The Company paraded through the city in the afternoon, and looked the same hopeful youths, the spem gregis, we have always I known them. Although their number is compara- I lively small at present, "ne cede malis,n the motto I of the Company, Beems written upon the brow of | every one of the members. Under the able man? agement of their popular President, the Company I is destined to become one of the largest and best j in th? city. After the business had been transacted the | Company adjourned to Hibernian Hall, where a ) splendid Ball was in waiting. We dropped in ?? about midnight, and were welcomed with the fa- j milliar, yet ever fresh and pleasing "Lancers," | played by MULLER'S far-famed Band. The young folks seemed to enjoy themselves. This much found, we left them, and promptly returned to pen this paragraph.

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COUBT.-In Admiralty. -On Tuesday the Court was engaged in the con? sideration of the case of the steam tug Christiana and smack Gov. Perry ta. schooner Ma?, cargo and freight libel for salvage. A. H. BROWN, Esq., I for libellants ; M. P. O'CONNOR, Esq., for owners of the vessel. On motion of CoL BBOWK, JOHN E. RIVERS, Esq., was admitted to practice in the Unit ;d States District Court, and appeared for the owners of the cargo. The several parties to the case having effected an agreement, Judge BEVAN delivered a decree in accordance therewith. The reese! is to be sold at public auction by the United States Marshal, on Monday next, the 24th inst., and the proceeds to be paid into the Registry of this Court. ' This schooner had bsen abandoned at sea, ten miles south cf Cape Romaine, about two months ago. Yesterday the Court was occupied in taking tes? timony in the case of the Owners and Crew of the steamship Dictator vs. The bark Mazatlan, for -'salvage. Messrs. YEADON & HANCKEL for libellante, and Messrs. PORTER tc, CONNER contra. Bark valued at $7000, and cargo at $7642. ? E. D. MULLIGAN,-Mate of the Dictator, deposed that about daylight on the 10th of October last he saw a ship with flag flying, supposed in distress. Made a signal, and the answer was, "Wanted as ' gistance." Said they had lost their instruments, ftvifl were out of provisions. Witness thinks the . Dictator was endangered by the towing of this large bark, the weather at the time being cloudy. The Dictator would have reached Charleston at 10 or 12 o'clock in the morning, instead of 8 in the evening. The Mazatlan waB out of reach of other vessels. There was no chango of wind; there were two squalls. She was ton or fifteen miles out of the track of steamers. Captains MIDDLETON, FERGUSON and ANTHOXS: MICHAEL were then examined on the part of tho - libellants. They agreed in all the essential points, and gave it as their opinion that the Mazatlan was in danger at the time she was taken off her an? chorage by the Dictator. Captain F. stated that towage under circumstances like those at present under consideration is worth about $150 an hour. They all admitted that, with a fair wind, the bark might have made Savannah. Capt. HXPOLITE FAUVBE, Master of tho Mazatlan, was then examined. He stated that she was own? ed in Havre, and at the time of the disaster was on her voyage from Carmen, in Mexico, for Havre, loaded with hides, logwood, fustic, etc. In lati? tude 30, and longitude (of Paris) 80, she was over? taken by a gale, on the 2d of October last. He lost his masts and his three boats, and one of the crow was washed ashore from the skylight. The hull sustained no injury. The copper was a little dam? aged. She was taking water at the rate of two and a half inches per hour. She shipped from eight to nine feet of water during tho gale, while lying on her beam ends, but 48 hours after he had pumped it out completely. The storm lasted 36 hours at its worst. On the 4th oi" October set up the jury mast. Did not throw overboard any part of the cargo. Made 219 miles between the 5th and 8th of October, by moans of his sails. The current would have taken him to the northeast. He was an? chored in six fathoms of water. Had five anchors. Weather fair, sea calm, from two to three miles off from land. Was not uneasy about the vessel. Had seven sails he could use on his jury mast. Could have gone either to Fernandina pr to Charleston. Asked the Diciator how much she would charge t^ take the bark to Savannah. Capt. C. said he would take her and leave it to the authorities to decide what his compensation should be. The