The Handel aud HAYDN socie,v.

On Monday and Tuesday evening, the 18th
and 14th insts., our musical society, the Handel
and Haydn Association, will again appear be-
fore their fellow citizens this time in the Ora
torio's of St. Paul and Stabat Mater conduct.
ed by Professor Kotzschmar and accompanied
by the Germania Band of Boston. The vocal
portion of the entertainment will be wholly
made up Of home talent, with the exception of
the weli-known contralto, Mrs. Charles A.
Barry of Boston, and in order to give varie-
ty the st. Paul will be omitted ON the second
evening and a miscellaneous concert given in
its stead, together with the Stabat Mater.
The success of the society in the "Creation'
IL matter of history in the annals of music in
this city. We remember the croakings that
were given utterance to by the many who be-
lieved that nothing good could come out of
Nazareth" previous to the performance. How
those who were the most hopeful yet dreaded
lest the result would prove failure. How
they gazed upon that splendid chorus rising
tier above tier on the evening of the perform
ance, and with fear and trembling watched
every motion of Kotzschmar as he took his
place at the conductors stand. What rejoic-
ing when the last notes of the final chorus had
died away and the fact remained that We had
musical association of which any city might
well be proud Hs
Since that time the society have not been
idle. They have been drilling and studying
most faithfully on these two beautiful compo-
sitions, and we feel confident that on this oeca-
sion as on the other, this result will be another
feather in their cap. We shall write more fully
on this subject before the performances are
given. and will now only remind our readers
that the tickets are all ready to-day at Paine's
and Twombly's music stores where the reserv-
ed seats can be secured.

ACCIDENT ON THE G.. T. r. R.-The steamer
special train with passengers and mails for the
HISTORIAN" due here at 8 P. M. on Saturday,
did not arrive till 10 P. M, owing to an acct
dent at Sherbrooke. As the train was about
entering the station at TINT place, by some err
ror in the signals, owing to the dense Snow
storm, it collided with freight train. The
steamer train, consisting of two baggage, a
mail and two sleeping ears, were pretty well
knocked about and broken, one Of the trucks
of baggage car being suspended fiom the top
Of the snow pillow. The only car uninjured was
the last ar,which was the Directors car The
locomotive had her chimney knocked OFT. No
person luckily was hurt. The train was de-
layed at Sherbrooke, consequently, from 8 A.
M. toSP P. M. Saturday, before "a train was
made up to take the place of the other.

ST. PAUL's CHURCH ENTERTAINMENT.-We
would advise all our readers to be sure and at
tend the entertainment at Congress Hall to-
morrow night. Mr.. Murray's ability as reader
is too we'll known here now to need any words
of praise from us. AS delineator of Dickens
characters he stands next to the great original
himself, and we cannot praise too highly the
generosity he has shown in tgratuitously offer
ing his services for so many worthy Objects
The glees, madrigals, and quartettes as sung
by the leading singers of this city are in them
selves novel and most taking feature of the
entertainment, and the tickets are placed at 8
price within the reach of all. We shall bt
surprised if he hall is not filled to its utmost
capacity.

WRECK AT PORTLAND LIGHT.-The schooner
"Gipsey Queen" of Boothbay, while trying to
make her way through the storm of Saturday
night, run ashore on reef of rocks near Port
land light and was totally destroyed. The
crew consisted of four boys and an old gentle
man who barely escaped with their lives. The
loss is estimated from two to three thousand
dollars. She was heavily laden with fish,
The old gentleman was found some time after
the wreck with life almost extinct. D.

COMMERCIALLY give our readers some
idea of the increase of the salt business at this
port, We would inform them that the number
of Withdrawals of salt in bond at Portland for
the past year ending Dec. 4, 1869, were 7OS.
For the same period last year there were $40
against 27O in 1867. 1t will thus be seen that
Portland does about the largest business in
this article in New England. Gloucester may
almost equal it, but none other. There are
about I, OOO, 900 pounds of salt in bond here at
the present time.
The amount of molasses and sugar in bond
in this city up to Dec. 1, 1869 was:

SAILING OF THE NEsToRIAN.-The Nestori-
an, Capt. Arid, sailed from this port for Liver
pool on Saturday evening at IL o'clock, with
full cargo and AZ cabin and q Storage passen-
gers. Among her passengers were Sir A. T.
Calf of Canada, and Mr.. Alexander Allan,
junior partner of the firm Of H. & A. Allen
the proprietors of the line. 1t is quite unusual
for the first steamer from this port to take out
a full cargo, but we understand the HISTORIAN
took all she could carry.
The HISTORIAN will be succeeded by the North
American, Capt. Richardson, on Saturday
next. The steamer due this week is the Nova
ScOtian.

NJ L. A. DEBATEs.-The debate upon the
Portland & Ogdensburg Railroad took place
Saturday evening, and was opened in the af-
firmative by Hon. Geo. w. Woodman, who
was followed by Thomas Lynch, Esq, in the
negative and Chas. E. Jose, Esq, in the af-
firmative. The debate was ably conducted on
both sides, and SO much interest was manifest
ed that it was voted to lay the motion on the
table until next Saturday evening. We are
pleased to notice that the debates of this Asso-
cIation are increasing in interest every week.

less when allied to this one political vice A
ruler shoald be versatile, accommodating,
charitable, conciliatory, yet stern as Brutus,
vehement as Paul for honor and right. 1t is
the temporizing policy that ruins; the lower
ing the law to the people rather than raising
the people to the law.
In conclusion, how sad it is to see public
officer possessing no fixed religious belief
There must necessarily be occasions when
even the most sagacious counsel must be in
doubt in performing his duty. Then, unless
he has a God to help him, belief in future
life, he gropes his way in darkness He may
mean well, but he fares ILL., He is at the mercy
of the ruled. Pity the land with such ruler
as this. Pity the man who appeals not to GOO.
Around him and over him the world casts lis
spell. This king and that priest harass win
their prepositions; this mob and that clique
threaten and torment. Where is such ruler
without hope in God-bewidered, defeated,
lost. From the experience of this goddess man
we learn that strong faith in God is proof of
a vigorous understanding, the only solid basis
of a great or even of successful life-that the
want of it is the natural consequence of mar
row thoughts; that it begins in mistake and
ends in disgrace.
