"HARD TIMES, AND WOBSE A'COIIEX'."-This is the retrain of ev^ry son? chantad in kitchen and parlor, in oabiu and mansion, on tho street, ?nd at the coveter of tho bank. Factors, merchants, planters, farmers, mechanics, doctors, proaohors, and even editors, all join in the choras-"Hard Timos."

W. B. Smith & Co., having on board 252 bags sea island ana 1213 bales upland cotton. The British bark "The Queen" waa also cleared for thc same port by Messrs. B. Mme & Co., with 40 b3gs of sea island and 2051 bales of upland ootton, 093 barrels rosin and 3o8 bags cotton seed, coast wi-o tiieie was cleared by Messrs. Courtenay & Trea holm the steamship Champion, for New York, with a freight hst o Jil t.erces rice, ?S bags sea island and 800 bales arnaud cotton; and Mes-rs. J. & T. Getty cleared lia "Miami," with 1139 baL? ot up? land cotton. Tbeso freights show a growing activity both in our foreign and coastwise trade, and wo hope t..o cargo for Liverpool by stoam will bo rapidly suc? ceeded by others untd the permanent establish? ment of a st sam line to that threat cotton con ire is secured. It also affords us satisfaction to notice that tho late arrai gements of our railroad and steamboat managers has so decidedly met tho publ.c approbation as to secure a large accesi?n to the business of our steam lines coastwise. RIBS rx COTTON-GENXBAL TBADE.- A it er a pe? riod of heavy declino in cotton, in which the arti? cle appeared to be approaching a point whero tho great Sou.hem staple would only have but a nomi? nal value, this important product, contrary to tho opinion of many, has taken an unexpected and de? cided rise of }d. per pound in the British market. We notice at tho moment no satisfactory cause for this sudden improvement, but it is reasonable to expect that, with poace ia Europe, the present low price will mduco increased consumption, and all that is wanted to give tho product a wider fiele, of market, wiih improving price.:, is cheap food. With this element supplied, there can be but little room to question that a better demand and en? hanced rates would ensue. As this advance in price is accompanied with a good Manchester r? pott. it is tobo hoped that it is tho beginning of a permanent improvement both in tho demand and price. A few cents additional added to the present value of tho article would do mrch to re? lieve the planting interest, and would induce tho growers of the commodity to go to work with a better spirit and more confidence in the future. The trade of tho South would also be reanimated, and much that is gLomy and cheerless now would brighten with the prospect of a better day. Tna CLO?E OF THE THEATEIC_L SEASC .-With the play cf Saturday night, thc theatric... season has been clossd, though it is hoped bot for a short interval Previous cn~gements imperatively de? manded tho presence ot the troupe in Savannah, an l the Charleston community have been reluc? tantly compelled to forego the pleasures of tlirso entertainments. The plays cf Jack Sheppard and the laughable farce, Glance at New York, wcro re? ceived on S : tardily night with unbounded ap? plause, tho audience at onco testifying to their ap? preciation of tho acting and their sorrow at part? ing with those who bad faithfully fulfillod all oro? mises, and made Charleston brighter, gayer and happier than at any period smco the war. Our sister city, Savannah, wall have now the benefit of the theatrical management or Messrs. Templeton, and the Forrest City h's already made prepara? tions to give them a warm waloomo. Ibsy have eneaged a large numbor of aotors, tnd will givo the people of Savannah some idea of true histroni; talent, by introducing on the stage stars that havo never before- visited the South. The Templeton Brothers have been favorably r?jeived ia Charlestou, and though l-.boring under almost insurmountable difficulties, they havo pre? sented to the community theatrical representa? tions that have boen worthy of ail praise. Their departure will be regretted by all who have ever witnessed their entertainments, bat tho r ?rief will be somewhat assuaged by tho knowlod?o that the parting- ia not oternal and a fow weeks may again witness the footlights and the accompani? ments of a theatre revived. TEX CHARLESTON OEPHAX HOCSE-Few publio charities are more deserving, and havo been con? ducted in a more satisfactory manner, both to tho public and to tho beneficiaries, than tho Char'eston Orphan House. It has always been regarded with pride by tho community, and baa received tue fos? tering caro of the municipal authorities from tho date of Ita organisation until tho proscnt day. In return for this solicitude tho Orphan Hou'to has each year sent into the world a r.umbai of its in? mates, who have, in nearly every instance, by their untiring industry and application, attained eminence in their business ani social relations. Some of tho grada ites of this House havo bx ;_o distiuguisaed among those whom tho people de? light to honor, yot they havo novar forgotten tno praise das their Alma Mater. Among tho clauses in the bill reported by tho Betrenchment Committee, and which is now an ordmanoe, was that reducing thc annual appropri? ation to the Orphan Houso for tho purposes of ed? ucation. A: the recent mooting of Counoil the Board of Commissioners made their annual report, accompanied by a remonstrance against tho pro? posed reduction. The reports of tho School Com? mittee and that o. tho Board appeared in Satur day's issue, in the proceedings ot the City Cuutiod. IncEe reports are extremely interesting as show? ing tho progress of tho institution; but a fow points are worthy of particular notice. The num? ber of pupils at the dite ot' the last annual report in November, '33, wa3 209-131 boys and 75 girls. Since that time 107 havo been r..lmiuod-68 boys and IA girls. Twenty-two have boon disoharsod ll boys and ll girls. Tho number now on tho reg? ister is 29i-133 boys and 111 girl u and tho weekly attendance r.t the school has bcoa us high as 2??; .he average yearly attendance being 231. Tho expenses of tho school per annum are about S270D, including books and stationery; at.d tha cost or instruction which, fifteen year? ago, was ns nigh as $24 for otoh pupil, has been reduced to 3G. Thia modulation was duo to various 0_USS3, bu; princi? pally to a reduction i i thc expenses of the school, and the employrnen* of tho advance 3 jirls aa re? sistant teachers at a smtul salary. The preamble of the ordinance, establishing tho Orphan Houso in 1790, states that its principal object was the education of thc poor children of the city at a small expense. The;? economical and benevolent views ha^o bisa fully realized, but the result was obtained by affording tho institu? tion every boility, and not by cramping ita re? sources. In his official report tile Chairman cf the Boardhas ad-led his earnest request that '.Le sum heretofore allowed for the purposes o; tho schcol be not diminished.' The behool and thc House are co-ordinate, aud t_9 gratifying pvos perity that naa boan attuned is due t. tiie efforts of the superintendent, and tao ccrp3 cf instruc? tors who havo enforced that oour^a or training whia'h bas enabled their young oharges to nasa through life with credit to themselves aud fae in ?rtituuon. iiiMc'iwwaMaBoaMBHHmMaBnuii Tho Negro a Descendant of Adan AXOIHZJt BEPLY TO "ABIEL-"'-EUV.
