Portland. Zone of the line of screw steamers
running to Quebec in the summer season and
to Portland in the winter) but without yet af-
fording any assurance of positive success on
the part of the Allied Army before the walls
OF Sebastopol. The Canadian merely brings a
rehashing Of the the Asia's news, giving a few
additional particulars of the sortie at Balakla-

was considerably greater than first accounts
represented. No additional information essen

MAssACHUsETTs.-The Providence Journal
says fuller rcturus from Massachusetts come in
more favorably for the wings. Another whig
has been added to the House of Representatives.
He is elected in Lenox, thus, as the Boston
Jonrnrl triumphantly remarks "swelling the
number of wings in that body to seycn." 1t is
hut candid to admit that this does not change
the majority, nor will the retur,.s yet to come

IIoLD HARD The Sbeboygan (Wis) Jour
