The ootton warehouse of J T. llowland, commission i

i
of the fire engines, when all efforts to save the contents
of the first floor in the second storehouse were una
vailing. The roof and the second floor fell in upon
in a short time, and the cotton stored there, the prop
erty of Mr. Rowland, was consumed. By this time
several streams had been brought to bear upon the
fire, and the flames were gradually subdued in this
part of the block, but not before they had communi
cated themselves by the roof to the upper Btory of the
corner storehouse. The roof and upper, story were
soon blazing fiercely, and, while a number of streams
were being poured upon the flames, the most hercu
lean efforts were being made by the firemen and
number of citizens, who volunteered for the arduous
and perilous service in removing the cotton upon the
floor below from the reach of the devouring element.
The bales were rolled to the rear door on this
floor and pitched out into the lane below. One bale
fell upon the head of a negro man who- was assisting
in rolling the bales away from below, and it was
believed for a while that it had killed him. It turned
out, however, that he had only sustained a severe
flesh wound, the scalp being torn open entirely across
the head. He was carried into the Fenian House,
comer of Bay and Montgomery streets, and properly
cared for. The man gave his name as Tom. Cooper.
Great excitement prevailed amongst the spectators
this time, caused by the daring conduct of those who
were at work getting out the cotton upon the first floor.
It seemed to the crowd as though the superincumbent
mass of burning cotton and timbers might break
through the floor above them and bury them beneath
the ruins. In spite of the shouting, beckonings and
remonstrances of the crowd, however, they con
tinued their work until the last of the cotton was
thrown out, though the fire was dropping through the
floor in many places and a number of the bales were
on fire. The fire was soon afterwards under the com
plete control of the firemen and made no further pro
gress. The building is an entire wreck, however, and
the walls having swayed outward and for a time
threatened to fall, will have to be pulled down. The
fire was a very hot one and the row of wooden houses
on the opposite side of the street at one time threat,
ened to take fire. The shingled roofs were frequently
ignited but promptly quenched. Besides the accident
above mentioned, no others of a serious nature oc
ciirred, although several of the firemen were more or
less bruised by falling bales of cotton.
The cotton'stored in the warehouse belonged princi
pally to Tison & Gordon, and amounted to 150 bales of
uplands and 125 bales sea islands, only thirty bales of
which were burned.
Tison & Gordon had the following sums insured on
cotton and merchandise in Rowland’s warehouse

In the basement of one of the warehouses were 2000
sacks of oats belonging to Captain McMahon, which
were totally ruined by water. A large quantity of hay
stored in the same place was got out without damage.
This fire, which, with the exception of the great
c integration a year ago, is the only one of any con
siderable extent for a number of years, was managed
with signal ability by the Chief Engineer, and the fire
men worked with a will and effectively. We cheerfully
make room in this connection for the following
card :
The Met .-opolitin Steam Fire Engine Company de_
sire to return their sincere acknowledgements to E. J.
Purse, Esqr., lor the liberal supply of refreshments
supplied by him to the Company after the fire on yes
terday evening at Rowland’s Warehouses on Battle
Row. This kindness but adds to the Metropolitan’s
list of obligations to this gentleman during their brie
existence, and they trust to be on hand always “when
duty calls.”
City C’oubt.—No cases were brought before this
Court yesterday. Judge Chisholm sentenced a mem
ber ot the petit jury to pay a line of twenty dollars
for contempt of court in entering the jury-box on the
day before in a state of intoxication. Th^ Court will
probably adjourn for the term to-day.
The Steamer Croton.—This steamer, under the
command ot Captain Fitzgerald, which arrived here a
*kort time since, and of which we gave a description,
las teen refitting and repairing at Charleston, prepar-
at ‘-*ry to being placed permanently on the line between
that city and Savannah, and is advertised to leave on
hcr «£ular trip on Tuesday next. Mr. Nixon, the
enterprising manager of Dan Castello’s Show, being in
Charleston last week, aided the Captain In forwarding
Ls work, and chartered the boat to take the Circus to
Charleston on Sunday, in time for their opening in that
Lit y un Monday evening. The Croton, therefore, wilj
have Charleston this morning, leave this city with the
pharaphanelia of the show on Sunday, and bo back
ai.rain in time to commence her regular trip on Tues
day.

Police jllatters.
A storekeeper was charged before the Mayor yester.
day morning, with having his horse hitched to a tree
in front of his store in violation of city ordinance in
relation thereto. The policeman testified to the fact
of the horse having been hitched to the tree and hav
ing notified the gentleman accordingly, but he paid
no attention and was therefore placed on the docket.
The storekeeper stated that he was a law-abiding citi
zen and did not wish to violate any of the city ordi
nances, and that as soon as he could conveniently he
had the horse removed. Mayor Anderson then stated
that he would overlook the matter in this instance,
but would caution him against repeating it. He also
took occasion to commend the officer for his vigilance
on this occasion.
The same gentleman was arraigned on another
charge of violating city ordinances, by allowing boxes
and other rubbish piled up in front of his door. He
stated that the barrels had been sold to another party
and had been taken out of the cellar to make room for
other goods and that they were placed on the grating
in front of his store and not on the side-walk; that
they did not belong to him but were waiting for their
owners to remove .them. His Honor stated that when
the building was erected the parties owning were al
lowed to put up this grating for the purpose of allow
ing light to the basement; but it was not at any time
to be considered as a part of the premises, but of the
sidewalk. It was merely a convenience for the occu
pants of the stores, in furnishing light, and not to be
used for the stowage of barrels on merchandise. He
was then fined ten dollars and ordered to remove the
goods immediately; if not, they were to be removed
by the city marshal at the risk and expense of the
owner.
An individual was arraigned on the charge of selling
liquor without license. This case grew out of one
which was before the Mayor In the early part of the
week, in which a man charged his wife with drunken
ness, and said she procured the liquor from a man in
the neighborhood who sold without license. This man
was the only witness in this case, and his statements
were so vague and unsatisfactory that His Honor asked
if any gentleman in court knew the defendant. Mr.
Lochlison stated that he had known him for many
years, and always as an honsst and industrious man
that he had never known or heard of his violating the
laws. The case was therefore dismissed.
Mrs. M. Crogan was charged with stealing goods
from the store of Mr. Eppstein. The complainant
testified that the woman came Into his store making a
frivolous pretext of some kind, and when going out he
observed her secreting a piece of dry goods. He fol
lowed her and found she had a bucket or basket, and
in it was a piece of goods with his private mark on
and a cloak with ths private mirk of another store
keeper. He had her arrested. The case was turned
over to a magistrate, and will be found elsewhere.
A man was charged with drunkenness. A police,
man testified that he was so drunk he had to be taken
to the police barracks in a wagon. The man stated
that he had come here from Augusts and met a couple
of others from that place, who had made him tight.
The Savannah whiskey was somewhat stronger than
that of Augusts. He was fined five dollars.
A couple of sailors belonging to one of the vessels in
port were arraigned for drunkenness, and said It was
their last night on shore and they having a couple of
dollars to spend,'thought they would take a "night
cap " or two, and it had proved too heavy for them.
They were fined five dollars each.

