THE Boston TRADE.-Tho steamship Geo. B.
CPlon, Captain CRowELL, arrived last night from
Boston, after the admirable run of ninety hours
from wharf to wharf This ship is growing rapidly
IN the public favor-both in consequence Of her
excellent sea-going qualities and the efficiency Of
hor officers. She brings full freight consigned to
merchants here and the interior and her enter

much success to increase the rapidly growing
trade between Boston and this point. The Geo.

Atkons Row and the force pumps carried OF The
detectives werc notified of the seizure, and went
to work with their usual alacrity to trace tho

we're successful, and Officer LEVY found the rem
nants Of tho pump in junk shop. The keeper
gave tho names of the freedman from whom he
had purchased the copper, and they wero soon
secured and lodged in jail. The pump was SO bat
tered and broken that its identity was nearly de-
stroyod, and was bought as old copper. Thefts Of
this description will become moro frequent if the
thieves can always ind such ready disposal Of their
villainous profits as the junk shops afford These
shops are general nuisance, and are connected
indirectly with nearly every robbery Of metals that
takes place in the city. II

9he helnons offence of stealing newspapers, was

pronounced by the forthcoming military tribunal:
REV JAMES A. DUNCAN, Of Virginia, is expected to
arrive in this city tomorrow. Although stranger
IN Charleston, he is well known to many Of our
citizens, especially to such as spent any time in
Richmond during the war. Mr. DUNCAN ali
through that period, was pastor of one of the
Methodist Churches in that city and also the edi-
tor OF the Richmond Christian Advocate Fe was.
perhaps, the most popular preacher in Richmond,
and his church (Broad street Methodist, afterwards
Centenary was always crowded. He is man Of
pleasing presence, good address, remarkably
nuent OF hne mental endowments, and very supe-
rior cultivation. No wonder, therefore, that he is
the favorte OF young and old at every place where
his ministrahons may call him. We are glad that
Mr.. CHAP1N, the interchangeable President Of tho
Young Mems Christian Association, has prevailed
on Mr.. DUNCAN to spend some time with us. He
is expected to pr ach in Trinity Church on Sunday
morning next, and on Sunday night to deliver q
lecture before the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton at the Citadel Square Baptist Church
MIR. DUNCAN is not unknown in the upper part of
South Carolina, having delivered addresses, etc,
at differ ant times, if we not mistaken at Spar
tanburs, There his father is Professor Of Ancient
Languages OF Wotford College. ..a.

would not be worth having, and tho calm retreats
OF philosophy arc only read about In the present
nge some little excitement is necessary to keep the
system in healthy state, and, with few excep-
hons, shopping answers this purpose admirably.
iNng street is the grand thoroughfare where those
who wish to see the fashions and examine the
latest styles congregate. The fair se1 are there
largely in the majority, and their demands for ar
1cles with unpronomcable names would puzzle
any one but an experienced clerk. .ii';;...
There is pc. hnps no place on King street where
there is greater variety of goods, and where the
latest patterns can be seen to better advantage;
than at MIR. JAMES B. BETS, No!H252 The store
Is large, light and airy and the stock unquestion-
ably Of the newest styles Of Spring goods An
evidence Of this is the crowds who daily attend to
select articles for Spring wear. Il Mr.. :BErrs ha.
had large experience In tie dry goods business
and his stock is one Of the most perfect in the
city, and those Who have delayed making thoi,
Spring purchase e should DO 80 no longer, but cal
at No. 252 md be supplied ;.;Ss S;.sa. 1 "a :.
