She has been placed in the hands of a skilful boat wright, and when repaired lt is un<i?rstood that she will be re ?eived by the club. This Is good news for the lovers of boat-racing, and it ls now probable that the long expected race between the two clubs will come off about the second week in September. DISTURBANCE OS KING STREET-On Satur? day afternoon, about 4 o'clock, a colored maa named Charles Bracy, after indulging his love for the ardent by numerous drinks, became very independent and rolled through the rain In Ring street, making as much noise as he tw^ could. A policeman arrested Charles, and was about taking him to the Guardhouse when a colored friend of the prisoner's came up and attempted to rescue him from the clutches of the officer. The latter did his duty, and In a few moments the crowd saw two instead of one prisoner on the way to the Guardhoi-.se. They were brought before the Mayor yester? day morning, and each sentenced to paya fine of five dollars or spend five days in the House of Correction. ASSUMING JURISDICTION; -A warrant was yesterday Issued by Trial Justice T. J. Mackey for the arrest of Henry C. Inwood, upon the affidavit of Alexander Singleton, in which the following statement is made : That on the 11th day of August, at Corn HUI, on tho Dorchester Road, H. C. Inwood, intending to defraud de? ponent ol lils money and chattels, did falsely pretend to be a trial Justice, he well knowing that he had never been commissioned a trial ' justice in this State, and by means of said pre? tence he caused deponent to be arrested on a charge ot larceny, and pretended to try de? ponent. That he then gave judgment on the said charge, and did, by virtue of this judg? ment, unlawfully obtain $10 from the defend? ant as a fine Imposed with intent to defraud him. The defendant resides In the county, and his statement has,not jet been beard. The trial Justice is moving carefully in the matter, and the arrest will hot be made until the charges are better authenticated than at present. As APPEAL FROM THE MAYOR.-Thomas Fer? guson was brought bet?re the Mayor yester gr day morning and charged with being di s or. derly, and as Faull lng Officer Hernandez while In the discharge of his duty.' After the UBua; preliminaries, examining the officer, ?tc, the prisoner was sen tenced to pay a fine of SID or spend "twenty - days in jail. Thinking' this ratherf one-sided; the defendant appealed to a trial justice; fend was referred to-Trial-Justice T. J. Mackey. The prosecuting officer stated-; that Ferguson had, without provocation, as? saulted-and struck 'hInj 'several blows with his fist while he. waa\aitempting to discharge his duty as an officer and arrest the prisoner. A number of witnesses were examined, and at ' the conclusion the justice found the prisoner 'mot guilty-' of an ass&aitaud battery, "not galrty^ofreBlBttng ah officer, but '.guilty* OT a breach of the peace. He was thereupon dis? charged with a fine ol $1. It was Intimated the justice thatif the ?relative positions ol prosecutor and d?fendant in this case had been>v?raed; his decision would have been different CLUBS A.VD STARK.-Daphue Ak-Vind*rt the "city s?peadJary7n*?odged ?or being drunk and unable to take care ol bsrseli in Church Btreet, was sentenced to p"y a fine of ten dollara or spend twenty in her usual boarding place, the House of Correction." With a grim smile at the idea of her paying the alternative fine, she took her departure wilh a proper escort for the House. Thomas Brown, arrested for being drunk and disorderly in a store at the corner of Broad and King streets, forfeited a deposit of five dollara lor his non-appearance In court. J. H. Kahlen, for being intoxicated and rais? ing a disturbance in Cumberland street, was sentenced to pay afine of five dollara or spend five days , in jaiL ( John Jenkins, arrested for stealing a lot of clothing, was referred to a trial Justice for ex? amination. Julia Pink ney, a colored damsel, with a noisy A and bibulous jdispos? ion, was arrested for va W' graney and sent to a trial justice to answer a warrant against Uer. Two goaL?. lound astray in the Hall and in? juring- the trees, were delivered to the owner oh payment of a :dne of one dollar for each. 'Two thirsty souls who were trying to keep ont the wet with a free supply of the ardent, found their way lo the Guardhouse, and were discharged on pleading the "Erst offence." i FEARFUL. STABBING AFFRAY.-On Saturday sight, between 9 and 10 o'clock, a stabbing affray occurred at the southwest corner of Laurens street and East Bay, between Jerry Co} e m an ' and David Den, two white men. The result to the last named will probably be se? rious/ Den was'in'Mr. Wehmann's store, pur? chasing some little things, after which he turned to leave the shop. Owing to the stormy weather there was but one of the store doora open, and In this stood Coleman, with one hand resting on each side. Without say? ing anything, Den pushed out, and, as he got on the Btreet, Coleman drew a large knife and jumped upon bim. A scuffle ensued, and be? fore the two could be separated the knife had been used to some purpose. Den received a severe cut in the right hand, two stabs in the left arm, and two gashes In his head. He was immediately taken up and carried to his home, where the services of a skilful surgeon were at once procured. Yesterday he was lying in a critical condition, and Trial Justice Levy, having been sent ior, went to his bedside and took hlB affidavit, from which the above facts are taken. Den ls represented to be a quiet. Inoffensive man, and, as such, has a high A character among his associates at Bennett's * lumber yard, where he has been working for over twenty years. Coleman has been arrest? ed, and