PROVOST COURT.-There were no cases of inter? est before thia Court yesterday. D?L?GATIONS TO CINCINNATI.-Tho several dele? gations from the City of Charleston-the Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade-have had a consultation, and have arranged to leave on their mission, in behalf of the great enterprise of connecting the two cities by rail, on the 8th or 10th of June next* via New York. 8ALE or REAL ESTATE.-Messrs. JNO. S. RIOGS & Co. sold yesterday at their Brokers' Exchange, that building lot in Chapel-slreut, opposite the Northeastern Railroad, thirty feet front by one hundred and twelve foet deep, for $1010 (ten hun? dred and ten dollars). Also that three and a half story brick residence, west side of Church-street, next north of the First Baptist Church, contain? ing twelve rooms, pantry and other conveniences, lot fifty-five feet on Church-street and two hun? dred and forty feet deep, but much out of repair, for IG775. THE LADIES' FAIR, at Hibernian Hall, last nigh t, was crowded to overflowing. The Tableaux "ere superbly gotten up, and very well executed. "Hia? watha's Wooing" and "Minehaha's Death" were particularly fine. The mise en scene ahowod a thorough appreciation of LONGFELLOW. "The Tillage School" and "Rowena and Rebecca" were much admired. "The Literary Wife" was an ad? mirable conception of the Bas bleu, bnt the last tableau outshone them all. It represented "thc new regime-how Cuffeo and Dinah feel." The colored lady was dressed within an inch of her life in semi-bridal costume, putting on "airs," the gentleman, L e. Coffee, a consummate dandy, cedizened with jowelry, ogling the fair Dion through his lorgnette. In the background were two poor white "buckra:" one washing,-up to her elbows in the soap-suba; the other ironing with one hand, holding tho bab; on the other arm. This last pantomime, we feel assured, needed no interpreter. There will be another set of Tableanx to-night, and we advise all who have, and those w io have not been there last night, to come and see them, . and to be certain to bring their wiveB and little folks. The music of the 6th U. S. I. Band was a great addition to the evening's entertainment. The Apatalasoope was one of the leadiDg fea? tures of the evening, and attracted a great many visitors. The two young gentlemen in charge nf it acquitted themselves admirably. The "brick" is still there and may bo looked through again to? night. The Postoffice was in full blast, doing a big bu? siness. The way these fair officials dispatched the ni ale s was a caution. - The ice cream and sod a water stands were well patronized. EXCURSION OVER THE SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD TO AUGUSTA.-We had tho pleasure, in common with some other gentlemen, of enjoying an excur? sion over the above road to Augusta, leaving this city on Tuesday morning and returning yesterday afternoon. The party consisted of the following persons : Andrew Simonds, Esq., President, of let Nation? al Bank and Director South Carolina Railroad; James Rose, Director, &c. ; T. B. Clarkson, Direc? tor; T. D. Wagner, Rev. J. H. Honour, Geo. W. Williams, Hon. Wm. Aikon, S. W. Fisher, Secre? tary and Treasurer Charleston and Savannah Railroad; I. S. K. Bennett, Dr. J. E. Miles, Dr. J. E. Holbrook, A R. Taft, C. V. Chamberlain, J. H. Baggett, Gen. W. S. Walker, Wm. Carrington, Charles L. Carrington, Lemuel Crane, J. B. Robinson, C. A. Chisolm, 0. H. Bernaus, William Lebby, J. Hopkinson, R. S. Bruns, A S. Hull I. Ottolengni, T. M. Hanckel, P. J. Porcher, Henry Sparnick, of the Courier, and ourself. The excursion was a very pleasant one in all re? spects. The road seems in fine condition much better, indeed, than could be expected, owing to the dreadful destruction of it by SHER? MAN. We observed particularly tho fine, substan? tial ma 'ner in which the new track had been lain over thar portion from Branchville to Aiken, and we leann ! that the entire new track from Aiken to August?, will be shortly completed. We stopped over the first night at the pleasant village of Aiken, and proceeded to Augusta in the morning, taking with us Wk. GREGO, Sr., and WM. G az GO, Jr., proprietors of the Granite ville Fac? tory. This Manufacturing Company have shown much enterprise since the termination of the war. They have, as wo mentioned somo time since, bought and are now pntting up new