The Richings opera troupe began a twelve rights' engagement at the Arch Street Theatre last evening. with the opera ..11artha. The audi ence was large, and the greeting extended to the eompany was very warm and very hearty. The performance was entirely satisfactory, but as it was given by the same artists in the same man ner as it has been done many times at the Acad emy of Music, nothing can be said in its praise bat has not been said before. Miss Richings sang with her accustomed -accuracy and power; Mrs. Seguin, albeit not • entirely ruistresa of her sweet voice, was as charming as ever in her manner; Mr. Campbell gave the music of his role nobly, and Mr. Castle sang with infinite grace and ,sweetness. The chorus is large, and well trained. It is much more effec tive in the theatre than it ever has been in We Academy. The orchestra under Mr. Behrens' direction deserves much praise. The accom paniments throughout were played with discre tion and taste, and tho evidence of careful train leg was very apparent. This evening The Bohemian Girl will be given, and as it is a great favorite, there will be another crowded house. THEATRES, Etc.

SOUTH AMERICAN AFFA IRS LETTER FEODI LIRA. The Groat Catastrophe.:V,aller and Later Detaillg-Contintuttice or the Nhocics—Contrlbutlons to tho Bettor tend. f Con espondence of the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.l LIMA, August 21st, 1868.—1 am writing under the impression ofd terrible catastrophe. One half of our Republic has been successively gab merged by water, earth and fire. 'All the elements seemed to have combined Cs its ruin. We have just witnessed one of those colossal transforms, dons of the globe which make epochs in history, and open a new era in the existence of nations. The disconnection In whichthis litter is written merely shows the 'Oppressed state of mind under which we are all suffering in consequence of our narrow escape. Just before the last steamer left for the United States, a strange succession of shocks was felt In Lima, which, on account of its lasting as long as four minutes, and the strange manner in which it was felt, showed clearly that it was either the precursor of a great catastrophe or the remnants of those which have lately taken place in more distant regions. We were, howw• ever, not left long in uncertainty, for in the evening of the 18th, the very day of the first shaking, the sea commenced to retreat about Y. M., near Callao, and along the whole sea coast, presenting a most extraordinary appear ance; men it rushed back and covered with its waters the coast, destroying everything within its range, and causing desolation and death as the waves came up towards Lima. The princi pal business street of Callao was entirely under water, and whoever could not flee fast enough was doomed to death in the waves. Along Inc neighboring coast the water tore down the build ings and destroyed all the vessels. Pretty soon we heard through the telegraph of further dis asters along the Northern coast as far as Casma and Chaneay, from the combined effects of the earthquake and the Inundations. hi consequence of the terror caused by the Tuning aspect of the sea and the earth, a new caramity befell us. A fire broke out, which /aEteli from nine o'clock in the evening until the next day, and destroyed the most valuable part of the business. quarters of Callao. Tee most ex traordinary eflorts were made to master the Humes. bet it was all in vain, and sixty-two i.ti-iiners and warehouses were destroyed,causing the loss of many millions, while but little was insured, thus reducing many families to the utmost poverty. All this was, however, nothing in comparison a lib the reports of disasters which arrived suc cessively by the steamers from the Southern coast. Arequipa, the well fortified and strong Arequipa, the second city of the Republic,exists DU longer. Its temples and other buildings,con stnicted of stone, are to-day a hideous mass of ruin and rubbish, under winch are buried a pro portion of its inhabitanta.tA horrible earthquake, which lasted from eight to ten minutes and on e:cured at the same hoar as the one we felt in ..emu, left nut one stone on the other in this whole sell fortified city: shock followed after -heck in intervals of 30 to 60 minutes, for three tierys, and the last accounts from that un fortunate region say that the people were -cattered all over the mountains and fields, hard y able to support themselves. Moquehna, Taena, Arica, Iquique, Pi&NUB, cie., in other words, the whole south of