mate sug? gested that the cost would not to much greater io take her to Charleston, and it was determined to bring her here. Did not consider he was in need of salvage service; only wanted towage. His signal was not one of distress, but only expressing a desire to communicate. Was not out of provis? ions, though most of his provis-'ons had been spoil? ed by the water. His sextant was not seriously injured. He knew very well where he was. The value --f the vessel, before she was wrecked, was from 50,000 to 70,000 francs. Messrs. CKAHT.ES LINING and WM. BIRD were examined. They are Port Wardens, and had : made a survey and appraisement of the vessel and : cargo. No new facts were elicited by their testi? mony. The mate of the Mazatlan was next examined. The case will be continued and probably concluded : to-day. Captain FAUVBE gave his evidence in French, in? terpreted by Mr. ESDRAS. THE HEBEEW BENEVOLENT SOCIETY.-The seven- . ty-fifth anniversary of this Society was celebrated yesterday. After the other business had been transacted, the Society proceeded to the election of officers, and the following gentlemen were selected to serve during the ensuing year: A. FALK, President S. L. MOSES, vice-President. ' 8. M. LEVIN, Secretary and Treasurer. Dr. C. DAVEOA, Physician. Trustees-B. F. Moise, P. Wineman and A Loryea. Committee on Benevolence-Louis Cohen, P. Epetin and . H. Clarke. At half-past 6 P. M. the members and invited guests sat down to a most sumptuous repast, pre- . pared in due accordance with the sacred precept, by j Mr. J. XEVISOHN. The tables looked well-every? thing was arranged with exceeding taste. The viands and the drinkables were all choice, such as : are rarely met with at a public dinner, and the com- ; party assembled, we feel assured, duly appreciated Mr. Lu's efforts. After the cordeau et fourchette exercises had been concluded, the regular toasts were read, as fol? lows : L "The Founders of the Society-May the acorn planted by their generous hands expand into a noble oak, whose branches shall shelter all who need our assistance." Responded to by Mr. H. VALENTINE, in a very able and eloquent manner. The-theme was as no? ble a one as even the most ambitious orator could desire, and we are happy to say that our young friend did credit both to himself and the subject. 2. "Charity-'The connecting link between man and the angels." Replied to by our talented young townsman, J. BARRETT COHEN, Esq., than whom no one could have been chosen more suitable to reply to such a sentiment. 3. "The President of the United States-A. true patriot, who knows only his whole country." J. N. NATHANS, Esq., replied. He briefly and very ably sketched the history of the country, and paid a handsome tribute to JOHNSON for his staunch and unfaltering advocacy of the Constitu? tion. 4. "Our Sister Society^Kor "history presenta an example of prudence in management and generosity In doing good.?' Responded to by the Vice-President of the He? brew Orphan Society, Dr. P. M. COHEN. 6. "The Memory of Grace Aguilar-A. bright particular star amidst the galaxy of Israel's daughters." Mr. S. M. LEVIN was very properly selected to reply to this sentiment; for who else was in a con? dition to discourse so eloquently on the galaxy of Israel's daughters? Having drunk a recent in? spiration, he bestowed a most glowing tribut? to one of .the most brilliant and loveable of her sex. No authoress of the present or last generation was more widely read, or wielded a greater and more beneficent influence than Miss AQUILAS. "Home Influence," and the "Mother's Recom? pense," are two very pleasing books, that will be read for years to come, and read with profit. "Wo? man's Friendship'' is a charming story, which has moved thousands to tears. "The Vale of Cedars," "The Women of Israel," and other writings, all have illustrated this stu: of Israel, and marked her one of the first "magnitude. Mr. L.'s effort, in our opinion, was the most brilliant of the evening, and was very well received. : G. "Religious Liberty-The corner-stone of national greatness." - Replied tb by ASHER D. COHEN, Esq., who spok? of the history of religious intolerance. He Btated that the Constitution of the United Staies-is the first public national instrument recognizing a perfect religious equality. 7. "Commerce-The sister of civilization and enlight? enment-The mother of refinement and wealth." Mr. M. STRAUSS replied in his usual long and happy styl?. Mr." ^3. is well versed in the history of Commerce, and also in the annals of the people of Israel, and he traced the influence of the one on the other, and of both on the events of the world's history and on civilization. 