A project has been broached to improve and remodel the tine spacious hall in the Masonic Temple with the view to in crease its adaptability to the use of theatri cal, mlnislrel, operatic and other troupes, and make it approximate more closely to a theatre. The changes proposed have sug gested themselves partly by the experience of those who have used the hall, but more particularly through consultation with ex perts iu such matters. During tfci3 past day or two Mr. Eugene Cramer, proprietor of the Opera House, Co lumbia, South Carolina, hot beet? in the city for the purpose of advising with those who Control the property as to the changes neces sary and desirable. Among the suggestions made is ere to erect a building on the ad- joinjiisr lot for dressing rooms and thus en large The s*age to such proportious as will accommodate any company visiting Savan nah, and to put iu a new drop curtain and add to the scenery a uuiuher of new “flats” and set pieces, thus completing it6 equipment, It is proposed to increase the seating capacity by extending the gal lery so as to inclose the sonthc*rn and eastern sides, and construct an entrance to the same from the store immediately adjoining the present entrance. These chaugea will make the hail much better adapted for public en tertainments, we are pleased to learn that it is expected &u;ps will be taken to make the improvements a* £.opn as certain other matters now under eonsidwylipn by the Masonic bodies of this city are definitely arranged. Beautiful Views. We had the pleasure of & cab last even ing from Mr. E. F. Babbage, better known as the “Phat Boy,” agent for the St. Law rence Route, comprising the Grand Trunk Railroad and Richelieu Ontario Navigation Company, who exhibited for our inspection a number of handsome photographs of the magnificent scenery in the Thousand Islands, the Rapids of the St. Lawrence river, views of the cities of Ottawa, Toronto and other Canada towns. These collection of views the “Phat Bo}’” calls his “panorama,” and last evening a number of the guests at the Screven House were entertained iu examin ing them. This evening Mr. Babbage will deliver a humorous lecture iu the parlors of the Screven House for the entertainment of the greats, his subject being entitled “Inconsid erate fluiuan Nature to Flavor Bone Soup.” Accidentally Drowned. On Wednesday night about half past nine o'clock, a man approached the watchman on the wharf of the Savannah,Charleston and Florida Steam Packet Company, and made some inquiries about the steamer, stating that he was desirous of going to Charleston. After receiving the information desired he left, but presently returned and was, it is supposed, under the influence of liquor, as while walking about he suddenly slipped from the wharf and fell into the water. The watchman made strenuous efforts to save him. throwing him a rope and pole, and had he not been helpless through liquor he would easily hava been rescued. As it was he sank beneath the surface and was seen no more. The name of the man is not known and probably will not be until the body is recovered and an inquest held. Accident to Louise in. Pomeroy# Miss Louise Pomeroy, who played in Sa vannah this season with marked success, and has been recently playing leading lady in “The Sea of lce”fct the New Park Thea tre, Brooklyn, met with a serious acci dent last Thursday evening, by which she injured her thigh. The play closes with the killing of the Marquis del Monte (Mr. llardie) by Ogarita (Louise Pomeroy) and her suicide. Before killing herself she mis judged her distance from the Marquis by whose side she was to die. Miss Pomeroy im mediately saw that she would fall upon him, and from her efforts to prevent this her thMi was badly strained. She was unable to nse on account of the pain and was car ried to her hotel. The <iraud Trot ou Monday. As will be seen by announcement else where, there will be a grand trotting race at Thunderbolt track on Monday, the ISth inst., for a purse of S100; first horse to re ceive $00, second $40. The entries so far are “Maud” and “Wild Irish Girl.” Both were eveulv matched on the *J*-d February la^t and their respective friends are anxious to see them have another trial of speed. The race is open to any local horse except Faugh-a-ballagh. See the uotic?. To Fastidious Dressing Men. Mr. L. Jahnson, merchant tailor, No. 6’.; Bull street, has a notice in this morning s naper, addressed as above, to which we di rect attention. His reputation as a tailor is a guarantee that he can suit the most fastidi ous. Those who have garments they wish to have converted into good as new should •rive him a call. We commend him to the public patronage, and advise a perusal of his advertisement. (.ood News—Clieap lee. Our readers will be pleased to note by the advertisement in another column that the Knickerbocker Ice Company, 144 Bay street, announce that the retail price for their ice, delivered at ;he depot or frem their TOg 0 *?’ will be only iine-Wj cent per pound for the season. With such encouraging prospects of cheap ice, one can await the approach of the hot days with a little more equanimity. Iu New Quarters. William Ingliss, barber, has located at the southeast corner of Drayton and Congress streets (formerly Bateson’s), which has been neatly fitted up, and is now prepared to attend to his old customers and all tne ne w ones who will favor him. _____ PuBs.

A number of horsemen were on the road yesterday afternoon. There were no arrests of interest recorded at the barracks last night. We will soon begin to hear of the attract ions at our suburban resorts. A case containing a pair of eye-glasses was picked up on the street yesterday. Messrs. P. H. Ward & Co. yesterday re ceived the first new Irish potatoes of the season. A good soaking rain would render “the situation,'’ as it were, considerably more en joyable. Among the passengers by the steamship San Jacinto, for Havana yesterday, was Father McNally. We regret to learn that the efficient Chair man of Streets and Lanes. Major John R. Hamlet, is serious! v HI- The streets were crowded yesterday after- uoon with the returning Ticket Agents from the Jacksonville Convention. There are a number of persons who are anxious to interview that “deaf mute,” but he appears to know where to ramble. Mr. John I. Bronson, of the Barnwell Sentinel, is in the city on a business tour, and called at the News office yesterday. The show windows are profusely deco rated with the lithograph portraits of the minstrels, who will be here on Monday night. The various military companies are already considering the question as to where they will spend the day on the first of May and iu what way. Mr. M. Cash was yesterday engaged in putting the new iron caps made by John Rourke on the cesspools recently built along Whitaker street. There were one hundred and twenty guests registered at the Screven House yesterday, the biggest arrival of the season in one day at one hotel. The meeting of the stockholders of the Agricultural and Mechanical Association, called for yesterday, was not held, there not being a quorum present. Mr. E. H. Smith, the General Ticket Agent of the Central Railroad, returned yesterday from the Ticket Agents Convention, recent ly held at Jacksonville, Fla. Messrs. A. Minis & Son cleared yesterday the Swedish bark Ernst, for Hamburg, Ger many, with 3,150 barrels rosin, weighing 1:23,408 pounds, and valued at $7,594 08. Among the strangers who were promena ding the streets yesterday with little slips of ribbon pinned on the lappel of their dusters, was the genial Matt O’Brien, of Columbus. It would seem that horseback riding,which was once so popular iu this section, is again coming into vogue. Nothing is more ex hilarating and pleasant than a gallop on the shell road such weather as we now have. The gentlemen who started the new loan association, which was to be known as the “‘Southern Mutual,” have decided net to organize for the present. This course is thought to be advisable, owing to the stringency of the times. After the entertainment of the Confeder ate Home, on Tuesday night, the Post Band serenaded Mr. Meitzler, proprietor of the Savannah Hotel, Savannah, Ga., who was stopping with a friend on Broad 6treet, and were very cordially received and enter tained.—Charleston News and Courier. Mr, R. B. Reppard, of Savannah, well known us a distinguished and most efficient worker in the Sabbath school oause, has ac cepted an invitation to visit Sandcrsville ori the fourth Sabbath, the 24th inst., and ad dress the Sabbath schools at 4 o’clock p. m. His lecture will be accompanied with black board illustrations. All the Sabbath schools of the city are invited to attend.—Sanders- viUc Herald The art ot advertising is being brought down to a decidedly fine point, and when an agent sends you an inch advertisement to insert at your very lowest rates and accom panies it with a six inch local notice, which he wants put in for nothing, you can't help but admire his acreage of “cheek,” and wish you had a gun that would shoot a hun dred miles, tuju j^ill the fellow you are think ing of, without tkkihg aim.