The course will embrace twelve, and will be de-
livered ut the rate of two per week, until the
course is completed. They are free of charge,
and from the known reputation of the speaker for
eoquence and learning, l should say that he
would be greeted by full and appreciatiTc audi
enccs
The Rev. DR.. BAcHNAy, pastor of the English
Lutheran Church, on Archdale strt ct, preached
sermon on Sunday last, on the occasion of the
completion of the forty third year Of his connec-
tion with that church as its pastor. 1t was most
beautiful and impressive discourse, and was lis
tened to by large and attentive cungregation.-
DR.. BACHMAN is one of the oldest and most learn
cd ministers of the Gospel in this city, and has
written several religious, literary and scientific
works. His last work was defence of LUTHER,
against the charges of DR.. BELLEScER and Others
The correspondence was carried on through the
columns of the Evening Nems, and Dr.. BAcHMAN
afterwards embodied the letters and had them pub
lshed in book form.
We have not o Bourbon among us, but we evl-
IDENTIFY have dramatic prodigy A Mr.. GEORGE
IIuTcMsoN advcrtises in the morning papers that
he will act the play of MACBETH, pcrsonating eve
ry character, without the aid of book or prompter
This grand feat will be performed at Hibernan
Hall on Wednesday evening next, and large au-
dience will probably be attracted by the unique
ness of the performance. There can be no doubt
but that Mr.. HUTCHINSON is q most extraordinary
man, and can do some most extraordinary things,
among which is the canibal feat of swallowing
Shakespeare whole.
A run was made upon the office of little sour
ulous sheet called the "Spy," on Saturday even
ing last, by some pcrsocs who had been made to
figure in its columns, and the publisher, together
with his type and furniture, was knocked into
'pi." 1t was nothing more than the head and
front of the "Spy' could have expected, and the
wonder is that it has been permitted to flourish so
long. Such things should at once be frowned
down by the virtuous indignation of an honorable,
high minded community, and the mark of Cain
put upon those who, for filthy lucre, would pander
to the depraved appetites and passions of vita
ted taste.
Mr.. MEMM1SGER has published a careful revise
of his speech in the legislature, on the Bank
question, in the columns of the Courier 1t is q
very ingenious and plausible argument, and his
positions, at first blush, may seem to be impreg-
nable, but he will be severely reviewed and
criticised by one of the ablest pens of the city,
and before he is done with Mr.. NJ, and his speech
some of his positions will have their foundations
knocked from under them. Both are heroes oil
many battles, and in this case, Greek will meet
Greek, and the tug of war will be long and fierce.
| There has not been much excitement here on
account of the arrest of WALKER the fibuster.-
The people here seem to manifest very little
interest in either WALKER, PAULD1Na or the Ad,
misistration, while the resumption of specie pay
ment the price of cotton and the Artesian Well
are considered the ardinal principles of the
democratic faith This is emphatically utilita
rian age, and people care more for measures thar
men, confidence than credit, specie than specula'
ton, and the first question now asked of any
measure, plan or proposition, is, will tpay? /
not no Investment is made, and the thing IS le
alone most serenely: allowed to die of excessive
stiffness
The New Custom House is not yet completed
but like GILrINs hat and wig, it is on the way
and will evidently be ready for uncle Sam
servants in the course of time, if not sooner. 4
new Post Office is spoken of, and the department
has been petitioned on the matter, but that is tn
last that has been heard of it. The prcsen
building is n hundred years old, and is rather ou
of repair. If the mail continues to fail as it ha
for the past ten days, it will scarcely be wortl
while to build Post Office at oil, ms what feV
letters and papers that occasionally reach thi
point could be assorted by the Mail Agent at tn
Depot, md distributed by the Penny Post. W
can assure our friends, the officials at the Fedora
Capital, that we are not near so particular abou
the rost office, as We are about the mails Ou
Northern mail nov comes over two roads, tn
South Carolina and the Northeastern, and be
tween the two it very often fails to come at all
The old Artesian Well still continues to yiel'
thirty gallons of water per minute, which is al
lowed to run off down the street and mingle Will
the waters of the Bay. 1t is now proposed t.
nut this water to some valuable use, by laying
pipes and carrying it through the city, and thus
accommodate with fresh water rs many rs arc
willing to pay reasonable price for it. 1t is pro
posed to use for the present for purposes of ma
chinery If the new we'll succeeds the city vii
soon be supplied with fresh water alta trfng cost
which will avoid the inconvenience now expert
enced from the failure of cisterns from proracted
droughts
The Bathing House, the Fish Market and tht
Battery, are numbered among the luxnries rather
than the nccessaries Of city life, the fact is, NJ
communities except sea port towns cen afford tt
have them. am told, however, that they are al
paying handsome dividends except the Fish Mar
kct, which is regarded rs purely ornamental
