They are ready to go on with the work at once, so as to have it completed at as early a day as pos- mblo. The point which they have selected as the most eligible site for the erection of the Dry Dock, is on .Hutchinson’s -Island, about' opposite to Willinks Ship Yard. Last April Council was asked to lease this site to a company formed for the purpose of carrying a similar project into effect, and the following is a copy of the petition sent in to Inde* to New Advertisements.

The Theatre.—Another -vary large and Sue audience greeted Mias Charlotte Thomp son. at the Theatre, last evening, on the oc casion of her fourth appearance. We are glad to be able to chronicle the fact that dra matic affairs are looking up jn Savannah. Mr. Gilbert has managed so successfully that more interest is taken in entertainments of this character than has been known for years. JJis Company is becoming deservedly popular, and Miss Thompson always was so in this city. the Foundling of Paris was produced last evening in an unexceptional manner. Miss Thompson was charming as in everything else, we can say nothing in praise of her act ing that has not already been said. We bu f apeak the sentiment of the public when we class her as one of the greatest actresses now on the American stage; and her greatest hhsrm consists in the east jr, natural ..manner of her impersonations. The - different, characters of the plays were rendered in a very satisfactory manner by the members of. the £ dramatic company, all of whom are good; decidedly the best stock company that has been in Sa vannah for a number of years. The fares Your Life's in Danger provoked laughter from every person in the bouse, and was exceedingly well performed. This evening will be the benefit night of i|iss Charlotte Thompson, and a great bill has been prepared. The plays to be produced are Rich and Poor, and The Day After the. Wedding, ifiss Thompson will appear in both, and we trust that she will ijRve .a very large tpidiaiice; aqch a one a 3 sh e deserves. -- ■ • Rice at the .Central Trotting CpuasB Iestebdat. —The ■ Central Trotting Course Council at that To the-IIohdriMe the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah: We, the undersigned, realizing the great importance to the commercial and mercan tile prosperity and growth of the city of Sa vannah of the existence of a Dry Dock n our own port, with capacity to accommodate the largest sized vessels which do and may come hither, and desiring to construct such a dock,. most respectfully petition your honorable body for a grant of the following described body of land to be used for that purpose, to wit: commencing at the point on Hutchin son’s' Island, where the piling extending from the west end of Fig Island touches, running thence at low water mark, west six hundred feet, thence north to the rice dam, thence east along said dam six hundred feet, thence south to point of- beginning.

This petition was referred to the Dock and Wharf Committee, but ho’ action was ever taken upon it, and, in the meantime the parties abandoned their pro- i ’ect Within the past few days Captain M. *• Usina, long and favorably known iu con nection with the maritime affairs of this port, and Mr. F. M. Jones, have asked for the same privilege, the following being a copy of their Honorable, the Mayor and Aldermen of the City of Savannah:■—We, the undersigned, realizing the great importance to the mercan tile prosperity and the growth of the city, of a Dry Dock in our port, with capacity suffi cient to accommodate the largest sized ves sels, which do or may oome here, aud de siring to construct a dock, do petition your honorable body to grant us a lease fora series of years, at a moderate rate, with the privi lege of buying, at the present valuation, at any time we may desire, within the term of lease, the following described body of land, to wit: commencing at the point ou Hutch inson’s Island, where the piling extending from the west end Of Fig Island touches, running thence at low water mark, west six hundred feet, thenoe north to the rice dam, thence east along said dam six hundred feet, thence south to point of beginning. (Signed) M. P. Usina F. M. Joses. This petition was handed to Aldermen Uue. Meyers and Burroughs, who considered it of sufficient importance to call a special meet ing of the City Council, to consider the mat ter. At four o’olaok yesterday afternoon, the hour at which the meeting was to be held, ther£ was only Alderman Gue present in the Mayor’s office. At five o’clock there were six, and they, having waited some time for a seventh man to make a quorum, and he not coming, finally adjourned without so much as having individually looked into a matter of great importance to the city. It is a pity that a meeting was not held, the project dis cussed, and referred to an appropriate com mittee, to be reported for action at the next regular meeting of Council, Now, it must come op then; be referred to a committee for a report, which will require two weeks longer; then, perhaps an Ordinance will have to be -framed, anil brought iu at the next meeting, two weeks longer, which ordinance must lay over two weeks, under the rules, and then—if CapL Usina and Mr. Jones have not gone to some other city to build their Dry Dock, they may have become dishearten ed‘and abandoned- the project They are men of energy and enterprise, willing to give guaranties to commence the work within a month, and to have it completed by a speci fied time; and, in a mati« r so important to our commercial interests, their petition should receive a little more than ordinary considera tion. Sqch enterprises as this should be fos tered and encouraged, instead of driven away. Mr. Jones was formerly a ship carpenter in' this city, aud is now proprietor of a large ship-yard In Charleston. He and Captain Usina stand ready to provide Savannah with a Dry Dock, of which she stands greatly in need. We hope that they will be able to car ry out their undertaking.