the ea-public, have likewise been seized by the terrible .atastrophe. and the former inhabitants are dying )f thirst, hunger and exposure to the Inclement weather; they live in the fields and suffer in an .ndescribable manner. Nobody Ventures to mine near the towns yet, for the earth is still re-tabling fearfully- and tears asunder the heaviest walls 01 the handing& The earthquake was , verywhere followed by conflagrations, which could not be put out; and what is more terrible yet, is,that along the seacoast the rising waves have submerged all the settlements. In the port. of Arica the heaviest vessels have been thrown Ashore; thus we have lost our war-corvette zimet lest and the American war-steamers Fredonia and Wateree are likewise ruined. With the Fredonia alone two millions of dollars were lost,and four millions worth of merchan dise in the custom-house of Aries. The rich valley 01 Jambo, known for its valu ble sugar plantations, is entirely under water. 1 t 18 not known yet bow far back in the country be earthquake has caused destruction. but the whole seacoast is entirely ruined. What vessels were not foundered or thrown ashore,experienced di-astrous collisions against each ottier,and were smashed like so many nutshells. There are ac :onnts of earthquakes and tempests at different periods and places In the world, but there is none of a catastrophe in which all the elements seemed to combine for the destruction of man and the work of man. It is useless to give von all the de rails, some of which we do not even know our selves. The number of victims is not known yet; -till it seems to be comparatively small. The prisoners and the sick persons in hospitals, chil dren and crippled persons have all been buried under tse ruins, and in certain places in the Jam co valley every person living in it perished. The calamity has limited itself to Peru alto gether; nothing was felt in Chile; only In Cobija, a part of Bolivia, a shock was felt. Still, if the 'alamity is great, everything is done by the au thorities, the Peruvians, the foreigners, the clergy and by every class of society, to alleviate the sufferings of the ill-fated victims; our sailors, he well as those of the American men-of-war, reserve special praise for their heroic conduct. The Wateree lost only one man, but the America lost ber commander, surgeon, two officers, thirty men of the crew and the marines; those gurviving being in a very critical state. The French and American men-of-war were at once put at the disposal of the Government, and have now transported fresh water and provisions to the Southern districts; a number. of mechanics, engineers, surgeons, etc., have likewise been embarked on board of them to render assistance to their suffering fellow-creatures. Voluntary donations_ were_ made, and all honor is due to Mr. Alvarez Calderon, guano merchant, and Mr. E. Nleigs, contractor of the Arequipa liailroad,..each of whom gave $50,000. While the Enroyean settlers have distinguished themselves in every respect on this occasion, the three thou sand railroad laborers from Chile.dispersed, and are now pillaging the country; the Chileans in Peru always seem to be a drawback to this contr.; try. Colonel Herencia Zevallas has been proA claimed First Vice President of J im Republic, having been elected , by Congress.' The English Pacific Steam Company has renewed its contract with this Government for another term of font yeare,for the transportation of pasaengers and the mail. There will be a redaction of 25 per cent. in the prices for freight and passengers. Latest Date LIMA, August 27, 1868.—1 must correct the statement made in my first letter of the earth quake having done no damage beyond Cobij a (86- livia). Although it has not been felt in Chile, the sea has likewise retreated there, and it is strange that the earthquake of Peru was only felt in the most remote province of Chile.viz.: Talcahuano. On the 13th of August likewise, about 9 P. M., three very severe shocks were felt; the sea was agitated, retreated, and came back with re newed fury. As much as is known at present, the loss of persons in Chile amounts to from fitteen to twenty thousand. Strange phenomena have ap peared in different parts of , the republic; the sea appeared to be covered with ashes, and in seve ral pleees-the earth opened itself and threw out pestiferous waters. It is also said that in our beautiful and large Titicaca lake, whore tb:e movement ha hardly been felt at all, various islands have a peered from time to time. General %it atrick.

