NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Monday, July 8, 1644. The Murder of Joo Smith, the Mormon Prophet. We received by the afternoon mail yesterday, and issued immediately, in an extra, the intelli- gence which we give in another columa, of the murder of Joe Smith and his brother. This shock- ing piece of news, we have every reason to believe, is authentic. It excited a great deal of interest in the city. ‘We certainly have been expecting for some time past the receipt of some such intelligence from the Mormon country. The irrepressible excitement amongst the people of that district, was, it was easy to foresee, soon to result in bloodshed and murder. This occurrence discovers in a very striking man- ner, the utter impotency of the law, in controlling the passions ot an infuriated mob, and, with the recent catastrophe in Philadelphia before our eyes, we of this region cannot very consistently lecture the people «of the West on their preference for Lynch law of the most sanguinary description. The death of the modern Mahomet will seal the fate of Mormonism. They cannot getanother Joe Smith. The holy city must tumble into ruins, and the “latter day saints” have indeed come te the latter day. Mormonism from the beginning was a sad delusion, and the violence and folly which had begun te characterize the movements of the Proph- @:" leave little room for sympathy in any quarter for its fate, bloody and revolting as it has been. The English News—State and Prospects of the British Ministry. By the last steamships, especially by the “*Great Western,” we have received very in- teresting intelligence respecting the present position of Sir Robert Peel, and the preca- rious condition of the Tory administration. It is very evident that Sir Robert now holds office by a very uncertain tenure. The opposing elements are rapidly commingling, and we do not believe that the reign of the Tories can last many months longer. The ministerial defeat on the Sugar Duties Bill has inspired all classes of the opposition with hope and energy, and although Sir Robert, by whippiog some refractory followers up to the mark, on a suc- ceeding day, succeeded in carrying a motion to Tecon-ider the adverse vote, yet the moral effect was undiminisned, and still more disastrous re- verses are unavoidable. The government plan was to continue the duty of 24s. per cwt. on Bri ish Colonial sugars. This was opposed by Mr. Miles, one of the members tor Bristol, who moved an amendment that the duty be reduced to 20s., which was carried by a majority of twenty, in one of the fullest houses of the session. One of the journals gives the following analysis of what has been called the “ right about face division.” It is carious enough. Here it is:— Anauvate or Division on Mn, Mutus’s Motion. —Tellers incladed. 15 ,, June 17, Liberals,. 196 §4,,™T", {8M | Liberals, « 11 4 H¢zs.than on 25 257 The ministerial crisis was tollowed by a very violent burst from the leading Tory organs. The Times, in a long and able article commenting with great severity onSir Robert Peel’s general conduct, as the head of the Conservative party, thus point- edly rebukes the great Whig leader: “If Sir Robert Peel’sa measures were the best ever con- ceived by the most consummate wisdom, inspired by the highest Virtue, he would have no claim to the absolute confidence, the utter prostration of judgment, which he demands : for this plain reason—thut his supporters are the very last persons in whom he reposes confidence. No eontidence cun last which is not reciprocal. Sir Robert does not communicate with his supporters —does not pre- pare them —does not identify himself with them—does not stand by them—does not protect them—does not give them the smallest credit, or the smallest share in his suc- cesses, auch as they are. On the contrary, every step in his course is their humiliation and confusion. "He deals with them as with his most open enemies. He takes them hy surprise at every turo All hie moasures are coups @ Etat, He brings them into a detile, with the enemy iv their front, and some dreaiful extremity in the rear, so ar to cut off all retreat, and then says, ‘1 don’t trust you; but you mast fight, or be destroyed to a man.” Whether con- fidence in #0 miscellaneous a body as the conservativer would not be whollymisplaced,it Sir Robert did happen to feel i, is quite another question. We are only saying, that inasmuch as he does not trust them out of his sight, ‘80 to speak, or from one hour to another, but puts, if any- thing, rather more coufiderce in their enemies, he has no manner of right to bewail, deplore, deprecate, obsecrate. and vo forth, when he fiads them behaving precisely as he himaelf has all along treated them.” Thissignificant language has been of course taken up and re-echoed by the prominent whig journals throughout the couatry. We annex