It is orowdeh with ** situations” and “ well imagined and harmoniously combined. The story is simple. The son "of 'a Frerioh Countess marries an actress, who' is•SMrnfully considered by his lady*mother. The chapter of aooidents, in the Reign of Terror, enables the actress to save her mother-in-law’s life, at the risk of her own.> At the crisis of her fate, her owp life,is saved, through a male cousin’s acquaintance with.TaUien, and, pride oonquered by gratitude, the proud Countess •reoeiveS 'her charming' 'daughter-in-law in her heart of heart. Mrs. Conway was Mathilde, the aotress, with Mr. Keaoh as Carl de Rudentz , her husband, and St; P/tar,'an old oomedian, ropre sentod very .efiectively by Mr. Conway* Mrs. Perry whs. The Countess , and Mies. A. Cruise played the part of Rose Michon extremely 'well!' ' Mr. Eberle made up, arid played, as''a capital gaoler. Mr. Perry, had he been measnrod and fitted to a part by the best dramatic- tSteAttitYfcr- in Chestnut street, or the parts adjacent,'could not. have been better suited than he was in the part j&Etqile de Rudentz, a 'marriage-cousin of the i&rabtyir-a sort of pococu• rante , good-natured, amiable fellow, >with some taste for. kissing, arid a groat aptitude for drinking something stronger than our accustomed lemonade. ‘ ‘ Mr. Perry performed this oharaoter with ease and art. ’Mr. Conway was most impres-, sive In*his ris/#—bat, irithe last eceriej rather for got-his; assumed age.- The weightof tho piece rested, .on-Mrs. Conway,who sustained it nobly. Her acting was powerful and eifootive. After some pleasing danoiog, by Miss Minnie Jaokson and the Misses Hannah and Adeona Hale, there'was performed a new piece de eirconstanee , called ‘‘Our Friend Peter,”. As this little play was successful, we Wyst&U that it was written bv Mr. Cowell', 1 dramatist to the Theatre. The dramatis persona are three in number. Mr. Pe ter Rlohiriga appears os “Our Friend Peter,” a Simple-minded, good-hearted, old bachelor who has brought up a young and pretty girl named j Catherine , almost oa a daughter, and haa exer cised a like friendly and almost paternal regard for a promising young artist. As a matter of course', (off the stage, as well as on it,) where two young people aro muoh together,without much to do, fall in love So do Katherine and Walter— very .naturally and- properly.

It appears that tbeiteam engine establishment that got, the oontraot for the machinery of the Lancaster last fall, through the exertions of these gentlemen, did .not succeed so well before the lato board. . In'con* sequence of this, shares took ft deolded fall, and a mooting of the managers and honorary members of the company was held in your oity to determine .on some immediate ooorso of aotlon. It was do olded that there was a,break In the cable at or near Washington, and the principal electricians, Meears. L. ‘and W M were immediately despatched here to remedy the dofeot. The batteries have been charged to-day with Jersey lightning, and it is thought that'by using gold instead of copper wire they may succeed. Mr. Touceyis not, I think, approachable by suoh means as these men oan bring to bear, and jasiioe will probably have itaoourso. By the way,.lhear strange reports in relation to a member cf the late engineer board; he is the inventor of a patent boiler, by wbioh he obtains about a thousand del* iMS on every : vessel using it, and benoe, in the board, opposed such plans as did not use bis boiler. His fees on naval vessels this year will be abont ten thousand dollars. In addition to this, he is agent for Parry’s patent thrust bearing, which, when applied to a naval steamer,/immediately pashes from one to t\ro thousand dollars into the owner’s pooket. I will advise you if they sqooeed in getting their signals through. The Postmaster General has purchased, so rans the story, the “ Bevy location,” opposite your office, in Ohestnut street, next door to the oustom house, John Rioe', agent, for the 1 post office. The price is. said to be 170,000. This is an excellent site, but a,very limited one. If a new site was de* sired, why not, buy the entire oorner from the oua house east? Whether it. is a “job ”. or not, the future will toll. It is a now dodge. Mr. Rice is a sharp one, and rarely goes into a speculation with out making a pile.

I think, however, It may be relied on. “ • •Florence and Phillips are telegraphing here all the time begging for help from the Administration.

