Steamer Indiana, on Lake Erie. Torx Evrror or ru Heraup— Str—Your valuable and interesting paper being the vehicle jthrough which the public derive much useful information generally, and particularly as to the best and most pleasant means of conveyance from one point to another of our extended territory, with comfort and despatch, 1 beg to call the atten- tion of the travelling public to the steamer Indiana, asa le of conveyance through our western lakes, unsurpassed in speed, comfort and rapidity—the three most desirable considerations in a ore 3 by +» Knows how to make his passengers comtertabl le’ and at home, and his vigilant care is extended through eve- - department of his profession. Amiable and gen- tlemanly in his manners and deportment, kind and attentive to all who place themselves under his, charge, re and energetic in the performance of ras duty—he inspires his passengers with that confidence so necessary to a pleasant trip through our lakes. | The oan, ag Mr. Watts, deserves particu- lar notice also. He has been a longtume upon the lakes, and fully understands his business. He will never be caught napping, or by any inattention to his business nsk the lives of the passengers and crew of this noble boat. The gentlemanly steward, and the obliging and attentive proprietor of the saloon, also come in for a share of that praise so justly due to all on board the Indiana. Without any intention to detract from the merits of any of the floating palaces on our western waters, let me say that the better the Indiana is known, the eater will be the estimate in which she will be held by the travelling public, who lam sure will thank you for inserting this brief notice for their benefit. Respectfully, Saganaw. Arrarrs or THE Mormons.—We find the follow- ing in several of our Western exchange papers.— There appears. to be an increasing excitement against the Mormons in the vicinity of the city of Joseph. : Sooner or later, unless the authorities interfere, a bloody tragedy will be enacted among the Mormons.— The people who reside in the vicinity of Nauyoo, are evidently much exasperated against the followers ¥f Joe Smith, and thus stories are constantly circulated—many of them, we incline to the opinion, without foundation—of murders and other outrages committed by the Mormons. Already more than once, threats of assassination have been held out, and the following, from a recent number of the Frankfort (Ky.) Commonmealth, indicates the de- gree of apprehension that exists among the threatened: His Excellenoy, Governor Owsley, has re morial from the “Quorum of Twelve” and t! of the “Church of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day despatched from Nauvoo by a special messenge srblou the Aformons epyeal meet eure lency to interfere, and by his influence and official rank” shield them from threatened dispersion and destruction. They implore the Governor to “convene a special session of the Legislature” aad “furnish them an Cn from oppression. They conclude their me- morial by a general prayer to the Governor to “lend his immediate aid to quell the violence of mobocracy, and to exert his influence to establish them, as a people, in their civil and religious rights, where they now are, or in some part of the United States, or some place remote therefrom.” We understand the Governor to be decidedly in favor of ‘‘some place remote therefrom,” and that he declines for the present issuing his proclamaton for a special ses- sion of the eh eerie to provide the Mormons with an “Asylum” in Kentucky. Anri-Rext Ourrace—Arremrr To Snoot Suer- 1rF Sepewick.—One of the most daring outrages that has taken place in thie county since the breaking out of the Anti-Rent disturbances, took place in Taugh- kanic on Friday last, when an attempt was made by a party of disguised “Indians” to shoot down Deputy sheriff Sedgwick and constable Traver. Mr. 8. had a rocess to dispossess Freeman Hand, a tenant of Robert wift Livingston, and took with him for the purpose of assisting » Constables Traver and Algar, who pro- ceeded down to Taughkanic on Thursday to execute the process, but owing to the rain, Mr. 8. concluded he would postpone the service until the next day, as he did not wish to put the family out into the storm, although he had called upon Mr. Hand a number of times and gave him notice to quit. On Friday morning they left their wagon at David K. Tripp’s, in Ancram, about a mile and a half from the house, and’ proceeded to the premises on foot. After arriving there and making known their business, Mr. Han bo ged Mr. Sedgwick not to at his things out, and Mr. Sedgwick told him that he ed put it offs number of times slready at his sollcite- tion, but ifhe would give him security that he would leave the next week, he would let the things remain ; this he refused te do, and Mr. 8. commenced removing the things ; before he had proceeded far, however, Tho- mas Morgan, a Constable in that