"London Assurance." /erndon Assurance is always an acceptable play. It was thc flrst of thc dramatio produc? tions of Boaclcault which gare that author his present reputation as a clever and successful playwright; and while ils lively dialogue and rat? tling plot is sure to please aa audience, thc even distribution of thc Interest of the comedy among the several characters renders lt admirably adapt? ed to bring out the full strength of such a rare company as that of Miss Keene. Mr. Mordaunt ap? peared as Dazzle, the embodiment of London As? surance, a character in striking cantrast with the pathetic parts which have heretefor?. generally fallen to his lot during the present engagement: bu: the admirers of his acting never had greater cause to be gratified at his success than on this occasion. Miss Keene, as the lovely, da3hlngand mischievous Lady Cay Spanker, seemed just In her element, and won her usual meed of applause. All the other charactprs were personated with excellent taste and judgment; but Mr. Stuart de? serves special credit for his careful and artistic portrayal of the difficult role of Sir Harcourt CourUey. To-night we are to have Toinette, or fae Saucy Housemaid; and Sheridan's glorious old-fash? ioned comedy. The School for Scandal, ls under? lined for Miss Keene's farewell benefit ou Friday evening. Tan CUSTOMHOUSE.-Yesterday the United States Senate appropriated $25,000 to repair the Charleston Customhouse. ,. EXCURSION TO THE PHOSPHATE WORKS. The excursionists who visited the phosphate works yesterday on the steamer Samson were .highly pleased with their trip. STATE COURT.-Yesterday Judge Carpenter was engaged In hearing matters in both the law and equity sides of this court, but nothing of public interest transpired. THH MAY CONVENTION*.-The following dele? gates have been appointed by the president of the German Society of this city to attend aa mem? bers of the Immigrant, Mechanical aad Agricul? tural Convention, to meet here on jhe third of May next: F. Yon San ten, chairman; A. Mel? cher*, Rudolph Slegling, Henry Wagener, D. Wer? ner, N. Jehreabach, J. C. H. Claussen, C. G. Erck mann, James Simons, Jr., J. H. Kalb, A. Stem k merman, B. Feldmann. m A VALVED ASSISTANT.-Darling's self-snpplj ^ j patent penholder will bc found a valued assist? ant to accountants, bookkeepers and others who arc obliged to do much writing. The principle ls one that cannot fail to commend itself to every one, as the flow of ink ls well regulated, and the neces? sity of frequent dipping ia the inkstand obviated. All who have given it a trial render it a full meed of praise. Messrs. Bolnest A Martin, of the Up? town bookstore, are the agents for the sale of this pen, and can supply all demands. DENTAL ASSOCIATION.-According to pre? vious notice a large raceUng of thc dental profes? sion of this State was held lu Columbia on Tues? day Dr J. B. Patrick was called to the chair, and Dr. .C. F. S. Wright appointed secretary. The Den? tal Association formed in November last, having waved all further action of that ?ody, on motion of Dr. Wardlaw, the members of the dental pro? fession of South Carolina present resolved them? selves into a State Dental Association of South Carolina. A committee, consisting of Drs. Moore, Durham and Harbray, were appointed to draft a costitution and by-laws. Thc committee retired, and, after a short absence, made their report, which was laid over. Thc meeting then adjourn? ed until yesterday 9 o'clock. TUE FIRE LAST NIOUT was occasioned by the burning of the building at the northeast .corner of King street and Horibeck's alley, occu? pied as a dry goods store and dwelling by Mr. Julius Flaum. About 10 o'clock, Onlcer Truall discovered smoke issuing from a window of the bulldlng^ud forced open the frout door, when he found that the whole of the rear portion of the atore was iu Hames. He promptly gave the alarm, and in a few moments the firemen were on the ground. In ten minutes after their arrival the Ure was under control, but before the flamrs were extinguished, the stock of the store, the fur? niture of the dwelling, and nearly all or the wood? work, were destroyed. The house belongs to the estate of Colonel J. C. Blum. We arc informed that there was insurance both upon the buUdlng and stock-how much wc were unable to ascer? tain. PNEUMATIC POWER ron STREUT CARS.