he would approve it; he distinctly and emphatically
said, No 1 that it would be an injury to the public to
sentence a man to six months’ labor and then commute
the fine, and he would not approve of it; that Lieut.
Brunson could do as he pleased in the matter, and
that lie had better see him ; that he saw Lt. Brunson,
and he had said he would attend to it immediately, and
told him to see the family and see what they could
pay ; that he did so, and they told him they could pay
fifty dollars and the costa of Court, and would give a
note with bond for the payment of one hundred dol
lars in thirty days ; Lt Brunson then gave him the
order for his release, which he carried to Lt. Pollard,
and the negro was afterwards released.
Several negro witnesses, mostly friends of the man,
were examined, and they denied everything that was
said.
Judge Pollard then took occasion to remark that it
was at least a week after the order came from Lieut
Brunson before he released him ; that the negro could
not raise the money, and that Lt. Brunson had seen
him and told him that whenever he issued an order
to release any one sentenced to the chain gang it must
be obeyed ; that he had that authority ; and to release
{his mau. He accordingly obeyed the order and the
money was paid over to Lt Brunson..
Mr. O'Byrne stated that an ex-Judge was seldom
compelled to rise in open Court twice on the same day
in vindication of his own character. But it was so in
the present instance. He said a man’s character and
fame were sacred and might by the slightest aspersion
allowed to go forth unrefuted, be blasted forever ; and
that it might even extend to his children and blast
their reputation, and he therefore could not allow this
defamation of his character to go imcontradicted. He
said he had proven by his witnesses that this negro
did say he had offered to take money, and also that he
had refused to have anything to do with the matter
and totally disapproved of it. Ths Judge might take
the testimony of the two parties and weigh them weH,
but he was satisfied that he would decide the negro
guilty.
The decision in both of these cases was reserved un
til to-day. There were several cases of no especial in
terest at the afternoon sessi w.
We have been requested to state that Judge O’-
Byme’s resignation has been accepted, the same to
date from the first of February, and that he hits no
longer any connection with the court. His name has
appeared several times in our reports of the Frced-
men's Court since .that date through inadvertence.
Tlie Steamship San Salvador.
It was recently the good fortune of one of the Her
ald staff to make a trip to and from New York on this
fine steamship, und he wishes to add his own to the
many testimonials in its favor. The San Salvador be
longs to the Empire Line, of which Capt. B. H. Har
dee is the Savannah Agent, and Garrison A Allen the
Agents In New York. The San Salvador and San Ja
cinto, sister ships, make alternate trips, one of them
leaving here and one New York every Saturday. They
are fine steamers, and though not claiming to be re.
markable for Bpeed, in a long experience we have
never been on steadier sea-boats, or more comfortable
ones in any respect.
The following are the officers of the San Salvador:
Commander—Capt. Joshua Atkins.
Purser—Chas. C. Cambridge.
1st Mate—K. S. Nickerson.
2d Mate—H. E. Petty.
Savannah Pilot—Capt. Marmelstein.
The officers are all efficient, every man is always at
his post, and tlie order, neatness and good discipline
on board are noticeable. The Steward's department
is unusually well kept up, and nothing is omitted
which can contribute to the happiness of passengers.
We are especially under obligations to Purser C.
Cambridge, who is both a gentleman and a man of ex
cellent business capacity. Although, we believe, uot
bred to the vocation, his many attentions to his pas
sengers could scarcely be excelled by an officer of the
longest experience, and are among the amenities of a
rough sea-voyage much to be prized. Capt. Atkins is
an experienced aud skillful navigator, and long iden.
titled with this steamship.
The San Salvador will sail to-day at ten o’clock.

FISH.
Steamboat Sunk.—Yesterday morning between
twelve and one o’clock, the eteamer Stan dish was
sunk at her dock foot of Market- wharf. She was
loaded and was to have started yesterday on her up trip
early in the morning. She was moored to the dock
with the Government boets lying on the outside of her.
During the heavy blow of Thursday night, these boats
kept dashing against her side and jamming her cloae r
to the dock. One of the pieces projecting, she wss
worked it is supposed, up on this projection, which
caused her to careen until the water began to flow into
her when she rapidly filled and sank. Her cargo con'
stated of'guano and other perishable freight, which
we suppose will be almost a total loss.
