CHANGE OP DAY OF SATLTNO.-The nailing day of the eteaL-'?.'. Falcon aas been cnanged from Fri? day to Saturday morning at nine o'clock. Shippers and those interested should take notice. THE LIQVOBS SETZE? from the store of Can: pbell, Knox A Co., Hasel-street, on Friday last, have been restored to them by Colleotor Sawyor, the suspicious circumstances having been cleared up to his satisfaction. Messrs. C., K. A Co. were not in any way implicated. ACQCBTA STREET CABS.-The schooner Union Flag, from New York, brought as a portion of her cargo some of the cara destined for the Augusta Street Railroad. They were discharged at Mar? shall's Wharf, and were driven to tbe South Caro? lina Railroad depot yesterday morning. BOOK SALIS.-The book sales of iSasrs. Leitch & Bruns and Messrs. Wardlaw & Carew attracted nome attention yesterday, and notwithstanding the disagreeable aspect of the weather, there were a number of persons present, and the books sold at a fair price for the present time. The sales will be continued to-day, and as the catalogues embrace a number of rare and valuable works, the oppor turiity to enrich private libraries should not be ne? glected. RIAL ESTATE SALES-IN EQUITY.-Mr. James L. Gantt sold yesterday, for Mr. James Tupper, Mas? ter in Equity, a houso and lot on the South side of Bedufain-street, 23 feet 6 Inches front by 100 feet deep, for $1,175. At the same time Mr. Gantt sold, for Master J. W. Gray, a plantation on Capers' Island, Christ Church Parish, containing 400 acres for $2000. In each instance one-third cash, the balance in one ard two year instalments. AN EXODOS.-Twenty prisoners, of different colors, classes and conditions, who are serving their country for that country's good, will take a pleasant trip to-day to the suburban retreat near Columbia, prepared for them by the State Govern? ment. This will free the jail of some of its in? mates, and they will bo no longer allowed to eat the bread of idleness, but will be obliged to work for their living. The time to be spent in the peni? tentiary is looked upon with horror by all prison? ers, and the certainty of this punishment may tend to deter mary from violating thc laws. HAYNE-STBJEET ACCESSIONS.-The popularity of Hayne-street as a business thoroughfare bas never been lost, and though it has felt the result of the war, it is fast recovering ?rom,its depression. The stores that were so long tenantless are being occu? pied, and the wholesale merchants aro making active preparations for the Spring campaign. Among the changes that have taken place is the opening of a Mercantile Agency by Messrs. R. G. Dunn A Co., at No. 5, while the cleaning and re? pairing of other stores are sure signs that their shelves will not long remain empty. The stores formerly occupied by Messrs. Jno. Ashhurst A Co., and Harral, Stevenson A Co., as wholesalo drug bouses, are now being fitted up for tho reception of Messrs. Edw. Daly A Co. and Messrs. Lengnick A Sell. These gentlemen are so well known that their oustomers will have no difficulty in tracing them to their new locations, and the difference in the rents will be quite a consideration in these tight times. TH* JAIL.-The reoent escape from the jail in? duced the Commissioners of Public Buildings to lock after their stronghold and devise ways and means that would effectually separate tho unruly portion of the community from the outer world. The gates, though of wood, are still quite strong, and can stand the attacks of time for some years; but it was considered necessary to have them sc? oured in such a manner as to prevent any egress on the part of evil disposed prisoners. The low state of their funds has heretofore prevented the commissioners from obtaining a burglar-proof look, and, the same dirncuity remaining, it was de? cided to givo the gate a double fastening, one lock on either side. This will necessitate some extra labor on the part of the jailor, but will prevent any future escapes being made in that direction. The hasps and ?tapies to be used were made by Mr. Richardson of wrought "iron, and have been riveted to an iron plate attached to the gate. The padlocks are the best known, and hereafter thoso prisoners who look at the gate will despair of ever inckirg their exit through the lock?, bolts and bars that secure it. AN INCENDIARY ATTEMPT. - At four o'clock yesterday morning the alarm of fire was given by a policeman, who saw smoke issuing fi om thc open? ing ovf r the doorway of a store on the West side of Hiag-street, near Liberty, occupied by John Madden as a dry goods and clothing store. The firemen were soon on the spot, and the door being broken open, tho fire was discovered among the shelves on the South side of tho building,and a light was also seen through an augur hole in the floor. On ripping up the floor a becket containing splin? tered lightwood was found under the hole. As there was no cellar to tne building it was evident that the bucket had been