a few speci- mens of the altered tone and spirit of presses which were previously amongst the most unscrupulous sup- porters of the administration. The Liverpool Mail, commenting on the article in the Times, from which we have just quoted, says— We heartily and cordially subscribe to every word con- tained in the Shove passage. Sir Robert Peel has made. during his career, a liberal use of wh g principles, but, as Fogardy his proper party and bis suppo ters, he bas taker, his own way in repudiating whiz policy. Whet we mean is thie: He has made a tolerably discreet use of his friends, and purveyed his patron; in an opposit directisn, Pf y' patronage Pposi'« (From the Liverpool Courier.) Sir Robert Puel does not stop here. He declarer tion to follow up this step with another, and tc house through the mud as completely as he did se “ bens hast 9p ponies on we must suy, is equally discreditable to the Minister who end to toe membera who submit to it. Why (tald men who go to Parliament prepared to support the general po. licy of Ministers be expected to acquiesce in every mea sure that they may bring forward? No Goveroment ls entitled to exact any such implicit and servile deference from ita party. In that case, the constitution, for the most part, would be virtually abrogated. Representation would be amere name, and Parliament might as well ad. journ sine die, leaving the Ministers of its choice to frame and enact such laws as they might judge proper. (From the Dublin Evening Mail ) The cheers with which the announcement of the defeat of Ministers was hailed, last night, from the Conservative Denches. left no doubt on the minds of Ministers as to the feeling of the party towards them. “Thus, in two and « half ycars, having falsified every pledge they gave whilst ot office, the Ministry that boosted of a majority of hundred house called by their antagonists, now vetire without sympathy or honor.” These mutterings Of rebellion in his own party, are alarming enough, but Sir Robert has now ar- rayed against him in formidable combination a va- riety of opposing elements against which it terly impossible tor him to maintain his position. The imprisonment of O’Connell has been eagerly seized upon by the English Whigs,—who care as much for Ireland as the Tories,—and the old coa- litton between them and the Irish members has been renewed. Then we have the anti-corn law leaguers who have growii into a vast influential body, throwing in their forces against the Premier. In Scotland too, the agitation on the Church ques- tion has produced a wonderful revolution amongst the great body of voters, and an election there now would discover widely different results trom those which followed the last. A large majority against the Tories would be returned from Scot. land. All these elements are now uniting, and the next defeat of the ministry in the House must be followed by their resignation. Tue Mexican War Steamers.—The Mexican war steamer Guadaloupe will be raised upon the Sectional Dry Dock, at the foot of Pike street, this morning about 9 o'clock, and will afford a good op- portunity for seeing her, and witnessing the opera- tion of the Dock. The Hull of the steamer is con- structed of iron. She is the first vessel of the de. scription ever attempted to be raised upon a Dry Dock in this harbor We understand that several shot pierced her hull during an engagement with Com. Moore, and temporary repairs only have hitherto been made. The sheets of iron pierced are now to be replaced by others. The Montezu- ia is also to be repaired in a few days. : The Secretary of the Navy is expected on here in the course of a week to make the examinatior relative to the construction of a dry dock at thi oi He has the devision of this vexed ques. tion. 6 The Hon. Ex-Secretary John C, Spencer ir shortly expected in town from Washington, Tux Tria. or Pouty Bopine ap 17s Resuut. —The result of this truly interesting trial was anti- cipated through our columns several days previous to its termination, and the accused must therefore be again arraigned before another tribunal to an- awer the charges alleged against her. There are few cases, perhaps none, that have ever been pre- sented to an American jury, that involved so mueh atrocity ; and few in which the evidence on one side was more positive, while,if truth existed on the other, mysterious doubt still would have lurked in the mind of any truly conscientious juror. The tnal occupied nine days, after which the jurors were kept together for consultation about fifteen hours before they were called into Court, and then, being unable to agree, were supplied with food and detained about two hours longer, and finally dis- charged, without a verdict, they being eleven for conviction and one for acquittal. The juror who adhered to a verdiet of acquittal refused, when the panel was originally