Royal Personages in Philadelphia. Philadelphia has been at times the abiding place of various personages of royal or im perial blood. Old citizens can remember the young and dashing Prince Jerome when he V 1,15 in Philadelphia, sixty or seventy years ago, shining with lustre reflected from the brilliant career of his illustrious brother. The Prince married Miss Patter son, :of Baltimore, returned home, broke with his wife at the dictation of his imperial brother, became King of Westphalia and finally shared in the general scattering of the . Bonaparte§ after the battle of Waterloo. While in Philadelphia, the. future King of Westphalia , Made his home at the old Indian Qiieen Hotel, in Fourth street, above Chestnut. When the catastrophe to which we have referred, . took place, the Count, de Survil hers,' better known as Joseph Bonaparte, left his Spanish throne and crown, and sought. an asylum in this city. He after wards fixed his permanent residence at Bordenton. Prince Murat,. his nephew, and the son of the ill-fated King of Naples, was also an inmate of the Bordenton mansioirand a frequent sojourner in Phila delphitl.,;,The present Prince Napoleon was a visit& tc3lthe city when the Bonaparte star was aga_inuin the ascendant, and many of our citiifiris-'Were afforded an opportunity of gazini x ibp.Sti•lhe representative and almost exact ttiterpart, in personal appearance, of the gY4Siitest captain that had existed sin certhe-time - _of Caesar .

When more prosperous days came around, the Prime de Joinville, a son of Louis Phillipe, visited the city and at tracted no little notice, We have some par ticulars - concerning the sojourn here of the embryo-9 Citizen King" that are not without interest, In October, 1796,. the Duke of Orleans, who had found means to escape from France, arrived'from Hamburg, in the slap Ame rica, Captain Ewing. He had remained on board incognito, until the ship was ap proaching the Delaware, when -he made himself 'known to the captain. The vessel belonged_ to, 3455113.

PERSONATING A GENERAL.—An in dividual was arraigned before Alderman, Beitler last evening upon the charge of swindling. In appearance he bears a close resemblance to General E. It McCook, and, it is alleged that he has been traveling about the country personating that distin guished officer, borrowing money , running up hotel bills and decamping without settling them, cir.c. General McCook has been greatly annoyed by the receipt of a large number of letters asking for the return of small amounts loaned-at different times. The prisoner was in this city some time ago and stopped at the Continental, where he registered his name as General McCook. He sported around considerably, hiring carriages, ordering wine, &c., and finally left without paying the bill. He was then arrested and taken to Camp Cad walader, but a Market street merchant heard of the affair, and paid the amount due, upon the promise of the pretender general that he would forward the money upon reaching his home in Ohio. The ac cused will have another hearing this after noon. "CONTRABANDS" SENT TO PRISON.—The officers of regiments discharged at Camp Cadwalader, have generally brought with them from the South, young colored men who acted in the capacity of servants. Most of the officers upon being mustered out of. service left for their homes without making any provision for the "contra bands." The latter have been hanging idly about the camp,and yesterdaythe officers in charge complained to the police. Eighteen of the blacks were taken into custody. Their ages range from 14 , to 27 years. Alderman Fitch sent the party to Moya mensing Prison as vagrants. A YOUTHFUL ScAnr.—A youth named Wm. R. Anderson, aged 16 years, who hails from Georgia, was arrested last evening at the Reading Railroad depqt upon the charge of the larceny of S3S. A resident of Mont gomery county met the boy on the street in the city some days ago, and offered him a place to work upon a farm. The offer was accepted, and the lad remained in the place until yesterday, when he decamped after 'having robbed his benefactor. He handed the stolen money to the policeman after ;being arrested. The juvenile was sent to Norristown for trial. A. CHARMING PICTURE. -- There is at Earlee' a charming cabinet painting by Mr. George C. Lambdin, entitled, "In the Ear," ' extremely simple in. design and subdued in color,but most expressive in sentiment. There are only two figures—a very pretty country lass, who coquettes with .an ear of Indian corn, in her hand, while her thoughts are evidently bent upon a rustic.: wooer, on the other side of the fence, who. would seem not to have yet told his love which is mainred, while her's is at yet" "in the eat." FATAL IiESULT.-I)avid Donaldson, who was terribly injured on the Baltimore Rail road, 'near 'Chester, on the 15th inst., died yesterday at the hospital. He was a brake's man upon, the road. An inquest held by Coroner Taylor yesterday showed that a coupling snapped, throwing him from the car on which ho rode, and that the occurrence was entirely accidental. The deceased re sided in Chester, and:was about 23 years of age. SOLDIERS?

