PUBLIC SCHOOL EXAMINATION.- To-day the scholars of the free schools of the city will be ex? amined. Of the five thousand pupils, five hun? dred and forty will receive awards of merit. DISAGREEABLE.-It rained and blew enough yesterday to satisfy everybody, and to dissatisfy every one who desired to go to "School" last night. When it did'nt rain hard lt blew hard, and most of thc time did both together. LAROB CAROO.-There was cleared yesterday by Messrs. Patterson St Stock, the ship R. C. Win? throp, for Liverpool, having on board a cargo of 482 bags of sea island. 2360 bales upland cotton, 613 barrels rosin, 10 tierces rice, and 434 sacks cotton seed, weighing 1,430,553 pounds, and valued at $282,683. A MINISTKR NEEDBD.-There ls a section of country, says a correspondent, extending from the Savannah River, in thc vicinity or Roberts viiie to the Coosawhatchie, to Savannah and Bluf ton, in which a sermon, (unless preached by color ed ministers) ls not preached once a month. The correspondent asks that a missionary be aent out there. He states that the people are able and willing to snpport one. GENERAL ROBERT E. LEE.-General Lee and his daughter will probably pass through this olty lu a few daya on his way to Savannah, where he will spend two or three weeks. The Lexington (Virginia) Gazette states, on his trip "he will stop lu Warrenton, North Carolina, to revisit the grave of a daughter who died near that place during the war. This relaxation from the routine of college duties, with the change of scenery and travel, wlU, no doubt, prove of benefit to his health. The faculty were urgent In their request that the General should seek recreation In a pleas? ant excursion. The confinement or college ure had somewhat affected his health." FIREMEN'S COURTESIES.-At a meeting of the Gtrman Fire Company or this city, held on Tues? day night last, Messrs. Biun and Basaler, a com? mittee from the Germas ia Fire Company of Sa? vannah, extended an invitation to ear fire com? pany to accept of the hospitalities or the Savan? nah company, at the annual parade of the fire department of that city, on the flrst of May next. This invitation was unanimously accepted. Yes? terday a committee of the Germans did the honors to the two guests, by showing them around the city, and a pleasant day, notwith? standing the Inclement weather, was passed. The Savannah gentlemen leave this morning by the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, well pleased with their abort sojourn. THE PARTICIPATION PLAN IN FIRE IN9HR AXCE.-Theoretically, the purely mutual plan, which gives all the prouts to the insurers, is the most equitable of all the schemes of Insurance; but security is as necessary as a share lu the -prouts, and many insurers for that reason go to the proprietary companies. In which the stock? holders take all the profits, but are responsible for all losses. The participation plan in fire in? surant is intended to combine the advantages of the mutual and proprietary systems. This ls done by paying the stockholders a minimum dividend, and one-fourth of the profits, while the Insured receive three-fourths of the profits. These profits, as they are paid, reduce the cost or Xhe Insurance. The Citizens' Fire Insurance Com? pany, of New York, which is now conducted on this plan, declared, on January 5, a dividend of thirty per cent., and In twenty-one years has divided among Ps stockholders five hundred and six per cent. It has a cash capital or $300,000, and assets summiting to $6S4,444, and has been in successful operation moro than thirty years. Thtsfshows what the company has done and will do. Mr, A. L. Tobias, No. 100 East Bay, ls the Charleston agent._ THE UNITED STATES COURT-HONORABLH GEORGS S. BRYAN, PRESIDING.-The following business was disposed of in the Ualted. States ?ourt yesterday : Admiralty Court.-In the case of Charles and George Relyea, owners of the sloop Ark vs. schooner Franois Ann and cargo, libel for salvage, a warrant of arrest was Issued returnable on the first or April. In the case of H. S. Libby, vs the People's Mall Steamship Company, libel for relief, it appear? ing that the order for substitution of proctors was made under a mistake, the order was revok? ed. Also, lt appealing that the company had gone into bankruptcy ia the State of New York, and an assignee appointed. It was ordered that thc clerk of this conn should notiry the libellant that the case will be tried and disposed of In this court, on the 10th or April. District Court.-Ex parte Charles Y.

