ANIIDSENI/ENIMI. COntedle Francais°. The principal piece last, evening was Les 'Fen mes Terribles, a three-act comedy by . Dumanoir, author of .Le Gentilhomme Pauvre and Jeatme 'qui Retire etleanne qui Rit. The title is, an imitation of that of the famous series; of prints, Les Enfans Terrible?, but the talking' female gossip is a species forgotten by Gavarni, while. it is one capable of the finest artistic effects. A change was made in the cast, owing • to the indisposition of M. Genet, for whom ad Apology was made by•• Melbourne. in the absence of his comrade, M. Juignet gave up . his part of the Spanish Count, and assumed that of `,‘ Pommerol," the gentleman devoted to a calin life; to the cultivation of his parterres and the tench in his basins; the man who; forswears numismatics lest he should get over-excited in the pursuit of a coin of Caracalla ; •• yet whose serenity is invaded, through a woman's headlong rage for gossip,' by the cruellest conjugal doubts. Juignet, suddenly as be took tip the ride, shone to great advantage in it, developing an entirely new set of powers, and playing with a mixture of comedy and tenderness that carried convic tion. Edgard, as the ceremonious gentleman, gave point to the simplest remarks, as when he remarked of the Theatre -des 'Wiens,- (where Italian opera is sung by "one French lady and two Americans" 1, that it was un theatre fres polyglotte, ea! The Moreaus, gen tletnan and lady, were excellent, as usual, and the comedy passed off well as a fair one of the second class. The introductory piece was a dis ,appointment. Genet, (who was to have taken the part of "Giraili cr." the secondary . beggar, in Moreau and Offenbach's little boupnerle of Les Deux Areugles,) being unable to appear, the autlie,nce were disappointed in their expecta tio» of comparing the French artists with their ' pleasant memory of Mr. Whiffin and Blanche Galion in the same music. The substitution was it vaudeville, repeated from the Saturday's bill, and an exatnple of a graceful French genre unknown to our theatre, where the drama breaks every minute into little versi eles, chanted to the lightest of light music, and resembling songs only as 'an arabesque resem bles a picture. Better examples of the species, however, could easily have been found, and the folic was decidedly one unworthy of rope tition. We cannot think it to M. Juignet's interest to introduce pieces whose essential situation •is of a nature to keep -modest ladies away from the theatre. , When the acting is so good, so natural, familiar and personal as it is in this company, the unpleasantness is only pointed. The French parlor drama of this present troupe, when confined to subjects capable of discussion in the fetidly, is one of our best schools of manners and of an attractive language. But .neither Madame D'Hervilly nor Mmes. Bonney and Dellaye will be likely to lead their ingenuous flocks to the fountains _truarded by such a alienherd__as_Cfreque_P_o_uie The-night, the whole evening will be taken up with Dallier, a pathetic drama in five acts and six parties by. Octave Feuillet, author of the Roman d'un „feline homme paurre. To-morrow evening the theatre will be closed, probably for the rehearsal of the four-act comedy by Labiche and Martin, Le I - oyage de M. Perrlehon, to be presented on Thursday. Parlor Concert. Miss Jackson's fifth concert, which will be given at Natatorium Hall next ' Saturday evening, promises to he oue of great interest, as, with the exception of ono work, the pro gramme is entirely new to a. Philadelphia audience. The string quartett, which at each successiVe concert shows steady and marked improvement, Will perform Schumann's great quartett in F major. The Sonata for piano and violincello; by Reinecke, one of Leipzig's favorite professors and composers, somewhat akin to Mendelssohn in style, is exceedingly beautiful in its varied etlects; and the concerto for piano, by Mozart, for which Mr. Boettger has, with marked successarranged au accom paniment for live string an live wind instru ments, from the original ore stral score, is One of this gieat master's most eautiful and iz li attractive concert works.

