Supreme Judicial Court*
JANUARY TERM—CUTTING J., PRESIDING.
Wednesday.—The case of Hovey vs.
Chase “drags its slow length along.” The
entire day was occupied in the examination of
two witnesses for the plaintiff, Mr. Leonard
Bond and Mrs. Howell. From present appear
ances we should judge that the jury would
hardly get the case this week.
Municipal Court....Feb. 4.
Michael Cunnid|liam, for the larceny of one
dozen combs, eighteen pairs of scissors, and
twelve corkscrews, from the store of Messrs.
Emery A Waterhouse last Tuesday, was sen
tenced to thirty days Imprisonment in the
County Jail. The prisoner pleaded guilty.—
He went into the shop, ostensibly to make a
purchase, and while there pocketed the above
mentioned articles. He was seen doing it,
and an officer was called, who took him into
Into custody.
‘ William Buddy, for resisting officer Barr
while he was executing n search and seizure
process, was adjudged not guilty and was dis
charged. The officer undertook to execute
theproenssin the night-lime, in a dwelling
house, which he was not required to do by the
warrant, and was resisted by Buddy. Ander
son A Webb for the defense.
Mr. Beecher's Lecture.—The lecture to
be delivered before the Mercantile Library
Association tills evening by Hev. Henry Ward
Beecher is “What shall be done with New
England.” It was delivered in Boston Tues
day evening, to an immense audience. The
Journal says of it: “It was one of the very
best of the forensic efforts of this talented
lecturer. For playful humor, keen sarcasm,
striking analysis of character and frequent
bursts of eloquence, it stands almost unrivaled.
The topic was one after Mr. Beecher's own
heart Himself a New Englander, and strong
ly imbued with some of the best characteristics
of the Puritan race, he could speak with all
the animation of sincerity and deep feeling of
those sterling qualities which have made New
England what it is. While he traced the in
fluence of New England through the whole
fabric of our society and political institutions,
he showed, with a logical lorce of reasoning
which can hardly be evaded, that whoever
might be done with the territory of New Eng
land, her Ideas (a term which comprehends all
those agencies that are so obnoxious to the
believers in the divine right of slavery) would
still shape the destinies ol this republic.”
An Insane Freak.—Tuesday evening ap
plication was made at the Police office for the
removal to the Hospital of Mr. Thomas Bow
ers, a worthy rigger, who had suddenly be
came insaue. A force was sent to his house
on Sumner street to remove him, but, at the
request of his wife, and the promise of three
men that they would watch him during the
night, the removal was deferred until morn
ing. About 8 o’clock in the morning, two of
the watchers having left the room, Bowers
sprang from his bed, and with a stick of wood
chased the other watcher from the room, and
then escaped to the street, where he wandered
about some fifteen minutes with no other gar
ment on than a shirt,—the mercury being be
low zero. He was discovered by two men
who had been riding out of town, who secured
him, and were taking him to the police office
when they were met by officers Williams and
BUey, who had been in pursuit of Bowers.
They took him to the lodging room iu the
police quarters, and yesterday morning bis
ft-iends sent him to the City Hospital.
Habeas Corpus Case.—In the U. S. Dis
trict Court yesterday, before Judge Ware,
George E. Williams of Cornville was brought
up, on the petition of his father, Zilpha C.
Williams, who alleged that his son was 17
years of age last July, and that he enlisted in
Co. F, 7th Maine Regiment, without the con
sent of him, the father. His discharge was,
therefore, prayed lor. The case came before
Judge Ware a week ago, but was continued
in order to hunt up a written consent from the
filther that the son might enlist, which paper
it was supposed was in existences. Xo such
paper being produced yesterday, Judge Ware
ordered the discharge of the soldier from his
enlistment. Vinton A Dennett for petition
er. G. E. B. Jackson, Esq., for Col. Mason.