machinery, and are making preparations for a much larger business than formerly. A short distance from Granitoville, directly on the railroad, the new Kalmia Mills are going up. From present pros? pects they bid fair to equal the largest in the State. Augusta soems prosperous. We seo thero scarcely any trace of the war, and the noted en? terprise of its citizens is visible in all directions. Our stay, however, in Augusta, was not long, and we were unable to see the city moro than in a general view. Lu the afternoon we returned to Aiken, where the good host of the Aiken Hotel, Mr. SSIYSER, had an excellent dinner prepared for us. And here we would speak commendingly of the management of this hotel. It is so exceedingly seldom that one going into the interior finds a place to atop where any 1-ind of decent accom? modations can be had, that when one is found we think it deserving of more than passing notice. Mr. SarrsER is a very good and attentive landlord, and he and his amiable wife understand thoroughly how to make you comfortable. We make this special mention of the Aiken Houso because many persons, this summer, will be in quest of a healthful retreat, and we can assure them that they can visit Aiken and be well cared for. . To ANDREW SIMONDS, Esq., tho oxcursion party is particularly indebted for bis clever manage? ment toward the general comfort of the party. The good things were furnished, of course, by Mr. PURCELL, of the Milla House. To Mr. BER HANS we are sure every one who went along will accord the praise that is due him. Mr. J. E. THAMES, the Conductor, was pleasant and agree? able, and Mr. BRADLET, the Engineer, was talked of by all, inasmuch as he "made the trip" as sue-, cessfuUy and in as good time as could be done. MILITAS* PUNISD HEKTS.-We-it would hardly be in plaie to say-enjoyed th? opportunity recently ofgettng an insight iutothe modus operandi ot militar.'puniBhments. Wednesday morning, at the Citadel, within the inner enclosure, we saw about twenty gentlemon undergoing the penalty at? tendant upon absence without leave on the night previous. These gentlemen were compelled to spend a good portion of the morning in the healthful exercise of perambulating an imaginary circle, each perambulator bearing upon bia shoul? der a respectable sized piece of pine wood. Yes? terday evening, however, we were in the Hame place, an eye-witness of a-mournfully ludicrous spectacle. Whilst the 6th Regiment of TJ. 8. Regu? lars were drawn out inline ona drees parade, several prisoners were marched np in front of the line, and each delinquent reprimanded or sen? tenced, as the misdemeanor required ; each one, of course, doffiiug his chapeau when called for? ward. ?s said ceremony was performed by the last ' culprit called upon, a head stood confessed in an j entire and disgraceful state of hairless nudity, and the owner of the head, which bore a striking resemblance to a human billiard boll, was inform? ed in military parlance that he had been fouud guilty of the crime of robbery, wherefore he was sentenced, first to be drummed out of thc regi? ment, and next to undergo two years' imprison? ment in the penitentiary at hard labor. The | prisoner was then seized upon by a file of guard, who suspended around his neck a rude necklace of thick twine, to which was attached a board, on which was written in letters of hugo dimensions J the single but expressive word, "ROBBERY." He was then marched along around the entire, en-j closure, with a bayonet projecting on each side ol j his so closely shaven head. The poor wretched creature made a vain and sickly attempt to play the facetious by inspecting the inscription upon the disgraceful necklace, but thc smile faded ere it was born, and gavo place to a look that a dog wears when caught in the act of purloining a I bone. It was a spectacle in which the mournful and the ludicrous were so blended that we knew not whether to weep or smile. Being at a loss which to do, we did neither. Moral-"Thou shalt I not steal." STEAMER KATE.-Tho steamer Kate, Captain T. j J. LOCKWOOD, from Palatka, via Jacksonville, Fer? nandina, Savannah, Hilton Head and Beaufort, arrived at a late hour last night, with the follow? ing passengers and consignments : Maniana Geo Bremner, Capt Richardson, Mr Barber, Mr Con? nor, A J Brady, lady, child and servant, C Watrous, X Butcher, Allan Gardner.