Evening Bat Vstramurso, August 15, 1868.—1 n our last let ter we gave an account of the depredations cora mßted by the Araucanians &ming the month o • July. They then announced their. Purpose of re.: turning at the time of the August moon, for the Indians always make their forays when the moon is at its full. Robberies of horses and other ex ploits of the same kind plainly show that the threats of the savages are no mere empty boasts, and a general rising may be expected at any mo ment. Persons who have a thorough knowledge of the Indiana and are wellinformed as to the nature of the insurrection, express their belief that the. Araucanian war will assume a serious character. in the Spring. The Government is resolved to prosecute hostilltk.a with all necessary vigor, and extend our frontier by appropriating as match territory as possible. The bill forthe increase of the army has been the subject of heated.debate In the Chamber of Deputies. Senor Laattuvice, formerly one of the Minister% opposed the plan of operations adopted by the Government, without, however, combat- It g the design of effecting the occupation of the territory. Atwater speaker, Senor Viettna.3lackenna, ap pealed to the history, of our ware in Arauco' to prove to the Chambet that the dogged resistance of the savages is due rather to the insufficiency of the means employed, for their subjugation than to their courage and love of independence. The Government imputes to the Jesuits the abandonment of the original plan of conquest.. Yielding to their counsels, the Spanish Govern ment relinquished military operations, and sup plied their place by missions, which were attended with very questionable success. But now it is the sword that is to cleave a way for the Cross through the closed ranks of the savages. The discussion provoked by the minority will be of some service to this undertaking. The Government will, perhaps, modify the system it has until now followed, its efficacy not being very apparent. It is curious to observe that 2,500 men have not been able to chastise the Indians nor prevent their robberies and murder. The insolence of these barbarians has risen to such a pitch that they demand to be treated as belligerents and not as revolted subjects. One of their chiefs, Cacique Quilapan ' is said to have sent a challenge to General Meta, proposing to end the war by single combat. It is needless to say that our army has no idea of furnishing mat ter for an epic poem, but simply proposes to oc cupy the territory at the least possible sacrifice. Congress has decided upon removing hither the remains of General O'Higgins, who died in exile in Peru. Posterity, more just than his con temporaries, has resolved to do honor to his memory. THE SOUTH AMERICA I D2SALSTER. Meteoric Phenomena—islectric Light Accompanying the Shocks-ftleciric lEffeet lUpon the Stair and Clothing -Facts for the Scientific. The direction of the shock was noticed to be from north to south. On the night of August 13 a brilliant light was observed in the northeast. It was a flash light and caused the observers to suspect a large conflagration at a great dis tances. It filled the space for about one half mile. We afterwards thought it might be due to the activity of some volcano, but thus far we have no knowledge of any neighboring volcano being in eruption, but judging from the nature of the damage done at lioenatha we are inclined to think that Mt. Tatupaca or some of the peaks around Candarave are at work. Some of my neighbors think the light was due entirely to electric causes. A letter from Tana asserts that durin , an "arthguake the light was visible there. Tee Gov ernor of Moquequa confirms the same. A letter from the latter place adds this fact, that an enor teou, development of electric fluid fills the at mosphere and that on passing the hands through one's hair or on shaking one's coat electric ks were struck off hi, abundance. The crater of Mount Apo broke and a portion Lll out; the same was the case with Mount Or tueta and some others of the Chachani. an Fxtraortlinary Meteor—lt Affeetw into ; nctic lot‘tromentt,i--Corions and Voittable lietaits front an Eye Wit HIO JANEIRO, August 8, 18G8.—A meteor. or ciente, P:11: , observed at early morn of the Jodi f July passing in a southwest direction from Rezende, in the south of the province of Rio Janeiro. into San Paulo. A scientific gentleman uamed Dr. Franklin Massena chanced to be look •rg at the horizon from the observatory at Itataya icd has communicated his observations, which re interesting from the fact that the meteor xerted great influence on the magnetic lustru ir en ts as it passed. The following is his COUILDU- LlieritiOD:— Suddenly, towards the east, at almost 30 deg. of the meridian, I saw an immense and him:it - al aerolite crossing to the southwest. I called Nlessrs. Arsenio and Veija, and together we watched the disappearance of the luminous body and its form and motion. Its form was that of ti globe, having an apparent diameter of about 13 miu.,and a tail ot 9 deg. in an elliptical curve, xteisding into space with an inclination of about au degrees. The tail was of an oval form and eery divergent towards the part away from the ..uclena The motion was made by the nucleus, the tail following its track. Both the tail - and the nucleus were as brilliant as electrical light, and emitted some, luminous drop or tear tike particles which threw out silvery sparkles with incredible