That's what's the matter with a number Of
our brave tars this evening as MANY of them &c
cropping about for lodgings in this beautiful
seaside retreat with the perpetual fog hanging
around and over them after they had promised
themselves such delightful weather when they
lett Portland. Still the poet has said, sits a
poor heart that never rejoiceth,'' and the re.
loicing, as general thing, has been pretty reg
ular. As you are we'll aware we left Portland
at 10. on Monday with light wind, with the
intention of proceeding to Boothbay that day
but doubtful things are mighty onsartin, .

the lights are cleaning through the fog and

"MoNsIEUR ToNsoN COME AGA1Nr'-We
notice in the proceedings of the City Council
on Monday evening that a petition has again
been presented for disseminating old Franklin
street from Middle to Fore streets. When
Franklin street was newly laid out, some years
since, from Middle to Fore streets, the land
taken for that purpose was paid for, and, as
we understand, to the present petitioner, who
now wishes the old street to be discontinued
in order that he may obtain a large lot of land
for nothing. Every year since the new running
was made this matter has been brought before
the City Council, which has invariably refused
to thus give away the land. Nothing daunted
the petitioner renews his application year after
year, like Amy Darden, who petitioned Con-
gress for nearly a quarter of century for pay
ment of horse killed during the revolutionary
war, but not with so much justice, and he
seems determined to have the land, if possible.
We trust the City Council will make short
work of the matter by giving the petitioner
leave to withdraw

GOOD DEcIs1oN.-Judge Morris in the NUM-
cipal Court delivered decision yesterday morn
ing which we feel confident will be appreciated
by the public. 1t was in the case of the assault
and battery on Capt Harris, last Saturday, by
two young men, on board the sail boat used by
the Ferry Company in the place of the Fl. H
Day. The Judge decided that the assault was
an aggravated one, inasmuch as by it the pas
sen gers upon public conveyance had their
lives placed in jeopardy. That to all persons
the law should be a protection, but especially
to all who have occasion to cross any waters
upon conveyances run by incorporated compa-
MES Here are fifty or sixty people, including
women and children, whose lives would be en-
dangered by acts interfering with the manage
ment OF vessel, so that the assault was not so
much against the captain as against every pas
senger on board.