Alderman STE?TMEYSR moved that the candi* dates annoi.:.ced be elected by acclamation, which w??6 adopted, and on thc question being put, th'i above named Reutlenaou were unanimous? ly eicctod. On motion of Alderman STEIN MEYER, the Mayor was authorized, in case of tho non-acceptance of tho office by any of the gentlemen elected, to fill such vacancy. On motion of Alderman ENSTON proper ballot boxes, secured with good locks, were ordered to be furnished to the Managers. Alderman WHILDEN gave notice of his intention to introduce a bili to amend the Ordinance regu? lating the salary of the teacher of French in the High Behool, and asked that this be considered its first reading. Agreed to. Alderman GERDTS, from Committee on Streets, made the following report : The Committee on Streets recommended to Council, some time ago, the regular laying out of a section of land bounded south by Tradd-atreet, north by Broad, east by Logan, and west by a pond owned by A. H. Cbisolm, Esq.: tho buildings aro all destroyed, excepting one. The Committee then reported to have this section embodied, and running the streets parallel with the adjacent streets, which would give each lot-holder a well formed lot. This report was considered by Council and re? ferred back to the Committee on Streets, for tho purpose of reporting more fully, and to have a plat drawn, as wae suggested. Your Committee now respectfully report, that many obstacles havo appeared, of which they were not aware at tho time tho first report was made, as they had neither map nor plat to be guided by; and the plat before you now is far from being complete, but is suffi? cient to show that the plan proposed then cannot be carried out to the advantage of the lotholders, on account of there being too many Bm all lots, and many of them of a depth below one hundred feet, and nearly all the lota west of New-street and east of Savage-Btreet have only a depth of very little more than one hundred feet,-and n? the laying out proposed would give the lots between New and Savage streets a depth of about one hundred and twenty-five feet, and the lots between New and Logan streets about two hundred feet, it will tbereforo be perceived that this plan could not be made satisfactory to the lotholders generally. But it certainly would reflect upon tho good taste and enterprise of the peoplo of Charleston, and be decidedly against the landholders of the city to rebuild this portion in tho old corner wino way after all the buildings but one ore gone and thc place has been converted into an old field; BO muon so, that about one-third of these lots have been completely levelled, and the land marks de? stroyed, and the wayfarer has thought proper to choose bis own roads, which he considered moro direct and moro convenient than tho stroets made by the city. Your Committee therefore rocommend that a meeting of the lotholders be called by Council for the purpose of obtaining their consent, and for them to choose a board of trustees, to whom they might entrust all their lots, each of them taki ig a certificate for thc same, stating the number of superficial leet that each plat or deed colls for, (andar? actually thore, ) naming the locality of each lot. The board of trustees may then adopt and recommend to Council the plan now proposed or any other plan which they, m their judgment, consider better. After the streets and lots shall be laid ont, all the lots shall be put op at auction, giving each lot or certificate-holder notice of such Bales, so aa to enable him or them to attend them; and should any of the certificate-holders purchase any lot or lots in the same locality that his certificate calls for; and should such certificate call for less land than what he bought, he shall pay the balance, according to the price made; and should the lot so bought bc lees than his certificate calls for, then be or they must credit on such certificate, and the balance is paid to him or them when all the lands are Bold, excepting lotholders on Logan street and Tradd stroet should contribute a por? tion of their lands for widening said streets. On New and Savage streets there is nothing lost by widening, for theso streets are becoming muob snorter, and, therefore, what is lost in one way is made up in another; and as Broad street is not widened, of course there is no loss there. There are no doubt many lots which have en? cumbrances on them, and others again belonging to minors. Let the trustees retain the former until the encumbrances can be removed ; and as for the property belonging to minors, let applica? tion be made to the Court of Equity for the sale of this property. For if a double price should be obtained, at the expiration of seven years than what it might bring now, it would yet bo to the advantage of these minors to sell now. It should furtherbe remembered that if there is no attraction offered to this portion of the city, it may remain in its present state for many years to come. For we have had examples of this kind in days of prosperity, when there was no lack of means to cause it. Many lots, the buildings of which were destroyed by the groat fire of 1838, wero not rebuilt upon until ten or fifteen years after. And as we aro almost sure of getting street care next winter, which no doubt will have a ten? dency to movo the town moro toward the present suburbs, as has been the case in all cit os where they have been introduced, and aomo of our prettiest and most pleasant parts may become noglectod by it. But if this spot is takon in hand now, good wide streots niado, beautiful shado trees planted (of which so many varieties aro so well adapted to our climate), this, with a good largo lot, on a good wide street, cannot fail to holp considerably to have this portion rebuilt. In conclusion, tho' Committee deem it not ont of placo to Btato that tho proposal offered i* not made for any selfish purposes. They would say to thc landholders: '"Don't deceive yoiucelveB. and think that the city will purchaac your proper? ty ir you withhold your consent." Tho city hus already its full sharo of debts; and besides that, if the city buys out the interest of those who are, perhaps, born and raised thero, to whom should the city look for purchasers ? It is, therefore, very desirable for all that thia plan,upon the whole, should bo carried into eflvct; for thoso who wish to sell will have a much better chance to get more for their lota after they ebnll have been improved, especially when it is borne in mind that all the improvements contemplated are to be carried out at the expense of the city. (Signed) H. GERDTS. R. M. BUTLER. Z. B. OAKES. JAMES R. PRINGLE. JACOB SMALL. Alderman MARSHALL, after complimenting the Chairman of the Committee on Streets, for the able manner in which he has discharged the ardu? ous duties of his office, moved that the report be adopted, and that thc Mayor bo requested to in? vite the landholders ia that portion of the city to meet the Committee on Streets, for the purpose of submitting to them the plan proposed. Adopted. On motion, Council adjourned. IO- ALL PERSONS HAVING DEMANDS against the Estate of (he late WM. H.
