PROVOST COURT.-There were no cases of inter?

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."

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.