has.been committed until the result of Den's injuries has been ascertained, when his eAmtnation will tak? plac?." THE GREAT STORM. A Te nae lo aa Visitor - Compar?tlvi ly Little Damage In tue City. The great Etorm which began on Friday ex? pended most of its force during the first forty-eight hours, but lt still lingers along the coast, and yesterday was another very dis? mal and'dlsagreeable day. The sun was ob? scured and the wind continued brisk, although not so high as during the two previous days, and there were several light falls of ralnin clud.ng one which commenced at about 9 P. IL and lasted through the evening. The wind was nearly due north all day and varied In velocity from ten to .fourteen miles per hour. The barometer at 7 A. M. indicated 29.80 degrees, fell to 29.76 at 5 P. M., and rose again to 29.78 by 9 P. M., and the relative humidity of the atmosphere rose betweens and 9 P. M. from 82 to 90 per cent., which would seem to indicate that the rain of ast evening was the clearing-up shower, as it is to be hoped may prove to be the case. Very little additional damage by the storm was reported yesterday, and it seems that outside of the injury that may have been done to the crops on the islands, which remains to be proved, that but little damage was occasioned by the storm in this vicinity. An old house on Sullivan's Island was blown down during the gale of Saturday, and three of the vessels load? ing with phosphates in Bull River dragged their ? anchors on Friday night, during the heavy blow, and went ashore on the south bank. One of them was almost loaded. No damage to the vessels ls apprehended, as they Ileon a muddy bank, and it is thought they will float off at the approaching spring tides. In the city the principal damage was caused by the leakage o? the roofs. * The Almshouse leaked; the Courthouse suffered to the extent of several hundred dollars, ewing to the forc? ing In of the library wlndovs by the wind, and private residences in various parts of the city sustained more or less damage, but no case ot any serious Injury has occurred. The Storm In Savannah-Wharves and Streets Submerged. The Savannah papers of Sunday contain full account g of the effects ol the storm In that city, which scow them to have been more disastrous to property than even the tempest of Septem? ber 8th. 1851. Streets were inundated, cellars flooded, whole plantations submerged, houseB unroofed and in some cases blown down, and many thousand dollars of damage done to the c ty Itself and to the growing crops In the vicinity. The public works about the city are said to be damag 1 to the extent of one hundred thousand dollars. The main sewer building, on East Broad street, a canal near the Thunderbolt shell road, and several drains were torn up for hun? dreds of feet, destroying months of labor. The Springfield plantation, and Lamar's, Law? ton's and other farm?, were completely Bub merged, and the crops on those places render? ed a total loss. Culverts and embankments Were swept away on the Central, Atlantic and Gulf, and Savannah, Skldaway and Seaboard Railroads, causing serious losses and much de? tention of trains. The large cotton ware? house of Dr. Clark, on the corner of West Broad and Broughton streets, which had Just been completed, was damaged to the extent of $12,000, by the water flooding the inner cel? lar to the height of the flooring, and three steam fire engines were employed at pumping it out. Along some parts of the water front the tide rose four feet above the wharves, and large quantities of lumber, cotton, ?c., were floated off and lost. A large number of cattle pasturing In the fields below the city also got afloat, and many of them were drown? ed. Two brick yards on the canal, and the sawmill of Butler & Hardwick, each suffered many hundred dollars damage by the flood. In addition to these specific cases of damage which they report, the Savannah papers stat? that the most substantial residences facing the north were flooded. -The streets looked like one sea, and the winds howled and roared, tearing away everything exposed to their fury. -Toe.: streets-"were perfectly flooded,-and in some parts of the city the water stood two or three feet deep in the principal thoroughfares. Boats of light draft were paddling about the city, and or account speaks o? several persons taking a s wi m around the Baptist Ch ur ch. : . ; : I ? _' ? I ! THE .RANDOLPH RIFLEMEN.-The target ex? cursion of ibis company, which had been post? poned from Monday" last, on account of the weather, took place yesterday. T/ue company assembled early In the inornlng at Military Hall, numbering nearly sixty men, under the. Command of Captain R. B. Artson. Their uni? form ot blue, trimmed, with green, and b'lack slouch hat, with green feather, made a hand? some show. The company was Joined soon after by the Carolina Light Infantry, under Captain H. C. Minott, parading about forty men. The whole line, preceded by Mitchell's Brass Band, paraded through Meeting, Broad and East Bay streets, attracting much alten, tlon. They marched down to the loot of Mar? ket Btreet, and taking the steamer St. Helena, arrived without accident, notwithstanding the threatening weather, at the picnic grounds. The business oi the day here commenced, and the several handsome prizes put up by the Randolph Riflemen were contested for and won a follows: First officer prize, half dozen silver forks, won by Captain H. C. Minott, of the Carolina Light Infantry. Second officer prize, half dozen silver forks, won by Captain R. B. Artson, of the Randolph Riflemen. First company prize, a Bllver goblet, won by Private James Wright, of the Carolina Light Infantry. Second company prize, a silver cup, won by