Lecture OF Gen. Banks.

The Mercantile Course opened last evening,
to a perfectly crowded house, with lecture on
our National Condition, by Maj. General N.
p. Banks, who for an hour and three quarters
held the immense audience spell-bound by his
forcible reasoning. n eel
Alter an appropriate opening, the lecturer
suggested three remedies against future evil
from the admission of the late revolted States,
to their usual relations to the Union 1st, the
exclusion of active rebels from control and the
exercise of political power; I'd, the emigration
of our surplus population to the south, and
Sd, the extension of the elective franchise to
the emancipated negroes.
Gen. Banks believes these are practical
measures; that the loyal people have right to
demand them as measures of security for the
future, and that they will have to be adopted
sooner or later; before the fun restoration of
those states to their former relations On
these points he believes the people are set in
have an opportunity to give expression to their
views before the work of reconstruction will
be done. This implies that the General, who
is to be member of the next Congress, has
no expectation of the admission of the mem
bers chosen in the south, to the House, at the
approaching session. fsrrr5s8s a5t. E
The lecture was able, hopeful, cheering, and
will do much good. We congratulate ouI
friends of the M. L. Association on the auspi-
cious beginning they have made. Theii
course of lectures is placed beyond success
and full houses are to be the order of the sea
son. :.
The music by the Portland Band, which
played three-quarters of an hour, prior to the
commencement Of the lecture, was exquisite
and grand, and elected great applause from the
audience, who were rejoiced to welcome theil
old favorites, under the leadership of Chand-
Ter and Cole.

THE CREW OF. THE SHENANDOAH The
Liverpool Post says that when the crew of the
Shenandoah landed they brought a large
quantity of luggage and seemed to have no
lack of money,-facts which indicated that
their long cruise had not been uIrewarded.
Attempts to draw them into conversation
rarely succeeded, and when they did it was
evident that they spoke rather to evade curl
osity than to satisfy it. The men, indeed, ap-
peared to be themselves quite in the dark as
to their position, and, though under the i'm
preston that they had done with the Shenan-
doah for good and all, appeared to labor under
a fear of committing themselves or their Off
GERS by some rash statement. Some of them
eagerly questioned the by-standers as to what
the English people thought of the Shenandoah.
"Many of the crew." says the Post, "are Liver
pool men, and these, Immediately on being
landed, drove off to their homes."'u

The statement made on the 10th inst. that
the French government had complained to
the Custom House authorities against five
steamers and sundry persons, the former as
destined to transport arms, &C., to Mexico,
was substantially correct.
n An extract from letter from an official,
states that clearance WAS refused asteamer
until she was examined by Collector King, the
Collector giving as reason for this course that
he had received protests against several vessels
in port, said to be preparing for illicit purposes
against French or British commerce.
A man named Jose Garcia Otero was horri-
bly, murdered near the Navy Yard, Brooklyn,
last evening" having been stabbed IL times.
Some $4,000 were taken from him by the muir

y 1t has been rumored that Gillian agents are
purchasing large quantities of arms and mate
rial of war; also, that vessels were fitting out
as privateers. The Gillian Govt does not pro-
pose at present to fit out privateers, or even
issue letters of marque.
No persons are authorized to purchase arms
or war materials here. 9. = Ff-isss

chamber over the first shop in Musseys block,
the entrance being flight Of stairs on the

though small, at that time accommodated all
the business that was transacted in that line.

Counterfeiters Arrested

Two men came to this city from New York
about week ago, and passed $50 United
States currency bill to man named Brown.
who soon afterwards discovered that it was
counterfeit. He hunted up the men, and found
them in the gambling establishment on Tenn
pie street, and made them refund the amount
with the exception of SIP, which they prom
ised to pay some other time.
The scainps then passed the bill on to Mr..
Charles Dame, who, on discovering that it was
a counterfeit, laid the1natter before the police.
Deputy Marshal Wentworth obtained a de-
scription of the fellows from Mr.. Dame, and,
with police officer Adams, hunted up the men
and found one of them in a gambling room in
Temple street, and the other in billiard room
on Federal street. They gave their names as
William Lemoor and Robert Crystel. 1t is
supposed they are old hands at the business.

Alleged Government Frauds at Psthole, P. a.

5 PTEoLE, Pa, Nov. %.
An examination before the U. S. Revenue
Assessors at Meadeville, of the proprietors of
certain wells on Pit Hole Creek against
which the Government has claims, was held
yesterday. The assessors and collectors had
reason to suppose there was more oil produced
during certain months, than had been return
ed for taxation. Upon inquiry, they found
that. the agents of certain wells, returned up-
on their reports only the value of the working
interest, and not the entire product of the
wells. An investigation was therefore called,
and it was found that some of these agents,
whether with intent to defraud or otherwise,
had claimed to have an understanding with
the. owners of the land, and free interest to
the effect that the latter should take their
share of oil from the lands, and pay their
share of the tax. The custom has heretofore
been for the working interest to pay the whole
amount OF tax, and collect the respective por-
tons from the land and free interests.
The decision of the assessors, made TO-DAY,
placed the penalty upon the free interest,
which is One-fourth of the oil; but referred
the matter to the chief commissioner at Wash
ington for final decision The working and
land interest showed receipts for revenue tax
for all oil up to November 80
The prominent operator who made over his
interests to large amount on the day the
governmentsmade their claim, was done, not
with view Of evading any claim, but was a
positive sale. nsJ dt lH4.t sas
The decision is attracting much attention,
md it involves a large amount of money, and
reyerses the decisions which have heretofore
been considered as law, and generally observed.

Female oounterseiter Arrested.

1t will be recollected that one Milton M.
Stewart was arrested about three weeks since,
in this city, for passing counterfeit U. s. frac-
tional currency, and was bound over to answer
at the U. S. District Court
A few days after his arrest, it was determin-
ed, from circumstances that had come to the
knowledge of the U. S. Marshal, to arrest
Stewards wife as an accomplice in the transac-
ton. But the bird had flown and the strictest
search OF officers could not discover her where
abouts. The case was then given to our City
Deputy Marshal Irish, who proceeded with his
accustomed vigor to work it up. He heard of
the woman's being in several places in Andres
coggin and Oxford counties, but could not lay
his finger on her until yesterday morning.
Wednesday, Mr.. Irish went to Paris and
found that the woman had been there, but
had gone to Norway. He proceeded to that
town, and found that she had been to three
different places. At the last one to which he
applied, he was at first told that she had been
there, but had gone, they knew not whittier.
Finally he worked it out of them that she had
gone to Lewiston, but was to return Thurs
day morning. Mr.. Irish then visited the place
where the horse had been obtained, and was
told that a man had hired horse and wagon
to go to Lewiston, to return Thursday, and
had driven off with it. He watched all night
in the rain, and, about o'clock yesterday
morning, heard the wagon approaching He
followed it to the stable, and saw man get
out. On examining the blanket over the seat
Mr.. Irish discovered the print of where ano-
Their person had been seated. He immediate
ly started down the road, and discovered q
female, closely yelled, approaching from a turn
in the road. He stepped forward and lifting
the veil discovered the person he was. after;
when the woman exclaimed, "You have got
me sure this time p ggs 8oe l97-.siF
Mr.. Irish brought the woman to Portland
yesterday afternoon, and delivered her over to
the U. S. authorities. His movements to ar
rest the woman deserve credit. Few persons
would have exposed themselves as he did dur
ing the peltlug storm Wednesday night, when
they could have been comfortably housed g

Mr.. Hoffman, citizen of this place, was re-
