THE VALUATION COMMITTEE.
Especial Dispatch by International Line.l
AUGUSTA, March 1.-THE Valuation Com
mittee have been at work to-day upon the re-
port of the commissioners. The general dis.
position seemed to be not to distribute the
county aggregates and to Interfering with the
town and city lists as little as possible.
REVISION OF THE STATUTES.
The commissioners upbn the revision of the
statutes, consisting of Joseph Baker, Ephraim
Flint and e. W. Wedgwood, are engaged in
Incorporating the general laws of the present
session into the revision. The work of the
commissioners has passed during the ses-
sion under the supervision of the Committee
on Legal Reform, who report that the revision
is in a very perfect state. The Legislature
will doubtless adopt it without further altera-
ton, the statutes to go into effect upon the LIST
of February, 1871.

THE SCHEMA OF PAPAL AVAILABILITY.
LONDON, March 1.-THE Times gives the
following from the Roman frontier: -On Nom
Jay schema on iniallibihty was distributed
70 Inc members of the Council. 1t asserts that
.ne Caoinet possesses supreme and complete
primacy, and that the principality over the
unlver' al church was received with plenitude
OF power from the Lord himself by st. Peter,
OF whom the Pontiff is the successor. Ali
questions of faith must be determined under
mat power, else the words of the Lord to Peter
would be disregarded ed. This is proved by the
results in the Apostolic See The Catholic
and lmmaculata doctrine has always been fully
maintained; consequently we inculcate with
the consent OF the Council and define as
dogma of faith, that, thanks to Divine assist
ance, the Roman Poutiff, of whom it was said
in the person of Peter by Christ, II have
prayed for all, cannot err when acting as SUI
preme teacher Of all Christians. The schema
defines what the church must hold in faith
and morals; that the prerogative of Papal in
falbility extends over the same matters to
which the infalbility of the church is appl-
cable. If any should dare, which God forbid,
to controvert the present definition, let him
know that he departs from the true faith.
THE FRENCH REPRESENTATIVES TO BE RE.
cEIvED In THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.
ROME, March 1.-THE reply of the Pontifi-
cal Court to the last dispatch of Count Daru
has been forwarded to Paris. It contests in
emphatic terms the demand of the French
Government to be represented in the Ecumen-
zeal Council. The Apostolic nuncia to the
French Court is charged to give assurances
that the representatives of France will be re-
ceived with all the consideration due that
power.

New York stock and Money Market.

NEW YORK, March II - Morning. The Gold
market opened at a very early hour, and was the
of rene we'd excitement and great activity The
opening sale was at 112l, and Immediately there was
the price to 1871. This advance brought out large
amount of Gold, and the bears returned to the at
tack when down went the price to 1921 As soon as
the pressure to sell hadparially subsidized the mar
ket strengthened once more, and advanced to 1924 "a
112a. The Gold Room is filled with rumors about
bull combinations, which in connection with the de-
cline in bonds on the other side, had tendency at
ward course OF the market. The sentiment in tie
room is changing, and the public seem to be hesitate
ing about further sides tor al il price. After me-
rlQian the was thrown into spasms by kilograms
from Washington that the House Committee on for
eign affairs would to-day report resolution in favor
OF according bellgerent rights to the cuban insur-
geuts. This rushed the price up 70 1t33, and
Of excitement followed which battles ali description.
NEW YORK, March II - 4tfernoon.-Gold contin-

NEWS FROM SPANISH SOURCES

HAVANA, March 1.-THE rebel General Re-
loft had been driven from the jurisdiction of
Villa Clara and is now in the vicinity of Re-
medios. During his retreat he lost his corres-
pondence, which discloses the facts that the in
surgent Generals Hurtado del Vale, Salome
Hernandez and others are forming clubs of in
dependents hostile to all projects of annexation
to the United States. Del Vale, in one of his
letters, declares that annexation at the present
moment would be an act of cowardce. The
correspondence throwns no light on the ques-
ton who now holds chief command of the rebel
forces, but shows that Gen. Agromente has
resigned, while Gen Federico Cavada still
holds his position.

Lectures on Church History, at St. Paups'
Among our Sunday evening attractions
for hearers that are thinkers and seekers after
truth,-we must mention again the course of
lectures being delivered at st. Paul's church
Corner of Congress and Locust streets). We
are glad to know that these have been we'll at
tended. There is something more to be had
than merely the gratifying of curiosity, in the
study of church history. Such discourses, at
least, as that of Bishop Nicely, last Sun
day evening, upon "1he Faith once deliv-
cred to the Saints" contribute largely to the
settlement of doubtful and disputed questions,
in these doubling and disputing times. The
longer Bishop Nicely is known among us, the
more evident it becomes that he speaks from
wel-stored and well-trained mind, and in
tends, at least, to utter words of truth and So
berness; so that even they who differ from him
at any point are among those most interested
| in the clearness and earnestness of his argu-
ments. We are pleased to be informed that
the Bishop will soon lecture at St. Paups
again, and, probably, upon some of the CHI ar
acteristic periods of the English Reformation.
The assertions are sometimes made that If
Epscopalians are not ROmansts, they oughttO
be- that the path is straight one which leads
from old-fashioned Episcopacy to Highchurch-
ship, and so to Ritualsm, and so, logically, to
Romanism; that the Episcopal church is only
| the daughter OF the Ro man Catholic church,
and not only really belongs to the family, but
ought, in consistency, to go home and stay
there. Undoubtedly a good many honest
Christian people in Portland have just such
impressions as these in regard to the Episcopal
church. We willingly, therefore, accede to
the request to give notice that tomorrow eve
ning's lecture, at St. PauIs, and other subse-
quent Sunday evening lectures, will be at.
tempts toward the removal of such impress.
sions, with the citation of abundant historical
evidence for the proof that the English Church
is not the child of the Roman Church, legiti
mate or Legitimate, owes Rome no allegiance
Whatever, but protests against papal claims to-
day, just as she did more than twelve hun
dred years ago. If any of our readers desire
to be present at the ventilation of such topicl
as these, we can assure them they will not re-
greet going to st. Paul's, on Sunday evenings
at half.past seven.

ascandaous story about the daughter of Judge
Stevens, to whom MIR. Wilder was engaged to

Hutchinson. The latter believed Wilder to be
the cause of his punishment and threatened to
shoot him on sight.

four years has accumulated surplus fund of
