M. AN EXCELLENT STOCK COMPANY.-It ls the unanimous verdict cfall who attend the Acade? my of Music that the stock company now sup? porting Mr. Warner ls not only thc best that lia3 been gathered together lu any Southern theatre tor years, but that it will compare most favorably with tho strongest companies to be lound on the Metropolitan stage. The writer of this paragraph, a fort nigh*, ago, saw the tragedy or Hamlet, as produced at Booth's splendid theatre in New York; and though thc 6ceuery and costumes were or that superb character that only a run ot a single play through many weeks could justify, the conviction rorced itself upon his mind, that the support given to Mr. Booth by thc other characters In thc cast was ia no respect better, and In some particulars decidedly more weak, than that received by Mr. Warner, in the same play, from the company we now have with us. The company go.'s to Savannah at the close of the present week, so that there will be but three more chances for our people to see lt. RAILROAD MATTERS IN GEORGIA.-Tho Au? gusta Constitutionalist says: "Meetings of Ute .directors of the Augusta and Hartwell and Barn? well Railroad Companies were held in this city on Monday.

The Chronicle states that thc Georgia Railroad Company have decided to postpone action upon thc proposal to lease the Port Royal Railroad un? til next May, when lt wilt be placed berore the stockholders or thc company, who will meet there in convention during that month. Loss or THE SCHOONER ELIZA PIKE.-The schooner Eliza Pike, Captain Larkin, which was cleared rrom this port on thc 3d instant, fer Phil? adelphia, by Messrs. J. ft T.

JUSTICE WITH A YES GEA WOE. - ^ Jlew ?hs Negro Magistrate Logan Con? ducts Himself in Christ O li ii ix ix Par? ish-Tho Latest Iustance of his Bru? tality. In September last there waa published In TUB NEWS a somewhat extended account, of Mic outrageous proceedings or one Aaron Logan, a ucgromagistrate In Christchurch Purish, who, in the days of m ill ts ry rule had been a notorious fomenter of riots, and had even served a term at Fort Macon, breaking stones as a punishment for his turbulence and disregard of law. This fel? low, being, In nomo sort, a leader among thc black*, was of course made the recipient of a magistrate's commission at the hands of our mo? del Executive; and although thc grossest abuse or his petty authority, thc most unbearable in? solence and thc most brntal tyranny were pub? licly charged against him by gentlemen of thc highest character, including several citizens from thc North who had recently becomo resident.!? of our State, the crimes laid to lils charge were never even investigated, much less punished. A fresh instance of the kind orjnstice adminis? tered by this specimen Radical official has just been brought to our notice, lt seems that some trifling complaint was lodged with tho black magistrate, by a negro named Pollardo, against Mr. John Ferabee, who plants near tho Klftcen milo Rouse, on the Georgetown road. That gen? tleman was accordingly arrested under the fol? lowing circumstances : On the evening ortho 2">th ult., a negro constable named Ball, who ls In Lo? gan's employ, appeared un Mr. Fcrabec's place, and, exhibiting a writ, arrested him in thc name ot thc State. Nr. Pcrabcc urged that he had been qui'e sick for two days, and was not in a fit con diiion to venture ont that evening, and he asked that the matter might be delayed until morning. This being refused, he ordered his horse, when thc black constable informed him that he would have to walk unions he would furnish transporta? tion so that both could ride. Mr. Fcrabec's buggy was accordingly got ready, and they started. Thc night wa3 dark and rainy, ami thc mud in many places was np to thc axles. On their way they were obliged to cross a canal, which was 60 swollen that the horse was rorced to swim, and both constable and prisoner, leaping from their con veranee, kept themselves afloat by holding on to the boggy. They finally arrived at Logan's about ll o'clock at night, when the prisoner was coolly Informed by that functionary that he could go home, as he would not bc wanted until another ?time. Mr. Fcrabco remonstrated against the treatment he had received, and asked fur quar? ters until morning, us he waa utterly unable again to race thc in dement night. Ila was ac? cordingly altu'.ved to remain in a miserable apart? ment, without Ure or other comfort, until day? break, when he mad j the best of his way home. On the following Thursday, Mr. Feral ice was again ordered berure Logan, when he waived an examination and gave bond for his appearance in court to answer any charges. An aggravating circumstance of the case is to be found In the Tact that thc negro, who. In thc flrst Instance, had sued out tho writ against Mr. Kerabeo, hail repeatedly been thc recipient of his bounty, and is at this time considerably in his debt for money und provisions advanced him. The facts above related can bc vouched for by several of the most respectable residents of thc parish. TUB PALMBTTO ZINC AND COLOR WORKS. This is a new enterprise commenced by Messru. Holmes ? Calder, about three months since, and