INpIscREET ADMIRATION.


New YORK, Dec. 6.-Another admrer and
would-be lover of Mile. Nilsson has just turned
up in the person of Charles Bush German
musician of mature age, who has followed her
persistently everywhere, even to her private
room, which he has three times entered. On
the streets, on the cars, everywhere, he has al
ways been close by. Mile. Nilsson, yesterday
afternoon, applied to Justice Scott, of Essex
street Court for protection from further an
noyance. The Justice held Bush in $500 for
his good behavior for six months. He had the
mpudence to kiss Miss Nilsson in the open
street, which act was the immediate cause or
her application for protection.

You are reported in the morning papers as

SMALL PoX AGAIN.-Yesterday morning a
sailor, who said he was from Rockland, went to
the Custom House, with the necessary papers
from the customs officers at Rockland, for OBJ
tanning a.permit to enter the Marine Hospital.
He did not state the nature of his disease, but
it was evident from his appearance that he was
quite sick. The permit was given him, but the
man protested that he was to i'll too walk so far,
and accordingly carriage was provided for
him. About an hour afterwards he came back
and reported that he had been denied admis-
sion to the Hospital, the physician pronouncing
his disase the small pox He was sent by the
Deputy Collector in charge of an officer to the
police station, from whence he was sent by the
city authorities to the pest house. The man
gave his name as Mckay, a resident of Port
land. He said he belonged to a vessel which
arrived at Rockland from Philadelphia. He
was soon afterwards taken ill, and was advised
by his physician that his was an incipent case
of ssnall pox, and that he ought to come home
to Portland. Accordingly he came by rail, rid
ing in a car well filled with passengers.
The physician at the Marine Hospital was
very careless in his treatment of the case. It,was
his duty to retain the man in some safe place
until notice could be given to the city authori-
ties, and have him removed carefully by them;
if indeed, it is the duty of the city of Portland
to take man i'll of malignant disease, and
entitled to the care of the general government,
from the Marine Hospital in another town and
assume the care of him.
In regafd to Rev. Dr. Lett, who was sent tc
the pest-hoqse Tuesday night, we learn that his
is very mild case, and the gentleman is quite
comfortable.

Remarks-The market for domestics Is steady and
firm, and full prices continue to be obtained In the
New York market very little of interest has transpr-
ed since our last The general features of the market
however are without noticeable change. For domes-
tic fleece there is fair demand, but manufacturers
do not purchase freely owing to the high rates of
rulng and the unsatisfactory state of the wooden
goods market; while holders very firm and refuse
to operate except at full rates. The market for for
eign has been less active since the large transactions
recently noted, but there is still good demand and
prices for fine grades have upward tendency In
the Philadelphia market there has been decidedly
more inquiry for fleece, but manufacturers both To-
cal and Eastern, generally purchase very little in ex-
cess OF their wants as prices ruling above their
views. The stock is, however, very low and holders
nrm In their tone some of them evncing an indspo-
sitlon to operate at present rates. The advance in
prices at the London auction sales has aroused a
speculative movement in carpet woos and the sales
OF this description have been large very full figures
Prices OF manufactured goods a general thing are
relatively below that of the raw article

EXTENSION OF BACK COVE CHANNEL.-The
Portland Stone Ware Company (Messrz j. N.
& j. 7. Winslow and others) have proposed to
the town of Deering to deepen the Back Bay
channel to their works, so as to enable vessel Is
drawing ten feet of water to come up the entire
distance to theirwharves, and also to deepen the
front of a considerable portion of shore contig-
uous to their factory opening the locality up to
new manufacturing enterprises and increasing
thereby the taxable property of Deering, the
excavation material to be used in filling up the
flats owned by the Winslows and others, and
thus render them more valuable for future i'm
provement. The distance to be deepened is
about $500 feet, and the cost will be about
$1,000. Messrs. Winslow offer to undertake the
enterprise if the town will give $4,000 toward il
in three of their twenty year bonds.
