BosToNIANs, LOOK ArTHIs.-The Portland
Press gives an account of a captured prize
steamer that was condemned and sold in Bos-
ton, and renamed the Gen. Banks. 1t then
adds:
"An ugly rumor comes this way from St.
John. It's openly asserted in that city that
this steamer, so admirably calculatedfor priva-
teering, or for evading the blockade, has been
sold to Halifax buyer VIGOROUSLY concerned
In the dangerous but remunerative commerce
with secessia, and paid for with Nassau funds
The steamer was sold in St. John, and re-
sponsible men there assert that she was sold
under these circumstances. If the report is
false, it should be authoritatively contra
dicted, and we sincerely hope to be able to
publish such a contradiction. But, if it is
true, let the disgrace and shame of fitting out
possible privateer to prey upon New Eng
land commerce, and if not privateer, yes
sci to convey munitions Of war to the public
enemy, be fastened upon their owners, who
have brought their ship to good market in.
deed, but have sold with it their patriotism
their honor, and their reputation"
If this statement is not true, let it be com
pletely contradicted at once, without any
vague generality or equivocation of language
If it is true, let the names of the offending
parties be at once given to the public for scorr
and execration.

Amidst the multitude of appeals to the public
in behalf of concerts, theatrical entertainments,
and negro buresque, the lovers Of elegant music
should not suffer themselves to forget the Men
delssohn Club. Their announcement is for Mon
day. Al opportunity for refined enjoyment such
as this should not be suffered 10 escape We
should remember how generously they postponed
their last concert for the advantage of The pri-
vate theatricalS, and the fact that they incurred
the usual loss thereby should not be overlooked
A postponement is almost always disastrous.
The last experience of our gentlemany friends
formed no exception IL would be credtable to
our city TO make generous response to the pres
ent call. Ii we can fill Mechanics Hall to listen
to negro minslrelsy and stale jokes, we ought to
show that these is a taste for something more no.
bic in this city, by occupying every seat in the
moderate space of Brinley. Surely, there ought
10 be five hundred people in Worcester who can
enjoy the higher styles of music, and if there be
not thar small number it is high time that we
should put our aesthetic capabilities in course
of right education, until We are assured of
enough of good and pure taste 10 save our city
from reprOacn. +. II
