THEATRE.-The visit of Mr. and Mrs. Flor
ence to Portland has been remarkable sue
cess; all things being taken into account. The
audience which greeted them on Saturday even
ing was very large and fashionable, and the
favorite Irish drama received almost continued
plaudits from the rising of the curtain to the
close of the fourth act; the immitable humor
of Florence in his Interpretation of the witty
side of Irish character drawing out shouts of
laughter His charming wife also made many
friends by her capital acting. Mr.. Paul as John
Thomas, the Cockney lover, Sutton as the mid
dleman, and Tim the penman, are worthy of
praise. Miss George Langley we remember as
a tyro to stage business few years ago and
noted with pleasure a measure of improvement.
Although she sustained the title role, it is but
a secondary character, giving opportunity. how
ever, for some fine acting, and the lady acquit-
ted herself in it very we'll The situations at
the close of the three first acts formed very fine
tableaux. 1t is seldom that apiece is better
mounted than this was. and our citizens are in

SHIPMENTS DIRECT ERoM CRIsFIELD, ON THE
CHESAPEAKE.
We stated, last week, that the English steam
or Sdlsette was loading oysters at CrisAeld, Ger
minus OF the Delaware Railroad, on the Chest
peake,) for the English market.
The Salsette is ship Of about 1000 tons, and
has been sent out by the Fishmonger's Com
pAny OF London, to procure oysters for replen-
ishing the exhausted oyster beds Of England.
Last year the Company sent over Mr.. Weather-
ly as It's agent, who came 10 Crsheld and spent
a week there. This gentleman returned to Eng
land carrying with him several barrels Of oysters
in the she'll They we're inspected favorably by
the Fishmonger's Company and were afterwards
seyved up in :" every style" at dinner given
for the purpose OF testing their quality. At
this dinner Mr.. Frank Buckland was present.
He aud the other guests were very much pleased
with the American bivalves-and 30 expressed
themselves, although not without qualifca-
tion characteristicAlly British.
The Company then resolved to send out q
steamer and ascertain whether the oysters could
be imported into England in large quantities,
and the Salsete, is now hero for that pur-
pose.
This steamer is TO take on board Is, 900 bushels
and will clear from Crisheld direct TO London.
Should the venture prove profitable one, it is
likely that large trade will be carried on and
the oyster trade at Crisfeld largely increased.

HOW CALIFORNIA sHEEP-GRowER FLEEcED
DELAWARE ooUNTIANs.
Two weeks ago, last Sunday, an individual who
represented himself to be California sheep
grower appeared at Newtown Square, aud began
to look around for sheep to take West with him
so as to improve his flock He was gay Lotha-
rio-plenty OF money, although ii doesn't appear
that he used much of it, and mien and address
which at opce ingratiated himself into the conf
dence and kindnt ss of those with whom he was
stopping. He soon bought up all the male sheep
in the neighborhood Of Newtown Square, and as
his demands were not yet satisfied - mine host
Davis, of the inn, sent word to a friend in Lam
caster county TO make extensive purchases there.
Upon one occasion the stranger sent up to Phil
adelphia by the stage driver for $500, and was
much dissatisfied aud disgusted at his inability
to find the place where the money was obtaina-
BILE. The stranger was, therefore, compelled TO
borrow $40 from Mr.. Dayis. and the next day set
out to buy few more sheep In the neighborhood
of Reesevllle, taking with him shepherd whom
he had engaged at $50 per month. About noon,
the Californian sent the shepherd back to the
hotel at Reeseville, to feed while he walked to
place near by where he knew there were sheep
for sale, borrowing IS from the shepherd until
the next day. As the sheep-man did not return
that evening, II was feared that he had got lost,
and subsequent events have confirmed this sus-
pcion. He is lost to them, as is likewise their
money, and the people Of the neighborhood are
| left TO mourn over the disappointment OF an
opportunity to sell their % sheep for Sl5 each.

Correspondence OF the Commercial
DORCHESTER Co., Jan. 90.
A protracted meeting Of some interest is being
conducted in the NJ. E. Church in Cambridge,
Rev. Mr.. Williams, pastor. Many are seeking
religion, principally young men.
As the time for the annual assembling OF the
Wilmington Conference draws nigh, more than
usual activity il seen in the respective charges
in the county. Salaries are being pushed up by
the people, and benevolent collections are being
pressed ON the liberality OF their flock by their
respective pastors with considerable earnest
ness. In this county these matters OF this
branch OF the general church look very well.
Cambridge station of tho N. r. Church South,
is still without pastor. This society ID unwil-
ling to have less than first rate preacher. They
have had talent in the past and they demand
talent In tho future, Their last preacher was a
good one, and last year they paid him nearly
fpe hundred dollars. True they did not supply a
parsonage The cireuit of the same church Is
supplied by Rev. Mr.. Amos, Of Virginia. This
work belongs to the Virginia Conference. A
queer freak, yet nevertheless It in every word
truth.
We have little sickness except measles and
deep colds. It has been unusually healthy in
'old Dorset, for some years past.
Business is not brisk. Money Is scarce, OF
COURSE Cambridge is moderately cheerful, but
at other points business is fiat Some interest is
felt in matters at Annapolis. The temperance
people Of our State would like to have the 'local
option" bill passed II possible. 1t will hardly
pass however. 1t is thoroughly Democratic, but