The Steamship .F.agle Ashore on Beds The New York herald says : The following despatch, received yesterday afternoon, conveys the intelligence that the .st eanuship Eagle, which left on Thursday last, hence to Havana, is ashore on Body Island, thirty-live miles north of Cape Hatteras : CHARLESTON, S. C., March 7, 1870.—The steamship Falcon has just arrived here from Baltimore. She reports having passed at mid day on Saturday the Steamship Eagle, from New York, for Havana, which was aground on Body Island. An attempt was made to communicate with her, but it was nusticcess ful owing to the heavy sea. The officers of the Falcon are of the opinion that the passen gors and crew of the Eagle were in no danger, but they fear the vessel will prove a total loss. Upon inviry at the office of the Atlantic Mail Steamship Company, No. a Bowling (keen, the owners of the unfortunate steamship, late last night,it was ascertained that they had not received any additional partieulars of the dis aster. The news was received by them at noon, and at once the wrecking steamer Re lief was chartered to proceed to Body Island and, render the Eagle all the assistance in her, power. Several gentlemen Iron the CoMpany's office,an I renresentatiVes from the Board of Underwriters, accompanied the Re lief, on the one hand to give the nece , sary directions regarding operations designed for her rescue, and on the other to protect her in terests, as it is understood that both vessel and cargo are heavily ifisured, The first despatch 11fr. S. G. Wheeler; PreSident of .the Com pany, received was from the officers of the steamer Saragossa, who.adY.lSed him that the Eagle went ashore Friday at Midnight,, and that the Falcon was alongside of her Saturday noon, but thatis evidently; a mistake, which will be apparent by the above telegram. The Eagle at. the time of her departure had on board fourteen cabin 'passengers, thirteen adults and one infant. These, together with a working crew and firemen of fifty-four persons, make the total of the steamship's company fifty-nine persons.. Captain Greene has long been .regarded as an experienced and able navigator, and, having. the assistance of well-tried officersand sailors, there is expressed at the office of the company much satisfaction, inasmuch as such .a fact tends greatly to allay any premature alarm that might naturally he excited regarding the . safety of passengers, crew and vessel. The cargo of the Eagle was quite large and. miscellaneous in character. It embraced 3,500' barrels of potatoes, with cheese, butter, sew ing machines, bacon, lard and furniture,while in the iron safes in her cabin were $179,000 in specie to be delivered in Havana.

Hotel registers are showing at this moment what they didn't shoW a year ago—the auto graphs of gentlemen from the distant South. Buyers frem these localities are to-day feeling the pulse of • the market. That they will be followed by many others there is every reason to expect. The mitt in which our Southern friends left us at the close bf the war was the miff of but a moment. That they sent after wards so many orders to us without coming in person was something prompted by past ex perience in the square-toed integrity of our merchants and manufacturers. In New York everything is efferveseent—done under the influence of excitement and " hurrah." In. New York things are done upon a different basis.