called, to be either sworn or affirmed, avowing that his “conscientious scru- ples” prompted him not tosssent. The Court point- ed out the special statute of the State showing that an uffirmation was merely a promise, and therefore did notinvolve any of the conscientious objections urged against taking an oath. After considerable delay, and an intimation from the Court that im- prisonment would follow his refusal to affirm, as matter of contempt, the juror assented to be af- firmed. He was afterwards called as a juror to serve on the trial, and notwithstanding the evidence of his peculiar construction of mind, as had pre- viously been shown to the court, the prosecution made no objections and he was affirmed as a juror to try the cause. On being discharged he stated that his conscientous scruples would not allow him to render a verdict of guilty, and that these scru- plea were based upon the fact that he conceived there was reasonable doubt as to the guilt of the party accused, and ulso that he could not render a verdict of guilty if capital punishment was to fol- low its rendition, A man avowing such “ consci- entious scruples” should never have been placed upon the jury, and the prosecution alone are ac- countable for such oversight. It is rare that the testimony in a case of such importance was more clearly presented toa jury by counsel on both sides, and the business-like manner of Circuit Judge Parxer, who presided in the absence of Judge Kent, tended materially to hasten the progress of the cause, that otherwise might have occupied a month. ‘The chain of tes- tumony,as prepared and presented by District Attoy- ney Cuarx for the prosecution, seemed almost overwhelming and conclusive until the defence pre- sented their theory of the case. The prosecution showed that the accused slept with the deceased on Saturdaytmight, December 23d, and left the house early on the morning of Sunday, and went to her mother’s near by, as was her usual practice. They therefore assumed as their theory that deceased was in all probability murdered on Saturday night by the accused or on Sunday. In opposition to this, the defence show by two positive witnesses, and two donbiful, that deceased was seen at her house on Sunday, and alao that the accused could not have committed the murder on Sunday night as she slept with her sister at her father’s house in the same room with her fatherand mother. The prosecution and defence both concur in the fact that accused left her father’s house on Monday (Christmas) morning for New York, when the pro- secution aver, and sustain the pusition by.two cre- dible witnesses and three doubtful, thatshe pawned the stolen gold watch, gold chain and silver spoons in this city om that morning. The defence deny that the accused is the person, but present no testi- mony to show where she was on that day after she arrived in this city, or where she remained that aight; it being the night that the house of de- ceased was discovered to be on fire and the horrid murders made public. They content themselves with the rather singular fact, that no person saw the accused at the scene of the fire on Monday night, although it is certain, from the finding of the bundle of unblackened clothing in the room after the fire was discovered, that the person who com- mitted the arson must also have been the one who committed the murders. To sustain the theory that the accused committed the arson and then fled, the prosecution shew, by three witnesses, the pre- sence of a woman resembling accused at the Sta- ten Island boat, at Quarantine, at daylight on Tuesday morning after the fire, who alleged she had walked some distance and was much fatigued, and who then came to this city in the boat. The defence present no offset to this point except that of denial of the allegation and lack of clear identi- ty. The theory of prosecution, that the intent of accused in committing the murder was to obtain ‘he possession of the $1000 that had previously been received by the husband of deceased, is an- swered by defence, who introduced the father, mo- ther and sister ot accused, as well as husband of feceased, who testified that accused was aware that the $1000 wes kept in the house of her father, and not in that where deceased was murdered The prosecution then assumed the bold position that from this testimony, including the fact that th: nother, sister and father were among the first at the discovery of the fire, that they were all accee- sories after the fact, and had thas sworn and per- jured themselves to save the accused from convic- ‘ion. . These are the prominent points of this hor. nd and yet mysterious transaction, as presented at this trial, and which, unless sustained by defence, by rank aid positive perjury, would leave much doubt upon a nicely balanced mind as to the posi- tive legal guilt of the accused. Application will no doubt be made to the Supreme Court, at its early sitting, fora change of venue in the case, to another county, as it would be impossible to obtain a jury on the Island from any panel that could be sum- moned. Common Counci.