. A large audlt-tieo was attracted to lUo Walnut
on Saturday evening to wlinocn the first per
formance of llic new play of London; or, The
'Light and fthndntm of thct Great City. Thin
titio held out nonio expectations that worn not
-realized by the piece itself, which inljrht ho
located anywhere cl.e ns well as In London, and
thtro In nutbliiff w hatever in Us plot, character,
or incidents to connect it w ilh the HillisUine
itropoll. The eccnery for the most part con
alat of view in and about London which have
the appearance of being accurate, nl though sotne
of them are exceedingly indifferent as works of
art, but their Adaptation to the drama is very
much forced and oometlraeH decidedly Inappro
priate. The tillo and the scenery ocm
to be alter thought, for which, it
may be, we are indebted to the genius
of Mr. .John S. Clarke, who appears
on the bill" n 'iie of the author of tho drama.
Mr. Clarke we know very well to be an excellent
actor, unpurposed, Indeod, In ills particular
line, wboce success In London lias Ween tho
cause of much congratulation with ills admirers
here: but up to tho present time he has not
figured as a play-writer, and we shrewdly bub-
pect that, an his name only appears as part au
thorofthe drama under consideration, for the
pnrpone of obtaining an American copyright,
he has contented himself with giving it a title.
The want of connection bctweeu the title and
the play, to a matter of comparatively, small
'niportanee, however, If the pieeo itself has
merit. We regret, however, that we cannot
speak of it in terms of absolute enthusiasm, n
it is a not very Ingenious reliasU of pretty old
material, that has done good duty on the boards
'In dorens of Manias before to-day. Mr. Henry
Leslie is well known as tho writer c several
.popular plays, and ho has done vastly better
.work than this, which is not up to the low
standard of excelleueo by which works of its
class arc judged.
The incidents turn upon the adventures or a
girl, "Alice," who, being abandoned in her In
fancy by her parents, is brought up by a thief
and footpad named "lUlph Heron" as his own
daughter. Grown to be a woman, she is noticed
by a young lawyer named "Harold Forrester,"
who falls in love with her and who induces his
father to employ her as a housekeeper. Here
'she is discovered by '-Ralph Heron," who en
deavors to make her furnish him with money,
and who on her refusing contrives that she shall
be accused of a robbery of his o-n coin mi t ting.
For this crime she is tried at the Old Bailey, and
is acquitted through tho efforts of "Toby
'Mapletoft," a pill vender to whom "Har
old" has dono a kludncss, which ho eu
Jdeavors to repay by getting on the jury, with a
determination to stand out against tho other
eleven, if it should be necessary to save "Alice."
After tho acquittal of "Alice," it is discovered that
her parent- have endeavored to repay her for
their abandondent by dylug and leaving her a
large fortune, which In case she cannot be
found is to iro to the person who has taken care
of her. "Ralph Heron" attempts to get pos
session of this money by secreting himself on
board of a steamer on which she embarks for
Australia, and throwing her overboard when he
has an opportunity to do so unobserved. He
then puts in a claim for tho fortune, and pro
duces the proofs of his having cared for the
girl in her infancy, and is apparently ou tho
point of gaining his object, w hen "Alice," who
has been rescued, steps in to accuse him of at
tempting to murder her, and to sink into the
'arms of Uit lover as tho curtalu noes down.
There Is a Jttlc matter of n forgery committed
by "Job Forrester,' tho father of "Harold," and
ome comic loudness thrown in to give the piece
a. flavor; but for all that London; or, The Lights
and Shadows of the Great Ciiy, cannot be pro
flounced a very exhilarating piece.
. The performance on Saturday evening was
reasonably good lor a first night, tho leading
parts being creditably represented by Mr. Walcot
as "Harold Forrester," Mr. Morrison as "Ralph
Heron," Mr. Fawcett as "Bob Austin," Mr. Brad
ehaw as "Toby Mapletoft," Miss Graham as
"Alice Heron," Miss Rose Wood as "Letty,"
and Mrs. Chapman as "Lady Euphemla." Mr.
Morrison had the best opportunities, and he gave
an excellent melodramatic representation of
"Ralpk Heron." Mr. Fawcett also had a charac
ter suited to him in the lawyer's office fag,
."Bob Austin," but more real humor was shown
Joy Mr. Bradshaw In his personation of the irre
concilable juryman, "Toby Mapletoft." It
would be amiss not to mention also that Miss
lary Barr, who has made a favorablo Impres
sion during the past season or two in subordi
nate parts, sang tho ballad "Somebody's Wait
ing for Mo" very nicely indeed, and obtained a
.deserved encore.
The best scenery is that representing London
'Bridge in the prologue, Charing Cross Hotel and
Railway Depot, and tho London Docks, with the
departure of the steamer Melbourne in the se
cond act. Tho views of Temple Bar and St.
Paul's Church are tolorable, and that of Green
wich Park abominable. Any of our Philadelphia
scene painters, however, could have dono much
better than the best of these performances of the
London artist, which will scarcely be considered
Jbytfhe; majority of tho spectators to be "nearly
as good as a trip to London," as is suggested by
the play bills.
