NEW YOR News from Europe. The Great Western is fully due to-day. She may, therefore, be hourly expected to arrive Ministers of the Gospel—Serving God and Mammon, We read, a few days ago, in a Liverpool paper, with feelings of loathing and disgust, of the blas- phemous adulation of a Liverpool parson, who compared the visit of Prince Albert to Liverpool As members coming of Christ on earth with the of the h ) family,we felt humiliated that there should be a person so utterly lost to all sense of manliness, « y and religion, as to be guilty of such profane and servile syeophancy, and » that such an abject thing should wear the We thanked God that he was nor hve fhea A i yet y n , are amongst us ministers of the » worldly-minded as to think of nothing e of honor and emolument, they should be devoting their time to the ving of souls, and to a spiritual combat with the id, the flesh, and the devil.

He preach- es and his words have weight, for his life is holy. He attends the death-bed of the dying sinner, | breathes contrition and hope into his soul, and in- fuses balm and consolation into the heart wherein before had reigned darkness and despair. He has the love of the young and the respect of tho old. He is devoted to the interests of his flock, because he has no earthly cares—no terrestrial ambition ; and thus, simple in his tife, gentle in his teach- ings, mild and unobtrusive in his demeanor, and fervid in his piety, in his life holy and in his death calm and hopeful, he gives an exemplar of the etiicacy of 1is preaching and so wins souls to Hea- ven. Now let us draw another picture. An illiterate individual thinks, or at all events pretends, that he has ‘a call.” He puts on a demure look, dresses in sables, assumes to be deep in the mys- teriee of the Bible, gets together a meeting, and sputters out texts of scripture by the yard, inter- spersing them with his own notions and specula- tions touching the meaning of the aforesaid texts of scripture, and on matters and things in general. As a preacher, he always possesses influence with the female portion of the community, and thus gains an ascendency over their husbands. His mind is without balanee, and he soon sighs after the excitement and the glitter of official life. takes part in politics, argues stoutly on the merits of this or that system, denounces the party oppo sed to nim in politics, and persuades the simple- minded people, partly by his stump oratory, and partly by the influence of his position, to send him to Cc It is odd, man to deliver a violent and intemperate political harangue inthe morning, and in the evening to deliver a discourse on religion from the pulpit of a | chr asi in temple.

We never yet saw an instance (with perhaps one exception) of a minister of. e@ mmanding talents, or of a well balanced mind, using his sacred office as a stepping-stone to,polit- jeal advancement, There is one thing certain, that if a minister be Sincere in What he preaches, he ought to be con- tent with his position. 1f he preach what he does not believe, he is unfit for the office of minister or legislator, and deserves to be treated as a char- Jatan and an impostor. We are in favor of the largest liberty, but we do wish there was a law against ministers of the gospel becoming pol:ti- cans, oratall events thrusting themselves into oir legislative halls. In what we have said we ude to any individual. We mere , or rather the entire abse: ple, involved in the indecent practice we pet have c mimented on.

