The Methodists of Marlboro' have been erecting a new church-edifice, which ls now ?nearly completed, and will be dedicated on Wednesday, the 24th instant. The dedication sermon will be preached by Bishop Pierce. The new church presents a fine appearance, and supplies a need that ?had been long and seriously felt in Marlboro'. For some years the Methodists of that community have had no suitable place of worship. For a long time previous to its abandonment their old church building was so dilapidated as to be comfortless* ia almost all weathers, and the services have recently been held in the courthouse, but most of the members of the congregation disliked lo attend there for public worship, and hence the attendance has gene? rally been small.

Hymns were sung, a prayer offered, and a psalm appropriate to the occa? sion read, after which Bishop Brown preached a dedicatory sermon.

The convention referred to above is endeavoring at present to fill the pul? pits ol the Baptist Churches In the lower por? tion of the State, especially In Beaufort Coun? ty, and along the seacoast, where before the war the churches of all denominations were la a most flourishing condition, and where now you will go lort y miles In some sections with? out seeing a church. Mr. Lamar ls trying to visit every church la each association, and ls Instructed to ask all Baptist Churches in the State to take up a collection once every three months, especially for the benefit of State mis? sions, and has lately visited twenty churches In the Barnwell association and fifteen in the Edgefleld association, all of whom have pro? mised their hearty support, and are requested by Mr. Lamar to do all In their power to for? ward the good work.

LianT-FiXGERED.-James Roche, a colored man, was arrested and brought before tbe Mayor yesterday for lying drunk in Market street, between King and Meeting. While under arrest Roche was charged wilh having stolen a pocketbook OE Thursday from a pe? destrian on East Bay and appropriated the contents. The victim on the occasion pur? sued the thief, but upon catching bim, the lat? ter had thrown away the pocketbook, and the greenbacks had no mark. The case was doubtful, and the prisoner was held for further examination. i THE RIFLE PARADE TO-DAY. The members of the rifle clubs that will ap pear in something like martial array upon onr streets to-day, feel doubtless that same esprit de corps that actuated the militia of palmier days, and the several organizations can hardly fall to honor the names they bear. The Wash? ington Light Infantry-have a revolutionary fame, and will carry as a cherished souvenir the Eutaw flag-the same that floated defiant? ly In the "lime that tried men's souls." The Sumter Club are without any historic antece? dents, beyond their name, which Is a "slogan* that will rouse many memories that have been dormant for years. The Palmetto Guard, the escort ol the occasion, are the lineal descen? dants of a corps that was prominent before and during the war. The clubs are clad In a sober suit of gray, the Palmeltoes wearing coats, while the other clubs have the blouse or hunting shirt. White pants are prescribed, and Jupiter Pluvius ls respectfully requested to restrain his frowns and not disturb the pleasure of the day. The club3 will meet at Archer's Hall, corner ot King and George, at eight, o'clock, and will march down King and through Hasel to Meeting, down that street and through Broad, and np East Bay to the ferry wharf. The day will be spent in the target exercise, with a pleasant Interlude by Tully, and after the return of the clubs they will probaly pass through, the priucipal streets before disbanding. May wind and weather be propitious, and no fond anticipations of a good old time oe disappointed. " ACADEMY OF MUSIC. Love's young dream, the old, old story, was re-enacted on the boards last night. Mr. Booth makes a good Hamlet, and he is not a whit less himself in "Hamlet In love," as a distinguished critic calls Romeo. Mrs. Booth did full justice to the fair Juliet, and the oft-, told tale was listened to once again In joyous admiration and heartfelt sympathy by the vast throng that composed the auditorium last night Mercutlo (Mr. 8hewell) was gay and vivacious, as becomes that mercurial charac? ter, and elicited much applause. At the close of the play Mr. and Mrs. Booth were called before ihe curtain. The "Taming of the Shrew" was given as an afterpiece, affording the audience an excel? lent opportunity to observe the talented ver? satility of the actor pair who played the title role. Mr. and Mrs. Booth came forth from this trying ordeal unscathed, the most hearty applause giving proof of the approbation and delight of the audience. There will be a "grand matinee" to-day, "The Stranger" being the play set apart for that entertainment; and to-night the Booths will give their farewell in "Richelieu." IMPROVEMENTS AT HAMPSTEAD. The attention of the rambler through Hamp? stead is attracted to the operations of a bedy ot laborers engaged at the east end of Colum? bus street In opening what seems at first sight to be ??canal, through the tract of marsh land that Hes between the city and Cooper River, and his curiosity ls excited to know the object of the work. This ls nothing less than the beginning of-the long-promised extension of Columbus street eastward to the river. The laborers are now employed in throwing up embankments on either side of the surveyed Une, and the Intervening space will be filled up with the rubbish and garbage which ls daily collected by the city carts. The added portion will be about three hundred yards long, seventy feet wideband will be completed In a year's time. At the river terminus will be a large bulkhead, upon which ships will dis? charge merchandise Intended for use In the upper wards. Besides adding another delight? ful promenade lo the many now possessed by our city, the completion of this work will greatly enhance the value of property In the vicinity, aud will constitute the principal step towards the reclamation of an immense body of land which ls at present'utterly valueless. Already one of the most prominent firms of machinists In Charleston Is contemplating the establishment of branch works at the river end of this new street, and we may confidently look forward, within the next eighteen months, lo seeing busy crowds, new bouses and blooming gardens, where there ls now, comparatively speaking, but a wilderness.

Justice Mackey thereupon Issued a warrant for Rosewood's arrest, and the constable Anding him yester? day afternoon on board of a vessel lying at one of Ihe wharves attempted to arrest him, when the captain interiered to prevent the arrest, saying that Rosewood had sigaed arti? cles to go with him, and had received an ad? vance of wages. The constable relumed to Justice Mackey, who then went with him to the vessel and loslsied upon the arrest, where? upon the sailor was given up, and will be ex? amined ibis morning upon the charge of de. serilon. -1 A CASE OF 8OFT SOAP.-Some time since, the courteous and energetic agent for the dis? tribution of Babbitt's soap in this city was ap? proached by a young man of gentlemanly ex? terior, against whose insinuating address no mortal agent could have been proof. A warm friendship sprung up. The two sojourned in Summerville as Intimate as possible. Thurs? day the agent was called to ihe city on busi? ness, and tearing himself from the society of bis lrlend, he went upon his dally tour dis? tributing that inestimable blessing, Babbitt's best soap, to all along the highways and by? ways of our duaiy city. The friend In Sum? merville was wretched. He went to bis agent friend's apartment, and In the afternoon sud? denly disappeared. It was feared that he had committed suicide from grief; but when that agent returned at dusk to Summerville, he found his satchel open, and two rolls of bills containing three hundred and forty dollars were not where they should have been. That friend has not been Been since. Telegraphs and watchmen have been worked, but nothing his turned up. It ls thought that the nice young man ls bound Northward to a fashiona? ble watering place.
