AMUSEMENTS. ?ootrr* Farewell Por?orcn?.ncr-A Bril? liant Success In Richelieu. Last Saturday night Hr. Junlus Brutus Booib, with his talented wife and flue com? pany, closed their highly successful Befoson of six nights at the Academy of"Music. The Im? pression loit as the result of their visit has be en, on the whole, exceedingly favorable.and Mr. Booth bas In most of bis representation fully sustained his' high reputation. It was only in the characters of Benedick and Borneo, on Tuesday and Friday nights, that room waa lett for any serious adverse crltl- J clem; while in the far more exacting and diffi? cult roles which he assumed on the other evenings of his engagement, bis Hamlet, Blchard, Iago and Richelieu, were each ol them models ol dramatic Impersonation. It is not, however, too much to say that Mr. Booth achieved his most complete success In the Impersonation, last Saturday evening, of j ''Richelieu,'' in Lord Lytton's historical drama ot that name. The role ls confessedly one of the most difficult In modern English drama, the very incongruities of the character which attracted' the metaphysical mind of the author and made the life of the Iron-willed cardinal a j flt study for his keenly analytical genius in? vesting it with uncommon difficulties of rep? resentation. The Bichelten of the author ls a bewildering combination o? divergent pas* slons, all of the utmost Intensity, and each visible in turn and. asserting Its supremacy, while the human frame In which this battle o?, the passions ls forever raging ls a frame trem? bling and tottering with Infirmities of age, a j body almost, crumbling with decay before the grave has closed over lt, a worn figure of a decrepit, dying man. It ls the apotheosis of ] moral pawer joined to the antithesis ot physi? cal decrepitude; lt ls the Indomitable soul lashing the worn-out body into miraculous en- J ergy of action, and wresting triumph from the j conditions ol defeat. It will be admitted that thia ls not a role that ls easy of conception or J execution, and It must also be admitted that Mr. Booth has succeeded rarely In both his comprehension of the char? acter, and his reproduction of lt to his audience. The exacting make-up ol the char? acter was managed to perfection, and the. audience eaw- not Mr. Booth, not any man of this century or country-but the veritable lace and figure of the stern old cardinal, with bis gaunt cheeks, his massive forehead, his bril? liant eye, deep Bunk beneath the shaggy eye? brows, but flashing forth that Indomitable will that kept alive the failing body, and his flow-1 ing hair and soldier-like beard, not whitened | with the snows of peaceful age, but grizzled j and Iron-gray with a life o? battle. Nor were I fiie conflicting emotions which swayed this master-mind, comprising the whole range of j human passions, less skilfully portrayed. The audience saw and felt the rapid alternations of | love, hatred, anger, craft, jealousy, all con? trolled and moulded by ambition, and culmi? nating at times In outbursts ol scorn and rage ?bat were sublime in their intensity. Such an outburst was depicted in thowell known scene where Richelieu, npon Julie's appeal for his protect ion, meets ber enema's argument of power with bis weapon of spiritual authority, draws a, ma gie circle round the lady and defies ber pursuers to enter lt, while be burls upon their shrinking headB the blighting curse of Holy Church. In this scene Mr. Booth was grand, and throughout the play, down to the last supreme moment when the leeble cardinal j springs with almost superhuman energy from bis dying couch and confronts, dismays and routs his enemies in their very moment of triumph by one master stroke of genius, the ; Impersonation was powerlully sustained and the complex character presented to the life. Of the other members of the company much cannot b'e said except of Mrs. Booth. This lady ls without a doubt the most talented, finished and cultured actress that has delight-1 ed a Charleston audience for many years. Her uJulIe** of Saturday night was simply per? fect. The r?le is not one that ls especially prominent In the construction of the play and, In lac t, there are but few dramas in which the whole burden ol acting and the whole in? terest of the plot centre BO completely upon the leading character as In this case they do j on Richelieu, but what there was for Mrs. Booth to do was done with such consum? mate grace and dignity as to prove her an artist of rare skill and merit. In the inter-1 view with Bar ad as, the look o? Indignant scorn with which she repelled bis advances, and the devotion with which she chose to share the death ol ber husband, Mauprar, rather , than purchase his life with her dishonor, f ( were superb pieces of acting, and received the emphatic applause of the large audience. The other characters were fairly rendered, but the support was bot, on the whole, BO good as the merits ol the leading actors deserved, and the company might be Improved, and the honors of the performance rather more equit? ably distributed, by a Judicious weeding out ol some of the members. The fflartlnettl-Kavel Troupe. This splendid company of pantomimic artists open at the Academy oi Music this evening, with two ot their best pieces-''Jocko, or the Brazilian Ape," and .uPat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake, Baker's Man," and from the large saje ot re? served seats on Saturday, a very full atten? dance ls expected. The company has just concluded a brief engagement at Savannah, and tbe local papers speak highly ol their per? formance. The News, of Saturday, says : A large .bouse last night welcomed at the theatre th e.ve ry best pantomime troupe this country bas ever seen. The entertainment was the' great spectacular fairy and comic pantomime entitled the ''tireen Monster," and the performance was so far superior to that of any other company that lt is unnecessary to institute a comparison In order to note the excellence of this over every other panto? mime troupe. Ibo concluding one act new comic trick and fairy pantomime entitled "Pat-a-Cake, Pat-a-Cake, baker's Man," took the house by storm, and Julien Martlneltl, as Bobby Sl.vdog, who minds everybody's busi? ness but his own, must have ielt satisfied by the applause which greeted him whenever he appeared. H ' The German Church Benefit. Next Friday evening the amateurs of the Bruderlicher Bund will give a peformance o? griller's famous play, The Bobbers, for the benefit Pf the new German Church. A dress rehearsal to?* PIace yesterday afternoon at the Academy of lu?eIc> and WttS ver7 success- j t ful. It is evident Jthat the P^J will be-carefully | ? put upon the siage and well performed, and a large attendance should be secured, no tess J j for the very worthy object for which the per- ! e lormance is elven than for- the* merits of the ] i performance itself.

C., on Wednesday, and continued Us sessions throughout the week: The attendance was unusually large, aud the meetings peculiarly Interesting and harmon! ouB. The opening sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. Girardeau, of this city. The Rev, Dr. Howe, the last moderator, presided at the opening of the proceedings, and until the moderator for the ensuing year was elected Rev. G. B, Brackett, of this city, was elected as such moderator, and presided throughout the sessions. All ol' the ministers of tbe Pres bytery were present, except two venerable I brethren whose years prevented their attend ' ance, and two others who are absent from the State. All the churches were represented except Ave, and these were mainly among the desolated churches of the seaboard. The subject of domestic missions occupied much attention. The Presbytery has already two Evangelists laboring In the depopulated districts, and made provision for an increase of Evangelic labor. The pastoral relation be? tween the Bev. J. T. McBryde and the Aiken Church was dissolved, and Mr.-?cBryde was appointed Evangelist to the churches of Aiken, Beach Island and the contiguous territory. The committee of domestic missions were em? powered, If the way be clear, to employ another Evangelist ?or the lower part of the State. The Presbytery took occasion to express, by the very hearty and unanimous adoption ol a paper presented by-the Bev. Dr. Smythe; Its deep interest In, and desire for, Christian co? operation with the only representative church of French Protestantism in this country-the Huguenot Church of this city. The speech of Bev. Dr. Girardeau, In seconding the motion for th?-adoption ol the paper, was character? istically fervent and eloquent. Mr. C. E. Chichester, of this city, a student in the Theological Seminary ia Columbia, was duly examined and licensed to preach the Gospel. Mr. Joseph L. Stevens, of John's Island, was authorized to labor as au exhorter. The Rev. C. S. Vedder, who, for ten years bas been stated clerk ol the Presbytery, was compelled by pressure of other duties to resign that office. The Presbytery, after a resolution of thanks to the retiring clerk, elected Rev. William H. Adams, of this city, stated clerk. The Bev. George Howe, D. D., was elected ministerial commissioner to the General As? sembly, and the Bev. W. H. Adams, alternate. Dr. W. F. Robertson was elected commission >r from the eldership, and Dr. W. H. Wyman, alternate. Beach Island WSB appointed the next place >f meeting, on Thursday before the second Sabbath of October, at ll A. M.