A Cold Snap.—The inild weather took
rather a sudden turn Tuesday night. Yester
day at sunrise the mercury in the thermome
ters in Exchange street stood at 14 degrees be
low zero, and iu other localities, more exposed,
we understand it reached 18 below. At no
time during the day did it rise to zero. At
noon it stood at 5 degrees below, and at 7
o'clock last evening at 6 below. Many per
sons had their ears and irises touched by Jack
Front in no very gentle manner. A lad on
Central Wharf, employed in leading a horse
engaged in discharging the cargo of a vessel,

An Afflicted Family.—Oh Saturday
last our esteemed fellow-citizen J. L. Kelley,
Esq., after an illness of some months, which
did not confine him to his bouse, died quite
suddenly. On Tuesday of the present week
his daughter, Florence, having been sometime
sick, also passed away. We regret to learn
that other members of the family are 111. We
trust they may have a speedy recovery. This
bereaved circle shares largely iu the sympa
thies of the community.
ByThe promenade concert last evening,
for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers,
was a very pleasant affair. Although the hall
was not crowded, still there was a large and
brilliaut audienee, and everything went off in
the happiest manner. The floor of the hall
bad been thoroughly cleansed, which made It
much more pleasant for the dancers than it
was at the preceding concert.
Fire.—The alarm of Are yesterday morn
ing, about 10 o’clock, proceeded from the
house of Mr. Amos Grover, on Congress
street, corner of Vernon Court. It caught

FROM WASHINGTON.
The Duty on Imports or Pnper.
_
Amendment to the Internal Tax Law.
ASSIGNMENTS IN THE NAVY.
Report of the Committee on Elections on
the Norfolk Case.
Amendment* to the House Finance Bill.
Washington, Feb. 4.
The Secretary of tile Treasury has replied
to an inquiry of the Senate, relative to the
amount of the duty oil imports on paper, lie
says it is not separately classified, but is in
cluded in the manufactures of paper. The
imports under the present act at New York
are $120,141, yielding a revenue of $39,084;
at Boston, $30,0S4, yielding a revenue oi
$9088; at Baltimore and Philadelphia none,
, making an aggregate of $130,82.r>, and giving
a revenue of $49,372. The Secretary says it
i is impossible to state how much of this Is for
\ printing paper, hut expresses the opinion that
! the dhiiiiiuiliou of the duty would cousidera
j bly increase the revenue. It may here be said
j that there is an increasing disposition to pur
sue such a course of legislation as the persis
tent efforts of the paper extortionists to pre
serve the present duties become more gener
ally known among members of Congress.
Tile hill of Kepresentative Loomis, referred
to the Committee on Ways and Means to-day,
amendatory of the internal tax law, requires,
I in the transactions in gold and silver of loans
j upon collaterals or deposits in coin, a stamp
; equal to 1 i er centum u|h>ii all sums above
, $ItX), if the contract is fulfilled within three
days; if within sixty days, and more than
32 1-2 per centum, for every thirty days there
allcr 1 per centum additional; and if on de
mand, 1 per centum for every thirty days that
it is unfulfilled. All unstamped contracts are
to be null mid void, and the money paid re- I
i coverable by action for one’s own use aud l
: benefit.
Commander Ilenry French lias been ordered
i to the Boston Navy Yard.
l.icui, »> in. r. opier lias Decn ordered to the
West Gulf blockading squadron.
Com. Worden was to-day nominated to tlie
Senate for Captain in the Navy lor meritorious
conduct.
Tlie Committee on Elections, in their report
against the claims of McLeod and his contes
tant wing for a seat in the House of Repre
sentatives from tlie second district of Vir
I ginia, say the district comprises Norfolk and
! ten other counties in a portion of the pre
I cincts, only in four of which were the polls
; opened, the remainder of the territory being
\ in possession of tlie retails. Mr. Wing had
tHl votes, Mr. McLeod H4i>. a Mr. Coper lltJ,
j with 20 scattering votes, making a total of
! 1402 votes in a district usually polling about
i 10,000 votes. The committee, therelore, re- •
port, iu accordance with their custom and
that of the House in similar cases, that this
was in no just sense an election.