—E.ection or A MaGistrate. —The Board of Aldermen and Assistants meet thie evening, for the purpose of electing a new magis trate, to fill the place of Miln Parker, Esq., whose term has expired—Mr. Drinker, the applicant for the office, and his fitness forthe magisterial chair, having already caused much discussion and excite- ment among the members of the Board, as has been seen in our sketch of the long debate which took place on Wednesday evening last. The mi- nority will doubtless continue their opposition to his appointment. It will be seen, by our repori referred to, that the case of Mr. Drinker was refer- red toa committee, of which Alderman Hasbrouck was chairman. Certain charges had been prefer. r-d—what they amount to we know not—and over forty witnesses were examined. The majority were for reporting to the Board without the evi dence—the minority were in favor of reporting with the evidence; and,the chairman, on being called uyon on Wednesday for the report, claimed further delay, upon which a Jong and warm debate took place between Aldermen Hasbrouck, Gale, Charhck, Emmans, Miller, Cozzens, &c., S&c., which resulted in the decision to discharge the committee, by a vote of 22 to 11. The minority contended that the public were fully entitled to the evidence taken on this inves- gation, and after much personality and excited debate between Aldermen Hasbrouck and Gale, the discussion resulted as above. If there had been anything to warrant the charges against Mr. Drinker—or if there was no foundation for any charges against him—it was due to the public to zive him the benefit of the testimony taken on this investigation. The matter, however, being now taken out of the hands of the committee—and a majority in favor of his nomination—Mr. Drinker will doubtless be elected. The minority are deter- nined, however, to nominate a candidate, and, as we anticipate the debate will be an exciting one, we shall attend to it. LN’ —Ri Lonagie be Commer Aieaet ies Uaiet hate Aux Cayes, in the Island of St. Domin, 4 vee ‘ i. lomingo, in the place of Governmanr Espionage 1x Great Barrain, and Revocvtionary Movenents 1 Trauy.—A very considerable degree of excitement has been pro- duced in England, by a remarkable Italian, named Mazzini, who was banished some time since from his native kingdom, and has been busily engaged in London, in effecting the organization of “Young Italy,” by means of revolutionary clubs in the cities and towns of that classic land: Sir James Graham had, it appears, at the instigation, asis said, ot the Italian Ambassador, who suspected that Mazzini was in communication with his disaffec- ted countrymen at home, opened the letters of the {talian revolutionary leader, after they were de- posited in the London Post Office. This conduct on the part of the Home Secretary had excited a universal burst of indignation; and by none has his conduct been more vehemently denounced than by many of his own party, amongst whom Sir James has long been quite unpopular. The subject has been taken up in the House of Commons, and the conductjof Sir James Graham was characterized as degrading, disgraceful and diz- creditable to the country. Mr. Wallace, a mem- ber of the House, who is well acquainted with the working of the Post Office system, asserted that there wasa regular machinery at the Pest Office for the purpose of opening letters—that there was aroom set apart for the purpose, and that persons employ- ed in the department had been sent abroad to study in the school of Fouche, how to open, fold, and reseal letters in the London Post Office. This certainly gives a singular insight into the operations of the British government, and informs us that it is more closely allied to the despotisms of Austria 01 Russia than many suppose. A letter to the London Times, from that true friend of human liberty, the eccentric and philo- sophical Carlyle, embodies so well the spirit which has been aroused in England, by this expose, and is, besides, written in such a manly, free, and inde- pendent tone, that we give it to our readers :—~ Te tHe Epitor or tHe Totes :— Sia—In your observations in yesterdey’s Times onthe late dis jul effair of Mr. Mazzini’s letters and the Sec- retary of State, you mention that Mr. Mezzini is entire): unknown to you, entirely indifferent to you, and add, very justly, that if he were the most contemptible of man kind, it would not affect your argument on the subject. It may tend to throw frther light on this matter if now certify Fh which Lin some sort feel catled upon to do, that Mr. Mazzini is not unknown to various competen! persens in this Srantys