THE RULING PASSION.-On Saturday after- ai loon Robert Artope, a prominent character c< imong the light-fingered gentry, who had t nade his escape from the House of Correction d' whither he hod-been sent SB a pun i sh me n t for T >ne of bis kleptomanie feats, was .'captured by EC ;he detectives while making bis escape. Rob- st jrt had taken with him a pair of pants belong- cl ng to the keeper of the House, and will have e' JO answer for this theft also at his examina? tion this morning. m - ci A RUNAWAY AND SMASH-UP.-Yesterday lt liternoon, Just after the arrival of the steam hip Georgia, tbe horses attached to one of *"' he many backs upon the wharf took fright ! md ran off. A gentlemen was about stepping p nto the vehicle^ and bis son, a boy of about w wei ve years of age, was already ia when the torses 'started, the .driver being'down on the ec vharf. The animals rushed among a lot o? ?ales, barrels, Ac, and finally left the carriage gI iverturned among some large timbers which 1,1 vere lylog on the wharf near the gate. The ni wy was thrown out and escaped unhurt, and .* he horses were secured some distance down ei he Bay, near Market street. No one was ai tart, but the carriage was completely de- hf nolished. b< ?-* . m REVENUE OFFENCES_Saturday was a busy th lay with the United States commissioner. w five prisoners were brought before him on cs .arlous charges, and disposed of as follows : ar Joseph H. Gooch and Henry D. Malloy, of a 3heraw, charged with having tobacco In their a >osses8lon not properly stamped, were bound th iver fo - trial at the present term of the Ir. Jolted States Court. In both these cases the th )Hence was a tri ill ng one, and seemed princl- a jally the result of a want of prudence on the hi uart of the defendants In not examining pack- m iges of tobacco Bold to them by others. Henry Clark and Julius Brown, of Marion tb Courthouse, charged with selling manufac- Ct ured tobacco without the proper revenue ce itamps, were also bound over to appear. M A. E. Phillppy, of Charleston, charged with fe luying tobacco boxes upon which the revenue an tamps had not been obliterated, was e~ m flt ned and discharged. * " aI, I H E M sc B ec ld gi bc tr bj AN UNFORTUNATE WiTNE^._About two ?'clock on Saturday afternoon as two colored nen, the one a witness \a tbe United States Jourt, from the '-.p^untry, and the other lamed Saul Cuthbert, were standing and alklng ?Tj EDiott street, Saul was -seen to ,rePLt off suddenly and run rapidly down four-post alley and through Broad street to East Bay. The rustic witness filled the air with stop thief, and a warrant was Immediately procured from Trial Justice A. M. Mackey for the arrest of Saul, on the charge of having snatched the wit ress' pocketbook containing $130, and run off with it. Saul was soon arrested, and denied the charge. Upon ex? amination, however, the pocketbook ol the witness was found in his possession, contain? ing one dollar and twenty cents only. The prisoner was sent to Jail to await his further examination tc-day. SUN DAY-SCHOOL CELEBRATIONS. St. John's Lutheran Sunday-School. The anniversary exercises of this Sunday school took place yesterday afternoon iii the church In Archdale street. The church Itself | was neatly dressed for the occasion, and the chancel was beautifully decked with garlands of roses and fresh spring flowers. Besides the pupils of the Sunday-school, who occupied tbe central part of the churob, a large congrega? tion had assembled long before four o'clock, and every seat In the body of the church and the galleries were Ailed. Among those pres? ent were the pastor, Kev. T. W. Dosh, the Bev. Dr. Honour, and lu his accustomed place was Been the venerable Bev. Dr. John Bacbman. The bright spring, afternoon, the happy faces o? the children, and the beautiful dressing of J the church, made up a lovely and Inspiring picture. The exercises were opened with the beauti? ful chant uBenedlc Anima Mea," after which ihe Bev. Dr. Honour read the fifth cbapter ol 1st Peter. The children of the school then olned in Binging the hymn "To-day we come with singing." This and several other hymns it'lnterval8 were sung by the children wlin a "ervor'and sweetness which formed an attrac .ive feature of the exercises. The Bev. Mr. Dosh then offered up a prayer, and afterwards lellvered a simple and touching address on j he subject, "Thou, God, seest me." Mr. R. G. Cbisolm, for twenty years the I luperlntendent o? the sunday-scbool, next ead his annual report, containing a most in eres ting exhibit of the prospects and work- j ogs of tke school, and a complete resume of ts history for the past year. On the roll o? . be school there are now (said the report,) I ix officers, nine male and thirty-two female eacbers, seventy-five boys and one hundred J1 od ten girls. Borne three months since the I j lour lor holding, the Sabbath exercises was hanged, and they commenced after the I norning service. This fact alone diminished j he number of pupils by fully one hundred. I ^ luring the year ten teachers had left the city. I ( 'hey could now rejoice In the completion of j he new Sunday-school building, which could j eat fully two hundred persons in its large J all, and seventy-five In the class-room ad- j ' lining it. Thia building had cost four thous- j nd dollars, and would require one thousand 11 ollars more to finish lt properly. One half 11 f this sum bad already been donated by the ' Dogregation, and by the ''Lutheran" and I 1 Yan Bora" Societies. The dedication of the I ew building had been postponed, and would I * ike place at the aanuat meeting o( the Synod i May next. The regular attendance among I * ie pupils was marked daring the most trying I, ?sons. Prises had been awarded to twenty I c upi ls, and the limit admits of an absence of 11 nly two Sabbaths during tbe year. Ia The iollowiog are the names ef the pupils to Ic bom the prizes were awarded: Present every Sabbath during the year: 18 Tillie Johnson, Eleanor Mahoney, Julia 10 mi th, Amelia Pundi, Henry B.

