Several of the Native American party, whilst in the church, (St. Philip de Neri) organized a meet- ing, und appointed a committee of about 100 men to protect the church and its furniture, and, we be- lieve, they rendered essential service in theirefiorts to save it. It would, most probably, have been fired had it not been tor the exertions of this Committee. The minute the crowd had entered the church the news was brought up to the head quarters, and agreeably to previous arrangements, the alarm was + announced by eight distinctive taps upon the State House bell, ‘The military then, as soon as they could get ready, marched totheground. Onecom- pany from Germantown, and two other companies from the country, were ordered out and marched to the spot neaded by a band of music. We may here state that the Markle Kifle Com- pany took possession on Saturday night about half- past ten o’clock of the Moyamensing Catholic Church, and retained it uatil half past eight yester- day morning, when all was quiet, and remained "0 {hromenOR the entire day in that vicintty.

Affairs In Philadelphia—The Morals of Penn= sylvania and Ilinols, Again the flames of eivil discord have broken out with added fury in Philadelphia, and fresh blood bedews her streets. We give on our first page the fullest possible intelligence of these sad doings, together with the opinions of the prees of all parties. It has seldom been the duty of any public journalist to present to the world such a me- lancholy demonstration of the disastrous effects of popular passion, raging in a community which does not possess the moral strength to crush a mob. The riots in Illinois and the riots in Philadelphia present a remarkable identity, and enforce the same lessons of warning and instruction. Both have originated in religious intolerance, stimulated and excited into ungoveraable violence by unprin- cipled demagogues on all sides. The conduct of Joe Smith in Ilinois, and that of Bishop Hughes in New York, have had much in common. The Mormon Prophet, on the faith of a pretended reve- lation from heaven, laid claim to infallibility of judgment and opinion, and organized his ignorant followers into a firmly united band of religious bi gots, with which he assumed to control the politi- cal action of all others. Bishop Hughes, with equal intolerance of the opinions of others, endeavored organize his church into a distinct political element, with which he threatened to command and secure compliance with his demands. In both casesa for- midable opposition was organized ; and feelings o! the bitterest religious animosity being infused into these opposing elements, the result has been the scenes of violence and bloodshed which have startled and shocked the whole land. There are always to be found in society, men destitute of principle, and of everything which makes good citizens, who eagerly seize upon the opportunities for violence, and the gratification of their own vile passions, presented at such a crisis as that produced by the Mormon prophet in Illinois, and the misguided Catholic prelate in New York. Like the bands ol, ruffiane. who, followed in the train of the Crusaders, or the wretches who lived on blood during the sanguinary era of the French Re. volution, these reckless men, who have nothing to lose, rush with unconcealed joy into the arena, and engage with frenzied eagerness in the always easy work of inflaming the passions of the mob, and overturning the barriers of peace and order Thusit has been at Nauvoo and Warsaw—at Ken- sington and Southwark. #And most unfortunately, for the interests of society, for humanity, for the character of our country, neither in Illinois nor in Philadelphia, has the moral, conservative power of the community existed in that omnipotence which is absolutely necessary for the maintenance of order and the preservation of the supremacy of the law. Religious bigotry and intolerance, and the desolating agency of bad men have had the field almost entirely to themselves. And this leads us to the consideration of very important facts. It would, indeed, appear that so ciety in Philadelphia isin a state of complete dis- organization. There is no moral firmness—no power—no strength—no influential and controlling authority in the people. There are, it would ap- pear, no principles of cohesion to keep them to- gether asa civilized community. This entire des- titution of moral power appears to have charac- terized the entire management of public affairs in Pennsylvania for years past. We see this in the dishonor of the State. That State—rich and fer- tile and dishonest—is weighed down with infamy. The curse of State immerality is upon it, and now its chiet city, utterly paralyzed, is prostrate be- jneath a mob. Asin Pennsylvania, so, alas! it is In 1Mino1s. “Lhere, too, che same public want of integrity—the same dishonesty—the same destitu- tion of moral principle and moral pewer are dis- covered. Never in New York could a fawless mob have so triumphed over the law. Here, thank Heaven, the conservative forces of society hold sway.