How she tore through the streets, and in her mad, frolic . some way, took liberties with crinoline and | ' -corduroy ! How she lifted hats from the heads ? of sober old gentlemen, and sene them camm pumpulating in wild chase thereafter ! How | ' signs creaked, awnings flapped, and men grumbled at the blinding clouds that threaten-1 1 -ed to turn one's throat into a sand-bar I Verily, yesterday was the most disagreeable day in Miller's Almanac, and, but for the redeeming [ p ; shower of the afternoon, deserved to have its ? obituary notice written in-dust.

The ordinances bearing on this point require every merchant to have their scales, weights and measures of every descrip? tion examined and stamped by the proper offi? cers, under a penalty of $100 for each neglect of this duty. This law is generally known, and | s there are few traders who fail to comply with its provisions. The cases in question were re? ferred to the Board of Market Commissioners, who have charge of tho scale house and stamp? ing office, to inquire into tho charges pre? ferred._ THE THEATRE.-,:The Corsican Brothera" ? and "Bella Sunnyside, the Pretty Horse- J breaker, " last evening drew a full and appre- 1 ciate audience. Mrs. Mary Gladstane played fi the heroine's part in each of fae above repre- a . sentations, and her usual ability, supported by a company well drilled in all the requirements cf the stage, made the performances a success, . Additional attractions will be offered this eve? ning. Saturday night is a popular time. It is the "period" to the paragraph of the week; and . scores find their recreation, after six days' toil, in the light, refreshing enjoyments which it is the aim of Mr. Templeton, the manager, to offer to the Charleston public. To-night is the last appearance of Mrs. Glad? stane, when, by particular request, she will repeat the performance of last night, above alluded to. A large audience may be expected on the occasion as a bumper and farewell. SANTTARr REGULATIONS.-THE CITT ENGI? NEER AND THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT.-During the past summer the greater portion of the sickness was confined to the upper wards, and - one or two cases of bilious fever were reported in those sections where the drainage was in? sufficient to carry off the rain falls. Under -direction of the Mayor thc City Engineer has inaugurated a system of sewerage that will ef? fectually relieve these low grounds from the pools of water that formerly remained until evaporated by the sun. The health officer, Dr. Geo. S. Pelzer, has examined the location and traced tho presence of disease to the de? fective drainage which heretofore existed. It was decided to commence the draiange of this section immediately, and Mr. Barbot has la? borers now employed in digging a ditch that will lead from the low streets and debouch into the marsh inlets. These ditches will have re? vetments of turf or plank, and in the western part of the city will be furnished with a dam and flood-gates, which will more thoroughly drain the streets and carry the offal from the butcher pens. They will form a continuous system of drainage between either river, and the level being uniform, and the grades the same, it will be impossible for water to remain long on the surface. President-street in tho west, and Amherst, Nassau, Columbus and Aiken streets in the east, will be thoroughly drained by these ditches, and the stagnant water that formerly created a miasma in these neighbor? hoods will be remembered but as a thing of the past. The old trunk which formerly drained the streets in the northeastern section of the city, was not on the same level throughout, and tho rain-falls caused pools to collect thatj'could only be removed through evaporation. By thc new plan proposed the ditch or trunk will be the same level throughout, and the water will be allowed to escape by latte?! ditches cut to the marsh. "Neck fever," we hope, will here? after be a myth. REMOVAL OP THE BCTCHET. PEKS.-Mayor Cogswell has decided that the butcher pons must be removed to the banks of the Ashley, or bo stationed near some creek, whero the ebb and flow of the tide will carry the blood and offal to the river. Thc3e butcher pens have been frequently complained of as a nuisance, and the order for their removal from the moro thickly settled portions of the city will bc gratefully received Ly those who have hereto? fore been compelled to oudure the infliction. DEATH OF A>- EX-ABMY OFFICES.-Colonel G. Vf. Cartwright, late of the 28th Massachusetts, died yesterday at the Pavilion HoteL Colonel Cartwright waa a native of Ireland, but was early connected with the United States Army. During the year 1862 he was stationed on James Island, and participated in the battle of Secessionville. He was subsequently ordered to Virginia, and was shot through the lunga at tho battle of tho Wilderness. The wound pro? duced inflammation of the lungs, which ter? minated in consumption. The colonel came South, after the war, for the benefit of his health. He was a resident of this city only a few weeks, yet during that time he made many friends, and was tenderly cared for in bis last illness. His funeral will take place to? day. The body will be sent North to his friends. THE PEESS GANO TAKEN ON THE HALF SHELL.-The quill driving fraternity were last night made the grateful recipients of a hand? some treat from "Mine Host," Louis Kenacke. Bivalves were furnished ad libitum, and the members of the press bade dull care begone, ind, for once in their lives, confined their Attention to such sublunary objects as oysters, lb ey tried them on the half shell, broiled and roasted, and the unanimous verdict, as the last iisappeared, was "Bully for you !" Oysters were, however, not the only tempta? tions with which thc table was garnished. Tarions of the good things of this life were submitted to the same ordeal, and commend ible resolutions passed thereupon. A supper, md especially an oyster feast, is not perfect sithout tho usual concomitant, champagne. The press are not disposed to keep "the hands raiting," and the copy ^rnished by Heidseick k Co. speedily disappeared. Two hours were rpent in an old fashioned jolly way, and the nesting was not dissolved until a full bumper lad been drank to Louis, when the guests :adiv dep arlee! to their usual nocturnal duties.

