" OUR WIFE" AT BUTTONS TKEATER.

play with the above matrimonial cog
nomtn was acted on Friday evening for the first
time al Buttons Theater. The title naturally
suggests some kind OF reversed honnonism,
bus this horrible suspicion Is disspaied In proper tcns
and the partnership wife proves pattern Of morality
and virtue. II is not an Indigenous production but IL
tf foreign growth, and luckily one of the hardy kind,
which does not degenerate by ransplantaton. IL was
first played in London this Winter and was deseryedy
received last night with favor than any newly.
imported piece that has been played here this season.
The scene is laid in Amers, which 10 hemmed 10 by
host of besieging Spaniards. The plot ia good, and
runs somewhat follows: The Count dc Brissao
Fisher falls desperately in love With Roeioe Polly
MsrshaL), who is tas daughter Of mercer, and
therefore, below him In the social SCALE which &C.
count the marriage is forbidden by the father Of the
Count The friend Of the Count, the Marquis Dc Lig.

him his word of honor that ROsine shall ye. marry
him with the full consent Of his father, and
accordingly undertakes 10 bring this little matter
to happy termination. His mode of procedure 10
somewhat novel. 1t seems that for private duel, in
which he had killed officer he had been sentenced
10 die within three days. Previous 10 the oonsnmmsl
ion of that little affair, his kind intention was 10 marry
Rosine himself and then at the end of the tAree days
go to bis death with exemplary fortude and leave his
blushing bride blooming widow, for his friend, De
Brissac, to marry oH.hsnd; and, ss the lady would
have acquired, by her rst marriage, the title Of Mar.
cbiOness, the obdurate parent of the Count, her
prospective second husband, could, Of cous have no
further objection the Of rank. Accordingly he
sends De Brissac, who is not aware Of his friend,

lady obtains her fathers consent and her swn for she
does not seem to have had any decided preferences

whoever came along and the marriage is ccnsummated.
The thing ia explained TO DE Brssac, who,
while be gIieves that be must lose his friend IL over
joyed to think that he win gain his wife. The pro-
gramme OF deaths and marriages being thus
settled to the satisfaction Of everybody, all
seems going on smoothly, when suddenly
full pardon arrived for De Lgny, whose
decease is thus postponed sine die. However crafty.

GOVERNOR HA4LIN'S NE SSAGE.

Governor Hamln reverses the order commonly fol-
lowed in Governors messages, by putting first instead
Of Ast what he has to say the subject of national
affairs-s method natural perhaps in Governor who
had come from Washington TO his gubernat0r-
nj position.
In the result of the late Presidential election he finds
strong encouragement to adhere TO the stand taken
that occasion by Maine and ten other States. That
stand was opposition to the extension Of Savery-in
ether words, the maintenance of the principles upon
which the Union was founded; nor, if that great
question be kept steadily in view, does ultimate tri
smph seem to him to be doubtful
Having recapt alated the wrongs Of Kansas, he aug
ssss the expedency, especially the existing state Of
thngs to continue there Of liberal appropriation for
the relief food and clothing of those emgrants from
Maine who have been the victims of the late outrsgss
The failure, the part Of the General Government
m s duty Of protection gives TO these late citizens Of
Maine a strong claim the State from which they
went to establish homes and to extend liberty and
civilization in the Wet.
The receipts into the Treasury for the past year
s62 442 81 the disbursements $tS6765 10, leaving
balance of $l4S277 Al. The State debt is only
$685.
The Governor does not recommend any action on
the Temperance question at this session Such he
derstands to have been the implied if not the actual
pledge al the late election. IL rs deerable 10 remove
this question from the vortex of party and to place it
sn a foundation likely to be permanent and satisfsc-
tory for which purpose it is best to let angry feelings
ssbside.
The Subjects upon which he does recommend &C
on are, further legislation in relation to corporations,
TN which large amounts Of property invested, with
view to tae more accurate determination of their rel
ative rights and duties; the carrying the views
which have led to the establishment OF State Board
Of Agriculture BY provision for instruction In agricul
tural chemistry. and reorganization of the militia,
which the Governor ntimates falling into neglect and
decay.
The preset systeE1 Of managing the public lands of
che Stateths object being not to put the timber lands
the market except the timber IS wanted for con-
sump,ioo--meets the Governors approval; stll If
could be devised 20 promote the settlement
Of the agricultural lands it wGuld be greatly for the
vantage Of the State.
Two important subjects 10 come before the Leg
islnnre-oue revised code the other the question Of
re-chsrerGg the banks whose present charters all
pire on the LIST of October 1857. The eSnking sys-
TEN Of Maine has proved safe and successful and the
