A SPLENDID SCCCESS AT TUB ACADEMY-TUE OATES BCRLESQCE AND OPERATIC TROCPE.-The reign or burlesque has " fairly begun. It was in? augurated last night at the Academy of Music with splendid success. Mrs. Oates' Burlesque and Operatic Troupe ls certainly, beyond comparison, the best appointed and most completely satisfac? tory in its peculiar line that has ever appeared npon Charleston boards. The company was evi? dently taken upon trial last evening, but the cur? tain had not been lifted for ten minutes before the spontaneous responses of the crowded house to the piquant attractions of the charming prima donna and her brilliant band of followers, dem? onstrated beyond all doubt the success of the en? gagement. "The Field or the Cloth of Gold" has the usual Bterary ind dramatic demerit or all the bur? lesques we have ever seen; but, In the hands of the present troupe, it has, with admirable taste, been converted Into a grand musical spectacular exhibition, gorgeous in costume and equipment, richly diversified with comic and melodious inter? ludes, and affording an opportunity for every variety of high and pleasing entertainment. The performance ls so nearly upon a level or excel ence that it is hard to discriminate as to indi? vidual merit. The voices are alt tolerably fair Mrs. Oates' being the only one of real compass and sweetness-and, though of no special merit in solos, are harmonious and effective in chorus. Mrs. Sheldon (Lady Constance) also deserves par? ticular mention for her grace, beauty and spirit, and Mr. Allen for his capital personation of Queen Catherine. But the acting or the whole troupe was above the average which we had been led l>y previous experiences to expect. Among the agreeable varieties of the evening were thc really wonderful "Tumbieronic?le" per? formances of Professor O'Reardon, which are worth going specially to see; thc guitar solo and bal'et dancing of Mr. Hernandez, whose form ls more supple than an advocate's conscience, and the amusing absurdities of thc mock-Japanese. Altogether, wc can cordially recommend the troupe as thc least objectionable and the most en? tertaining which Charleston has yet been offered in the musical-burlesque Hue. "The Field of the Cloth of Gold" wili be repeated this evening with the Introduction of many new Interludes. On Wednesday night "The Daughter or the Regi? ment" ls announced, to bc tollowed during the week by various attractive novelties. LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY.-The- anniversary of Lincoln's birthday was celebrated yesterday by the parade of the Scott Light Infantry and the United Fire Company. Roth looked and dressed well, and the martial bearing of the sable war? riors was the admiration or the crowded side? walks. REAL ESTATE SALK.-Messrs. Lowndes & Grintball sold yesterday, at thc old rostoillce, thc large brick mansion on the west side ol Meeting street, below thc Scotch Church, and known as thc Allston House ror $19.000-one-quarter cash, the balance one, two and th ree years. This property is one or thc old landmarks or Charleston, having been built by the ancestors or the late owners, and furnished at a great ex? pense. Its original cost in years gone by was $60,000; but in the present depreciation or real es? tate, the price Tor which lt was sold was at the top or the market. It was purchased by a broker of this city Tor a charitable purpose, but the ob? ject is not known. TUE CATHOLIC FAIR.-Though laboriug un? der many disadvantages, and ticing compelled to work both early and late, yet thc ladles and their male assistants who had charge or the decora? tions and arrangements succeeded in bringing order out or-chaos, and have rendered this rair in no wise inrcrlor to others that have been held in the Hibernian Hall. Everything is very tastily arranged-the evergreens forming wreaths, fos toons and other ornaments that add to the beauty or the scene and improve the appearance or cacti table. Last night thc rair was attended by a throng or both sexes-young and old, grave and gay-who were passiug anil repassing. but who could not escape the voice or thc charmer, and their pockets foll a prey to the wiles that were brought to bear upon them. Each table had much that was attractive, and yet hard to describe, as the stock In trade was so varied and comprised so many articles whose use is known only to the initiated, that we forbear the attempt. On entering thc hall one or the first objects descried is a miniature Academy or Mu-ic, very prettily constructed, and a striking resemblance to its great prototype. Tables Nos. 1 and S on the north side are under the direction or Father Schacte, and arc presided over by Mrs. Michel and Mrs. Kennedy. Table No. 3, St. Joseph's Church, ls under the charge or Mrs. Commins and Miss Mary Kean. Table No. 4 is the grand rallying point where tire good things of this Ufo are rarnlshed for a rair exchange or greenbacks. This table ls under the supervision