rapidity. Six minutes after its meridian passage the body exploded towards the southwest. Such was the rapidity- with which it moved that in seventeen seconds it traversed a celestial area of 77 degrees, 41 minutes, losing itself be hind a hill at 5 hours, 55 minutes, 50 seconds. or 17 hours, 55 minutes, 50 seconds of true solar time. This aerolite so disturbed the magnetic instru ments that the daclinometer turned its pole from the north towards the West and stuck itself in the box where it found resistance; the horizontal manometer turned towards the west eight di visions of the scale; the vertical magnotneter fell in its centre of gravity; and, finally, the compass oscillated .15 degrees from north to west. I showed Senor Arsenio the disturbed state of the declinorueter. It is, therefore, demonstrated for physics that an aerolite has an intense action upon the North Pole of magnets, powerfully at tracting them. —A correspondent writes tans enthusiastically concerning the pianist Miss Allde Topp :—We first heard Miss Topp at an amateur concert, where her selections displayed the brilliancy of her execution rather than its more magnetic quality, and was so short as to give her audience only time to%e surprised. We heard her again when her subjects drew forth her whole re serve of feeling and power, and when the out burst of uncontrolled excitement and ap plause can only be imagined by those who witnessed Miss Topp's reception at the Music Hall in Boston. We heard her still again, at it matinee given to her by the ladies at Newport as a tribute to her genius,and the house was thronged with an eager and fascinated audi ence. But we have also 'heard her when she was conscious of no audience. A few days of our stay in Newport heti() been passed in the close neighborhood of Miss Topp's present home; and not the least pleasant of our recollections of this lovely Newport summer will be the dellciOus strains which havefloated late at night through our opened windows, recalling Shelley's maiden, "Soothing her love-laden soul in secret hour - With music ,sweet as love, which overflows her bower." —Why is a thief like a certain household utensil ? Because he is a base-'un. OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. Roebuck's I n Speech `!lbe following is the text of the speech made by Mr. Roebuck at Sheffield, in the presence of Reverdy Johnson. It will be remenffiered that it was condemned by'the English press as grossly discourteous "Mr. Roebuck, who met with a very warm re ception,eald--I feel most deeply the way in which you have received the mention or my manse. I regret the absence of my colleague on • this ems sion, and still more the occasion of it. I am called upon to return thanks for the House of Com mons. Thls I consider a great honor, for I have beanlong a member of the Houma Commons, and I may say, as Grattan said of another House of Commons, that I am now attending upon the hearse of the present House of Commons. The House of Commons has done for England what England will ever remember; and al though it May hive done it,slowly_lt has dorie It surely; and at last the present House of Com mons has admitted the people of the country to its 'administration and government. Therefore X say that we are bpnnd to thank the House of Commons for what it has done, and I take pride for myself for having been a party to it. [Cheers.' So much for the House of Commons, and now for the present occasion. I congratulate you, Mr. Master Cutler, on account of the distin guished guest whom you have at your right hand. 13e has come to us, as he tells us, under the belief that he is a minister of peace. He has come to us as the representative of the haughty offspring of a haughty parent, and 1 feel certain that in his hands there will be no degradation either to one coun try or to the other; that there will be no paltering with interests, no sham expressions of grandeur on the one side, or of humbleness on the other; but that we shall meet on terms of perfect equal ity and friendship, but desirous of doing all that can be done for the good of ourselves and of hu manity in general. And I hope and believe that Mr. Reverdy Johnson, from his character and his untecedents,will so condnct negotiations between this country and his (i‘N - that there will be no lack of honor on one aide or the other. Cheers.] Now, sir,l believe that if I were prudent I should finish; but I am not a prudent man, and meeting here, as I believe, many friends,' wish to explain to them the feelings of my mind on the great changes that have occurred in the govern ment of the country since we last met in this hall. Now, first of all, we must understand and ac knowledge that the government of this country is no longer'in the hands of the aristocracy as re presented by Lord Whartudiffe, or of the middle classes as represented by the Master Cutler. The government of this country is now in the hands of the working classes ; we must not conceal this fact from ourselves; the thing has been done, and we must endeavor to meet it. Then comes the question which I wish to talk to you about— whether we must expect good or not from it. Now. I art glad to have Mr. Reverdy Johnson ors%the right of the Master Cutler on this occasion, because this change has already been made in America, bat, as I believe,made un der more unfavorable conditions than inrimgland. The circumstances have been more favbrable in America than in England, because of