and that he is very far indeed from being contemptible—none farther, or very few of living men, I have the honor to know Mr. Mazzin: for a series of years; and whatever | may think of his practical insight and skill in worldly'afaire, I can with great freedom testify to all men that he, if I have eve: seen one such. is a man of genius and virtue, a mano! aterling vereeity, humanity and nobleness of mind, ont of those rare men, numerable unfortunately but as units in this world, who are worthy to be called martyr-souls who, in silence, piously in their daily life, understand an? practice it ia meant by that. Of Italian democracier and young "s sorrows, of extranvons Austrian Empe rors in Milan, or poor old chimerical Popes in Bologna, | know nothing, and desire to know nothing; but this other thing I de know, and can here declare publicly to bes fact, which fact, all of us-that have occasion to comment on Mr. Mazzini and his effairs may do well to teke along with us, a¢ a thing leading towards new clearness, anc not towards new additional darkness, regarding him and them. Whether the extraneous Austrian Emperor and miser- able old chimera of a Pope shali maintain themsel in Italy, or be obliged to solu San Italy, is not a ques tion in the least vital to Englishmen. But it is a question vital to us that sealed letters in an English Post Ottice be, as we all fancied they were, respected as things sacred : that opening of men’s letters—a practice neur of kin tc Boking men’s pockets, and to other still viler and far fataler forms of scoundrelism—be not resorted to in Eng lend except in cases of the very last extremity. When some new es pd plot may be in the wind, some double high treason, or imminent national wreck not avoidable otherwise, then let us open letters ; not til) then. Toall Austrian Kaisers aud such like, in their time of trouble, let us answer, as our fathers from of old have answered : Not by such means is help here for you. Such allied to picking of pockets and viler forms of scoundrelism, are not permitted in this country fo: our beheof. The right honorable secretary does himsel} jetest such, and even is af/aid to employ them. He dare not—it would be dangerous for him! All British men that might chance to come in view of such a transaction would incline to spurn it, and trample on it, and indig- nantly ask him what he meant by it 7 1 am, sir, your obedient servant, Cuetsea, June. THOMAS CARLYLE. As for Mazzini, himself, he has succeeded in creating and organizing a liberal party, which, we doubt not, is destined to redeem Italy. In Londor he has supported himeelf by his literary labors, and earneda honorable rank amongst the literati o/ the day. Like his countryman, Ugo Foscolo, he has also distinguished himself, not only by his lite rary attainments, but also by his benevolent exer tions to relieve the necessitics, and promote the welfare of his exiled countrymen of the poorer classes. He is, evidently, a man well fitted to lead in the work of his country’s salvation trom the des- potism and miseries of a long age. We have good reason to believe that his patriotic Jabors will, be- fore many years, result in the deliverance of beau teous, but unhappy Italy. State or Ingianp.—The most important intelli- gence brought by the late arrivals of the state eo affairs in Ireland, is that respecting the rumored ministerial measures for the authoritative euppres sion of all the repeal associations, and the enact ment of a law making the agitation, in any form, o! the question of a dissolution of the legislative unior between the two countries, illegal. The only effec’ of any attempt of this kind will be to strengthe: the bands of the- opposition, and accelerate th+ downfall of the Tory administration. A great dea of capital has indeed already been made by th: Whigs out of the imprisonment of O’Connell and his associates. Treland itself continues in a perfectly tranqui state. The refusal of the authorities to admit th multitudinous repeal deputations, with their ad dresses to O’Connell, into the prison, had excited a good deal of discontented muttering. We think it is highly probable that a new trial will be grantec by the House of Lords. The reply of her Majesty to the address of the Repealers, laconic as it is, i: sufficiently cignificant. Onthe 4th inst. the appea was tocome up. The chief ground on which the demand for a new trial will be urged in the Lords, will be the difference in the usages of the Irish Courts from those of England. Lord Lyndhurst’ who is a great stickler for the constitutional laws and usages of the English courts, and person ally entertains any feeling but that of hostility « O'Connell, whatever their public conduct towards each other may be, will not, it is supposed, be likely to oppose the application for a newtrial. After the appeal is heard, a habeas corpus will be