The Chesapeake to be Restored to her O,cmers.

Court, yesterday, Judge Stewart decided that

sented and unjustly criticised by portion Of
the Halifax press, but subsequent research,
reflection and circumstances have confirmed

NEW YORK, Feb. II.
Mexican papers received here state that the
rumored abdication of Jaurez, rests upon the
statement of the San Louis correspondent OF
the Estafeth, who writes that at a cabinet meet
ing Nidarin, Ortega and Doblado advised the
step, and even threatened, if Jaurez did not
accede to the proposition, they would depose
him.
1t is also rumored that these chiefs will 90
over to the French party. The Estafeth SUBJ
sequently announced that Jaurez had resigned
and had been succeeded by Grtega. 1t was
the detection of Guadalajara from the national
cause which so discouraged Doblado and Or
tega that they opened negotiations for submit
ting to the French this information; however,
all comes through interested channels.

LECTURE BY Mr.. DoUGIAss.-The spa
cous City Hall never has been so full at any
time when we have been present, as it was
last evening. 1t seemed a physical impossi-
bility to place another person in it. Mr.. Doug
lass gave an excellent lecture, which for nearly
two hours was listened to with the most undi-
vided attention, broken only by the rapturous
applause of the immense audience. 1t contain
ed noble, unreseryed and unqualified trib-
ute to that honest man who now sits at the
head of this government.
BY the way, the new Hall Clock is up in
its place, and ,ehot place! 1t is as much as
ones neck is worth to look at it. Why not
place it above the window in the rear of the
stage, directly in front Of the audience?

NATIONAL BANK.-We notice that one of
the Bath papers makes some rather smart talk
about Bath being ahead of Portland on the
matter OF National Bank Well, what of it I?
We said the other day that the State of Maine
was entitled tea special depository for govern
ment funds, without depending upon Boston,
and that the Secretary Of the Treasury would
appoint our new National Bank for such
purpose. Our Bath friends seem to have
overlooked one provision of the law, which
provides that the deposit OF the Government
shall not exceed the capital of the Bank.
Now the capital of the Bath Bank is but
100000 and cannot exceed 100000, while
our Bank will commence active business with
a capital of at least $500, 900, with privilege to
increase it to 81 100000.
Uncle Sam would probably not be aware Of
one pleasing little delusion which is cherished
in certain part of this State-that great is
the Kennebec, Perhaps we cannot get the
State House changed, but there is one kind
Of capital that Portland will havel

srThe Bangor Wing may think, by abuse
OF our correspondent, to relieve its own hagi-
tous act of virtually threatening to throw
firebrands into the election and to give the
State over to the embrace of copperheadisn,
should the seat of Government at Augusta be
disturbed, but we doubt it. We have talked
with several prominent citizens of Bangor
within week, who denounce the course OF
that paper in this thing, and protest against
its being regarded as an exponent of Bangor
sentiment on the removal question, and who
go over to disloyalty for so paltry a considera-
ton. The Wing, in this matter, is the organ
of Kennebec, and not of Penobscot, as the
Democrat of that city better represents Rich
mond sentiment than that Of Bangor.
