Marion T. a, Society. The large hall of the
above society was last evening crowded to ex-
cess by large audience of ladies and gentle
men, to listen to an address from the eloquent
Hawkins His description of the night that he
signed the pledge, and his mode of life for the
five weeks previous, was delivered in a thrilling
manner; for such was the effect on the audience
that there was scarcely a dry eye i'll the house.
The late hour at which we left the meeting
precudes the possibility of giving a more eX-

HouSebreaking and Robbery. The store of
Mr.. ID. Klockgether, lloward-st., near Muber-
ry, was entered on the night of Tuesday, and
robbed of about $50 in money and some bot
ties of Champagne wine. An entry was eff

law.
"Gire ,S Jm Light" We would respectful
ly call the. attention of the ''proper authori-
ties" to the miserable condition of our city
Gas lamps-scarcely any of which now give
as much light as the ordinary oil lamp. There
is something wrong somewhere-either in the
Gas Company, or the economical burners now
in use. The evil should be remeded at once,
for during the last three or four cloudy nights
our citizens have had to grope their way in al
most total darkness.
LPln our notice of the return of Messrs.
Ridgley & Cook, without the prisoner Bostck,
we omitted to state that great assistance was
rendered the officers by Messrs. E, j. Shields s
Delafeld, of Memphis, who did all in their
power, that high legal abilities and ingenuity
could do, to AYERS the absurd decision of the
Judge. We deem it our duty to state these
facts in honor to the gentlemen who hold dis
tinguished position at the bar of Memphis.

siding in Gay-st., was deprived of two highly
