THE DAILY EVENING rELEQKAPH PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 28, i860. rniLADPLriiiAisEis. From Our Own Carre itpondrnt. Pnn.ADm.Pin, Dec. S3, 169, Officii "Kvknino TKi,OBrH." f IH were asked to express, In as few word! m pos ible, my opinion of the City of Brotherly Love, morally and architecturally considered, I should say, "Philadelphia, you're a brick I" Human beings generally may be manufactured of common and unmanlpulated clay. With the Phlladelphlan the clay Is always burnt. He walks on bricks, he lives in bricks, he Raxes upon brloks he it a brick ! These thoughts were suRjfcsted to me on my first lew of Philadelphia after an absence of twenty years In the suburb of New York. I arrived here at B o'clock on a dismal Sunday morning, having been detained several hours on the road by an Interesting smash In the Trenton depot. The train whloh left New York at 9 o'clock on Saturday evening was fol lowed at full tut by the one which left at twenty minutes after . The first train arriving at Trenton, baited a while to "liquor up." Train number two ap parently disapproved of this proceeding, and came thundering In and Improvised a collision before half the aleepy passengers well knew what haa taken place. I roust do the engineers the justice to say that the thing was extremely woll done. There was no hlt-or-mlss about It. The tArmost car, as la the fashion with the Great Loco motive Contortion Act, escaped without much damage. It was the antepenultimate car that suf fered most. Half of It was knocked Into splinters, and the roof was Jammed forward over that of the car In advance. One old man had his eye cut; one mlld-looktng young man, with a broadbrim hat on, sustained a similar Injury in his hand ; one of the stokers had his ankle severely sprained. My own Inju ries are serious, and I Intend to sue the com pany for assault and battery with Intent to kill. My hat (one that I greatly prize from the fact of Its hav ing been In the family for several generations) sus tained a compound fracture of the skull; and my nmbrella (which I never trust out of my possession on accaunt of Its being a borrowed one) had severa I ribs I mean whalebones broken, and was severely Injured by the escape of water from the ice-cooler. Owing to there never having been any yater in th npout when I put it up there, it had not got quite used to the article. Passing over the bricks and in a pedestrian sense 1 have passed over many of them since I have been here I might remark that the first thing I noticed In this strange city was the impossibility of meeting Quaker. It may be unnecessary to Inform my readers that In New York Philadelphia is always spoken of (with profound respect) as the Quaker City, and that that nobriquet Is considered synony mous there with everything that is loud, fast, pro gressive, and enterprising. I expected to see all the houses painted grey, and all the drinking utensils with broad brims to them. I expected to oe every other woman with a coal-scuttle bonnet on ; but the nearest approach to this coal scuttle arrangement is the ash-barrels that adorn the side-walks, and which are a very touching and beautiful arrangement. At the theatre I was confi dent the principal danneune would twirl her thumbs Instead of her legs, and I have secretly maintained that the strongest invective to be heard from the mouth of any bootblack at the corner of Sixth and Chesnut streets was "Thee Little You, tbee !" in place of the visual maledictions which garnish the con versation of the .naming of Gotham. During the thirty hours in which I have remained In Philadelphia I have met one Friend, and he was bo extremely nn-friendly In appearance that had any one told me he was the Mayor's Pet, or a fugitive from Wall street, New York, I should equally have believed him. There are various points of contrast between Philadelphia and New York. One of them is that you have no Big Fence, and are not going to have any new Post Oillce. I hear nothing about a bridge to Camden, an Underground Railway, a Pneumatic Tunnel, and an Elevated Railroad. In Philadelphia I neither hear of nor see these things. In New York I hear of them all the time, but I don't see them. Neither does anybody else. Then again you hare no Sorosia which rhymes with No-Go-Sis the very thing it has proved to be. I think the Philadelphia Press Club a noble contrast to the Bohemian tag rag arrangement in New York ought to be counter balanced by a feminine fraternity, a sororal sodality Of that kind, to save it from literary lopBldedneBg. If there la one thing In Philadelphia I admire more than anything else (and Is It necessary for me to say this la the case with almost every object brought to my notice?) it is the mules on Market street. For the first time In my life, however, I felt the absence of a sympathy which I could not find, and I have already telegraphed to Mr. Bergh to come on here at once. On more than one occasion he has been een weeping on Broadway, and, whea questioned, all that could be got out of him was the solitary word, "Alexander!" As Mr. Bergh was well-gloved at the time, the suspicion that he might possibly be alluding to the kid flat-coverers known'as Alexan der's, at once fell to the ground. (N. B. A horse