morning has the following:
BURNING OF THE GEN. SHEpLEY.-We learn TINT

While off from the landing she was SET on FRO aft
Of the steamer, and lady, and Capt Fly and lady
with the ships crew, barely escaped being rescued
by the steamer n. NJ. Cool.
The boat was, we understand not insured She
was consigned to G. L.. Colby l. Co., who, we are
informed, were partial owners
The inccndiarism, we are assured, is attributed
to freedmen, who, misguided by fanatics, had been
led to believe that the steamer was desicned Tor
kidnapping purposes, with Cuban or similar des-
tination.

HE HA,IcE TRoUPE.-This famous combination
gymnasts, athletes, tight-rope dancers, ugelcrs
and pantomimists, will honor our city with a visit
and will give their first entertainment in the Hi
bernian Hall night. The HAN1oS Brothers arc
by far the principal performers in the troupe, al
though it embraces artists Of no mean celebrity
immense crowds have sttended their exhibitions
IN every city they have visited, and the press is
loud IN its praises Of their startling and wonderful
feats.
The remarkable celerity with which the brothers
HANLoN perform their flying leaps, catching by
the feet, knees, or hands, and recovering them
selves just at the nick Of te is such as to strike
the heholder with amaze1aent.
The leap for Life" which is one OF their most
difficult performances, is accomplished in the
most graceful manner and, when every breath

and Mile AUGUSTINE, dancers and pantomimists,
constitute The remainder Of the trouee.
These artists have worldwide reputation, and
have performed in the largest European theatres
with great eclat. Praise under such circumstances
is needless, and description Of their stupendous
feats impossible. They will have to be seen in or.
der to be appreciated, and one visit is but the pre-
1ude to many.
In consequence of the withdrawal Of the Milton
ian Tableaux, the Hanlon Troupe are enabled to
commence their performances much sooner than
was anticipated. In addition to their evening en-
tertainments they propose giving Matinee on
Saturday afternoon, which is designed exclusively
fer schools and children
Arare opportunity is now afforded our citizens
or seeing this wonderful Troupe, and the only re-
gret Is that, in consequence Of the absence Of
Theatre, their movements will be somewhat
cramped, but they have availed themselves Of
every facility, and confidently expect that the
Charleston public will accord to them the hearty
well done, SO literally bestowed in other cities.
