The Wonders OF Porn.

Hon. Z. G. Squicr, late minister to Nicara
gun and commissioner to Peru, delivered
lecture in this city, not long since which WAS,
remarkable for its wonderful staie.hcnts. re-
garding the lattrr country. A charming ard
deeply interesting narrative was given Of the
perilohs travel on males over the Cordilicras,
sometimes through narrow aud rugged passes,
accommodating only beast and ridcr, and
sometimes, through gorges and over the beds
of the peculiarly wild Peruvian mountain tor
rents. At the altitude Of Ii ,o0e feet the
traveller found his hands and feet frezen, and
at $1,000 feet above the sea riders sometimes
fell from their horses, taken With the honor-
rhage irduccd BY the ratification Of the air.
at that great height On the arid and ble:!
sands ncav the mountains, great yellow win
rows, the ancient tpf,ali or buryins places
met the gaze A skeleton clothed in a wrap
per of beaten gold was lately dug up from
these sands Even before the adyenturer
rose the stupepdous barriers of-tlle Cordile-
ras, severe With eternal winter, and rigorous
in their solitary and barren .sublimty In
these mountain ranges Mr.. Sauier found the
weather greater hardship than The coolest
seasons Of the North, and had to travel not
unlike an Esqunaux. .s.49
Upon the basin lying between the Cordi-
leras and the Andes the lecturer devoted his
fertile memory and fancy, descril ins a region
wonderful in picturesque area, mineral re-
sources, and climate, but inhabited by pco.
pie of small wealth, thrift or knowledge, and
even negligent OF means to make their coun-
try productive. The basin the lecturer cal
culated to be over | 900 miles long and 2S9
broad Lamas becunas, here roamed the
wilds, and the solemn condor soared from bis
mountain eyrie. Here was the second great
est fresh water lake in the world, III 900 feet
above the sea-Lake Titicaca-which con-
tanned the sacred island from which the splen-
did Incas derived their origin and ordination,
in which was the cave where Nance Capac
took refuge, and where were ruins of ancient
temples, some of the best preserved probably
in the world. 1t was in reference TO the
source Of these lakes, always supposed to be
without any outlet whatever to the ocean, and
seated in country almost entirely enclosed,
and strangely differing from the rest of the
world, that the geographical problem existed,
to which the speaker drew attention 10 inG
the source Of theso2lakes, and to open up Pc
ru to active civilization was o conquest
worthy of American adventure. The New
World has its White Nile and Lake Naami
and the same inducements should be held out
to discovery as the Old World gives. its ex-
plorers. MIR. Squier condemned the absurd
idea started by Mr.. Many, of making a way
for emigration through the Amazon, showing
that travel was impossible By this route and,
even if practicable, would land the new comef
in uninhabitable wilds

SUPREME JUDICIAL COURT.

CRIMINAL TERM-BARROws, j., PRESIDING.
WEDNESDAY. The case of Jacob Lewis,
william johnson and Isaac Brown, indicted
for breaking and entering the shop of Cyrus
K. Babb, was finished. Mr. Butler made the
argument for the State, and the case was Civ
EN- to the jury by Judge Barrows in an elabor-
ate charge. The jury, after being out nearly
six hours came into Court and the foreman
reported that they were unable to-agree upon
verdict. They stood ten for conviction and
two for acquittal. The prisoners were remand
ed and the case goes over to the March term.
1t was expected that the case of George w.
Jones, against whom three indictments for ar
son had been found, in setting fire to the
dwelling houses on Federal Street on the night
of September 10th, would be next taken up
The Court had assigned Messrs. j. III. Drum
mond and j. ID. Simmons as his counsel, and
special jurors had been summoned. Mr.. Drum
mond stated to the Court that the principal
ground of the defense would be insanity ofthe
prisoner. As the counsel had had no time to
prepare for the defense, he moved a contnu
ance of the case to the next term, which me-
ton was granted by the Court, and the case
goes over to the March term. The special jul
rors summoned were dismissed.

their brawny arms they are now demanding

has been gained in Sweden. And the ball thus
kept rolling, will not stop till it has crushed

This celebrated vocalist, assisted by Mr.
Levy, the greatest living cornet player, and
Carl Rosa, an accomplished violinist, and some
others, will appear in concert at City Hall on
the evening of the 2Sth list. one week from
to-day. Our citizens have every reason to ex-
pect the most brilliant musical entertainment
ever given in this city. Parepa, Levy, and
Rosa are artists of worldwide reputation and
their music is OF the highest order. This will
be no ordinary concert, and we expect to wit
ness in our spacious Hall the most brilliant
and fashionable audience ever assembled
within its walls. We mean just what we say.
Portland has never been visited by three such
artists, and we hesitate not to say they will
give us the richest musical entertainment we
have ever had. We shall have more to say of
this musical banquet in store for orr citizens
as soon as the preliminary arrangements shall
have been made.

100000 were lost, and so quietly did the fire
rage that it was unknown to more than doz-

$4,000 International Bank Bills! The fire
was confined to the cellar of the Bank, lasted
ed all the afternoon, and was managed under
the supervision of several Directors of the
Bank, who seemed to enjoy the fun as keenly
as the boys do the bonfres on the shores of
Back Cove. The bills destroyed, were from
the aristocratic denomination of $1,000, TO the
unpretending, democratic figure of 81. At
six o'clock, the work of destruction was COM