Dre le having on board the California volunteers» yur sh for their destination, accompanied ore by the sloop-ofwar Preble. The expedition com- prises some seven hundred and eighty, officers and men, The following isa list of the officers in com- mand of the ships, Ship Thomas H. Perkins, f(pennant)—Col. J. D. St veuson. Surgeon, Alexander Perry, Adjutant, Mat Captains, Lippit, Stevenson, and Turner; Quartermaster, Folsom. Ship Susan Drew, Lieut. Col. Burton, Commanding. Captains, Nagle, Erisby, Shannon, and Taylor; Commis sary, Marcy ; Assistant Surgeon, Murrey Ship Loo Choo, Major Hardy, Commanding. Captains, Brackett, Dimick, and Steele; Assistant Surgeon, W. C. Parker; Chaplain, Leavenworth. The vessels were towed to sea by the steam- boats Hercules, Herald, and Jacob Bell. We understood that the expedition would not hive sailed until last evening, but trom circum- stances that occurred the day previous. Col. Stevenson was compelled to sail sooner than he expected, to avoid being arrested under a war- rant issued against him for an alleged debt, and another issued by the police authorities against some of his officers, for obstructing the sheriff in he discharge of his duty. It appears thata war- rant for his arrest was issued by Judge Daly, un- der the Stillwell act, and when the sheriff’s offi- cer proceeded to make the arrest, the man on duty on board the vessel, was ordered to shoot him, if he attempted togo on board. Under these circumstances, the sheriff thought that pru- | dence was the better part of valor, and beat a re- treat with all possible haste to the police joffice, where he made the affidavit ofhis being obstruct- ed, and prayed the arrest of{Capt. Turner, thefof- ficer by whose direction the order to shoot was given. Justice Drinker accordingly issued a war- rant for Turner’s arrest, and placed it in the hands of A.M. ©. Smith, for execution, who immedi- ately undertook to make the arrest, but was re- fused admittance on board. This officer then re- turned to the city, but did not inform the magis- K HERALD. | day, September 27, x40, | ycan be always singled ont by | » Presidency of the United | He | trate of the treatment he met with, until yester+ day morning, between nine and ten o’elock On Justice Drinker being made acquainted | with the cirenmstances, he immediately related | them to the Mayor, who ordered out some three _handred men, armed with cutlasses and swords, which were distributed to them at the arsenal, as a posse comitatus, to carry the writ into execution by force. The force being armed and equipped, | they proceeded to the battery with the intention | of boarding tae vessel, and capturing Captain Turner, but Col. Stevenson having previously got a scent of the proceedings, was going down the bay at the rate of nine knots an hour. The Captain of the police force then sent a commu- nication by telegraph to the offing, asking infor- mation of the whereabouts of the expedition, | and received in reply an answer stating that they were merrily ploughing the sea, and would be out of sight of land in a few hours. This was a dilemma not contemplated by the police force, and finding themselves baffled by | the dexterity of the gallant Colonel, they ground- ed arms, sounded a retreat, and reached the place they started from in good order, each with a segar in his mouth, and a frown on his counte- nance. No official accounts of the number of killed, wounded, and missing, have yet been re- ceived by the officer in command, but in the ab- sence of such return we will undertake to put the | loss down at none killed—three hundred, or there- abouts, extremely mortified, and all down in the mouth, Several pairs of breeches and coats | were a little injured, but these matters are too | trifling to be inserted in a return of such impor- | tance, | The worst of the story remains to be told, for | Some thirty of the volunteers and a Captain of a | company, were left behind by the Colonel in his | hurry. These men desiring to follow, chartered | the yacht Pearsall, !ying at the Battery, and pro- ceded afier the fleet wich the intention of overta- aking their comrades if possible, and taking their | chance in the promised land. A woman, too, | was left behind under very painful circumstances She had come ashore leaving her husband and children on board, fer the purpose of purchasing some baker’s bread for her infant child, and while thus engaged the expedition got under way and jefther behind. As might be expected, the poor woman was almost frantic at her misfortune, and was seen walking up and down the Battery like a maniac. This is the last of this great expedition in this locality It has at length departed from our shores, bound to a distant land, and in common with the rest of our citizens we wish it God speed. | Tue Farce Over.—The trial ot Justice Drinker is at an end, and the result is that ‘‘ the charges are dismissed.” This farce has cost the commu- nity from one to two thousand dollars, and has ta- ken up more time than the County Court could spare. Time.—The Government begins seriously to | think that ‘‘ some means” are necessary to expe- dite despatches from the Pacific. Funny.—The Union is praising Punch for its humorous attacks on the members of the English Ministry. Is the Union the American Punch? Imrortant Frem Navvoo.—We have received aslip, purporting to come from the St. Louis Union office, which gives the following impor. tant intelligence, If this slip be correct the Mor- mons have capitulated, and will immediately leave the State. [From the St. Louis Union, Sept. 19.] ‘The Alvarado arrived this morning at eleven o’clock from Keokuk, bringing intelligence from Nauvoo, up to Friday moring. Some skirmishing took iy on Tuesday, but so far as can be ascertained, nothing serious resulted. During Wednesday, negotiations were in progress between the parties, and on Thursday morning it was finally con- cluded that the besieged, or those of them who had ta- ken part in the hostilities of the few days previous, | suould at once capitulate, lay down their arms, and leave the City and State within five The number embraced in this requirement is v: ly estimated at | from three to seven hundred, about one hundred and fifty only of whom are Mormons. On Thursday evening the mobocrats marched in, and took formal possession of the city. The steamboat Os- | prey hadalready left for Strangtewn, a Mormon settly- | ment in Wisconsin, crowded with passengers. ‘The Al- varado brought a number of the proscribed citizens to this place. Some of them go eastward The total of killed and wounded in the different skir- mishes is not yet ascertained, but it is believed to be not very great. Captain Smith, of Carthage, died of his wounds before reaching home. Several others of the An- | ties, and a few of the new citizens, are also said to have | been mortally wounded. Thus are we called upon to record another triumph of | the spirit of misrule and outlawry. City Intelligence. Tue Paimany Erection.—The past week has been remarkable for its excitements. Our Democratic fellow | citizens were busy as bees with preparations for, and in the carrying out of their “primary elections.” Bar | rooms flourished, and knots of curiously visaged chaps sometimes talking in Whispers, and at others “ blowing” in trumpet tones, in every alley of the Custom Hou and the i groggerie ‘supported by the different poli stations wery clique had its champions; a the fe” who labor honestly for a living, seeking and who suffer “ dear peopl no “ treasury pap” or official impoztan most from bad goveanment would be could but get a view of the wor! mills from which their Governors, Congr small iry officeholders are ground out f P good.” We seldom waste the time of our readers with | the disgusting minutie of party squabbles, but a brief \ description of some of the trickery by which worthless | devils lift themselves and “their poor relaticns” into importance, may be as instructing as it is userul. In every ward there are hordes of oflicehelding and seeking loaiers, who are so benevolent as to be always willing to | save their honest fellow citizens the trouble of selecting the persons who shall fill offices of trust and emolument. | ‘These men usually assembie in the groggeries of men who, having a finger. secretly, in the different fat con- tracts, kc , an the gift of the city and general government, are liberal in trusting for rum and segars, are always takiag a leading part, und thus tickets are devised where- on only (he frien while a few of the favorites of the expectants out of amed, to guli the flats, and the officeholders 4 for cast to pay for the printing, puffing @ oficeseekers are also bled for the benefit of a chaace at the public crib, As the time for | the primary election approaches, rum and segars are freely dispensed.

