Portland Tides.

Mr.. EDIroR:-You viii notice by the "Old
Farmers Almanac" that it says full sea such an
hour and minute in Boston, but doen'st desig-
nate any particular place. In your paper no.
tice only few minutes (say three nlinutes)
difference in time. Now i think this calcula.
ton is wrong, and as there has been considera-
BILE controversy on this point. we would like
to hear the opinion of some of our old pilots
about the difference in time between Boston
and Portland, at particular point, OF high
tide. aH e NAUTICAL.
We are unable to see how any pilot, howev-
er skillfnl, could answer the question proposed
by Nautical" unless he could be in two places
at once and note the time of high water stimuli
taneously, both in Boston and Portland. On
referring however to the last Coast Survey re-
port, we find that the average time after the
moons southing to the next full sea is II
hours and 81 minutes in Boston, and II hours
and rs minutes in Portland. These results,
as we understand, are obtained from very care
full observations, which have been continued
ia Boston for number of years. The report
state that the observations have been made
in Boston harbor, near the entrance to the
dry dock in the Charlestown navy yard. The
observations in Portland harbor were made
some years ago, we understand, on Atlantic
wharf, AS the time of the moons southing
Oh any given day in Portland and Boston,
woula not sensibly differ, it will be seen that
'ne VI 'ahu tides will on an Average be about
TWO inihu'es earlier than the Boston tides.

Information Wanted.

1t is difficult to discover, whether the Arg Is
is chiefly exercised by the report of the Com
mittee of Fifteen, or by the New York Tri-
bune's comments upon that report. In an arti-
Gle purporting to be review of the report
our neghbor cuts right and left from the re-
port and the Tribune, with great impartiality
meng other extracts from the Tribune, here
one: a,',.rT t4....
The report assumes as beyond dispute that
withdrawn from the Union and made them
selves subjects of another government. 7o
Well, does the Argus intend to deny that
"the people of the rebel States" had erected,
a de facto government other than that of the
United States? That cannot be denied; no
body can deny ii. Yet the argus styles this
admission of historical fact, "conceding OF
, the right of Secession" We would be glad to
see the steps by which the argus passes from
premise which nobody will dispute to such
an astonishing conclusion.
Here is another passage cited by the Aryus
from the report, this one:
The question before Congress is then wheth-
er conquered enemies have the right and shall
: be permitted, at their Oaun- pleasure, and upon
their oun terms, to participate in making laws
for the conquerors.
10 this the argus replies, "Neither the
President nor any supporter of his policy ever
advocated or even proposed such rse."-
III the Committee is wrong, will the argus
be so obliging as to inform us, at achose pleas
ure and upon whose terms Mr.. johnson and
his hackers propose to restore their law-mak-
ing privileges to the conquered rebels? ~

MARTINS Point Bridge.

| To the Editor or the Press: l.o4
Those of the readers of the daily Press who
are in the habit of carefully perusng the re-
ports of the legislative proceedings and other
matters, have noticed that an act was passed
by the last Legislature comforting upon our
County Commissioners the power to construct
a bridge from Martins Point to Makey's
Point, In the town Of Falmouth, in this
county.
The bridge which formerly stood here, that
is on the shore road from Portland past
the q. S. Hospital to Martins Point and Fall
mouth, and which was carried away during a
heavy storm some few years ago, was known
as toll bridge, belonging to private individu-
ais. Recently very strong effort has been
made by the residents on Martins Point and
the t0wnspeople of Falmouth generally, and
with success, to secure the authority for the
County Commissioners to rebuild the bridge,
as public and free bridge, petition of some
hundreds of slgners having been sent down
to the Legislature last winter for that purpose,
and no remonstrance was got up against it.
No doubt it would be good project, and in
some respects at least favorable measure to
our city's interests to have the bridge rebuilt,
and we believe that there is only one objection
to it on our part, and that is perhaps not an
insuperable one.
We have no object in this communica-
ton, save to present the case fairly in all its
bearings, especially as notice has been order
ed by the Court of County Commissioners for
hearing and examination of the site for the
proposed bridge on the 18th of July next. 1t
is known that the proportion or the County
tax falling to our city to pay, is .fue-ninths of
the whole amount! Therefore if the cost of
the proposed bridge should be $44 ,OOG, and we
have heard the estimate placed even higher
than that, the proportion for Portland to pay
would be $4,000; perhaps it would amour
to $4,000. The question then arises, are we
in such a state financially speaking, either as
city or county, as to enable us to go into such
an increased expenditure for this purpose at
this time? u
: That this bridge would beof some advan-
tage to the comparatively small number of
uWcliCTS Ou IhdItiu VI u1dCkty OllltS dIlu 10
Portland we have no doubt; but is that
enough to warrant this expenditure, at this
time, when we are so over-burdened by heavy
taxes consequent upon the great rebellion?
Are Sebago, Baldwin, Harrison, Standish,
Scarboro, Gorham, Windham, Gray, New
Gloucester and other exterior towns willing to
pay their proportion of this additional tax, for
the purpose of building this bridge? If so,
then we suppose that Portland would be. Now
let our city authorities take some immediate
action relative to this matter, in order to be
represented at the hearing alluded to-that is
if they think that the bridge ought not to be
built at this time; but if we are willing to pay
our proportion of this increased expenditure,
at this time of heavy taxation, then let us not
appear and run the risk of the bridge being
built.

Yesterday, the Conference was not only
settled, but ahopeful ifnot assuring fact. En-
gland in an agony ofterror, and such money
panic as she has not often experienced. en-
plored the Emperor of the French to Join with
her in an effort for peace. His reply to Lord
Cowley is said to have been:
Sin the years of 1859 and 1864 England OPP
posed my proposals in reference to the settle
ment of the Venetian and Schleswig Hoistein
questions. Now England wants peace. L al
so desire peace, but as the most favorable op-
portunities have been FILTERED away, ana as
the conflicting interests have been permitted
to reach a point at which they must clash,
can no longer assume the responsibility OF
events"
THIS was probably in substance the answer
of a man who in just four days can give the
word en- arant! to six hundred thousand SOL
diers, who are not only ready to march, but
are marching daily forSpractice. One hundred
thousand of them are at the Camp OF Chalons
day by day for practice j
wish some one would explain to me why
while the Bank of England is charging 10 per
cent. for money, the Bank of France has not
advanced her rate above per cent, and who
/ while gold has flowed out OF the former e462, :
600 last week, it has increased in the latter to
the extent of e8S0,00O. Is it the G00OO0 sol
dlers? Or is it guns? The English have
tried thirty.tiye rifed guns, and every one
has failed. They have not single gun that can
be trusted. This is nice state of things in
the face Of a great European war, which many
| people persist in believing inevitable. Only
England would not fight if she had all the guns
in the universe. Think of victor Hugo invest
ing all his money in an English bank and
losino it, when it would have been quite sale
in French one!
The Conference is accepted, however, and
