Perry a handsomely printed phampiilet containing the rules or this society, together with a list or officers and mem? bers from 1829 to 1889, and an historical sketch or the organization. MAIL IRREGULARITIES-.-A 'subscriber at Grahamsvife, on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, complains that two copies of THE NEWS out of three usually fall to reach their destina? tion. The fault ls not in this office, and the com? plaint has been referred to the mall agent. FOREIGN EXPORTS.-The fine British ship Eliza Everett, which has just been freighted ror Liverpool by Messrs. B. S. Rhett A Sons, and ls now ready ror sea, has on board the following important cargo, viz : 316 bags sea Island cotton, 2358 bales upland cotton, 323 sacks cottcn seed, and 325 tons phosphate. MART STUART'S " PRAYER.-The beautiful rayer written by Mary Stuart on the eve of her execution ls doubtless familiar to our older read? ers. We print lt, however, for the benefit of the rising generation. It ls as follows: "O, Domine Deus, Speravl in te, 0, Jesu, ml care, nunc litiera me. In doris catenls, In miseris poenls, Desidero te l Languendo, gemendo, et genuflectendo, Adoro, imploro. Dt liberas me F? FEMALE INTOXICATION.-On Monday evening Emma Nichols, a white woman or a very disrepu? table character, got on one or her periodical sprees in Beaurain street. A1 ter drinking herseir into a beastly state of Intoxication, she indulged ui a series or whoops and yells, varied by the most disgusting demonstrations. She was arrested In the midst or her orgy and locked np for the night at the Guardhouse. Her frequent confinement at this place enabled her to come before the Mayor, wita more than usual effrontery, and she was sentenced to the House of Correction ?for ten days. THE LADIES' GUNBOAT.-The sunken Con? federate ram Georgia, better known during the late war to the people ot this State as the "Ladle3" Gunboat," (->hc havlug been ?julie by contribu? tions from the patriotic wives, mothers and daughters of the soldiers of the lost canse,) ts aliout to be removed from the river abreast of Fort Jackson, where she was sunk by her crew on the evacuation of Savannah by General Hardee, In December. 1S54. Captain Abell, who has charge of the work, has blown off the Iron roor or the djeorgia with powdeg, and by the aid or careful and experienced divers, will soon succeed In re? moving the obstructions completely. REV. GEORGE C. NEEDHAM.-This esteemed and worthy minister left our city, m the steamer Charleston, yesterday. A growing interest has been awakened by his services, which have been characterized by the utmost simplicity and fervor. Judging by the ordinary standard, no one would describe Mr. Needham as an orator, or even as a revivalist. He adopts no arts of excitement, creates no sensations, uses no brilliant climaxes and antitheses, never apostrophises the earth or storms the heavens; nor ls he specially charac? terized by what the French call "onction." He is simply a herald of truth which he believes with all his heart; which he enjoys himself, and would fain communicate to others, and ia which he be? lieves a divine power to dwell. With those doc? trines of religion which cluster around the cross, he ls experimentally conversant. He Illustrates them by striking Incidents-not a few or them passages from his own history. And so lus dis? courses are al! or them rresh, and give to ramlllar truths thc garb and charm of novelty. Besides, Mr. Needham is rapid and fluent, with a good share of common sense, and of-much amiability of temper, and familiar with Scripture and with modern devotional poetry, which last he uses with effect both In his prayers and sermons. Th? influence of Spurgeon ls suggested by his collo? quial style of delivery, and his method or "Jraw lng out the sweetness or a text." We understand that his departure is but temporary, and that he ls expected to return aud resume his labors lu the course of a week or ten days. In the mean? time, we learn that prayer meetings at 12 o'clock will be maintained in the lecture-room or the Citadel Square Church daily until his return. These special services thc tender Interest awaken? ed by Mr. Needham's visit encourages. Hotel Arrivals-January lil. CHARLESTON HOTEL. Leon Rheinstrom, Philadelphia; A. J.

After a lengthy examination, the defendant was acquitted, thc evidence adduced not being suffi? cient to sustain even the charge of an assault. COTTON GROWN IN 1850.-At the office of Messrs.

In an unsuspecting moment he was lured dowu to the Guardhouse by a man dressed ia blue, and was locked up.

A colored woman named Dinah Lake was brought to the Guardhouse by a practical friend, whom she contd not convince that she was an In? spired prophetess, and was locked np on the charge of being Insane.

' J_ A FIGHTING WIFE AND A JEALOUS ' RIVAL. On Monday night, about 12 o'clock,'a colored wy | man hamed Jane Smith, suffering aU the tor? ments of jealousy and the Ares of an unrequited love, entered the premises of. her successful rival, on Calhoun street, who had lately been "married to the object or both their affections. Ascending a long and narrow flight or Btalrs, ?he entered' the apartment or the sleeping couple, and seizing the Inconstant object or her love by the collar, a? tempted to drag him out or his bed. His better hair was on the alert la a moment, and recogniz? ing her old rival, Jumped out or bed and pitched into the Intruder.

KATHLEEN MAVOURNEEN.-There have been Tew larger audiences at the Academy this winter than greeted Mr. and Mrs. Watkins last night, and certainly none more appreciative. The acting was superb, and lt was no mean treat to observe the eager Interest with which the attentive au? dience watched the development or the affecting story of Kathleen and her faithful, constant Terence. "Kathleen ^Mavourneen" ls a fine drama, one that will never grow old; and there are few stories represented on the stage that re? flect more credit on thc'lrlsh. character. For this reason lt ls always weloome l, and when played as lt was last night, heartily applauded. Mrs. Watkins sang well, and was repeatedly encored. The compauy ls a very good one. and the seve? ral minor characters were all well sustained. Mr. Watkins merits the rullcst success, and lt alfords us great pleasure to find that his efforts are pro? perly appreciated by our citizens, the full houses every night being the most substantial proor they can give him or their approbation.