issued, on which O'Connell will be brought before the Lords and go at large on his bail, which may or not be enlarged. Great anxiety will be felt until the next arrival, which will probably bring highly interesting intell gence respecting the proceedings on the appeal. Very Late From Braz ‘The fine brig Ener- gy, Capt. Bright, arrived yesterday in a short pas- sage from Rio de Janeiro. We have advices to the 25th of May, for which we are indebted to Capt. B. There is not much news, It was rumored at Rio that the English were going to take part with the Mentevideans. Freight on Coffee was at 80 te 75 cents per bag and very scarce. The frigate Rari tan and corvette Boston were at Rio. Business at Rio on the 25th of May was general ly dull. The market overstocked with flour, and produce becoming scarce Freights, during the month of April, ewing to a scarcity of vessels, were brisk, and at considerably advanced rates, but owing to numerous arrivals and the expecta- tion of many others from the River ; they were becoming dull and declining to former rates. Travian Orgra.—Madame Cintt Damoreav again appears to-night at the Opera Houre, for the last time in ZL’ Italiani in Algeri . Considering the season, the houses have been remarkably good on the previous nights, and on this occasion wr expect a large and brilliant audience. Artot als appears and plays several pieces before the Opera This is sufficient to secure a crowded house. The admirable mode of ventilating this elegant theatre, renders it perfectly comtortable, and the delightfu lounge presents a very agreeable mode of enjoying the intermission. Of the gifted merits of Madame Cinti and the attractive character of the Opera, i is unnecessary to speak. On Wednesday J Barbieri is to be produced. Arrivar or Sypngy Sarra—Pannsyu' vailed in thie city yesterday in consequence of the announcement of the arrival of Sydney Smith, per Great Western. It was generally thought that among the extensive family of Smiths, there could be only one intelligent, witty, clever, and philoso- phic Sydney. Common John, Joe, or Dick, would not have been attended to,—but Sydney settled the business at once—it could be no other than the bona fide Simon Pure of St. Paul’s. The conse- quence was, that other holders of these securities began to look up, while the drab-coated gents of the Key Stone State were looking down ; and that applications yesterday were innu- merable at the Astor House to view the autograph of this celebrated end well known holder of Penn- sylvania bonds, to see if they could judge of the in- terest that might be attached thereto. The differ- ent toadies who endeavor to make a benefit of the arri¢al of individuals of notoriety and talent, and with the hope of bringing themselves into public notice, were in thick attendance. Committees were formed to welcome the great little man of St. Paul’s—there was quite @ press to see who should be firat and endeavor to engage and occupy the most of his time and attention. Public dinners, balls, soirees, to welcome him, were arrcnged ; in short, another edition of the Dickens’ affair, im- proved and enlarged, with notes and references, was bettled upon. The book, with sojourners’ names, was carefully examined, but no Syd- ney appeared thereon; Capt. Hoskens was appealed to, being a fellow-passeager, but that gentleman’s word did not seem to receive that degtee ot cre- dance it is ever worthy of; the waiters, important men in these days, were appealed to, but still noth- ing satistactory was forthcoming—the exact name could not be found; but there was a Smith came over, and to all appearance it will require five or six affidavits of some of the oldest and most re. spectable inhabitants of this country to satisfy cer- tain parties that this isnot the much-desired indi- vidual. Itis truly lamentable that these very worthy and respectable worshippers of the gods they set uj cannot be gratified. This is the secondtime, with- in ashort period, that they have been doomed to disappointment. Edward Lytton Bulwer did not behave well in not coming here to gratify them— to be eat, drank, danced, and sung with, and every other possible species of toadyism be shown to- wards him, for which he would have had ample op- portunities of repaying by ridiculing them, and libeling the country to which they belong. Ling or Steam Suirs Prom New York to Liver- PooL.