It is agreed on all sides that the yellow fever in Charleston ls on its last legs. The coo), bracing weather ls lining the germs of disease, no new cases are heard of, and the whole city ls growing cheerfully bright. Some leading physicians, have advised their parents that they may safely come back to Charleston, and, every day, a large num? ber of refugees return thankfully to their homes. During the last two days not even one death from yellow fever has been reported. lt will be noticed that the City Council have or? dered a day of prayer and thanksgiving on ac? count of the abatement of the fever, in this we can all Join with hearty good-will. But Scott's impudent proclama-ion will find few ob ervers outside of the Ring, who seem to think it a pious aa J patriotic duty to plunder the people. Tbe First Frost. Trfcrapid change in the weather on Frilay eve? ning, fol owed by the brisk coll on thc following day, has no doubt prepared o-r readers for the annouLcement that the first fr st of the season appeared in our city yesterday morning. Even the moat incorrigib'e unbelievers on the subject admitted, with blue noses, that a few d.grees lower would brlcg the frost, but those In the up? per part or the city were convinced by an actual sight of the long wlshed-for visitor. On the sheds ?and in the yard of the south Carolina Railroad. freight depot a good frost was visible at an early bour Sunday morning, ard men from up the road report lt th.cker and heavier ct a distance from the city. Heavy frosts are repotted in Chester and Columbia, and sever 1 "re.iable witnesses,'' according to a Savannah journal, vouch that their city was visited by a frost on Friday night. These reports are not unexpected, as any close observer of the thermometer for the past three days will admit. On Thursday night or rather Friday morning, the minimum point to which the thermometer fell was 63. Ou Saturday lt tonched 47, and on Sun? day 46. The h'ghest point reached by the quick? silver at Dr. Blackman's store on those daya were (at 2 o'clock P. M) Friday 72, saturday 62, and Sunday 60 degrees. The difference be? tween the temperature on Friday and saturday averaged ten degrees, and this sudden fall shows how quickly the cold ls coming when lt ls read.-. As cold as it was on Saturday night ten o'clock, the thermometer was three de. rees lower lau night at the same hour, with every prospect if reaching a much lower point this morning than any lt has hitherto touched. A good frost ia in store'for this morning. The people are pre? pared, for the worst. Let lt come. Tits STEAMSHIP SOUTH CAROLINA, with her j accustomed punctuality, reached her pier in this city, from Kew York, early yesterday aomlng, and will aaa hence on next Thursday, as adver ued. AMUSEMENTS AT TBE ACADEMY.-Horace Lingard, the Protean comedian, will begin an en? gagement at the Academy of Music to-day week.

ACCIDENT ON BOARD THE STEAMER CITT POINT.-The Savannah Adveitlser saysibat about eight o'clock on >aturday miming, as the steamer City Point waa on her way io that port from Cha. leaton, Mr. Robert Sassard, the second tngl ne r, was struct ia the Lead by the revolving crank. Upon arriving at Savannah the services of Dr. Read were obtained, who pronounced t..e skull to be uninjured, although the Injury to the scalp was quite severe. ELLIPTICAL.-On Saturday night two colored men came to blows In the Market, and one of them struct the ether In the month, inflicting a severe cut. The wounded man, who proved to be Henry Draine, was taken to the Guardhouse, where the difficulty he experiencad in articula? ting was explained by the ract that his upper lip was cut completely throngh, from the left of the nose to the mouth. He refused to tell who strack him, and was discharged, to right himself before a ulai Justice. He was sent t > a surgeon to aave the wound sewed up, and the blood being staunched, the sufferer was soon doing well. SWEETWINK LS TROUBLE.-On Friday after? noon, a policeman came upon a party of colored men on East Bay, who were epeat:n? In a dis? orderly manner, and threatened a serious dis? turbance. He ordered them t o dispers e and move on, when one of the party left off his discussion, and turning upon the policeman, vented hts rage In language more emphatic than polite. The policeman immediately arrested the man who was creating the disturbance, and lodged him in the Guardhouse, where Le gave his name as Ed ward Sweeiwlne. De waa brought belora the ?yor on Saturday morning, and after an ex ijnat lc n, was sentenced to pay a floe or two dollars, or go to the House of Correction for ten days.

Three comfortable iassenger coaches, at. tached to the engine S. C. Millett, named after the superintendent of the road, received the party and took them, after a pleasant ride, to the an? cient town of Beaufort. They here repaired to the Saxton House, where a handsome entertain? ment added Its persuasive powers In drawing forth the genial spirits or the excursionists. The occasion was enlivened by a happy Interchange of sentiment; and appropriate remarks, touching upon the event, were made by s. C. Millett, Esq, superintendent, and George Gage, Esq.. engineer or the Port Royal Road, C. (S Gadsden, Esq., superintendent of the SavannatTand Cha-leaton Railroad, aad Wm. Elliott, Esq.