put in operation for thc first Hmo yesterday. The works ure located ia Cumberland street opposite thc coal yard of Messrs. H. F. Baker A Co., and arc in a large building formerly used as a coop? er's workshop. Thc increasing demand for white leads, paints and colors, lndoced Messrs. Holmes A Calder to establish a factory of their own, where better material could be furnished and at better prices than that obtained from the North. The present works aro larger than any south or Philadelphia, and arc put up In a superior man? ner, the englue and machinery being made by ? Messrs. John F. Taylor A Co., at thc Pheonix Iron i Works of this city. The process of making whitelead ls commenced In the upper story or the building, where the crude lead and linseed oil of the purest quality arc put In a huge retort and thoroughly mixed by revolv? ing knives. Zinc ls treated In thc same manner, and the moss ls then taken by a flue to the grind? ing mills, on thc lower floor, where it is subjected to the closing manipulation that produces the white lead of commerce. Amachine for mixing am: manufacturing putty ls also on the lower floor, together with mills for grindiug different colors, both coarse and flue. Tuc while lead mills are or tine French burr stone, thirty inches in diameter. At the present capacity four tons or ] white lead can bc produced per day, and two tons or putty, besides colors in proportion. All the tinware used ls made in the establish? ment. The hoistlug la done by steam, thc weight of the packages used would tax thc strength too much. ( Ten persons are now employed In the establish meut, and thc work that ls turned out is conced? ed by competent Judges to bc better than Hom Northern factories. The demand for while lead ' and other material or the character furnished by Messrs. Holmes A Calder ls constantly increasing, and tho Palmetto Works, though a new enter- J prise, cannot fail to bc a success. CODRT or GENERAL SESSIONS AKD COMMON I PLEAS-HON. R. B.

Pair to ba hold at tho Wash? ington I tuc a Cou.-.?3 In november ?text? In pursuance- of tho oall made by tho board of directors, a meeting or thc South Carolina In? stitute was held at the Market Rall last night, for thc purpose of considering the propriety of re? viving tho old South Carolina institute fairs. Hie meeting was organised by calling William M. Lawton, Esq., thc president of thc Institute, to the chair, and requesting Gcncrul W. G. Dc Saussure to act as secretary. On laking his scat, the chairman made thc following remarks: Gentlemen ami Members of inp institu?s-Thc board of directors of yonr institute being duly impressed with tho importance of a more thorough development ol thc agricultural re? sources of the State, and to encourage manufac? turing and inechauical arts and industry gene? rally, have resolved io hold a fair in this etty, to he opened to visitors on thc 16th of November next, and continued for several days. To this cud the Institute was organized twenty one years ago, ami incorpor ited hy thc Legisla? ture willi a perpetual charter, so long ns thc asso? ciation continued to promote the objects set forth, and thereby stimulate thc wollare of the commonwealth by holding fairs, .tc, Ac. Tue distribution of premiums, us awards of merit for thc largest yield of staple or Heid crops of tho South, and excellence in thc varied brauchen of manufactures and mechanism, as also for thc Quasi animals and all specimens of iiigi-uiiiiy und thrift, have been fouud the highest Incentives to material progress. Contemplating this laudable object, and desir? ing to in-pirc a generous emulation among our people, the co-operation und ay m pa thy tn behalf . .f the efforts of the Institute is solicited from all quarters. Your counsel and cheerful encouragement, will Infuse energy and spirit among those who are striving und giving their time to promote thc wel? fare of all classes. Thc chairman then proceeded to show how snc oessrul a fair Iud been held lu Columbia without uny money to commence with, and how before ibo war the Institute had always been enabled to pay its expenses by thc proceeds of thc fairs, and lu: thou i tu ibo same thing could bc done again. Tits eliuirmau then stated that lt had been re? solved by Hie board of directors to Invite the co? operation of tho Jocky Club and the Charleston County Agricultural and Horticultural Society, In the mjvemeut Tor holding a fair, and said that, If any delegation was present from those bodies, he would bc happy to hear from them. Major Varden, oa behalf of thc Charleston County Agricultural and Horticultural Society pledged their hearty co-operation. The chairman stated for the information of persons, not mem? bers of thc institute who might bc present, that before thc war tho Bociety numbered about 200 life members and 1000 annual members, but that all the papers had been lost when tho hall was burnt, but all life members could still claim thc privilege, aud others could become life members on payment of $10, or annual members on pay? ment of $2. Colonel u. F. Evans stated that he had visited both tho South Carolina State Fair at Columbia and the Georgia State Fair at Macon, in