Agent, THOMAS FROST, NO. 56 EwjtBay. 4 ' THE BATTERY.-The early closing of the stores on Saturday afternoon was. generally: observed by Uk? merchante in the city; and the .asmouncement that there would be music'on.tho Battery attract? ed a large crowd to that pleasant promenade:' Many who were closely confined during tho week hastened to breathe the invigorating sea breeze, and to join the numbers who had already gathered at that point. The pavillion had been white? washed, which conni der tbly improved its appear? ance, and when occupied by the Band it soon be? came the centre of attraction.. Tho grounds exe Still in sji^uqflmshed' sU.b^bat;thfi inequalities have been all levelled, and tho promenaders do not have to'laborttp the earth mpands.au was thc case last sxrmmer. On South Battery walk"prepar? ations hs ve evidently, been . mada toward furnish? ing a pavement, for a wide enrb of masonry bas been laid, and the piles of oyster shells that are distributed at different points are ominous signs of tuturo progress. ' The change in the location of the pavilion has affected the promenaders, and East Battery was not patronized to that extent on Saturday that was eua to maxy in the past, but the gaily dressed throng either collected around tire music, or slowly passed and repassed on the outer side of the railing.' ; Among those attracted by the muBic were a large number of colored persons, but there was uo turbulent disposition manifested on their part, and we hope that the city will bc spared a repetition of the disgraceful riots that occurred at this point last summer. The Battery has always been u public promenade, subject only to the restrictions -prescribed by law-the penalties of which will be enforced on all alike both while and black. The new ticket office of the Street Railway Com? pany is only partially completed, but will bo an ornament to the grounds, and in connection with the moaic stand will make the Meeting Street en? trance dcribly popular. The general appearance of the grounds proves that tho Committee of Coun? cil who have their rensovation in hand have not neglected their duties, and the patronage already beete we* iipon- this spot, Viii be increased as thc summer advances. There are few Southern cities that possess so magnificent a breathing spot, and the attention bestowed upon it by the City Fathers wih-fes gratefully appreciated by their constituents. PROVISIONS.-Wo leain thai twelve thousan bushels of coru was pipped from Kew Yor to-day for this city, consigned to Gen. SCOTT, Com missioner of thc Freedmen's Bureau, which will b distributed, ap soon as it arrivo3, throughout th State to those who are in need. A cargo of pori will also soon follow. TITK RBPORTED MCTIDER IN EDGLTIELT).-WI have taken some pains to inquire from tito propel authority, and havo also liad tho pleasure of see inp General M. C. Brrr.EH, and-aro phd io ea; that tho report published in the'Augusta GonsUln ttoha'h! of tho exception of two-i;Unitod States sol diors by a poeso of citizens io Etlgefield District ii entirely without foundation..: fir times like thea we think that paj>ers ont of :tho~ State, especially Southern papers, ought to bo v$ry careful not t< {rive circulation to such rumora,' which are gladi) reproduced by thc Northern press, while tho cor? rection-is conveniently overlooked. THE GAZETTE.-Wo havo been favored with a copy of a new weekly paper of this name-publish ed in this city, Messrs. CATTLFTELD & Fou?, pro? prietors. It is an eightpago paper with a four pape : supplement, and presents, therefore, a Inrpc ?amount of reading matter. From the prospectus wo sen that tho Gazette is to to an Irish aiul Roman Catholic organ, neutral in politics. The drat number is well fibed, and full of promise. Il h'tis a long- and intetesting lotter from Dublin, which tePs of tho Fenian trials now in progress there ; a letter from Patin, giving an account- of thc exposition, stories, poetry, and copious extracts trom Irish papers, giving tho latest nows in all parts of that Island. I no Gazette is well printed, and wc sincerely wish it success and prosperity. Charleston in olden times had tho Catholic Wifcd Inny, and we doubt not its friends, and many be? sides, will como forward to tho Teupport of tho Gazette. THE HIBERSICOX opened its exhibition on Satur? day night, at tho Hibernian Hall. We were there for a few minutes, and saw some eight or ten ?con?sVjcprosenting Dublin, its Custom Honso, Sackville street, Nelson's Pillar, the Four Courts, Jibe Castle, Record Tower, Royal Exchange, Trini .