Sturges is not only one of the hardest-worked, but one of the poorest-paid 'officials in the entire municipality. His records of the operations of culvert-building are as suggestiVe as they are concise. We find from them an increase in the operations of culvert-building that,tells about as plainly of the growth .ot. the city as the figures connected directly with bricks and mor tar above the ground. During 1868, 32,664 lineal feet were excavated. This was about 6:l-16 miles. 1 n 1869 permits were issued for 47;598 feet. This is about 94-10 miles. The cost was $187,- COO. Besides this, in the opinion of Mr. Sturges, an equal amount of culverting was Indit of which no report of cost was ever made to the Department;—built by persons at their . own expense. Such culverts are private property. Before a connection can be made with it by any other person, that person must present to the Department a receipt froM its owner for his proportion of the cost of the work. Unless he does this he is only whistling . against the wind. The amount of figuring involved in this matter is largely crossed with red tape. n the first place, application is made to the Board of Survey through the Surveyor of the district. The blank forms are filled up, and the Board either grants or rejects the applica tion. At the same time the city requires a guaranty that the person benefited by the matter shall do the work at, his personal ex pense. The city builds culverts for surface and general house drainage. It works pro buno publico. Individuals sometimes succeed in surreptitiously grinding their little axes upon its stone but not frequently. The Sur veyor of the district then supervises the work, and sees it done according to the regulations of the Department. Some of these private sewers are expel:Wye items. The longest we know of is two squares in length. Just now the Department is liter ally beset with applications front private citizens in this direction. The gentlemen are followed up by jobbers of tall kinds. There is no romance in the business. Schumann Schtuaann 11 anything is more prosaic than the busi ness of building culverts, we don't know where to find it. No contracts were made either yesterday or to-day. ROBIiING FREIGHT CAILS ON THE READING RAILROAD.FOT some time past the freight cars on the Philadelphia and Reading ailroaAl have been broken into and robbed. Scarcely a train passed over the road without some depredation being com mitted on it. The matter was placed in charge of Robt. IL Gray, a special officer in the employ of the company. On Saturday last a man was run over Opposite Norristown, and was cut" in two. The body was handed over to the authorities of Montgomery county. In the pocket of the deceaSed was found a warrant issued by Alderman Kerr of this city. By this it was supposed that he was an officer from this city, and the Coroner telegraphed to -Chief Kelley, of the Detective force. He sent Officer Lukens to inquire' into the matter. Re looked at the body and recognized it as that of Robert Sharp, a notorious , char, actor, and formerly the proprietor of Buck Ball, a dance-house, No. Shippen street. Mr. Lukens left directions to arrest •any person who might claim the - body, and returned to the city. Messrs. Tryon and Levy were then detailed to assist Mr. Lukens iu Tri1E.:.17.4.1t4Y.V;V:611NG:.":10,r,Lt.-10:6tt,ti,!ii../...A:pg(41.).1i14,:1-#7,e.5:j:3.04.Y., . iiii.A.0,..4..1,1.00;;;',' CITY BULLETIN.

For the first time this winter our milkman; served us the lacteal from .a vehicle on run ners. The sleighing, where , not cut up by wheels, was all that the most enthusiastic trot ter could desire. As we write, the promen-, ades are not excelled in gorgeousness by the plumage of an oriole. - Sleighs are flitting pest our sanctum, and sash is running into the gutters. The overshoe dealers are as active as so ninny sparrows, while young America is gathering a harvest of dimes by the assiduities of its shovels. 'Every body looks cheerful. A fat lady who fell in front of the BULLETIN office em phatically declined our offer to restore her to the proper equilibrium upon her underpin ming. People in vehicles didn't hurl objurga- Um's at the boys in return for the snow-balls hurled at them. The doctors dashed by in' their pill wagons as if mutely grateful-for a temperature that comes to the relief of the house-bound invalid. Even the street dogs seemed to enjoy the novelty : • " They caught the drifted snow with wary teeth, Then shook their powdered coats and barked for joy." The street•sweeping machines do their work in a manner so oftective that the only wonder now is bow the city could so long have sub mitted to the nuistlbce of salt. The permanence of the present snow is of course problematical. With an air each night corresponding with that of the night before, the excitement may, last for days to come.