— Here, too, we feel special gratification in declar- ing, the Catholie population have been educated into obedience to the law. Their own religious guatdians, such as Dr. Powers, who have labored among them for years, have taught them to be good citizens, and their lessons of loyalty and rev- erence for the institutions of this lund, have been the antidote to the poisonous teachings of Bishop Hughes. The Catholics of New York, as a body, are as much distinguished for all that entitles man to American citizenship, as any other class’in the community. They are peaceful, orderly, industri- ous and loyal. Had they not been so, the injudi- cious and mischievous conduct of Bishop Hughes would have been more dangerous. We have not space just now for much additional remark on this mest *ainful subject. We cannot close, however, without condemning in the strongest manner the condret of the Catholic | priest, who, by giving publicity to an anonymous note, applied the match to this fresh conflagration. | His prudence and sagacity appear very much on a par with-those of Bishop Hughes. How these things may end in Philadelphia we know not. | It is exceedingly painful to contemplate the future. Formipas.e Tyter Movement.—A great deal of effort is Jat present in progress by some of the prominent Tyler men in this city, Redwood Fish- er, George D. Strong, and Colonel Graham, and others, for the purpose of starting a new Tyler pa- per, to be conducted with all the energy, patriot- ism, intelligence, and high character, of which the names of the distinguished men just mentioned, afford such strong, unexceptionable, and encourag- ing guarantee. The first move was to buy up the | Wallstreet Reporter,” which has for some time | been very warm in the advocacy of John Tyler's | claims, butthe proprietor of that concern, although entertaining the most profound respect for the firm ot Fisher & Co., chose to work on his own hook, and go to the death for the Captain, single-handed and alone, with Curtius-like devotion. Then it was proposed to buy the ‘‘ Aurora,” but certain ob- stacles being in the way there, the next movement was to forma coalition with Chevalier Wikoff. This was eagerly jumped at by all parties, the | identity in many respects of the position of the Chevalier with that of the Captain, presenting a strong ground of coalition, which would also en- sure the efficient aid of the ‘ waiters of Long’s Hotel.” Thus stood this important business yes- terday. We refer, however, for the latest intelli- gence, to our bulletin in another column. Canpipatss For Governor.—According to all appearances the Whigs will nominate Mr. Fillmore as their candidate for Governor, and we see indi- cations tolerably significant, that the Democrats will nominate Silas Wright as their candidate for the same distinguished office. We rejoice in these indications, for both the men whom we have named, are eminently fitted for the office. Purer, or better men than they, cannot be found, and each is a recognized and sound representative o! the principles of his party. Silas Wright is a man of great talent, moderation, patriotism, and practi- cal good sense. Mr. Fillmore, although not so popularly known, is his equal in talent and reputa- tion, and would make an equally good Governor— on Whig principles. _— TALIAN Oprra.—There was a very elegant house here last night, but not so crowded as we de- sired to see, and as the character ef the entertain- ment deserved. Madame Cinti sang with sur. passing sweetness, and the other parts were sus- tained in better style than on the previous nights. We trust to see a splendid and crowded house on Wednesday night, when Madame Cinti bids us farewell mee Tue New Coutacton—Larsst Accounts rzom tux Trige Camr.