He was con fined to his room for some weeks, but within the past few days he was feeling very much better; was able to' be about and had no thoughLof-dying-so soon. His demise yes terday .was very sudden and unexpected, and was a great shook to his brother officera and the many friends he had made in this city by his gentlemanly conduct and bearing. Colonel Maynadier was a native of the State of Virginia, and was appointed as a cadet at West Point, from the District of Co lumbia. He pnrsned the usual course of study at that institution, and graduated in 1851, as a brevet Second Lieutenant, and was assigned for duty in the First Artillery, Promotion in the army was slow previous to the war, and the breaking ont of hostilities- found him a Lieutenant -in the Tenth Infant ry, with which regiment he served through the campaigns of the Army of the Potomac, participating in the bloody engagements in Virginia, until after the battle ofFrederieks- burg, becoming a Captain in the meantime. In December, 1863, he was appointed to the command of the Sixth regiment of U. S. -Vol unteers, and was afterwards sent to the West em frontier, as one of military commissioners appointed to arrange Indian affairs. Mean while hehad been appointed Major of the 12 th Infantry, and when his -bnsiness in the West was completed, he took command of that regiment, then on duty at Elmira, New York, gnarding the prison camp.

Portrait of ‘ ‘Beadsman. ”—Onr readers who are familiar with the history of the tnrf, are well acquainted with the history of the cele brated horse “Beadsman,” which figured ex tensively ou English turf; and whose progeny- are now winning laurels there. A gentleman of this city woh in possession of a very fine life-size photograph of the animal, which he has sent to be added to the collection of pictures in the possession of Geo. Wilkes, of the Spirit of the Times. In the last number of that paper we find the following'letter and editorial notice: “Savannah, Nov. 17, 1868. “Dear Spirit: Being a constant reader of your valuable paper, and noticing the suc cess of the progeny of Beadsman in recent eveuts upon the English turf, I forward yon a photograph of this colebrated horse, taken from life in 1858, which has been in my pos session since November of that year (when he had just won the Derby), which I wish to be placed among your collection.

Lassiter, ns Sheriff of Terrill county, levied upon Budgmon’s property a'feiv days previous to the filing of a petition in. bank ruptcy by the latter. The property was sold at Sheriffs salo after the petition had been filed. The rule nisi was then issued from this Court, ordering Lassiter to make a re turn to this Conrt of the proceeds of sucli sale., .To this.rule he paid no attention, and the rule idsi has been made rutc- alsolute, and the Register in Bankruptcy will ascertain what funds, as proceeds of the estate, fell into Lassiter's hands, for which ainonnt the Clerk shall issue execution against him.

The Police Conrt is a good old stand-by, and rarely foils to produce something of interest. Yesterday morning the docket presented a lively collection of sinners, who had been brought to the “wrath to come.” The Marshal, whose stately pres ence we have missed for a couple of days, was in his accustomed place, and affairs went on as usual * White Keys is an operator in whiskey; a member of the foinons “ Ring” which \ is 10 much talked about; but while the members of the “ Ring” use whiskey to fill their pock ets with pictures of Chose, Mr. Washington, and the other patriarchs, Keys employed it to fill his stomach at the expense of nis pock- He was arrested by a policeman while ets. in the act of milking a mistake of such a grave character that His Honor inflicted a Which Seam Dors Rip Easiest ? the Wilcox A Gibbs ? ob the.

The test requires a row of parallel stitching to be made, by each machine, lengthwise, across a narrow strip of two thicknesses of muslin; and this strro is then ont’acrosa at every half an inch, making it into smaller strips, each as long as the width of the original piece.— Each judge takes one of these small strips, and opening the folds on-the ‘lock stitch’ side Dulls on the.ends in opposite directions, and the lock stitoh seam rips out The folds being thus opened to the Wilcox A Gibbs he continues pulling, but this seam re lip. He pulls stronger, but this only stitch; the material gives way, bit the seam holds , first.” And the jury, in accordance with the’facts, render the follow ing verdict: “Its seam, (the Wilcox <t Gibbs.) has Vie peculiar advantage qf readily taken out, when it is desirable; while if is lessJiaUelo rip, in use or wear, than the lock stitch.
