IrpuAN's CRcUs.-Ihere are few entertainments
Of this description that have apparently been more
successful than the present circus. We were one
of o numerous audience that assembled last eve
| ming to witness the varied performances OF the
combination troupe The vast theatre CT pavilion
was crowded to it's utmost capacity-maDy not
being able to obtain even standing room. 1t would
DO q difficult task to mention particular individu-
ais when all did so well, and our need Of praise
would be that L1pMANs circus Was mighty show,
and MIKE tho chief thereof
In the preliminary performances, Taos. WATSON,
the great summersaut rider, and GEO. BArcHEL-
pFR, the double horse rider and champion leader,
attracted general attention. VIM. LARuE the
hurdle rider, by the boldness of his manouVres,
won the repeated applause of the audience. WM
BURKE the old styled clown, and W. B. DONALD
SON. the Ethiopian clown, were masters OF tho
situation, and created many hearty laughs the
entire audience being able at times to calculate
nothing but o succession Of ha has! The bears,
trained dogs, and other animules under the charge
of Professor GEO. De LEWIS proved to the world
that education was the one thing needful The
sacred COW was an anomaly, for it was the first
time that such an ungainly animal had been train
! ed to perform before Charleston audience.
| MIR. JOHN NAnon, as master of the ring, is thor
oughly posted in his role and managed his differ
ent subjects admirably, but if he we're to exercise
his powers to prevent smoking in the tent it would
be appreciated by the audience. There are few
entertainments that prevent the attractions of this
CIRCUS and We are pleased to sec that it is well
attended. Last night every seat was filed and
many we're obliged to stand, while others who came
after the opening hour were forced to leave. AS
many have leisure time on Saturday. they should
impr' the opportunity by visiting this circus, as
they could hardly 20 to any place where they could
find more amusement.
| YOUNG MINIS CHRISTIAN NAssoo1AWoN.-The Rev.
Mr.. BOWMAN, Pastor Of the Wentworth Street Lu-
theran Church, will preach the next sermon Of the
course before the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton, tomorrow evening, in Trinity Episcopal
Methodist Church, in Hasel street. Services to
commence at half-past seven o'clock.
This series Of sermons which have been regu-
larly continued throughout the past winter and up
to tho present time, have, we have reason to be-
lieve, been instrumental Of much good in the
community. They have been uniformly well at
tended, some Of the smaller churches having
proved too small to accommodate the large audi
ences. The Sermons delivered have all been excel
lent, and listened to with interest and we doubt
| not with profit. Quite large accession has been
made to the membership of the Association, both
OF acfiue and associate members-the former con-
sisting Of church members; the latter of gentle
men who are not members Of churches, but who
still desire to aid the cause Of Christianity in
midst.
eve learn that the Association contemplate
inaugurating regular weekly Union Prayer Meet
ing, to be held in the various churches ofthe city,
on some stated evening of each week; the exercises
to be conducted by the various ministers OF the
city. We predict much good from this movement,
as it will not only strengthen the feeling of Chris
tian unity among the various denominations Of
Christians in our midst, but will offer common
altar for those Of every creed-as well as those Of
no creed-to worship at. The first Of these Union
Prayer Meetings will be held in Trinity Church on
Tuesday evening next.
ST. MIoHAzL's CLocK.-After long interval Of
silent idleness, during which the clock spoke not
word but kept it's hands modestly before its
face, the citizens were delighted to behold some
life in tho old time piece. On Thursday few
spasmodic efforts were made to regain the lost
time, but were all unavailing, until MIR. W. NJ.
ROUSE, the veteran time manipulation, took the sun
yesterday morning and succeeded in regulating
the charleston world. It was subject Of reioic-
ing To many that MIR. ROUSE succeeded in captur-
ing the god Of day, for he has lately either wand
cred from his sphere or has been on breeze and
become befogged. Some parties, instigated by
malice, alleged that Mr.. ROUSE was so much in the
habit OF taking the sun, that he had carried him
away Until the clock was repaired, but this has
been proved to be SANDER. The old clock is now
pursuing it's usual round, and the hands move
briskly on their accustomed tour, but the bells
are sstin missing" as the hours, halves and quar-
ters are no longer told in thu clarion tones that
formerly announced the lapse of time. That
dreaded individual has literally stolen upon Us
like thief in the night, and it is only by careful
observation that We can note his progress. The
City Council should take prompt measures at their
next session to have the striking apparatus
arranged for though the face OF che clock is now
all right, yet it's continued silence is oppressive,
and little noise in the world would not be o.
jectonable.
The QUAKER CrrT.-The many friends Of
Captain WIN. q. WEST will be pleased to learn that
he is again in command Of the Quaker City, and
that with that fine ship he will make regular trips
between this point and New York. Captain WEST
has deservedly won the esteem and confidence Of
the travelling public. His pl asant manners and
extreme kindness 60 for to make him one Of the
most popular commanders that ever sailed in or
out Of our port. The Quaker city, too, bears on
admirable name. Elegant and FAST, she has become
great favorite vita the public.
In conversation with Captain WEST, concerning
the late sad accideu-the burning Of the -A,sdazu-
s,a-we we're informed by him, most positively,
that the report in circulation that at the time the
Aadatusia caught fire, she was racing is an entire
fabrication. The fire, as has been. clearly ascer-
tanned, caught from combustible matter in the
cargo-there being a quantity of medicines and
whiskey in the very section Of the ship whero the
flames broke out.
It seems, also, to be settled fact that the cause
of loss Of lie was from the worthlessness Of the
patent detaching apparatus connected with the
Ife-boats. If this i the case there really should
be very close investigation Of their general utility.
By law ships, ne believe, are compelled to use
them, but If it is proven that they are b entirely
worthless as is the impression, the law should and
doubtless would, be repealed.