Some time ago prize tight was arranged tbr ...S5OO a side. ' e combatants were to be Billy McLean, callid N the Schuylkill Chicken. Cock, and Ive , Hadis, 0t k erwnse known as the English Jaybird. It was °reed that the tight' a should come off this morn r llat six o'clock, somewhere near the Log Ca t t.,,i, on the Wis-' sahickon. The McLean party 1 OXO to go up on the west side of the Sehnylkill;and the Eadis party on this side of the river. The matter was kept very quiet, but by s e. :rilik means came to the knowledge of Liens. Hiee , of theiTwelfthiDistrict Police,sometime during last night. Early this morning Sergeant Stout and a squad of men were vent out on a scouting - expedition. At Eighteenth and Ridge ayenue the police came up with and arrested Eadis, and also a man named Fred. Barnholt, who was with him. Barnholt had a big valise which contained live bottles of ; whisky, some towels, a lemon and a couple of sponges. The prisoners were taken before . Alderman Hood. Eadis was held in $3,000 bail, and Barnholt in $2,000 bail "for a further hear ing. This arrest, of course, prevented the in -1 tended " mill" from taking place. , .. . _ THE SlDEWAl.llB.—Pedestrianism was quite! a difficult task this morning. The sidewalks were in an exceedingly slippery condition, the result of the severe storm of yesterday. An ordinance of the city requires that snow shalll he removed from the pavements within six' hours after it ceases to fail. When the ice. adheres to the bricks and cannot. be removed,; ii would be well to scatter a little ashes or; sand. Such action - will 'save many falls and some broken limbs. DEATH FROM PC/180E01'E INHALATION.— Patrick Mellvain, residing on Cotton street,' Manarink, and employed at Powers 84 Weightman's Chemical 'Works, Falls of Schuylkill, bad occasion to enter the chamber used for the manufacture of sulphuric acid last week.

WIIOI.ESALE ROBBERV.—The tailor store of Mr. John M. Floyd, No. 32 North Eleventh street, was entered from the rear sometime during last night. The thieves made a clean sweep of all of the stock and material in the store. They also got some silverware from the upper part of the premises, which was oaf cupied by Mr. Floyd as a dwelling. The value Of the property stolen is about $l,OOO. The robbers are supposed to have used a wagon to carry away the plunder. A BOLD ROBBERY.-A colored lady, who had got very tired in consequence of a too free indulgence in Bedford street whisky, sat down on a collar dodr at Sixth and Lombard streets, last evening. She got into a doze. She had 'on a pair of new gaiters. Frank Hughes, a negro, came along. He took a fancy to the gaiters. Ile pulled them off and went on his way.

Tnn Protas . ore Counr Btrhirrnas:—This morning, in the Nisi Prins, after calling' tho list for the day, Justice Read said : I desire to make a suggestion to the members of the bar. We have twelve weeks of jury trials hero in the winter. We have 90 oases 'on each month's list. That,is :360. It cannot be ,ex pected that this Court can try that number of cases, or even give a very fair chance, when, there are causes brought hero that more pro perly belong to other courts. Ido not specify the particular cases, but the gentlemen of the ' bar understand it. There 'are cases broughthaving facts and very little law, that ought to be tried elsewhere. There aro two Courts appropriated to the city of Phila delphia proper; ono is the District Court and the other the CommorfPleas. The complaint as to one of these Courts is that there is not a sufficient force, and I understand there Is a proposition to add two judges to the District . Court. That is very proper, and it ought to be carried this winter, and thus relieve' the Nisi Prins. I also understand there is a proposi tion to add one or two judges to the Clommon Pleas: That is better than adding to the num ber of Courts.' Whatever the proposition is, it ought to be passed :this winter. I 'Speak of these Courts because if they had sufficient force this Court would be relieved of all ex cept the most important cases; which might then be - tried carefully and properly. Most of the cases on this list ought to be trtedin a local Court. I thought it my duty to'mention this while the bar is assembled here. We get one long case,, taking a week or a week ;mg' a half, and it cuts out all others, although it may or may not be impor tant. Then, in regard to the Supreme Court, I think there ought to be an addifionaljudge. It Nvould lessen our labOr, and enable us to give more satisfaction to the • State and city. -Any increase beyond that would be burdening the Court with an unnecessary Judge. An addi tional Judge for the Supreme Court would enable us to dispose of the Equity cases more rapidly and satisfactorily. Samuel C.Perkins—Your Honor will par don me a suggestion. The explanation for the large number of case' brought to this Court may be found in thellifference between the rules of this Court and the District Court. In this Court bail is required in $BOO and a spe cial allocatur, while in the District Court it is $.llOO. That may explain . why actions of slander and malicious prosecutions are brought here, as the defendants can be placed' under heavier bail. Justice Read—lf it was reduced to $lOO it would not relieve us. . • Mr. Perkins—if a special allocatur was required in each case it might dO. Justice Read—l will mention it to my brethren. David Paul Brown—lnstead of one aldi tional.Tifdaelo_the Supreme ConriAheremmht to be - two -- .Justice Read—We don't want them! That is my answer : and I can Only-suggest that the additionaljudgts will be of no advantage un less the judges appointed aro—l was going to say, competent persons. I don't refer to this Court ; but if you put two judges on the bench, and one is a good judge and the other a weak one, the effect would be to weaken the bench instead of strengthening it. Our business does not require more than one additional judge here. - The membees of the bar know What is necessary to be done at Harrisburg. - Mr. Brown—lf you had six judges, I would like to know how they are to decide eases. Justice. Read—l can permit no further con sersation. In justice to the bar I have made my suggestion. Mr. Brown—And I have male mine. This ended the discussion of the subject STREET CLEANINI; CoNTRAVTS.—The Board of Health held a stated meeting this afternoon, Dr. E. Ward, President, in the chair. Upon the recommendation of the Street (leaning Committee, the contracts for clean ing the streets in the Twentieth District (Rich mond and Frankford), and the Twenty-first District i M anayunk), were awarded as follows: Twentieth District—Thomas Coday, of Bridesburg, 4.2,800. Twenty-first District—James Clegg, of 31anayunk, $3,000. The contract is from March A, 1870, to De cember 31 , 1870.