In the First Ward, ex-Alderman Charlio’s friends were defeated, and much complaint ex- | ists. In the 5th, Alderman Hart's friends triumphed, af- terefight, in which some of the magistrates were par ties. Theabsence of E. 8.

And #0 ended the “ primary election.” | Sraxer Osstauctions.—We would ageig call the at- tention of those in guthority to the outside merchants who occupy the payemgpts in Nassau street from Spruce to Wali streets.

His acting is said to be full of life, naturalness, and humor, and his brogue is described as rich and mellifluous. An Irish comedian should have all the wild impulsive abandon ofthe character he represents, His delineations should be “racy of the soil.” Both the peasantry and the upper classes of Ireland have manners, habits, gait, res, and intonations, different from those of any people.

Hs was in one sense only re le, for he ought to be excluded from society, in order that those under the protection of the law, may not be injured by him. Was the prisoner insane at the time he committed the murder? Before entering upon this, he felt it due to the counsel for the defence, to state that there was not the least grounds to say, that the defence of insanity was feigned in any degree in this case, on the contrary, if ever it was set up in good faith upon any trial, it ‘was on the present one. The painful history of the family as unfolded in evidence, w sufficient to show that the defence on this point was set up in good faith In saying this, he was not to be s to indicate an gpinion, whe' the defence had or had not been sus- tained. That wi questior feel himself called upon to which the faithful discha impose upon him. It was difficult to detine what insanity was—all had a notion of it—if they saw a man that was insane—t! all wi know he was insane. If he com- mitted some atrocious act at that time, and had not his senses, and did {not know what he was about, he could not be held regponsible. The simple question for the jury was, whether tho accused at the time of commit- ting the act was conscious it wes one which he ought not todo. If they determined he was conscious of what he was doing—that he ought not to do it—he ought to be held amenal w ; but if, on the contrary, he a not conse! 4 tl ies 4 bees gp they ought te acquit. He ought, perhaps, at thi: lea’ this case tol the jury, with the few remarks he had made, but counsel and the law bape id require of him to lay down the rule of law that id govern them in aoe) their decision. First, he would re- mark, that the law presumed a man sane until the ques- tion to the conirary was proved. The evidence on this head ought to be clear and satisfactory. If the evidence leaves it a doubtful question at all—if in such acase, that is, if it were doubtful whether the prisoner had committed the act, the jury ought to acquit—by giving the prisoner the benefit ‘of the coubt—so says the law — Every man is pretumed innocent until his guilt is proved. But where it is admitted he committed ihe act, and was insane at the time he committed, the jury ought to find inst the prisoner ; but he did not'mean to say the jury should consider him sane, if there was a shadow of doubt on this point ; what hi int to say, was, that yn th ere there was avidence of his being e it leaves the question amen be held responsible for but in either case the jury hid a right to say that the evidence was clear a factory, in order to acquit him. If the prisoner had been insane, and that it was proved that his senses had been subsequently restored, and was in his right miod—thut is, that he was capable of distinguishing between | right and wrong, he should be held responsi i all this w proved against an: perso; ‘under such circumstances they were not to excused. ing been insane once or severl times, may ren- re probable when he committed the homicive : it standing by, this proved nothing whe e State showed that he nad returned to reason ; But if there wus pa independent evidence that he was so, then the form of insanity, increases the responsibilty forit The same re- marks may be said of the insanity in the family, for standing alone it amounted to nothing. It was no evi dence that the prisoner was insane at the time of the ho- micide, but it increases the probability that he may have been so, as cumulative testimony of this fact. It was true some families were more subject to insanity than others, and also that some members of families were more afflic'- ed than others; but, standing alone, this was nothing This ground of defence, he would repeat was of no avail | unless they believed beyond a,reasonadle doubt, from al! v idence, that the prisoner was insane [n the next e, if they believed he was insane, what was the de- Gree of insanity— and if it was such a degree of insanity as to render him without reason ond res ibility.