- X- Objections to the admiMiou to probate of the will of the late George P. Gordon, of New York, have been tiled by his daughter, Mary Agnes* Gordon. The objections are that the deceased vas #,ot in a fit condition to make u will at the time if was diawn, five years ago, and that he wu under the influ ence of his wife, Leonore Gordon, who is the stepmother of the contestant. The case is set dowjj for March 29 and April 1 and 2. As previously stated, Capt. Geo. \V. Hussey, of this city, is one of the heirs. DESCENT ON BURGLARS’ ROOST. Recovery ol Valuable Stolen Pro perty — Arrest of Two Thieve* — Escape of One, Who Is Pursued and Fired at. Spring yaslliou Note*. New York Post. The spring bonnets are in the capote shape, closely resembling the ftlt bonnets worn iu the winter. Fine chips and very- coarse straws have so far been the most noticeable. Fans, with fantastic designs, or with trail ing branches of vines and flowers beginning and ending nowhere, and crossing the fan, sticks and all, at right angles, are finished with tiny bells hung ou the edges; they are suspended to the arm by heavy cable cords of silk. Parasols for carriage wear are painted by hand, generally with fewer designs and a discreet admixture of bugs and butterflies. The handles to these are so thick that they are sometimes too large for a delicate hand to grasp; but thickness implies nobbiness; and that is most desirable iu these articles. Garrick capes are to be worn on the out side garments of the coining season; double sailor collars, the lower one smaller than the upper one, appear on tightly fitting dresses. With the corsage waist, which is very long and fits closely to the hips, “Jeanne d’Arc" sashes, or “Almie” sashes, are worn, and fasten iu front. Spring goods are in the bourrette patterns, but in rattier neutral tints, tho absence of startling yellows and reds helping to tone them down. Graj*, blue, brown and whitish shades are mixed together, and there is a predominance of small figures in the impor tations of percales, cambrics, silks and sum mer bourrettes. Two fashious are indicated as likely to succeed during the coming season—short dresses for toe street and a return to over dresses: these last will be apron-shaped and looped or draped up at the sides. Short dresses require more care in their cut and finish than long dresses, and should be cut from the very best patterns; they need very little goring, au4 r ? iu6 t be very littie sloped ttle goring, anq must i l order to be graceful. Large-headed gold pins are much used for dressing the hair; they are highly polished and cut in innumerable facets; they are stock among puffs and braids, according to the taste of the wearer, to any amount. Another fashion is that of wearing phospho rescent flowers, which are startlingly lu minous iu the dark. Hair worn frizzed on the forehead is known abroad as the •“Auiericaine,” and is recommended for very youthful faces only. Black gloves are still much in vogue for evening use, and are worn with white, pink and blue toilets; it is a peculiar fashion, and some have tried to account for it by show ing up its economy, but since when has so ciety been found to favor economy. Even meii wear black gloves at the opera or in the concert room, and for dancing or reception parties they wear white gloves or use none at all: fashion decrees this, as she at the same time tabooes yellow and straw-colored gloves for either sex or on any occasion whatsoever. Beads of all kinds are in the ascendant, pearl and Roman beads heading the list; they appear on bonnets in festooned rows, and gold beads are also similarly used; but this is only on full dress bonnets and not for the street. Dresses are elaborately em broidered down the front with rich designs blending seed pearls and Roman pearls to gether. The most elegant finish for the Throat is thought to be a single row of pearls, or in default of these of Roman pearls set on a dog collar of dark velvet. Shoes for evening wear are in the Louis XV. and Charles IX. styles; this last Is or namented on the instep with three or four bands, and bows with small buckles of col ored stones or Rhine pebbles. The Louis XV. is a low-cut slipper, with a full rosette of some color to match the dress; both shoes have pointed and rounded toes, turned up a little. For home wear the “Moliere,” a half high shoe, and numberless other shapes are worn in all sorts of materials; scarlet heels with blue slippers, or gold heels with black satin ones being “liCTTcu, or vice versa. Vests are so much in favor that several houses havu made a specialty'of “Groom’s” vestings, iu stripes or figures; these with livery ciolk Xvr street suits are novelties, but thev make up too startlingly to be worn by any* but very yquthful figures- Oxford suit ings, uset^'fOr hoys' summer suits, will be made up