New COMMISSION SToRE.-It viii be noticed
BY reference to our advertising columns, that
new firm has been formed in this city for the
purpose Of transacting a general commission
business. We refer to the card of Messrs Up
ham & Adams, who have established them
selves in the premises lately occupied by
Messrs Upham & Son, where theE intend to
transact the commission business In general
making the -four, grain and provision business
a speciality. .r.a
Mr.. Upham has been engaged in the busi-
ness, in Bangor and this city, for more than
thirty years, and his experience is worth as
much as that Of any person engaged in this
pursuit. He was upon the point a largely ex-
tending his business, and had erected large
warehouse and mill for the sale of grain and
the manufacture of flour, ON York Street.
when the great fire of Jaay 4th swept it all
away, destroying in the warehouse very large
quantity Of grain that he had just purchased.
But as he is q man that does not easily give
up to vicissitudes, he has made Arrangements
for the resumption OF business ON q large scale,
and, with this purpose, has Joined with Mr..
Charles III. Adams, the late landlord of the
Preble House, who ia o man of means. and
whom everybody knows and respects. The
new firm possesses all advantages that can be
required for such business, capital, energy
and experience, and it will commend itself Ia
the public favor:

An Unparalleled Outrage.

A gentleman Just FROM, Fauguie
county gives US some additional p~articu
lars in relation 10 the firing of Mrs Ma
ior Dixons house, which occurred sew
eTGl days ago IL will be remembers,
that the husband Of this lady. who wa.
a psymaster during the war in the Fed
eral army was shot and killed in thi
city not long since by Dr. Maddux, O
Fauquier county, but more recently
Of Richmond
After the death Of Major Dixon, who
was n of the stsunchest Union mel
in the country, the ex-rebels deter
mined to drive his unprotected widow
from the county Of FauQuier, and they
proceeded in real guerrilla style tc
burn her house over her head. at the
dead hour Of night with the hope no
doubt Of burning her and her unpro.
tected children with it
A kind Providence, however. averted
the doom intended for them by these
hesrtless snd cold-blooded scoundrels
and the fire kindled against the door
failed TO ignite the house This attemp,
wa sufficient however, to drive Mrs
Dixon from her home, and she Is sgsin

The correspondence between Mr..
Adams and Earl Clarendon, the mate
rial parts of which we print elsewhere,
leaves the subjects in dispute nearly
where they were before. Mr.. Adams,
indeed, succeeds in showing very clear.
~ that the conduct of the English au-
thorities in granting hospitality TO the
crew of the Alabama greatly facilitated
the outfit OF the Shenandoah; he shows
that Liverpool was, with the knowledge
of the British government, the chief
naval depot Of JEFF Davis; he shows
that the government was repeatedly
and constantly informed of the move
ments, preparations and intentions of
the rebel agent in Liverpool, Bullock.
To this Earl C~larendon's reply Is:
True, you told US all this, but Bullock
and the other rebel agents kept within
the letter of our laws, and we could not
go behindlJhat Moreover, we had 10
official knowledge that Bullock was
what you represented him to DE. Why,
then, retOrts Mr.. Adams, did you apply
to Bullock to put a stop to the course
of the Shenandoah?
That question Earl Clarendon does
not answer. Rut the American gov,
eminent may well demand why, If the
British authorities could command
Bullock's intervention to stop the She
nando1h in 1865, they could not and
did not use him in 1861 Ii is. plain
that the Shenandoah cruised against
American commerce only so long as
the British government chose to let
her; and thstGhe ceased her warfare at
the first intimation from the British
government to the rebel agent resident
at Liverpool that it was time to stop
and not until then. But having this
control over the vessel why did not the
British authorities exercise il before ?
And as it did not choose to, is il not
responsible for the Shenandoah's acts ?
In 1853, during the Crimean war, we
gave serious offence to England by the
%stringency Of our neutrality laws. Mr..
Roebuck, British Consul at Cincinnati,
was put o good deal Of trouble on
account Of attempts st violating our
neutrality. Because we were then in
conveniently strict the English seem
to have gone 10 the opposite extreme.
They have done so ut their own risk.
We shall not 60 20 war for the Alabama
or Shenandoah claims; our position is
good enough ss il is The British gov
eminent justifes lis conduct during
the late var Of course il is willing 10
take what 1t giyes-N. !. last