PASSING COUNTERFEIT NOTES.—The cases of Brown and Heckel, two men who were arrested, several weeks ago, on the charge of having been engaged in the business of passing counterfeit notes, have been before the Court for a couple of days past. At the time they were taken into custody there were several counterfeit notes found upon their persons, and in close proximity to the place where the arrest took place, a bundle of the same notes, containing several hun dred dollars was also found. These notes were taken in charge by the officers, and on the trial were produced. Mr. Jenkins, prosecutor for the State, produced strong facts and arguments bearing on the case, and against the defendants, while the op posing counsel, with equal zeal examined everything that wrs in favor of their client. After the evidence and arguments had closed, the judge charged thejury in an able and forcible manner, when they retired, but up to the present writing they have not reported. This is a case of considerable importance and magni tude. For a long time past Camden and adjacent villages have been completely flooded with spurious bills of various de nominations, together with well executed specimens of fractional United States cur rency, and it has been almost impossible to detect and bring to deservedpunishment the men engaged in this unlawful business. The - officers have been diligent in their efforts to ferret out the offenders, and thus relieve the public of a nuisance, but until they laid hands upon the above individuals they have not been very successful. It is believed that there is a large number en gaged in the distribution of these notes still at large, for almost every day they are Offered in the stores in Camden in change . for some trifling article purchased.

John Drew repeated the performance of •Tortunio" at the Arch last 'evening, and a large audience gave full evidence of their appreciation of its success by constant applause.' Mrs. Drew dressed as usual, charmingly; and her reading of the rythm was excellent. ' In this' respect she appreciated the points herself,and made no attempt to instruct the audience as to where they came in. Mr. Robson would do well to imitate her in this respect, and so capital an actor as he need only give the matter' due. consideration. Mrs. Thayer, Mrs. Creese, Miss Reed and all the ladies,as well as the gentlemen of the company,acted well. Miss .Wood's dancing Was extremely graceful. In short, the extravaganza firas entirely satisfactory, and contained none of the abominable double entendre which writers of burlesques seem to think them selves privilsged to use regardless of de cency. The farces, "Cool as a Cucumber" and "Good For Nothing," were superbly given, Mr. Marlowe, Mrs. Henri and Mr. Wallis acting! with especial spirit. This evening "Fortnnio" will be repeated, with other attractions, and to-morrow evening Mrs. Drew makes her last appearance. On Monday Miss Homer appears. FAREWELL BENEFIT OF MRS.

To-night she appears in ".An Actress By Daylight" and in the burlesque of "Mazeppa, ' the most delight fully absurd play of this character we ever laughed at. Mr. Griffith will also appear in "Uncle Foozle" this evening. Next week Mr. J. S.

Alter Clarke we are promised the Keens, Edwin Booth and other "stars," so that there is no danger of the Walnut lagging behind in the race for popular favor. THE CHESTNUT.—The gallery will miss the "Red Rover" after to-morrow night, as it is to be withdrawn to give' place to "ArratisNa-Pogue." There are some vil lainous and some very good things in this concoction from Cooper's novel. The ab surdity of the plot is almost sublime, but the scenery, the ship and the final scene make amends. The way in which the closing fight, red tire, are received by the "gods" shows that we ainnot expect a millennial era of hatred of war so soon after the close of the great rebellion, bu t that the taste for the combative is still a promi nent American characteristic.

Desperate Leap from a Railroad Train. A convict named James Lee leaped from railroad train on the lilth inst., while on his way to State Prison from Cleveland, in 1. arge of the Sheriff. Lee was heavily runed, and the train was going at great peed; but he leaped, striking on his head, aflicting a dreadful wound on his forehead. Ilis clothes were nearly torn off, and he lay Senseless for a quarter of an hour, but then ot up and staggered against ie fence. teaching a pool of :water. he washed and vas refreshed. He soon recovered strength reid ran for the woods. After a long chase was finally met by a man living in the leighborhood. Lee had drawn his knife and aeld the man at bay till one of the guard - Arrived, when, presenting a revolverat Lee's .lead, he said, " I surrender to you, but not to this Hoosier." He was put on board a freight train, and reached the State Prison IFriday night. He tried several times to ( throw himself out of the car on the way down, saying that he wanted to kill him self. He had been in the Penitentiary be fore, and preferred death to a return. His guard was importuned, as also the Sheriff afterwards, to - kill him. He was completely crushed, and in the deepest despondency and misery. When brought in to the Penitentiary the warden asked the name of the desperate man. "James Lee," was the answer. That officer said, "No, his name is Somers. He has been here before." Lee then gave the Sheriff a sketch of himself and his career. When a mere boy he stole seven hundred dollars, and was sent to the Penitentiary at Akron, where he belonged. His father, he said, was a brutal Irishman and abused his mother. He inherited his father's disposi tion to crime, and although he had made many attempts to reform, he could not re sist the temptation to do evil. Conviction of the Murderer of Otero. [From the N. T. Herald, to-day.] The Trial of Jose Gonzales y Fernandez, for the murder of Jose Garcia Otero, the 22d of November last, in the City Park, Brooklyn, was concluded yesterday in the Kings county Court of Oyer and Terminer. The Court opened at 10 o'clock A. M., when the defence put in their testimony; but there seemed to be nothing tangible in it, as the counsel did not prove anything contradicting the main evidence for the prosecution. The closing address of the District Attorney occupied two hours and a half in its deli very. Judge Gilbert made a brief charge to the jury, when, at a quarter past three o'clock P. M. they retired to deliberate on their verdict. They were out two hours, and on returning to 'the court-room ren dered a verdict of gUilty against the pri soner, who received it unmoved, and was remanded for sentence‘ The trial of Pellicier, the alleged accomplice of Gonzales, will commence to-day.