I c This school held Its anniversary celebration I ?sterday at the church in Hasel stree*. Tu I p te morning the assembled school and con- J v rc cation were addressed by the pastor, Bev. I i Whitefoord Smith, D. D., who preached an In- b .ructlve sermon upon the proper parental r alntngo? youth. At the close of the sermon j j. Samuel A. Nelson, the superintendent of c ie Behool, submitted his annual report. It I j lowed that the school bad been opened every 11 aobath during the past year, and the average p Ltendance have been twenty-six officers and t ?achers, and one hundred and twenty one pu? lls. Total one hundred and lorty-seven. Fifteen I b rthe pupils had Joined the church since the last 11 universary, and the roll now embraced, offl- I u MTS and teachers, male seventeen and lemale s veniy-Beven; and scholars, male one hun-1 v red and female one hundred and thirty-five, otal two hundred and seventy-nine. The ?hool lost two of Ita teachers and seven molars by death. The congregation and illdren were afterwards dismissed until renlng, when the exercises were resumed. I s These were of a most Interesting nature, j J id long before the hour the church was ? owded. The pupils and teachers occupied \ ie pews in the middle of the cburcb, while E ie congregation flowed into those along the S de aisles. - The galleries were also soon msely orowded, and lastly, every available ace In the aisles or within the open doors r ere filled with persons, standing or Bitting I j i chairs. The church was handsomely deck- j 1 for the occasion. Around the whole length the spacious galleries hung festoons of ever- I -eens and floating moss, looped up at each J Uar by a beautiful bunch of partl-colored ii ural flowers. In the inverted arches ol .e festoons lovely wreaths ol green and flow- I r a depended from the ceiling ol the galleries, I f id from each brilliant gas burner draped ? tnglngs of hoary moss. The pulpit had 11 ;en removed from the altar, which was trim- ? ed with chaplets and green leaves around I v e edge, and these were graced at intervals j r 1th vases of beautilul spring flowers. On I a ich corner stood large flower-decked urns, I c id at the back of the altar, against the wall, 1j? large cross reared Its emblematic form from I g mound of flowers. The lresh evergreeos, t e varied coloring of the flowers, their soft % agrance, and the tastelul manner in which e decorations had been disposed, added not little to the beauty ol the scene, to which e indreds of smiling, youthful faces lent an ani-1 F ated background. ' 11 The exercises were opened by the singing ol j C e hymn, "What shall the harvest be," by the illdren of the school. At the head Pt t?;s j a mtral aisle was a melodeon, played by Miss ? ary K. Mood, who led the singing. She was r Ho wed by the children with a correctness n id sweetness which reflected credit upon the 16 VGlces and careful training of the youthful 0 agers. Various hymos were sung at inter- JJ ils during the exercises, and tbe young vo- t .lists did not lail to improve the favora- 0 e impression which their first effort had ? ade. A prayer waa next offered up by the ? Bv? W. P. Mouz>n, after which the assistant * \stor, B. D. Smart, introduced the speakers, t id first Master Hervey M. Weekley, who de- jj rered the salutatory address. Master Wilson iller then Bpoke on the subject "Look Aloft,'-' hlch was followed by a dialogue entitled t Young America," spoken by Masters Jas.
