ward the fund now being raised to release the bells
from the Custom House, was $50 from former
citizen of Charleston. The old love of sshome,

the calls made upon their generosity. The exam

pleasant entertainment last. night at their hall,
corner King and Liberty streets. Avery fine dra-
1natic piece had been prepared for last night, but
one of the chief performers being prevented by
sickness from taking part, it was. necessary to
change the programme, which was done, and the
audience was amused for an hour and half with
various devices -burlesques, wax-fgures, dia-
logues, etc., interspersed with vocal and instru-
mental music. At the conclusion Of these e1er-
cises the chairs were removed, and the hall con-
verted into & ballroom. Every thing passed off
very pleasantly: @ :,' c., -. - 2s -; ~ !