—We stated last Saturday that Capt Hosken, formerly of the Great Western, was daily expected in this city on business connected with the estab- lishment of a line of steamers to run between thir city and Liverpool. Since then he has arrived here, and as his stay will necessarily be fshort, w« suppose that he will begin work immediately. The organization of a line of ocean steamers, making this city their western starting point, will be of the highest importance to our prosperity, and as the problem, as it was once supposed to be, o! navigating the Atlantic with steam vessels has been satisfactorily solved, we wish to give our views on the subject, and throw outa few hints for the bene- fit of whom they may concern in this matter. There is much yet to be learned. It is well known to those engaged in mercan tile pursuits in this city, that we have received but very little impetus from the enterprise of our capit- aliats. They are a set of men as little given to ad- vance a city to greatness, as mice are to preserve food in a pantry. They prefer to dabble in fancy stocks and water lots to any solid operation. T« all the enterprises started in New York, such as rai! roads, public buildings, packets, and the like, they have merely loaned their names to lure others les: wealthy on, and the moment the value of the stock: rose above par they would withdraw and let the lezs experienced suffer the losses, and on their ow: ruin build up the projects to something substantial This has been the case with the Erie Rail Road the Harlem Rail Road, end a dozen others ot the like kind. These roads have been thus used, and if ever they are completed they wili be by the efforts and money of farmers, mechanics, gro cers, bakers, and butchers, who take more real interest in the posperity of New York, than any other class of citizens—than the Astors Costers, Whitneys, &c. &c. As in rail roads so it has beenin packet ships. When it was contempla- ted in 1818 to start a line of packets to run regular. ly to Liverpool, who were the persons who.stepped forward and had the ships built and sent to sea? Were they the capitalists of this great city? No They were our mechanics. A ship builder took one share, an old shipmaster another, a rigger another, a baker another, a sail maker another, then a caulker, a butcher, &c., subscribed toa share each, and thus was a small line of Liverpoo) packets sent into existence in 1820, and this line has since swelled to fifty or sixty magnificent ships, and made America celebrated far and near for su- perior naval architecture. And what has provec true in rail roads and packet ships has to this day proved true with regard to steam ships. One o1 two of our most enterpzising merchants have in the last few years exerted themselves to establish » line with the assistance of our government, bu' without success, and wholly because these gentle. men looked to the capitalists for aid instead of the’ small merchants and working men. These are facts. Now we hepe in consideration of all this that Captain Hoskens will begin at the right end in the business he hasundertaken. He is a skilful officer and a man of sound judgment, and we trust that he will meet with success in establishing a line of steamers to run to the commercial metropolis of America and have them conducted and managed as our famous packets have been. But let him look to the proper source for aid. If such aline ever be established our mechanics, butchers and bakers, will furnish the means. We may expect nothing trom the codfish aristocracy of New York. God forbid that we should. Recovery oF THE REMAINS oF THE PrRaTE Krop’s Vesset.—An old gentleman has informed a friend of ours, who told us, that near unto the spot where it is supposed the remains of this cele- brated freebooter’s vessel lie, that during the re- volutionary war several gun boats were sunk, and that the remains of the vessel now discovered ic much more likely to be one of the latter than the former. This might be very possible, but that the research made already by pricking and boring, evidences a vessel of much greater extent than any gun boat of ancient or modern times—upwards of 130 feet in length. However, the question is now in a fair way of being solved, and in a very short time it will be ascertained whether or not this ir the much sought for vessel. Nisto’s Garpen.—The excitement created by the announcement that the grand romantic ballet called ‘“ The Revolt of the Harem,” is to be pro- duced to-night is intense. All our “ leading young men”—all our fairest leaders of fashion—all the élite of the beaw monde are on the qui vive, and to. night will prove the commencement of a most bril liant era in the present season at Niblo’s. In thir ballet appear the Mad’lles Desjardins, Pauline, M Martin, and Herr Kerponay; to these are added the petite and graceful Demoiselles Vallee, and some fifty nymphs, a band of houres, an army of Amazon: and a fair troop of Odalisques. Surely this form: attraction sufficient to fill two Gardens such a: Niblo’s. Beacon Covrss, Honoxen.