or Miss Owens and Mrs. Blcaise. A Jacob's well stands invitingly near, tempting the weary to slake their thirst with nectar served by blooming Hebes. It was liberally patronized during the evening, and no one grumbled at the small toll that was de? manded. On the opposite side ol the hall are an equal number or tables, making eight in all. The Chapel table ls devoted to refreshments, and has among its ornaments two portraits or Fathers Qnigly aud and Shadier. It is under the charge or the Misses Sweegan. The next in order is thc table or Father Cro ghan, who ls ably assisted by Mrs. Gannon. The St. Patrick's Benevolent Society have the next, which ls conducted by Misses Darcy and Burke. The last, which is under thc charge or Mrs. John Moran and Mrs. T. E. Hogan, has a picture o? the late Father Fileon and the Pope. The rair is not only highly creditable to those who have originated lt, but adonis a ?lace or amuse? ment and en rtaiument where a deserving char? ity can be aided without thc giver fooling his loss. Last night was hardly a good time for a critical visit, as thc heat and burden or the day was hard? ly over before the rair was opened. It will be largely Improved to-night, and should have a large attendance. ^ The following ls a list or the prizes won last evening: Wax fruit, Lizzie Mcrnaugh; fruit cake. Mrs. J. Hallis; handsome ?Joli, E. R. Morris; handsome tobacco pouch. Ellen Dougherty: silver pitcher, Emily Burk: one pair vases, Michael Bannon: chair cover, W. T.

A STEAMER PARTS HER CABLE AND PRIKTS TO SEA, WHERE SUE FOCNPEKS.-The Savannah Advertiser of Sunday contains a statement of the particulars, so far as ascertained, or the loss at sea or the steamer Two Boys, with 409 bales or cotton on board, she having been blown ott* by a westerly gale after parting her cable, and is re? ported to have sunk about forty miles from land : The following are the Tacts In reforence to the misfortune to the steamer Two Boys: She arrived ar narien from Dublin on Monday night, the ?lh Instant, at io o'clock, with a cargo or 456 bales or upland cotton, everything being in good working order. The steamer took in two cords or wood at Danen and departed for Savannah at 12 M. same day. The weather at the time was foggy-no wind or sea. On thc following day, Tuesday, at 1:30 P. M., while crossiug Sapelo Sound, near Black Bear Island, and abont a mlle from shore, the engineer notified the captain that the steam? er would have to be stopped, as the nipple had been blown off the steam drum,'and at the same time we observed a great escape ol' steam under thc cabin floor. The captain ordered the steamer's head to be put towards the sea, when her rudder chain gave way. She was im? mediately anchored after this lu three or live fathoms of water, no sea or any consequence running, wind blowing rrcsh Troin the west. While her rudder chain was being repaired, she dragged her anchor. More cable was given, which checked her. She again commenced dragging, and continued to do so until she was ehecked thc second time, being stopped this time about two" hundred foet rrom the shore. Her head was then turned towards the beach. About ten minutes arter this her cable parted. Captain White theu ordered myseir, Pilot Bailey and others to jump overboard with a hawser, and, if possible, make lt last to the shore. She was then lu about four foet or water. No means or securing the hawser could tie found exc.pt to a log or drirt wood, partially bound in the sound. This proved insuttlclent, and the steamer drifted off rrom the shore, due east, at the rate or about five knots an hour. The party ou shore, consisting of F. Shannon, mate; Thomas Dickson and Elbert Baily, pilots; Jim Dawson, steward; Adam and Wm." Berry. Daniel Turner, and one deck hand-eight In all-was unable to reach the steamer. The Two Boys remained in view for about two Lours, and when last seen, though endeavoring to make headway with her steam, lt llnally gave out. We remained on the beach from that time until Friday morning, when we were taken off by Cap? tain Thompson. From thence wc caine by the Nick King to Savannah. The partv had a hard time of lc on the Island, rrom Tuesday till Friday, and prickly pears Butter? ed much rrom the hungry ones, as did. indeed, anything that could be round to sustain life. LATER.