—Governor Van Ness, our new and popular Collector, took his seat yesterday in the great chair. In calling at his office to congra- tulate him on his accession to the office, the door- keeper poisted you to the following :— NOTICE Is hereby given, that no applications for offiees in the Custom House will be led to by the Collector du. nae present week. ll applications of that kind must be made in writing, and may be left at the private office of Mr. Van Ness, at No. 49 William street, where he will, next week, afford an opportunity for personal interviews to such as may desire it. Jur 8, 1844, This looks like business, The fact is, Governor Van Ness isa business man, and thoroughly ac- quainted, not only with the duties of the office, but with all the heterogenious and discordant cliques of ofice beggars, who ere now thronging, lying, and intriguing about him. Never was seen so much intriguing in Wall street as there was yes- terday, and will be all through this week. All manner of deceptions will be pract'sed ; all man ner of fraud and chicanery got up to deceive both the Collector and every body else. The whole street, and particularly in the neighborhood of the Custem House, actually smells of brimstone. There were new issues of lies, which perfectly astonished his Satanic majesty himself. Mr. Curtis and Governor Van Nese were seen in friendly téte-a-téte—Mr. Curtis evidently desiring te render every explanation and facility which were necessary, in a manner honorable to himself, and courteous to his successor. Among the first acts of the new incumbent, were the appointments of Cornelius S. Bogardus, As- sistant Collector, in the place of Isaac S. Hone ; and Charles W. Van Ness, (nephew of the Go- vernor,) Cashier, in the place of George C. Sat- terlee. There are some most curious and extraordinary movements on the tapis, which we shall be prepar- ed to show up in a few days. It is enough to say now, that the great Tyler party, per se is split into two parts—the one of which is in favor of the Union, the amalgamation, the nuptials of Polk and Tyler, while the other is opposed to the said nup- tials, and is in favor of Mr. Tyler’s running for the Presidency at any rate. All Tyler’s friends are now taking sides in these two cliques, according totheir respective interests. Tho Aurora having gone for the nuptials, is to be transferred to other hands. Postmaster Graham, Redmond Fisher, Delazon Smith & Co. go most decidedly the anti-nuptial ticket. Derry and Eddy go the amal gamation. Take it altogether, it is a most curious, funny, extraordinary, and philosophical state of things. There are other matters concocting which are not ready yet to be dished up. Delazon Smith’s great Tyler meeting, which was to have been last evening in the Park, is postponed Mr. Smith has been headed off by the movements of the Central State Tyler Committee, who have taken the matter in hand, with the intention of selling out the whole Tyler party to the highest bidder. These are great times, and this is decided- ly the greatest country, and John Tyler’s the great- est government on this side of the Atlantic. Turex o’ctock, P. M. We have just given the intelligence up to this hour, Things look very stormy. A meeting of all the elements is to take place in an hour. A terri- ble squall is anticipated. Four o’crocn, P. M. The elements have met. Eddy and Derry are satisfied. Redwood Fisher is savage. Delazon Smith is shouting and yelling fearfully. Graham is as smiling as usual, and agrees with everybody. It is very doubtful whether Mr. Tyler will be run for the Presidency, 1s the amalgamation party are carrying it with astronghand. Intense excitement. Five g’ctock, P. M. Gin slings have been ordered fr the company Terrific excitement. The probability new is that the President will he rn again. Colonel Graham is attempting to sing. The result exceedingly doubtful. Srx o’crock, P. M. The excitement continues unabated. The amal- gamation party have regained the ascendency, anc it is exceedingly unlikely that the Captain will run again. Sgven o’ciock, P. M. Another change. The Captain is certain to be Tun again. The scene is rather less stormy Brandy smashers are ordered. Smt Latsr—Most Important. Eicut o’ciock, P. M. Ascene of unexampled confusion. It is impos- sible that the Captain can be run. His resignation is certain. Latgst Accounte—Hiouty Important. Ning o’ciock, P.M, Two shillings worth of cigars are ordered. Col, Graham has announced that he thinks it is near supper time. Stitt Later. Haur-past Ning 0’cioox, P. M. A great revolution. Mr. Tyler will be run as 6 candidate for the Presidency. This is finally set: tled. Tern o'ctock, P. M. Brandy smashers are ordered. Another scene o intense excitement. It is now irrevocably deter- mined that Mr. Tyler cannot be run, and the State Central Committee officially give permission to any body to get as much of the spoils as they can till the 4th of March next. More brandy smashers are ordered. Very Important. Exeven o’ciock, P. M. Mr. Tyler does not run for the Presidency. His friends are decidedly ot opinion that it is “‘no go.” The Committee talk of adjourning. Latest INTELLIGENCE. Mivnient. All is again confusion. Terrible excitement! The result it is altogether impossible to foresee, and John Tyler’s position is precisely what it was at three o’clock. Heaura or tux Crty.