At the conclusion of the festivities the party, among whom were quite a number of ladles, again took their train and glided rapidly back to the station on the Savannah and Charleston road whence they had departed. The road la built on the live foot gauge, and has a branch or fourteen or fif? teen miles long towards Augusta, it is the deter? mination of the company to complete this branch at an early day. The forty miles completed from Yemassee run through Barnwell county, a rich cotton-growing section of the State. The road, >4jfes far aa completed was oienei for business on Thursday last, and trains now leave Port Royal and the other end of the road, connecting dally at Yemassee with the trains on the Savannah and Charleston Railroad, to and from Charleston and savannah.

Th* "ommittoe on accounts reported that they had t cue through a lar^e number of hills wh ch had been submitted to them. Of these they had signed seme for pnyment and others had been re turned, the proper vouchers rot accompanying them. Alderman O'Neill introduced a bill, duly en grossed, which had been under consideration by the old Council, to empower the Board of Flealth of the City of Charleston to create a permanent fun*, and Tor the purpose of rendering thc City Hospital self-sustaining. Alderman Voigt remarked that the bill came properly under thc head of "unfinished bnsl ness'' of the committee of which he was the chairman, and that lt seemed tetter to leave lt over until his committee was ready to repart In contection with this matter, the Mayor read an explanatory communication from Or. Lebby, Bhowlng the reasons for the bi l, and the method in which its provisions could be carried out. On motion, the communication, together with the bill, was left to the committee on unfinished business. Alderman O'Neill remarked that during the laBt one or two meetings of the late admtnis ra? tion, numerous petitions had been sent Into Council, which had nf. ver since been heard from. AB a matter of justice, the pe itioners should be notified to renew their petitions. Alderman Yo pt said the commute on unfinish? ed bus ness had determined upon this course, noti? fying the petitioners to renew, and that they would be ready to report shortly. The Mayor read a communkaton from Dr. F. M. R .benson, president of the Medical Soctet?, stat, log that he had been instructed by the board of trustees of Shirrs'3 Dispensary to rorward the following resolutlo. a. adopted by the beard ata special meeting on he 9:h Instant : Resolvrd, That tn consequence ol the depreci? ation of the assets in tr.e hands of the uns ee?, the repairs absolutely necessary on the property owned by the Instiiutlon, the board will be com? pelled on the 1st o? January next to elect but one physician f~r the Dispensary. Resowed That the secretary Inform the City Council of the above actbn. in order that pro? vision may te made for the election of a pbyelclan to supply the health disirict left vacant. It ?as also suggested that the health district to be filled by the city had better be the eastern division, as the property and office of tie Dlspen. pern ary were t.mated in the west rn division, and lt was require! that the physician elected by the Dispensary should reside within the limits or the district. On motion of Alderman Pelzer, the matter was received as Information. The Mayor next read a communication from the chief and assistant chiefs of the Fire Depart mentBtating that, asa committee, they trans? mitted the following resolutions, paa-ed on the preceding evening at a meeting or the committees of the steam fire engin ecompanles, and Hook and Ladder Nos. 1 and 2: Resolved, That the Mayor and Aldermen here Bpectiully invited to review the fire com?anle* on their line of march on the 17th inst., in honor of tue reception of the Washington Fire Company of Wilmington, Delaware.

