The Weather.—Yesterday was considered one of tie coldest days of the season, and although Sol tried t • yet the mastery, he was not quite successful. Boreas had it mostly ins own way, ai.d the files and over- i tuts were indispensable. Towar ds noon tire wind changed and during the afternoon and last night blew from the north-east. At the time of writing there is every appearance of another storm being upon us. l>o strttc tiv *■ Ooufl agr&rlon. The ootton warehouse of J T. llowland, commission i merchant, at the corner of Battle How and Montgom- ; crystre..-, was destroyed*by fixe yesterday a tnnoou j ; -gcth.tr with a portion of its e<intent*. The lire broke I j Out at about quarter past four, in the upper story of the | aeewnd storehouse from the comer h is Wl/eved tol i b * ve bHtin communicated to the iooeo cotton the | j .uking room by some one of, the negroes einj: yed j Uitie. The Jire spread rapidly, aud in * hurt bin * ! j ^he whole upper floor and the roof ware in flames. The ! 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 Freedmen’i Coart.

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. Cultivati on of tlie Palma Christi. ^ c ‘ a S aiu iuvit e the attention of our planting friends • 1 the proposition of Mr. J. W. Gregory, to introduce ths culture of the Palma Christi or Castor Bean, as an expedient lor the times. Mr. Gregory has shown that the plant can be successfully cultivated on our poorest lauds with very little labor and without fencing, and • i’s to loan the best qjjality of seed to all who ->1 to embark in its cultivation; and to con- he now. tract for ti - ir t-ntire crops at a price which, according hi„ calculation, will give a return of some thirteen hundred dollars to the hand. It is well known that lu * i ‘ jnt ^ indigenous in our section and grows luxu- t*antiy without cultivation.

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. Passengers. Per steamship Vfrgo, Tor New York—G W Clark, D P iiines and wife, B Poliack, 8 bevy, Mrs King, Mrs Dickenson and child.

K J Ferguson, Linvllle A Gleason, 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. C T Cooper.

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. Military Commission.-—The trial of Filler D.
