Thursday, Septeinberii, 1868. FOREIGN TifiADU PIIIIIADEL- PHIA. Looking over the clearances of the port of Philadelphia, as reported each day in the BULLETIN, one gains fresh' ideas concerning the extent of our foreign commerce. In the last two weeks we have , noticed especially a large number of shipt, mad brigs departing hence Tor European polls, viz: To Liverpool, 3; London, 1; Dunkirk,ll; Cork, 2; Bremen, 1; -Hamburg, 1; Konigiburg, 1; Stettin, i; Gibraltar, -2; Naples, 2; Genoa, 2; Leghorn, t; Ancona 1, and Venice,,2—in all twenty-one departures for European ports alone. A few years ago such a thing was not dreamed of as the departure of tea vessels in two weeks lorXediterranean ports. Direct commerce with Venice was also- an unimagined thing. So, too, of Stettin and Konigsberg, which, like Venice, have increased in commercial importance under the political events of the last few years. Most of the vessels for Eu rope, included hi the list we have given, were laden with , petroleum, the great Penn sylvania production, which its needed all aver the world, and which can be procured and shipped at Philadelphia to ' more advantage than at' any other port. This article is 'ming our once almost extinct direct trade with .European ports, even Without any great exertions on the part of of our boldness men. If they - were to go to work energetically' and harmoniously to establish one or two lines of good passenger steamships to :Europe; we should , -soon have a foreign commerce , well worth boasting of. Even now, with the trade to the West Indies, South America mid the 'British Provinces brought also into ‘eonsideration, the port of Philadelphia has a very -respectable foreign trade, *which is .growing at quite a rapid rate. When the-amendment to the Legal Tender bill, which-made the interest on Five-Twen ties payable , in gold was passed l in the House, a majority of the Republic:an members voted against it. :Every Democrat, (two only excepted) •voted for it. They were quite right in so doing. It ought to be paid in gold, but how comes it that we find Mr. Charles J. Biddle, of the Age, Mr. George H. Pendleton, Mr. Clement L. Vallandighant, and other gentlemen wko Are now howling such anathemas against the "bloated bondholders," voting in Congress to pay them their interest in gold? Congress could have passed a bill, had it chosen to do so, paying their interest in greenbacks, and then the people -could have taken the loan or not .as they thought proper. But theseDemocrat4, aided only by a minority of the .Republicans, decided that the payment should be in gold, and so stands the bond. It is a Democratic measure, of which we entirely approve; but the Biddies and Pendleton ought not to abuse and disown their own offspring. Colonizing from Maryland is one of the methods to be resorted to by Copperheads to carry the election in Pennsylvania. They hope that by transferring returned rebels from Maryland across the border into York,Adams, Pranklie,Ftdton,Bedford and Soinerset coun ties, they may be able to defeat the Republi can .State ticket in October, and that done, they may the more easily carry the State for Seymour and Blair. The State authorities, and the Republican leaders in the border , counties, ought to keep a close watch for all attempted importations of illegal voters; There is sot the slightest doubt that the little victory of the Democrats last year was won by fraudulent voting. The same genie will be tried on a grander scale this year. But it can be frustrated by energetic work and close vigilance. One of the oalumns of the old Pennsyl vania Bank building in this city has been given to the Wilmington and Brandywine Cemetery Company, of Wilmington, to be used as a soldiers'anonument. This is an ex cellent. Use to which to put the old columns. But we protest against calling the presenta lion a ”donation," instead of a gift. "Donate" emd "donation" are bastard Latin words, and not half as good as "give" and "gift," which arc good Anglo-Saxon. But Secretary Mc Cni:och writes to the Mayor of Wilmington that he has decided to "donate" the columa, and the architect Mr. Mullett, writes to Mr. Noneg, enclosing the papers "donating" it, arc. We protest against the use of the word, on general principles; but it ought to be espe ially repudiated by good Americans, be ,tause oir_ee the "dough-faces" of the North have shrunk into a small, minority, there ought to be no such word recognized as tiongh-nation, except la tier Msjesty's dough minion of Canada. is a single club - that paraded on Tuesday night, at the Union League meeting, there tnanhed.,t y vexity-five