—New York has always been pre-eminent amongst the cities‘of thi: conti- nent for its healthy location, and freedom from epidemic disease. This season it is remarkably healthy. The physicians enjoy a perfect vacation, and it is very seldom indeed that the ‘ doctor’s wagon” is seen in our streets. The location of this city is peculiarly favorable for its salubrity. Built on a dry and elevated soil, and washed by two noble rivers, with the health- tul breezes of the ocean sweeping over it, diaper- sing all noxious effluvia, and with an equable and salubrious climate, New York is, so far as the all- important subject of health is concerned, by far the most preferable place of residence on this continent. The only thing which mili- tates against the public health here, is the filthy condition in which the streets have been generally kept. When the city was but scan- tily supplied with water, there was some shadow of excuse for this neglect on the part ot the author- ites, but now it is intolerable, All the gutters should at this season be thoroughly washed every ht. The abominable practice, so universally alent, of throwing all sorts of garbage and re- fuse trom the kitchens into the streets, renders this nightly washing absolutely indispensable. The rapid decomposition of this offal and vegetable matter, very speedily generates the most noxious gasses, and we would earnestly impress on the Corporation the duty of having the streets tho- roughly and regularly washed. v Avnotuer Mustoat, Wonpar.—Meyer, the cele- brated pianist, is on his way to this county. He is on the piano what Ole Bull is on the violin, and is destined to create a wonderful sensation here. Listz is not coming. He has unfortunately been laboring under severe indispomtion, which ha‘ obliged him to give up the idea of visiting us thie Tue Season aT Sanatoca.—They appear to be H in the. full tide of enjoyment at Saratoga... The | cod-fish aystocracy, and the sixpenny aristocracy, | large numbers, and the game at the “ Lake House,” | andthe scandal at the “ United States,” are equally | high seasoned, and enjoyed with equal gout. Ole Bull has arrived at the Springs, and will | spend a few days in that delightful village of foun- tains, mosquitoes, sand and gin-slings, previous to his tour in Canada. We notice also the arrival of a number of the Smiths, Thompsons, and Jack- sons, of New York, Boston, and Baltimore. The United States’ Hotel, Congress Hall, and Union Hall, appear to bag the game in tulerably fair pro- portions, and at the minor houses it would seem from the list of arrivals, they are sleeping three in abed, and that the work of “ colonization” is pros- pering in the hay lofts and other distant territories. The most amaing topic ef discussion and ex- citement at the Springs, just now, is the quarrel between the highly respectable and important per- sonages who publish things called newspapers in that village of bubbling celebrity.’ The relative value of the pretensions of these gentlemen to the exclusive right and title of levying black mail in the hotels, is the subject of the controversy, which is conducted ina manner extremely characteristic of: the worthy combatants, andis, of course, most excruciatingly funny. Gin slings and brandy cock- are the subject of the fight, and the articles smell of gin slings and brandy cocktails all over. ‘The right to levy on Mr. Munger, of Congress Hall, is the especial point at issue just now, and if his master-spirit, Reynolds, late of this city, be the dispenser of the gin slings and brandy cocktails, they are certainly worth fighting about by such su- perlative judges of the article as the worthies of the Suratoga press. In the meantime, whilst this most laughe- ble of all laughable newspaper controversies is raging, the usual entertainments of the “Springs” are kept up, as the Chevalier Wikoff said he kept up his quarrel with the adorable Fan- ny, “ with at vigor.” The fountains bub. ble up as usual, cool and refreshing, in the morning, and the waters are drank as usual by the gallon, by pale-faced maidens, and stout old gen tlemen, with noses, like the Philadelphia mob, threatening a conflagration. Loafers tipple at the bar, and Jadies perspire in the third and fourth stories all the forenoon, just asin the years that are gone. Character is chopped up at dinner—scandal poured out with the tea—and hearts lost and wen in the quiet moonlight, as of old. Everybody is happy of course. The villagers lift up their eyes and behold the fields already ripe for the sickle, and they are very busy preparing