COOP WoRK.-The steamship SaIagossa, OF
eight hundred tons belonging to the "Leary Line
of New York steam packets, consigned to Messrs'
Ravenel Co., departed from this port yesterday.
She arrived on Monday with good cargo, and
was discharged and loaded in about forty-eight
hours, showing the most excellent management
on the part of her agents and all concerned and
particularly of the ste edore, Mr.. Samuel Fox
The Saragcssa is commanded by Captain NJ. b.
Crowell, most competent and obliging officer.
There arrived on this line yesterday the large and
superior iron steamship Matanzas, which vessel
has excellent berths and passenger accommoda-
tions, and will leave for New York on Sa-uruay
next. ..-
TIE BLACK CRooK.-The present winter bids
fair to rival its predecessor in the number and va
riety Of entertainments furnished to the public.
Professor st. Maur is now dehghhng large au-
diences with exhibitions Of his skill in jonglerie.
Dan CASTILLO and John Robinson will both open
their big. shows in few days; but the Gro Sning
glory is the Black Crook. 1t is positively an
nounced that this entertainment will come Oh, as
the theatre has been engaged anu the company
secured Charleston will then have new sensa-
tion, and the spectacular drama will be spectacle
on which many eyes viii be turned. We consider
the Black Crook bl ssing in disguise, for 1t will
bring strangers to the city, cause healthy circu-
lation Of greenbacks, prove an unfalng source OF
pleasure TO those Who do not object to foot lights
and the other parapharnala Of a theatre.
R2A1 EsrarE.-The influx of greenbacks has
caused perceptible rise in the value of real
estate, andproperty that at one time could not be
sold at any prce, has recently been purchased at
fair rates. This appreciation Of real estate is
cheering sign OF coming prosperity, and AIKEN in
connection with the present aspect Of political AZ
fairs, may be considered good omen of bright
future. During the summer, when business Ian
guished and the blues became an epidemic, every
descrlptionof property was sold ct ruinously low
prices; but that dull season is past, and we gladly
chronicle decided change for the better.
Messrs Leitch & Bruins sold on the 9th some
valuable real estate in this city at almost ante
bellum prices. A lot of land on Liberty street
brought $4,000, and one on Pitt street $1,000.

TIE PREsrIpIeITATEUR.-Th is what might
be called some Of word; it is too long to pro-
nounce or remember, so We shall inform our read
ers that it refers to st. llaur the Wizard and VEN
triloquist. He can say With the hook-nosed no
man, came, saw, c. nquered He has eetso-
lished prestige, for his first night was - N
plete success, the hall was filled with delight
ed audience, who testified by frequent a'"'ana'
ton their appreciation OF his talents. MIR. 81
Maur-he does not style himself professor-com'
menced his performance by the Introduction ol
Master Nip, who talked and sung in surprising
manner. when it is known that he was only
craven image. st. Maur possesses the art OF ven
triloousm in the highest degree, and has oroush'
it to state of perfection that is seldom reacneo
His intonatious are correct, and the sound canno
be traced to the speaker. The magical perform
sncss we're wonderful II is impossible to describe
them. but We are satisfied that no professor
leeerdemain and the black art could excel 81
Maur In the rapidty and correctness OF LIB dinefen
movements. The audience that attended las
night will unite with US in stating that st. Maui
is probably the bes; performer that has appeared
in Charleston He will continue his exhibitions
during the week, and thus afford all who ma!
30 desire an opportunity to attend.
