The DAyENPoRTs.-At the Masonic Temple,
last evening, a large audience assembled to wei.
come the Davenports and the Chestnut Street
Theatre Company. The play was "The Iron
Chest" in which Mr.. Z. L. Davenport as Sir Ed
ward Mortimer, has achieved most brilliant rep
u,ation, which was fully sustained by his admira-
BILE rendition of the character last evening. he
was ably supported in manner that not only en-
hanced the effect Of the leading character but in
fused the whole performance with interest. Th.
after piece, the amusing comedy of "Wild Oats,
was received with great laughter and applause
throughout. By the way, the edition Of The Pro.
gramne, last evening, was not large enough &c
supply the audience, and many we're compelled te
do without. This should not be, as it detracts
considerably from the enjoyment of perform
ance, not to be possessed OF programme, with
the cast OF character. particularly such neat anc
handsome one as Is issued by our neighbor across
the way. "a word to the wise is sufficient"

| fendant in settlement, &c, of the notes and book
account blended together made McCaulley mere
surety. and liable only as surety. At this point

bably be argued before jury, ut a subsequent
