PORTLAND SUGAR HoUsE.-Yesterday one of
our old CORPORATIONS closed its corporate exis-
tepce The Portland Sugar Company, which
was established in 1855, having recently liqui-
dated its affairs, has now disposed of all its
real estate to the Hon. J. B. Brown-late Pres
ident of the company and the owner of the
largest part of the stock-and has relinquished
its charter
Prior to the great confagration of 1866 the
business transacted by the corporation was
very large, over 10000 hogsheads of molasses
being converted into sugar and syrup annually
that held very high reputation at the South
and West. Employment was also given to over
thousand laborers. The fire destroyed the
old sugar house, but a new one, covering an
acre of ground, was speedily constructed. For
year or two the company continued operations
hut an active competition in the mean time
started up in other cities, the new centrifugal
process was introduced, and, the business be.
coming Improbable, the Portland Sugar Com.
pany suspended operations year or two ago.

LECTURE.-As will be seen by the advertise
ment, Rev. Charles B. Pitblado delivers lee
ture in City Hall next Friday evening, entitled
"Mind your own business" Speaking of this
talented and forcible young preacher the dread
ian says in reference to lecture delivered at
Wolfville, entitled "The voice of God in nature
and Revelation"
No wonder that with the reverend gentle
mans widespread reputation, not only in this,
but in the adjoining. Province, and in Bonnie
Scotland" his native land, there should be so
large an attendance of the students of the Ar
cadia College. To say that it was an intellect
ual treat is only to convey very faint idea of
its value; to say it was FEAST rich and in
exhaustible feast, would be nearer the mark
feast that will endure while memory and
mind retain their position.
Referring to another lecture, it says: ''We
have often admired his originality and benevo-
lent nature, and respected him for that great
ness of soul which characterizes his every SEN
timent and expression. Influenced by these
preconceived ideas, we went to the lecture pre-
pared for more than ordinary treat We
were not disappointed. The whole discourse
was remarkable for its lofty conceptions and
forcible expressions. 1t indicated genius of a
high order, destined to shine in the cause of
truth Pitblado is altogether remarkable
man, and this last effort only adds one more
sprig to his wreath of laurelS already Won"

TO HAVE JOINED THEM.
dispatch received at Yreka states that Cap
tain Jack is making his way toward the Pitt
river Indians. The Warm Spring Indians and
the troops under Perry and Hasbrouck are pur-
suing him. 1t is reported that quarrel has
broken out among the savages, two thirds de-
claring that they will fight no longer. Another
dispatch says the Modocs are scattered in the
country. A battle was fought at Antelope
creek on Monday. Hasbrouck overhauled the
ModOcs and a fight ensued on the hills close to
Fairchilds. The M0docs were driven southwark
on the Tickn0r road towards Timbered buttes
Five ModOcs are reported killed in the battle,
and ten squaws and papoOses captured. The
troops on Tuesday were hurrying towards Van
Bremar's, still In pursuit of the MOdocs.
Later dispatches received at Yreka Yesterday
afternoon say that the MOdOcs are still going
toward the Pitt river country. Trails have been
discovered, showing that the Modocs and the
Pitt river Indians have been in constant COM
municatiOn. 1t is believed the latter are with
Captain Jack now. The Piutes are out Of their
country also. Twenty-Five were seen in Sur
prise valley, but suddenly disappeared. 1t is
reported that large quantities Of ammunition
have been sold to the Pitt river Indians. Sew
eral councils were held by them, at which their
attitude was threatening. Old Shave Head
tells them that they must fight or 60 to their

REPORTED BUTCHERY OF PRISONERS BY THE

BARCELONA, May 22.-Later dispatches re-
ceived here from Sanahnja state that twenty of
the volunteers who surrendered to Carlists were
butchered in the streets, and the fate of forty
other prisoners Is unknown, and 1t Is believed
they, too, have been killed. The atrocities of
the insurgents caused immense excitement
here. The militia assembled at their armories
and demanded that the Carlsts now held as
prisoners In this city be given up to them for
execution, in retaliation for the cruelties com
mitted by the insurgents at Sanahnja. The
authorities refused to surrender the prisoners,
and transferred them to q fortress in the harbor
to save them from the wrath Of the militia. 1t
is probable that q number Of veli-known Car
list sympathixers in Barcelona will be arrested
and held as hostages for the safe return of the
volunteers now in the hands Of the insurrec-
tionists. A levy en- nsosse upon the population
for troops to operate against the insurgents is
expected to take place shortly.

TIE POLARIS-
TYSON AND BURLINGTON.
Characters Of the Two Men.

NEW YORK, May "a gentleman Of this
city, who has been connected with a shipping
house in New London, Conn, which formerly
employed both Capt. Tyson and Capt. Bud
dingtOn, makes q number Of interesting state
ments in regard to the dispositions Of these two
men, whose characters, reports received thus
far, seem to place in such strong contrast.
CAPTAIN TYSON,
some six or seven years ago, was principal in an
adventure singularly like that OF the Polsris.
He was in command Of the whaling schooner
Era, on whaling voyage from New London to
Greenland. In the fall of the year, while lying
In Cumberland Sound, the vessel broke from
her moorings, and he was Obliged to abandon
her with all his crew, "a men, taking with him
all his stores and provisions. Making his way 20
shore with his crew, he built tents from sails
taken from the vessel, and lived under them
during the entire winter. His vessel was five
miles IRON shore. in the pack ice, without an
chorage, all the time. When the ice broke up
in the spring, on seeing that the ship was not
seriously damaged, he regained il, filled il with
oil, and returned 10 New London. Living un-
der canvas during the entire winter proved his
hardihood, while his Immediately seizing the
opportunity to regain his ship is but an index
Of the man. Tyson is described as a brave,
dashiDg captain, who will expose his vessel TO
the dangers of the Arctic winter up TO the very
last moment Of safety, and will very often ac-
complish brilliant results.
BURLINGTON,
on the other hand, is a careful and calculating
Yankee, who is noted for his scrupulous guar
dianship of property and lens under his charge.
His New London neighbors are reported to have
predicted, when the expedition started, that
BuddingtOn would bring back his vessel and
crew in safety, and that scientific results would
be subordinated 80 far as he was concerned ID
this end. But the story that he deliberately
abandoned nineteen helpless human beings TO
their fate is not credited. He Is a man Of family
and experience and deemed incapable of any
such cruelty. Both Of the men are old whaling
captains, and have made eight or ten voyages
each: Captain Buddington brought into New
London the Resolute, one of Sir r. Belcher's
expedition, which was abandoned MAY II, 1861,
not far from Beechy Island. Captain Budding
ton was then on a whaling voyage.
