THE NEW YORK AND SOUTH CAROLINA
?STEAMSHIP COMPANY.-In our advertising col
amns will be found the announcement of the pro?
posed sailing on the 13th instant, from New York,
of the splendid new iron side-wheel steamship
South Carolina, of the new steam line recently
organized with the view of affording Increased
facilities for shlpp- rs and the travelling public
between Charleston and New York. In all re?
spects these commodious and substantially con?
structed vessels serve Charleston a useful purpose
ut this time, in the freight facilities which their
presence lnsnres to oar port; in the elegant cabin
acoommadotions which they pr. sent to the trav?
elling public; and above all, lu the lesson taught
by their model and bu lui, which gives the im
t??nsc carriage capacity of 2700 bales cotton on a
draft of from ten te eleven feet, forever dispos?
ing of the doubts and anxieties that have pre?
vailed on thc deep water question, and suggest?
ing forcibly *o aU, the views we expressed some
weeks since that it would be more economical to
construct vessels adapted to the trade of existing
ports than to attempt the founding of new sea?
ports to snit old and ill-constructed ships. One
ls a practicable measure, available to us now; the
other discounts the future, and will be as costly
as chimerical. The Tennessee and Sonth Carolina
arc largely owned herc and in Georgia, and this
public-spirited enterprise commends itself to the
business communities of Charleston and the
Southwest, as worthy of liberal support. We sin?
cerely trust*that the new line, which offers so
powerful a support to the business public, will
prove remunerative as an investment to the own?
ers. Messrs. Wagner, Huger A Co. and Messrs.
Courtenay A Trenholm will manage these freight
leviathans.

SPECIAL MEETING OF THE ??ITT
COUNCIL.
Present-the Mayor; Aldermen Geddings,
Cunningham. Collins, Barrow. Voigt, Holloway,
Brown, E. P. Wall, L. F. Wall, noward. Small.
The meering was called to order at 8 o'clock,
one hour after it was summoned, and it then
needed several raps of thc gavel to induce the
Aldermen to leave thc Mayor's chamber.
Thc Mayor stated that the meeting wa3 called
specially to consider the License bill.
The returns of thc Harbormaster and City
Sheriff from the loth of December to the 1st of
January, showing respectively S?469S and*$289,207
were received as information.
Thc bill was theu taken up by sections at its
second reading.
The flrst section was read, when Alderman E.
P. Wall moved to amend as follow: "Any per?
son, persons or corporation taking a license, lt
shall be on the condition precedent that In the
conduct or management of such business, pur?
suit, or calling, no distinction shall bc made on
account of race or color, between visitors or per?
sons applying for the privilege or benefits of thc
business or establishment. And any violation of
this provision by the proprietor, or manager, or
employee, shall forfeit the license. And it shall
be tho duty of the police promptly to report to
the Mayor auy violation coming to their knowl?
edge, wh J Miall declare the license forfeited, and
impose such other fine as in his opinion thc na?
ture of the case deserves, half of incline to go to
the informer, and thc other half paid Into thc
j city treasury." x
The yeas and nays were called for and resulted
as follows: Yeas-Barrow, Brown, Holloway, L.
F. Wall and E. P. Wall. Nays-Collins, Cunning?
ham, Geddings, Howard, SmaU, Voigt and the
Mayor.
The Mayor, li explaining his vote, said that he
took the same view as had been expressed by the
City Attorney-that the State had enacted a law
whereby all parties could obtain redress; and
though thc amendment proposed met with his
hearty support, it would, if passed, be impera?
tive. The biir before them was one simply to
raise supplies, and he would vote nay.
During the call Alderman Howard hesitated
somewhat, but gave aa emphatic no. Alderman
Small also voted no promptly, and in reply to a
remonstrance of E. P. Wall, who exclaimed "Et
tu Brute," said he wanted to leave lt to the
courts.
The first section was then passed-the two Walls
voting no.
The second section was then taken up and
passed.
Alderman E. P. Wall moved an Indefinite post?
ponement, which was lost.
The third section was also passed, Alderman E.
P. Wall moving to lay the section on the table,
but received no second.
Sections four, live and six were then passed
with some amendments.
Alderman Voigt moved that section seven be
considered separately as regards the different
branches of business, which was carried.
Colonel Hay ne who was present, said that he
understood from the action of CouncU on the pro?
ceeding meeting, that he had been allowed the
rieht to represent a certain class of the commu?
nity, who felt aggrieved at the sweeping features
of the bill relating to them. He disclaimed any at?
tempt at d ic t at i on, bu t said that it was an old axiom
that there could bc no taxation without
representation, and the taxpaying citizen
should hare an opportunity to represent
to the lawgivers wherein they felt that
they had been unequally dealt with. Thc
brokers as a class knew their grievances better
than the framers of the bill, and he was present
to represent them as succinctly as possible. He
then reviewed the different points In the bill bear?
ing on the brokers, and chowed that the taxation
on each branch of that business when Imposed
on one person was \ burden too heavily to be
borne. He suggested several changes that would
not materially reduce the revenne, but would
lessen the Invidious distinction that the brokers
had boen dealt with.
During Mr. Hayne's remarks, Alderman Barrow
left the chamber, but soon returned somewhat
flushed, and, interrupting the speaker, said that
Council had met to frame a bill, and he moved
that they do so or adjourn.
Alderman E. P. Wall said that Colonel Hayne
had been granted'full permission to address
CouncU without Umiting him to one subject, and
they were in honor bound to hear him.
Alderuian Barrow said that lt was not requisite
for tho community to Interfere In the business of
Council. When the bill was ratified and engrossed,
lt was then time for those who were aggrieved to
present their complaints.
Alderman Small moved that Colonel Hayne be
heard, and, as no one seconded the motion of Al?
derman Barrow, that irate individual, with a
'oreed calmness that .rat almost sublime, gather?
ed up his papers, placed his spectacles firmly ou
his nose, and propelled 'dmself from the cham?
ber in high dudgeon, ana did not return until
Colonel Hayne had concluded hts remarks.
After a variety of motions, it was decided to
resume the consideration of Section 7 by items,
and th? various branches of business were then
taken up and considered separately. The bill, as
amended, ls as follows:

