To OCR SUBSCBIBEBS.-Wo would call tho atten? tion of those who aro indebted to us throughout tho country, that tho old yoar is closing and their account? aro not yet settled. Tho prico of sub? scription is not largo, and will not bo missed from their plethoric pockets. Tho first of January has long boen celebrated as a day set apart for closing old accounts, and wo would not bavo our friends depart from this time-honored ctitstom. Monoy is tho motivo pc.wcr of every enterprise, and news? papers are no exception, and wo respectfully a8k our country subser bcrs to cash up and commence tho now year with a clear record. PERSONAL-Tho Hon. FERNANDO WOOD arrived in the city yesterday afternoon, by steamor, from Savannah, and 18 stopping at the Mills House.

M. QUINN & BRO. for tho February number of | Oodey. It is, as usual, filled with excellent fashion plates and interesting reading matter. FBEraDscHAirsBUND.-Again the members |of | this club and their friends enjoyed a rino musical and dramatic feast. HERR PIETSCH played his pnrt well. The last piece, "Guten Abend, Herr Fischer." was excellently rendered, and afforded much amusement to tho audience THE TRIBUNE ALMANAC_Wo have received a copy of this Almanac, valuable for its statistics and for rcferenco as to other matters. Barring its political tondencies, it is tho most valuable publi? cation of the kind in tho country. Published by j the Tr.bune Association, Now York. ANOTHER EXHIBITION COMINO TO TOWN_Wc learn that we aro shortly to have a panoramic ex? hibition of "Paradiso lost," the samo as that ex? hibited hero last year, to which will be added rep? resentations of tho "Apocalypse," from the recent designs of GUSTAVE DORE and JOHN MARTIN. Re? port speaks very highly of this exhibition. SHOOTING_Wc understand that a few days ago, a very trusty and intelligent negro mau, of the name of Frank, who was the overseer upon the plantation of Mr. J. BENNET BUSSELL, at Comba liee, had been shot and killed by another negro, who was working upon the placo as a bricklayer. The murder, as wo are informed, was a foul ono, and the offender hos been arrested. THE ATMOSPHERE.-Tho past two days have beon nnusually warm, and a stranger, who was not ac? quainted with the variability of our climate, would be led to think that tho Almanac was mistaken, and that it was spring instead of tho depth of win tor. Although tho air has been very mild and temperate, yet there was a sultriness connected with it that made it unpleasant and oppressive. The moisture exuded from the pavoments and marble floorings; and houses in damp situations were uncomfortably moist, while tho streets looked as if they wore just recovering from the effects of a slight shower. Overcoats wcro generally discard? ed, and fires wore only mode from habit, and tho coal market was decidedly fiat, few investments were made, and private parties were considering tho advisability of disposinc; of their stock on hand. At 9 A.M., yesterday tho thermometer was at 64. The weather-wise have been completely disconcerted by tho change, and the prophets have renounced their calling in despair, while the community think that it is an "Ul wind that blows nobody good," and aro thankful that tho poor aro spared the sufferings occasioned by a severe winter. THE NEW CUSTOM HOUSE_In tho good old days we read about-the ante bellum era-it was decided by the powers that be-the heads of the nation-that Charleston should have a new Cus? tom House-one suited to her commercial pros? perity-and that tho old building that served the donblo purpose of Post?nico and Custom House, be discarded. Preparations were immediately commenced on an extensive scale, and tho lot at the corner of Market and East Bay streets was drainod, filled np and piled until it was sufficiently firm to bear tho weight of tho building. This was designed to be the finest structure in tho city, and groat pains wero taken to make it an edifice equal to Uncle Sam's ambition, and worthy of the port of Charleston. The labor of building consumed sev.ral years, and when the war commenced it was still unfinish? ed, and the appropriation of $5000, made by Secre? tary COBB, was employed in roofing it, in order to preservo it from tho action of the weather. During the war more momentous questions agitated the minds of the Confederate Congress, and the Custom House was neglected and abandoned. The yard and wharf were soon thickly covered witu un undergrowth of myrtle and weeds, and the granite columns and unfinished blocks that were scattered around became completely bidden from view. At present its condition is but little improved. The grounds have still the same wild appearance, and although the Collector uses the basement as a storehouse, no improvements have been made, and evidently nono are intended. The masters af the position at Washington have seemingly no wish to moke any appropriations that would bene? fit the South ; and although our commerce has improved since the war, and the necessity for in? creased accommodations will soon be as urgent as they ever wero, yet the Government is content to rent buildings that ore unsuited for tho purpose, and the Granite Custom House is suffered to stand in its present unfinished stateyas a monument to reprove ns for our late rebellions course. THE FITNESS OT THINGS.