neighborhood, arrested Mr. Sedgwick on a writ for trespass.” Mr. 8. told the Constable that he was willing to answer the summons, and would 50 with him at once before the Magistrate. The Constable maid he should endanger his life by going with him, but he might go and deliver himself w the Justice if he hada mind to. This Mr. 8. reft to do, but told the Constable that he would accompan: Constable refused todo. W! woods, so far off, however, that the shot hadno effect, al- though they struck the house. After performing their duty in removing the goods, kc., Mr. Sedgwick and the others started for their team, accompanied by constable Morgan; they had not proceeded far before three “dis- guised Indians” made their appearance on a small rise of greund about 80 paces from them, who immediately call- ed out to the men with the Sherif to get away from him if they did not want to be shot, and almost immediately fired. ‘The guns were loaded with buck-shot, and on the first fire Mr. Traver was hit on the side of his head ; Mr. 8. was next hit, some shot going through his hat and one lodging in ; he was staggered a y discharge, and hat notfully ‘tecoversd before. he receiv. edanother charge in his thigh, where number took effect. Mr. 8. and those with him then left the road and got out of the range of the woods into the eleared field here the cowardly assassins dared not follow, and they met with no further opposition. We are happy to state that neither Mr. Sedgewick nor Mr. Traver were seri- ously injured, although they experienced some incon venience from the shot.—Hudson Gaz. May 21. U. S. Iron Sreamer Micnican.—We had the pleasure on Wednesday of vation: for the first time, the war steamer Michigan, and looking at all her excel- lent “appointments.” She is indeed a noble vessel, per- fect in atl her parts, and as neat from the sailors’ mess to the Captains’ saloon, as a lady's boudoir. We were par- ticularly struck by the perfect finish and compactness of her engine, and the admirable arrangement of the coal bins along the sides of the vessel, forming an impene- trable mass, by whieh the boilers and machinery are se- curely protected from injury by an enemy's shot. Great skill and good taste has been displayed in the economy and arrangement of the rooms for the commander and ward room officers, as also for the quarters of the men, the larger and central portion of the vessel being taken up by the boilers, engine, and coal reservoirs. Several contrivances of great usefulness to a vessel navigating have been introduced, we mander— the shoal waters of the lakes, believe, at the Con gg one of which struck ui to landsmen; but those who feel any interest in examin- ing one of our “floating bulwarks,” can do so, as all per- sons who apply after the morning hours for cleaning ship are politely received by the officers'in charge. We have been kindly furnished by an oficer on board, with the following description of the Michigan, and a list of the officers attached, which we annex. ‘The name of the as first Lieutenant will be recognize: be 4 many, one of our oldest citizens, if himse! iliar with our 5 4 inches; length of deck 167 feet 6 inches; length over all 176 feet 6 inches; breadth of beam 27 fee! extreme breadth 45 feet 10 inches; depth mean draught of water when launched 4 feet 14 inches; draught of'water when fully equipped tor service 8 feet.

Knowing the pro- | ceedings of this singular sect would be interesting to our readers, especially the business sessions, they being entirely private—none but members ceing al- lowed an admission, one of our reporters was early on the spot to note down any thing that might trans- pire of general interest. On Sunday morning we made an unsuccessful at- tempt to enter the Quaker meeting-house in Kose street. Although it was long before the regular meeting hour, the house was crowded full. We were permitted, by the opening of the door, to take a -eep inside, and never did we behold such 'a mass of ne, beings crowded together within the walls of abuilding. “ The ladies (bless them,) occupied, as is usual, one side of the house, and it was enough, heaven knows, to tear a man’s heart, liver and lights all out, just to glance at them. The crowd becoming very great in the yard, the spacious basement of the building was opened, the rush was so great, there being but one door, that many of the gentle sex must have been squeezed beyond satisfaction. One old maiden lady, not being to being pressed so closely by the rougher half of creation, actually faint- ed away, and was carried through the crowd, no- body knows where. At last the meeting having, in @ Measure, “settled into the quiet,” George F. White, a philosophical flour merchant in Front streat, rose in his place, and in a dignified tone pro- claimed, that “there were two religions—that there always had been, and probably always would be— one the religion of Christ, the other the religion of hire- lings.” We