Decline of Millerism—Return to Business and Rea- son— Attempt to Createa Mormon Excitement: - An Orthodox Quaker Wedding—Bribery and Corruption—Curious State of Affairs amongst @ Community of Friends. J. G. Bannerr, Esq. :— In these stirring times of political excitement, no paper is 80 eagerly sought for here as the Her- ald. In addition to its full and ample reports of things political, religious, scientific and financial, its ably written editorials, marked as they are by genius, research and originality, bring conviction to every unprejudiced mind, and evidently reflect, in @ great degree, the condition and tendencies of the mighty Public Thought of the “Imperial City.” Many of those persons in this neighborhood who became infected with that preposterous humbug, Millerism, have, I am happy to say, relinquished all belief in that fanaticism since the 28d of last month, and have returned to theirusual avocations. Among others, Mr. W. B. G—, whose untortunate condi- tion has been previously mentioned, has re-opened his store, und, in co-partnership with a former clerk, resumed his extensive business. I learn that Mr. G. still adheres to a belief in the approaching destruction of the world, but has renounced all faith in the predictions of Father Miller and his ig- Norant coadjutors, and has become a true and de- vout Christian, relying selely upon the Word of God for consolation and spiritual instruction. I have heard of several practical jokes that were played upon the Millerites during the height ef the excite- ment. Among others, the following may not be uninteresting: — " k Upon the memorable night (in the annals of Millerism) of the 22d October, the poor, deluded fanatics in the village of F—, betook themselves to their house-tops, and to their camps in the fields adjacent, and, clothed in their spotless ascension robes, awaited with fear and trembling the awful “coming.” The night was damp, cold and drear. A drizzling rain was fast soaking their garments, (ia a way that only a drizzling rain can soak,) and heirspirits were drooping to the lowest ebb. The of the men, the moans of the women, and of the children, lent a terrible and awful ‘nterest to the scene. The canting exhortations that were uttered with such frantic earnestness, the mourntul cries of “* Amen” from the lips of fra- gile women, and the plaintive lamentations of the children suffering under bodily distress, can be bet- ter imagined than described. Suddenly, ana when the excitement and enthusiasm were attheir pitch, a large and luminous bull of fire, as if by magic, was seen to cut horrible capers amongst the gravee in a neighboring church yard! You may wellima- gine what effect this sudden appetinion had upon the perturbed imaginations of the fanatics. Their shrieks, cries, groans, and lamentations—their dreadful contortions of features, evincing the aw ful state of mind within—the cries of misery and woe of some, the loud hallelujabs ot joy from others—all presented a most agenizing picture to the compassionate beholder Many sank fainting to the ground, and others, with uplifted hands and rigid features, waited the first note from that terri. te Trumpet which would summon the dead from their graves, and the living into the presence of their Maker. Meanwhile, the scene in the grave vard was changing—the immense fire ball having finished its anucs, a new cause of alarm, in-the shape of about a hundred chasers, serpents, fire- wheels, rockets, Roman candles, &c., were all set in motion at one moment. As many of the Mil- lerites had never witnessed any thing of the kind before, and of course were unable to account for it, but through some supernatural agency, they became completely frantic, and remained in that condition until the glorious sun of the next morning burst upon them. The deception was then explained. and many cureed their folly for ever being dupe into the belie! of Millerism. Probably this wiil be a warning lesson to many of them, and in future shey will (ape but litile reliance upon the word of man, but by pursuing a strictly virtuous and Chris tian-like course of