AMUSEMENTS. The Second Patti Concert. Charleston is not in these days, it must bo confessed, a wildly demonstrative place, but Miss Patti, by her marvellous skill and evident deter? mination to please, has awakened a decree of musical enthnsiasm altogether unknown since the close or the war. Last night the applause which greeted the prima donna was, ir possible, more thunderous than on Monday. There was the same purity or j intonation, chasteness of delivery and precision of finish which marked Miss Patti's singing at the first concert, and her vocah>athn was to the full as wonderful. The truth ls, that very few among the audience thoroughly appreciated the immensity of thc work which was performed with so little apparent effort. They heard, they wondered and admired, but did not remember that Carlotta Patti, as a singer, has not, at this moment, a superior on thc operatic or concert stage, while it is very doubtful ir there ls more than one who ls her equal. Ade? lina Patti, Christine Nilsson, Pauline Lucca, Ilma di Mu rs ta, may have larger voices, but not one or them has greatei compass, and not more than one has the same wonderful fluency and flexibili? ty or vocalization. There is no straining or gasp? ing. The melodious tones glide rrom the lips with exquisite evenness and smoothness, from the low? est notes In her register to the famous sol diese, said to be the highest note now sung by any vocalist. Gassier, if we remember aright, sang no higher than the sol. The cavatina from ,:La Travlata,'" with the bril? liant allegro movement, was sung deliciously, as was the charming bolero composed for Miss Patti by Mr. Ritter. The famous quartette from "Lucia" was gloriously sung by Miss Patti, and Messrs. Squires, Ritter and Hermanns. The audience de? manded an encore or the bolero, and would not be denied, and ir applause counts for anything, there was a strong desire to encore again and again. Miss Patti humored them lu this one In? stance, singing with exquisite taste and archness the ballad of."Com?a' thro' the Rye." Herr Hermanns was set down for two songs in the vernacular. To the old "I'm Afloat" he gave new lire and vigor. He sang splendidly, nad was applauded vociferously, as was Mr. Squires, whose ballad singing Is deservedly admired. Mr. Prume handled his violin with wonderful skill, the mellowness of his tones being no less conspicuous than the rapidity and brilliancy of bis execution. Mr. Ritter played deliciously. This gentleman, who enjoys a continental reputa? tion, is as remarkable for breadth of style and thoughtfulness of manner as for dashing vivacity of execution. Mr. Ritter ls the finest pianist whom we know to have visited Charleston. Mr. Colby ls a capital leader, and accompanies with marked discretion and skill. So ended the engagement, by far too short, cf the Patti Concert Company. Grand Italian Opera. The next attraction promised us by Manager Ford is a short season of Italian Opera, opening on Monday next. The incomparable Brlgnoli, with oar own Carolina prima donna, Miss Mccul? loch, whose voice ls said to be wonderfully im? proved since we last heard her, are supported by a company sufficiently strong to bring out, in good style, the operas of Martha, II Trovatorc, Lucretia Borgia and Lucia di Lammermoor. It will be a great treat for our citizens who have not heard a real opera for more than ten years. In order to make everything in readiness for a proper presentation of the operas named, thc Academy will be closed for the remainder of the present week. The Richings1 Opera Troupe, comprising forty-six persons, or whom twenty six are in the chorus, will appear at the Academy or Music on or about the 25th or April. The prin? cipal singers are: Caroline rt Bernard, Emma Howson, and Mrs. H. Drayton, prima donnas; Annie Kemp Bowler, contralto; Brookhonse Bow? ler and Pierre Bernard, tenors; Henry Drayton, baritone; H. C. Peakes, basso; S. Behrens, con? ductor; A. S. Pennoyer, business manager. Mr. Jo. Jefferson. The fact that this gentleman, who ranks first among llvli g comedians, for the past two eve? nings was among the audience of the Academy, has awakened a very general hope that his pres? ent chance visit to Charleston may be the precur? sor of a professional visit later In the season. It ls certain that whenever he may appear on our boards, he will meet with a welcome more cordial and more substantial than any other actor could elicit. Purim Ball. j The halls of the Academy of Mnstc will be graced this evening by a heterogeneous collection of gay and restive maskers. Th? Purim bal masque has always been celebrated for the rich? ness and originality of the costumes, and the ex? uberance of run that ls engendered. Thc ball or this evening will be not a whit inferior to its pre? decessors, and will be an occasion long to be re? membered by the participants. Wyman, the Wizard, still continues to attract large houses by his leg? erdemain and liberality. The entertainment ls superior to any of a similar character that have appeared In this city since the last visit or Prores sor Wyman, and age has only ripened his experience. The tricks, mysterious dlsap pearanc s and ventriloquism, cannot fall to Interest, while thc lifelike automata arc a feature that deserve thc applause re? ceived. Aside from the "merits of the perform? ance, the distribution of girts would alone draw an audience, as thefact ls now well established that Wyman ls not chary of his favors, and green? backs, workboxes. and other useful and orna? mental articles are presented at the close of thc exhibition without regard to cost. LIBERALITY.-We learn that Professor Wy? man, the world-renowned ventriloquist and ma gician, has, wita.his accustomed liberality, ten? dered a benefit to thc Ladies' Mutual Aid Associa? tion. They have selected Friday night, the 18th instant, lt is seldom that our community can, at the same time that they aid a noble charity, have an opportunity of enjoyment such as this exhibition will afford. Tickets for that evening caa be procured at the bookstores and principal hotels. Hotel Arrivals-March 15. CHARLESTON HOTEL. T. L. Henry, Savannah; W. B. Quinn, P. Byrnes, J. D.