Petition in these two cases-one a bill to enforce sale, and the other a cross bill for injunction and relief. The report or Colonel Slmonton, special referee, waa confirmed, and a decretal order en? tered substituting a bond in the place of the lien. CRUMBS.-The range lights or. Morris' Island will be completed the latter part of this or thc first of next week. Il all night schools were as interesting as the "School" at the Academy of Music was last night, there would be any number or students lu regu? lar attendance npon them. A correspondent requests us to state that the services of a missionary are needed in the neigh? borhood of Henis' Cross Roads, Beaufort County. The grounds and buildings of the Schntzen p:atz are being pnt in order for the May festivi? ties. Snits have been instituted against a number of persons who have neglected to renew their licenses from last year. On and after to-morrow the Mayor will com? mence his court at 9 o'clock. The inquest upon the body or Edward Heywood, who fell from a trestle and received injuries which resulted in his death, will be held Friday. Magistrate P. D. Lincoln was arrested yester? day Tor a violation of the Hamestead law, in sell? ing a horse of Simon Dar, his sole property. He gave $1000 security to answer the charge. Fines to the amount of fifteen dollars were Im? posed by the Mayor yesterday. Charles Clipper and W. H. Hodges have sued out cross warrants. Clipper say - Hodges knocked him down with a heavy instrument, and HodgeB asserts that Clipper cut him with a knife. Anthony Nixon, colored, who was sentenced to imprisonment for lire for complicity ia the mur? der or Dick Richards, was carried to the peniten? tiary yeaterdoy. AMUSEMENTS. The Academy of Mu,it-School. The comedies of Mr. T. W, Robertson, now the most successful which hold the English stage, are indebted for their charm te their natural style, and to the opportunities which they give for elaborating a dramatic picture, pre-Raphael ite in its minute care and devotion to realistic effect. They enable the true artist to take the rude dramatic Image, and T.ork lt ont by word, accent and gesture, until it becomes a living, breathing, counterfeit of the nicest emotions and subtlest feelings of woman and of man. This is especially the case with "School." It must be pleasant, and lt may be perfect, and we venture to say that they who saw this comedy as it was first "produced in Charleston, hardly recognized more than Its salient poii o as presented at the Academy last night. "School," in the nrst place, needs a company whioh is numerically strong, for naught is more dreary than an attenuated acidemy, whose soli? tary pupil, at Christmas tide, achieves a solution of muscular continuity in a vain endeavor to continue to walk by twos. Tilly and Laura, and th? rest, made a real "Sohool," and surely they could not desire a gentler and more profoundly arlthmetloal teacher than Miss Jenny Anderson, the Bella of the evening. The burden of the play, however, rests upon Miss Laura Keene, (Naomi Tighe) who, from first to last, acted with uncommon spirit and Hie. The character ls not one which suits this accomplished actress, but her portraiture of the hoydenish school-girl was far more pointed and natara! than anything which Charleston had seen before. The talk was "horsey" and abrupt, but the action was true, and the whole character (whatever American .ritlcs may say) was thoroughly consistent and as thoroughly sensible. Miss Keene wul never shine resplendantly in "School." This lady ls too strong, too powerful; and to set her for the soap-bubbles of dramatic literature ls to charge to the mnzzle a twelve-pounder gun for the dire execution of an irate musquito. The destruction may be complete, but there ls a fearful waste of force. The "Bella" of Miss Jenny Anderson was quiet and easy, especially la the third act. Mr. Stuart made a very fair Jack Poyntz, and Mr. Otis was careful and pointed as Krnx. Mr. Mordannt, who was set down ror Lord Beaufoy, acted with the conspicuous care and talent which marked his efforts on the two preceding evenings. In many important respects this gentleman stands near the summit of his profession. It rests with him? self, perhaps, to determine whether the dramatic genius shown in "Hunted Down" and "School" shall remain the admiration of a provincial town, or ripen into the acting talent of which a metrop? olis is proud. The house was only partially filled on account of the indecent weather, but they who were pre? sent applauded the play to the echo. We may add that lt was a subject of general comment, that so tine a theatrical effect should be produced with the limited resources at the manager's com? mand. The mise en scene was excellent-far more so than could be expected. To-night, the company will play thu fanions Bouclcaultlan drama, "Hunted Down." It ls a powerful play, and has been repeated at the ex? press desire of the many who were unable to wit? ness its first performance-one of the most notable events, by the way, in the dramatic an? nals of Charleston. A FISH STORV.