journment, at a quarter to 2 o'clock.
A special meeting will be called on Thursday
evening to ratify the bill.
Tint ACADEMY OF MUSIC-MR. "WARNER'S
RICHELIEU.-Charleston lost evening witnessed
another most gratifying triumph of thc legiti?
mate drama. A full though not a crowded house
greeted Lord Ly t ton's play of Richelieu; and again
Mr. Warner, as before, with the subtle passion of
the royal Dane, so now beneath thc proud old
Cardinal's Imperious will, held the eager au?
dience spell-bound. The curiously contrasted
qualities which went to make np this famous
man-the sagaoious, resolute, far-seeing states?
man treading close upon the heels of the vain,
credulous verse-maker and would-be gallant
the omnipotent minister turning from a cabal
to a saraband, and from the darkest passion J
or political intrigue to bow with a sooth sayer
before thejnandate of the stars; the relentless,
vindictive, unscrupulous dispenser of supreme
power, blending with his fiercest impulse a sub?
tle Irony, and deceiving himself with confident so?
phistries which, in another, would only have
evoked lils contemptuous pity-yet, alike in hts
circngth and his weakness, true to the master pas?
sion or his love ror France and France's glory and
prosperity, all these complex elements make the
character or Armand Richelieu one or the most
fascinating as well as thc most dlftlcnlt In the
repertory of the Btagc.
And Mr. Warner's conception and presentation
af these opposing yet consistent moods or passion
was no mean triumph. Again jmd again tho ap?
plause or his hearers testified to his power, and,
it the close or the fourth act, he was called before
the curtain to receive the tribute or their admira?
tion.
We are sorry that we cannot accord the same
measure or approval to all the other characters or
the play. Mr. Warner was very reebly supported.
Miss Alexander's rendering or Julie de Mortcmar
was truthful and spirited, and In the crisis of her
role she was all that could be wished. Mr. Wood's
Oe Berlnghen was well acted, and Mr. O'Neil was
tolerably successful as Adrien de Mauprat. Miss
Eldridge as the page Francois had little to do
except to look oharmlng and piquant, and she
did that to perfection. But the rest or the com?
pany were scarcely equal to their parts. Mr.
Read (De Barradas) would have profited by a
better knowledge of his very Important role;
and Mr. Knapp as Louis was weaker even than
his weak prototype. Mr. Parker's Joseph was
not equal to his Polonlus, and Mr. Ryan ls a bet?
ter comedian than bravo.
The length or tho play as originally written
necessitates great curtailment in its presentation
on the stage. Tue whole or the long soliloquy
which opens the third act was omitted last night,
somewhat to the detriment or thc harmony or the
characters as conceived by ike author. The ef?
fect of thc omissions is to place Richelieu In a
more amiable light than he perhaps deserves, and
to suppress that shadowing forth of his more sin?
ister motives and his fleroer qualities, which ls at?
tempted lu the written play. Thus thc character
takes a degree of credit due only to the situation.
To judge the author's conception ol Richelieu
fairly, and to estimate how far it Is consistent
with historical truth, the play must be read.
To-night, we are t e have Shakespeare's Mer?
chant of Venice, with a laughable afterpiece.

To the Editors of the Nineteenth Century :
GENTLEMEN-My attention having been
called to an article In your January number, by
which I am advised, Tor the first time, that my
name has been affixed as a correspondent to
a book, recently Issued from the press in Boston,
'Cotton Culture and thc South considered with
