AN AMERICAN CoMEDY.-An American Comedy
"a real, undoubted, genuine American comedy,
has just been finished by Mrs Anne Cora Maria
Mowatt-we hope we have got the fair lady's
name correctly-and is to be produced at the
Park, soon after General Welch's magnificent
troupe of classic performers have vacated the stage
of" old Drury." Mrs. Mowatt is very young, ane
very pretty. She has written some of the sweetest
pieces Of poetry in the magazines, and is shrewdly
suspected, in some quarters. of being the authoress
of Helen Berkeley, or the Fortune Hunters
novel actually attributed by many to the pen of Mr.
Epes Sergeant, and which has, of course, circu-
lated extensively throughout the United States,
Great Britain, and Nova Scotia. Mrs. Mowatt's
comedy is entitled Fashion," and is designed to
show off the morals and manners OF the
Goldfish aristocracy, or upper crust forma-
| ton Of New York fashionable society. A
French Count figures conspicuously, and al
| most all Of the characters will be recognised
as faithful portraitures of leaders Of fashion"
we'll known in Broadway and the brilliant reunions
uptown. In day or two we will be able to speak
more in detail Of this comedy, and of the success
with which it is likely to meet

by the sentence of Captain Newton, Mr.. Tyler

The INDUSTRIAL. FEMALE CLAssEs.-We recon-
mend to the attention of our readers-the female
portion particularly-the report of meeting Of this
body, which was held yesterday in the City Hall
| It will be found well worthy OF their perusal and
consideration. At some future time we may go
into the subject more at length; but at the present
we can only recommend those more Immediately
interested to act on the advice of some of their
able speakers, and beware Of !" foreign influence .
Let them manage their own affairs as they have
begun, and their chance Of success will be much
greater than by allowing the male sex to use up
| their Offices for them.
The GERMAN CHARITABLE SOCIETY," of this city
will give tomorrow their first annual concert in
aid Of the funds of this highly meritorious body.
We do not entertain the least doubt that the Ia
bernace will be filled to OVERLOOKING, not alone for
charitys sake, but likewise to hear the concord
of swee. sounds" and we boldly assert that
there never has been given concert in New York,
whose programme could stand comparison with
that offered on this occasion. II is universally ad-
mtted, that the Germans are not alone the best
composers, but likewise the best performers Of in.
strumental music, and IN the symphony in minor
by Beethoven, the overures to Weber's Freyschutz
| and Mendelssohn's Fingashoche, confided as they
are to the orchestra OF the Philharmonic Society,
they will undoubtedly prove it. Signora Fico,
Messrs. Scharfenberg, and Gronevelt, contribute
the aid of their superior ents; but the most inter-
esting feature will be the first and only appearance
OF the German Song Union or Liederkrang (wreath
| of song) who have most generously volunteered
their services. Every city in Germany possesses a
similar society, and here in New York, with pc.
puIation of nearly thirty thousand Germans, the
l want of such an institution has been very much
