VALUABLE AND LARGE. CARGo.-The American
ship Rudson, Capt POTTER, for Liverpool, which
has been loading here for some time, was cleared
yesterday by Messrs. WILLIS & CH1soLM, with the
largest cargo Of the season, consisting OF 113
bales Sea- Island Cotton and 1866 bales Upland
Cotton. The Hudson is a very superior mer-
chairman, and makes irst-rate cotton carrier,
as will be noticed from the size Of her cargo.
TIE FAm.-The ladies Of the Fair have yielded
to the urgent request Of throngs that still
crowd their beautiful hall, and have consented to
close the Fair tonight, with a final o: hi
bition of their inimitable tableau1. The hall,
though void of some Of the costly splendor that
graced il at its first opening, is still beautiful.
The thronging, happy crowd. Of young people
alone presents an attraction that will move with
pleasure and admiration the most stoical, but
throw around the brilliant scene the charms of
music, as ia here done, and the thousand and one
innocent entertainments that the ingenuity OF the
ladies have gathered there-snd we are not sur
prised that the public are lothe to see it finally
closed To those who have never attended an
auction, we have no doubt that the grand finale
will be the most entertaining of all.
But we must not omit saying few words about
the efforts of our fair friends last night. The
hall was. perhaps better filed than on any pre-
.yious night. The tableau1 well selected and ad-
rnirably rendered; Miss Squeers administering
the sulphur and molasses, on the plea OF cure
or prophylactic of scabies but really to reduce
the appetites of the young disciples OF the York
shire seminary. The acting was capital; few
would have recognized the angel Of the previous
night in the termsgant Miss Squeers tonight;
and the little scamps swallowed the dose with
such extremely natural wry faces and contortions,
that the audience was convulsed with laughter.
Taking the Veil was the next tableau, also very
Hne. And the new nun looked charming; in fact,
as !. nun she was none.
Norma was re-enacted at the general request OF
those who had not witnessed it the first time. The
beautiful Miss P. looked up most beseechingy at
the relentless Norma, and sang the Clear me,
Norma" as no other cantatrice in this city could
equal. This was rare treat The Fair is much
Indebted to the ndefatigable labors Of this young
lady for large measure Of it's success.
Mrs. CHAPLIN aud others, we will not name at all
this morning. As the Fair is to terminate tonight,
we shall have an opportunity Of recapitulating all
that is worthy Of record. And with this promise
We close, and wait till tonight.

LIQUOR to soldier.-ALFRED FAssETTE, sworn, said:
I am q musician in the 9Th U. s. I. On the 2Sd
inst. and another soldier went into the store at
corner King.street and Smiths Lane, and asked
if We could have any liquor. We were told to go
to the back-room and he would send it there.
he sent man in with soda water bottle full of
vhiskey, for which he charged US fifty cents, and
I paid him for it. 1he defendant here is the
same man. He was behind the counter. We
were both in uniform. called for the liquor and
paid for it. Found guilty, and sentenced to pay
500 fine.
There we're some other cases, of very little in
terest, however.
Our Savannah contemporaries describe, with
considerable enthusiasm, an excursion they had
on Saturday last, to Thunderbolt, and yacht
race. We copy from the Republican:
The two contestants, the Minnie and the Jane
L., with their respective hackers and friends, at
the appointed hour weighed anchor, and were OFT.
The Jene L. leading the Minnie and running free;
kept the lead for some time. The wind was fresh
and fair on the going out stretch, and the Jane l..
shipped good deal of water, which probably had
some influence upon the result Of th- race. Both
boats we're we'll managed, and by the time they
turned the buoy, the Minnie led her antagonist
nv some two hundred yards. Here the contest
became very exciting. Evidently the game lay
with the Minnie, who, on the home stretch, proved
the closest sailer against the wind. She main
Itained her lead throughout the home stretch,
coming in ahead forty-nine seconds, and the win
ner of the purse.
