had it spread its ramifications tfirough the differ ; ent ranks of society and depended upon some high directing intelligence, such would un doubtedly have been the case. In ordi nary plots, as in the more highly organized animals, if you strike off the head the whole scheme collapses. But a lower organiza- I tion has its advantages as well as its draw !backs, and creatures about which it is doubtful whether they deserve the name of animals at all are capable of sustaining in juries which would be fatal to any of a an perior type. Fenianism, so far as we know 'of it, rests on no far-sighted ;and compre hensive scheme, but upon the most vulgar 'appeal to the most vulgar passions. The Inducements it holds out are the gratifica tion of covetousness and envy, the division ;of the property of the rich among the poor, ,and the slaughter of those whom rank and Social distinction of any kindwonld naturally render formidable opponents to such an at tempt. Something is said about freeing Ireland from:the English yoke; but that is really onlyput forward because so long as Ireland is connected with ,England= the Varrox. OUR WHOLE COTTN'TRY THE FENIANS. .plunder of her property and the slaughter of her upper classes would be impossible. It is not between Ireland and England,after all, so much as between the upper and lower classes of Irishmen that the struggle is to take place. Fenianism has no high and ennobling cause to fight for. There is little enthusiasm in it, but a great deal of selfishness and great desire to plunder. The bond that, unites the brethren is not any particular affection or veneration for each other, but the desire to combine for the commission of a common crime. To a body so circumstanced the loss of a few men a little, and only a very little, raised above themselves is a trifle. They are unable to estimate the power of the British government, but they form a much Xster opinion as to the value of each other. We, therefore, do not expect, as we have before said, that we have heard the last of Fenianism. The very circumstances that appear to render it contemptible give it vitality, and it hag ill it the power of uniting again and again, though it may have lost its most important members. 'The Dublin Trials. The trial of Cornelius Oldshoney, who had been assistant bookkeeper in the Irish People office, had ended in his being con victed (after being tried twice in conse quence of the second jury not agreeing) and sentenced to five years' penal servitude. The prisoner O'Keefe, the editor of the Irish People, when sentenced was passed upon him, mmplained,in a speech described as remarkably able, that so far from the paper appearing to be obnoxious to the go vernment, it was actually encouraged by it. For six months that journal was allowed to run on without the necessity for its registra tion being enforced. Then it was registered, and the sanction of the government appear ed thereby to have been given to it. Removal of the Convicts. [Dublin (1an.17) correspondence of the London Times.] The following prisoners, convicted of Fe nianism at the Cork Special Commission, were yesterday morning conveyed from Mountjoy, under a strong escort of the 10th Hussars, to the Westland row railway , station, for transmission, per Holyhead steamer, to Pentonville prison: Charles 11. O'Connell, Barry, Casey, Du man, Dillon, Lynch, Hayes, Kinneally, O'Donovan and O'Regan SHIPWRECKS. More Disasters at Sea- - -Loss of an English Steamer and Two Hun- fired and Seventy Lives-- Wrecks of American Vessels, &c. The latest European advises inform us that the steamship London, for Melbourne, bad foundered at sea. Two hundred and seventy lives were lost. Sixteen of the crew and three passengers were saved. The ship Palmyrus, from Liverpool for New York, was totally wrecked and one life lost. The ship ! Excelsior, for New York, had • ut back, owing to the mizzentop sails being ost. The ships supposed •to have been lost during the late gales number between three and four hundred. Loma of the American Ship Christiana— Heroic Rescue of the Crew. (Pr= the London Times, Tan. 18. I The Christiana, an American- vessel of eight hundred tons, which set sail on the Ist of December from London, bound for New 'fork, Captain Joseph Henry Hammond, Commencer, became a wreck on the 20th of December, about midway between London and New York. She had previously lost all her sails in a gale which commenced on the 3d of December off the Isle of Wight. The carpenter and one of the sailors were washed overboard and lost by the breaking of the bowsprit. A rope was thrown to save them, but in vain. The boat on the verandah was torn from its fastenings and blown over board. The boat on the port side got a hole knocked in its side, and that on the forecastle was blown overboard and lost. The life boat on the starboard side was only a little injured. It was afterwards repaired. Both the spare-spars got from their fastenings and rolled about the deck breaking the bulwarks on each side. The bowsprit was hanging by chains and beating with de structive violence against the