Corpora] Green, of the Randolph Riflemen. Third company prize, a pair of vases, won by Private R. J. Murray, of the Carolina Light Infantry. Fourth company prize, a handsome China cup and saucer, won by Corporal Pinckney, of the Randolph Riflemen. A set of silver castors, for the best off-hand single shot, was won by Captain R. B. Artson, of the Randolph Riflemen. A sltVer-plated pitcher, for the second best off-hand shot, was won by Sergeant WeBton, of the Randolph Riflemen. The Carolina tin cup was won by Private Simmons. The shooting was only interrupted by din? ner, which was discussed with much relish un? der the Inspiring strains of Mitchell's Brass Band, and about 8 o'clock the companies re? turned to the city highly pleased with the en? joyment of the day, and the success of their ex? cursion. They were escorted to their places ol rendezvous by about five hundred darkeys whom the music of the band attracted, and disbanded just in time to avoid a telling shower. CLOTHES THIEF AT WORK.-Susan Gibbs, a colored girl, was arrested yesterday morning, by the detectives, on a warrant from Trial Jus? tice Magrath, charged with stealing numerous articles of clothing. They were tracked by the officers to the place where they had been disposed of by Susan, and a gold brooch and several handsome dresses and oversklrts be? longing to different parties were recovered. These may be seen at the detective office. Susan is held for examination belore the trial justice this morning. IMPROVING THE WATER FRONT. An Important Enterprise tn Progress at the Union Wharves. One of the most important improvements of the water irent of this city that has been un? dertaken lor years is now in progress just above the foot of Market street and between the present Union wharves and the wharf of the Mount Pleasant Ferry Company. A con? siderable inlet has existed here which cuts off Concord street from the Union wharves near? ly to the new Customhouse, and which 1B now to be utilized for business purposes by filling it up and extending a flue pier out from the new front thus obtained to a distance of 300 feet. To effect this; a strong bulkhead o? palmetto timber, .224 feet long, has been thrown across the mouth of the little in? let, and all the space inside of this, which includes an area of over 50,000 square feet, will be filled in and covered over with sheds and warehouses for the accommodation of the cotton trade, and the general business of the steamship company. This will also form a continuation of Concord street, BO BS to make lt a direct line from Hasel to Market streets; and tte new Btreet will, no doubt, be lined on both eldee, in the course of a year or two, with 'substantial business houses. The new pier extends irom about the centre of this bulk? head out Into the river, and ls already about half completed, lt ls beiog built in the most thorough manner by Mr. Robert Hunter, and will be three hundred feet long by City feet wide, leaving between it and Union wharf No. 3 a slip one hundred and fifty feet wide, and having twenty feet of water up to the bulkhead. The pier ls built upon piles fifty ieet long, and cased with tar paper and zinc weighing one and a half pounds to the square loot from the bed of the river to and above high water mark. The superstructure ol the pier will be o? the most substantial kind, and it will be covered with a good one story shed, It ls expected that this pier will be completed and a road filled in to connect it with East Bay by the middle of October at the latest, but the completion o? the rest of the improvement will demand considerable more time, and will be dependent 'to eome degree upon the' growth of the commercial necessities of this part ol the city. HOME INSURANCE COMPANY OF NEW YORK. We call attention to the card of this company, In another column. It will be seen that Major Hutson Lee has been appointed local agent at this p'ace, to succeed the late Z. B. . Oakes, Esq. This ls one of the largest and best man? aged companies In America, and its reputa? tion for liberal dealings and Just and prompt settlements is second to none. Starting with a capital of half million, lt bas, by prudent management, accumulated in sixteen 1 years nearly five millions of cash assets, thus offer? ing the beet possible security to the assured. We congratulate Major Lee on being placed In charge of such a company, and the company on securing the services of so energetic and reliable an agent. Major Jobn C. Whitner, of Atlanta, Ga., 1B the general agent of the company, and has al? ready In Georgia, Florida, Alabama and Mis? sissippi won the confidence of all as an expe? rienced underwriter and honorable gentle? man. He Is descended from a family well known throughout this State, and bas identi? fied this company with our people by arrang? ing with the Home office that all settlements for claims are left entirely with bim. We are pleased to know that the Interest of the com? pany In South Carolina have lately been' placed under his charge. DELIVERED TO ORDER.-Adam Wright, a colored youth, was arrested by the detectives last night, charged with obtaining goods un? der false pretences. The prisoner was in the employ ol Mr. Edward Lowndes, and bad often been sent to a grocer at the corner ol King and George streets with an order for goods. Yesterday he went as usual with an order, got the goods, and had safely concealed them la his house, when it was discovered that Mr. Lowndes had not given the order, roe detectives soon worked up the matter, discovered the goods-, and lodged Adam in the Guardhouse. Housekeepers may take a note, and thereby probably account for any .inusual increase In the grocery bill. PDT THE ENGINES, AX WORK l-Are the city MithOrltl??