-We forget whether it was LUTHER or WESLE? who remarked that he did not seo why tho Devil should have all the good tunes, and tho Church only those of a doleful ? character.' Certain it is that there is a prevailing prejudice still widely existing in favor of solemn music for the Church service. Some there are who think that the music should, in all cases, be adapted to tho words, but this idea ia not nnfre- I qnentiy treated by the professors of the tuneful ! art os antiquated. Such a s'.rict adherence to tb ? "letter" is thought to be.very injurions to the full development of the divine muse. This train of thought was suggested by. attendance at church [ recently, not many hundred miles from the Pal? metto city. The ministor "gave ont" "Plunged in a gulf of dark despair." After an elaborate prolnde the choir struck np "Gratitude,"-an adaptation, if we aro not mis? taken, of a German waltz. After the first stanza had beon sung, thc organist showed his taste, and enlivened the audience, by giving the aria, with variations, of course, of "Still so gently o'er me stealing." Tho second was sung, and for inter? lude followed a few bars from "A life on the Ocean wave." Thon tho choir gave tho third stanza of | the hymn, which was relieved by an aria from "Masaniello," and so on to the end. For some unaccountable reason, ministers do not like this arrangement. And wo ourselves think it would work much better to let tho organ? ist or leader of the choir first "give out" the tune; the rector can then adapt his hymn to it after? wards. We throw out this hint aa an experiment ! merely, not feeling quito sure whether or not it | will work. THE FINE ARTS.-Tho Council Chamber baa been so often remodelled that it has become I gradually transformed into an apartment that | might vie with a ladies' boudoir for the tasty ar? rangement and elegant style of the furniture, paintings, &c. Tfto number of the latter have I been lately increased by the addition of two fine half-size and life-like portraits of Generals E. E LEB and Stonewall JACKSON. These two glori?os chieftains are on either side of the desk-look calmly on, apparently as much at home in the cabinet as they were in the field. The gilt frames make these portraits very attractive, and they odd - greatly to the appearance of a room that could hardly be improved upon. But besides the fine arts, other improvements aro visible. The massy chandelier and brilliant gas fixtures are of recent finish, and owe much of their present beauty to the hands of. Mr. BROOKBANKS, a veteran gas fitter. Tho Council Chamber hos been made so very attractive that it is.surprising that the Aldermen do not alter the Constitution so a? to meet there every Tuesday instead of having it fortnightly, as at present. ST. MicitAXi/3 CHIMES_The gratifying intelli , gonco was received hore a few days ago that thoa bolls, eight ia number, had boon remoulded ant wore shipped on tho Gladstone, which vessol sa?ci from Liverpo ol cn the 23d ultimo. Thia announce mont, we know, will bo hailed with joy by tho en tiro community, to whom tho bells wore ' a never failing source of pride, and whose sweet chime! when onco beard were ncvor forgotten. But th? long, long, weary days are passing away, anc Fathor Timo, with his loadon wings, will soot bring tho joyful intelligeuco that once moro om oars are to bo regaled and our senses delighted bj tho joyful peals that were wont to issue from old St Michael's tower. The bells were sent to the foun? dry from whenco they wero originally obtained many years ago; and they will como to us, aftor their second birth, fraught with many remem? brances of the past, but will ring out boldly and exultingly of a hopeful future. St. Michael's chimes and Charleston oro Inseparably connected, and their resurrection and reconstruction will bo recoivod as an omen of good, and with their owcet sounds again pealing upon tho air, tho past will be forgotten, and, like our moro onorgotic brethren, wo will commence to mako a history that will put Charleston again bofore tho world as tho Queon City of the South. THE SEACOAST ROUTE FROM NEW YOKE TO NEW ORLEANS-Tho true policy for all th ? seaboard cities of tho South ;to pursue in reference to the groat through travel, is to urge, by all tho means in their power, the speedy completion of the Sea? board route. This is the only line that will give Charleston and Savannah a fair share of the pas? senger traffic from Now York to New Orleans. Owing to the level nature of the country, a sche? dule may bo run upon the shortest une along fie seacoast that will defy competition in speed. Thc following notice of the probable early construction of a railroad from New Orleans to Mobile, wo