Rev. DR.. VAN DYKE IN CHARLEsToN.-The Rev.
DR.. II. }. Van Dyke, whose admirable discourse on
the slavery issue published some months since,
was invited to Charleston to take part in the ami
versary services of the South Carolina Bible Socie-
ty, on Sunday last. He delivered an address, in
winch he said: "Two days ago, a friend
who had come to the boat to bid him good bye
had jokingy expressed his regret that he was going
to foreign country. And when, after being
rocked in the cradle of the deep longer than he had
any fancy for, he entered our noble harbor, and
saw strange flag floating on either side instead of
the one which, they would excuse him for saving,
he loved and should always love, then he felt for
moment how much there was of sad reality in the
remark: Soon, however, after landing, the pres
sure OF friendly hands and the sounds of friendly
voices had told him that he was not far from home,
and be felt that there was Union higher and
holier and more imperishable than any of this
earth''
DUEL IN PARIs-The Paris correspondent of
the Court Journal gives an account of a singular
duel which was fought few days ago in that city
The combatants were young decayed nobeman
and rich young banker, and the cause was of
course, lady. The former, having the right of
the choice OF weapons, selected the sword, and it
was decided that the affair should come off in the
nooleman's smoking room. The morrow came
the banker climbed up the viscount's slippery stair
and was shown into the smoking room where upon
new and nowery carpet stood the viscount smiling
Dlandly, in dressing gown and slippers before a
tremendous fire. The witnesses soon made all ready
the doctor was stationed in the next ROOM and the
combatants set to at their deadly work In few
minutes the banker stoo pinned through the feshy
part of his right arm to the wadded wainscot Of
the room, and in few minutes more was laid upon
the ylscountS bed, with the doctor standing over
him, and his 1.-TWO friends handing the lint, and
rags and ointment which his case required.
CoTToN WAEEHoUsIYG IN HAvANA.-The Cuban
Messenger learns that the Spanish government has
granted the establishment of large bonded ware
houses in the port of Havana, for the deposit of
cotton from the United States. which is to be i'm
| ported without any duties and deposited in the
warehouses to pay the nominal duty of two per
cent at the time OF transportation, is done with
other goods that are admitted into bonded stores.
| "This will no doubt be of great advantage both to
the cotton-growing States and to the countries tina
consume the article, as the port of Havana presents
many facilities for entering and taking cargo hch
| are not found in New Orleans Mobile, Charleston,
| or Savannah"
The SHIP SUSAN q. OwENs.-Ths ship still re-
mains ashore on the south breaker of Ship Bar,
| and during the heavy squalls of Friday night and
Saturday morning last she worked up much high
er on the shore. Notwithstanding the severe
| weather she has been exposed to, she leaks but
! little, and if she can be speedily relieved of her
cargo, she may yet come off. Several lighters
| went down to her yesterday, but in consequence
OF heavy roller prevailing her, but one
lighter succeeded in getting alongside; but as the
wind Is favorable for a smooth sea, better chance
to work will no doubt exist to day. Charleston
Mercury, Of Nondoy.
| THE GREAT EAsTERN.-The directors of the Great
| Ship Company have prepared the report to be pre-
| sented at the general meeting of the shipowners
| The voyage to New York entailed loss of only
t544. Another voyage to America is intended
early in April. The ships working expenses NAV
be reduced to the ordinary charges of merchant
steamers. A hope is expressed that another sue
cessiui voyage to America will establish public
confidence, and that the ship then find profit
able employment in any trade She would accom-
| plish the voyage to India and Australia under 40
days-LirerpooI Times.

guns" recently ordered by Governor Moore from

Fort Morgan, arrived here yesterday morning, and
attracted much attention. They are ten-inch Co
lumbads, weigh II, GOO pounds, and came through
on the cars of the Richmond aud Danville Railroad
just as they were loaded at the former city. These
were the first through cars ever passed from the
borders of the Atlantic to the Gulf and the char
acter of the freight is at least significant of the
times upon which we have fallen.-MoLile Adrer
ttser, March s.

ger, for Charleston, left this port on Monday with
a very large freight of goods, upon which "a pei
cent. duty will have to be paid The Adger tool

left for several weeks previous; but with that ex
ception, the Northern travel to Charleston ant
other Southern ports through that port is steadily
