MKBTINO or THE ALUMNI OP CHARLESTON COLLEGS-A meeting of--the.Alumni of thc Charleston College iras held last night in thc chapel of the college. The meeting was organized, on motion of Mr. D. S. Henderson, by calling to the chan* the Hon. H. D. Lesesne, and requesting Mr. D. Hager Ba* .cot to aot as secretary. An Alumni Association was then formed, to be kjiown as the "Alumni Association of the College or Charleston." The' constitution of the Alumni Society of 1347 was adopted with amendments. An election of officers for the ensuing year was then entered Into, re? sulting as follows: Hon. H. D. Lesesne, president; C. R. Miles, B?q., vice-president; D. Huger Bacot, secretary and treasurer.

Aunual Orator Hou. W. D. Porter. REV. DR. HICKS'S LECTURE,-The first of a series of lectures by Rev. W. W. Hicks was de? livered last night to a select and appreciative audience at the Academy of Music. The lecturer discussed ludia, and a variety or other matter?, -with bis wonted fluency and animation or utter? ance, and briUiancy or diction. The lecture was too long, being enlarged by frequent digressions from the subject ; yet there seemed to be no flag? ging of Interest as the three stages of Indian history-the independent, the Mohammedan, and lite British-were unfolded, Interspersed with some personal reminiscences and reflections. The British conquerors and traders were handled with great severity, too great, we think; for the declamations of Burke and thc brilliant sketches or Macaulay, which were freely quoted from, do not indicate the present character of the lud?an Government, and wc doubt not that even the oppressions the Eng. lish rulers are chargeable with do not . surpass, If indeed they equal, that of the native or foreign rule? whom the British lion sent. We - bell evo that lt is to the advantage or any Berni civilized or Pagan nation, in the long run, to be brought under the dominion of a higher race, and the Hindoo, notwithstanding his grand. .architectural relics and his snbtle philosophical systems, is seml-clvilizcd still. The lecturer waa, however, interesting throughout, if the informa? tion In regard to the land of legend and romance was not as ample as we had hoped to receive .fromjme who for three years had resided there, and who retains a warm and even aa exaggerated 'esteem for the people of that vast dependency. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN.-IC is reported that F. T. Houck, of Baltimore, has engaged the Acade? my of Music for a short season, eommencing May 2d, and will open with George Kunkel, in Uncle Tom's Cabin ! MEDICAL COLLEGE.-At a meeting ol the Trustees of the Medical College of the State of South Carolina, held at the Medical College yes? terday, Professor E.