-VC noticed some months ago that au experiment was about to be tried lu New Orleans, which, if suc? cessful, would not only facilitate thc running er street cars, but add greatly to the cheapness or propelling them, viz: the pneumatic propeller. The project has at last been worked out, and is likely to prove .a grand triumph over horse and mule power. The Times or Thursday has the fol? lowing allusion to the experlmeit: The pneumatic car was put upon the street about 2 o'clock A. M., Wednesday, and ran from the shop to Canal street and back-about two miles-to the entire satisfaction or all who were present. It is said that the engine worked ad? mirably, and that the success was complete, not "withstanding the fact that but three or the four tanks were used. In the fourth tank, an injury, supposed to have been maliciously contrived, was .discovered on the previous night, and the tank was condemned as unfit for use. The success achieved with the three tanks, and the limited -quantity cf air which they contained, renders it certain that the grand triumph so long hoped for is now at hand. In the experiments previously made, a great many ditllculties had to be over ?come. One by one they have been surmounted, and now everything looks favorable. Indeed, we shortly expect to see mule power superseded In the propulsion or street cars. UNITED STATES COCRT-HON. CEO. S. BRYAK, PRESIDING.-In the Circuit and District Courts yesterday the following business waa disposed .or : Circuit Court.- The grand jury returned a "no fciri" lu the case of the United States .vs. Samuel Knight, charged with soiling without having paid the special tax.

Tho fourth annual meeting of the Charles? ton Board of Trude was held yesterday in the Board of Tra?c building. Buring thc afternoou thc polls were open for the election or officers, and a fine collation, which was laid out in the dining-room, received Ita full share of attentions. Most of the members or the board visited the new building in thc course or the day, and the beauty or the fornlture, the tasteful character of the Attings, and tho commodious dimensions or thc various rooms, were the theme or general cou venation. Os all sides lt was admitted that thc trustees had performed their dltllcult task with linc judgment and great success. TUB MEETING. The business meeting was held in the meeting rooms of the board at half-past 7 o'clock; A. H. Hayden, ? sq., president, in the chair. Letters of application for membership, (rom the following gentlemen, were read and laid over un der the rules till the next regular meeting: J. F. Hunt, John Dougherty, Jr., K. H. Valentine, A. M.

Bruns submitted thc report ol the trustees or thc Board or Trade building, which, on motion or the Hon. G. A. Trenholm, was ap? proved ol ami accepted. [This able and interest? ing report will be printed in our next i3suc.] The Committee on Accounts report eil that they had examined the accounts or the treasurer and found them oorrect. They also expressed their 11 ic li approeiation or thc diligence and ability with which the treasurer ( Dr. H. Baer) had dis? charged his duties, and regretted that he had de? clined re-election. The report was approved and ordered to be spread on thc minutes. The report or Dr. H. Baer, the secretary and treasurer, was read and approved. TREASURER'S RETORT. To the Members of the Charleston Board of Trade : TBS secretary, in presenting thc fourth annual report, respectlully would submit that the Charles? ton Board ol Trude, at this epoch, bas cause for sadness, but stilt more for than krui ness and re? joicing. Olly a few weeks ago the Board of Trade build? ing T, as draped in mourning, in respect to the Memory of oar late president, Mr. Henry Cobla-a man loved, honersd and trusted by all who knew him, bat by none more than the officers and members of this board. Mr. Coblo, it is useless to say, discharged this trust, as he did all ethers committed to his keeping, with energy, zeal and fidelity; and "bis associates of the committee, whose duty it was to procure the means for the purchase of this building, will bear witness to his ardent labors and unwearied zeal te bring this project to a successful Issue. After the house had been purchased he was constant In his attendance to superintend the necessary repairs and Improve? ments, giving his personal attention to even thc minutest particular. It ls a soarce of special re? gret, therefore, to every member or this board, that Mr. Cobla was not permitted to live to sec this noble crown placed npon bis labors: that he U not with ns this day to celebrate our first anni? versary festival at our own board, and within our own walls. We have reason also to rejoice. The Charleston Board or Trade, four years ago, when a fow mer? chants or Meeting, Mayne and Broad streets first met at th? Charleston Hotel Club-room, was a mere experiment; now lt ls a successful and ac comDlished fact. That was thc day of small be? ginning; this the