cold to produce shvering sensation, and TO place
mufis, boas, cloaks, and overcoats in requiston.
The ladies' are out in considerable numbers the
fashionable promenade, the GOODNESS OF the day
giving them freshness of appearance aud beauty
of tint, of the most attractive character.
There is some commotlon ia town toduy, grow.
ing out OF the arrival OF Marshal Bertrand, OF
France. He was escorted to the city last evening
by committee of French residents, appointed at

Macready played Othele at the Chestnut Street
Theatre last evening 10 a full house. The business
of the stage was most admirably executed, differ
ing in material points from that we have been ac-
custoned TO see. repetition OF the performance
will be required, and will draw an immense house.
Miss Charlotte Cushman enacted lii most beaut-
full coTrec,, and dlgned manner the part OF Emilia,
and the deliuea,ion of the character OF Desdemona,
by Miss Alexna Fisher, was excellent and deserv-
ing of great praise Macready will play Virsinius
Tomorrow evening, and as suggested, ne VIII ON
Saturday evening repeat the character OF Werner,
which on its first representation elected unbounded
admiration.
Tonight we have at the National, Richelieu, by
our talented ownsman and exec llent actor, Conner;
and at the Chestnut, Macready in the same charac-
ter we anticipate full houses at boih, and venture
opinion that the PRESERVATION OF the crafty Cardl'
mi by Mr.. Conner, will be credltabe IN the ex'
IRENE, The popularity of Mr.. Conner in this cha
racter in The South and West, has gwen him The
title of f" Richeheu Conner" The celebrated au-
thor of Clinton Bradshaw prOnounces him unequal
led in the part. John Seiton's benefit is fixed orto
morrow night, when he produces a new piece,
called Robert Bruce; II Is spoken OF very highly
Conner and Seton will act in prominent charac-
ters
Charge des Afiaires to Constantlnople expected
to arrive here in the course OF week or two in the
u. s. brig Truxton. The military are already max
ing preparations to turn out In great numbers, TO
der The volunteer division will be ordered out by
General Patterson, and will, make no doubt, give
character and soemnity TO the mournful occasion.
The Hon. James Buchanan Will leave the city
tomorrow for his residence IN Lancaster, prepara-
tory to entering upon his sena oral duties at the
seat of the general government Mr.: b, during his
stay, has been waited upon by our citizens IN con,
siderable numbers, besides being fsted and toasted
at the residences of several prominent members OF
the democratic party. The impression he has made
in this county favorable for his pretenslons TO the
high office Of President of the United States: Last
evening he was entertained at the princcly resi-
dence OF Hon. Charles Brown, ex-member OF Con-
gress from the first district. Although Mr. Brown
is decidedly Van Buren, man, real Klnderhooker
out and out, he appreciates the exalted worth OF
Mr. Buchanan and testified his social estimation at
least of the man, by preparing in his honor splen-
did banquet.
Business is better this week than for some weeks
previous presumed to be in preparation for the hoi-
| day season, now fast approaching
Yours, &c.