life , be ever ready to meet their Creator in garments of spotless purity. Another lite ineident occurred in this village A young man became infected, and relixquished alllabor. He wasliving from * hand to moath,” with what little assistance his father was enabled to allow him. Several remonstrances from hit parent having no effect, the old gentleman’s pa- tience finally became exhausted, and he waited on hisson determined to deny him all aid unless he endeavored to do something for himself. Theson was inflexible in his belief, and said as the end of all things would take place ina few days, he should work no more. ‘* And suppose the end of the world don’t take place on the twenty-third,” said the father, ‘what will you do then?” *t Oh,” exclaimed the son, ‘‘ we must trust in God—our Heavenly Father will assist us.” ‘* Faith,” said the old man, ‘ you may well say that, you lazy tascal, for iv’s myself that you expect will be your Heavenly Father, and no one else.” He went to work next day. - F To fill the hiatus created by the lull in the Mil- lerite fureur, we lately had a disciple of the defunct Joe Smith amongst us, ’ycelpt John Horn, formerly of the city of Nauvoo. He endeavored to create an excitement in favor of that iniquitous twin-sis- ter of Millerism—Mormoniem. He took the ground recently divulged by Mistress Emma Smith, as being the ultimate object of the prophet Joe, aamely, the return of the Jews to the Holy Land; and although his auditors may not have been quite go intelligent as those who listened to the lecture of Major Noah in New York, ona similar subject, { doubt whether he made more converts than dia the redoubtable Major. In good truth, I believe the people are beginning to open their to the humbug and deception by which they are so fre- quently and so successfully duped, and in this re- gion at least, I believe they will be on the alert, not only to detect, but also to punish the ignorant blockheads who may in future endeayor to prac- tice upon their credulity. : A marriage, after the Orthodox Quaker fashion, took place in Fallsington last week, between Wm ‘——, of Wilmington, Del., and Rachel M—, ot this meeting. There is something so simple, 90 pure, so unostentatious, and yet go impressive, in a genuine Quaker wedding, that it never fails to strike the stranger with unutterable feelings of pleasure and delight. The modest and downcast look of the fair bride, dreesed in the plain and sim- ple habiliments of the sect, present a remarkable contrast with the usual behaviour and appearance of the city belle upon similar occasions. In the present instance, love and tenderness were to be observed in every movement. of the happy couple, and we wish them every happiness for the future, which their youth and beauty deserve. “ Love is the golden chain that binds ‘The happy minds above, And he’s an heir ef Heaven who finds His bosom swell with love.” Public marriages in the Hicksite meetings now seldom, it ever, take place. The ceremony nerally performed in private families. Tunis is one of the many changes made by thi A former. correspondent alludes to some nef: rious political manceuyres to increase the whi vote in a certain township in this county. I pre- sume he refers to the township of Falls, the poll being held in a little village called Tyburn. Al- though a political friend of the party reflected upon, | cannot withhold my asseat from your corres- pondent’s strictures. The scene presented a start- ling evidence of the disgraceful and demoralizing inflaence which a few inconsiderate politicians may exert over the peace, quietness, and sobriety of aneighborhood. Here, in the very centre of sober Quaker community, upon the consecrated 4rounds of the “ Manor” of William Penn, we see the heartless partizan waging unprincipled war tare agajnet the pure and true principles handed down by that great aud good man. | woald sooner suffer the most ignominious political dereat than see the party triumph through such vile and discre- ditable means—means unworthy the civilization and intelligence of this enlightened age, and ot this great republic.