joyful time of harvest. Wc commenced with less than fifty members; now our roster shows nearly two hundred and fifir members. Our firm commenced business four years ago in a room generously lent us by thc kind proprietors or the Charleston Hotel. The only ramlturc wc had was one solitary desk and a ballot-box. Now we have a handsome building ot our own, with reading room, assembly room, Ac, elegant rurnltore aud other appurtenances, second in beauty and completeness to none or Hie same kind in any State of the Union. The Board of Trade Rooms have become a prominent fea? ture among the lights of Charleston, and our merchants, with a pardonable pride, bring their friends from a distance to these hospitable balls, not shunning comparison with similar institutions in larger and wealthier . Hies. Our board has made gratifying progress In strength and influence, no less than in numbers. Every branch of trade and industry is represented In membership, and Hs influence and advocacy are being constantly solicited in favor of public measures of reform and improvement. Interest- ' lng questions affecting the trade and commerce of the city, State, or country at large, are brought be? fore almost every meeting, and the files of ocr daily papers will show In what varied ways the delibtratlons and actions or this board have been or service to this community, during the trying period or political, commercial and social transi? tions from which wc are but now emerging, lt is unnecessary here to enumerate these measures neither eurefforts, nor their results-successful or otherwise. They belong to the history of the lost four years. From such a record In the past, however, lt ls but lair toaugnr a still more active and useful rutare for our board; especially as our means and racllitles for making our influence reit and re? spected have Increased in all directions. The board now has a flue reading room, whero all the leading journals, American and European -English, French and German-are on file A library will be its next object. We already haTc the nucleus fora commercial library, and, with proper effort, the necessary moans can doubtless be procured to give our merchants a large and serviceable library. In view or the growing Im? portance or the Board or Trade Rooms, daily market reports will be found very useful. Ar? rangements have already been made with an ex? perienced and skilled ship news and market reporter te supply these, and also to fumina daily reports or all shipping intelligence. It is more than probable that we shall, before long, also bave a telegraph office lu connection with this building, when the market reports from abroad will be received here R?verai times - during the twenty-four hours. Books will be kept here, also, snowing acenrate state? ments, from day to day, or all transactions in the leading' staples or the country, aud or the imports and exports or Charleston. This, also, will furnish the material for the com? pletion ot an annual review or the trade and com? merce or Charleston, showing the magnitude or our resources, the development or our industries, and the progress mide ia drawing to Charleston the vast interior business of thc Southwest and South. The Importance or such a review, care folly and thoroughly prepared, la too obvious to need argument In RB support. The board, 1 may add, will probably soon Issue an official weekly price current, as ls now done in many or the lar? ger cities of the North and West. In short, no efforts will be spared to make these rooms In rac:, as they now are la promise, THE COMMIE CUL CENTRE OK CHARLESTON. The growth cl membership during the past twelve months has boen unprecedented. The number or members at the last anniversary was one hundred and ii rr %-une; there have been re? ceived ninety-eight new members during the year, and lost by death, removal and other causes, fourteen-leaving a membership at present or two hundred and forty-three. This ls exclusive of the membership of the "Club," which ls a dis? tinct organization. As the present secretary and treasurer respect? fully declined re-election, he hopes the board will permit bim to take this opportunity to express his thanks to the members for their uniform kind? ness and courtesy during bis official connection with them. At the same time he ventures to ex? press the confident belier that the Board or Trade, going on as it has begun. ha9 before lt many a decade or peaceful power aud ever-increasing usefulness. Respectrully submitted. H. BASK, secretary ami Treasurer. Charleston. April 6, lf70. Mr. W. S. Hastie offered the following resolu? tion, which was unanimously adopted : Resolved.