An individual who thought that he had 'struck ile," and kept a barrel of kerosene on land for sale, found that his expectations were lot realized. He was painfully reminded of he existing ordinances by a fine of $200, and ?ras admonished to reduce the stock on band o the required number of gallons, or his locket would again suffer. Two parties who kept the ardent on their remises, but swore that it was not for sale, rere fined $50 each for trying to fool their cus Dmera. Several parties implicated in the recent rob ery of the South Carolina Railroad were urned over to a magistrate for prosecution. A case of selling liquor without a license revoked the usual fine of $100. A disorderly white man who got np a small D w and endeavored to swindle a colored woman ut of ten cents was fined $25. A ohap who forgot that Sing Cotton was not irtial to smoke, endeavored to puff his cigar 3 Kerr's wharf, but was soon admonished of is mistake by a fine of $5. Two blue coated sons of Mars, who fought jeir old enemy, the bottle, and fell willing vic ms to his wiles, were charged $10 each lor aeir failure to keep their ground.

THE OPZBA IM CHABLBSTOK.-WO have boen ruined, desolated, and mado unhappy in all sorts of ways, yet wo still enjoy retribution. We propose to moko ourselves as happy aB wo can. Templeton has given ns tho theatre, brought to Charleston a suocesaion of artistes who havo drawn audiences that would have done justice to the old city in her palmiost day, and contributed all he knew how to make ns forget the past and remember tho enjoyments of the present. Not content with this, ho now proposes to give to our people a taste of the opera, and for this purpose has effected an en? gagement with the lomoua Gran Troupe, of New York. This company comprises some of the best artists in the United States, and in making their tour they propose to drop their "pearls of song" in this luxurious latitude. The prima donna of the company is Mad'llo Marie Frederic;, sustained by Madlle Clara Lang. The tenor is Franz Him mer, alao an artist of known celebrity; and if with this mu? sical combination snccess is not assured, it will be because the Charleston public are untrue to their former tastes, and have lost their appre? ciation of the rino arts. The opera will remain in Charleston three dayB, commencing on Monday evening next, during which time the gems of Italian and German opera will be rendered for the gratifi? cation of the public. We shall advert more fully to the subject hereafter. Meanwhile let our people prepare their greenbacks. "Those evening bella, those evening bells, How sweet a sound their memory tells ! " Who in our city does not remember the sol? emn curfew that "tolled the knell of parting day ?" It was the signal for the going to bed of the little ones, for the going to church of j their parents, and for the retirement to quar? ters of those we once knew as "servante/ Years have passed, however, einco the familiar chimes have been heard, and they linger in memory only among the associations of the past. Looking into our office encyclopaedia, we find that the curfew was introduced by William the Conqueror as a signal to citizens "to extinguise their fires." And perpetuated as it had been for so many years, it is no won? der that our people, with their old English habits, had become attached to the custom, or that their ears still long to hear the familiar sounds that recall the hours of childhood, the loving caress and paternal "good night/ Hence thousands will be gratified to learn that among the many changes made by Mayor Cogswell, he has ordered that the old bells shall be once more rung at the usual hours of 8 and 10. The flight of time will thus again be marked; our little ones will once more be charmed to slumber by tho tintinabulatione of j the evening chimes, and the bells will again remind us of the old-fashioned dog Latinism in all its ancient force, "Tempusfugues it" NOTICES IN BANKBUPTOY.-Meetings of the creditors of the undermentioned bankrupts, to prove debts and choose assignees, will be held at the office of the "Registrar, Hon.