If any person who has the convenience or the in- clination will look at a map of the county of Sur- rey, it will be seen that on the right hand corner, at the top, there is the mark of London. Proceed to the lett hand, up the river Thames, and come round by the border of Berkshire ; then down the border of Hampshire until the point is gained where the one county is dovetailed into the other, and there will be found in the Surrey dovetail the mark of a town called Farnham. That Farnham ig the birth and burial place of the late William Cobbett, who said that, rather than see the work- ing people of England reduced to live upon pota- toes, he would see them all hanged, and be hanged with them, and would be satisfied to have written upon his grave, ‘Here lie the remains of William Cobbett, whe was hanged because he would not hold his tongue without complaining, while his la- boring countrymen were reduced to live upon po- tatoes.” I lateiy paid a visit to Farnham and its neighborhood ; to the farm which Cobbett occu- pied at his death, to the house where he was born, and the grave where he is buried; and believin: tha! many readers of this paper would have wil- lingly shared in such a journey. had all cireum- stances permitted, I shall endeavor to take them with me, by briefly describing to them how | went and what [ saw. Oa a lovely morning, the sun so bright that the fog which at first showed itself durst show iteelf no more, I was seated on a stage coach, and bound- ing ata sound rate out of London over Putney- heath. We had just taken up the last of the pas- sengers and the luggage, and the coachman said he hoped there were ro more people waiting with lug- gage to be taken up, for he had no more room, and he was,behind time. So away we went, compe- ting with the railway, which has not swallowed up all the traffic down through Surry’and Hampshire. ‘We had sometimes a heathy common, some- times a mansion and a park, occasionally a village and very frequently the enclosed fields of a farm, and the furmery itself, on each side of us. We rat- tled over the heathy downs, through the lofty woods, and athwart the grassy meadows. We saw the churchesand the beershops,had a glimpse now andgthen of a policeman sauntering along, saw oc- casionally a boy wih six or eight or ten or twelve pige, which were eating the acorns that fellfrom the branches of the oaks that overhung the road, he at the same time shaking such branches with a long rod to force them to drop their fruit to his hogw; all such things we saw, and many more. We were in due time in the town of Guildford, thirty miles from London, and were dragging— oh! such dragging—to keep the coach from taking a leap to the bottom! down that most singular of streets, before we could see what a very curious old town, Guildford. ig, Surely there is no other town in Engiand nor in Scotland that has such a street. Berwick-on-Tweed has a street that very oearly stands on the crown of its head, but acts of Parliament do not. allow Berwick to belong tu either England or Scotland. Neither is the Berwick thoroughfare so long as that of Guild- ford. It stands as if it leaned against the hillside, oras Tom Scott did when he stood up against the wall on the crown of his head, his master, Quilp, being from home. But Guildford thoroughfare 18 such a long Tom Scott standing with its head on the ground and its feet. leaning against the height above, that a stranger is constrained to say he never saw any thing like it, of town kind, before. Everybody and everything answerable for the safety of passengers is used to it, however; and the draga allowed us to come down safely enough. But where to go seemed the next puzzle. There wasa river in the deep valley, the river Wey, and there seemed, to be no room up nor down by its banks for coaches. But, by some quirk to the right and again to the left, our coachman managed to get his horses’ heads turned up a road that might well make us congratulate ourselves on not being coach horses. Yet on they go; and up, up, never halting- On each side the and 1s cultivated, but the soil is whitefaced and ill-looking. If we look behind there is a fine view of Guildtord clinging to its hill side, and looking over to us as if it laughed at ra ther than pitied our poor horses. Below, in the valley, is a railway making, to connect Guildiord with a station upon the South Western seven or eight miles distant. Acroes the country, over two or three more miles of farm-fields, hedgerows, and thickets of forest timber, and beyond that, over two or three miles of open heath, we can see a long earthy-colored line intersecting the heath for several miles, which line, we are told, is the South Western Railway. We are with our faces to the west while thas looking to it; and far tothe north-west, as far as the horizon, we can see some dots of white upon a dark ground, and these dots of white, we are told, are the stands and other erections upon Ascot race course. There is a twinkle in the eyes of some of our fellow-passengers, who have travelled this road often, who point out those places to us, and who agree that the view westward and round to the north