On Saturday night mucn amusement was
caused by the appearance in one of the boxes of
.tin elddrly' gentleman in a oorduroy coat and an
antiquarian white hat of portentous height, whom
w e Imagined to bo the original "Solon Shingle."
Th (boys-tin. tbo gallery, however, discovered a
resemblance to Horace ureeiey, ana caiioa lor a
spoecn.' 11 The Individual in question, however.
was not of an oratorical turn of mind, but he
graciously bowed in recognition of the applause
bestowed upon the piece. Could he have been

Your many readers should have their atten
tion called to a bill introduced in tln.i IIjih at
Harilnburc by one of our city members, which
is now pending, and mny pass unless sumo effort
is inn dp to defeat it. I have not seen It, conse
quently cannot give the exact wording. III,
however, to tho effect that It shall he uulawfnl
for road jurors to assess any pnrt of tho (I i:iiu,rc
occasioned by the opening of nnw streets on
owners of property. Ibis in itself would be
outrageously unjiMt to the city, for which the
member cannot give any excuse satisfactory to
bin Immediate constituent or the people of our
city at large. It is n well-known fact that pro
perty Is often largely increased in
valuo in consequence of tho opening of
streets. There has been a number opened in our
city entirely at the cost of pcrxoim owning pro
perty that would lo benefited by it, and that at
their own request. Ht reels are now usually
opened or extended by parlies Interested peti
tioning the city authorities. When the locality
is visited by the proper committee, it It is
thought advisable, they so report. When a nul
jury is asked for, wbo'assess the damages which
must be put on, the city or property owners
benefited, or both, generally have a full share to
pay, and property owners" seldom If ever any
thing like tho amount of the lcnelit accruing to
them. Tho bill further provides that all awards
of road juries now pending, where any part of
the damages lias been put on property owners
that ore not yet confirmed by the court, shall be
declared null and void, thus asking tho legisla
tor to pass u)K)U a measure that he cannot know
anything about. T.'ie following question by
some member of tho House might probably give
some Information.
Tho questions are, Will the mover of this
men mi re inform the House whether he knows
anything about the opening of Antoinette street?
Whether he was assessed, on the ground of being
benefited, for any part of tho damages accruing
from the opening of said street? And whether
the passage of this act would relieve him from
the payment of tho assessment If affirmative
answers are made? It would bo legislation to
meet privato interests. It is hardly possible
that the Legislature would pass a bill so entirely
unjust. The tituo allowed to all parties between
the road jurors' award and tho Court's confirma
tion of the same is ample to give all parties Inte
rested time to make their grievances known to
the Court. If just the jurors' award is set
aside. J. I).

El Djevai, an Arab paper published at Con
Msnlinoplc, has just been suspended tor two
months on account of a recent artielo in which
it stated that if a war had broken out between
Turkey and Egypt, tho Arab subjects of the
Forte would have risen in insurrection.
The Russian papers nnnouuco nn important
discovery by Cartson, a teamed Norwegian,
which wilt give a great Impetus to Siberian
trade. Ho had cruised for scientific purposes in
an expedition undertaken last summer to the
Kariun Sea, which washes the southern part of
l ho Isle of Nova Zembla and the Government of
Tobolsk, and is covered with eternal ice. In
this ice a passage wns discovered which, for
evoral months in the year, odors a convenient
path for tralllo between Siberia uud tho Norwe
gian harbor of Iromsoe. Tills discovery was
made at the same time by the Englishman
I'ullber.
The Bombay Gazette, speaking of the pre
sent working of tho lndo-Kuropcan Telegraph,
complains that, whereas in other countries tele
grams come in anticipation of tho mails, iu
India tho mail anticipates the telegrams. On
the same day that English extracts were pub
lished In that paper to tho RUh of November,
they received telegrams from London of tho 8lh
and lUh of the same month (received when tho
contents of the papers of later date were fami
liar to them). On tho diiy following they re
ceived a telegram of the 10th of November; and
lurilier old telegrams since, which tney have
piillished. not as news, but as curiosities of
telegraphy, it tins state ot tilings is to con
tinue, the Gazette says it would bo far better to
have n j telegraph at ull. Would it not be possible
to keep bi.ek tho news by the mulls until all tho
missing telegrams drop iu ? The intercs. and
excitement would be just tho sumo in tho long
run. It is a most uncomfortable Idea that of
mails anticipating telegrams. For aught we
know, some ouo telegram may take years to
come from the other cud of the world if it has
become eutanglcd at the bottom of tho sea, aud
ur great graudchildren may bo knocked tip in
the middle of tho night by the arrival of the
news of their grandfather's birth long after his
decease. Submarine telegraphic communica
tion is marvel of science, and very conveuleut
if it Is properly worked, but we expect It to
convey news rather than history, and tho wires
will be of very little use if, Instead of Hashing
their intelligence with a regularity we can de
pend on, they take to playiug these electrical
tricks.