Novem? ber lust, and said that he was satisfied that if thc merchants and other business men of Charleston would realize the practical benefit a large fair would be to the city, they would at once set to work with all their energy to promote that ob? ject. Rc said that at thc fair In Macon, there were sometimes as many as 20,000 people on the fairgrounds at one time, and that not only was every vehicle of every description pressed Into service to convey the people to and from thc fair grounds, but that two trains of cars, of twenty cars each, were run every half hour, and they were always so packed as to endanger life and limb. Thc benefits to bc derived from such an assemblage of citizens, not only to tho city, but to thc State, would suggest themselves at once to every thinking man. General W. G. DcSanssure then offered the fol lowing resolution: Resolved, That the mcmhers of the South Car? olina Institute approve of thc determination of ihe board of directors to hold a fair In Charleston an thc 15th of November next, and will concur with and sid the hoard In all thesteps necessary for thc accomplishment of such purpose. in support of the resolution General DcSaus sure made a lengthy and effective speech, setting forth the resources of the society and thc mo? tives that Induced the board to come to the deter? mination, In which they now asked the concur? rence of the society at large. Thc board had la? bored earnestly for two years to resuscitate thc society, and are now determined to make one grand effort, which, if lt failed, lt would be because there was not life enough ia the community to sustain them. There were three great objects to bc sought arteria planning a great fair. 1st. A large area where ploughing matches, and other trials or skill requiring much room, conld take place. 2d. stables to Bheltcr horses and cattle. 3d. Large and substantial buildings to hold articles put on exhibition. Thc two first had been kindly put within the reach or thc Institute by thc Jockey Club, who had consented to (.How them thc aye ol thc Washington Race Course, and stables thereon, iud thc third he thought was within thc means ~iX thc society, which, he believed, could raise $8000 on Us property, quite enough to put up good buildings. For premiums and other transient ex? penses, he thought lt was sure to depend on the liberality or thc community and the proceeds ol I lie fair. Ile estimated that the whole expenses if thc fair, first and last, on a liberal scale, woald be about $15,000, and the experience or other fairs showed that more than that som would bc real? ized rrom it. Thc South Carolina Agricultural \an Mechanical Society had a surplus rrom their last fair of about $ :coo, and thc Georgia society Had a surplus or over $20,000. This society aimed it nosurplus, but merely wished to pay expenses, laying out all thc money lt received for thc benefit 3f the pcoplo at large. The resolution was then put and unanimously ?arried. Hon. W. D. Porter congratulated the society on Hie adoption or the resolution, as it rendered the lidding ot a rair on Washington Race Course, next November, a Axed fact, lt was a pleasant thing lo contemplate. His heart thrilled with emotion on every occasion like the present, when lie was called on to meet again thc old familiar faces he had all his life been accustomed to seo when engaged In any effort for the good or his native city and State, and the fair which they con? templated was but another such reunion, only on a larger seale. Thc Columbia and Macon fairs were successful, because men were glad to seize an op? portunity of meeting their old friends once more and discussing with them thc great events which had occurred since they had met before, and to shake hands with those who carried their hearts In their hands. Our rair would be successful for the same reason. Our people are anxious to sec each other. In conclusion, Mr. Porter said that he hud ticen irresistibly Impelled to make these remarks, which had no direct bearing on thc re solution which he hud to offer, but would never? theless indirectly Illustrate the motive which led him to make lt. He then Introduced the following resolutlou : Rosoitwit. That the president or the South Caro? lina Instituto tie requeestd to Invite delegations Iroin thc various county agricultural and me? chanical societies, and immigrai ion societies throughout the S ate, to assemble in Charleston on the llrst Tuesday In May next, to take Into consideration theques'lonsof labor and Immigra? tion, und means for the rurther development of thc agricultural iutcrests of thc State. Thc object of appointing the first Tuesday In May for the convention ls to make lt convenient and cheap tor thc delegates, as an adjourned meeting or thc stockholders of the South Carolina Railroad Company will bc held on that day, and the fare will be reduced. Colonel J. D. Aiken spoke m support of the reso? lution, and snid that if any doubts had hitherto been reit about the success or thc fair, they must now vanish. For hlmseir, he could never think or lt except as a great success. He thought that, without nny exaggeration, at least thirty thous? and strangers