The report was received as information, and the resolutions were laid over to thc next meeting. ?rief speeches of felicitation were made by President Fleming and vice-President Walfer. Mr. R. S. Bruns offered tho following, which was unanimously adopted : Resolved. That the cordial thanks of this board bc tendered to A. H. Hayden. Esq., the retiring president, who during his terra of office has directed its affairs with discretion, courtesy and ability. On motion, the board then adjourned. CROWNING OF TUE ROOF. Interesting Exercises at the Kew Ger? man Lutheran Church-Addresses of | General Wagener, Rev. Mr. Muller and Mr. Devereux. Th? interesting ceremony of crowning the gable rafter of the roof of the new German Lu? theran Church, on King street, took plaoo at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The church Is, of course, yet uncompleted, but the exercises were conducted within its walls, inside of which, at the hour designated, about three or four hundred persons assembled. From the steeple fluttered several German flags, and thc doorway was arched over with flowers and evergreens, and wreaths and other decorations were tastily arranged about thc chancel. J'KESENTATION OF THE CROWN. Promptly at 3 o'clock a number of young ladies preseuted a crown-wreath to Rev. Mr. Muller, the pastor, who presented lt to Mr. John H. Deve? reux, the architect, with the following remarks: ur. Architect-in the name of the Building Committee or this new German Lutheran Church, I present to you this wreath to adorn therewith the highest point of the gable rafter of this building. This crewn of flowers is woven by the fair hands or ladies who work nntlred ror the completion or this church, and borne by my catechumens, who il God permits, will in future imitate the example or their mothers. There ls an old custom in the Oerman Fatherland to adorn the gabie rafter when the roof or a building ls erected. This sig? nifies, as far as I auderstand it. the joy of the workmen that the most tum cult part or their work has been completed, and their hopes for the speedy completion or the whole building. Mr. Archiicet, allow me to express to you at this opportunity, in behalf of the Building Com? mittee of the church edifice, their sincere ac? knowledgement of the faithful and artistic exe? cution ot your plans, and or the friendly relations tha' exist between yourseir anil said committee. May this perishable crown, which 1 present to you this day, soon be superceded by a more last? ing one, the sign or salvation, on the highest point ot the steeple, and may still more lovely crowns than these soon be woven in this house or God by the worshipping congregation. To the artist that shaped and completed this temple or the triune God, it will ever be a glori? ous monument of his skill, and a crown to bis merits. CltOWKINO OF THE ROOP. Mr. Devereux then hoisted the crown to the gable rafter, saying: Reverend Sir-In accepting this beautiful wreath from you, allow me to say to you, slr. that anions all men and tn all times, thc progress of religion has been characterized by the advance of J civilization. No greater proof of the progress of a people can bc exhibited than hy thc grandeur and magnificence or their temples dedicated to the worship ot Almighty God. Whether we look with wonder at the vaulted ceilings and lorty dome or Strassburg, that magnificent temple or your own creation, or at the more distant beau? ties or Solomon's Temple, they all point with au unerring linger to the Immortal Imprint upon the soul or man or that God-like essence which so likens him to his Maker, In the will and power to create, and offer as the work of his hands this tribute to. his Creator. What ls too good or too grand for man to offer to Godr Had he lae wealth or thc ocean, could he raise this temple or gold and stud lt with dia? monds, bc could not pay ror one drop of that preci?os blood shed for us in the Passion or Our Lord in the Garden or Gethsemane. Spring, ver? nal spring, we join onr voice to your tones In offering these flowers In your honor. GENERAL WAGENER'S ADDRESS. Arter this, General Wagoner, thc orator or thc occasion, delivered the following able and inter? esting address: Ladies and Gentlemen-Yon have been greeted with music and song, with garlands and rejoic? ing. What may be the meaning of our exceeding great happiness, of this jubilant demonstration r Behold, we have crowned our work and the Lord has blessed us, that but one solitary accident bas clouded the recollections of more than a years' arduous exertions. The German, when fie departs from the home of his fathers for thc land or the stranger, carries with him and nourishes the memories or thc mild and beautiful manners of his people; whatever ls most excellent ls most dear to him, nud he endeavors to perpetuate and preserve lt In the dwelling place or his children and descendants. You are glad or bis Industry and frugality, of his love of law and order, and of his honest devotion to tbc land of his adop? tion. Are von not glad also ol' his melodies and harmony, ?r lils smiles aud his flowers ? Then greet him to-day with