The amendments of the .Senate Finance
Committee to the House hill, providing ways
and means for the support of the Government,
are important. The Secretary of the Treas
ury is authorized to borrow $;h)0.000,OUO, and
issue therefor cousins or registered bonds,
payable after such periods as may be fixed by
Inin, not less than live nor more than forty
years from dale, in coin, and of such denomi
nations, not less than $T>0, as lie may deem ex
pedient, bearing interest at a rate not exceed
ing six per cent, per annum, payable in bonds
not exceeding (1UU annually, and on all other
bonds semi-annually in coin. The Secretary
lias the discretion to dispose of such bonds at
any time upon such terms as lie may deem
most advisable for lawful money of the United
State, or for any cert I llcates of indebtedness
or deposit that inay at any time be unpaid, or
for any of the Treasury notes heretofore is
sued, or which may lie issued under the pro
visions of this act. All tlie bonds and treas
ury notes or United Slates notes issued under
its authority shall be exempt from taxation By
or under State or municipal authority. The
Secretary has power to issue to $400,000,000
treasury notes, payable at such time, not ex
ceeding three years from date, as he may de
termine. bearing interest at a rate not exceed
ing live per cent, per annum, which interest,
on all notes for less amounts than $100, shall
lie payable at the maturity thereof, and on all
notes for $100 and upwards at the time au
thorized on their face; the interest on these
notes and on certificates of indebtedness and
deposits hereafter to lie paid in lawful money;
the notes are to be of such denominations as
the Secretary may deem expedient, not less
than $10 each; to lie receivable for internal
duties ami all debts ami demands due to the
Uuited Slates, excepting duties on imports,
and shall lie a legal tender at their face value,
excluding interest at the same extent as United
States notes. The committee, Ju the third
section, propose to reduce from $.'1,000,000 to
$1,500,000 the authority to issue, if required
by tlie exigencies of tlie public service, for tile
payment of the army ami navy and other cred
itors of the Government iu tlie United Stales
notes. They include the amount of notes au
thorized by tlie joint resolution passed Jan. 17,
and repeal so much of tlie act ol February
and July, 1802, as restricts the negotiations of
bauks to market value. Tlie holders of United
Stales notes issued under these laws are re
quired to present them for the purpose of ex
changing them for bonds, as then iu provided,
on or before tlie Is* day of July next, and
thereafter the right to go to exchange shall
cease ami determine. The committee, in the
4th section, among other amendments, propose
to strike out the proviso limiting the whole
rilliniMit <>1 tr.-irl r»nrr»*tw*v inaiifil im-lml
; ing postage ami revenue stump? as currency,
to $50,000,000. The 8th section is proposed to
I*.* amended, by requiring ull hanks, associa
tions, corporations, or individuals, issuing
notes or bills for circulation as currency to
pay a duty of 1 per cent each half year from
and after April 1st next upon the average of
notes or bills issued and outstanding during
tiie six months next preceding the return pro
vided for in the section. The sliding scab* of
tax according to the amount of capital is
stricken out The committee also report in
lavor of striking out the ‘.till section, which so
modifies the independent treasury act as to
authorize the Secretary, at his discretion, to
allow any money obtained from loans and in
ternal revenue to Ik* deposited in bank.?, and
to be drafted or checked upon by the Secre
tary of tbe Treasury.

Letter from Boston.
Boston, Feb. 3,1863.
To the Editors of the Unity Press:
Gen. McClellan still refuses to submit to be
ing “received” or dinnerized, or any of that
sort of uncomfortable aud unsatisfactory hum
bug. On Monday he was ready to see his
friends at the Tremont House; but the crowd
was so great, and the rooms were so small,
that this kind of reception was deemed im
practicable; and so tire front doors were
locked to the in-comers and out-goers, ami
everybody had to wait in the mud. The as
sembly in the street was very large. From
Scollay’s building to “Southinayds” the crowd
tilled the highway, and there was hardly stand
ing room. Here they hurrahed, and hungrily
waited to see the General. He made his ap
pearance at three o’clock on the balcony,
when the entire throng cheered loud and long.
He merely waved his acknowledgments to the
populace, and retired. For the benefit of
those who have not yet seen the General, let
me say that they must not expect to see a jet
black moustache, or an eye anxious and fierce
like the twenty-five cent pictures of him. On
the contrary, they will see a well-built, fine
looking man, w ith a good natured smirk on his
military countenance, and a very rusty mous
tache. Upon the whole the writer, who was
one of the aforesaid mob, was glad to know
that the General appreciated the honor of ten
thousand hearty cheers. It was really an hon
or for any man, public or private, to receive.
