VIM. H. CLIFFORD, ESQ, COMMISSIONERS.
Timothy Carey of this city, who was before
the Commissioner last week on complaint
charging him with pursuing the business of q
retail liquor dealer, without taking out U. S.
Revenue license, was again before the Com
missioner yesterday. On taking out grocer's
licence and a liquor dealers license, he was
discharged.
Patrick Doyle of this city was brought be-
fore the Commissioner for carrying on the
retail liquor business without a U. S. Revenue
license. He was ordered to recognize in the
sum of $50 for his appearance at the U. S.
District Court this afternoon. He furnished
the sureties and was discharged.
John Bray of Deer Isle was brought before
the Commissioner charged with larceny on the
high seas of a fishing boat and other articles,
the property of Cephas Gardiner. G. F. Tai
bot, U. S. District Attorney, appeared for Gov
eminent, and Messrs. Evans and Putnam for
the accused The evidence in the case did
not sustain the complaint, and Bray was dis
charged.
Charles N. Raymond, who failed to appear
on Saturday, through third party settled the
case, and paid the license, penalty and costs,
and was discharged.

The Independent Lectures.

The attention of our readers is called to the
advertisement of lecturers engaged for the
@Independent Course" 1t will be observed
that the names of Maj. Gen. Chamberlain, of
this State, and Mrs. Frances Ellen Harper, of
Maryland, who so acceptably delivered the
lecture on Friday evening last, have been add
ed to the list.
We are informed by the Committee that, at
the earnest solicitation of many patrons of this
course of lectures, who listened to Mrs. Harp
er's recent lecture, an engagement has been
made with her for a second lecture, to be de-
livered on Friday evening, January 26, 1866
Subject to be announced hereafter.
Gen. Chamberlain will deliver his lecture,
on the "Maine both Regiment at Gettysburg"
on Friday evening, Dec. 18th.
1t will be seen that by this arrangement the
Independent Course" consists of NINE LEG
TUREs in addition to those already delivered,
making the whole course twelve in number,
the balance (which are offered to the public
for the low price of zone dollar" embracing
an array of talent rarely brought together in
one course of lectures. Nor should it be for
gotten that the entire proceeds Of the indie
pendent Lectures this year, after defraying ex
penses, go into the Treasury of the portland
Freedmen's Aid Association"
The lecture for this Tuesday evening will
be delivered by Maj. Gen. fitzpatrick, whose
name is enough, we venture to predict, to
bring every seat into requisition.
At the close Of the lecture, we are author
lied to say, the citizens present at the lecture,
will have an opportunity to be introduced to
the distinguished and gallant officer upon the
platform, 4rHtV

Such the dispatches of an officer in command Of

attention to the following extract from letter of the
special correspondent OF the Jamaica Standard -
The supposed rebels that captured and brought

the whole ofthem before court martial. About
thirty were, one by one, lashed to gun and GATED,
receiving fifty Iashes the bare back laid on after
the man-ofwar fashion, and the rest (about twenty
committed as rebels. Among the rebels was George
Marshal, a brown man Of about twenty-five years

teeth and gave terocious look OF defiance at the
provost marshal. He was Immediately ordered to be

Can it be Englishmen who do these things in a
British Colony, where British laws exist and a
British governor represents the queen? Is it British
officers who thus, pursuing men who never fire a
shot in self-defence, but fling down their arms and
pray for protection the prayer by the cat and
the halter? Is it actually in this nineteenth centu-
~ that we read in the English language OF men hung
and shot BY the dozen on evidence of a wretched
chih who Is bound to his captors saddle and with
revolver at his head, "to understand" his captors
wishes? And is it among civilized that we hear
of q miserable "brown man." against whom nothing
could be proved warrant ng his even being tried vet
dashed to gun and fogged and them because at The
forty-seventh lash he ground his teeth and gave a
eroo;ous look INSTANTLY ordered tn he taken from, fa

Prof. Cummings Lecture.

The hall last evening was filed to its utmost
capacity, and the lecture exceeded in interest
any which had gone before it. We have room
only Tor brief synopsis The speaker said
that when Napoleon was scaling the Alps for
empire, an humble Frenchman, whose name
the world had not learned to pronounce, was
scaling the same Alps for science. Napoleon
added no domain to the eagles of France.
That humble Frenchman added a new prov
ince to the domain of human knowledge. The
speaker showed how he had decyphered VOL
ume of the earth's history from the structure
of these mountains. Their birth had destroy
ed the dynasty of great reptiles. Nature al
ways achieves higher ends by revolution.
Mammals followed these reptiles. The chief
cemetery of these pre-Adamites is found in
northern Nebraska. 1t is little world in
ruins,-a vast sunken land full of bones and
teeth and skulls. They are petrifaction of
lions and tigers, the hippopotamos, camel, and
other types no longer represented in nature.
America in that old time had some fourteen
species Of elephants. And she had huge
beast allied to the sloth. A copy of its skele-
ton may be seen in the Boston Natural History
rooms. The Professor said we had a noble
institution in Portland; but it awaits from
Portlanders the benefactions which had en-
dowed the Boston Society. For the present
we must see the remains of these great beasts
in Boston. He described the primeval sloth,
and gave the audience a restoration of it.
These great beasts were pre-Adamite, but
the world was ready for man. The Professor
maintained that Asia was the cradle of the
race. He gave the facts which bear upon the
antiquity of man, and thought the conclusions
of Lyell were premature. The question is
still an open one A more important question,
he said, was hoac man originated. He dis
cussed the views of Darwin and his school,
and excited the audience to frequent applause
and laughter by detailing the Darwinian pro-
cess of building man from monkey.
Maintaining that man is an emanation from
the Infinite, direct creation, he spoke, in con-
clusion, of his dignity and high destiny.
The peroration was powerful, and its close
was greeted by enthusiastic applause. We
could not say anything more emphatic in
commentator of these lectures than to note
the fact that the Natural History Society adj
journ their sessions to attend them.

KNIaHTED.-We are pleased to learn that
our townsman, Josiah Pierce, Jr., ESQ.,, now
in business at St. Petersburg, has recently
been invested with Knighthood by the EN-
peror of Russia. The order is that of st.
Anne, one of the three highest orders in Rus
STA. It is very gratifying to notice the friend
ly disposition of the Emperor towards our
country and its citizens, and we are especially
pleased in this instance, at his appreciation of
the abilities and accomplishments of one from
our own midst. We are sure that the numer-
GUS friends of Mr. Pierce, in this city, and vi

upon his new honors.
