Tlic Kate Putnam Company tn the "Old Curiosity 8 bop." Toe Kate Putnam Comedy Company made their first appearance on Charleston boards last evening at the Academy, and produced at once a most favorable Impression. The play was a dramatization of Dickens's famous "Old Curiosity Shop." Dickens's stories lend them? selves easily to dramatic, or rather perhaps we should say, to theatrical representation. There ls but little unity In his plots, almost no broad truth to natnre in his characterization, and absolutely none of that first essential of art, proportion, In the conception and devel? opment of his great pictures of human life. These detects, however so evident to the cool student of his novels, almost entirely disap? pear when the novels - beeome melo? dramas, and the pure comedy which was hampered and constrained in the pages of the written book, is allowed to strut and fret its hour upon the far more conge? nial stage o? the theatre. The characters which In the long-drawn-out novel were cari? catures, no sooner don Bock and buskin and appear before us In the flesh, than they be? come irresistibly attractive friends and over? poweringly amusing companions. Comedy does not care for plot, and melodrama des? pises the dramatic unities, therefore the weak? ness of yie novel becomes the strength of the play, and the glare of the footlights, which was always suggestively evident in the book, lights up Into their true individuality and dis? tinctness the familiar faces of Ll tie Nell and the Marchioness, Mister Dick Bwlveller, Quilp and Sallie Brass, j Misa Putnam could hardly have chosen a better mode of Introducing herself than In the character of the Inimitable marchioness. Her genuino comi? power, her thorough natural? ness arid marked originality, found a most striking expression in this curiously grotesque and yet most pathetlo and touching of Dickens's conceptions. Long before the first act was over she had, with the subtle magne? tism of genius, put herself perfectly en rap? port with her delighted audience, and the vociferous applause wblch called her out as as the curtain fell for the first time, waa only the unavoidable tribute to her remarkable success. We reoord lt as a deliberate opinion that her acting In this character ls a real masterpiece, and ought to secure for her a durable reputation. As Little Nell she was simple and unaffected, and made tho most of a character which pos? sesses scarcely a single claim to dramatic or artistic interest; but as the Marchioness she rose at once into the high sphere of original power. Her versatility and spontaneousness were displayed also to great advantage In the variety-scene at Mrs. .farley's Show, where her danceB and songs were appropriately In? troduced. But we need not multiply words. It ls enough to say that Miss Putnam ls charming. The old-fashioned word describes her well enough. The support was very good, especially so In the instances of Quilp (Mr. Be 1 vil Byan) and Dick Swlveller (Mr. Edwin Browne.) The company are well trained, and act together smoothly and effectively. The house was a good one, but not so large as Miss Putnam ought to have. We repeat, that nothing so piquante, original and taking, as this young actress has appeared here lor many a day, and the play-goingpubllo will not be slow to find lt out._ A BUST SHIPYARD. A Steamer, a Dredge and a Marine Railway In Gents or Construction at the Foot of Inspection Street. The shipyard of Messrs. Pregnall A Brother, at the east end of Inspection street, ls Just now a scene of unwonted activity. These gentlemen have just begqu the construction of a wrecking Bteamer for Professor Mallle? fert, the well known contractor for the re? moval of obstructions from the harbors of Southern ports. The steamer will be 100 feet long, by 28 feet beam and 8 feet- depth o? hold below the guards. She will be constructed ol the best live oak timbers, with yellow pine planking. The Instrument of propulsion will be a screw worked by the engines which pro? pelled the famous Confederate ram Merrimac These engines have been raised lrom the wreck of the Merrimac at the bottom of tbe James Biver by Professor Malllefert, and re? paired at Richmond, Va., expressly for the steamer now building by the Messrs. Pregnall. A large force of hands ls at work upon tbe steamer, and she will be completed in about ninety working days, at a cost of $23,000. She will be supplied with elegant cabin ^ac commodatlons, will have a carrylog capacity of about 300 tons, and will be used In trans? porting wrecking material from points along the adjacent coast lo Charleston, and for con? veying Professor Malllefert to and from the city and the numerous scenes of his sub? marine operations. The Messrs. Pregnall have also nearly com? pleted one o? the largest dredging machines in the United States, for Messrs. Campbell, Wylie A Co., the recent purchasers of the Oak Point Phosphate Mines on Bull River. This dredge ls 80 feet long by 28 wide, and la built In the most substantial manner, with double timbers.and braces throughout. The crane to which the dredging apparatus ls attached alone weighs 32,000 pounds. The dredge Is furnished with two decks, upon the upper ot which ls a comfortable and commodious cabin for the use of the engineer and fireman. The dredge ia also supplied with 4 engines, 2 with 12 inch diameter cylinders for hoisting the I dipper, and 2 with 8 Inch cylinders for shifting I the -crane. The dredging machinery was made by Starbuck & Bros., of Troy, N. Y., alter the patent of B. B. Osgood, the superin? tendent of the Marine Blver Phosphate Com? pany of thia city. The dredge will be finished in the course o? two weeks. During the past summer the Messrs. Pregnall built two dredges of similar size for the Marine Blver Phosphate Company, which are now successfully at work in Stono Blver. The same firm are building a marice rail? way 300 feet long by 20 feet wide, which will be capable of hauling up any vessel under a ship in size. The ways will be worked by a steam engine placed at the upper end of the railway. The railway will be in working order in the course of the next six weekB. HOTEL ARRIVALS-DECEMBER 1G. th arie H ton.

