Ihe Theatke.—Trodden Down, or, Under |r„j flags, was given at the Theatre last jail, for the first time in this city, we be- Hevi. It is a drama of which Mr.- Watkins is Cher, and it is one of the best plays brought :at here in some time. It attracted a large aliince, which, to judge by the applause, i well pleased with the play. Mr. and i Watkins were well supported by Mr. feitet’s stock company, and the perform- *ias enjoyed by all who witnessed it. Ihe Theatre appears to be an established fact, kadthe people manifest great interest in it. fa one season, at least, we have that insti- ton well patronized. The company is a laid one, and is appreciated by the people. 1 it. Gilbert announces for the entertain- Lent this evening,, a repetition of Trodden ThSikeets.—The condition of many of le streets is such as to demand attention of Lttotly, whose duty it should be to attend , them. Large pools ■ .of water are to be mdin various places, with, apparently, no km of outlet. Certainly it would be but jtlfttouble to run a plough through and ■pdthe gutters, that this water might ran i In some places it is an inconvenience to tfctmns, who must needs go out of their lit) avoid getting wet feet, in crossing sects. It is also an annoyance to people who a»;lc riding through the streets, to have dirty «ta splashed upon them. Where these soli exist, a little filling in, to restore the pper grade of the street, would prevent ration in the future; but, if that cannot dene, then a plough should be ran through is gutters, that the water may pass away. Uhvp.it of a Thief.—Qn the 19th of Sep tember last, while the steamboat J. A.

W. Stansbury & Co., on Broughton Btrcet above BulL About a week ago, this enterprising firm disposed of their whole stock at auction, for the.purpose of making room- for an entire and complete new assortment of goods, suit able as well for the holidays as for the general trade of a first-class house. Yesterday the new stock was displayed Upon the shelves and counters for the inspection of the pnblic, making a glittering, dazzling and beautiful exhibit of the wonders of art in the manufac ture of china and glass ware. Although the weather was unpleasant, scores of ladies availed themselves of the freedom which at taches to an “opening day,” to examine and admire the grand assortment. Standing at the front door and looking down through the store, the scene resembled the descriptions of Aladdin's Cave. A greater variety of arti cles in this line, which furnishes, to a great extent, the public demand for articles for gifts, has never before been brought out here. In the right-hand comer, near the door, a large stand is filled with Bohemian glass and Lava vases of medallion, flowered and Gre cian styles of ornamentation, chaste, elegant and rich decorations for the mantel piece. The delicate colors and fine workmanship challenges the admiration of all. The assort ment of these articles seems almost unlimit ed, and every variety is -presented to suit every taste. Directly in front of the door is a handsome display of silver-plated ware, from the manufactory of the celebrated Meri den Brittania Company, comprising break fast, dinner and tea sets, both plain and beautifully ornamented, with perfect finish, and every style of chasing. There are butter dishes, card receivers, - forks, spoons, Ac.; egg stands with twelve gold-lined cups, and twelve spoons, (a beautiful ornament for the brealriast table), castors, cake baskets, and so on, ad infinitum. Next in order we mention the Parian mar ble goods, and in this line the assortment is as great as can be found in any emporium in the metropolis. There are vases of superior workmanship, busts and figures, furnishing chaste decorations for mantel pieces, table or etagere. The statuettes and boquet holders are very beautiful, and we noticed among the figures, statuettes of Faith and Hope, of Spring and Autumn, Rustic Lovers, and others, which are made in a new style, with gilded beads in the drapery, making, with the pure whiteness of the marble, a very pleasing effect The toilet sets are more than elegant,, and of great variety in style. In Bohemian glass there are sets in ruby, white, pink, green, blue, Ac., the colors being of the most deli cate description. Around the stand upon which these articles were exhibited the ladies lingered, absorbed in admiration. These goods are of extra finish, and of the very latest style of manufacture. There are three pieces in some sets, and in others five—per fumery bottles, powder bowls, boquet stands and holders, making a splendid bureau deco ration. The sets of dinner dishes are also veiy ele gant, and are exhibited in every conceivable pattern and design, with gold band, or plain. For those who wish to re-fumish their tables, a fine .opportunity is afforded. The tea sets are likewise new and pretty, being of the very latest designs. Ornamented or plain sets, some of forty-fonr and others of fifty-six pieces, can be obtained. A new, unique and attractive style of these goods consists of china cups, with coral handles. Tete-a-tete sets, of beautiful patters, are displayed, and are generally admired. Tea sets in lava, rich and elegant, also constitute one of the fea tures of this extensive stock. The ent glass ware department is filled with a magnificent display of goods, of the richest and most attractive patterns. The stock of goblet3, boquet holders, decanters, Ac., preserve dishes, cake dishes, Ao., Ac., is very extensive, and challenges the admira tion of all visitors; Included in -the general stock there are smoking sets, (waiter, tobacco and pipe hol ders and match box) in lava, china and wood, carved and decorated; there are children’s tea sets, in lava and c hinff!. inkstands in ehony and white, vases of every description; Bo hemian ware of all kinds; motto cups, sau cers and mugs in every variety; beautiful chamber sets, candle sticks of many different patterns; and a very lai^ assortment of dolls, for the children, which will be opened for inspection to-day. The shelves are filled with goods of all kinds, making one of the uiost complete and elegant stocks to he found anywhere in the country. Our readers should pay the store a visit, and enjoy the pleasure of looking at L he beautiful articles; and all who Wish to make purchases will find the prices reason able on all things. Arrest of Disordeelx Negroes.— Interfer ence wtth an Officer.