A DANGEROUS HoLE.-The cover to a fire well in
Wall street, near Calhoun, has been recently re-
moved OF stolen, and it now presents an opening
that will endanger the limbs of all travellers The
sidewalk at this point is somewhat contracted, and
the hole occurring almost in the centre Of the
pavement, renders IS avoidance difficult opera
hon. little attention would soon restore the well
to its former appearance and remove cause Of
dread and anxiety from that locality. Fire wells
are exceedingly useful institutions in their line but
they should be kept closed when not employed by
the fremen. and new cover viii greatly improve
the appearance Of the one in question.
Ho FOB THE SEA IsLANDs.-It will be seen, by
an advertisement in another column, that the fine
and commodious steamer Eh,ilee has been put
upon theroute between Edisto and this city. Capt
W. +. ADAm is well known as an able and popular
commander, and the agent Major MorE A. PRM-
GLE, viii spare NO pains to make the Ensaie per-
feet in her accommodations. For the present semi
weekly trips viii be made, leaving the city every
Tuesday and Friday. Freights are received daily
and will be stored free Of charge. The largely IN
creasing trade between the Sea Islands and the
city demands that frst-class vessels should be en-
ployed, and can be better suited for this pur
pose than the Esail.e. "

so frequent that they hardly attract attention, and

fined for stealing two bales of Sea Island cotton
from the bark Regina demonstrated to the world
that he was one Of those gay levanters who laugh
at locks. Being allowed access to the yard he en-
braced the opportunity to study the surroundings,
and the survey being satisfactory, he soon placed
himself outside Of them, and left without ringing

the outbuildings was made the medium Of escape
With the assistance Of some friends, this was
placed against the wall near the Marine Hospital,
and once up, the descent was easily accomplished.
