AN ENGLISH OPERA TRoUPE-Campbell
& Castles English Opera Troupe will visit us
soon. Let them come. Portlanderslove good
music and always literally patronize those who
sing or play it. This troupe are highly spoken
of wherever they have performed. At Niblo's,
in New York city, they drew full houses and
were highly commended. The N. T. Times,
Tribune, Herald, and other journals, were loud
in their praises. Let them come, and we will
give them hearty reception. There are hun
dreds in our city who would go to an English
Opera and stay away from an italian or Ger
man one. This troupe perform Bales "Bo-
hemian Girl" an opera which is highly es.
teemed by all lovers of good music. There
are some melodies in this composition of Bale
that have a worldwide reputation. Again we
say, let them come, and their merits win be
duly appreciated.

QUoTA OF PoRTLAND.-It has been under
stood that the quota of this city under the last
draft was all filed, and that we had surplus
Of between forty and fifty to be credited on
the next call, if there should be one. This
belief arose from the circumstance of fifty-five
persons in the Revenue service having been
allowed the city by the Provost Marshal, sub
ject to the decision .of the War Department.
That Department has decided that persons on
board Revenue cutters are not to be consid-
cred as being either in the land or naval ser
vice, as they are under the control OF the Sec
rotary of the Treasury; ard orders have been
transmitted, to strike from the credit of
places all such persons of this class that have
been credited, and the deficiencies must be
Immediately filed.
Under this decision the fifty five men in the
Rsyenue service are stricken from the credit
Of Portland, and our city is now eleven short
of its full quota under the last call.

is a new vessel, this being her first trip. She
is of beautiful model, 800 feet long Custom

Independent Course Of Lectures
ON THE
STATE OF THE COUNTRY

The course of lectures delivered last winter in
the City Hall on the affairs of the Nation. by
distinguished gentlemen from different sections
OF the Union. having been SO universally appre-
ciated and sustained by the people; and in accor-
dance with the request of large number of our
citizens, and also in view of the continued dis
turbances with which the country is afflicted, it
is deemed advisable and useful to institute
another series of like character for the coming
winter.
Its believed that by this method of obtaining
the carefully considered and best thoughts of
able minds from different sections of the Repub-
lie, not only will the patriotic life of the people
be quckened, instructed and strengthened, but
that something may thereby be done to comfort
and mitigate the suferings of the sick and
wounded soldiers of Maine, who have perilIed
their lives that the life of the nation might be
preserved.
Inc proceeds of the course will be devoted to
the benefit Of the Portland Soldiers Home,
Inc management of the course will be under
the auspices of the following named citizens:
