10 WHOM IT MAY CoNcERN.-The last number Of
the Bangor Jeffersonian contains very severe, and
as think, very unjust and ungenerous article in
relation to Mr. c. w. Atwell, Advertising Agent, of
this city. When Mr.. Atwen proposed to enter upon
the business in which he is engaged he request
ed ME to allow him to my name with others, as
reference, which request cheerfully complied with,
believing he had other intention than that of max
Ing an honest living by an honorable business. can
see no reason why the fact that Mr.. Atwel was un-
fortunate in business several years ago, and was
obliged to settle with his creditors at per centage
should be used against him to embarass him in his e
forts to carry on business now. In allowing him to
use my name, did so with the belief that he would
deal fairly and honorably with those who transacted
business with him, and trust his course will be such
as to sustain my belief Iregret exceedingly the ap-
pearance Of the article in the Jeffersonan, as it is
calculated to njure Mr.. Atwell without beneiitting
in the least, the publisher of that paper.

EXTRAORDINARY DIPLOMATIC CoRREs-
PoNDENCE.-During the consideration of the
Consular and Diplomatic Appropriation bill
in the Senate Wednesday, senator Grimes al
luded to letter from Mr. Harvey, our Minis
ter at the Portuguese court, to the Secretary
OF State, and published in New York jour
nal, in which the writer denounced Congress
and advised the President to eject them from
the Capitol. Mr.. Fessenden remarked that he
had seen notice of this letter in another pa
per, and if it was written by Mr.. Harvey as
alleged, ii proved him to be one of the mean
est lick-spittles we had representing the nation
abroad. He, Mr.. Fessenden, would say moth
ing of the opinion of the Secretary of State
in regard to the sentiments contaided in the
letter, but when the Minister wrote to the
Secretary, he doubtless knew to whom he was
writing. Mr.. johnson observed that if the
Secretary consented to the publication of the
letter, he offended against good taste as much
as the writer himself.

ATTACK UPON THE KING OF PRUssIA.-A
late number of the Paris PGtTie mentions an
undeveloped attempt at assassination on the
person of the King of Prussia by man nam
ed Slaw, who, from the midst of the crowd as
sembled to witness the parade OF the troops
before His Majesty, hurled his cane. loaded
with lead, toward the window where the King
was seated. Fortunately the cane, not having
been thrown with sufficient impetus, fell short
of the mark. The man was, however, arrest
ed on the instant. He proves TO be doctor
of philosophy, and supposed to be insane.

THE EXPRESS TRAIN BETWEEN THIS CITY AND
BosToN-In alusion to the Express trains that have
recently been placed on the route between Boston
and this city, the Boston Post remarks: IT would
be judcious move now and one calculated to great
ly facilitate and convenience travel If the Grand
Trunk would make aconnection at Portland, to and
from Montreal with these express trains to and from
Boston. The Superintendents of the Eastern and
Boston and Maine Railroads exhibit an enterprise and
desire to accommodate the public, which most as
suredy will be appreciated. The want of the trains
they have now established has been no soouer ndi-
Gated than it has been supplied Such dese on the
part OF railroad managers to fully answer the public
demand evinces good Judgment and hberality, and
win be most heartily encouraged"
We presume an Express train will be run, as here
tofore, in the summer between this city and Montre-
al; but whether the managers of the Grand Trunk
Road will think itexpedient to start at midnight in
stead OF A. M as the trains have heretofore run is
a matter for them to consider. An Express train
with sleeping car attached, would, no doubt do a
good business, and be convenience to travellers.

strolls too long the other day the train
was leaving just as she limped into the

A smart run enabled the foolish girl to
throw herself upon the rear platform,
but just as she did so, away hat, wig
and goggles. Two gentlemen on the
rear platform were considerably aston
ished, but the young lady had sufficient
presence of mind to explain in few
frightened sentences the position of af
fairs, and it being uishtfall, the gentle
men, who proved 70 be the genuine ar
ticle, got the girl to her home without
further publicity. The young lady sus
tains an exec llent character, and it il
hardly necessary to add that the ludic
rous upshot Of her adven lures, as one o
the " Oldest inhabitants" has terminated
her tun-loying proclivities in that line.
