fire has not been ascertainel, though it is very
certain that it was the work of an incendlary, as
the house had not been open for several days
previous. The building was fre-prcof, and the
walls arc but little damaged. The loss is fully
covered by insurance.

Kiting, both by the boys and the banks, would

! extent not warranted by the exigencies of the
times. The Courier of this morning hits off that
! popular juvenile amusement in the following style

or in the streets Of or the streets that

The grandest and most rowded affair of the
season came off on last Sunday at the Cathedral
of St. Finbar's OH Broad street and Friend. The
occasion was the conservation of the 1T. Rev. L.
y. LYxCn. D. d., as bishop Of Charleston. In
order to prevent the rush CT the crowd. tickets
were furnished to a number sufficient to tis every
available seat in the large and spacious building.
The doors were opened to ticket holders at nine
o'clock in the morning, and by n quarter to ten
all those thus privileged had gained admittance
AID we're seated, and the doors were then thrown
: omen to the public, when the rush was immense,
and every inch of standing space in the aisles and
elsewhere was almost i~nstansly occupied. The
| crowd was so dense that several ladies tainted and
had to be ca. ricd out. The services were alto
gether solemn and imposing, and. withal, well
calculated to impress the mind and engage the at
tcntion Of the vast auditory. The ceremonies
consumed three hours and n half, during which
time hundreds remained standing in the crowded
aislcs, and hacked in 50 close that they could not
move.

OF the regular semi-monthly lectures Of the sea-

ton. 1t was q politico-religious lecture, which
would seem naturally enough to flow from the
subject Of the discourse-''Th Bible in the Capt.

season, and listened to with rapt attention by the
vast concourse that crowded the church. DR..
MYERS is one of the most eminent divines and
profound theologians in the Methodist Church
South, and is probably destined to be the head of
the book concern Mt Nashville, for which position
his learning, talents and business tact eminently
qualify him.
The late difficulties in the Citadel Academy are
still being discussed in the newspapers, and some
parties seem to be altogether dissatisfied with the
decision of the Board of Visitors. presume
the decision is nevertheless final, and those who
are dissatisfied with it can indulge in the repuhli-
can luxury of grumbling ad Wttum, but without
any beneficial results to the cause they advocate.
But this it a free country, and every man can do
whatever amont of talking or writing which he
nav have leisure or irclination to indulge, and
there is no power to prevent him.
The late sparring match between the Courier
and Standard has been terminated hy the terms Of
its oTn Limitation, without any serious Consequent
ces, the Standard taking the parting shot. The
contest was sharp, spirited and spicy, and was
well managed by both parties, who exhibited tact
and talent worthy Of a better cause. They may
not have exhausted their magazines of wit and
satire, but they will most probably let each other
alone for 4 while "most severely"
