GREENE, Stewards ; R. DOZIER, Orator for next anniversary. CORONER'S INQUEST.-Coroner WHITING held an inquest Sunday morning on Union Wharf on the body of John 8imons (freedman), who was lulled on Morris Island on Saturday morning at half-past six o'clock A. M., by the ex? plosion of a shell, whilo he was engaged in un? loading the sam9 for the purposo of getting the iron. Verdict that he came to his death by the ac? cidental explodion of a shell. Another freedman named Wm. Davis, was brought to the city, who was seriously wounded by ?aid explosion. The Augusta Constitutionalist of Saturday says: "Our sanctum has been honored by a visit from HENRY TXHROD, of South Carolina, whose beauti? ful poems are household words in the South. There ia no truer poet in all this country' than HENRY TTHROD, and, if ever a man deserved well of his State, he who has embalmed her glory in surpassing and enduring melody merits a rich re? ward. Mr. TTMBOD has been silent of late. We can guess the cause. But, should he never pro? duce another song, his memory is safe, and tho evidences of his genius secure." We are indebted to Mr. TOOLER, NO. 108 Market Street, for late copies of the Staats Zeitung, Krimi? nal Zeitung, Bound Table, and tho New York Ledger. The first named gives thc best digest of the latest European News. The second, has j UH t concluded a long and very interesting story, by P. SPETLHAQEN, "In Reih und Glied." and now proposes to give us a new story in its place. Tho Bound Table is always interesting and readable. The Ledger this week, contains the first four chap? ters of HENRY WARD BEECHER'S new novel, "Nor? wood," which promises fairly. Mr. VOGLER al? ways keeps on hand a full supply of all the leading periodicals, and of the latest dates. STRAIGHTENING EAST BAY.-The proposed straightening of East Bay, near tho Market, has st last been commenced, under the supervision of Ur. Louis J. BARBOT , the City Engineer. The United States authorities having consented to cede s portion of the new Custom House lot to the city, sud the storm a few nights since having kindly blown the fence away, there was no longer any ne? cessity for delay, and the preliminary work was commenced on Saturday. By the proposed im? provement, a very ugly bend on East Bay, that bas for years been an eyesore and a disgrace, will be-removed, and the street made uniform from the Battery to the Market. When the Custom House is completed, this corner of East Bay will become the great centre of business, and it is tho part of wisdom to make these necessary alterations aa speedily as possible. UNCLE SAM'S STRONG Box.-On last Friday con? siderable comment was occasioned in tho city by observing some workmen attaching strong ropes to the ruins opposite the fire-proof building. It was at once supposed that the old walls were to bo torn down, but additional preparations proved that these surmises were all wrong, and the arrival of a huge safe put a stop to all conjecture. The safe wis from the factory of DENIS, ROBERTS & Co., Boston, and was designed for the use of Mr. J. D. GKDOINOS, the Assistant United States Treasurer. It was intended to place tho safe in the second story, and the only entrance was by the window toward Meeting street. Mr. J. WILLIAMS had the contract for raising the safe and placing it in posi? tion, and preparations had been made to that end by arranging pulleys and tackle. The safe weighed between 9000 and 12,000 pounds, but notwithstand? ing this ??ense weight it was raised without diffi? culty. BASS BALL.-The lovers of the National game assembled on last Saturday afternoon, at the Cita? del Green, to witness the contest between the members of the Palmetto Base Ball Club. Not? withstanding the inducements offered by the music on the Battery, and the several picnics given on that day, a large number of spectators were on the Green and witnessed the game to the close. The club have only recently recommenced their usual exeroise, but the long interim has not affected their practice, as tho result was in no respect inferior to the playing of last summer. The weather on Saturday was all that the most ardent player could desire, and the club waa fully represented on the Green. The game played on Saturday was simply fer practice, and the sides wero chosen as nearly equal as possible. It was called at 4 P. M. and ended at 7 P. M. But 5 innings were played, aud the result showed that the members were not rusty from then? long idleness. Twenty-seven runs were made by the winning side, and fifteen runs by then* opponents. As the summer advances the days will lengthen, and the players be ?able to make the game more interesting. It has long been a popular recreation in this country, and has steadily grown in pubUc favor since its introduction in this city. The Pal? metto Club play every Wednesday and Saturday afternoons, and the grounds are open to all per? sons interested in tho game. ENGLISH METALLIC PAINT.