then' who voted the Demoy„r4id ticket Ituit Big atraw, /kph "~; v: The sensation of "heavy gains in Vermont and Blaine" does not seem to spread with any very great rapidity among the Democracy. One of the most distinguished pillars of that interesting party) in Philadelphia remarked, day before yesterday, that he had entertained strong hopes of carrying Philadelphia this Fall, but tbat recently there had been a great change of public sentiment, which he could not at all account for, and the Republicans seemed to be carrying all before them. Sa gacious old pillar! We refer our readers to the phonographic report in to-day's paper of General Sickles's great speech, delivered at the Union League Mass Meeting, on last Tuesday evening. It is full of sound argument, brilliant rhetorie and telling humor, and will richly repay a thorough perusal. THE Of IFENBACII lILIDNESS. The single argument upon which M. Offen bach's apologists rely in attempting to defend him and his productions is the undeniable fact that he is popular. An individual or a cause of which wiling better can be said than this, badly needs vllser and More valiant champions than any that have arisen to do battle for opera bouje. We are earnest believers in the sound republican theory that majorities should rule. Bat majori t les are not , necessarily always right; and the universal history of mankind proves that popu larity, so far from being a true guaranty of excel lence, is oftener the certain assurance of charla tanry and worthlessness. Communities, like individuals, are subject to occasional fits of mad ness, during which the wildest theories, the most chimerical schemes, the insanest projects, engage the attention of vast masses of people, who forget for the time the teachings of their experience and the promptinge of their common sense, and abandon themselves to folly, which ends in ruin and disaster. This wholesale lunacy has expended Itself in almost every department of human affairs; in re.. tigton, as in the Crusades, and in many modern "revivals" of religion; in the kindred belief in sir pernatural agencies, as in the various witch ma nias and in spiritualism; in the multitude of senseless and aimless wars which derived their inspiratiele from popular enthusiasm; In agricul ture, as the tulipomania, and the rnorus multi caulis madness; in Lusieess, as in the South Sea bubble, the Mississippi echeme, the recent potro_ leutu excitement, and in a multitude of others that need not be mentioned. Art has not es - coped, and we do not lack examples to illustrate the fact, even if we do not cite the present popu larity of Offer. ba ch'e compositions. In the last century, the progress of musical drama in England was wrested for a time by pre cisely such a popular frenzy in favor of a bastard opera, as that which now esista in this country, to the detriment of genuine musical culture. In the first decade of the eighteenth century, Italian opera had been successfully introduced upon the Enp,lisji stage, and with great singers to interpret the inspirations of great masters, it seemed to rest upon secure and substantial foundations. Handel was then in England, and his composi tions were all written for the Italian stage. These were not his noblest productions, but they were specimens of high art, and were as much better than the compositions that supplanted them, as Mey crbeer's operas to-day are superio r to the medleys of Offenbach. In 1725,Gay wrote The Beggar's Opera. This was a musical farce, pomade g some literary merit, but uttterly de_ basing and vicious in its tendencies. It was made up of song and sentiment, Intermixed with rascality and vies. The music, consisting for the most part of old melodies—often Scotch—wedded to new words was generally very good, but it was prostituted to a base use. It lent attractiveness to a per formance of which highwaymen and cut-throats were the heroes, and in which every character, with the single exception of the heroine, was de based and vicious. The whole country went mad over this production, and the natural result of such an exaltation of criminals and crime, was. evinced 4n the general demoralization that ensued. Highway robbery, murder and de bauchery became more common. Footpads took the sentimental view of their profession, and as sassins slit weasands to the tune of one of "Mae heath's" songs. Ladies chanted the praises of pickpockets, and carried the words of the ballads about upon their fans. "The morals of thou sands," says a contemporary writer, "were hope lessly corrupted ;" and the shameless indecency of the time reached a climax, when