fell to the ground simultaneously.) Upon further Inves tigation it was found that he referred to the histo rical Alexander, who had handled the gloves so well that at an early age he wept for more worlds to con quer, and that he was likening himself to that lachrymose hero. I beg to inform Mr. Bergh that I have found another world for him. It exists on Market street, and Is populated by mules, who writhe under the batons of relentless Balaams. An Bab a. MUSICAL. AJfl DRAMATIC. The CltT Amuneinenta. The Italian Oi'Kba. The muslu-lovlng public of Philadelphia have certainly not had a surfeit of Ita lian opera for the past two or three seasons, and with the attractions that Mr. Maretzek offers, the Academy of Music ought to be crowded every night during the brief season of fourteen performances that is announced to commence on next Monday evening. The price for subscription tickets Is cer tainly remarkably low, and at but a little more than a dollar for reserved seats for each entertainment, there is no excuse for lovers of the opera not indulg ing their tastes. Mr. Maretzek will Introduce to our public a new tenor, Signor Lefranc, who, If report speaks truly, ia oue of the finest voices that has ever been heard here. Madame de Brlol, another new artiste, la said be a dramatic singer of unusual allbity, and with Miss Kellogg, Signor Ronconl, Signor Reyna, and others, there is every reason to expect that the performances will be up to a high mark of excellence. In addition to the artists already announced, Signor Lotti, the tenor, who has Just ar rived in New York from South America, has been engaged by Mr. Maretzek, for his season in this city. Among the attractions of the season will be the production of Rossini's great opera of William Tell, with handsome appointments, and With Signor Lefrano in the role of "Arnoldo." The new opera Pipele, by Ferrari, with Miss Kellogg as the heroine, will also be brought out. The sale or subscription tickets will continue to-day and to morrow at Trumpler's. At the Chesnut the dramatization from Dickens, nndcr the title of ChrUtma Ere; or, Tlie Miner 'e Dream, makes an effective holiday performance. It will be repeated this evening for the last time, with the fairy piece of Boautu and the Beaut. To-morrow a new play, written by Laura Keene and Matilda Heron, entitled Champagne; or, Step by Step will be Drought out. AtthiWai.nut Miss Bateman will appear this evening aa "Leah." On Monday next the grand military drama of Xot Guilty, by Watts Phillips, will be brought out. This niece had a trreat success in London when it was first performed last winter, and as the management of the Walnut are making unusual preparations to produce it in handsome style, It ought to prove equally attractive here. This scene is laid in Eng land and India, and the drama is said to be full of Incidents of the most exciting character. . At the Akch Mrs. Wallace's drama of Little Dorrit will be performed this evening. At Dufkez k Benedict's Opera House a variety Of couilo performances will be given this evening. At the Eleventh Ktrket Opera nouss the pantomime of The Old Human who Lived in the Shoe Will be repeated this evening. Pionor Blitz and his son will give a magical entertainment at the Assembly Building this eveuiug. A Uiuttiiee to-iuorrow. IS IRFI.4ND "IRISH. f' To Hit Editor of the Evening TeUyrapK "In the seventy years which have passed since the Tcllow Catechism wan written, Ireland has almost emptied h erne If of those who issued it They are Kenians In New York or Montreal, but not In Cork. Their place la filled, more than they are willing to acknowledge, by imported small farmers from Scot land and the lower Kngllsh shires." Evenino Telegraph, Oeo. 87, 1869. Paragraphs similar to the above are constantly going the rounds of onr newspapers. Editors are expected to know everything; but they do not, and It Is truly wonderful they know so much. Ireland is as much an enigma as a woman, and, of course, as difficult to comprehend. A few years ago the London Time, for some purpose or other, asserted that Ireland was being filled np with English and Scotch farmers. This statement was immediately accepted as fact by the press of this country. Was It true T A little research will tell. From the filing of the first petition nnder the En cumbered Estates Act, In October, 1849, to the month of August, 1R59 (It Is only nnder tho operation of this act that the land of Ireland In moderate farms changes hands), 85,190,839 worth of land was sold (over iss.00,000 In gold). The Irish bought 24,100,780. The English and Scotch, who were said to be buying op all the land In Ireland, bought 1,090,039. The proportions are stated In Appleton's Encyclopedia" as being 22,000, ooo and 3,ooo,ooo ; bnt the figures given here are care fully collected from "Thorn's Ofttclal Directory" for 1801. The reason of the mistake in the "Encyclo pedia" is apparent ; many of the English and Scotch purchasers failed to comply with the terms of sale, and the lands in such cases remained unsold, or were sold to Irish purchasers. It would thus appear that Ireland was likely to con tinue "Irish." Philadelphia, Dec. 83, 1309. CITY ITEMS. Yon Oak But BJilTBlt and Chrapfr Cloth ino ok Bennttt A CO., thaw Antwhrue Elsr.