<y Collage", the old;Parliament House, row the -link o? Ireland, and SK Patrick's Cathedral. . Tho second section giviug the Tour of Wicklow, we did not want to seo. .The Boonery, as far aH we can judge, ia pretty good, and the demonstrations copiously interlard? cd with Hibernian anoctlntes, told in the richest, thickest bropue. A number of Irish ballads aro introduced, sunp by Miss MARV DALTON, Miss T? MACEVOT, and the "celebrated Irish comic vocal? ist," Mr. CHARLES MACEVOT, all of whom nre pood performers. Our Fenian Monds should po by all moans..as the Professor, who "docs" ibo exhibi? tion, exhibits decided Fenian proclivities at every foot of canvas. But thia really cannot surprise us. Wo scarcely know how tho departed glories of Ire? land can bo spoken of in other than tones of re? gret, and surely tho patriotic son of Erin may bo pardoned a heartfelt wish that his country may be restored to her pristine fame. \ The exhibition will only remain two days, to? morrow night being the last. THE ORDER, OF B'NAI B'IUTH.-It is now about six? teen years, we believe, since thc Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, was established in thc United States. The nanto in Hebrew signitying, "thu sons--(or children) of tho covenant." Tho Order is entirely composed of members of thc Mosaic faith, and has met with remarkable success. Wo are indebted to Dr. M. MAYES, of New York, (for? merly bf this city,) for a copy of thc last Annual R?port of the Proceedings of the Constitution Grand Lodge, from which wo obtained some in? sight into tho workings of the Order. Dr. MAVEB is the "Grand Maskir." (Secretary, wo presumo.) In tho course of his report, wo find the following interesting episode : ' Before leaving this District (No. 1) I cannot forego tho promptings of my heart to place ou record a noble act of ti no Jewish charity, t?aknc seui Kallala performed by Yogar Sahaduliia Lodge, 'No- 27, of Boston, Mass. In December last this .Lodge learned that two orphan sisters, the daugh? ters of a deceased member, who had also lost their mother, were to be married on the same day, Jan jorySl. 18C6. The Lodge at onco lwanimouViy resolved to appoint a committee of fivo, with full power to buy a complete household outfit for these orphans, to arrange a grand . nuptial feast, with bail, and to assess the meinbors for all expenses; and with the view to make tho whole fea! ivnl ex? clusively, as it were, ono of our Order, the Lodge invited the undersigned. Dr. M. Mayor, .to bo .present and solemnize tho marriage ceremony. The undersigned, not so much because ho felt him? self honored oy this invitation, as to testify, by bis presence, his appreciation of the noblo con cract of thisLod^o, at once accopted the invitation, and cannot but sav, from all he saw and heard on that joyful and solemn occasion, that tho feast re? dounded to tito groat honor of this Lodge-il wan a nupt.al feast distinguished by magnificence, general joy, brotherly Veniality and sociabil.ty, that made those orphans forget that their father and mother were no more ; iudeed had they boen children of wealthy parents, 'they could havo met with ho more genuine sympathy on the part of thc brethren and their wives and daughters, God bless them! or have had a more magnincent feast." Jh August 1866, tho date of the last Annual Ru port, there were seventy-eight Lodges in opera? tion, with six;thouaand six hundred and seventy-six members, possessing over three hundred thousand dollars bf-a regular" and : " branch" funds. Over twentyrthrpa thousand dollars ' had been expended in benefits. ;'? ; ; A Lodge in connection with this order, ! has re? cently, boen organized in this city, under tho nan?i "IJanJiOdgo, No. 93 of L O.

