In Broad street, yt terday, of every shovelful of dirt pitched at tl cart, at least one-half found its way across tl road, converting brokers' offices into smaU Saht ras, and spoiling good clothes Without stint. B fore s i arise, this poor shovel practice might t unobjectionable, but such an amusement ac bal past 10 o'clock in the morning, with a stiff brec2 blowing, is very i>oor fun for suffering buslnes men. Merchants and brokers are willing enong to throw dust in the eyes cf each other in a Plcl wlcklan sense, but they do not care to have th operation performt d, in real earnest, at thee: pense or the municipal authorities.

The low unsightly buildings have been replaced by a fine ornamental structure, three stories In height, having a bold front on the Fay. The de? sign reflects credit on Mr. Devereux, the archi? tect, and the two stores occupied by Mr. Litschgl and Mr. B. K. -.Neufville can compete IQ good loots with any on the street.

Whit? worth, member of Parliament for Drogheda, Ire? land, .a partner in the highly respectable and well known cotton Arm of Benjamin Whitworth i Bros., of Manchester, England, has left with us some documents relative to the port of Fleet? wood, situated some forty miles north of Liver? pool. Ic appears from the figures given by Whit worth A Bros., that upon shipments to Fleetwood, ns compared with Liverpool, there ia a saving In expense of discharging ships and handling the cargo or nearly fifty per cent. Before the late war Whitworth Bros. influenced through Fleet? wood no less than fifty three cotton ships carry? ing over 90,000 bales. Eighteen of these ships were owned by their firm. Charleston has sent pnly one cargo, that of thc Cleopatra, In 1857, nut Savannah, In isei, sent twelve cotton ships to Fleetwood. Whitworth Bros. are now endeavor? ing to direct attention again to Fleetwood and ts advantages, and have engaged the Al British Murk Adriatic, with a full cargo, for that port, f hey are open to receive some two hundred bales m freight, as per advertisement la another col? umn, and a good chance presents itself to the peo? ple of Charleston of testing practically the soundness*- and correctness of Messrs. Whit north's figures, which, by the way, they are per? fectly willing to guarantee and strictly adhere to. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE FOOT OP BROAD STREET.-Cnder the special appropriation of ?3O0O, made last yearby the City Council, the ivork of making a wall or pleasure ground out of he old popd, enclosed by Bred, Rutledge, Beau 'jin and Lynch streets, is rapidly progressing. This pond was bequeathed to the city on the ex? press condition that itshould be put to this use, ind some action on the part of the City Council ivas uecessary to conform to the condition of the levis?, and prevent tts going over to some one Mse in the alternative. The present small appro? priation ls being Judiciously expended, under the lirection and supervision of Alderman Potter, ivlio ls chairman of the committee, aud the re? sults are plainly perceptible In the changed ap? pearance of things on the pond. A large number pf laborers are employed, who, by means of a inrrow pathway or boards laid upon the yielding ind treacherous mud, make their way with wheel panow and spade to the centre of the pond.. The mud ls then dug and transported in the wheel? barrows to thc edge, where lt ls deposited. This ivork has been in progress for some five or six weeks, and a solid embankment, fully thirty feet wide, has been thrown up on a level wi;h thc sidewalk along a part of Broad and Rut erige streets. At first, lt was intended to make his embankment one hundred feet wide along :ach of the enclosing streets, having a beautiful iheet of water In the centre of the square; but as he present appropriation is much too small to ac ?ompiish this, and the city ts sot over-rich, the ilzcof the embankment has been decreased and hat of the shee. or water proportionality Increas sd. The mud, when hardened by exposure to thc mn, will make a very firm foundation, on which ?arth will be thrown to Insure the production of rets, grass and shrubbery. The lake in the een? ie Is also to bc-but that is all In thc future. Thc n tem ion is to make* lt a pleasant promenade for .he citizens and a charming play-ground for the poiing people or the city. Cndcr ruture approprl ltiona wo may look to see this accomplished, and me present generation which toddles about with ioll-bablcs and short frocks may live to take a overs' promenade by moonlight over this promis? ing expanse of mud.

JAIL-BIRDS FLOWN.-Late on Friday night, four of the prisoners conflned ,in the House of Correction-Joe . Williams, John Washington, Tony Brown and Robert Jones, alias Sugarfoot made their escape, and have not since been heard of. The matter was Investigated next morning by Captain Hendricks, when it was found that the locks of the door had not been broken, and could not have been picked. It ls supposed to have been leit open either through the connivance or carelessness of one of the other prisoners, who has lately been acting as the assistant of the keeper. After getting through the door, the.fugi tivea went across the hospital yard, and climbed the fence on Mazyck street. A strict search was Instituted as soon an their decamping became known, but the fugitives effected so rapid change of base that it has, up to this time, proved fruit leas. The quartette are old In viliany, and, as the profession express lt, "mighty sharp on the lift." The stealing and robbing, instances of which were of lato becoming uuusual, will prob? ably experience a revival under the effects of this reinforcement to the gang of thieves. Strong locks and careful servants had better be pit in requisition at once. TRIBUTE OE RESPECT.

The deceased was au old, worthy and efficient member, who, in years gone by, performed his arduous duties as a perfect fireman, and though of late years his vocation called him to another sphere, yet he was ever eager to learn of the wel? fare and prosperity of bis company, of which ha was an honorary member. His heart was true in its pulsation, his friend Bhlp was sincere, and - his constant and devoted attention to his aged parents in their declining years, will plead for his entrance into the realms of eternal bliss.