kindness, and bear with his exultant shout, ror to-day he has planted another seed or his fatherland. Shall 1 tell you the meaning or these peculiar und Impressive ceremonies? Then travel with me into thc vista or the past and imagine yourself in a world nf a thousand years ago. lt was then that thc German was forced, by lils great Em? peror Charles, to opea his heart to the new dis? pensation. He had adhered with Iron tenacity to his patriarchs, to his heroes and his sacred graves. Tlic religiou of his ancestors was very dear to him, for lt waB a reflex of his own Ger? man character, mild and merciful, almost as thc beautiful sentiment of the Saviour. Like him, thc German called his Heavenly Master, "Coden Gott,'' (thc good '.) and prayed to him as his "All vadr," (universal Father : ) Our great historian tells ns, "that thc religious worship of thc Ger? mans was closely associated with nature. It was a veneration or her great powers and phenomena. They considered it at variance with thc dignity of the Divinity to euclose Hun within walls, er lo conceive and rep resent Him tn a human shape. They built no maples, but they consecrated to holy purposes thc grandest of their graves ami woods, of which nature had formed the pillars, and whose canopy was the Infinite Heaven itseir." And when at last the German embraced Christianity, he carried the memory of lils domes of oak into his new temple, and tae Teutonic order of architecture, which is exemplified iu the sacred udiSce before yon, is a svmbol In Its arches aud points and combina? tions of thc great forest which the German loved so well. The niiaster of Strassburg, with Its lower of 035 steps, 594 feel high, the highest lu thc world, was the first pure Teutonic House of God. The coruer-stone was laid in thc year lois, and the steeple was painted-In 1439-so that4i!4 years were consumed in the entire construction. I mention these particulars, becansc it was here that this day's festival had its origin. Thc build? ers were an association, beund together by reli? gion, solemn obligations, houor and discipline, and were beloved by thc people of all classes, so that whenever an important portion or their work had been finished, thc youths and maidens or tko district would flock around them with garlands and gifts, and crown their success with restivities and the dance. Other parts or Germany, where other great works were after? ward* hi nrocess of erection, as, for Instance, the great minsters of Vienna and Ulm, and the yet greater domes of Cologne, Majdeburg, Spires and Freiburg, also adopted this manner of testirylug their satisfaction, aud thus lt has continued to our day, with some slight differences iu manner and mode, the custom to crown the'.Richtung*' or "framing." even of Inferior buildings, with the garlands of joy and hospitality. Un the day when the frame is secured and thc external proportieus arc permanently dcte~ mined, the proprietor with his ramily and his friends and nelehbors, all lu their restive suits, wlih music and flowers, proceeds to the new edi? fice, and is there greeted by thc workmen In their Sunday attire. Thc senior craftsmen now ad? vances with the square and compass, which he presents to the master, and requests hint to ex? amine carefully whether the work has been well and faithfully done. Th? master will express his satisfaction and make a donation to the craft, sometimes of costly gifts. The mistress will be there with her escort of fair maidens, and will lender to the senior lier congratulations anda coronet of flowers, which he will carry up to the peak to decorate the accomplished work. From the giddy height he will then pronounce an ora? tion in praise or the Lord, of his masters and or all good people wheresoever they may be dis. persed over the earth, and he will drink a bottle or wine lu memory or the oc? casion. These orations are usually taught by one or the more talented craftsmen to their younger brethren, and, being often added to, are sometimes exceedingly humorous, accord? ing to the peculiar genius of the orator. The fes? tive meal will then begin, the various trades oc? cupying their allotted positions at thc table In strict conformity to ancient and immemorial custom and usage. There is no stint in meat aa l wine, in song and sentiment, until the merry strains or th? ball-room call to oven yet more fa? vorite exercises, which will continue throughout the ulght, orien until midday next. Thus it is in the Fatherland. Here it is different. But thc more we can introduce into our cvtr bnsy lire or the innocent and harmless joyousness of our Germau ancestors, the more capable will we become of encountering with patient forti? tude the storms of fate, which sooner or later will darken the horizon or every creature of human kind. And nn\r, my German friends, there is the work you have begun. It is great, it is dinicult. But lt is not beyond your strength. Would von ralter now? Would yon leave it undone? Never! To? day ls your day of .est and refreshment: t i-mor row, a: high twelve, you shall be called on again, and you shall not cease until the spire points high Into the