bottom. This painful state of suspense lasted several hours, every one fearing that the next moment might be the last. At length a heavy sea dashed over the ship and tore away the bowsprit from the chains. Tne ship was now a helpless wreck. On the 26th of December the Catharine Boyd, an American vessel, came in sight; spoke with the Christiana, and promised to wait till the sea moderated, and take all hands off her. She was in sight next morn ing; but towards night was lost sight of and seen no more. An anxious lookout was kept from then tilt January 7th, but no sign of another sail appeared until nine o'clock, P. M. when the first mate shouted the long hoped for intelligence that the light of a ship was to be seen to windward. Rockets were sent up and blue light burnt on, board the Christiana, and in a short time the gratifying sight of a reply was observed from the strange vessel. At daybreak on Deember Bth the flag of distress was hoisted and the signals, "Send me a boat," hung out. Soon after eight o'clock a lifeboat came alongside the Christiana, which bore the name of the Varuna, a very fine vessel, belonging to Smith, Fleming tic Co., 1,350 tons, Captain Shepherd commander. At this time it blew a gale of wind, and the sea rolled heavily; but Mrs. Cross, of Manchester, and her three daughters, Mrs. Nelson, of Liverpool, and the wounded steward were successfully lowered over the side of the boat and got safely away. It was eleven o'clock before the lifeboat reached the Christiana on its second journey, and the swell of the sea had become so great that it was found imposible to get the boat alongside. It became necessary, therefore, that, in order to get off the Christiana, those on board should jump overboard with the life buoy. Captain Hammond went first, then Mr. Nelson, of Liverpool, and in that way all were got safely away by four o'clock, P. M. . The gallant little boat made four jour neys altogether, the swell of the sea being constantly on the increase. It would have been impossible in fact, for the boat to have made anotlier journey; forno sooner had the last man got out of it than a heavy sea dashed it to pieces against the 'side of the ship. The saving of the crew and passen gers of the Christiana was one of the noblest acts of heroism ever seen upon the seas, The Loss of the London. The particulars of the loss of the Austra lian steamer London are published. of two hundred and seventy persons only nineteen were saved. All women and children perished, as also did Bishop Wooley and the tragedian, Mr. G. V Brooke, as is stated. New Jersey" Matters. CAMDEN WATER WORKEL—At last the citizens of Camden have become earnestly awakened to a sense of duty to themselves, and are resolved to support the efforts of the 'City Council to purchase the Water Works from their present owners. The necessity of this measure is apparent from every consideration of justice, economy and prudence. The city of Camden ought to. own the works, and the interest of the citi zens demand tat it should. There is often such a small supply, that in cases . of fire it is impossible to obtain water enough. to 'fill an engine, even from three or four plugs, and they are so far apart that seldom suffi cient hose can be found to reach them Frequently, too, the water is entirelyshut off fora whole day, subjecting housekeep ers to great inconvenience, leaving them destitute at the time when they may most need that article. All appeals to the Com pany in regard to these things have hereto fore proved unavailing, and now the people have taken the matter into their own hands, and through their City Councilmen are ne gotiating for the purchase of the entire works. In due time the arrangements will be completed, and the transfer made to the city. The moment this is accomplished many and advantageous improvements are to be made. Larger mains and distributing pipes will be laid down, in order to give a greater volume of water; the engine and pumps will be improved and kept in repair; the basin will be thoroughly cleaned and purified, so that a pure and constant supply of water can always be relied on. CITY FrwaNcEs.—During the month of January, aceording to the report of the Finance Committee of Councils, James C. Sloan collected for North Ward on account of special tax, $46; on tax warrant of 1865, for school purposes, $lO4 85; for city and Ward purposes, $844 66; leaving a balance still uncollected of $11,147 66. For Middle Ward,,James W. Ayres, had collected, for school purposes, $73 35, City and Ward, $6Ol 38, balance dne $6,260 81. John W. Campbell, for South Ward, collected for school purposes, $66 10; City and Ward, $1,542 12; balance unpaid, $9,522 17. Samuel W. Thoman, Clerk of Council, bad received $404 for licenses. According to instructions, the Mayor, Paul C. Budd, had disbursed to the families of volunteers $l,OOO. CENTENARY.—The New Jersey Confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal Church will hold its inaugural meeting on the occasion of the centenary of Methodism in the State, on the 7th inst., at the Third Street M.