-It is of the greatest importance at the present time, when pennon* are preparing to rebuild their houses, to have them so painted that they will not be affected by tho heat of the weather and will preserve their good looks for a long period. As a general thing houses in this climate require to be repainted every two or three years or they will soon present a rusty ap? pearance. This is well known among builders and contractors, and science baa been invoked to fur? nish a durable paiut that would answer the pur? poses intended. This has at length beeu done, and the English metallic paint is now universally received as the best article to be obtained for either roofings or houses. It is peculiarly adapted for painting roofs and can bc applied to copper, Eine, iron or tin without ever corroding, but will preserve the roof from the action of tho wcathor. Another great advantage ia this paint is the length of time in which its good looks aro preserved ; it being warranted to last six years. Messrs. JOHN? SON A TAYLOR are thc agents for this paint in South Carolina, and Mr. JOHNSON is now in tho city tor the purpose of soliciting orders. His office is at Messrs. GEO. W. WILLIAMS & Co's store in Hayne street, and all orders left at their establishment will be promptly attended to. Builders, mechanics and others interested are referred to the advertise? ment of the paint in another column where they P*n obtain further particulars. FBEUNDBGHAFTSB?ND.-Tho attention of th? berti of this Society is called to a notice of ai "meeting, to be held at their hall at 8 o'clo? ovening. PRINTING OFFICE.-By reference to the ci tho veteran job printer, Mr. A. J. BURKE, i bo soon, that he id still at his old stand ] Mooting Street, up stairs, prepared as alwi do any kind of fancy, book, or ornamental pri that may be desired. 7 EGAL AMUSEMENTS_The legal fraternity of the labors of the week, resolved on Satur leave their musty tomes and spend a day Courts of Nature, free from the restrictif law. A number ef tho members of tho B< invited Judge MUXEO to a pic-nic given s PARKER'S plantation, fifteen miles from tb and tho en tiro party, including his Hone Judge and a majority of the fraternity left tl by tho morning train on the South Carolina road. The weather was charming and the con being in the best of humors, the day was pleasantly. In consequence of tho pic-nic were no Courts held and no legal business acted. THE HIBEENICON to-night ie going to unfo glories for the last time in our city, for the b of the female orphans under the charge of 1 Sisters." We have so often already spoken o panorama of Mr. MoEvox's, blending the s< I musical and dramatic, in happy combination, I wo deem it unnecessary to enter into furthei ticulars respecting its merits at this late Miss DALTON earned hearty plaudits on Satt night, by her spirited rendering of the grea nian song "The Wearing of the Green." acting was very good all through the evei BASNET is inimitable, though we must sa; ghost business is a decided failure, and m our c ion, at least, the " Widow Machree," beata al ghosts that ever were brought on the stage. However, the ghost, we believe, is not to ap to-night, but we are to have an exhibition o: entire canvass, and see all the natural beautie the "Gem of the Sea." FIBES_At 10 o'clock last night the alarm 1 struck Ward No. 4. and the firemen, with t accustomed promptitude, were soon at the s Smoke was discovered issuing from the prem No. 304 King street, occupied by Mr. H. CL AR KI a fancy dry goods store, but the streams of w sent into the building soon subdued the flan At the first alarm, Sergfant POULNOT, of the pc force, who lived near, was notified, and, visi the premises, he found a paunel broken from back door and a barrel of shavings ph un:! er the stairwav. These were on and the whole building full of sm? There was no furniture in the outbuilding and but one room of the house, which was occupied t' i ree persons as a bed room. The stock was Mired in the agencies of HERIOT &? Co. and LEI Co., and the store, which was the property of VOM GLAHN, was also insured, but we were uni to obtain the amounts. Little damage was dont the fire, but the water completely flooded the st The fire waa evidently the work of an incendii bnt no person was known to be on the premise the time. At the fire of Friday morning Mr. H. Cosi FORD waa not insured, and his loss in stock will about $1700. The house was the property of BONNEE, and was insured for $2000. Mr. Cou FORD is not dismayed by the fire, but, we learn, soon recommence the wheelwright business oi mora extended scale. MAYOR'S COURT, May ll.-James Brown and \ ham Campbell, two very small and very belliger black boys, who had come into the street to set some difficulty, either political or otherwise, w fined $3 each. A man, who had been found with another's pi taloona on, which he had taken from tho trunk witness, together with other articles of weari apparel, had his case referred to a Magistrate, a withstanding his strong asseverations that he t bought the articles very cheap from a white ni that he didn't know. Several cases on the docket were dismissed eitl from being of a trivial nature or from having good defence, but two persens were fined $5 ca for having been found lying drank in the stn and in attempting to explain were discovered to being in Court. RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES-GRACE CHURCH.-T Kev. ELLISON CAPERS, recently ordained in tl city, occupied the pulpit in Grace Church yestc day morning, and preaohed to a large and at td tive congregation. Many of his audience remei herod bjT before he had exchanged the sword 1 the gown, and heard the same voice that ueod lead them to battle now inviting them to como the throne of Grace and havo their sins forgive The performance of the choir elicited genet praise, and the Easter decorations added great to the beauty of the Church. ST. JOHN'S AND ST. FTNBAR'H.