Many of the advertised and unadvertised slops which unscrupulous speculators are trying to per? suade the credulous are "as good as Hos telter's Bitters," bear a like superficial re? semblance to that Inestimable vegetable res? torative. Quite a number of these dangerous fungi have - started up within the last two years, and doubtless many worthy people have been poisoned by them. Some of these wolves wear the sheep's clothing of pretend? ed morality, and inveigh against medical stimulation as they vend their acid poisons; while others offer their liquid compounds of "forty rod rum" and condemn drugs under the slang names of "Eye Openers'" "Morning Glories," "Cobweb Cutters," and the like.

The demand was mainly for consumption. But on Wednesday the market af sumed a Armer tone, and futures were higher. The receipts at the ports for the four days or the week showed a failing off of more than 6000 bales compared with the same days of the p-evlons week, and of more than 8000 bales compared with the corresponding period last year. At the same time the export demand became brisk. On Thursday (yesterdav ) the market opened buoyant, and excited The demand for cotton on the spot was good from both shippers and spinners; ad? vices from abroad reported small stocks of American cotton, and the shorts becoming alarmed purchased eagerly to cover their con tract-, causing an advance of KC on the spot and for future delivery, with the principal demand for this and the following three months. To day there was some reaction, with a decline of KC in lower grades, under more lloeral receipts at the ports, and futures, with reduced short interest, fell off l-leaKo for months, i he prices of futures last reported were, basis low middling. 19 8-16 for December, 19X for January, lg 9-16 for Febrnary, 19j{ for March. 20 8-18 Tor April. 20 7-16 for Hay. and 20Xo for June.

LONDON, November 28. The principal Ironmasters ol Monmouthshire and South Wales have unanimously resolved npon a reduction of ten per cenc?a the tate of wages. This step has been decided npon In con? sequence or the scarcity or orders for manufac? tured Iron, lt having been found impossible to keep the works going at present prices The Iron? masters also deolded npon reducing the price of rail* from 40s to sos per ton. or from ?io los to ?8 10s or ?9. This re net lon will affect not only the Iron workers, bot the col lera employed by the Ironmasters, and also, nnder the terms or the arbi? tration agreed to last Febrnary, the colliers em? ployed hy the steam coal owners throughout Monmouthshire and sonth Wales. It will now be seen whether the men will act opon the resolution passed at the annual conference or the Amalga? mated Miners' Association at Walsall and resist the threatened reduction. The price of the best Northumberland steam coals was yesterday offi? cially reduced 2s per ton; that ls, from 20s to i8a per ton; but they can he bought at a lower figure in the market. The official fall ls 79 per ton from the extreme rate current in the early part or oc? tober. QHANGE OF SAILING DAYS. INCREASED SERVICE.