copy from an exchanq e. This road will form a valuable portion of this through connection ; Most of our readers will be surprised, and all will be gratified to learn that capitalists of ample means have united into a company, which will, within fourteen months, construct tue long needed railroad heneo to Mobile, bridging the Rigolets, and placing tho delightful coast towns of Missis? sippi within two or three hours' ride from Cana street. Hardly any announcement could be moro p^tifying to our permanent residents, so many of whom do now ana so many more would wish *o en? joy the refreshing breezes and invigorating baths at these places of resort, beside the multitude of others who need such a road for extensivo travel and transportation of goods. MAYOR'S COURT, January 15.-A colored occu? pant of a house, ? who suffered his chimney to get on fire, was fined $10. A person, from whoso residence a basin of water was thrown, to the discomfort of an elderly "gem man ub cull ur," who was coming from church, and whose Sunday clothes and hat kindly relieved the earth from receiving the shower, was fined $2. Frank Harrison, tho colored ex-warrior, who, stated yesterday that he had to report at tho Cita? del every day, and was sent to tho Provost Mar? shal, being not recognized as a soldier and re? turned, was fined $5. A junk shop-keeper, who had beon dealing large? ly in stolen railroad bolts, and who had accident? ally foi gotten to enter the purchase on his book, as required by the ordinance, was fined $15 for tho slight omission, and notified by an agent of the company that he would be prosecuted. Three persons, who had been indulging in the most improved brand of whiskey, were fined $5 each and one $10. A man, last from Augusta, and who follows the pleasant and profitable occupation of a pick-pock? et, was ordered to be sent from the State. Co ?BT OF GENERAL SESSIONS AUS COMMON PLEAS. The Court met at 10 A. M. yesterday, and a suffi? cient number of Jurymen answerinc to their Dames, the following Grand Jury was organized: W. S. HASTIE, Foreman; V?. MAHER, E. F. SWEEOAN, H. K. SnxniAN, W. F. BAHNTJE, JAMES QELLLLAKD, J. H. STRATTON, A. CALDER, JOHN BAKER, JAMES BURKS, C. SABXMANN, W. F. ELLER? SLEE, A. H. LAND, F. DEEQENAN, 3. M. SADWASKT, H. TUCE, JOHN KLETNJOHAN. The Judge briefly charged tho Grand Jury both on their duty and on the offences and crimes that would be committed to thom for their decision. Se stated that in their body twelve must agree; if they found themselves unable to come to such an tgreement, they would be obliged to return "No Bill." It was not necessary to examine every wit? ness if they were satisfied of the guilt or inno? cence of tho accused by the testimony of ono or two. The offences charged in the indictment pre? sented to them were capital crimes-three of them for murder and one for burglary. In all of these cases tho evidence consisted of a class of persons who have never before testified, but it was now the law of the land to admit this testimony, and that it was highly satisfactory. Though os a class, ne? groes were not intelligent, it perhaps rendered them in some instances more reliable, aa it was impossible for them to concoct a statement that could deceive. He defined the crimes of murder and burglary clearly, and stated that it must be upon their hon? est convictions, caused by the nature of tho evi? dence, that they decide! on the character of the BUL He also advised them to visit the public build? ings and report upon their condition, and upon any ?rrong doing, oppression, or grievance which rrould, in their opinion, need redress. They were ,he conservators of the public and had great du? ties to perform, and had taken a solemn oath to lischarge them faithfully; they had each sworn to ?eep the secrets of themselves and fellows, and vhatovor passed in their counsels should be kept nviolate. The following bills were handed them jy the Attorney-General : The State vs. Reuben T. Walling. Murder. The State vs. Jno. Jenkins and Scipio Fraser Mas Jno. Williams. Murder. Tho State vs. Horace Greeley alias Johnston, and John Bull alias John Bennett. Murder. The State os. Isabella Clark. Burglary. The Grand Jury found no bill in the first case, md a true bill in the others. Tho prisoners in each case in which a true bill ?vas found, were arraigned, and upon their arraign? ment plead not guilty. The trial of John Jenkins and Scipio Fraser was tppointedfor the 23d. That of Horace Greeley and Fohn Bull for the 18th. Hon. J. B. CAMPBELL was requested to defend the first, and R. W. SEYMOUR, Esq., the second. The trial of Isabella Clark will aka place on Thursday. The following Petit and Tales Juries were organ, zed, and the Court adjourned to 10 A. M. to-day : Jury No. 1-L S. E. Bennett, Foreman; P. W. Soiland, James Wiley, James N. Bee, James Ra? tall Thomas Flynn, Nathaniel Fields, T>. A. Walker, C. Momeyer, John C. Ogerman, John R. Dukes, Wm. Harrall. Jury No. 2-H. M. Maniganlt, Foreman; W. I* rrenholm. James Marsh, P. W.