is broad and fine. They seem to indicate that something is coming. Whatcanit be? The railway goes almost in the same direction that we go, and keeps at that respectful distance ; and they tell us that the country through which it goes con- tinues to be the same brown heath which we now gee it; what is it, then, that we are to see? We have been kept with our ba turned to the west for some length of time looking to the right of the coach ; let us wriggle ourselves round, and look to the south and the east; for or we must now be to the top of that whity-brown hill which stretched up to our left awhile ago. Great heavens! what sight, what scene, what enchantment is that? A new world—a fairy land— tiee down below us. What is there elsewhere on the earth to compare it tot We are on a high nar- row ridge. Our road is meoee summit of this ridge, along its very back bone; and there, on either side, we might almost le: down into those woody countries which lie below. This narrow hill, so.long, so thin, so bare-sided, is seven or eight miles in length. We might fancy it some enormous reptile ; if so, its huge head has been cut off, and Guildford has been disgorged. We got up somewhere about the shoulders ; and now we are travelling at the rate of ten miles an hour, until we shall get off at the tail, which tail ends imperceptibly in that low country between our vision and the smoke which issues from a hollow. That smoke comes out of the chimneys of Farn- ham, and Farnham is lying in that richly.wooded valley, out of which this vast hill seems to have crept before its head was cut off, and it could go no farther. : But betore we descend Ly donee tail let us look wy on that great twenty miles broad stretch of wo: country. It is all below us, but it is nota level. ft isa succession of hills and valleys of several sizes and many shapes. Ifwe could imagine a garden twenty miles in breadth, all turned up by the snout of some monster which would do to twenty mies of country what a sow would do to abed of onions, then we may have some idea of the shapeleseness and brokenness of (nis mass of fantastic little hiils below us. ' . Descending by the tail, I found myself, in the course ot three or four miles, forty-one miles from in the town of Farmham. It consists ly of one street, froma half to three quar- nile long. It is stretched in a valley, or entle hollow, by the side of 4 stream.— Some green meadows with cows in them separate the main part of the town trom the stream; I am not sure but it ia called a river; if so | beg pardon, a river; it is rated by the meadows trom the main tow: the meadows are somewhat bio- hop grounds. The cultivation of hops is the great staple of this neighborhood ; and a good staple it is. The soil is exceedingly rich, and the hops are said to fetch in the market a price one-third over that obtained for hops grown elsewhere. One grower will sell £10,000 worth of hope this year. Land is very wigh-reated, and much money is paid in wages tor tabor. As much as per ecre has been paid of late for the purchase of prime hop ground ; and an annual rent ot £10 per acre is said to be common The wages ot labor is higher here than in the corn growing districts, The work is all done by the piece ; but the men average 123 a week, besides which their children and the temale relatives work with them. At the present season the chief thing to be seen in connexion with hop-growing is the setting up of the poles upon which they grow sin- gly in summer, in piles tormed by a quadruple al- fiance. Four pillars of poles of fifty or more each meet at top and form @ mutual support, and as they are from twelve to twenty feet long, these piles studded over some miles of country look mogular to a stranger. fair forthe sale of the Farhnam in the second week of October w of the hope was when being packed tnto long bags called **pockets.” This seeme to be a serivus piece of work for the men who pack They must not put less than two hundred weight and & quarter im each; to effect which, the empty bag 18 slung up and kept open by &@ hoop atthe mouth, A man goes in naked, or nearly, With ap iron weight to which is attached a rope.

COBBETT’S GRAVE. Having ascertained at the Bush Hotel, where I took up my quarters, what the various sights in the town and neighborhood were, I walked cut to see some of them. There was the Bishop of Winches- ter’s residence; the castle, standing alott ainong old forest trees on the north-west or nght-hand sive of the town, our backs being towards London; there was Waverley Abbey two miles off, and there was More-park not quite so far; and in More-purk there was Mother Lediam’s Cave, in which Swift wrote some of his works; and there was the house close by in the town where Cobbeit was born. Nothing was said of where he was buried, but I knew he lay in that churchyard; and I had heard in London that there was a tombstone; so, without any questions, I set out to the churchyard. It is rather spacious, is well filled, and has a great num- ber of neat headstenes of various shapes. As there are paths through it, 1 saw several people of whom I satan have inquired for the particular stone I