The State printer, J. \V. Denny, will have the Code published In pamphlet form In a few days, for the benefit of members of thc legal profession and such others as feel interest? ed. The price will bc one dollar." ON A BENDER.-The Savannah River has been ou a bernier ever sinoo last Friday, and at Augusta, on TSunday, had attained a height of thirty feet six inches, the highest point reached since 1S65. Considerable property in thc lower streets of thc city was destroyed, and great ?Lim? age done to thc plantations. On several of the streets there was a sufficient quantity or water to answer the demands or bateau navigation. On upper Jones street a considerable number oi these light draft vessels were employed for purposes or convenience to water-bound residents. LOST AND FOUND AGAIN.-The frequent in? stances where lost property has been rcstortjd by using the columns or THE NEWS proves the effi? cacy or advertising In a journal that ls read by every one in the community. Yesterday a well known merchant or this city was made happy by the recovery of a fine pair of gold spectacles, that were lost while visiting different parts of the city In the course of business. He advertised his loss In THE NEWS, and the spectacles once more grace his nose, having been found by a little colored girl in the street. Both finder and loser gained by the advertisement. THE CASE OF MRS. CATHERINE A. PATTERSON vs. the Equitable Life Assurance Society or the United States, to recover $10,00(\ the amou it or the policy he'd by her deceased husband lu said com? pany, was concluded in the Superior Court, Savannah, on Saturday last, by a verdict ror the plaintiff. Dr. James T. Patterson, who rormerly lived In this city, died suddenly in Savannah, In April, 18C8. HU wife was put upon trial ror thc murder or her husband, and was acquitted. When the verdict was rendered Saturday, a tu? multuous cheer, says thc News, rang through the court-room. The lady who had been branded by public opinion asa murderer had passed through the ordeal, we trust, like gold purlflcd by the fire, and with a Arm gaze can uow face her accusers. ? WHITTEMORE.-This reverend scoundrel made a speech In Sumter on Saturday last, in the Emanuel Church, thc county commissioners hav? ing refused to allow him to speak In the court? house. About one hundred persons assembled. He said he regretted, but was not ashamed of having sold the cadetship, as the money for it had been used to build schoolhouses for the col? ored people. He asked to be sent back Tor the unexpired term, and was answered by cries or "Yes, yes, yes." He stated that he had received many insults and one K. K. K. letter, stating: "Do you remember Randolph*'' "Sumter has taken your Insolence as long as she can stand lt." "A word to the wise," Ac. . CRUMBS.-It is believed that Alderman Pot? ter win be elected Inspector-general or timber and lumber at the next meeting of the City Council. The two colored women whom Abraham Evans alias Pullman married, plead with Magistrate Mackey yesterday to have him released from Jail, but the required ball not being forthcoming, he refused. Mr. George W. Qulntard, president of the New York and Charleston Steamship Company, and Mr. B. D. Hasell, general agent or thc Great Southern Freight Line, In New York, were In Au? gusta Monday, looking after the connecting In? terests of their line Westward. The Mayor yesterday imposed fines amounting to $17. STATE COURT.-Judge Carpenter on yester? day was engaged In hearing the lmportont cause of Dabney, Morgan A Co., against the President, Directors and Company or the Bank or the State or South Carollua, Baring Brothers A Co., and others. The questions involved relate to the dis? tribution or the assets or the Bank or the State, amounting to about one million of dollars. The connsel engaged aro as follows: For thc bill holders of the bank, Messrs. Whaley, Mitchell A Clancy, non. A. G. Magrath, and Porter ^Con? ner; for the State, the Hon. D. H. Chamberlain. Attorney-General; for Baring Brothers A Co., of London, Messrs. Hayne A Son and Hon. J. B. Campbell; ror the lire loan stockholders In the United States, Messrs. Buist A Buist and Hon. Thomas Y. Simons. Arguments on behair or the respective parties were delivered on yester? day by General Conner, Hon. L W. Hayne, Wil? liam Whaley, Esq., and Hon. J. B. Campbell. Thc argument to-day will be continued by D. II. Chamberlain, Attorney-General; Hon. Henry H?lst and Hon. A. G. Magrath. Tribute of Renpect. At the last regular meeting of thc Pioneer Steam Fire Engine Company, the following pre? amble and resolutions were unanimously adopt? ed: Since our last meeting, our ex-president, HENRY COUIA, has been summoned away from his earth? ly labors, and his career or userulness In this community; and this company, among thc many who deplored his loss, have followed with solemn footsteps and saddened hearts thc remains of oue who formerly, full of life and energy, was accus? tomed to lead us in the arduous duties or our or? ganization. Though he had retired from the active service as a fireman, yet we have felt that he was still of us, and the familiar form or the esteemed citizen always brought to our mind9 the pleasant recol? lection, undimmed by the slightest sorrow or ie grct, ot his association with ns as a member and officer, and we knew that his counsel and lils as sistance would never bc wanting in time or need. Wc arc again reminded or these services by thc mournful event which has ended them, but they comeback to us embittered now by the thought that they have forever ceased, and that our honor? ed comrade has passed from our sight. As n member or this company, Mr. CORIA dis? played the same sterling qualities which won ror him the regard and esteem or all classes or his rellow-citizens; he rose to its command, and won from all thc encomiums ol' duty ably discharged, and, more than that, the respect and affection of all his associates. None mourn him more, and we desire to put upon record our estimation of his lire and ser? vices, and our sorrow at his loss; therefore, Resolved, That in thc death or HENRY COBIA. this company mourns thc loss or a beloved and valued comrade, the memory or whose career among them will long be cherished and respected. Resolved, That a blank page' in our Minute Book bc dedicated to him, and that a copy or these resolutions be sent io the family or thc de? ceased, with thc expression or our sincere Sym? pal hv in their affliction. liesolved, That they be published In THE DAILY NEWS.