-The new Chaj ii Queen street was the scene of very interestu services yesterday. The Ch urah at early mass w crowded, so again at the regular morning servie when 186 were confirmed, 120 of them females, ai two colored. All arrayed in white, the girls white veils and dressed with very pretty wreath The young communicants sat in front of the pulp: a very interesting spectacle, and a striking sermt on tho the memorable text of the Saviour : "Soff little children to come unto me." The nor vice wi conducted by Bishop LYNCH, who explained tl rite of confirmation. Tho choir, always excelleo made extra efibrta for this occasion, and furmshi a rich least of sacred melody. The candidates fi confirmation were in charge of tho Sisters of Mere who had been thoir religious instructors. Vespe: were read by Father SCHACHTE. ORDINATION SERVICE.-St. Philip's Church. yoi terday, waa very crowded. The Convention havin just closed, the Bishop and many of the ministei were still in the city, and the Ordination Sei vice was very imposing. The sermon wa preached by the pastor, Bev. W. B. W. Howi from Matthew xxviii. 18-20: "Go ye, therefore, an teach all nations, baptizing them in the name c tue Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghosi teaching them to observe all things whatsoever have commanded you; and, lo I I am with you ai ways, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Kev. C. P. GADSDEN presented tho candidate, Be; JOHN JOHNSON, youngest son pf the late Dr. Jc SEP H JOHNSON, of this city (the author of an in ! tere sting work on R?volu lion ar y Reminiscences; and the Rt. Rev. THOS. F. DAVIS, D. D., then pei formed the Ordination Service. UNITARIAN CHURCH.-There was quite a larg congregation at this place of worship last night it having been previously announced that the sub ject of the discourse would be: Jesus not God; ti be followed, not worshipped." The text was frou Mark xii. 28-30. "And one of the scribes came And having heard them reasoning together, ant perceiving that he had answered them well, aBkec him, which is the first commandment of all, anc Jesus answered him, the first of all the command menta ?B: Hear? O Israel, the Lord our God ?B OUI Lord. And thou Hhalt love the Loi-d thy God vitl all thy heart, and with all th\ soul, and with all th} mind, and with all thy strength. This is the firsi commandment." From the nature of the subject an nounced, and the text chosen to set it forth, om readers can readily infer the line of argument pur? sued by the preacher. The pastor, Rev. T. HIBSI SMITH, is a very able, eloquent, and pleasing speaker, and interested his audience during the entire hour occupied in the delivery of thia sermon. BISHOP WIGHTMAN yesterday morning preached in Trinity Church to a large congregation, from tho text: "Jesus said to him thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy ?oul, and with all thy mind." The preacher divi? ded his BUbject under three principal heads: L Thc obligations of the precept inculcated in the text. ?. Its compass, and thirdly, its rank. We have here obviously a command. The text spoaks with sovereign authority; but God being of in? finite benignity as well as of supreme authority, wc may suppose that God would not inipoeo any command impossible to be complied with. But how can love bo commanded? Tho preacher en? deavored to elucidate thia apparent difficulty by explaining that there were three classes of sus? ceptibilities: The animal, as the love of a mother for her offspring. 2. The rational susceptibilities, brought into play by the beautiful-tho ostliotic emotions of the human mind. Then, cognate to those were what the Bchools oall the scientific emotions or susceptibilities, enabling us to read iu nature tho ideas which God has implanted in it. All these several classes, tho proachcr said, ore without the pale of religion. This we find in tho third CUBS, under which we have the spiritual susceptibilities. Here we mu?t leave the orator. To those who know Bishop WIGHTMAN, we need not say what a privilege it is to Bit under hie na i itry and hear tho outpouring of a mind, cast in large mould, and furnished with the choicest treasures of the ages. Classic, patristic and modern literature in their various ramifications, are all laid under contribution to present tho old truths'in a new, clear and attractive light, With a stronR love of nature and tho beautiful both in I nature and in art, the Bishop is never at a loss for striking and appropriate illustrations. He preachod at night in Bethol Church to a very crowded house; and to-night is to preach again at the same place. MABSDEM'S PECTORAL BALM cures Whooping Cough. DOWDS & MOISE, Agents.

In the United States and Brinah America it has become a household word. As a protective against malaria, epi? demic fevers, fever and ague, and other diseases pro? duced by miasmatic influences, it stands far ahead of all other preparations, and is so considered by tba most eminent physicians of the day. In South and Central America, Mexico and tho West Indies it has obtained a firm hold upon the minds of the people, and is implicitly relied upon as a certain preven? tive and cure for the many malarious diseases incident to those tropical regions. In Australia, Tasmania, Now Zealand, and adjacent Islands, Bs progress has been marvelous. M orr h an tu, Miners, Farmers, Manufacturers and Squatters all en? dorse it Thousands already has it saved from the per? nicious effects of miasma arising from the low. swampy grounds so prevalent in those countries. In China and the taut Indies it its working its way with rapid strides, and ls extensively used lu tho hos? pitals. In conservative Europe, even, its influence ls being felt; and the day is not tar distant when HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS will become hi the old world what it is now in tho new a never failing joy to toe afflicted. 6 May 13 Free to Everybody.
