MATTERS ABOUT TOWN. Supreme Judicial Court. CRIMINAL TERM—DAVIS, J., PRESIDING. Thursday. In the case of State vs. Ar minda Finnimore, indicted for keeping a house of ill fame, the jury ret urned a verdict of guil ty. Her counsel. Mr. O’Donnell, filed a mo lion for arrest of Judgment. The case of Timothy Ragan, the lad indict ed for arson, was resumed. The defense set up au alibi, and the father and mother of the prisoner testified that he was not out of the house on the evening of the fire, after 7 o’clock, except to bring in some wood, until the fire broke out. On the other hand, one witness testified that she saw the prisoner come out of his father's house, a short time before the fire broke out, go In the direction of the Weeks house, and return, after an absence of a little while. The evidence in the case was all put in, and Mr. O’Donnell made the argument for the prisoner, and Mr. Butler for the State. At the conclusion of Mr. Butler’s argument, the Court adjourned to 9 o’clock Friday morning, when the case will be delivered to the jury. Mnnicipnl Coart....March 12. George McCone, for drunkenness and dis turbance, was fined three dollars and costs.— Committed. Michael O’Hearn, Michael Downy, John Jeflerds, and Patrick McGrath, were brought up, charged with larceny. McGrath pleaded not guilty, aud Messrs. Evans A Putnam ap peared as his counsel. He was discharged.— The others pleaded guilty, and were sentenced to 30 days each in the County jail. These offenders are lads of from 13 to 16 years of age. They have stolen the copper spouts from the street sprinklers belonging to Joshua Stevens, and sold them for old copper. The case was placed in the hands of police officer Wentworth, who worked it up hand somely, by discovering where the lads had sold the copper, and then arresting the gang. Court Martial.—The arguments in the ease of Qco. W. Piper, a private of Co. F, 7th Me. regiment, were made yesterday. They were of considerable length and excited much interest. It seems that, on the 12ih day of January last, Piper received a furlough ex tending to the 20th of the same month. On or about the lttth, he told one Spooner Sim tpons, a hostler at Ilallowell, that he had made arrangements to desert the service, go to New York, and thence ship for the Chincha islands. This story came to the ears of Lieut- W ey mouth, whose business it was to bunt up de serters, and he accordingly had Piper arrested and carried before Lieut- T. C. Webber, act ing poet adjutant at Augusta. While in the presence of the Adjutant, Piper again told of his purpose to desert, saying he had intended to go to Boston and ship. On this point the witnesses for government did not agree. After this confession, Piper was confined in Augusta jaii to await orders from his com manding officer. Nothing further transpired until this court martial, when the same ac knowledgment is introduced as evidence against him. The point involved is a very im portant one, and vital to the rights of soldiers. The question presented for determination is, whether or not a soldier ran be considered guilty of desertion on simple expression of an intention to commit such an offense. The government contended that such inten tion constituted the offense. The defense denies that such a proposition can be considered true, lnteutiou to commit crime is only ground for arrest as a preventive of the offense, and is of no consequence pro vided the crime intended is not committed.— Further than this, the counsel for the prisoner argued strongly that the acknowledgement of such intention to commit the crime of deser tion, is of no importance, since it was made while the prisoner was drunk, when he was not of sufficient reason, owing to his intoxi cated state, to know what he did say. »“The Buckley’s gave the last of a se ries of four concerts at the City Hall last ev ening, to a large and delighted audience.— Their entertainments are the richest and most varied of anything iu the Ethiopean line that we have ever witnessed. While they arc full of humor, and of mirth-provoking comicali ties, they are felicitously free from all vulgar allusion, and profane jests, and can scarcely offend the most fastidious. Ethiopean min strelsy has become one of the institutions of the age, as much so as the Opera or the Dra ma, and we feel confident that the Buckleys intend it shall not suffer in reputation in their Lands. Altogether, we regard them as far ahead of any troupe that has yet visited our city. Their peculiar burlesque operas consti tute a rich feature, and are infinitely superior to the ordinary finale to such exhibitions. Mechanic Association-.—liev. S. H. Mer rill, pastor of the Bethel Church, delivered an able, interesting and entertaining lecture last evening before the Mechanic Association, up on “The Sailor and his calling.” The constant intercourse of the lecturer with that class of our fellow-citizens, whose value and whose needs he so ably portrayed in the lecture, en abled him to present the subject in a vivid light- A vote of thanks was passed by tbe Association to Mr. Merrill at the close of the lecture. Tbe question assigned for debate next Thursday evening is in relation to the man agement of our public schools. Waare requested to notify the members that an adjourned business meeting of the As sociation will be held this evening at 7 1-2 o'clock, and that a full attendance is desirable, as it will be the last business meeting before tbe annual meeting of tbe Association in April. A Secbet Expedition.—An impromptu secret expedition was got up Wednesday eve ning by a lew friends for the purpose of visit ing the family of a young man who has re centiy fallen in the service of bis country whose parents were chiefly de|»endent upoi his services for their support. We learn tha In addition to tender sympathies from these friends, the family received a generous auc substantial donation. Such “expeditions’ speak well for human nature, and we hop< we may be able to chronicle thorn more Ire quently. By We bad exhibited to us yesterday i pair of ladies’ skates, manufactured, in ever; part, by Mr. Frauk P. Donnell, an employe! in tbe brass foundry of Messrs. C. A. Donnel & Co.

Hernandez Ravel Troupe.—Doering Hall was thronged last evening to witness the performances of this troupe, which was a repetition of those of Wednesday evening. They went off, however, with more spirit, in consequence of the splendid music from the Band of the 17t!i U. S. Regiment, led by Fop penburg. We have had nothing in Portland to equal this troupe since Blondin was here. Their performances throughout the evening elicited the applause of the audience. This evening there will be a change of programme, and two new pantomimes, of the most laugha ble character, will be performed. The Band of the 17tli will also appear and add zest to the entertainment by their superior music. car- The Assembly held at Mechanics’ Hall, on Wednesday evening of this week, under the auspices of the Spiritualists, was a perfect success in every respect. Chandler furnished the music, which, as usual, was all that could be desired. The management, in every par ticular, seemed to be perfect. The floor man agers in particular were very gentlemanly, and iooked well after the wants of the danc ers, procuring partners for strangers, and oth erwise doing the agreeable to the satisfaction of all. The next party, under the same man agement, will coine off on Friday evening of next week, March 20th. Accident.—A span of horses attached to a sleigh ran away yesterday, in Portlaud street, and knocked down two women. One of them was dragged some distance and was severely injured. She was taken into a neighboring shop, and a surgeon was sent for, who attend ed to her injuries. CF" We understand that John E. Dounell, Esq., has purchased the free stone building occupied by Messrs. Woodman, True * Co., on Middle Street. Terms not made known. BY TELEGRAPH -TO THE EVENING PAPERS.

A letter from headquarters off Vicksburg, states that the river has now risen until it has overflowed its banks. All that portion of the bank betwean the levee and the river is under water, and the levee is all that restrains it from overflowing the camps, ail of them be ing situated on ground that is seven or eighl feet lower than the present level of the water in the river. There is no symptom ol any plan ol attack upon Vicksburg. Everything is deferred until the completion of the canal, when the plan of attack will probably develop itself by the ruuuing ol transports through it so as to be beyond the range of the enemy's batteries on the bills op posite, the ro-embarkation of the troops ami the lauding of the whole arinv somewhere be low Vicksburg, on the Mississippi side of the River.