wanted to see, but I preferred reading my way to it. I was, after much reading and several journeys round the church, obliged, however, to inquire, and a person led me to it, almost close to the front door ot the church. it isa flat stone, seven or eight feet long, and about three wide, laid upon some coarse brick-work, which raiaes it about 20 inches high. It occupies a triangular point of ground at the junction ef two paths, and is most con- veniently situated for aseat. And what between being used for a seat by the lazy and the tired, and as a platform for the boys to leap on to, and off trom, it being a soft stone, is pearing Tani away. Some carpenter or painter of ploughs and wagons has rested himself on it with his blue paint, and has amused himsetf while he sat by daubing his broad brush upon some parts of it. Others have clipped out part of some of the letters ; and one corner is chipped bred two inches or more, the last time the roads had been muddy, some young- sters had been jumping on to it from a certain dis- tance, for the mud from their nailed shoes stuck to the edges wherethey had got their feet to, but Jost their balance from, preparatory to their fall- ing backward. _ asked why it was not better Wentioie) and was answered that it first had been the intention to put a railing round it; but thatfor rome reason it was not done. Perhaps this notice of its present con- dition will remind the relatives or political friends of the deceased of this unperformed duty. In the course of a very few years, if it remains exposed as it is to the ruthless feet of the young ‘ chop- sticks,” the inscription will be illegible and the stone awreck. The inscription is as follows :-~- “ Beneath this stone lie the remains of Wittum Consett, born inthe parish of Farnham, 9th March, 1762. Enlisted into the 54th Regiment of Foot, 1784; of which he be- came Sergeant-Major in 1796, and obtained his discharge in 1791. In 1794 he became a political writer. In 1883 was returned to Parliament for the borough of Oldham, and represented it till his death, which took place at Nor. mandy Farm, in the adjoining parish of Ash,on the 18h of June, 1835 Next to this stone and grave is an upright stone bearing the name of George Cobbett, who died at the age of 59, in the year 1760. Idid not see the name on any other gravestones. I found the house standing near the stream of water aforementioned, where report says Cobbett was bora. It is at present a public house, and bears the sign of “The Jolly Farmer.” Across the stream, amid some houses which skirt the road loading up to and over the high ground between us and Waverley Abbey, I saw a mean looking beer- house, bearing the sign of the ‘Farmers’ Retreat.” ‘Tne City or Navvoo.—A correspondent of the Springfield, (Maes.) Republican, writes this de- scription of the city of the Mormohs:—I arrived here about sunset, and put up at the ‘* Mansion House,” kept by Joe Smith up to the time of his death, and by his widow until a week past. It is now kept by Mr. William Marks, (a leading Mor- mon,) Mrs. Smith having moved into a very com- modious house on the opposite side of the street. Desiring to make the best of the short time I could remain here, | immediately informed Mr. Marke that I was a stranger from “Yankee land,” visit- ing Nauvoo for the purpose ot learning every thing about the place and the people that circumstancrs would allow, and that he would lay me under great obligations if he would give me, in the first place, a horse and carriage and driver, to see what I could of the city, and the tempie now building, and after that to answer all my questions which he might 91 consider impertinent. Mr. Marks very readily expressed p willingness to aid me in my in- quiries, and insteud of sending hisson, went with me himself. Although the dusk of the evening was mridly coming on, I soon saw that! was inacity. Thad not before by any means acquired an adequate idea of the extent and population of the city of Nauvoo, nor of the gize, style, and superior workmanship of the Temple, so far as it is advanced, but de- termined to look at the whole day-light I re- turned to the hotel. 1 was introduced during the evening to Mrs. Joseph Smith, senior, mother ot Joe, and talked with her unreservedly of the af- fairs of the Mormons, and of the horrid act which resulted in the death of two affectionate sons, on whom she had for along time leaned for support. Mrs. Smith was born in Montague, Massachusetis, 19 63 years old, and her maiden name was Lucy Mack. Her father kept tor several years the tav-rn in Montague, known afterwards as the *‘Gun tavern,” and afterwards kept a public house in Keen, N. H She, atso fora time before her mar- ciage, lived witha relation in South Hadley, and when she found that] was familiar with the place where she had lived half a century ago, she ex- pressed gre tisfaction, and made many inquiries about persons, some of whom are now livin; 1 gave her all the intormation in my power, an: ie became so engaged that she was unwilling to sus- pead her conversation when it became time to re- tire for the night * This morning, Mr. Marks took his horse and