Gov. Chamberlain has invited Capt CONNER
ell of Her Majestys war-ship Monarch" to
visit this city on Friday of this week, and the
invitation has been accepted. 1t is expected
that the officers of the United States vessels
now in Portland harbor will accompany Cap
tain Commerell. A private dinner will be
given them at the Augusta House, and in the
evening complimentary source will be ten
dered them at Granite Hall, to which the State
officials and our citizens generally wal be in
vited. All the officers of the feet are ex-
pected to be present with the exception of Ad-
miral Farragut who has left Portland. We
it stated that Capt. Commerell, during the Cri-
mean war, served with the British fleet off Veni-
kale, where the Russians had an important depot
of ammunition. arms and commssary stores.
One dark, windy night he rowed ashore with
no companion but his coxswain crept up to
the storehouses and set fire to them on the
windward side. The whole depot was con-
sumed, but before the two Englishmen could
get away the coxswain was badly wounded
Capt. Commerell took him on his back,
reached the boat, and pulled off in safety to
the ship. That is how he got his ''Victoria
Cross" and he was one of the first upon
whom that reward of bravery was ever con-
ferred.