for the harvest. Pork by the barrel, and codfish by the pound, are offered at Bushnell’s. Root and Martin affection. ately exhort the visiters—‘‘ don’t die of starvation” and offer them hallibut at six cents a pound. Fish has any quantity of the ‘ Siberian Cerate, or uni- versal family salve,” which cures everything but + bad temper, and Huling offers pills which will cleanse anything but the tongue of Mr. McConnell. Thus goes it at gay, bustling, lively, bubbling, sultry Saratoga. Here meet the grave and the gay —the saint and the sinner—the thoughtful and the reckless—the man and the animal—vanity, preten- sion, profligacy, sobriety, sense, wisdom and folly, mix and mirngle—and around the sparkling foun- tains of health and purity, sweeps, morning, noon and night, in dark and solema contrast, the turbid tide of the life of this world! CeLgsRaTions oF THE Fourtu.—This day it ap- pears by all accounts was honored everywhere with high spirit and more than common enthusiasm. In Richmond, the military parade was the fines: that had ever been seen there. The Virginia and Norfolk Guards visited that place ; splendid dinner: were given, medals presented, and an oration by T. C. Reynolds. In Rochester, the day was characterized by the utmost regularity—the festivities were carried on on temperance principles, which accounts for the great absence of all that could in the least mar the peace and pleasure of the celebration. ~ The Philadelphia celebration was on a scale of great magnitude. Five or six columns of some of the newspapers are taken up with the accounts of displays, cavalcades, devices, fireworks, and all that. It is, indeed, wonderful that the day passed over, in that excitable place, without bloodshed ; and it was truly honorable to the day to forget their quarrels and get rid of the bad feeling. With the exception of a couple of fires, which were soon extinguished, the proceedings in Buffalo were not lesafbrilliant. The Germans had intended to have a procession of their own, but at the sug- gestion of friends they gave it up, and joined with the mass, wisely concluding that such distinctions were not safe in Buffalo more tn in Philadelphia. There were numerous excursions on the lake,which were largely attendcd. A chowder party wes given, at which a collection cf 300 dollars was made in aid of the Orphan Asylum. The Ladies of the Anti-Slavery Society opened a fair for two days; the receipts amounted to 60 dollars a day; and lastly, the repealers held a meeting, at which Tesolutions were passed, from which the sense of the assembly could be collected—but no money. On the evening, fireworks of great power and bril- lianey lent their aid, and several other revelries, too numerous to mention, were in requisition. There were several accidents; but none of a serious nature, except the case of a man who had his atm severed from his body, by the accidental discharge of a cannon. The weather at Charleston at first seemed threatening, but it afterwards became propitious for the rejoicings of the day. The military were under the command of General Cruikshank, and made a most imposing appearance, The patriotic societies and fire companies turned out—a temper- ance meeting was held in the evening at the New Theatre, and @ procession of the Sunday school children formed a most pleasing feature on the festive occ asion From every quarter the accounts are extremely gratifying. More patriotism was never exhibited, and what 1s scarcely less pleasing, a marked dimi- nution of inebriety, and excess of all kinds, was observable, and as a natural consequence, fewer casualties took place than on any similar occasion, This is as it should be—this is the true way to honor the memories of the glorious‘dead—to con- secrate the associations of the olden time to temperance, soberness of thought, and vigor in action. This becomes a great republic far better than an exuberance of hilarity, which, although originating in high impulses and the best of mo- tives, not unfrequently assumes a character of licen- tiousness, not only disgraceful but dangerous, Tue Mexican Steamer GuapaLovrr.—A great crowd of people were present yesterday morning at the foot of Pike street to’ witness the raising of the Guadaloupe into the Sectional Dry Dock. The operation was commenced about half past ten, and finished easily in two hours. The machinery of the dock operated to perfection, and the war steamer now sits high and dry in the dock, hke a bird upon a branch. The bottom of the vessel was a sight to look at, and a very curious one, too; so covered with bar- nacles, clams, and all manner of shell fish, worms, and sea weed, ever named or thought of ona smallgecale.