heavens, as an earnest that all your hopes and aspirations are centred there, and that lhere you will meet the Master and your wages: "Well done ye good and ralthful servants." One hun? dred aud sixteen years n^o the Germans of Charleston erected their drat house of worship. It was situated in Archdale street, in the centre of the lot. on which now stands the English Luthe? ran Church. lt was asmall framed bunning, with a8teepleanda belfry, and In roany of the older families of Charleston that claim their descent from the fatherland, copied drawings are sacred? ly preserved to this doy. That was the small seed from which the mighty tree has sprung, whoso branches now extend from the seaboard to our mountains, all o\-er our State, in every direction. Tltat one little church Iia9 grown to rorty-nlne; and the one that we are now raising to the furth er honor nnd praise of our Lord, will make the half hnndred ofiLuthcran churches in South Caro? lina. God bless the noble German heart that laid the first corner-stone. Tes, God grant dim sweet repose, and oausc the most fragrant spring Howers to hurst forth the llrst every returning May, to mark the sacred spot where the ashes repose or him and his brethren that had a heart for "guten Cutt" or their rathers, and a hand Tor tho weal of their German fellow-citizens. The great wars of Napoleon and his proclama? tion of non-intercourse with England, caused German Immigration to cease, and thus was lost the German tongue in Charleston, until, in 1840, your congregction was founded and your llrst church erected. That modest house was ali that the might of the Gormans of that day could ac? complish, for we were then few and or limited means. You hove Inoreased now both in num? bers and in wealth. Then we had rew friends, oecanse we were no:; known. Mow you have mul? titudes that will assist yon with pleasure, because you have been faithful in the days of their trouble and distress. God grunt that you likewise have increased in religious earnestness, and In trna German love of all that is noble, gracious and geod. This grand structure shall be your dome, your minster, your cathedral. It shall be kept sacred to your children and descendants, genera? tion alter generation, so long as the German tongue shall proclaim the name or the Lord Je? hovah, and thc hymn or Luther sholl resound to His everlasting gory. In this house yeur sons and daughters shall be baptized, here con Armed, here ther shall be married. Here your bier shall stand,'and from here you shall travel to your last, long home at Bethania. Yes, here yon shall come with vonr joys and your sorrows, and here you shall Join In tueprayer of the anolnt ;<l sage or Israel, "that the eyes or the Lord, our God be open upon this house day and night. Hear? ken from Thy dwelling place, eveu from heaven, and when Thou hearest, forgive. Whatsoever sore, or wliatioever sickness there be, then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made or any man, when every one shall know his own sore and lils own grier, and shall spread forth his hand in this house, then hear Thou from heaven, thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest." Germans or Charleston, you have time and again, these many, many years, promptly and kindly responded to my calls lu many a noble ob? ject. Will you hearken once more? I call unto you now. You have begun this great work; lt la lull if difficulties; but lt can and must be glori? ously completed. Have we any difference*, they must be abandoned. Let those who commenced thc mighty task continue with redoubled energy. Their manhood requires them to persevere. Let those that have doubted the tlnal success doubt no longer, but come forward with a willing heart and a strong and united effort. Let the descend? ants ot the German come forward and prove by their aid that they honor the name and religion or their rattlers. Let thc friend or thc German ap? prove or his professions by an effective co-opera? tion. Let the German Catholic, even, and tbe German Jew, and the German Gentile, join the German Lutheran In this German object; and the day shall assuredly come when you will all, with pride and pleasure, hall this beautiful temple as n sacred symbol or thc possibility or religious libe? rality, and or German unity for a grand and noble purpose. At the conclusion or the address, the Invited guests partook or o collation, during which Mr. Kalb, thc chairman or the Building Committee, paid a high compliment to the zeal and efficiency of the architect. Mr. Deverell. The interest of the exercises was heightened by the sweet music from the post band, which was present through thc courtesy of Colonel Edie. TUB FARB TO SAVANNAH.-Messrs. J. D. Aiken A Co. have reduced the fare to and from Savannah by their fine steamships to ihren dol? lars each way, including meals and a berth. THE SOUTHERN DENTISTS.-We soe by the New Orleans papers that the Southern States As? sociation of Dentists will meet in that city, In the Mechanics' Iustltute, on the 13th of this month, and that all the Southern railroads have agreed to pass delegates over their roads for one rare.
