ST SEE SECOND AND THyRD PA6SE -1a
RAIN.-We had, on yesterday afternoon, a very
pleasant rain, accompanied with pretty severe
lightning, which rendered the air of the evening
cooler and much more agreeable than it otherwise
would have been.
"THE LOST CAusE"-This work is now ready
for delivery. Subscribers will pleaae call for their
copies on the agent, Mr.. ROBERT WILSON, No. 81
Broad street.
The steamship Saraaossa, CRowE1l, from New
York, reported yesterday at quarantine, has been
allowed to come to the wharf and discharge her
cargo, the ship being clean and healthy.
DELAYED TELEaRAMs.-In our issue of yester.
day morning complained Of the delay of dis
patch from Mobile. Last night we received a
telegram from the Ag. mt Of the Associated Press
in Augusta, stating that this dispatch had been
accidentally delayed in the Telegraph Office of
that place. This is precisely as We surmised. Mr.
O'KEEFE, the Superintendent of the American
Telegraph Company in this city, is always prompt
in forwarding dispatches to their destination. and
the NEWS owes him largo debt Of gratitude for
his uniform kind attentions.
AN OLD CITIZEN. Mr.. JOHN Guy, one of the old
est mechanics OF our city, whose days have been
passed with An industry and an unobtrusiveness
quite remarkable, departed this life yesterday.
VI q retiring disposition, anu an eyenness of tenn
per possessed by few, he has travelled long through
this world, pursuing his avocatons, and making
provision for a large family with zeal and a qui-
etness that should afford example to many.
Such men, though they may not be flattered while
living, cannot but be regretted when dead, and
these few words partially indicate our sorrow.
The funeral services will take place this morn
ing at O'clock at Trinity Church.
F1sH.-The piscatorial venders now throng our
streets and in every imag tone ofvoice solicit
all to purchase. In former times the watermelon
and other vegetable merchants appeared to have
monopoly of the street trado, The new regime
has changed this in q great measure.
The street noises now consist mostly of the
cries Of fish and shrimp merchants, who represent
to the public, in varied cries, that their stock is
the best, and cannot be surpassed. The reports
that have been circulating IN our town concerning
cholera, &C., may have given more uina to these
itinerants But we doubt very much il any sick
ness could diminish their activity. This market
is well supplied at present, and in comparison
with meat, the price is quite low. We sincerely
hope that no epidemic may interfere with this
trade, and that our streets may long resound with
the well-known cry Of porgy, &c.
CHARLESTON SHpPINa.-It affords us satisfac-
tion to notice any enlargement of the field OF our
mercantile operations, and pleasure to record
transactions which give evidence that our mer-
chants are placing their funds in the gre4t ship
ping Interest," field which is sufficiently large for
the most extended mercantile ambition, and
among the greatest means by which the CONNER
cial prosperity Of cities is built up. We were
consequently gratfed to learn that Mes.rs.
STREET BROTHERS Co., and GEO. A. LOCKE mer-
chants Of our city, have purchased an interest in
an elegant new bark now in this port. This ves-
sci is the bark Adlie Decker, entirely new built at

Der, and 70 barrels rosin, intended FOR the Rodela
Plata, South America.
THE CHOLERA IN New YoRK.-The epidemic of
cholera in New York Is steadily increasing as the
season advances, though it does not as yet pre-
vail as pestiIence. Thue far it has obeyed the
laws OF cpl emic contagious closely. From the
foul dens OF the tonanthonse abd cellar popula-
tlon 1t has gone by natural law to the aims
houses and prirons, and to the depois for troops
on the Islands near New York. From these latter
depots it has been Carried On army transports to