placed in its position only by removing the fiocr, and on searching a place was found where the boards had be.a ripped up and replaced, one of them being split. The lightwood was of tho same description as some found in the house, and the bucket was said to be the food bucket of the cow. Fortunately very lit? tle damage was done to either building or stock, and $50 would cover tho entire loss. The house belonged to the estate of Barrett, and the stock of goods was Insured for $3000 at Mr. S. Y. TurT>er'a agencies. Madden and his wife slept on the samt floor, in the rear of the store, and claimed to be aroused when the alarm was given, but the cir? cumstantial evidence was so strong that they were arrested on suspicion of having set the fire. A JUST TRIBUTE TO MERIT.-It will be remem? bered that on the 25th of October a fire was dis? covered at the corner of Maxyck and Eeaufaiti streets, and the incendiary arrested by policeman Cahill, who was shot in the arm while efle^ting the arrest. Tho meritorious conduct of Policeman Cahill was reported to the Insurance Companies, and Justly considering that the action of the po? liceman in making the arrest and bringing a villain to justice would prevent parties from Bet? ting fires, tho Home Insurance Company, in which the building was insured, and the Charles? ton Board ot Underwriter!', united in making Cahill a presont of fifty dollars each. Cahill is again on duty, having recently recovered from his wound, and tho letter containing the announce? ment was read to him in the presence of the force yesterday evening. It is, perhaps, the first in? stance of the kind in this city, and the conduct of Cahill, and the api reciation of his course by the public, will be a stimulus to his companions to bo more vigilant than ever, and to let no criminal es? cape them. We append the letter from tho Presi? dent of the Board of Underwriters : CHARLESTON, December 11th, 18t)7. To \he Hon. P. C. Gaillard, Mayor of the City of Chai letton : On the night of the 25th of October last, Pri? vateCahiU, of the Police Department, at tho risk of his hie, caused the arrest of an incendian- who had just fired the premises at the Southeast cor? ner of Mazyck and Beaufain streets. The perse? verance of the policeman in this instance on con? tinuing the pursuit, even after he bad boen shot, and thus preventing tho incendiarv's escape, is ooiriidered a very commendable act; and, as we understand, that PrivateCahill was disabled in tho encounter, I have been instructed bv the Homo Jnturance Company ot New Haven, winch insured th'> building tbat was fired, to present to him, wi ?your sanction, the sum of $50. Thc Charles? ton Board of Underwriters have also directed me to present in the saine manner to Policeman Ca? hill alike amount of $50, asa mark of their ap? preciation of his meritorious conduct. You will find herein enclosed a check for $100, which, if you approve ot our action, you will pleaso present, in the narao of the above mention? ed donors, to Policeman Cahill. I am, most respect fully, Your obedient servant. ^ WILLIAM B>^ OT. Agent Homo Insurance Compara"^ Haven, and President ol the Boards^ -iters. THE TEST OATH_John H. Honour, Esq., wa? recently ?le^toi by tho Mayor and Aldermen ol Charleston to tho office of City Assessor. A re quisition was made upon him to qualify for bis po? sition by talons: the teat oath, which ho declined to do. Tho office was therefore declared vacant, and, on Wednesday night, at an extra meeting ol Council, Mr. Wm. N. Hughes was recommended to General Cauby for appointment to the position. KIOT AT SOCIETY HILL.-About fifty armed ne? groes, a few days ago, wo leam, passed through the streets of Society Hill, dring guus and other? wise breaking tho public peate. Information he? ine: lodged with the military, five of the ringlead? ers were arrested, and tho matter is now under? going investigation. These riots arc becoming lommou everywhere, and, wc fear, it is only the beginning of the end. As it was one of the special objects of the Military Reconstruction acts to fur? nish, governments to the "Rebel" States, wo hope the powers that be will see to it that the first office of a good government is performed-thal petce is kept, order preserved, and life and prop? erty properly secured. MOUE BURN-INO.- A gentlomau, yesterday from Darlington, informs us that Mr. James Bell's gin house, in the suburbs of Darlington C. H., was robbed, about 6 o'clock yesterday morning, and afbrwards burned-clearly the work of an incendi? ary. This is thc third fire of this character in and around that village within the past fivo days ; in every inpta'ice the work of incendiaries, prompted, it is thought, partly by malice and partly by a desire of plunder. The gaiTi80u heretofore stationed at Darlington has been ordered off, to tho detriment, it is feared, of the public peace. So fully are the citizens of that section impressed with the fact, and with the impending crisis, that tho town Counoil of Dar? lington has sent a petition to General Canby, ask? ing him to withdraw his order, and permit the gar? rison to remain. BOREAS ON A BBEEZE_The mild weather of the I past two days was suddenly changed by tho ! thunder storm into a blustering and disagreeable day. Yesterday afternoon was clear, but tho wind wt.? up and ripe for mischief-hats were seized ruthlessly from the heads of the unwary and rat? tled disdainfully .brough the mud; parasols and umbrellas stood nt? better ohacce, and were w?