for seaside dresses, with the pecu- culiar cut away jackets now worn. For beige, or soft materials, a blouse plaited in deep plaits front aud back, and held in by a belt of the same, will take the place of the vest. Scotch ginghams will also be much w orn; aud the dark shades of linens, such as butchers' blue. Rqssi&n gney, and the vari ous shades of brown, corded with colors contrasting them. “Time he Money,” And if this is a fact, th-- call on Wm "Ten, Special Ticket Agent, No. 22 Bull street, and he will sell you railroad tickets and Pullman sleeping car berths by the fast trains. Or, if you don’t care about time, he will sell you tickets by any other line you may desire. Before purchasing elsewhere, call on W. Bkex, 22 Bull street, and obtain reliable information, the differ ent routes aud schedules. lt A few nights since the warehouse of the Georgia and Florida Inland Steamboat Com pany, on the wharf foot of Habersham street, was broken into and two large trunks, two cans of kerosene oil and other articles stolen therefrom. It was evident from the manner in which the robbery had been so successfully accomplished that the perpetrators were skilled thieves and were working in an organized gang. For this reason the agent, Dr. J. S. Lawrence, de sired to give the robbary no publicity, in or der that the detectives, who were at once engaged, could work to better advantage, their movements not being suspected by the gang. The officer who had charge of the case has been energetically on the trail of the burglars ever since, aud anticipated apprehending some of the thieves on Wed nesday night, believing that he had spotted them ana discovered the whereabouts of their plunder. His expectations were not realized, however, and no developments were obtained. The search was not abandoned, however, and doubtless the officer, who is generally successful in ferreting out these affairs, would have “treed” the thieves but for a singular circumstance. Yesterday morning, as our information goes, “a little bird flew into Magistrate Wade’s office and alighting on the iukstand, whistled a tune,” the refrain of which was that in a certain locality the trunks stolen from Lawrence's warehouse were snugly con cealed. “ A wink was as good as a Mow *’ to Magistrate Wade, who imme diately dispatched a messenger to Dr. Lawrence, notifying him of the dis cover}’. A search warrant was at once sworn out by Dr. Lawrence, and officer Barthelmess, deputized as a special consta ble, with officer Jones Franklin, armed with the warrant, proceeded to the locality of which that “little bird” sung, aud after some search discovered the “burglars' roost,” so to speak, to be in the classic pre cincts known as “Soap Factory Lane.” Their search was successful, resulting in the recov ery of two large trunks and a large can of kerosene oil. The recovered property was at once removed to Magistrate Wade’s office. The enterprising and industrious individuals who had stolen this property could not be found, but the officers got an inkling as to their whereabouts, and Morgan and Bartliel- mess immediately took the trail, determined to have the thieves if they were in the county. About half-past two o’clock they traced the parties to near the shingle mill on Mc- Alpin's place, two aud a half miles from the city. With little difficulty they soon “spotted*’ the men they wanted—John Burney and Witch Pratt, bright mulattoes, and nabbed them. Officer Barthelmess took Pratt aud Morgan escorted Burney, and iu this way they started to town. A*fter pro ceeding some distance Pratt, by a deft movement, managed to get free and start ed to run. Officer Barthelmess was un armed at the time, but Morgan, who had a pistol, dropped his prisoner, who was then taken into custody by Barthelmess, and followed after the fugitive. He tired three shots at him. two of which he is cer tain took effect, bqt how serious is not known. His revolver being empty, and Pratt having gained the iqarsh and in creased the distance between them, the chase was temporarily abandoned. The officers returned to tljc city with Burney, who was committed to jail by Magistrate Wade. THE PROPERTT. It is not definitely known by Dr. Lawrence to whom the tranks belong, apparently not to the same party. They were like many others stored iu the warehouse to await the call or order of owners. A letter was received yesterday by Dr. Lawrence, from a gentleman stopping at Fernaudina, making inquiries about his trunk, which he was expecting and had not received, and from the description it is thought one of the recovered trunks is his, but this is hot certaiu- The trunks are strong and substantial, one is covered with figured zinc, the other plain ziuc, and are in appearance similar to those carried by traveling salesmen. One of them contains a lot of patent medicines in neat cans and boxes, all new, most of which have not been opened, cases of vials, complete cheats 9.t homeopathic medicine, several apparatuses and a number of large bottles of different kinds of pills, each containing? 