The universal ver dlc^however, appears to be that the thermome? ter wasin sympathy with the game, and that colder fun of the kind has rarely been enjoyed in South Carolina. ARRIVAL OF TOE. STEAMSHIP VIRGINIA.-This valuable iron steamship left Philadelphia on Sa? turday last, and arrived here at an early hour on Tuesday morning, with a fair freight, and will leave hereon next Saturday morning, connecting with Boston steamer at Philadelphia. In the ab? sence of a direct linc, this offers inducements to shippers to the Eastern cities. LIGHTNING SPEED.-A subscriber at Midway beg3 us to call the attention of the Postofflce de? partment to the fact that the malls are carried by Midway on the express tram at "a lightning speed," so that, two or three times a week, the postmaster fails"fo exchange the mails with the agent on the train.

Pettenglll & Co., the well known and trustworthy advertising agents of 37 Park Row, New York, a copy of their "Advertiser's Handbook," which will be found Invaluable to the advertising public. The list of periodical publica tioa^is very rmi, and ls, doubtless, generally ac? curate, although there are some errors In the enu? meration of the South Carolina press. ? ETHERIAL MILDNESS COME.-The sunshine yesterday compensated us lu part for tho Arctic atmosphere of the three preceding days. The weather resumed Its spring like influences, over? coats and shawN could be laid aside with impu? nity, and as Willis once wrote, "A mouthful of the noon was delicious." The ladles were out on King street by brigades, and whatever may have been their previous complaint of King Frost, woman-like, they "hugged the offender and for? gave the offence"-sex to the last. UNITED STATES COMMISSIONER.-Edward Wright, Isaac Ptnckney and Frank Owens were 1 brought before Commissioner P?rteous, yester? day morning, charged with neglect ot their duty ' as managers, during the late election, at Uenlss Cross Roads precinct, In Beaufort County. The evidence against Wright showed thar, up to ll o'clock on thc day cf election, he did not require even the formality of on oath of any person who chose to vote, and he was forthwith committed, in default of ball, to jail, for trial at theJan aary term of the United States District Court. In the case- of rinckney and *ens, the absence- of material witnesses compelled a postponement of the examination, and they were accordingly re manded to jail until to-d&y, when their case will receive further investigation. CLUBS AND STARS.-The Mayor's Court pre? sented quite a lively appearance yesterday morn? ing, and thc docket was prodigiously long, which 8eldotBJ>efal!s this branch of our Judiciary. The violatWm of tho Mayor's holiday proclamation was a fruitful source or arrests, and the regular cases of Intoxication were greatly Increased by the jovial tendencies of the merry season. Thc appr?ciation of this tendency was observable lu the sentences ol the Mayor, and the votaries of the jolly god in almost every case escaped their usual sentence. The torpedo fines were largely in the majority, and the offence in all cases being glaring, and the offenders caught flagrance delic? ti*, out ol the- whole band, twenty-four In num? ber, only two c.-caped the proclaimed penalty of their amusement. Two escaped with a Une of $2 each. An aggravated case was visited with a floe of $10, and the remainder had to choose be? tween paying $5 for their amusement or going to the Heusc of Correction .'or Ave or ten days. The cases of "drunk and disorderly" were In general pardoned, and a line imposed only in the cases where resistance to the police was added to former offenee. Several cases of firing pistols, fighting and as? sault received appropriate fines. Twenty-two cows, found going at large,'were discharged on a deposit of as many dollars by the owners, and two others, older ofLiUders, were made to deposit $2 each before release. Lastly, a horse and cart, found at large, on Monday evening, In Spring street, were returned to the owner. Robert Johnson, arrested for vagrancy and being caught under suspicious circumstances, was sent to the House of Correction for twenty days aa a vagrant. Henry Freeman, one of the hands on the Steamer Emilie, was arrested Monday night for broaching the cargo. He stands committed for trial Wore Trial Justice Sctrroder tQ-day.