Geddings elected Emeritus Professor of the Institutes and Practice of Medicine and Professor or Clinical Medicine. The chair of General Anatomy and Physiology was divided, Professor Wm. M. Michel retaining the department or Physiology, and Dr. F. L. Par? ker, Demonstrator of Anatomy, bring elected to fill the restored Independent cha ,r or Anatomy. Dr. J. F. M. Geddings was elected to fill the chair or the Institutes and Practice or Medicine, va? cated by his father. THE OLD POSTOPFICE.-It will be remem? bered that the Chamber o? Commerce applied to Congress for permission to flt np the old post office Tor the purposes of the Chamber. When the petition reached Congress, it wa3 referred to the Committee on Commerce, which has not re? ported. Yesterday, Mr. S. Y. Tupper, while speaking before the Chamber or Commerce, men? tioned that he had called upon Collector Clark In regard to the building, and had been told by him to write direct to Senator Sawyer, and get him to usc lils efforts to push the matter. After this interview, Mr. Tupper called upon another prominent Radical and came away convinced that it was best to abandon the idea of getting possession or the building, which he had recently examined and round much more decayed and di? lapidated than he and others thought it was, and was of the opinion that lt would take from $12, 000 to ?15,000 to put lt in proper order. Collector Clark was of the opinion that the government would shortly put it up at public auction. UNITED STATES COURT-HON. GEORGE S. BRYAN, JUDOE, PRESIDING.-Thc following busi? ness was disposed of In thc Circuit and District Courts yesterday: Circuit court.-The Judge gave notice that on and after to-morrow the civil law docket will be called regularly with the exception of cases in which counsel rrom the country are concerned.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-MOVEMI NT TO SE. CURE A HALI..-An extra meeting of the Cham? ber of Commerce was held over tho office of C. T. Lowndes, Esq., at l o'clock yesterday. Robert Mure, Esq\ presiding. Berore thc business for which thc meeting was called was commenced, Mr. nanete! desired to know what action had been taken relative to the memorial of the Chamber to Congress, asking for better postotUce accommodations. The president explained that, according to in? structions, he had commnulcated the action or the Chamber to the Board of Trade, and request? ed their co-operation, and that the memorial waa aow ready for the slguutures of the members of the Chamber. Arter this explanation, thc president stated that tor n long time the need or a hall for the meetings of thc Chamber, lu connection with a reading room and general exchange, had been sorely felt, and as taere was a prospector securing such a hall, the meeting had been called to ascertain the sense of the members In regard to the subject. Mr. S. Y. Tupper stated that Mr. Riggs intended to improve internally and externally his building at the corner or Broad and East Bay streets, and had informed him (Mr. T.) that ir lt met the wish? es of the Chamber, he would convert the whole of the second story Into a hall, elevate the celling, and arrange lt generally so as to be adapted to the wants of the Chamber, and upon terms satisfactory to lt. In concluding his remarks, Mr. Tupper stated that there were about $7000 In the hands of the charity com? mittee of the chamber, and he thought that $1000 or $2000 borrowed Dom this rund would bc amply s?tlclent to fit up the hall for the purposes to which the chamber might wish to devote it. He then moved that a committee or three be ap? pointed to coater with Mr. Riggs upon the sub? ject, and report on Wednesday next. The motion was adopted and the president ap? pointed Messrs. S. Y. Tupper, J. T. Welanian and F. Poroher as the committee. The president stated that In obedience to in? structions from the Chamber, he had called upon the postmaster herc to ascertain whether or no: the postoillce box at Messrs. Walker, Evans A. Cogswell could not, for the convenience of the merchants, bc kept open a little later at night, but was informed that up to S o'clock was as.late as it could bc kept open. Atter thc members had signed the memorial above referred to, the Chamber adjourned. -? """-" Superfluous Superpliosphsiitc :3. TO THE EDITOR OF THE/NEWS. "On our wharves, In our offices, up our noses, down our throats I" Such was our soliloquy pass? ing a wharf close by our counting-house. Will thifcontents of the sewers, -inks, and sometimes (lt ls said) of the graveyards of Northern cities, Improve the health of our Inhabitants, as well a3 stimulate the growth or our vegetables? Had our Mayor, our Aldermen, (those born north or Ma? son and Dixon's line are meant,) our Board or Health, (ir there is one,) our city physicians, quarantine officers, and last, though not least, the military commandant or this post, been pre? sent when a cargo or "raw-bone," "ammonia ted," "manipulated" "superphosphate," so oalled, was lauded the o:her day, the barrels stinking and rostering, with a mass or files out? side hardly less repulsive than thc manure inside, visions or "Yellow Jack" would have loomed up. In whose deadly embrace, it ls not impossible, the said officials may in their turn form the ele? ments for the superphosphates of the next gene? ration. Wc protest against this nuisance. Our very offices are redolent with thc pestilential effluvia. A smell or dead rat pervades the atmosphere about the many places where lt ls landed, and frequent nausea to the unsuspecting ls common. It behooves our City Council to take such steps, In view or the approaching warm weather, as will prevent the possibility of the recurrence or such a yellow rever plague as followed the open? ing the sewers in Charleston in ms, after the warm days had set in.

PS* NEWSPAPER" STATEMENTS HOW THE PEOPLE TEST THEIR TRUTH.-This ls not an age wheu people believe on trust what? ever they see in the public journals. Fifty or sixty years ago.when thc accuracy ofa statement that had appeared in one of thc gazettes or "News Letters" of the day was questioned, lt was con? sidered a sufficient answer to all cavil to say, " It rausfbe so, for I read it In the newspaper." It is not so now. Newspaper assertions must bc veri? fied before they are taken for granted, and this ls especially the case as regards statements set? ting forth the remedial properties of proprietary medicines. For example: It was not until the tonic and alterative properties of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS had been deliberately and thoroughly tested by thousands, and found to be In perfect accord with the printed claims pat forth In Its behalf, that It was accepted by the public at large as a STANDARD RISC EDT. Bat when multitudes who had resorted to lt as a safe? guard against malarious revers, acure for indi? gestion aud biliousness, a means of strengthening the trame, cheering the spirit and Imparting con? stitutional vigor, came forward and testified that Its beneficial effects had exceeded their most san? guine expectations, or course the world believed. To resist such proofs was Impossible. Great care bas been taken from thc beginning not to over? state thc merits of the Ritters. Exaggeration and bombast have been jue death of many prepara? tions that might otherwise have survlved. They were "welshed In the balance and found want? ing." HOSTETTER'S BITTERS, on the contrary, have never been announced in grandiloquent language as a cure for every bodily ill, but simply as u pure', harmless vegetable specific, possessing remarkable Invigorating, regulating, antl billous and antiseptic properties. This ls exactly what the public kuow the medicine to bc, and Its enor? mous nates ls an argument In Its favor. aprS 6 pS*A GRAND EPOCH IN SCIENCE.
