MATTERS ABOUT TOWN
Portland Steam Fire Exoixes.— We
published Saturday a notice from the Portland
Company, with some commendatory letter*
respecting the Steam Fire Engine manufac
tured in that establishment We wish to call
the attention of the public to these machines.
That they are what the company claim fot
them, more compact, less liable to get out ol
order, easier managed, and more effective at
fires than any others, is fully sustained by
the certificates of those who have purchased
them and used them. There is not a city or
Urge town in the State but that should
have one of these machines. At one fire more
than the cost of it will be saved. The im
provements of the pump which have been in
troduced into these machines have been pa
tented by Mr. Johnson, and cannot be used by
any other than the Portland Company. There
is now no necessity for going out of the State
to get a first class steam fire engine.
Levee.—There will be a levee at Lancas
ter Hail this eveuiug for the benefit of the
Ministry at large. It is a most worthy object,
and we hope there will be an exceedingly
Urge attendance at the Hall. The Sabbath
School connected with this Association in the
Prebie street chapel, is open to all, and the
destitute are made comfortable in order that
they may attend the school. Connected with
it is a sewing school, which embraces all, with
out distinction of color, who are taught to
sew, and provided with cloth to make gar
ments for themselves. Let this charity be
well remembered, and let its purse be hand
somely replenished by a large turnout this
evening. There will be dancing, and music
by Chandler’s Band, which will be worth
more than the price asked for admission,
which is only twenty-five cents.
EyShip F. W. Bailey, which was lost out
side San Francisco harbor Jan. 8th, was built
at Freeport in 1853. She was Til 34-05 tons
burthen, and was owned, according to the last

25'h and Londonderry 28th, arrived at this

Postal Currency.—The Collector of this

ten dollars each, about (4000 ol the postal
currency. It took about flfteeu minutes to
distribute it. This sum, with the amount pre
viously distributed by the Collector, and the
■um of (12,000 recently received and distribu
ted by the Banks of this city, will, if only kept
in circulation, go far toward driving out of the
market the shin-piasters now so freely circula
ting.
Back Again.—The Coffee and Spice es
tablishment of Mr. J. Grant, in Union street,
which was destroyed by lire a short time since,
has risen like a phenix from the ashes, ami
Grant is back again to his old quarters, which
have been commodiously fitted up. The

people can get just as pure coffee and spices
at this establishment as they may desire.

course was unbounded, and it is determined
to make the second superior to the first.
Chandler will furnish the music, and the course
will wind up with a grand ball. The loyers of
Terpsichore should not fall to attend these
charming assemblies.
Accident.—Saturday afternoon Thomas
Welch, one of the employers of the Portland
Company, while at work in the machine shop,
caught his left hand in some part of the ma

I’urser Cook reported that by the arrival of
the gunboat Clifton at South West Pass he
learned that early on the morning of the 1st
the rebels made an attack by land and water
on the federal forces at Galveston. Our gun
boats were attacked by five rebel steamers,
protected by double rows of bales of cotton
and loaded with troops armed with rifles, mus
kets, iSrc. The liurriet Lane was captured by
boarding after about all her officers, including
Capt. Wright, Lieut. Lee and the crew, 130 all
told, had been killed by the musketry Iroin the
rebel steamers. My uforiuant slates tlftit but
one or two of the officers and twelve or tlfleen
of tile crew escaped death. The gunboats
Clifton and Owasco were engaged and escaped,
the former losing no men and having but one
wotinded, and the latter having one killed and
thirteen wounded. Two barks loadeikwith
coal fell into the hands of the enemy. The
Westfield flagship, Commodore Keusliaw, was
not engaged living ashore in another channel.
tier crew were iransierreu 10 transports ana
the Commodore, fearing alie might fall into the
hands of the reliels blew ber up. lty some
misinanagemet or accident the expulsion oc
curred before the bout containing Commodore
Kenshaw, Lieut. Zimmerman and a boats crew
got away, and they consequently were blown
up with the ship.
The crew of the Westfield arrived at New
Orleans in transports, and the remaining
troops are on their way back. They did not
arrive until the place had been evacuated.
The rebel force was estimated at about 5001,
under Gen. Magruder. Our land force, under
command of Col. Burrill of Massachusetts,
did not exceed 300, the residue not having ar
rived, or had not disembarked at the time ot
the fight. Our loss was estimated at 150 to
ISO killed and 200 taken prisoners, the navy
suffering the most. It is thought the rebel
loss much more, as our guns were firing grape
and canister continually in their midst. The
Federal troops were on one of the long wharves
and repulsed two charges of the rebels before
they surrendered. The rebels had several
batteries on the shore.

The French Council and the Rebellion.
Washington, Jan. 11.
The following is an extract from a private
letter, received in this city by the last steamer,
from an American gentleman in Paris, dated
December 23:
“The impression among the French here, is
that the reaction represented by Drouyn De
L'Huyu cannot last, and that a change in the
ministry is not unlikely to occur before Febru
ary. Mr. L. tells me that, ut the last Council
at the Tuilleries, the President’s Message was
laid upon the table, and the ministry pronoun
ced it wise, and all that the South could ask.
Upon the same authority he said that the Em
peror had abandoned his penchant tow ards the
South. Mr. Blank thought his authority pret
ty good.
The Moniteur has been thrown upon the de
fensive, which is a good sign, by the universal
disapprobation which the proposal of an arm
istice has encountered everywhere, li even
went so far as to publish an article which stat
ed that the government never expected that
tin. K1<\/ibui)n nrua In liu cntilumiln.l iliiriiHF tins
armistice. That being untrue, rentiers its ap
pearance in the Moniteur the more significant.
The Message has produced an excellent ef
fect here. It has not been successfully assail
ed in any quarter, while the President’s earn
estness, moderation, and forbearance, have
captivated all who were in a position to look
at Use case fairly. I augur the very happiest
results from the President’s proposals, though
I suppose no serious expectation of the adop
tion of the amendments is entertained.”

GREAT BRITAIN.
A meeting of the workingmen of Manches
ter was held in Free Tradg Hall on the 31st
ult., for the purpose of passing resolutions in
support of the Federai cause, and agreeing
upon an address to President Lincoln. The
Mayor presided. A letter was read from .John
Stuart Mill, warmly approving of the demon
stration as a just rebuke to the mean feeling
of a great portion of the people, and a source
of unqualified happiness to those whose hopes
and tears in the interests of humanity are
bound up in the prospects of the working
classes. Resolutions were passed expressing
sympathy with the attempt of President Lin
coln and colleagues to coerce the South, and
their satisfaction at the proclamation of eman
cipation, and other measures, tending at once
to give freedom to the slaves and restore peace
to the American nation. The address to Pres
ident Lincoln congratulates him on his hu
mans and righteous policy of emancipation,
and beseeches him, while yet the enthusiasm
is in a flame, and the tide of events runs high,
to finish the work effectually. The Mayor
was requested, and undertook simply in
individual character, to transmit the resolu
tions and address to President Lincoln, with
the hearty salutation of the meeting, and with
an expression of its earnest wish that Kng
lund and America may ever remain knit to
getherin the most intimate and fraternal bonds.
The revenue accounts to the end of the year

the Confederate .States of America will now
see that cotton Is not King, and that it would
be far better worth England's while even to
keep all Iter cotton operatives on pensions un
til they were absorbed in other trades titan to
vary one point in her national policy, and the
Federal North will tlnd in these figures the
secret of calm anti silent contempt with which
England pursues her steady course.
The annual stock takiiy; of cotton in Liver
pool developed an excess of 100,0011 bales over