Lavinia Fen on—the original "Polly" in the opera—was led to the altar, amid universal acclamation, by the Duke of Holten, although all the world knew her to be a woman of the most depraved and cor rupt character. The success of this piece sealed the fate of legi timate opera for many years. It was followed by other burlesque operas, some of them posses sing musical,. merit, but nearly all of them as vilely immoral as The Beggar's Opera. Handel was neglected and forgotten. Assisted first by the nobility, and relying afterwards upon his per sonal exertions, he strove to breast the tide that threatened to overwhelm art. Opera after opera came from his prolific pen, but all were unsuc cessful; and in atter despair, shattered in health, rained in fortune and half broken-hearted, he abandoned opera forever. In some measure, Offenbach has duplicated the insanity that Gay originated. In this country, where it is professed that we can appreciate and encourage high art, there are to-day no less than four or five burlesque opera companies, and not ono Italian or German troupe. The Alma,' music of Offenbach is sung, played, whistled, hummed, ground and drummed; and crowds of decent people are found who flock to witness in decent representations of operas, by the side of which Ga3's pastoral is the perfection of purity and a very model of virtue. And thegreater dis credit Is with the people of this, generation. Gay had much talent, and the songs of his opera—. some of theta written by abler poets—were sung to lannitely sweeter music. He lived, too, in a time v. hen there was greater license in the use of language than there can be now, and when mo rality was not no exacting. Offenbach has nei ther beautiful music nor engaging dialogue, and his haw dry is a deliberate violation of the refined sense of the nineteenth century. If Gay was the "Orpheub of highwaymen," Offenbach is the half-bestial Pan of pruriency. The merit of his music has already been suffi ch Oily discussed. Its utter emptinesiand-worth lessr ess is assured now to every true musician. Time Kill convince the people of It. The repeat ed assertion that, simply because it is music, it must therefore contribute to popular culture, is a pretense. A flash novel does not assist the cause of popular education because it is literature. The eficet of false art,snd shallow, unreal, untrue art, is retrogressive. It is as impossible to transfer one's admiration from F'idelio to Lu Grande Duch eese without experiencing a certain demoralize tion,as it is to abandon Shakespeare to study Tup per without being degraded Intellectually. We do not, of comet, believe that musical culture in this country has arrived at a final period. It must progress, and it certainly does progress. But this Sparta of madness serves to make its progress slower util more difficult. The current of the stream fin ,vs onward, though the oppos ir g tide seems to trace ehceked its course. - .

This man might give roles, as helms done, to barking dogs, and IntrediCe kissing choruses,' or-any absurd effect of which he is capable, and the greatest fault that, could, be found with him would be that he knew of no better MSC ter hieartthan to make it the vehicle. of fantastic trickery. But when he prostitutes it to giviiig a:glanionr to lechery,he deserves the severest censure that can be uttered against him.. It will not do to quote 'mythology in favor of bawdry, or to instance Shakespeare's freedom of speech as an excuse for it. Shakespeare lived in an age when, as we have said of the list century, language had greater license than it has now, raid his occasional offences are merely incidental. • There is not, as in Offenbach's operas, a 'deliberate selection of a plot, filthy in Its designs and In its execution. We can pardon the .looseness for the greatness. The moral grandeur and sub limity of the whole work atones for the episode' freedom of expression. Those who read Shakespeare need only survey the majestic com pleteness of the whole design, while they, revel in his Imagination. The disciple of Offenbach has a groundwork and a superstructure of in decency. The fables of mythology, leis% have none but pure suggestions to the Pure mind. We look behind the details, end., perceive the sublime allegories of a beautiful and poetic pa ganism. We can see in" the , actions of the heathen deities a figurative deseiription of the ope.ratlons of Nature, and we reverence: in the system the evidences' of the first groping of a pure 'art-nature toward religious culture and knowledge of immortality an d Omnipotence. The defenders of Offenbach can exieer al "pru