the almost boundless power which it possesses of giving grants of land to all comers, which we have not; but more unfavorable because there is poured into America a tide of corruption, a peculent torrent of almost all the vice and turbulence of Europe_ We see the wild Irishman, the fiery Frenchman, the assassinating Italian, and the dumbfounded Sprinter d, all going out in one mass end wishing to fulfil their expectations in the mind of Ame.ica. This we are free from. Our expe riment hi England is made with our own people alone; we have Englishmen, we have Scotchmen, (ind we have Irishmen. but we have them alone to deal with; and my belief is so strong in the good feeling of my countrymen that I feel no harm will happen from having granted political lower to them. After this, no man certainly 11, ill be able to say that we are cursed or misled by the aristocracy, for the government of the country will be in the hands of the people; and. although I believe that this government will be for the interests and advantage of all classes, I wish to call attention to this fact_ I am told that in America the better educated classes have withdrawn themselves from political Lie—that they have been ousted and driven into the background by the vast population which hes grown up around them. The educated classes in America have stepped aside from the political torrent, perfectly contented with their ot, and, feeling that they will be perfectly safe. have let political affairs settle in the hands of what may be called the buccaneering portion of society. I consider there is a great danger in this, and, so thinking; I ask you to take part in t very political movement. I don't ask you to coerce anybody as landlords; but what I do ask of A ou is to act on the principle laid down by Jeremy Bentham, and to make great and most pregnant distinction between the power of will and the power of mind over mind. The power of will means the power of the landlord to coerce his tenants; that I do not ask you to do; but I will ask you to exert the power of mind over mind. and, further, I ask you to tell your workmen what you believe to be fair and right—not coer cing, but letting them do exactly as they like. [hat is in our power,if we do not withdraw from our present position, under a new feeling of in teriority created by the present law. It would be enwise to take up that position; but tell the men :hider you what you believe to be right, and let it cork in their minds; then I believe we shall see a hat has never before been seen—a people gov erned by ':self. America does not do it, there is eovernment of a people outside America; but here we shall have a people inside ourselves, and of that people I ask. us 1 ask of you, not to be coerced by anybody, not to be misled or fright cued by any trade unions, not to be anything but Englishmen considering simply the good of your ountry. I Cheers. I ask you. workmen of this town, to have confidence in yourselves and in the dignity of your own nature.not to be coerced or frightened by anybody, but do what you think right as your country demands. I Loud cheers. Mr. Bright has issued his address to the electors of Birmingham - . He says that a larger measure of redistribution instill wanted, and he regards the adoption of the ballot as of great imoortance. The hon. gentleman then proceeds:—"Yon know my views on the Irish Church Establishment and on the land question. In dealing with the Irish Establishment we are not promoting the spread of the Roman Catholic or damaging the influence f the Protestant religion. We do not touch re igion at all. We deal only with the political in sutntion, which has wholly failed to secure any good object, and which has succeeded only In weakening the loyalty and offending the sense of justice of the great majority of the Irish people. Our opponents speak of their zeal for Protestantism, and their loyalty to the Constitution. I prefer a Protestantism which is in alliance with Christian kindness and with jus tice, and soy loyalty to the Constitution leads me to wish for the hearty union of the three king dom, in allegiance to the Crown. I believe that Christianity and the Constitution, will be alike strengthened in these islands by the removal' - of the Irish Church Establishment. The "minority . clause" Mr. Bright regards as an ontrageotta 1710. 'talon of constitutional principles and practices. "The great town .constituencies"' he says, "have carried the wise changes which have been forced upon Parliament of late years, and the 'minority clause' has been enacted to lessen their power, and to reduce them to the level of email boroughs which return only one member to Parliament." An American Actor in London. A man named Fairelough has appeared in London with the title of "The Great • American Tragedian." Tile Pall Atoll Gazette speaks as follows of his attempt to personate "Hamlet :" "Regiments of such Hamlets as Mr. Fairelough have appeared and disappeared in Loudon, leav ing no mark upon the public memory.

He Indulges in long pauses, and always speaks with extreme deliberation. His voice laminated, and his elocution proceeds in a sort of dead march time. A vivacious actor once backed himself to play 'Hamlet' all through In two hours 'and , make nothing of it.' Mr. Fairciongh takes a ranch longer time with no very different result. He Is, - perhaps, the slowest Hamlet that was ever, seen, and he is also the tamest." rrench 'revoke in Home.