Alderman Sweegan read a petition, which he had found noon his desk and did not know whence it came, asking that the committee on contracts be instructed to advertise for proposals to repair the building known as the old engine house in Hay ne street. The petition was referred back to the alderman for investigation. Alderman O'Neill, lu consideration of 'te favor? able report and action of the Howard Associa? tion, and the general abatement of the jellow fever, offered the fol owing: Resolved, That the Mayor be requested to Issue his proclamation, announcing a day of prayer and thanksgiving to the Giver of all good gilts tor Ula mercies and noun;eons favo:s, so liberally mani rested during the past year. The resolution wa* unanimously adopted, an i the Mayor stated that hewoull appoint the day by proclamation. Alderman Voigt moved that the clerk of Coun? cil advertise for estimates for contracts Tor el'y scavengers as prescribed by the ordinance rati? fied on the 10th or January, 1858. All bids to be handed In on the 21st Instant at 12 M., and be directed to the committee on contracts. An amendment, proposing the Nth instead or the 2lst, was offered and accepted, and the reso? lution as amended was adopted. Alderman Garden moved that the bat - h or bills handed in by the treasurer be referred to the committee on accounts. Adopted. BILLS. The bill to amend an ordinance entitled an or? dinance to establish a health department, and for other purposes, ratified December IB, 1865; also to repeal an ordinance for the same purpose, ratified May 13,1871, was taken up for Its second reading, and was read by sec: lons. In this connection the letter ( f Dr. Robertson, with the resolutions or the trustees < f Shlrra Dispensary, were consider.d and Alderman Sweegan propo-ed to amend the bill by adding an addi Ional physician for the eastern division Wards 1 and 3-of the city. The bill and amendment were discussed at length, when Alderman Taylor offered the follow? ing resolution: Resolved. That the Mayor appoint a Join'com? mittee ol one alderman irom each ward to whom than be r ferrcd the bil's relating to the board ol health, the city registrar, the city apothecaries and the city physicians, to consider and report to the Ci undi what legislation ls necessary In regard to those offices. The resolution was adopted, and the Mayor ap? pointed thc following committee: Alderman Taylor, chairman, and Aldermen O'Neill, Kenny. M.chael-, Moran, Garden, Pelz r und Slgwald. The t lil to amend an ordinance to abolish the oflJceB or assessor and assistant as-.essor, and to createthe efflce or appraiser and assistant ap? praiser, ?as taken up and read for the second time by sections. An amendment making the time for the election of the e officers the same ss that of the otter city officers w?s ajcepteJ, and th.- bill pa sei to its third reading. The bill to amend sn ordinance to establish the office of chimney contractor, ratified January 16, 1866, on motion o? Alderman Voigt received its third reading and was passed. On motion or Alderman Voigt the title of the bill was changed to an ordinance, and lt was ordered to be propeily engrossed for ratification. Tte bill to reorganize the street department of Charleston, to alter and amend the office of city inspector, and to create an additional city inspec? tor, received Its third reading by its title, was passed and ordered tobe engrossed tor ratifica? tion. The bill to alter and amend the ordinance re. lating to the city guard and police force of Charleston, and to fix t'.:e pay of ihe officers and member* or the same, was next taken np and re celved KB third reading by the'title. The bill not being amendable, Alderman Kenny stated ihat he, with several others, had misnn t erstcod one or two clauses in the bill, and did not know that the pay or the policemen was to be reduced to twenty-five and thirty odd dollars per month, and moved to lay the bin on the table, calling for the ayes and noes. A rule of Council requires that three aldermen shall rise to entitle the ayes and noes to be called, and that number not rising, the vote had to be taken as usual, viva voce. This having been done, the bill passed Its third reading by a vote of eleven to three, and was or? dered to be engrossed. The bill to amend an ordnance to abolish the offices of assessor and assistant assessor, and to create ihe offices or appraiser and assist? ant appraiser, was again ta?tn up, and having ? received its third reading by the title, was passed and ordered to be engrossed for ratifica non. Alderman Taylor asked whether the records of the late Connell meetings would bc written np by the next rr gear meeting, and m-.ved that, if j nece.-sary, assistant clerical aid should be pro? vided.

J Hon. Geo. W. Miller, Superintendent insurance Department, Slate of New York: PEAR SIR-The failure of many Insurance com? panies by the Chicago fire, after assurances had been given that they were able to pay all de? mands, and to pursue their business, has Justified an apprehension In the public mind, and perhaps In your own, which lt ls Important should ba al? layed. We, therefore, so far as thia Company ia con? cerned, request you, at your earliest convenience, to Investigate its affairs, and to ascertain its po? tt lon and ability to fulfil existing obligations aad all that may arise in the ordinary course of busi? ness. We wish, alBO, to call your attention to onr In? crease of capital, already largely oversubscribed, and desire to know when we can close the sub? scription books and call tn the money, under your construe: 1 :n or the statute. Your prompt attention will be regarded as a ravor. Very respectfully, GEO. T. HOPE, President. I NS cn AN cs DEPARTMENT, STATS OF NEW YORK, 1 ALBANY, November 2,1871. j At the request or the Continental Insurance Company, or the City of New York, I have taken the earliest opportunity, since the adjournment of the National Convention or Insurance Commis? sioners, to invest gate the affairs or the Company, and I find Its condition to be as follows : Its assets, amounting to $2,847,307 64, are Judi? ciously and rarely Invested. I s capital of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars is unimpaired, and lt ha* a surplus of net assets larg~iy in excess of the amount required to rein* sure its on*standing risks, after providing for all other liabilities, Inducing Colcago lo-ses. lu losses sustained at Chicago are in course of rapid adjustment, and leave the Company with abundant ability to afford Indemnity to ita cus? tomers and to respond promptly to all customary cla'ms. The subscriptions to lt i voluntary addlttoa of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars to Its capital are much greater than double the amount to which the st ckbolders are entitled, and the subscrip? tion books must yet remain open until the 20th Inst, at which t.me the subscriptions may be made payable.