rient prudery" to their heart's content, hut.. they cannot AGM' that he is the purveyor .4,f , h01d, bald indecency,which *needs no careful,scrutiny to discover it., There is finch a thing air decency, and there is an innate popular regard for it. We take our sta.ndbi favor of its adoption, , arid of rigid adherence to it on the stage and 'eliewhere. We cut objectkinable pattsagtiti from Shakespeare when we represent him. Why then atibula wc sub mit to the leChery of little li:Offeribtsch?' The stage has suffered incalculablelnjfirk - already from this very looseness of dramatic morals. We advocate purification. The champions of Barbe Bleue and La Belle MThsze are bringing It Into fresh disrepute and ensuring its farther degradation. The performance of these pieces—the sionghing off of a corrupt and debauched French taste, the operas of the concert saloon, and the dance garden—must lead to this re sult, and to popular demoralization. We cannot touch pitch without being defiled. The mind cannot become fardlier with profligacy acd indecency without contamination, Offenbach has some admirers who err through ignorance and want of comprehension of his ac tual immorality. The French language, in many cases, screens the vileness of his words. If an English company should use a literal translation of Barbs Bleue,no modest woman wonidgo to see it a second time. Neither the Ileum of the stage nor common poetic license excuses this. We have as good a right to publish the indecent text of these operas in this journal, as a company of men and women have to repeat it Upon the stage. Both give the matter to the public, and the performance does greater injury because it presents impersonations that make the offence more palpable and actual. Would the most en thusiastic of Offenbach's critical supporters dare to print his librettos?— and would not, all his ad mirers chndemn them if they did? Let us have a little common sense applied to this matter, and when Offenbach's day is over, and we tettan once more to legitlmateart, we shall see Whether our position bus not been upon the side of right, and whether we have not spoken truly in behalf of the divine art whose mission is to purify and elevate the soul, and which, of all its sisters, is predestined to immortality.

"This continued through the space of perhaps from three to five: minutes, , • and. did :not recur , in the harbor again during the entire seven' or , eight hours of its visible effect upon' its waters.. which were In'a state of ease agltititin • frota Jive P. M., until about midnight. •1, .• "About 6 P. M. a amble 'surge Of the sea ad. vaneed sluggishly, rising far above the wharves, inundating &considerable portion .of the lower part of the city, and receding again at the- same measured ,paca„without causing.xny damage. • • • • "This alternate action of the waters, advancing and receding at meararedperiods, confined that time till it ceased entirely, about t. leaving the tide at a very low, ebb „ where it, re mained, more or losts,'for forty-eight houreafter the drat effect was felt.. • • • • "The waters In the harbor were sO disturbed by eddies and currently ninning riot in every, diree tion, sweeping the ship like a top. around her anchor, that I. deemed it a wise precautioa to re move to a'place of greater'safety, at least where a more perfect control could be obtained over her movements in case of necessity. • "I, therefore, ordered her got under way as soon as steam could be raised, and put to sea, re maining out all night and returning the follow ing 'thonung at which time everythiog had sub aidui, and aings had assumed their usual and natural aspect. "This is briefly a narrative of what occurred hen., but at other points, the Chiocha Islands,for example, some fifteen miles from the coast, and more than a hundred from this point, reports re present a much more violent visitation, causing very serious disaster among the shipping there. "It is said also to have been very severest FOTO, destroying some important works there, which is upon the same , meridian with the Chinch& Islands, distant some fifteen miles. Weather Iteport.

Arequipa, the capital of a province of the same name, is situated fifty miles north of Aries,being elevated 7,775 feet above the sea. It is repre sented-as being a beautiful, healthy city, lying In the Valley of the guiles, about thirty-six, miles from the ocean. It was founded by Pizarro in 1536. Iriorder to avoid the .consequenees of the frequent earthquakel to which It is liable, the houses are low and strongly built. It was devas tated by violent earthquakes in - 1600 and 1725.