Tho burning of the steamer Austria, and tho want of proper lifo-preservers on board of that 111-fated vessel, has called to.my mind a speoies of life-preservers, of German manufacture, which was sent as a sample to a mercantile bouse in this oity, for orders,‘and, whloh I have never yet seen on any of onr steamers. The simplicity and tho ease with whloh it is put on, appeared to me as far superior to any of the life-preservers' in use in this lt was simply a jaoket, reaching to tho hips, and with arm-holes instead of sleeves. It was made of strong muslio, double, and, stuffed with oork-outtings, about an inch and a half thiok. It bad stout Btraps by wbioh to tie it in front, when put on. It was muoh superior to air preservers, inasmuch os a slight fraotare would not injure it. It was always ready for use, as it oould be slipped on the body with great ease. It also served in some measure, by its’thlokncßS, to keep the body warm, and. to reslst the pressure of pleocs of wreok, do., wbioh might be floating. The cost of suoh life-preserver is comparatively nothing, as the oork-outtings are. I believe, bold of very little value by the oorbodtters.", Caro should be taken that there be a sufficiency of oork outtings to float the body. I .trust that some en terprising person will give his attention to this subjeot, and introduce to the public an article of the kind I mention. lYith a lifo-preserver of real value* thousands of lives would be saved at sea.

It is almost'astonishing to see the number of patriots who daily devpte-themaalves to the tualt of caving theoountry. In the neighborhood of Old Independence Hall, there daily, congregates a crowd of these patriotic politicians, whose'special employment seems tobe that of button holing each 'Other. and in dulging, in turn,some confidential communication, or ■whiS' ering something ofmjaterloua import.' Occasion ally an ontslder falls into treated, to the routine. ‘ The manner of pounc within their political atmosphere, reminds us of the palmy d*ys of Know Nothingiam, when the .initiatory rites were administered, oaths exacted, and its myste ries Impacted in garrefs, fence-ccrners, grog shops., and even cnurch vestibules. The stranger, passing along Ohestnnt street, would imagine that there was, at all times, a political convention in 6perat.cn, or that some thing of a peculiarly exciting and startling character was transpiring; and -when, to hia inquiry what is going on. he received the intelligence, that there was nothing but an every-day scene, he would very naturally come to the conclusion that our politicians were either peculiarly patriotic, or blessed with more than usual spare time. Even accustomed to it; as Reporters are, we are often induced to wind onr difficult and tortuous way through the assembled crowd, lured by the hope of catching au item for oar local column. - •The Platforh of the Widow’s Friend— At a Florence meeting held at Broad and South streets, on the 30th nit, the following resolution was adopted with gt e&t unanimity.

The bigh character of this long-estab lished honse is well known to many of our citisens, and we doubt if there is another similar manufactory In the -’country more favorably known throughout the Union as to the quality of its work. These gentlemen have long been known for employing the fiaest ’metals in their business, and we take pleasure in rooommendin? their ware to all who are desirous of obtaining a really siperior article In that olass of goods. We were yes terday shown there a full set of silver-ware, elegantly cased for shipments tixe t cqat of which was over seven hundred dollars, which, for taste in design and brillian cy or finish, wo hkTC-iftfefsften'surpassed. We no ticed, also, that in their\stcck arc found all the plainer styles, at correspondingly moderate rates. The recent Improvements made in their salesroom are in excellent faSte, and are well worthy the attention of the patron!- sing public. As an indication of the ability and expe rience of the operatives employed by this firm, we may State that their foreman was for several years connect ed with the refining department of the United States Mint. iL - Sanitary.— There are few things ip which peo ple in our climate can tolerate' ne'gleot with more detri ment to the health than in omitting to make the neces sary changes in clothing to counteract sudden changes in the weather. For that reason is .this the time for ail to provide themselves with necessary articles of under clothlug, Ac. To all in want of these articles we would tlaythat tho Gents’ Furnishing house of Meßsrs. -R; JL Walborn 4Co , (note) Nos 6.and 7 North Sixth street; is the place to obtain them, and everything else in their line in greatest variety. Fall.— This delightful season,',thp loveliest of all the four,' is upon us, with its frosty mornings:and mellow autumn d»js, its hazy sunlight; (when it don’t rain), its thanksgivings, and all the imaginable enjoy ments which this season.invariab'y. begets. Speaking of enjoyment, we know that -hundreds % of homes have been made inexpressibly happy by a' box of the luscious caudles made and sold byrMessrs/'E ’G*/Whitman & Co , Second:street below Chestnut. : You that have little folks at home should try this experiment.
