Official Correspondents ssith Brasa u. Rels-
to" to the Capture Of the Pirate FLORIDA.
'@5ifo9 9N WASHINGTON, Dec. 81, !,
Official correspondence shows that on the
18th inst, the Brizilian Charge d,Afairs asked
Tor an explanation and reparation of the seizure
ofthe Florida, which his government consider
ed IS the individual act OF the commander of
the Wachusett not authorized or approved by
his government. .ge8ss a tse 81 -. 80
Secretary Seward replied jealousy of foreign
intervention in any form, and absolute nom
intervention In the domestic affairs of foreign
nations are cardinal principles In the policy OF
the United States. You have therefore Justly
expected that the President would disavoW
and regret the. proceedings at Bahia; he will
suspend Capt. Collins, and direct him to ap-
pear before court martial
The Consul at Bahia admits that he advised
and melted the captain, and was active In the
proceedings; he will therefore be dismissed -
The flag OF Brazil will receive from the United
States Navy the honor customary in the inter-
course offriendiy maritime powers Apoil roi s
The Secretary takes occasion to say this
government disallows the assumption that the
insurgents of this country are lawful naval
belligerants, and maintains that ascription of
that character by the government of Brazil to
insurgent citizens of the United States who
hitherto have been, and still are destitute of
naval forces, ports and, courts. is an act Of in
prevention and derogation of the laws of ma
lions and unffiendly, and wrong, as it is mani
testify Injurious to the United States askI1R
Secretary Seward also says although the
crew of the Florida are enemies Of the United
States, and. as they contend, of the human race,
yet offenders, were nevertheless unlaWfully
brought into custody Of this government, and
to punishment which they have deserved, nor
could they, being enemies. be allowed to enjoy
protection Of the United States. They viii
therefore be set at liberty, and seek refuge
wherever they may find it, with the hazard OF
recapture when beyond the Jurisdiction ofthis
government ~ 3'ssssa'f q 40 277a

Mr.. EDrroR:--A few weeks since there APP
peared in your paper an amusing jeu d esprit.
containing an appeal for apurer ali" evident
ly written by some halfsufEocated church
goer. It's arguments were most cogent, and I
would suggest that they be brought to the no.
tice Of persons having charge of the arrange
ment and ventilation of our City Hall on lee
ture nights. For several evenings the air in
the hall has been so hot and close that it was
impossible either TO speak or to listen with
any degree of comfort. To avoid fainting out
right, ladies have been obliged to rise and
struggle out through the crowd, thus causing
confusion painful to themselves and annoy
ing to every one else. On the night of Hon.
Mr.. Thompson's lecture the air Of the room
was so bad as to add greatly to the difficulty
experienced by the lecturer in speaking. Can
not something be done to remedy this evil?

THE FAKIR OF VIsHNU closed his exhibi-
ton here Saturday evening after the most un-
precedented runlof full houses that we have
ever seen in Portland. The truth is he does
things ION the square," His performances are
highly amusing. and the gifts he distributes
are all of them useful and some of them valu-
able. His matinee Saturday afternoon was a
perfect success, the hall being literally jammed
with ladies and6hildren. The sewing machine
was drawn by Mrs. A. B. Stephenson, No. 5
State Street The evening performance was
attended by as many as could get inside the
hall. Mrs. Jos. Bryant, MOI Middle street,
drew the sewing machine.
Tonight he performs in Lewiston and we
predict crowded houses for him in the spindle