Mxxtoan Oyster Trape.—When the Mexican steamer Guadaloupe was taken into dock yester- day, her bottom was found to be covered with oys- ters, many of which were as large as any ever sold in Boston. #porting Intelligence. Bgacon Coursz, Hoxoxen, Jung 8, 1844.— In addition to the usual sperts on this course, the gieat equestrian Herr Otto Motty, displayed his wonderful feats, and to those who have not wit- nessed them, we can only say that they are such as not every day present themselves before our no- tice. A few days since we gave the particulars of them, therefore, on this occasion, we need not re- peat it, only to say that if any thing he excelled his previous performances. On this occasion, in his first start, riding on two nakedj horses, when near the bottom of the course’ he fell, and there was some delay in returning to start again. In the meanwhile there was a dispute among the betters, who had wagered that he would not ride round on the two horses in two minutes, ten seconds, and they claimed their money in consequence of his accident; but the more honorable conteaded there was no limit to the start, and that if the rider could do it within reasonable time, he ought to be allowed as many starts asin other trotting match- es or racing. ‘This was acknowledged by the most respectable as only reasonable, and it was only the quibblers that refused to consent, and we are happy to say they were but few in number, and not the most respectable of those who attended this course. Otto in a short time afterwards was pre- pared to start again, and it was even against him performing the distance on the two horses in two minutes 10 seconds ; however,he went forth in most gallant style, but-near the bottom again his nags were inclined to run away with him, but with some little struggle they were restrained, and he went round in tne most beautiful style, in about 2 min- ntes8 seconds, amid considerable applause. The dider then went through his other wonderful per- formances with like eclat. _ , After this there was a pacing match for $500 be- tween Mr. Green’sm. Fanny Green, \Whelan—white jacket and black horse John C. Calhoun, J. Whelpley—white The pacing Jacket and black cap. i Both animals appeared in first rate trim, with the exception of the horse being in boots, but it booted little as regarded the betting ; it was at first 10 to 8 on him with numerous takers; it was afterwards reduced to seven, and eventually settled at 10 to6 on him, at which figure considerable business was done, nothing better having to be had. The bet- ting was most spirited, and considerable sums must have changed hands. i peetone the second or third attempt, they went forth the mare on the inside with the horse in close attendance. When near the bottom the latter broke, and it was sometime before he was: got in again, and although he srugpied hard, it looked very like a distance for him, but in going round he somewhat recovered and came in about 12 or 15 lengths behind, Fanny winning the heat in 2 min- utes 34seconds. Notwithstanding the failures of the previous heat, the horee was still the favorite even now at one hundred to _fitty, on the next heat, which was taken. They went forth much as before, and near the bottom a similar mis- fortune befel the horse, but he was not so long in recovering, but all up the back stretch the mare had all herown way, taking it easy, the horse laboring hard in the meanwhile to ‘recover lost ground, which he did so towards and round the top, At the distance a beautiful struggle took place—the whip was bountifully supplied to John C, Calhoun, and he answered better than ever a nigger done yet, but it was not effectual. He was only about a length behind at the judges’ chair. The heat was completed in 2 minutes $1 seconds, Fanny Green winning the match. Ourrages 1n Canapa.—The Montreal Herald of Thursday contains accounts of no less than three outrages. One was committed on Sunday, June 16, near the Beauharnois canal, where an Irish laborer, Pp Dalton, fired a musket at another, John Cowley, the shets taking effect, some in the right hand and some in.the abdomen. Dalton was reized, but made his escape. On Friday, June tat, a terrible attack was made upon Robert Anderson, by « dozen laborers at the T'rent. near Bellville, Cause, the old animosity between ribband-men and orangemen. Anderson’s recovery was almost beyond hope. Three of the assailants were arrested, In Montreal itself, or rather in one of the suburbs, on Saturday eveniny of Inst week, a party of gentlemen were ferociously attacked by a much larger party of ruffians, without provocation, and cruelly maltreated. A pelice men aw the attack hut would not interfore because it ‘ook place beyond the limits of his beat. At Lachine, a few days since criminal assault was made upon a young girl, in ré which she received a blow on the head, given with ie, and inflicting « wound which caused her death. Puerto Cabello, Venezuela. {Correspondence of the Herald.) Pugeto CaneiLo, VEeneZveELa June 2ist, 15-44. i Matters and Things in General. You will be delighted to learn that Porto Cabello yet stands in its old and solid position; and al- though the walls erected by the Spaniards, during their domination, begin to tumble down gradually and quietly, without interruption or interference en the part of government, we entertain no particelar dread or anxiety in regard to the firmness of the land upon which we tread, unless an earthquake should disturb our sober thoughts at some future period. With inexpressible regret and sorrow do we find ourselves obliged to inform you of the present ex- tremely unhealthy condition of this place, eepe- cially among the natives The late continued and sed | heavy rains undoubtedly tended greatly to bringon a most fatal and destructive fever, even more to be feared than the small pox, which has abated, and disappeared, with the exception of afew casesonly. A larger number of deaths have occurred within the last six months than probably for years previous to the breaking out of the small pox in December. In reference to commercial transactions, we have nothing of conaequence to communicate eoaey Coffee and hides come into market very freely since the rains subsided. Coffee sells at 7 a 74, ac- cording to quality, and in no great request.