SUNDAY SCHOOL ANNIVERSARY.-Tho Sunday School connected with the second Presbyterian .Church, celebrated its anniversary on Saturday afternoon at tho Church in Meeting Street. This school is ono of the oldest in tho cit}', and had for a long tima, a larger attondaucc thau any other. Thc war and tho dispers ion c f 'We congregation natu? rally affected the school, and it numbers at present far less than it did, bot vigorous efforts aro being made to restore it to its former healthy status. Mr. C. N. AVERILL, the Superintendent, and tho dif? ferent teachers had determined to make thc occa? sion both interesting and instructive, for in addi? tion to the religious exercises in tho Church, a table was Bprcad on tho grass, and tho scholars invited to partake of the luxuries with which it ( was covered. Three o'clock had been appointed as the hour for. assembling, and on their arrival tho children were Beated in the body of the Church, imme? diately in iront of the pulpit, tho smaller ones taking the precedence. The exercises were opened by prayer, and several Sabbath School hymns were sung, tho whole school uniting in this portion nf the ceremonies, their well-trained voices making tho church ring with tho sweet songs of Zion. Dr. P. M. ROBERTSON addressed tho children upon their responsibilities, and spoke of thc importance of the rising geuorntiou, especially in tho present crisis. Hrs remaiks were very applicable, and wove listened to by tho children with marked at tontion. Thc Rev. THOMAS SMYTHE, D. D., thc beloved pastor of tho church, then addressed thu school. His presence in tho pulpit was a sufficient proof that he took a deep interest iu both teachers and pupils, and would usc every effort to add to their welfare. This discourse was especially adapted io the occasion, and was full of instruction to all par? ties. After the religious ceremonies were concluded the scholars adjourned to tko tables, which were conveniently arranged in thu centre walk under tho trees. Festoons of cvergroens had been taste? fully arranged around the table, timi the trees were connected by garlands of tho same material, The tables weru bountifully supplied with i'niits, sweetmeats and confectionary, una the pupils be? ing arranged on either side, a blessing was in? voked by Dr. SMYTHE, and they wore waited upon by tho scholars of the Blruo Class and thc teachers. The entertainment proved tu be amply sufficient, and tho green was soon covered with de? tached groups whose cager voices proved thattbuy were enjoying tho aunivorsary. The lengthening shadows at length warned them of tho approach of night, and tho children were dismissed by the teachers to their different homes. This Sabbath School luis on its relis two hun? dred pupils, and a tegular attendance of at leas! ono hui died and fifty avery Sunday. There ate fourteen teachers, who, with the Superintendent. Mr. AVERILL, bestow their entire attention upon the duties ot thc school, and the interest manifest? ed by thu achol?is is a sign thal their exertions have been repaid. Dr. SMYTHE, in ida sermon yester? day morning, reviewed tho past history of thc Church and the School, and furnished many re minisunces of that period. m fe MA?OB'S COC?T, May i.-A drayman, who drove so carelessly as to knock down a 8?gn post, was iincd $2, and directed to repa r thc injury done. A female, who let her temper pet tito belter of her judgment, or liquor the better of her brains, we don't know which, was fined for kicking up a row in that highly respectable district called E.lioti Btreet. An economical individual, wishing to save twenty conta by not having his chimney swept, paid $5 ?br rct'ueing to let tho contractor cleanse it lor him. A moneyless man, who had been trcatod by bis friends until lie got drunk, and went to bed on tho pavement, expressed many thanks to tho corpora? tion for taking care of hun for livo days. ACKNOWLEDGMENT. -Tho raffle of the pair of white horses took place us advertised, hut tho for? tunato and generous winners returned the horses to tho-r former owners, who, we learn, will raffle them a 6ccond time. As the object of the raffle was to raise money for the support of tho orphans under tito charge ol' tho Sinters ot* Mercy, the ac? tion ol'thc winning party is desorving of all praise, and thc following is tho grateful acknowledgement nf ike Sisters of thc services rendered hy the dif? ferent gentlemen connoct?d with tho enterprise: ''Tus SisTF.its OF om LADY OF MERCY return their gratoral acknowledgments to Mr. E. DALY, Mr. MOCORMACK, Mr. CANTWELL, Mr. P. HORAN, and Mr. MCNANCE, for tho successful termination of thc lalo raffle, tho proceeds of which ($500) have I icon received from Mr. E.