-Captain Hernandez, of the pilot boat Annie Sims, who arrived to day, reports the se? quel to this statement, and lt Ls the latest yet heard of the steamer. Captain Hernandez made the following statement to us : That on Friday af noou, at 2 o'clock, while he was lying off east of Ty bee, bearing northwest, he made out an Ameri? can bark, name unknown, bearing east by south, standing In by thc wind, and flying her jack as if a pilot was warned. He got alongside or her at hair-past seven o'clock that evening, and asked the captain if he wanted a pilot. The latter replied no, but said that he had the crew of the sunken steamer Two Boys onboard; that she was sunk in twenty fathoms or water. He asked me ir I would take the crew on board to Savannah. I told him that I would, but, as there was a schooner-the Althea Frank? lin-a fow rods astern at the time, I told the cap? tain that as soon as I spoke thc Franklin 1 would return and take the crew. Went to the schooner, and the captain ol ker refused the usc of a pilot. I immediately tacked and stood for the bark; set our lights and she stood tn the wind. I chased her an hour aud a hair, and then gave lt np. Thc bark was bound to Doboy or Brunswick. The schooner Althea arrived in port yesterday with thirty bales or cotton that she hud picked up near the point or the disaster, which is located about fortv miles out irora land and southeast rrom Tybe'e, between there and Sapelo. The Al? thea reported that a large steamer was among the great mass or floating bales and was rast picking them up. The unknown bark had thirty three bales on board. Under thc " circumstances, perhaps much or the valuable cargo will be saved. BROWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHE s.-"Your troches are too well and favorably known to need commendation."-Hon. Chas. P. Phelps, President Massachusetts Senate. "My commu? nication with thc world has been very much en? larged by the lozeugc which I now carry always in my pocket; that trouble in my throat (for which the troches arc a speedie) having made me orten a mere whisperer.'*-N. P. Willis. For sale by Dowie, Moise A Davis. CHARLESTON BOARD OK TRADE.-At half-past 1 o'clock, yesterday, a special meeting was held, to make arrangements for attending thc funeral of thelate president, Henry Cobia, Esq. Vice-president A. H. Hayden explained the ob? ject of the meeting, and that the board would bo pleased to hear any remarks on the subject. George A. Trenholm, Esq.. said, that the an? nouncement just made to the meeting conveyed mournful intelligence, which, although known to all before, still was proper to bc made herc to this body-to show the respect due to its late pre? sident, and give melancholy proofs of its attach? ment to thc departed. There are many, he said, who stood- in closer relation, commercially and socially, to the deceased, but few knew him ear? lier. Very carly in life he worshipped in the same church of which Mr. Cobla had remained a mem? ber through life. He knew him when he first commenced business as a merchant. He began with those indispensable requisites to success genius and Integrity. He had thc genius or In? dustry, aud Integrity of character. He was not ambitious of public distinction-never sought oillce for Its honon or emoluments. Bat when entrusted with its duties, none discharged them with more fidelity or more zeal than he. This board has sustained a great loss; our communi? ty Las sustained a great loss, and it behooves this board to testify its appreciation of the worth and character of thc deceased in a suitable manner. This is not thc occasion for an extended eulogy. Other persons better qualified thoo himself would discharge thc mournfully pleasing duty of testify? ing in a proper manner to the many virtues and excellencies of character of the deceased. He said he had only risen to present the following resolu? tions : Resolceii, That this meeting has heard with pro round regret thc sad intelligence of thc death of Mr. Henry Cobia, the late president of this socle! v, the "Charleston Board ot Trade." Resolved, That thc funeral services being ap? pointed for 3 o'clock this afternoon, the members of the Board of Trade will attend ina body asa mark of respect for his memory, and In evidence of the sense they entertained of lils worth. W. H. Hastie, Esq., seconded the resolution, and made a few suitable remarks, stating that our deceased friend had been taken from us in thc zenith of his usefulness; that he needed no better eulogy than thc numerous positions of public trust which he had so long and so satis? factorily filled. The resolution was unanimously adopted. H. H. DeLeon, Esq., moved that when thc board adjourned, Its members go at once In a body to the residence of the deceased, and from there to the church. On motion, the board then adjourned. Hotel Arrivals-February 14. CHARLESTON HOTEL. F. W. Stark, New York; General Wm. Win? der, Philadelphia; E. W.

The little mongoose when bitten by a deadly ser? pent resorts to a certain plant, cats or lt, and es? capes the effect or thc poison. That is instinct. Human beings, on the other hand, must depend on reason and experience In selecting the means or protecting health and lire against unwhole? some Inlllienccs. Now, what docs resou say ou this vital subject? Docs it not tells us that to In? vigorate and purify the system ls the best way to protect it against the invisible poison which generates disease? Surely lt docs. The next question is, what guide shall we follow In choos? ing a medicinal safeguard ! Reason replies, let your monitor be experience.