"What guarantees are required?" Is the natural inquiry The Florence Italie points out that article four of the September Convention has been complied with by Italy, who has assumed her share of the debt of the States of the Church. The final act was signed on the 31st of July by. Count Cam bray Digny and Baron Sialaret. "On all sides," ihe Florence Journal says, "It is an nounced that this act is to be followed by the withdrawal of the troops that re-occupied in 1867, like as the act of Seventh of december, 1866, brought about the departure of the last troops of the 1849 occupation." The last-named act established the principal and fixed the amount in round numbers. The act of the 31st of July concludes and perfecta the transaction. Italy having thus fulfilled her obligations, and there being not the slightest danger of fresh Godbold ian enterprises, there seems no reason why France should still occupy the Papal States. Bat she makes as yet no sign of departure. Garibaldi's' Resignation. The Florence correspondent of the IN , 6cits says that the resignation of Garibaldi has caused but little sensation. "Garibaldi," he adds, "lives alone in retirement at Caprera; he sees nobody, and is said to suffer considerably. As he does not appear in the chamber, it matters little whether he is or is not a member. Nothing indicates that he is meditating. any sort of enterprise, and as his position as a deputy was a protection rather than a trouble to him, his resignation would ap pear to prove that he is really W, and is withdrawing from the scene." The Italian jour mils do not, however, hold this view. The Mori motto, of Genoa, says that Gen. Garibaldi has re signed because he feels that the Opposition Is powerless for good, as it Can merely assist in the realization of the plans of a fallen Minister. The Gazzetta d'ltalia declares that the General considers the union of the men of Aspromonte and Mentana with those who fired on him and twice made him prisoner as an act of political im morality, and that his resignation Is a manifest vote ol want of confidence in the party. The Ear hquake at Gi braltar. I From the London Shipping Gazette.) The occurrence of an earthquake at Gibraltar and the renewal of the eruption of Mount Vesu vius are considered by the Daily News to afford proof that the whole district covered by Lhe Me eiterraman and the adjacent shores forms but one earthquake district. The evidences of simul taneous or reciprocal action are sufficiently nu merous and striking to leave little room for doubt on the subject. For nearly fire eentu rie-, from the commencement of the thirteenth, the Southern parts of Italy, Sicily, the litecian Archipelago, and the shores of Asia Minor were disturbed by frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, whilst the earthquake district of Syria and Judea was al most quiet. In a similar way it has been noticed that when Etna has been in a state of great ac Vesuvius has been quiescent, and vice , f /SU, thus showing that but one vent of the vol canic district is required at one time. On the ether hand. the Southern parts of the Spanish peninsula have often been devastated by grea .rttiqualtes simultaneously with Northern Africa. It may appear at first sight unreasona hle to draw at once from simultaneous and rom nonsireultaneous disturbances, au • evi dence cf the intercommunication of subter ranean forces. But in reality one phenomenon shows that the escape of elastic fluids and lava by one outlet gives a sensible relief to re :dons of which another volcano is usually the safety-valve: the other phenomenon shows that in some cases a single centre of subterranean dis turbance may require simultaneous relief al two or more outlets. Regarding Ve suvius as one of the Inobt important safety-valves of the earthquake district of Southern Europe, the Daily News thinks we have every reason to be satisfied with the activity of the volcano. Since ltd the mountain has rarely been at rest for more than ten years to gether. and some of its eruptions arc the most memorable on record. That of 182.2 carried away the whole of the upper part of the moun tain, forming an abyss 2,008 feet deep and three euarters of a mile broad. Median Feeling Ag:titist France. Letters from Florence say that the popular feeling against General La Marmora as a repre sentative of the French alliance Is just now very strong. A short time since a stone was thrown at him as be was passing through the streets, nd the day before an anonymous placard posted upon the walls of Florence announced that he had left for Paris, and that the Prussian ambas sndor had taken down his flag. The feeling against France had been much embittered by the recent dispute respecting the campaign of 1 AtIG. The Snsvie.n Armi. A St. Petersburg telegram states that an Im perial ukase has been issued granting unlimited furlough to all troops who, on the Ist of January, 1868, had served thirteen years in.the army and limited furlough to all those who on that date had served ten years. The only troops excepted from the operation of this decree are those in the military district of Warsdw, where furloughs will not, be grantee , until after the Emperor's ap proaching visit to that city.