— Hides have been for a few days past in active de- mand for the United States, and were sold as eh as 9c Macoquina;$we presume, however, that the price will be down in a day or two—perhaps to 7% a 8c; Indigo, 7f a 8rs per Ib—a dull article at pre- gent. Forrusr Particutars or tuz Dears or Jor Surru.—Yesterday’s mail gave us a few more par- ticulars of the death of Jo¢ and Hiram Smith. It appears that Richards also, was killed. “It appears that Joe and Hiram Smith, and a number of other Mormon leaders were in jail at Carthoge, confined on certain offences against the laws of the State. The Carthage Greys, a volunteer company, were placed as a guard aroundithe jail. About 6 o'clock, on the evening of the 27th, an attempt was made by the Mormons em outside to rescue the prisoners from the custody of rd. A youth about 19 years of age (a Mormon.) b fie fray by shooting the sentinel at the deor, woundin; him severely in the shoulder. Simultaneo' a, th attempt, the Mormons on the inside of the jail, includin, the Smiths, presented pistols through the windows anc f the jail, and Koed upon the guard, wounding, it is supposed, mortally, four of the old citizens ef Hanceck. This attempt on the part of the Mormons, was the signal for certain and sure vengeance. The lives ef Joe Smith and his brother Hiram, and Richards, Joe Smith’s Secre- tary, were quickly taken, and we believe no others. Carthage was filled with Mormons previous tothe affray. ‘The Mormon: ared to be collecting around the jai), tempting the rescue of their leader. learn,’ the Louisville Journal of Tuesday ‘by passengers on the Louis Phillippe, that Joo th, his brother Hiram Smith, and another leading Col Were murdered in prison the other hage, Illinois. Joe had seven or eight bullet . The murderers were unknown. The dead bodies were taken to Nauveo. This is authentic.” Later.—The Cincinnati Gazette of the 4th inst. gives the following vertion of the death of Joe Smith:— ee: The reports about the Mormons, and the death of Joo Smith and his brother. are various and contradictory. A traveller just from the scene, of apparent candor and truth, gives the fellowing account of the death of the rophet:— F Te wes left in prison with Hiram, at Carthege, anda guard of 60 men placed over them by order of Governor Ford. The Guard, except about eight, had left their pe. aition at the jail, when a mob disguised in dress, and painted black in their faces, rushed into the jeil, shot Hi. ram dead, and then killed Joe, No resistance was mado by either. Joe was leaning or sitting upon a window when shot; he fell from it exclaiming, God! My God! and died. After he reached the ground he was. stabbed, apparently by a young man, in the breast, who said, fh Damn ou; take that; you killed my father.” We give this as we receive it without being able to vouch 1or its correctness. We shall probably get at the truth in a day er two. Tue River.—The Vicksburg Constitutionalist of Saturday, the 29tn ult. says:—The work of de- ation, destruction, and ruin continues ; the water 12 rising more than one inch every twenty-four hours at lace.

Fer many days they have been collecting in large numbers on the ridges, near the numerous bayous, where they were enabled to find a little food, those ridges are now generally under water ; and, a gentleman from Richmond, La. (sbout twenty miles west of this city) in- formed us that nearly five hundred cattle could be seen at one view, dead, the water on their last place of refuge being from twelve to twenty-four inches deep! and at the same time assured us that the number of cattle lost would not be less than one hundred and—intall the submerged conntry, we cannot pos: form an idea of the extent of the lous. Many, very many planters who have heretofore escaped, and who imagined themselves above an overflow, new without a single visbie acre, This deluge will have a most serious effect on the value of our river lands, and many of our enterprising planters willnever in trust their labors to the whims and freaks of the mighty waters.” ACCIDENT aT Utica.—We learn by Pomeroy’s Express, that a serious accident occurred at Utica onthe Fourth. One of Judge Bearisley’s sons, a member of the Utica Citix mpl hi blown of bya Fi discharge of a field piece, while firing the even} ing salute.

The Misses Vallee also performed a variety of dances admirably, and drew down enthusiastic plaudits. The audience was most fashionable, and fairly divided the elite with Cinti Damoreau at the opera. We observed more than one of the European Consuls among the audi- tors, and many of the first families and distinguished strangers This ballet will doubtless prove cessful and popular ai fer Niblo and Mitchel to their already well fil rs; and they well deserve the euccess that attends their liberal outlay and splendid management.
