This handsome and very substantial edifice has been erected at a cost of about 51.30,000, which is ,O I 0 let. 4 unarm the estimates made by Addison litaton, the architect, when his plans were submitted to and accepted by the managers. The ,Ituilding Committee of the managers is composed of S. Morris 'Wale, Joshua B. Lippincott, Jos. Harristindr.,Alex. Biddle and Edward Shippen. / The Philadelphia Saving Fund Society is the oldest institution of the kind in America. In November, 1816, Mr. Contly Baguet, then a well-known citizen, upon reading some accounts of the establishment of saving-banks in England, conceived the idea of 'starting a similar institution here. On the way to iris place of, business he met Richard Peters and mentioned the 'matter;, to him, urging that a place to encourage workingp-eople to saver their, earnings 'would be very beneficial. The two gentlemen reached Third street and there' met Colonel Clement C. Biddle and Mr.. Thomas Bala A consultation ensued, and a meeting of about , a dozen citizens was called at the office of Colonel Biddle. The Society was organized, and twenty-five pee sons each deposited ten dollars to the credit of some poor person whom' they wished to help. An office was opened on Sixth street, opposite Minor, and the.. organizers acted a, tellers, clerks, &e.,' being lined when! them failedto attend during the usual .busines; hours." Deposits camein freelyandfor several years a prosperous business was• carried on under articles of association. The.., Society was incorporated February 2.5, 18.111. The only surviving corporator is Mr. Daniel B. Smith, of Germantown. The last survivor of the or ganizers was the late Chas, N. Baucker. The substantial character of the institution and the excellent mannerin which its affairs were managed gained it the confidence of the entire community, and the number of depositors and the amount of deposits went on steadily • in creasing. After changing about sev eral tunes,- each time securing larger quarters,theAtyles property ,on Walnut street, above Third t was , urchased for $35,000. This property p iacluded that now oceu pied by the Saving Fund Society and that now occupied by the American Fire Insurauce Company,: the latter coMpany having at'a subsequent thrie purchased that portion for $40,000; - 13uSineSs was commenced. in, the new location ',February 22,1840. At thattime there were v7,ooo.depositors. At - the present time . :there are„,„?..9,000, ..Bince.., the organization' of :the Society accounts have been opened. 'With •the enormous increase of-business the present place . , was found to be entirely too contracted to, ,accottunedate the large crowds of delimiters who, aily visited the institution, ilikView.ef the many suceessful oua eiliartsiipoWhatika and Saying lands, the , managers became impressed• with the duty of more secure place for the property oi :the poor and - hard-working Petaide'enniprising their depositors . ; and, this 4111ity'bhs' been fulfilled by the erection of the :'.,substantial,, fire ;and Inarglar-proof bedding described above.

DESTRUCTION OF Till; PENROSE Fmtul Pi:nu:E.—During the recent freshet in the SchuylkilLthe Penrose Ferry Bridge,with the cribs and stone piers, was entirely destroy ed. • and the ruins are now completely submerged at half tide. Much of the obstruction is in the channel, and the greatest care must be ta ken in navigating vessels in that part of the Schuylkill.. The business iu the shipment of petroleum alone amounts to Millions of -dol lars per annum, to say nothing of the local or coastwise transportation oflumber, iron:764, lime, and other articles of commerce passing to and fro eontinually iluring day and, night.. Last night vessels coming into the Schuylkill came very near being wrecked upon the ill , bris of the bridge. We accompanieil a. mtmber of merchants, shippers and other business menthis morning to the scene of the deva.station. There is plenty of occular demonstration its to the vast extent of the overflow of waters in this section. League Island was 'very nearly covered, 'but the dyke which surrounds it protected it in every respect. Corn-fiehis in the low lands Were overflowed; 'barns, .stables and fences were carried away, and cattle drowned. There should be something done at once by the city authorities to guard' the 'navigation of the Schuylkill until the. building of a new bridge which probably cannot be effected before next summer. If something be not done at once the city may be callediupon to pay' immense damages arising from 'collisions with the sub. merged ruins' of,, the bridge. Councils trill probably. take proMpt notion this afternoon.'. Fant.—At Concert Hall there is now in . progress a Fair for the benefit of the new Church of St, .

A man of blackstature and size, mounted. on a strong black horse, rode into the, group around the. King. He was dressed in a plain dark frock, with yellow facings'; wore the high boots and long straight sword of the Cuirassiers, and his dark 'passive face was covered with a huge helmet which appeared to have come out of some antiquary's col lection, its broad projecting peak casting the upper part of his face into sliadOw.. That helmet covered the brain which had set all the warlike-„machinery of the monarchy in motion on its path of con quest, for it was Count Bismarck 'who, i A his secondary character of a Prussian General, nor appeared among us. Close beside him sat Von Moltke, the strategist, whose fore Cast had given his aggressive policy such success ; hut Whereas the profound military thinker was thin, and bent, and worn, the statesman, bold and stern of aspect, was perhaps the largest titan on the field, and looked capable of up setting in combat a brace of cuirassiers. To the Englishmen whom he knew or who were presented to him ho was very cordial, address ing them In excellent English, He continued to form part of the King's suite throughout the operations."