might bc expected to attend. In thc immediate neighborhood or thc great City or New York, where not one man in a thousand knew or a rair going on, he had seen a large one that was crowded for thirty days, and that hun? dreds ol'thc exhibitors had asked him whether there was any opportunity for them to show and sell their wares at the South. The benefits, direct and indirect, to be derived rrom a great rair, not only to the farmers and planters, but *? meohan les, merchants and others, could not b9 calcn latod. Tho resolution was then pat, and carried with? out opposition. Mr. John Camp?en oalled the attention of the meeting to the objects of thc South Carolina Ger? man Immigration Society, of which he is presi? dent, and a number of those present added their names to the roll of members. At thc rennest of Mr. Lawton, Mr. Kirkwood occupied thc chair for a few moments, while Mr. L. spoke earnestly and pointedly In explanation and support of thfi objects of the meeting. In thc course of his remarks, Mr. L. took occasion to pay a high compliment to Rev. Mr. Boincst, the energetic president of the Newberry Immigration Society. Thc chairman then resumed his scat, and, on motion, the following committee was appointed to make arrangements for tho convention to be held In November: MnjorW. G. Varden, Captain J. T. Welsman. James Murdoch, Esq., C. C. Trurabo, Esq., G. il. Moffatt, Esq. On motion of Joseph Walker, Esq., lt was Resolves, That a committee of three should be appointed to arrange with thc Charleston County Agricultural und Horticultural Society the details ?i ' co-operation. On motion, the meeting then adjourned. STATU BONDS.-Thc New York market for South Carolina bonds is overstocked, and the holders or large lots arc growing uneasy. Mil? lions or them are stowed away ag collateral, and arc unloaded as thc market shows the least elas? ticity, lt is expected that the "sinking rund" bill will give the bonds another hoist. TUR PARLOR ENTERTAINMENT-Tho Hiber? nian Hall was largely attended last night, and the performance presented by thc Taylor A Sil? vester Combination Troupe was cvory whit what had been promised to the public. Taylor, as a comedian, was a perfect success. The hugo post? ers on the street corners that have astonished thc natives were outdone, and his Impersonations were admirable. Pi'ofo33or Silvester proved hira scir to be a thorongh adept In the black art. und the Illusions, sleight-of-hand, Ao., were superior to those attempted by most modern necromancers. Thc ladies of thc troupe, M'llc. Marie and Miss Ada Alexander, were thc stars, and their acting gave au Increased zest to the performance. Thc troupe will repeat thc performance, with varia? tions, to-night._^_ AKOTUSR SHOT AT THIS SOOTH CAROLINA BAn, KOA? SOMPANY.-It will be seen by our Columbia telegrams that a resolution has been Introduced in thc Senate requiring tho Attorney-Oeneral to bring suit against the Soath Carolina Railroad Company for violating sealion 30 or thc act to in? corporate the Cincinnati and Charleston Railroad Company, passed in 1535. That section ls as fol? lows : SECTION 20. Tltat the said oompany shall have the excludive right, of transportation or convey? ance or persons, goods, merchandise and pro? duce, over thc said railroad and Its branches, by them to bs constructed: Provided, that the charge ol transportation or conveyance shall not exceed thirty-live cents per hundred pounds on heavy anieles, and ten cenlB per cubic foot on ar? ticles or measurement, for every hundred miles, and live cents a mile for every passenger; and provided, also, that the said company may, when they sec nt. farm ont their right of transporta? tion on t hc said road, or guy of its branches, sub? ject to tlie rates above mentioned. As wc hare said before, the stockholders must expect to hear of all manner of dodges and tricks in thc Interest or thc speculative ring. Thc stock is going too high, and the speculators want to bear lt down so as to get lt at a lower price, ir the stockholders stand Arm, they hove nothing to fear. THE DVKR'S MOTTO.-Mr. Neil Warner ap? pears at the Academy of Music this evening In the new romantic drama of "The Duke's Motto." This play, which has been made so famous In the last month or two by Mr. Fechter's masterly im? personation at Niblo's Garden el Us leading role Henri de Leaardere, Is founded on Paul Feval's novel or Le Bossu, aud has been played with great success, both at Paris In theorginal dramat? ic version of thc author, and in this country by Mr. Fechter,' under whose direction it waa thrown Into its present form by the veteran playwright, Mr. John Brougham. The plot or "Thc Duke's Motto" ls very simple, but it has all that artifice or situation in which the French mind excels, and which ls so effective tn dramatic representation. Without going into details, wc may say that tho pivot on which the piece turns ts thc killing or a malicious hunch? back by a bold, dashing soldier or fortune (Lcgar dere,) who then assumes his victim's place with a gay and fearless audacity, and transforms him? self from one to the other so opposite character with Induite skill and vraisemblance. With