The Last of the Pastoral Poets.

II ia getting to he a question whether the
Patent Office will not soon rob life OF all its
poetry, and reduce human existence TO one
demnition grind. The inroads OF labor-sav-
ing inventions become alarming. The sleam
engine has destroyed the domestic fircside
and tile comfortable kitchen; ii has replaced
the gentle pleasures Of travel by rush OF
wheels, shrek OF whistles, cloud oil dusl,
and smoke and cindeis, through whlch
scenery is invisible and the iaees OF comlan-
ions are olscured It has broken up the vii
defness and delAcrd the mountains; and now

SUEZ, November FL, via Alexandra.
The inauguration feet, consisting of
ioriy-fve steamers, has arrived here.
None were obliged to employ pilots. The
only difficulty they had was owing to
their numbers Some we're crowded upon
the bank of the canal several times, but
they got off without trouble, the sandy
bottom neither holding nor hurting them
on leaving. At IsmsIia several steamers
fouled with each other, but no serious
damage was done.
The water in the canal between this
point and Ismslis is full twenty feet deep
ut the shallowest spot, and in several
places is less than fifteen in depth, but at
all these points the bottom can be easily
deepened. Steamers drawing fifteen feet
can navigate from, Port Said 10 Suez with
ease in fifteen boHrs. The water does
no, wash away the banks as much as was
spprehended. The complete success OF
the great work exceeds all expectation.

FINED.-Henry Schultz and Henry
Brescock were before Esquire Hammer,
Yesterday, for creating disturbance on
a street car last Saturday evening.
From one who witnessed the affair
from beginning to end we learn that
these parties got on the car in a state OF
intoxication and commenced to sing
and conduct themselves very imprOP-
erly. They were ordered to desist or
leave the car, by the conductor.
Schultz offered to get out If his money
was refunded. This was promptly done,
and when in the act of leaving the car
he was caught by his companion and
compelled to remain inside. They con-
tinued to behave very unbecomingly.
AT one of the passing points in Centre
Wheeling the conductor called to his
assistance another employee on the
road and the disorderly individuals
were elected. Brescock showed fight
and struck those who were simply car
rying out their Instructions. This was
adding injury to insult and for few
minutes there was quite lively time
in that locality.
The foregoing facts, substantially,
were brought out by the testimony. and
the Justice imposed fine often dol
lars and costs on Brescock, and five dol
lars and costs on Schultz. Served them
right.

POLICE CoURT.-There was one case
before this Court yesterday morn
ing. The defendant, Peter Klug, did
not put in appearance. The trial, how
ever, went on just the same as II he
had. Peter, it was said, had offered to
pay the costs if the proceedings were
stopped; but Judge Good don't do busi-
ness in that way. If a party violate
the law, he must suffer the penalty. II
may be presumption in us to express
an opinion in such matters, but we
can't help saying that is the only pro-
per rule of action, and we are gratified
to know that His Honor acts upon that
principle. If you would avoid the dis
grace and expense OF an airing in the
Police Court, keep within the bounds
of correct depo rtment.
Peter Klug doubtless regrets his dis
orderly conduct on Tuesday, and the
five dollars and costs which he was re-
quired to pay therefor. will serve as 8
reminder in the future,

ExH1BIT1oN.-The ladies and gentle

and it promises to be the affair of the
season. The exercises will consist of
tabl eaux, Rotations, &c, which have

will make their arrangements to coma

ances on the occasion. A pleasant

corrected, but failed. We shall pro-
badly receive correct copy of it by
mail to-day, which will certainly be a
reflection on the telegraph.

TR1ED.-The two steam fire engines
manufactured for our city by Messrs.
Cole Brothers, Pawtucket. r. l., were
brought up noar the intersection Of
Main and Monroe streets, yesterday
afternoon, and tested in presence of the
Fire Department and a large crowd OF
citizens. We heard but one sentiment
expressed as to their performances, and
that was, praise. They were afterwards
taken TO different sections OF the city
and the test continued. 1t was equally
satisfactory. The engines are beautiful
specimens of workmanship and reflect
great credit on their builders. Our city
is now pretty we'll prepared to fight the
fire demon, and we doubt not among
the benefits the possession of these
engines will confer, not the least incon-
siderable will be cheaper rates OF insur-
ance.

WASHINGTON Observation-Disclosures
ing the snow storm last evening, a
more than average house was present
at Washington Hall to witness the rep
resentntion of Griffith Gaunt," by the
Seftons. The same truthful rendering
characterized their performances last
night which has established this troupe
SO firmly in the esteem of our theater
goers, and of which we have written so
repeatedly. This evening they present
"Miami, or the Huntress ofthe Missis-
sippi," one OF exciting stories of life on
the border, which has been finely
dramatised. This piece will create n
furore, and will be followed on Friday
night by an unusually attractive pro-
grnmme. Miss Annie Seton takes a
benefit on that evening, and her many
friends will have an opportunity to give
a practical demonstration of their APP
probation of her abilities as an actress.