NEW York, Jan. L.
The Richmond Examiner Of the 10th ult.
has the following: 1850
: Wilmington, N. c., Dec. 2s.-The Federal
feet has disappeared; only the usual block
aders remain. Gen. Bragg reports that with
the present disposition of means and forces no
danger need be apprehended. Had reinforce
ments arrived sooner we might have captured
many prisoners. The enemy drew up semi
circle and poured concentric nre into Fort
' Fisher, destroying every house and ploughing
up the ground. Col. Lambs garrison deserve
much credit, as well as the Junior Reserves.
The enemy threw overheard many horses in
the gale and suffered much otherwise. There
was another gale last night. esEsA 80
The Richmond Examiner of the 10th says:
The enemy shelled our lines between Dunlap's
and Petersburg yesterday with great yigor
but absolutely with no effect. Our batteries
wasted no ammunition in reply.
There is rumor that the Yankee troops are
again crossing to the north bank of the James,

lines Of Richmond 1t is also reported that
the enemy's vessels appeared in York River,
and that some troops had been landed at the
White House.
~ The Examiner says in an ironical item:-If
Porter had thrown Butler overheard perhaps
no storm would have blown the feet to sea
and deranged the physique and morale Of the
invincible amanda. The Examiner also says:
San official telegram Of the War Department.
states that two brigades of negro troops and
one of Whites cavalry left Memphis Dec. 31st,
moving on the State line road. The advance
reached Fayette depot on the ed. The OBJ
ject of the movements undeveloped.rf II r
lig The Richmond Wing of the 9th considers
the only point gained in the capture of Savan-
nah is its moral effect, and that is not much.
In a military point Of view It thinks Savannah
was of no value 10 the rebels whatever. The
Wing expects Sherman to move on Richmond
and says: He Is the very genius we desire
to see. and he will bring with him, some o
those Western veterans whose metal we desir
to test, for Grant has with him only some sevee
thousand veterans and the rest are the riffran
of creation, to defeat whom is no honor" . 4.

the Grand Trunk Depot on New Years eve.,
presented their worthy superintendent, Mr..
Jonas Hamilton, with a splendid silver tea SER
vice, as token of the high esteem and respect
in which he is held by them. ~ ~ s.ss,
The presentation was made in few words
by Mr.. Mitchell, foreman of the repair shop,
to which Mr. Hamilton briefly replied, thank

many years in the service of the Grand Trunk
company, and is much respected by the work
men. taii. - oaa
The. set consisted of eleven pieces Of beauti-

cost about three hundred dollars. Long may

the beautiful ware with which he has been
presented. ONE OF THEM.

HORSE RAILRoAD.-It will be noticed by
our advertising columns that the Horse Rail-
road Co., have declared dividend of SIS per
share, payable the first day of February. This
viii be gratifying Intelligence, especially to
those who subscribed and paid for the stock
when there was but slight prospect for any
returns for some years. That it would eventu-
ally be remunerated very few have doubted,
but to have the convenience and advantages
OF such an institution, and at the same time
have it pay its way from the commencement,
was what very few expected; especially In
view Of the Unprecedented high price Of
materials which enter into the construction Of
the road and expenses of running 1t. The
road has been in full operation only three or
four months, aud we understand that most Of
this dividend has been earned during that time.
Contrary to expectations the daily receipts
this winter are sufficient to pay the running ex-
penses, and If they can live through the win
ter without losing money, they must be able
to do a very handsome business next summer.
Great credit is due the officers for the success
full management of this institution. The an
nual meeting for choice Of officers takes place
this afternoon at O'Clock at the companys
rooms, opposite the Preble House. 20. 80.
In MEMoRIAM.-Rev. J. E. Walton, at the

words of the text and the lesson to be drawn
from it, he alluded in touching terms to the
loss sustained by the society and the city in
the recent death of Hon. John M. Wood, and
paid merited tribute to the worth Of the de-
ceased. He then addressed the mourners In
most expressive and touching manner. 1t
was like heart speaking to heart, when souls
are bowed down in grief, and drew tears from
the eyes OF the large concourse assembled to
pay their last tribute Of respect to the memory
of the deceased: 81 l5ssr 4
Some half dozen pews in front OF the pulpit
were reserved for, and occupied by the widow,
brother and sister of the deceased, and those
who had heretofore been connected with him
in his business, and some of his most intimate
personal friends. p = Z II -