—This day there wil be presented to the public both amusement anc sport. Herr Otto Motty goes through his unrivallec and classical performances, which alone are wor. thy of witnessing. Then, there is a good pacin match to succeed, well worthy the attention of the lovers of such sport. Important from Nauvoo—Death of Joc and Exettement We yesterday received by the wi il the following particulars of the death of Jo¢ Smith the Prophet, and his brother Hiram. They were both shot. There wae a tremendous excitement et the west in consequence of their death A dreadful civil war was expected. Thus ends Mormonism. [From Cincinnati Gazette, July 3.) ; We received the following last evening, by a passenger :— [From St. Louis Evening Gazette, June 29.) ‘ Fruenp Frage.—Enclosed you es a copy of “Extra” issued at Quiney. e left Nauvoo about daylight this morning (Friday 28th). All was quiet. The Mormons heard of the death of the Smiths, ag Gov. Ferd, who was eftcamped a few miles back, had not (as supposed) intercepted the messengers ftom Carthage. At Warsaw, all was excitement. The women and children were all remevedy and an immediate attack was expected from the Mormons. f We met the * Boreas,” just above Quincy, with 300 men armed and equipped tor Warsaw, eager for fight. T sen contui the Quincy Herald, printed this morning, g the particulars of Smith’s death. la haste, yours dc. A. J. Sronz. On board steamboat St. Croix Friday evening, June 28, 1844. (From Quincy Herald, June 28) Deatn or tHe jProruer!—Jox anp H:ram Smich arg DgaD!—The steamboat Boreas, just iv from Warsaw, brings shocking intelligence from the scene of the Mormon war, The following slip from the office of the Warsaw Signal explains the dreadful tragedy. _ 5 “ Joe and Hiram Smith are _dead—shot this af- ternoon. An attack from the Mormons is expected every hour. Will not the surrounding counties rush instantly to our rescue ? “ Wansaw, June 27th, 1844."" ¥ It seems that the circumstances attending the killing of the Mormon Prophet and his brother Hiram are as follows: On yesterday, Governoy Ford left Carthage with about one hundred and twenty soldiers, for the purpose of taking posses: sion of the Nauvoo Legion and their arma. They arrived at Nauvoo about noon, and called for the assembling of the Legion. _ * About 2000 men with arms immediately respond- ed to its call. These tréops were put under com- mand of Col, Singleton ot Brown county, who ac- companied Gov. Ford to Nauvoo. The Governor finding all quiet left Nauvoo about 5 o'clock, P. M., with a company of 60 men_ for the purpese of encamping about seven miles from the city. At about the same time that Governor Ford left Nauvoo, the Prophet and his brother were killed at Carthage, under the following circumstances, as near as we can ascertain them :— _ Joe and Hiram aregboth confined in the debtor's jail, awaiting their trial on « he jail was strongly guarded by soldiers and anti-Mlormons, who had been placed there by the Governor. A Mormon attempted to rush ‘by the guard for the purpose of forcing his way into the. jail. He was opposed by the guard, and fired a pistol at one of the guard, giving him a slight wound. A general confusion ensued in the crowd around the jail. Joe and ‘his Mormon fellow prisoners is seems had provided themselves with pistols, and commenced firing upon the guard within. He then attempted to escape from the window, when wu hundred balls entered his body, and he fell a life: less corpse. C His brother Hiram shared the same fate. Rich ards, a leading Mormon, was badly wounded. There our intelligence ends—what took place after this. God only knows. Mormons imme- diately left for Nauvoo to carry the news of the death of the Prophet. It 1s feared that the Mormons, at Nauvoo will be so exasperated a= to exterminate the Governor and his small force. The Boreas brought down most of the women und children from Warsaw. Itis feared their town is in ashes before this. : Our citizens were aroused this morning by the Finging of bellsand a call to arms. Our three in- dependent companies are already in marching or der. Maj. Flood has ordered out the militia of this regiment, and the steamer Boreasis waiting to con vey them to the scene of action. r ‘There isno knowing where this dreadful affair will end. Many have expressed fears that our city is ia danger, because most of the Warsaw fa milies have taken retuge here—but we believe there 1s no danger; we are too far from the scene of action. ‘ Messengers have just left for Hannibal, and the towns below, for the purpose of arousing the Mis- sourians. The excitement in our city is intense, and the anxiety to hear the fate of Guv. Ford and his men is very great Mr, Vanpgnuorr.—This gentleman called upon us yesterday to say, in contradiction to a state- ment which appeared in our paper relative to his reception at Boston, that he had not been in that city for upwards of thirteen months, and that his reception in other parts had been every way eatie- factory. We copied the paragraph from one of the Boston papers which we thought was good awthority. Excursion THroven THE Suave Se Le W. Featherstonhaugh, F. R. S.
