I Mr.. RANKTN's BENEFr-This evening,
at Deering Hall, Mr.. Mckee Rankin takes a
benefit and makes his last appearance in this
city. The bill is an attractive one, and will
secure for him full house. Mr.. Rankin, we
judge, has made good impression upon the
friends of the drama in this city, and they will
show their appreciation of him by their at
tendance to night. he is an actor who seems
to have. good conception of his authors in
teuiions; who enters into the spirit of the
character he personates, and who, in many
parts, reveals degree of artistic talent that
entities him to a high rank in his profession.
To night he will be supported by the strength
of the entire company.

The american Journal of Conchology
quarto journal, published in Philadelphia, in a
very favorable review on the memoir Of the
PulmonUera of our State, by Edward S.
Morse, recently published by the Portland
Society of Natural History, says: "We feel
that we are but rendering justice to Mr.. Morse,
in saying that never before have such impor-
tant results of patient and minute study, APP
peared in any American volume on concholo-
gy, of the dimensions of the one before us
This work is substantial advance In concho-
logical science, and should stimulate us all to
renewed and painstaking researches, even up
on the species which have been supposed to
be we'll known to u.s." sassik af83I sstia5 III
The Smithsonian Institution have in prepar-
alton large work on the same subject, en-
bracing all the species in N. A. Prof. Henry.
Of that institution, addressed DR.. Wood, the
President of our society, requesting the use
OF all the cuts illustrating Mr.. Morse's re-
searches, los in number, to incorporate in
their work, which request was at once grant
ed; and thus the results of Mr.. Morse's la
bors published through the enterprise of our
Natural History Society, will be widely diff
fused. Shall the Portland Society be allowed
to continue the publication of similar research
es, or must this work so well begun, now
cease through the apathy Of those, who for
the pride of the city and State, and for the
cause OF science, should place the Portland
Society on sure and enduring foundaticnp We
hardly believe this last condition OF things will
be allowed. And when we consider that enc
gentleman in Boston has given sum to
Prot. Agassiz to pay the expenses of an expo.
dition to Brazil-a sum equal to that asked by
by the Portland Society to pay their debt and
provide working fund-we can hardly believe
that the Portland public will allow this society
to die through the want of their generosity.
NEGRO SHREwDNEss.--It is said that two
hundred colored men lately employed in the
hospitals at Itichmond have volunteered into
the rebel service and are being drilled; but it
is feared that the purpose of these fellows is
to get an opportunity to desert, which they
could not under the vigilance Of the hospital
guards. Nothing more likely. These Rich
mond darkies know on which side their bread
is buttered. This arming and drilling slaves
occasions good deal Of fear and trembling in
rebellion. Well it may, but the end is not