SOLDIEKa’ INF1UM AKIES.
On Saturday the general visited the vari
ous soldiers' hospitals in the city, and was
warmly welcomed by all the sick and conva
lescent. His visit will do much to cure a good
many of the doubtful cases; those patients
where a hope or a fear will turn the quivering
balance. McClellan also visited the Massa
chusetts General Hospital, where he was re
ceived by the students of the Medical School.
His wife was accompanied by I)r. Warren; Dr.
Bigelow' did the honors of the surgical wards.
McClellan certainly has the golden gift of si
leuce, for nobody has yet been able" to get a
speech from him in Boston. He will leave in
the city thousands of well-wishers.
THEATERS.
The celebrities come and go. Booth and
Forrest, Miss Bateman and Laura Keene,
Booth, Jr., and Mrs. Page. Soon we are to
iieve an opera, and then everything will be in
full furore. They had a row at the Museum
the other night, but the morning papers kept
mum about it, and so I suppose it wasn't to be
mentioned out of the family.
TERESA CARRENO.
This piano forte prodigy has been playing
here for ever so long, and always for “fare
well” houses. She lias had several “adieus”
and farewells” and "lieneflu” ami “last appear
ances”—but now has gone. She is, as you
know, young. If she wasn't, she couldn’t till
her halls uiglil alter night. But in spite of her
fender years, it is about time for her to either
wear long dresses or else stop growing. She
is a smart tittle girl, who can play pretty well,
"considering;” but, all newspa|M*r puffs aside,
there are a dozen better, although older, ar
tistes in this city. 1 don't think age ought to
make so much difference about musicians as it
seems to; music doesn't beloug to years or
scores of years. For my own part 1 had rath
er hear a Hue pianist, of flfty, execute his mu
sic in an effective manner, than to listen to an
infant in arms. And so hail any old buchelor.
BARNUM THE ENTICKH.
This sly old catch penny, who knows
what people want to see and what they will
pay for, has uow two monsters u|>on exhibi
tion. One of these is the Hippopotamus, called
facetiously on the show bills. "The Behemoth
of the Book of Job.” The other is the fat wo
man, who must be the Leviathan also referred
to in that anch-nt wriiiiig; at least we can say
so with the same propriety. These two mam
moths draw large houses.
Barnum, the gay deceiver, has come out in
front of his tubs and tanks. Diogenes-like with
a lantern. We can’t yet tell what man he is
after, but he has his eye on somebody. The
new Lantern is a subdued copy of the paste
board palace in Bridgeport, “I ranistan,” which
took to itself wings. But Barnum is irrepress
ible, and we must all acknowledge that he is
really handy to have in the city. His amuse
ments are just as harmless as the old lyceums
and debaling-clubs in the country.

PROF. HENRI DCCOM beg* to inform the stu
dents of the French language that for the present
all hi* time is engaged. He expect* to be enabled to
receive a tew more pupils at tho end of the present
term, March 1st.
The professor thanks most heartily the community
for the large, intelligent, and refitted patronage be
stowed upon him. lie knows that he owes in part
his saoeess to the fhct that he is, not only the sole
French teacher educated in Pari* (France) but even
the only Frenchman teaching in Portland The re
markable proficiency in speaking French attained by
hi* pupils, must be reckoned also as one of its causes.
It is a dithctilt thing to teach properly a modern lan
guage: peculiar qualifications are necessary. Tho
French language, like all modern languages, g«x»s
through |Harpctual transformations; hence its rules,
cannot present that clearness and that precision of
dead language*. Often difficulties occur Which gram
mar cannot solve: the professor is then guided, eith
er by the sound or the custom: this is one of the
stumbling blocks of the American or Swiss teacher.
Again, the multiplicity of the rules of French syn
tax. offer no little perplexity. A good teacher ought
to know which rule* lie must use. which ones he
must reject; he will avoid thus contusing the mind
of his pupil Only the teacher of French birth and
education can make a judicious selection.
Here is the key of the success of Prof. Henri I>u*
com. Tin* pupil know-* he has with him a safe guide
in all difficulties. What must lx* the thoughts of a
studeut taking lessons of a teacher whose abilities he
j doubts! Very likely those of a mau employing two
