Miss ARMsTRoNGs LEcrURE.-The lecture
| by Miss Armstrong of England, at the Chestnut
| Street Church last evening, was quite interest
| ing. although owing to the storm, the audience
was small Temperance people may like water
as beverage, but they evidently are indisposed
to make liberal external applications of the
crystal element. The speaker was introduced
by Rev. Mr. Pitblado in bis characteristic style
and she proceeded to give an account of the
status of the temperance sentiment in England
at present. The masses of the people there, she
remarked, are waking up to the magnitude of
the evil of intemperance, which has its strong
hold in the church. The habits and customs of
society are identified with the traffic, and the
battle is complicated by side issues But the
liquor Parliament dare not bare-facedy legis-
late in the interests of the rum faction, strong
as it is Public sentiment is strengthening
against the business of liquor selling. The
speaker stated that the Order of Good Temp
lars like many other good things, originated in
this country, and that there are to-day 100000
men and women leagued under the Templars'
banner in England, and pledged to active en-
deavors to suppress the rum traffic. They have
no church on their side, but the members of
churches are getting their eyes open, and will
soon fall into line. Indeed, the Church of Eng
land has already formed temperance society
divided into two sections. viz, the total abstin-
ence people, and moderate drinkers. the latter
being in the majority. The great obstacle in
the way to the accomplishment of thorough
temperance revival in England is the feeling
that ssself-interest is the first law of nature;'
and influential men will carry on the liquor
business because it pays; and they care not
who they may ruin so long as they put money
into their purses. The eloquent speaker, how
ever, took hopeful view of the situation, and
confidently predicted that the right would ulti-
mately prevail, and the cause of temperance
win the day even in 7um-cursed England.

LONDON, July 2.-Despatches from Spain

at Muro were on the point Of retreating when
General Concha was killed.
MADRID, Jnly 2-The funeral of Gen.

tors on the line of procession was immense.
The Carlist force at Estella numbers Sc, 900
men. Gen. Zabula has LOG cannon, and the
hopes of his speedy victory are increasing.
The Carlsts theoretically deny the charges
of massacre and mutilation of the wounded and
prisoners.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Merchants Ex-

which says there is no foundation here or at
Halifax for reported loss of the Faraday.
DR.. E. Juch of New York, representative of
Reuters Telegraph Company, has received the
following:
HALIFAX, July 2.
Chapman, of Halifax, who telegraphed from
PiG1Ou to the Halifax news room, declines to
give us his authority for his statement of the
loss of the Faraday. No telegraph Office from

The Sfurtevant Murder.
PLYMOUTH, July I'm the Sturtevant muir
der trial to day, the government closed its evil
dence and the counsel for the prisoner opened
the case for the defence. He said the prisoner
did not shrink from an investigation, that they
should explain how blood came on the prison
er's clothing, the impossibity of distinguish
ing dried human blood from animal blood, the
whereabouts Of the prisoner the day and night
OF the murder SO that it would have been i'm
possible for him to commit the crime; to ex-
plain where he obtained the money in his pos
session and that it did not come from the STIR
tevant house; that the currency of that de-
scription is now in circulation; the impossible
ity of the footsteps being made by the prisoner.
Evidence was introduced to corroborate this
line of defence, after which the prisoners
counsel stated that they were content to rest
the case without the appearance of the pris-
oner's wife, who was too i'll to be present
The court adjourned till Friday when the clos
ing arguments will be made.

0RAND ARMY FAIR.-BOSW0rtn fOSt, u. "A.
r., propose to hold fair during the first part
of October next in City Hall. An executive
committee has been chosen to have general SUI
pervision of the arrangements, and numerous
subcommittee have also been appointed. 1t
seems almost superfuous to recapitulate tie
charitable work of the Post and the great
amount of work it has done and is doing
among the MANNED soldiers and the destitute
widows and orphans of those who died for their
country. The object of the fair is to replenish
their relief fund (Which the constant drain has
rapidly depleted) that they propose to hold this
fair and intend to make it first-class in every
respect. The lady friends of the Post are al
ready busily at work with zeal that is uncon-
querable, and are soliciting contributions of ar
ticles or cash among the ladies of the different
wards An efficient canvassing committee of
members of the Post has been appointed as fol-
lows: Gen. j. D. Fessenden, Gen. Geo. L.
Beal, Rev. G. w. Bicknell, DR.. George f.
French, DR.. S. P. Getchell, Maj. Charles Wal
ley, c. W. Bean, j. B. Bates, Jr., Thomas X.
Jones, c. A. Robinson, H. G. Houston, L. G.
Jordan The committee has organized by the
choice of Gen. Fessenden as chairman, L. G.
Jordan Secretary, and Matt Adams Treasurer.
The committee will call upon our citizens in a
short time and we doubt not but that they will
respond in their accustomed generous and APP
preciative manner. The members of the Post
have undertaken an enterprise demanding a
great amount of labor and they will need all
the aid they can get. The work is no more for
the interest Ct the Post than for Others In
other words, the duty of caring for the coun-
trys deserving poor belongs no more to them
than to others. 1t is the work of all and all
should respond literally.

PROPOSALS FOR NEW CHURcH.-In our
advertising columns this morning may be
found the call for tenders for building a new
Methodist church in Rockland Through the
liberality of the church committee these pro-
posals are offered to our Portland mechanics.
We have seen tie plans and elevations for the
building as designed by those rising and skill
ful architects, Messrs. Kimball & Coombs of
Lewiston, the first named being native and
recent resident of Portland, and we can safely
promise them perfect models of beauty and
good taste, and adaptability to the sacred pur-
poses of the building. The drawing and fin
ishing of the plans are alone deserving of es-
pecial praise. We trust that our resident con-
tractors and builders will take due heed of this
