MAYOR'S COURT, January 18.-Henry Smith, a gay and fes tive young man of dark complexion, who had been participating in the ''mazy dance" . at a splendid ball in Elliott street, and there salu? ting Sarah Brown, a dusky maiden, by a lick on the head with a club, while she was tripping tho very fantastic heel, was fined S5 for his ungallant conduct. An individual who had, sans c?r?monie, walked into a hoarding house, and gone up stairs to bed with all tho gravity of an old lodger, but who had been uncovered and brought out by thi aid of the police, wa3 discharged, as it was -supposed an overdose of whiskey had made him get so high. A five dollar bill, which had been left io answer for another Bill. who had been on a bust, was ex? amined and found to bo so good that it was re? tained and put into the service of the city. One or two other cases, which aro to be examin? ed into, concluded thc business of the day. STREET BEGGARS.-We havo heard, from moro than one source, that our citizens are being con? siderably annoyed, at thc pro ont time, by men and women knocking a*- their doors and ringing their bells, gcncraLy at meal times, and when the summons is answered by a servant, a soiled writ? ten paper or greasy book is sent in from some ene begging for money. These appeals arc generally accompanied by certificates, signed with imagi? nary names, giving a doleful account of the suffer? ings and wants of the petitioner; but as this is an old dodge which, we hope, thc people Iniow too well, wo don't think tho presentation of such doc? uments benefits them much. We are afraid, how? ever, that the mistresses of houses suffer most from these interruptions while engaged in domes? tic affairs, and wc would hint to tho police to keep an eye on these vagrants, and to prevent them as much as possible from disturbing families. While we know that want does exist in the community and that a great many persons, as of yore, have hearts filled with charity, still the large means that a number onoo possessed, thoy have no long er, and the small amounts they are now able to give are properly bestowed upon those of our own people, whoso poverty they are well acquainted with. It will be a long time before the inhabitants of any southern city will be able to Bupply visiting beggars oither with capital or travelling expenses, and therefore we would advise all such to compli? ment some other portion of the country with their presence. . TEE PHOENIX FIRE ENGINE COMPANY celebrated their anniversary yesterday. In the afternoon they paraded about fifty strong, their engino gaily aud tastefully adorned. "Tho "playing" was high ly satisfactory, giving a stream of 211 feet, with only 90 lbs. of steam on. In the evening the Company met, and tho ballot for officers resulted ia follows : W. E.

WILEY, Axmen. ?Vice J. F. E. HASELL, declined. A very elegant supper had been prepared by Mr. A. RACHEL, of tho popular No. 119 Meeting street Restaurant, and all hands seonied to enjoy them? selves in time, free and easy fireman's stylo, the Italian Harpers at intervals enlivening thc occasion with their dulcet sprains. Toasts wera offered, and speeches made, and a great degree of onthusiasm, and the very best of feeling pervaded the assem? bly. We seemed iiio toasts, and had ample notes of thc speeches of R. S. DURYEA, Esq., Chief M. H. NATHAN, his Honor the MAYOR, F. J. PORCHER, Esq., ROSWELL T. LOGAN, Esq., of the Mercury, and others, but the lateness of the hom, md the crowded state of our columns, preclude their pub? lication. CHANCE FOR AN EXCELLENT INVESTMENT.-Per? sons desiring to purchaso a plantation would do well to read an advertisement in another column. This is a fiuo opportunity for a profitable invest? ment, as the plantation-Cescribed is really a valu? able one, and will be sold cheap. Full particulars form'slied by C. W. DENNIS, at the Planters' Hotel. A NEW LIGHT.-WC last night tested the virtues of tho new burning fluid, th : ''Soiino OU," at THE NEWS Office, and can testify to thc entire accuracy of tho representations made in regard to it in tho advertisement, in to-day's paper, of Messrs. MC? KAY & CAMPBELL, thc agents for this city. Tho fight is bright and clem: neither smoke nor smell; and thc consumption very small. BETTER LATE THAN NEVER-Our old friend, Captain CORDES, having just remembered that ho did not send us a Christmas present, made full atonement yesterday. He sent us some Mer Bier. It wasn't exact.y lager, nor any other kii d wo over before drank lt was hot, sweet, and had eggs and cinnamon in it-and many tither ingredients, "too numerous to mention." Wo aro glad that tho Captain thought of ns, and more particularly that he did so4n such a handsomo maimer; May hid shadow never grow larger! P. S.-We neglected to mention thai thc Captain still entertains his friends and customers at tho old stand in Market street. THE TABLEAUX of tho Prophecies of ST. JOHN and tho Miltonian Tableaux open at Hibernian Hall on Monday evening next. Regarding these celebrated Tableaux thc New Orleans Times says : "This extraordinary exhibition continues to attract admiring thousands to Masouic Hall, who never grow fatigued gazing on tho grand and thrilling . scenes presented in all thc glow of a glorious art.

J. M. ROBSON, January 1 tuthsSmoa . No. 1.2 East Bay. THE COMPOSITION OF THIS GUANO IS IDEN? TICAL WITH PERUVIAN. IT DIFFERS ONLY IN THE PROPORTIONS OF THE SAME ELEMENTS. TT7TITLE IT CONTAINS LESS AMMONIA, IT HAS Vf nearly twice tho quantity of Phosphate of Limo, L5 per cont, of which ls immediately Rolublc. Ita effects >n Cotton the past season havu, in many instances, ex :clled Peruvian Guano. It has in no case proved less ac? ive in the early growth of tho crop. Whon drought in? ?rvenos tho crop does not suffer from its use as is the :ase with Peruvian Guano. By reason of the presence in t of so large aper cont, of Phosphate of Limo its use im? proves tlie soil to an extent that cannot be realized, from Peruvian Guano. Every' cargo of Ibis Guano is subjected te rigid inspee ion analysis, and is sold ou a basis ef actual value. The undersigned.