—Some time during the past year a negro, named Harry Stewart, squatted upon Mr. Jacob Waldburg’s place, at St Catherine’s Island, and commenced teaching a school. He was allowed to remain by the proprietor, and soon ctnaineneed to teach the negroes not to work, or to do any- thino- for their employer, and to take posses- sion°of the land for themselves. Mr. Wald- bura told him to leave, and he promised to do so, but failed to go; and when spoken to a“ain positively refused to leave. Another negro, named Shallon Jefferson, joined in with Stewart, and threatened to kill Mr. Wald- burg and excited insubordination among the other hands. Tfiat gentleman came to town, and had warrants issued for the arrest of both negroes. On Tuesday afternoon Constable Barthelmess went to the island arrest the negroes. Stewart was at first disposed to go quietly, but Jefferson swore he would not be taken. Other negroes gathered around and informed tho Constablfl that thsy "were fully armed and organized, and . that they would not allow any anrests to be made there. He announced his determination to take the prisoners, and told the negroes it would be best for them not to interfere with Birr. He called upon several told darkies, who appeared disposed to allow the law to be enforced peaceably, to assist him, and they did so. The two prisoners wero secured and placed in a boat and brought to this city. A gan<* of negroes foliqwud all the way m an other boat, andmmong them were m Charles Briley and Toney Brbwn, who had been the ringleaders of the pflfty which interfered with the officers. Mr. Barthelmess took his pns- oners, Stewart and Jefferson, before Justice Marsh, who committed them to jail, on charges of riot, and threatening the life of Mr. Wala- bur“. Soon after, he met the other two, Wiley and"Brown, in the street, and arrested them also. They were likewise committed to jail by Justice Marsh, for resisting and interfering with an officer. Death of a* Worth* Colored Man.— Many of our readers will learn with sincere sorrow that Francis McNeil, a well-known colored citizen of Savannah, died dost night, from hemorrhage of the lungs, after a brief illness The deceased was a worthy man, an honor to his race, and a sincere friend of the whites. Amiable, obliging, honest and indus trious he enjoyed the confidence and kind ’regard of all who knew lnm. Possessing more than - ordinary share of natural ability, taking a deep interest in the welfare of his race, ana ar- dently desiring to promote the peace and prosperity of thejcoinmunity m which he hved, he took an active part in the late political campaign, giving Ins efforts and bis influence to Conservatism. In his death his own race have lost a worthy example, of honesty and fidelity, and the whites a sincere friend. Trig faneral will take place on Friday morn ing at ten o’clock, when many wfio knew and appreciated his character will testify their re spect for his memory.

[COMMUNICATED. ] Savannah, Dec. 15, 1868. Messrs. Editors: One who has some interest in that portion of the city known as Yama- craw, craves a small space in your columns, to call the attention of the “City Fathers” and oijr efficient Fire Department to the condition of affairs in that benighted region. On last Sunday morning a fire broke out in this lo cality, and some ten or eleven houses were consumed before a drop of water was used to slop its onward progress; indeed, the devour ing element had proceeded in its work of destruction to its utmost limits, before our efficient department was ready to give it bat tle, although this organization claims to be “always ready" for any emergency. I do not desiie to find any fault with the members of this organization for their tardiness, for I am aware they can offer several excuses. The time the fire occurred was at that hour when all were in profound slumber; the night was bitter cold; and there was no doubt great difficulty in procuring horses to haul their apparatus’ ah of which tended to delay their tinely arrival. lVuat a, w common with other property- holders of Yamacraw, desire to bring to the notice of the authorities, is the destitute con- . dilion of the apparatus in that locality for preserving their property from fire. We have an engine with a few feet of hose, not enough by one-half that we should have. This en gine was at the fire and could have done good service had there been hose enough to con nect with the nearest hydrant, or to reach from the canal to Oie fire; but there she re mained, idle, for a’ length of time, because no hose was to be had. At a meeting of the De partment last week, "a resolution wan offered to repair the engine and engine-house of No. 7. Some opposition was made to the measure upon the ground that the party opposing did not wish to put the city to any expense for the colored companies. This may do very well to suit the caprices of the Department in obliterating all vestiges of the old ‘‘Savannah Fire Company,” with whom the present Department, for efficiency, cannot commence to compare,’but is not at all satisfactory to the property hold ers and tax-payers in that vicinity. Give us a good hand engine and plenty of hose, and we will feel independent of the “steam fire squirts." We pay taxes for these things and demand them. We have unfortunately no one to represent ns at the Board of Aider- men, but hope that there is surely one among the members who will insist that onr engine honse, which is falling down, be repaired, and the engine (which is a good one) put in first rate order, and supplied with sufficient hose to make her available at fires in that region. We will find strong arms enough to w’ork her; whether they be white or black, or both, it will not matter to ns. We pay taxes, and have little or no police protection, and where, too, the police are most needed- Qifr section is only partially lighted with gas, and we trust and pray that we will not be left without an engine anffa few feet of. hose to protect onr property from conflagration. Give these to us, and the Fire Department and the City Fathers both will be ever prayed for by the Yamacrawians. The Wharves.—Our wharves just now pre sents the appearanoo of a thriving commer cial .city. From east to west, along the river front, the vessels extend, in continuous line, two abreast at every wharf: Under the bluff there is always activity during the day; and, although cotton does not come in very brisk, still there is enough moving to give life and activity to commercial circles. The steve dores and draymen appear to have plenty to do; and the river, whioh a few months ago presented a very dull appearance, bustles with life and activity. Atlantic and Gulf Railroad Stock.—We call special attention to the advertisement of a few shares of the above stock wanted by Capt ©. R. Dillon, Broker, No. 4 Whitaker street The Steamship Leo.—The Leo sailed for New York yesterday, heavily loaded. A por tion of her cargo consisted of 844 bales of up land cotton and 14 bales of sea island.. HOTEL ARRIVALS.