-Almost everybody knows that la olden times there were "some Ssa" In the section or the world now known as South Caro? lina, ia proof of which we have cn ly to rerer to the large bones, Ac, found in the phosphate beds of the State, aud call attention to the trade-mark of the Carolina fertilizer, but no one believed that there was a live specimen extant; yet there ls, If the story of a gentleman related to the Savannah Advertiser be not a "freak of fancy." He stated that on last Monday noon, while in a boat In Wright's River, in South Carolina, near the mouth of the Savannah, "the 6llght-bullt crart was sud? denly, aud without any premonitory sign, ltited up, as by some immense roller, throwing the crew out of their seats and completely scaring the life out of them. Thc shock was so sudden that danger existed for a second of the boat turning over, bat luckily lt righted again and sank back Into the water, which foamed like breakers." The her*? of the adventure was pretty badly scared, bnt kept his eye upon the hideous mons? ter which had tossed his boat, and then made Its way lazily out of the river into the low rushes on the bank. It was, said he, "a creature almost in? describable, though its general appearance ls fixed in my mind's eye too Indelllbly for pleasant after thought. Thc beast, fish, or reptile, what? ever species of God's creation it m.sht be classed under, was of a tawny, greenish color, growing more definite toward the head. The body or the creature was seal-shaped, apparently twenty feet long, and as thick as the carcass of the largest sized elephant. From this trunk sprung forth the most remarkable feature of the phenomenon, along, curved, swan-l.ke neck, large enough ap? parently to have taken a man In whole, termina? ted by a head and Jaws similar to that of an Immense boa constrictor, the eyes fishy, yet possessing ferocity enough in their expression to make a man tremble. The back of thc beast was deeply ridged, the ridges running from the base of thc neck to the extreme end of the tall, and several lucites deep. An immense tall, shaped something like an alligator's, and three times longer, so lt seemed, than the body, completed the tout ensemble of thia wonderful anomaly. The creature navigated by feet, resembling the fore? feet of an alligator, and Us progress on laud was slow." As soon as the beast disappeared, and the crew recovered from their surprise, they pulled to Sa? vannah as hastily as possible, and then, perhaps, rushed off to Atlanta to have Introduced In the Legislature a bill giving them the "exclusive right" over the beast, with power to dig, mine and remove from his carcass all of the "phosphate" material therein contained. No use in this, however. That "fish" belongs to South Carolina; and its indirect pecuniary advantage to the sable members of the next Legislature must uet be lost sight of. Hotel Arrival*-March 30.

THB FRESHET [AND THE RICE CRors_The freshet, says the Savannah Advertiser, which prevailed r/or some time past on thc Savannah, Altamaha and Ogeechee Rivers, has seriously In? terfered with planting operations, and in many cases interfered materially with the rice pros? pects ror the comlug year. Coming just at a time when all the preparations had been made ror planting, and in the majority or cases the seed already sown, it has put back operations at least three weeks. In all the plantations tho fields have been and are still nuder water; and ir the rivers do not fall this week, the damage to the present rice crop will bc incalculable. BUSINESS JV O T I O E S .

Its function ls two-fold. The fluid which lt secretes tempers the blood and regulates the bowels, and upon the quantity and quality of the secretion depends, in a great degree, tho adaptatioa of the blood to the requirements of tho system and the due removal ot the refuse matter which remains in the bites tines after the work of digestion has been accom? plished. One of the principal asea of HOSTETTBR'S STOMACH BITTERS is to tone and control this somewhat unruly organ. The antl-billous proper? ties of the preparation are scarcely secondary to Its virtues as a stomachic. Its operation upon the liver Is not violent like that or mercury, but gradual and gentle. Instead of creating a sudden, tumult In that sensitive gland, it regulates Us action by degrees. Hence, lt is a safe remedy for bilious disorders, while mercury, being a tremen? dous excitant, ls not. The more naturally and quietly a diseased organ can be restored to its normal condition the better, and lt ls the peculiar property of this harmless vegetable alterative to reinforce and regulate without exciting or con? vulsing. The success which has attended Its use as a remedy for affections of the liver ls proverbial. Persons of a bilious habit who take lt habitually as a protection against the alacks to which they are constitutionally liable, pronounce lt thc best liver tonic in existence. The symptoms of an approaching fit of biliousness can hardly be mis? taken. A pain in the right side or under the shoulder blades, a saffron tinge in the whites of the eyes, sick headache, a feeling of drowsiness, low spirits, loss of appetite, constipation and general debility are among the usual Indications of a morbid condition of the liver, and as soon as they appear the BITTERS should bo resorted to In order to ward off more serious consequences. mch28 St _ pS* GAYETY IS TO GOOD HUMOR AS animal perfumes to vegetable fragrance; the one overpowers weak spirits, the other recreates and revives them.