Glover, W L. Doggett, James Carey, Patrick Darcy. U. S. DISTRICT COURT-The Court met at ll A M., Judge BRYAN presiding.-The caso of libe was resumed. Captain SMITH was put on th stind, and in the course of his examination by th District Attorney, certain questions were object? to by the opp caite counsel as being irrelevant, a the cases upon which the witness was question? did not bear upon the present trial. The Distric Attorney, in a lengthy argument, .defined his poa: tion, and quoted from Jndere STORY, PRTT.T.TPS an the State authorities, to prove that such testimon was admissible. Mr. BUIST, in reply, showed that the test mony of the last two witnesses had been refuse by the Grand Jury, who found no bul in the ii dictaient against Capt. BONNEAU for smugglinj The present case was for the forfeiture of tl -vessel for cn illegal inn/ling of stores^ and tl reply of the respondent was a flat denial of as knowledge or connivance on his part of said ra loading and landing. To bring np other ca? that had plainly no bearing on the one in issn and to endeavor to' prove a connection throng witnesses whose testimony had no weight with tl Grand Jury, was clearly not legal evidence, ai whatever they might say could not influence tl case. The Judge, in reply, stated that if the cases i volved the landing and the knowledge of the a< any evidence bearing upon that point was admi sible. What transactions the Captain of the Ora% shot was engaged in, and what he did at that tux I were not important as connected with the preso landing, but if it could be proved thai, any arrang menta in regard to lights, Sus., wero made, it mig be allowed. He could see no bearings upon t present case, as the law required that the eviden must show an intention to defraud; and the U timony was therefore ruled out, as sot affecting t case in issie. Mr. B. J. PARKER, Mr. JOSEPHUS WOODRUFF a Mr. JOHN HORLBECK, Custom House officers, te* fled to having found the segara concealed in t house No. 29 East Bay, and having them carr: to the Custom House stores, where they were i praised.

Tho bananas were sol by order of Court; they had been valued at $li but he had casually heard they only brought $1. Mr. JAMES BANCBOFT and SAMUEL C. BLACK, wit nes80s for the defenco, testified that thoy were ol< segar merchants and knew tbo value of segara those from Baracoa were of on inferior quality, ant would not bo worth moro than $25 to $30 per 10CK at tho present rates boro; they bad always sold foi $10 to $12 per 1000 before the w*r. Tho Court then adjourned, and tho coso was con? tinued over until Thursday. DISTRICT COURT.-Tho Court met at 10 A. M. yesterday, in tho City Hall. The venire was called, and tho Juries being organized, tho case of tho State vs. Jack Morris^colored) for larceny was token up.

The petition of the street city laborers for in- 1 crcasodpay, was referred to the Committee on Re? trenchment and Relief. Tho Committee on Licences reported favorably on the application for tavern licences by Jos. Cum? mings and Samuel Burns. Report adopted. The Committee on Retrenchment and Relief, in regard to tho petition of Eliza Lee, requesting that her son be placed in the Asylum, consider that he is not crazy, and if ho should become worse the City Hospital is amply sufficient. Tho same Committee, on the petition of Ed. Lafitte, on the payment of taxes, recommended that the same bo adopted. Tho Committee on' Lighting tho City, on the principle of tho multiplying patent of Mr. Poznan? ski, reported, t' ^ugh Alderman Honour, that, not relying on t" aeory, they had examined the practice; and in che Main Guard House, the Milla House, and the Daily News Office, this patent had been tested, and it was proved by the metre to have lossened the consumption of gas S3 per cent.; therefore, it was Resolved, That the Committee bo empowered to make arrangements with tho Gas Company and with Mr. Poznanski, to light one thousand street { lamps', and also to apply his principle to the public buildings. In connection with this case, the Mayor stated that the demand for moro light was imperative.