BARES IN TUE WOOD.-During tho cold snap on Thursday n;ght-and our reidera will remem? ber it was ronidthlng to sneeze at-two little fel? lows walk?! from a plantation to one or the land? ings of the steamer Emilie on the Santee. Re? turning, they were lost in thc dark, and night found them homeless. Fortunately each was pro? vided with a blanker, and, finding a soft spot on mother earth, they cuddled there industriously until morning. The 'igolden exhalations of the dawn" found them alive, but demoralized, and stiff as a pair of fence rails. DEATH OF REV. PHILIP GADSDEN.-The com? munity wm hear with pain that this aged divine, so long known in thc State in connection with the holy labors of the Episcopal church, has at last been gathered to his fathers. ? native of Charles? ton, born lo 1798, and educated partly at Yale Col? lege, he was ordained by Bishop Bowen In this city about fifty years ago. At first he devoted himselfto the duties of missionary life, but subse? quently became the rector or St. Paul's Parish and Summerville, where he remained until about six years ago, when he resigned on account or 111 health. Mr. Gadsden Buffered during the last six weeks, and died ou Monday at the house or his son, the soperlnteudent or Rev. Mr. Porter's school.

The remains will be taken :o Summerville to-day, to be interred near the Epis? copal Church of that village, of which he was the rector. DEATH OK JAMES W. GRAY, Esc?.-Our com? munity will be painel to learn that this veucru ble and useful citizen or Charleston passed away rrom earthly scenes yesterday morning. Few men have lived seventy-six years, the best part of a ' century, and crowded into it more of the true 1 capital of mauhood than did Mr. Gray. Born In 1 this city la 1704, he graduated in the South Caro? lina College when lt was under the administration ol the eminent President Maxcy. Immediately ' thereafter, he commenced the study or the Uw in Abbeville with his cousm. Benjamin Yancey, Sr., ' completing the same in Charleston, In the office ol Judge Huger, with whom Mr. Yancey had lormcd a professional connection. Among the college classmates of Mr. Gray were Governor McDuflle ' and Hon. Wm. C. Preston, and Mr. Gray took 1 eltherthe second or third honor. After graduating at the bar, he entered Into copartnership with ' Colonel Cross, but lu November, 1S29, he was elect- 1 ed master in equity, which office he retained until ' lt was abolished lu 1869. Thus for forty years, faithfully, and in a distinguished manner, he served the Interests of the public, and from all classes won the tribute which ls ever paid to hon- 1 est worth and eminent ability. The silver cord } was loosened only after he passed the alloted thtce ' score and ten cf man's life, but In all that lifo ho ' was engaged In writing In characters or light Chose tessons to whioh. wu <Jlro.ot joutU, ttuJ Uiuuo virtues which invite emulation. The runcral will 1 take place at half-post 1 o'clock, this afternoon, at 1 the Unitarian Church. 1 DEATH OF CAPTAIN WILLIAM CORRIE.-This ' well-known citizen of Charleston died at thc Milis House o:i Monday morning, about hair-past 7 1 o'clock. For several weeks be had ucea suffer? ing from an acute disease which threatened a ra? tal termination at any moment, and the result 1 was not therefore attended with surprise on the 1 part of either his physician or his friends. Few men lu this generation, have lived a more ' eventful career than Captain Corrie, and proba- ? bly no civilian who has not occupied public posl- 1 Mon was more widely known. His acquaint- : unces might be counted from Main? to California, : and they embraced many or the most distln- I gulshed men of the country. Born in Charleston I about the year 1817, he received a good English school education, and then entered upon commer? cial pursuits,.mauy of his contemporaries well < remembering thc time when he was a first-class j salesman tn a dry goods store on Klug street with ; his relative, Mr. George H. Milnor. It ls said that at that time he was oue of the few who command- ? ed the highest salaries paid for this kind of sev- I vice. La:er in ure, say about the year 1840, events ; called him to the Ci'y of Washington, where for ' nearly fifteen years he wielded an lufluence amoug members of Congress so potent, that he ? was regarded asonc of the cht Ls of the "lower I house." In this capacity, as a lobby member, l:c succeeded in securing the passage of several im? portant bills, involving the appropriai ion of large 1 sums of money, sud himself was liberally re- ( warded by those In whose behalf he acted. In ' oue instance he received as a fee tUty thousand 1 dollars, aud altogether met with a pecuniary and 1 political success quite unprecedented Ju those 1 days. 1 In every way, however, Captain Corrie was 1 peculiarly fitted to command and iufluencc men ' in the various stations of lire-especially men of the world, or handsome presence and graceful ' carriage, with manly qualities written In every lineament of his race; gifted as a conversational- 1 Ut and reminiscent; posses-lag a fund of anec- 1 dote, an extraordinary knowledge of huniau 1 nature, and a keen appreciation of the arts; charming as a host at lils own diuner table, whereon the luxury was almost boundless, he attracted around bim politicians, officers of the army and navy, and the most distinguished civil? ians of thc United States. Durlug this period he was largely Interested in and idenlifled with the yachtsmen of New York and the South, was frequently called upon to om. date as judge or referee In various matches, and thus became familiar with the sailing qualities of. the fastest pleasure boats on the coast. Bleat wii h abnndaut means, he purchased the best of these ihe now historic yacht Wanderer-and on one of his first cruises carried witu him several members of the Cabinet and other Washington celebrities. Political excitement on thc subject of slavery run? ning high at the time-abuut the year 1850-Capt. Corrie conceived thalde? of going ?o the coa t of Africa, taking in a cargo of slaves, and bringing them to the South. How he fitted up his beauti? ful craft, eluded the officials, yet ran boldly Into various ports, carrying the pennant or the New York Yacht Club aud wearing Its unirorm ; how he aroused suspicious ol a filibustering raid on South America, and had revenue cut? ters flying 'all about him, yet quietly slip? ped away, fulfilled his purpose and landed a cargo or negroes on an island In Georgia, with? out being first or last discovered, are .matters or ramiliar history. We only rercr to them to Ulustrate the bold, adventurous and Impulsive character of the man. Whatever he did, was done on a comprehensive scale. There was not u mean trait In his composition. In wealth he was prodigal; In poverty he was generous to his own hurt. He was true as steel, and in society exhib? ited the qualities which attracted and retained friends. His State hod no truer or more unsel? fish son, and his loss will be keenly felt by au un? usually large number of persons. The funeral took place yesterday morning, the services being performed by Rev. Mr. Elliott. MEETING OE CHT COUNCIL. The New License Bill.