this central Incident ls Interwoven a touching love story; and thc general effect of thc play has been such as to draw immense houses, night after uight, In New York, and to win from the best crit? ics no grudging praise. Mr. Ford has shown great enterprise In thus of? fering to thc Charleston public thc greatest nov? elty of thc day, una we hope lils efforts will be re? warded with a crowded house. With his man? agement, and Mr. Warner's acting, the play san hardly fail lo be a brilliant success. TUE BAL MASQUE OK TUH S?RNGBIHJDND. The new music hall or thc Academy or Music was graced last night by a heterogeneous collection of grotesque, fantastic and hideous nondescript. The masks and costumes wcro bewilderingly strange, weird and curious, and it was almost im? possible to delect any one who pretended to con? ceal their individuality. There ls no place of pub? lic amusement in thc city that ls better adapted for ball purposes than thc Music Hall. On enter? ing, the doors ut either side ot the stairway lcd to the gentlemen's and ladles' cloak aud hat rooms, where thc outer wrappings, hais, canes, and arti tides or personal property were carcfolly preserved and returned to ihc owner without confusion. The lower hall was retained as a supper room, and the long tables were crowded during the evening by the masqueraders. Thc upper aod larger hall, with Its wide galleries, ls capable of accommoda? ting one thousand persons, and was admirably suited for a marqucradc, affording ample room for the promenaders, convenient scats for those couples of either sex who sought to penetrate each other's disguise, and abundant space for the dancers. The floor was waxed until it shone again, thc music sounded allnnngly, and the vota? ries of Terpsichore were not backward In prov? ing that though they might bo Quakers. Yahoos, or what not, they were certainly good dancers. The entrance to thc Academy or Music on King street was crowded by a mixed assemblage or white and colored, who hailed the advent or any costume or mask that was outre with loud shouts or applause. Dp-stalrs lt was all Jollity. There was the usual number ot clowns, Indians, warriors, and an endless variety or curious conglomerations that were particularly good. The fow instances where the men counterfeited the opposite sex were admirably well done. Some cake women, gingcrpnp venders and other similar characters, all old maumas, were, perhaps, the best disguises in thc hall, though lt was necessary to Keep com? paratively qulut in order to act their characters to perfection. Thc ladies were, without exception, costumed well, and their disguises were perfoot. One who represented a maid of honor in the Elizabethan era was particularly good; but In every instance all efforts to penetrate their In? cognito foiled. Although thc hall 13 the largest In thc city, lt was hardly able to accommodate tho crowds that poured Into the building between io and 12 o'clock. At the hour ot unmasking thc floor was covered with animated masked humanity, and thc surprises on thc veil or mystery being re? moved were about equal. At 12 o'clock thc danc? ing commenced, and the enlivening strains of the music soon caused willing feet to twinkle in and out ot demure skirts, and round and square dances, and dances or every description, were performed with a vim that proved that the own? ers or the aforesaid reel to be used to thc exer? cise.

I AcADRMT OF Moaio-OTHELLO.-lift War? ner's "Othello" last evening waa a magnltfetot ploco or acting-elevated in ita conception, mi? nutely correct In its details, and very nearly per reet lu its execution. Indeed, the overmastering attraction which he exerted was such as nearly to dwarf the rest ot thc cast As in a theatre thc eyes or men, Arter a well graced actor leaves thc stage, Are idly bent on 1dm that enters next. Thinking lils prattle to be tedious. Nothing could bc finer than the >-truggle or con? flicting emotions depicted In Ids race on dismiss? ing Cassio; nothing more exquisitely modulated than the gradual progress or his jealous eye be? neath the subtle poison or Iago's wiles; nothing more grandly tragic than the culmination or his Infinite despair. We have already intimated that we do not like Mr. Fannin's Ingo. It has the merit or being a clear cnnoeptlon consistently carried out, (i-xcept that there ls too much levity in the crisis or his action;) but lt Is nether plausible nor Intellectual enough for thc matchless villains or thc dramx This ls, however, a matter or critical Judgment, in which opinions may fairly differ; and lt 1B du? to Hr. Pannin to say that he la a correct enough actor to bc always effective, even when his audi? ence are not in sympathy with thc spirit of his conception. Miss Eldridge's "Desdemona" ls still somewhat lacking In force, though she has Improved greatly on hor former rendering. She has thc power, however, to do much better with the role, and she has improved enough lately to warrant ex? pectation. To-night wc have Fechter1? famous play or "Thc Duke's Motto,'- to which we reror else? where. Hotel Arrivals-February 0. CnARLBSTON IIOTBL. T. Sargant and J. Oldcnahaw, Now Tork; W. G. Nugent and P.