1^ l3 supposed, five hundred [fills, bearing the l&bet oi Huliocli Jc Cren shaw, X+ci* street, Philadelphia. TLj other Trunk contains a iayge number of books—geographies, spelling books, nov els, etc. On tne fly leafs of several of the books are found the following: “Edward E. .McCloud. Franklin High School, Salmon Falls, N. H.” On others is the name of “Edward Russell, Salmon Falls, N. H.” Beyond this there was nothing to be found designating to whom the trunk belonged or where the owner was. There was no name on the outside. In the trav of this trunk were also found a large aiid yarieU assort ment of articles, dobr knobs, shoe makers’ knives, thread, razors, eye glasses, spectacle* of dilfpreut styles and descriptions. In addition there were nearly a dozen large 6ilver-plated tablespoons, tea spoons and fo*ka, scarcely two ur tho same style, on some of which were engraved “Screven,” others “Exchange” (possibly Freil’s Cotton Exchan- M » and “Pavilion/’ These latter were doubt!t** the fruits of other operations iu this city, i ia d been placed in the trunk by the burgla* s f or con _ venience. We should have mentioned that when Burney and Pratt were arrested, the offic*» r ^ recovered a basket containing a lot oi articles, handkerchiefs with the name of “Oscar Newton” on them, cravats, clothing etc., which was found concealed near where they where arrested, and had, it is supposed, been carried out by them for sale to the negroes. One of these articles was a souve nir, in the shape of a German-silver badge, on one side of which is a medaliou portrait of Napoleon III.; on the other. “Campagne D' Ifaiie, 1859'’—“Montebello,” “Palestro,” “Turbigo,” “Magenta,” “Maugnan,” “Sol- ’ferino," the names of the different battle fields being inscribed in column. The officers deserve credit for the thorough manner in which they followed up the slight clue accidentally obtained in the morning, and it is believed that before they are through they will succeed in de veloping the long suspected fact that nearly all these robberies and attempts of late have been made by a regularly organized aud dis ciplined baud of burglars. *-»-♦- Remov lug the Wreck oldie .Tletcalle. Among the most interesting sights lately presented in our vicinity was the removal of the sunken wreck of the steamer Met calfe, by the clipper dredge Delaware by a contract with the city of Savannah, which has just been completed. The Metcalfe was sunk on the opposite side of the river, below the dry dock. She had been used since the war as a steam lighter, was built under the special supervision of a well known townsman and steve dore, was 175 feet in length, 28 feet breadth of beam, 10 feet depth of hold; built of best Georgia heart pine, white oak ribs and gum keel, and though sunken for several years past was in good condition, showing the adaptation of our Georgia pine for vessel building. The bow laid iu twenty feet of water at high tide : the dredge, with an ordinary dipper, seemed like some great monster taking its meal, first ripping off the top, then tearing out the stern by pieces, and breaking up the sides as though made of pasteboard. At times the dipper would slip her hold of the wreck, and catching a single two-inch plank about twelve feet long would throw’ it twenty feet in ihe air, caus ing a stampede of the flotilla of twenty-five batteaux, manned by negroes, waiting for the pieces, but when it alighted iu the water half a dozen would claim it as their prop^ erty. The pieces were seized by the ma rauders, towed to the ferry whnrf step, cut up and hauled off fur tire wood by the wagon luad. The most difficult part to re move, as we are informed by the engiueer in charge, was the last forty by twenty feet of the bottom, owing to* its be ing too light to break. It would slip away from the dipper, and had to be chased around the river, until it was wedged against the piles of the wharf, when it was thrown over and broken up. The actual working time for completing the work was about seven days, and the efficiency of the job is most fully set forth by the following certificate of the officer in charge to the City Council: “I have care fully sounded where the sunken wreck of the ’.Metcalfe lay, and find no vestige of her remaining.” Hotel Arrival*.