wagon, quite early, and carried me again to the Temple, and quite to the rear et the city. I saw and talked with the erchitect, who showed me all the drawings and plansot the Temple, ad explain- ed them as much as! had time to spare. I also saw and conversed with several of the workmen, and particularly with ‘stohe-cutters and sculptors, and meunted the ladder and went on to the topmost part where they were laying the walla, and after all, Ido not feel competent to give you an intelli- gible description, but will do the best Lean. I will in the first place say; that the ground plot has no ri- val for beauty and eligibility tor the site of acity in any other town onthe Mississippi river, and I have seem no spot that resembles it near ay much as the ground on which the city of Washington is built The river at the northern end takes u sweep, and by the time it gets to the lower part of the city it describes an elipsis, The front on the flat alluvial part embraces perhaps one third of the city, con- tains the principal part of the stores and the moat of the public houses. This embraces, Main street, with a broad avenue one and a half miles long, and several parallel streets, and others crossing them at right angles The city then rises an easy grade to the level of the prairies, say one hundred and fifty feet about the river. On this elevation the Temple is situation, and shows to the very best ad- vantage ; back of this the city still extends at least a mile, andthe whole comprises an area of perhaps ten square miles. { J You will not suppose that all this ground is com- pactly built upon, yet it is nearly josely built as the great city | am comparing it with, and one t! may be called a “city of distances—with this dif- ference, that at the rate the city ef Nauvoo has progressed tor five years past, it will very soon go ahead of ite ‘illustrious predecessor” in the num- ber and compactgess of its population, The build- ings are in general well built, and a good portion ol —_ or stone ; some of them are capacious ano coatly The Temple is situated relatively much as the City Hall in. Washington, and is a magaificent structures as far agit is advanced. It is 128 feet long, 88 feet wide, and the walle 57 teet high. The materials are white limestones, which are warried on.their own ground within a convenient detance. There are 30 pilasters projecting about fifteen inches fromthe walls, the cases of which are wrought to re the rising moon in ite first quarter, and the capitals which measured six feet high and six feet wide at the, top, represent the meridtan sun, the whole executed in the most elaborate style, and indeed the workmanship. throughout 18 as well done as anything in the United States. Lgpeak with confidence, for I have seen and examined all the beat specimens of stone cutting and masonry in this country. _ There are to be circular windows between each pilaster and midway between the upper and lower story windows, #o finiehed as te re nt ears. The whole to be surmounted by a splendid dome. 10 the basement is the baptismal font, 18 feet long by 10 feet wide, standi the backs of 12 oxcn—4 (ooking south andé@ east and 2 w These ate very handso arved of wood.

Sntertainment on board the Great Western, On Wednesday, the gallant commander of the noble steamer;Great Western, gave to a select par- ty of friends one of the most beautiful entertain- ments of the season. The company, consi-tivg of about forty-five ladies and gentiemen, met «1 about 12 o’ciock, and after having listened tor # balf hour to the music of one of our best bande, repaired to the cabin, The immortal Downing, the Ude of America, had the superintendence of the tables, and truly, on thie occasion, did hunselt honor We noticed among the guests the majestic Miss C—, Mrs. J—, Mre. L—, Miss O—, the niece of the richest man in America, and many others equally beautiful, witty and interesting. Among the gen- tlemen guests were Mr Irvin, the popular agent, Mr. Stewart of Broadway, Mr. Siher of Pine street, Mr. D—, Mr. F—, and others. The glorious Mathews, the most popular commander who visits ourshores, received his friends with his accustomed courtesy, and in a neat little speech welcomed them on board the Great Western. Several toasts were proposed and drank with all the honore—but one emong them, we thought, was more hearti! responded to than the rest; it was, “ the health happiness of Mrs.\ Captain Mathewe; we wait with anxiety to welcome her to our shores.” The cap- tain’s son, young Mathews, a gallant, handome young fellow, was very attentive and polite, and was evidently the object of admiration to more than one fair creature there assembled. Duri the lunch the band, at intervals, played our nati airs, the Polkas, é&c., to the admiration of all. Our *pace compels us to be brief, and we therefore can give but a short account of ghis very pleasant little affair. All present were deNghted, the jadies look- ed happy, the gentlemen looked happy. and Ma- thews, (God bless him,) looked the happiest of all. We wish all good wishes, quick and sate tripe, fall cabins, good health and cg to Mathews, the popular commander of the Western.
