RvKB, R1a1su.-There is a heavy ':j;-a swell we
in the Congaree River and serious
freshet is apprehended. We are told
that the water Sestefday evening WAS
above the level ,of the canal, and rising
ct the rate Of seven teet in twenty-four
hours. Should the swell, continue thir-
ty-six hours, as seems likely from the
recent rains. the high water mark OF
the great freshet of 1852 will be reached.
The new canal banks will probably be
flooded, and the stability Of the new
work pnt to- the test.

DRAMATIC Mr.. Neil Warner, and
Miss Grace Rawlinson, gave an enter
tainment. last evening, at Irwin's Hall.
The audience was small, but highly in
telligent and appreciative. Mr.. Warner
rendered his selections with great credit
to himself and pleasure TO his listeners.
During his recitations from Richard III,
the audience seemed spell. i.bouned, and
were equally fascinated during the entire
evening. Mr.. Warper's voice is 80 clear,
distinct and forcible, that not word is
lost. Miss Rawlinson delivered her por-