-?sted from the hand and turned wrongside out in a twinkling. By night old Boreas had fairly worked himself into a passion, and howled around the corners of the street, and blew the smoko down the chimneys in a disreputable manner. It is not known if any damago was done in his frolic; but there are sunbry old trees in tho city that need but tho strong breath of Winter to prostrate them. Fences, trees, shingles and such small matters are but as the chaff before the wind that blew last night; and though tornadoes are not incidental to this climate, it would not be surprising if this morning some houses had more of the daylight visible through the roofs than is pleasant to the inmates. COLUMBIA AND AUGUSTA RATLBOAD.-An excur? sion train was run to the terminus of this road, on Wednesday afternoon, and ample time allowed the passengers to thoroughly examine the whole bridge, as well as tho general modus operandi of railroad building. The Pheonix says the track? layers have reached a point a little more than fou miles on the Lexington side of the river, and it is thought that within the next two months, tho snort ot tho iron horto will announce to tho quiet in? habitants of the village of Lexington that a bona fide railroad train is actually making its way through that District. The bridge over the Con garee is deserving of moro than a passing notice, as it is truly a skilful piece of workmanship. It is an "Undergrade Fink suspension truss," total length of 1010 feet, in ten spans, single track road way; depth of truss 21 feet; all compression strains in cast iron; all tensile strains in wrought iron; pier towers in tripod form of wrought iron, capacity 2000 pounds per lineal foot of road way, and equal to passing over with safety a train com? posed of fifty locomotive engines, averaging twenty tons each. Cost of structure about $90,000. THE CHRISTMAS THEE at Commins' Hall was unveiled last night. We visited the scene late in the evening, and were at once carried back to the days of our childhood, when trees were twice as green, and four times as tall as any wc see now. The first attraction was the transparency "Christ? mas Xreo" in front of the Hall, which suited the occasion to a T, inviting all passers by to tho. festive court of CbriBtki adel. The next attraction that allured us was the Sixth Iufautry Band, which discoursed sweetest strains, and much enliven? ed tho evening. Wo proceeded, went up stairs, and there met a perfect bevy of attractions-thc wholo hall a blaze of light and enchantment beautiful young lad.es, in the most bewitch? ing smilos, asking, "Won't you take a chanoe?'* We saw tho wheel of fortune, we saw grab-bags, beautiful tables, set out in brilliant array; orange trees full of fruit, and the great, tho splendid Christmas tree m the contre, tho cynosure of all eyes. "Jacob's Well ' is a splendid reproduction of that famous Oriental institution, and in itself worth going to soe. Everybody, it should bo re membarcd, who pays the entrance fee of twenty five cent 3, draws a prize. The ladies of St. Paul's Church merit the highest praise for the handsome and tasteful manner in which everything is ar? ranged. The pleasant faco of Father Shadier was not wanting to help on tho good causo. Lot every one go to-night. HOTEL ARKTVALS.-Pavv.ion Hotel.-E. G. Ni? chols, Beaufort; C. C. Perry, B. F.

Rutledge & i'jung for defendant, Case continue^!, ESTBEB DAYS.-These days are periodical fasts originally instituted, it is said, by Popo Calextus in tho third century, for the purpose of imploring tho blessing of Heavou cu tho produco of the earth, and of preparing tho clorg-y for ordination, in imitation ol tho apostolic practice. ID 1095, the 13th of Dc-cembor, St. Lucy's day was consti? tuted one of thc Ember days. The origin of the term is doubtful; some attributing it to tb o Saxon word embren, signifying a circuit, and showing the regularity in which these days fullowod each oiher; others derivo the epithet from tho practice of j sprinkling dust or embers on tho head in tokon of j humiliation. In accordanoo with a canon in thc Episcopal Church, the ordination of clergymen by tho Bishop generally takes place on the respective Sundays immediately following these Ember Oays. These days aro the first Wednesday, Friday and Saturday following the first Sunday in Lent-Whit sunday (the 14th of September} and St. Lucy's day (the 13th of December).