8. "The Jewish Ministry-A noble vocation. Its aims should be high, and its followers upright and pure." Rev. M. H. MSEBS being absent on account of illness, a reply waa read from him. 9. "Our Native State-Dear to us always, now. more dear in her hour of suffering and pain." Mr. C. H. MOISE was absent, but sent a very handsome reply, which waa read; 10. "The Press-The clouds of bigotry and ignorance disappear before its benign rays." Responded to in behalf of the Press by our friend, Mr. N. LEVIN, in his very happiest manner. He pointed out briefly the numerous and great ad? vantages of a free press, deprecating the penal law for libel. Wiihit, he maintained, it wasim . ' ' ; ? '' 1:' ' t ?! I pocciblo to have a perfectly free press. "What a monstrous solecism on the civilization of the age is this law of libel !" Our thanks aro due Mr. LEVIN for standing up so gallantly for our craft. There were many volunteer toasts after this, and the company remained until a late hour in tho night, enjoying themselves in true, old-fashioned style. The FBEU^DSCHA TTSBUNP, it will be seen by the advertisement, are to have one of their musical and dramatic treats this evening. VOCAL MUSIC-The friends of Mrs. CARBOL will bo pleased to learn that she has returned to thi3 city, and is prepared to take pupils both in singing and the piano. IF ANY ONE is curious in miniature naval archi? tecture, they can see the "Fanila" nine tons, at Pier No. 2 Union Wharves, just arrived from New York. THE TENANTS' OF GLEBE LANDS OF ST. PHILIP'S CHURCH.-We direct attention to a notice, calling a meeting of the above persons , at the office of SI? MONS & SIMONS, published in our issue of to-day. ABIT?LES FOB CHBISTMAS.-Messrs. MEHBTENS & WOHLTMANN, at No. 187 EaBt Bay, in their adver? tisement to-day, present to our readers a list of fine things, which are suitable not only for family use, hut for presents to friends, and as their stock is always selected with great care, we do not know anyplace we could suggest.to our fi-ends better than theirs to make purchases. THE CHABLESTON HIGH SCHOOL.-At a meeting yesterday of the Board of Commissioners, an election was held for Second Assistant Teacher, and Mr. F. W. CLEMENT was elected to fill the va? cancy created by the resignation of Mr. H. B. ABCHEB, who had recently been elected to the position of Principal of the St. Philip street Public School. Mr. CLEMENT having been Third Assistant Teacher, that., place became vacant, and the Com? missioners, upon ballot, elected Mr. VIRGIL C. DIBBLE to that post. In this we think they have made an excellent choice, Mr. D. being a young gentleman of considerable promise and of very fair attainments. He is a graduate of the College of Charleston. A CHRISTMAS PRESENT.-"What shall I select for a holiday present?" isa question that many are asking themselves. We answer, select something 1 that will be acceptable, durable, useful, orna? mental, that will enhance in value from year to year, and thus prove a lasting pleasure and bone fit both to the donor and the recipient. We know of nothing better adapted to accomplish all these ends than a Florence Sewing Machine. They are emphatically the machines for family use, having no equal for utility, durability and superior qualifi? cations throughout. They are so readily adjusted that they can be operated by any person after a few hours' instruction. They make four separate and distinct stitches, each of which can be used at the-will of the operator. They have the reversible feed motion, and will do any kind of sewing, plain or ornamental. The motions are all positive, hence it is not hable to get ont of order. Those who desire to purchase so acceptable a present will do well to call at HAYDEN'S jewelry Btore, corner of King and Hasel-streets, where Messrs. C. W. DENNIS & Co., the general agents for South Carolina, will take pleasure in exhibiting the various styles to all who may call. To THOSE wanting Artificial Legs or Arms we would call particular attention to the advertisement in another column. m th a PECTOBAL BALM has become a household word in every family. Lu the treatment of croup, coughs and influenza, it is superior to any preparation that has been discovered. For sale by all Drug? gists. . ? KTNG & CASSTDEY, Agents. GOODRICH, WLNEMAN & CO., Agente.