The tali was opened at 7 o'clock precisely, and soon the Ut.ls ones, with eager faces and anticipating .he delightful evening in store for them, came :rowdIug in. No wonder, for notwithstanding their large number, every one of the scholars re? served a present or prize of some kind. In a short time the fine ball was densely crowd id. and sona there was not standing-room, so ' that a great mauy visitors were unable to gala j idml sion. ] Thc entertainment was opened by the scholars sloging a Christmas ode, accompanied on thc piauo ny Professor Otto Muller, who kindly volunteered his services, and added not a little to the effect er thc performance. Al the conclusion or thc ode a prayer was offered up by the Rev. L. Muller, thc kind and respected pastor of the school.

Bach socolar Iben drew a numbered ticket out of a hat. ind upon being present? d to thc teacher, the pi ixe called for by the number drawn was deliver? ed to thedrawer. Tills pleasant and exciting scene went on for some tim-, and prizes were awarded to three hundred and ii ft jr children of thc school. The yo jiig people were supplied during the per? formance with cakes and apples, and all seem to have enjoyed the evening's entertainment ina wonderrul degree. In the northwest corner or the hall stood a large Christmas tree, laden with A precious burden of fruit and ornaments seldom seed elsewhere than at a German resiival. It was lighted in the most beautiful manner with colored wax candles, and altogether got up In a style to do credit to the taste and fancy of the decorators.