have not room for the whole of his discourse, which continued for an hour and a half, without inter- mission, and with a rapidity of utterance truly astonish- ing, considering that it was altogether extempore. fine large assembly up stairs broke up while Mr. White was speaking, and the rush to the door, from the basement, was dangerously great. We were carried by the crowd outside, and the sight in the wa and street was interestingly exciting. Men looking for their wives, mothers, sisters and children ; the women in their turn anxiously enquiring for thoir friends. We returned to the basement just in time to hear Mr. White, in closing, exclaim, God save me from ever becoming’ an evange- lic Christian.” In the afternoon, at the same place, Mrs. Rachel Bar- ker spoke very lengthy to a large audience. Few wo- worn bave the waind’and talents ofthis lady—her voice is full, clear and sweet; in appearance she is youthful, ith a bright, sparkling eye, red cheeks, high forehead, nd dark hair tastefully “ put up,” and were it not for r graceless motions and male-like gestures, she would indeed captivating. Her sermon related to the dis- crepancies between gion of the Scribes and Phar- asees and the Publican. Her closing appeal to the young was touching in the extreme. Monpay Morninc—Paivate Staston. + ‘The miale part of the Society of Friends met in Hester, corner of Elizabeth street, at 10 0’clock. Our reporter entered without opposition, soon after which a stout, fine- looking man, much resembling the engravings of Wil- liam Penn, got up and made a speech on the government of the society—pronouncing it to be “ the highest, most dignified and august tribunal on earth, without any ex- ternal head, without an outward moderator, or president, trusting on the inward teacher, the heavenly monitor, Christ, within the hope of glory.” This personage, we wore informed, was Jos. Foulke, of Pennsylvania. Soon after he was seated, Thomas Wright, formerly a mer- chant in this city, but now a retired farmer of Columbia county, rose and read the opening minute as follows : “At a yearly meeting of Friends, held in the city of New York, convened on the 26th day of Sth month, 1845.” Mr. Wright officiates as Clerk. Soon after the Assistant Clerk Mr. Samuel Willets, of the firm of A. & S, Willets, hardware merchants, proceeded to call the representa- tives from other meetings. Inthe meantime Mr. Wright made a minute to the following effect : ‘The represen- tatives from the several quarterly meetings were Sam’) Mott and others, who, being called, all were found to be Present, except one.” Clerk—" Perhaps it would be a suitable time to receive the minutes (credentials) of our strange friends,” whereupon about a dozen stepped up to the Clerk’s desk with their papers. (Our reporter began tofeel for his.) These certificates were all of a like tenor, and ran as foll “Whereas, our beloved friend, Jesse Kersey, has laid before this meeting a concern he has long had upon his mind, to attend the next yearly meeting’ to be ‘held in New York, and his concera en- gaging the deep attention of friends, after due delibera- tion, they see fit to set him at liberty to follow the lead- ings of the Divine Spirit as way may open, he being a minister in unity with us.

The Weekly Herald will contain it all. Law of Libel. ' In yesterday’s Herald, a wish is expressed for in- formation on the point, whether the truth is not a de- fence in a civil action for a libel. The whole sub- ject is fully discussed in Starkie on Slander, Wen- dell’s edition, vol. 1, chapter 9, and vol. 2, chap. 12. ‘There never has been a doubt, with well informed lawyers, but that “the defendant is justified in law, and exempt from all civil responsibility, if that which he publishes be true”—Ist Starkie, 204, e only question has been in criminal prosecu- tions. Here the gist or graveamen of the proceeding is the tendency of the publication to a breach of the peace, which constitutes it an offence against the public. In England, the twuth of a libel on an indi- vidual is no defence to a criffiinal information or in- dictment. In this State, however, by Section 7th of Article 7th, of the Constitution, and by chapter 4th, part Ist, section 21, of the Revised Statutes, in all prosecutions or indictments for libels, the truth may be given in evidence to the jury; and if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libel- lous is true, and was published with my motives, and for justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted; and the jury shall have the right to determine the law and the fact.” aie.o : 780 that in New York the truth is a justification, both in civil suits for damages, and in criminal pros- id Mr. Cooper is quite i for punishment, an uta myth, that our Courts have never ruled that the truthis nota complete defence in a civil ac- tion. This could hardly be,when it is expressly made so, even on an indictment. JURISCONSULT.