Carme played several games yesterday, with Phelan, merely, as he remarked (with a very broad a) "to Carme his Phelans." Dr. Eyster while attempting to cross the Susquehanna recently, made a narrow escape. The wind and cold blinded him, and he stepped into an air hole. His cries attracted some persons, who hastened to bhp with a rope, which was thrown to him, but he was so much paralyzed that he could neither hold it nor tie it around him, but seized it with his teeth, and in this way was rescued from a watery grave. To think that the above instance of one of the most striking paragrams—or puns—on record, should have escaped the attention of the press, is indeed harrowing. What one could have said !

The Richmond Dispatch says that a horri ble piece of butchery was executed on last Thursday morning near Williamsburg. William Clark and Shields, both deser ters from Company C, sth United States Ar tillery, stationed at Fortres.s Monroe, went to the house of Dr. Sterling and hired his rockaway and two horses. The Doctor sent a white man named Taylor to drive them. They started Thursday morning from Williamsburg on the road to Richmond, They went about two miles, when they or dered the carriage to stop, whereupon they both got out. Shields possessed himself of an axe which had been secreted there, ,and, concealing it under his coat, he got back into the vehicle, accompanied by 'Clark. They then continued their journey untilitheyoame to a bridge across a large creek,when Shields stood up in the carriage, behind the 'unsus pecting driver, and struck him a , violent blow on the head with the Naze. F. L. FEIIII3II.STON. This knocked the unfortunate man out of the carriage, but did not kill him life m ight up and ran that his life , e might be spared. He was, however, pur sued, and the blows of the axe fell upon hinz again and again until life was extinct. They then threw the lifeless body into the creek, and continued their journey. Dr. Sterling gained some information of the deed, and followed them. They passed_ through New Kent Court House and came on here. Information having been sent to the police, officers got on the track, and suc ceeded last Saturday morning, about four o'clock, in finding William Clark at the house of a Mr. Mac Jordan, on the Wil liamsburg, road about three miles from this city. He was asleep at the time' of his arrest. He immediately confessed his share of the bloody deed, and gave the particulars related above. He said he did - not know that• Shields intended to kill the driver, and gave him no assistance beyond helping him to throw the body of the murdered man hi the creek. He gave, further, the informa tion of the whereabouts of Shields. He said Shields had gone over to Petersburg to sell one of the horses. Captain Betts reached the city yesterday, between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, with Shields in custody. The prisoner represents that he was once a member of the 26th South Carolina Regiment, of the Confederate army and was subsequently transferred to thB: -- 18th Regiment from the same State. He was frequently an inmate of Castle Thunder. He was in Richmond for some months during the war, evading the service with the aid of "Maryland protection papers." which he must have obtained under false pretences. He is a desperate-looking fel low, and from his own account his life has been one of crime and abandontnent. Officer Washington Goodrich, in tracing the murder, found the running-gear of the rockaway on Gillie's creek, near Port Mayo, and lititio body of the vehicle near Oakwood Cemetiatsr, about a mile and a half from oreek. The body of the murdered. man has not vet been found. The parties will be tried by a military commission. eather for January.

The accident happened in this wise. One of the Nnen employed about the works, named Anthony, believing from the strong smell of gas that there was a leakage, took a lantern and went into the yard. When within a few feet of the door of the small building, used, we believe, for purifying purposes, the gas caught from the lantern, and communicating with that inside the building caused the explosion. Anthony was knocked down and covered with the debris. He was taken out not materially injured. The retorts were very little injured and we were informed by the men at the works yesterday that by Tuesday nighlt everything will be all right again.