A LIVELY ]'ARTY.-4 colored man and -wo man get quite lively, at Third and Union streets, last evening. They danced "Shoo fly," and became so noisy that the police in terfered. The man was arrested, and after he. reached the station-house a black-jack was found in his pocket. He gave his name as Israel Wallace. Alderman Carpenter sent him to prison. _ Asskuurtarn AN OLD WOMAN. George Thomas, a black man, was arrested at Setenth and Lombard streets last evening for assault ing an old woman about seventy years of age. it is alleged that he knocked down and badly abused the old *woman. Thomas bad a hear ing before Alderman Carpenter, and was placed under $l,OOO bail. Rt - N OvEn..—This afternoon, about one o'clock, Mrs. Dillon, aged 80 years, was run' over by a coal •• cart, at Third and Lombard streets, and was seriously hurt.

Over two and a bait millions of dollars have beets expended on the Road. Eighty-three miles aro 'sheet completed and equipped, and already show largo earn ings ; and the remainder of the line is rapidly progress lug toward completion. The State of lowa, through which this road runs, is one of the richest agricultural sections in America. Its large population, extending with surprising rapidity, and its immense yield of grain. pork, wool and other ag ricultural products, create a pressing demand for the construction of this road, which affords the beet possible guarantee for the bondholders, especially as the line runs through the wealthiest and most thickly populated section of the State. The road also runs through the , rich and growing State _ef Minnesota. Reference to the map - the - United States will show that it traverses the most, enterprising and growing portion of the Wept, and forms one of the great trunk line* in direct communication with New York; Chicago and Si. Louis, being to the latter city ninety miles nearer from Northern lowa and all , por tions of the State of Minnesota than by any other road now built or projected, and also the nearest route front Central and Southern lowa. The road is opened for local traffic as rapidly as con structed, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS ON ITS COMPLETED SECTIONS GREATLY IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT NEEDED TO PAY THE IN TEREST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE THE ROAD IS FINISHED. The buyer of these Bonds ea therefore guaranteed, by a great business already in exist ence on the route of the road, as well as by now currents earnings, and has not to risk any of the contingencies which always attend the opening of roads in a new and unsettled country.