Ohio and Michigan have chiefly supplied her paper currency, and - ly have the farmers of this devoted State been shaved by irresponsible bank issues. One institution, lo- cated in the Territory of Wisconsin, furnishes now a large portion of the currency for northern Illinois, andjsouthern and western Michigan. Itiscalled the Wisconsin Marine and Fire Insurance Company, and is located at Milwaukie.: The capital stock is owned in. Europe, and its affairs are conducted en- tirely by foreigners and are in the hands of brokers exclusively. Itpurports to exercise banking powers under a section of its charter, which allows the issu- ing of certificates of deposit. These certificates, al- though really issued at Chicago, assume on face to be issued at Milwaukie, and are redeemable at that point in coin. " . No one can doubt but that the legislature of Wis- consin never intended that a Company, chartered for the purpose of insuring against losses by fire and water, should exercise banking pri 8; nor is jat paper in State, and Avex.

What amount of paper is in circulation, no one ean tell—probably a large amount. It would do well for the public to wate carefully this institution, as the recent failure of the St. Clair Bank at Detroit clearly proves that no bank is to be relied upon, whose sole support is the per- senal liability or security of any individual, no mat- ter how wealthy he may be reputed. i ‘We trust that the Trustees of the Illinois and Mi- chigan Canal, when they enter upon the discharge of elk duties, will disburse along the line the same kind of funds they receive from the bondholders, viz. specie or its equivalent. The people of Illinois have a right to ask this as a matter of right ; it will furnish them with a good currency and will stop one of, at least, doubtful character. It will save the mer- chants the rate of exchange which they have been compelled to pay, and which has tended to enrich the coffers of a soulless foreign corporation. Mourperine In Jest—a VERY STRANGE CIRCUM- STANCE.—A very singular circumstance, involving a duel and death, took place at Cincinnati last Tuesday.— An Englishman named Robert Bland kept a tavern in that city. On the afternoon of Tuesday,as we learn from the “Commercial,” Mr. Bland got to arguing with ome Samuel Powell on the subject of shooting at a mark, and each had been boasting of his skill. From shooting at a mark, the subject turned on duelling, when Bland went behind the bar in his tavern and took up a pair of pistols letting Powell take his choice, signify ing that they could determine the point by a trial of skill. As they both went out of the tavern door, Mr. B. sale to Powell, “the pistols are loaded.” They had agreed, it appears, to fire at a distance of bevlegh 4 sree but after taking their posi- tions, in the manner of d they each walked about two or three paces, wheeled, and both fired! The result of this was, that Bland was shot, the ball entering the right side and then pas: throught the region of the chest to the point of the shoulder blade, where it lodged. He lingered till about half past eight o'clock next morn- ing, when he died, leaving a wife and two children.— Both parties in this tragedy were natives of England,and What led to it is a mystery; During the night followin Mr. B. stated that “he had not intended to kill Powell, and was glad he did not.” Dreavrut Suicioe—The coolest and most deliber- ate suicide we ever heard of, was that of Phili Smith, a German in this city, yesterday morning, at boarding hor He went to bed as usual, had money his belt; was a sober,industrious man, hopmates, and lad been working at sheemaking here for the last nine years. About 8 o’cloek he attempted to cut his throst with a knife, while in bed, and succeeded in making a gash, but not in ending life. He then got up, went into an adjoining room, took a razer and severed the caretoid/ artery, producing imme- diate death.— Cincinnati Commercial, May 23. From Osacr River.—Two flatboats arrived yes- terday from the Osage river laden heavily with pro- duce. Persons who came down upon them report the river in a good stage at the time of their leaving, which ‘was on the 28th instant, and from five to six water on the principal bars ; they also state freights to be very plenty on that stream. At Osceola there were two or three boat-loads of hemp, wheat, and tobacco, waiting a boat to bring it out. At Warsaw and several other points along, there was a considerable amount in warehouses waiting a shipment.—St. Louis New Era, May 17. Iste Royate, Lake SurErion.—We see it stated that the Hudson Bay Company have taken posses- sion of Isle Royale, Lake Superior. This Island belongs tothe United Stat and contains two fine harbers.
