Britannia and Plated Ware Mandatory.

The proprietor of this establishment, Mr..
Rufus Durham, commenced business at Ste
vens' Plains, about p years ago, having for
the last five years an office in this city. As
business increased the transportation of the
material and the manufactured ware became
an item of considerable Importance, and he
was induced, about year ago, to remove to
this city. His establishment is now located
at the corner of Fore and Union streets. The
building, owned and occupied by Mr.. d., is of
brick, three stories high, 81 feet long by 81
feet wide, with basement and attic.
In the basement is steam engine Of about
II horse power, by which the machinery in
the various departments of manufacturing Is
propelled, and a rolling mill OF great power,
used in rolling out the metal. On the first,
floor is the counting room, and the sales
sample and packing rooms. On the second
floor are the lathes for Furnishing, turning,
&c. The finishing and soldering are also done
on this floor. On the third floor the casting
is done, there being mo uld for each of the
pieces which constitute the article TO be made.
The dies required are very expensive, and as
the styles are constantly changing many are
rendered valueless after being used but short
time. In the depository for dies and moulds
may be found large number thrown aside,
the aggregate cost OF which originally was not
less than $4,000.
The metal used comes in large bars, is passed
through the roller and run into the moulds or
dies. These pieces are turned, polished and
plated and then soldered together. Tin ware
is made in this establishment, Furnished and
finished to resemble the Britannia ware, and
is in many respects equal to it and can be af
f)rded at a much lower price.
We are not fully informed as to the extent
of business carried on at this establishment,
but it cannot be less than $4,000 a year.
Twenty men are employed in the various de-
partments, who make coed wages and rank
among our most industrious and ingenious
mechanics. The various articles manufacture
ed at this establishment, which comprise al
most everything made Of Britannia. find q
ready market in this State and Massachusetts,
and are sent to every part of this and into 9TH
err countries Traders In this State who have
been accustomed to purchase their Britannia
and plated ware in Boston or New York, by
calling on Mr.. Durham, may find that in quail
ity, style, price and in every other particu-
lar, they can do as well in Portland as in Bos-
ton or elsewhere,

Rev. Z. w. jackson, chaplain at Armory
Square Hospital, Washington, has our thanks
for his kindness in causing to be prepared full
reports OF the wounded Maine soldiers recent
ly brought TO the hospitals of that city, but
we find by running over the list, that the
names, with few If any exceptions, are the
same as those furnished US by Mr.. Brackett
Mt the @. NJ. Generals office.
Mr.. Bracket writes that all the wounded
are to be brought to Washington, stopping at
Fredericksburg and other points on the way,
IL at all, only temporarily, and that he will
forward the names as fast as they are report
cd. We do not think it worth while, therefore,
to copy all the lists forwarded by various par
ties, for by SO doing we should only repeat
the same sad catalogue over and over again.
Mr.. Chaplain Jackson says in note, May
10th, 1t is with us busy time. We have
twelve hundred wounded men mot from
Maine alone) to look after. The LIST
Maine Heavy Artillery passed through here
yesterday morning for the front In first rate
