Inrarvuation—F anaticism——DeLusion—Hvm- pre.—lt is a fact, which it would be extremely dif- ficult to controvert, that there are thousands living in the present age, who are as susceptible of delu- sion, and who are as easily impregnated with the spirit of fanaticism, as any who inhabited the earth during the dark and benighted ages of the world. It is @ dingular but remarkable circumstance, that at this period of the world, when so much light, truth; and intelligence are so bountifully diffused from the press, from scxence, and from the scrip- tures, that a single individual, of ordinary intel- lectual faculties, should become so deluded as to day. The ‘Latter-Day Saints” firmly believe in the several predictions of Father Miller, and many of them, to our knowledge, abandoned all worldly objects, and prepared their ascension robes, patiently awaiting the moment to be taken aloft to the “third heaven.” Miller frequently predicted the day and the hour when “time should be no longer,” and eternity commence. His followers remained ia anxious expectation of the event, and kept their “lamps trimmed and burning,” until Miller was ealled from earth, through pain, disease, and death, as all other mortals are. Then their eyes were opened—the delusion vazished; and the “Latter Day Saints” returned to reason, and their duties to their families, to the: ves, and to society. Look, alse, at the complete control which the infamous impostor Matthias possessed over the minds of his victims. He exercised his 48, en- tered into the socialist state with him, and delivered serpentlike power over those persous co | rich treat in listening to Mr. Choate. He is to be followed on the same side by Mr. George Wood, of the New York bar; the solidity of whose argument, and the power of whose calm reasoning, render him ahost in himself. The case will be closed by thi Hon. Reverdy Johnson, (former Senator of the United States from Maryland, and lately Attoraey General of the United States,) on the part of the South. No cause tried in this city for some time past has enlisted such attention, by reason of the great importance of the suit, (the amount at issue being $70,000,) and the reputation of the learned advocates engaged in its argument. American Ockan Stream Navieation.— The passages that have been made by the Collins lineef steamships since the beginning of the year 1851, prove conclusively that we were not carried away by our feelings in praising those magnifcent vessels as we did, having the fullest contidence that, sooner or later, they would fulfil all our expectations. They would have done so frem the start, if the officers, engimeers, firemen, Ke., had | had the necessary experieuse which can be acquired | only by time. Without it, any enterprise will, to a certain extent, fail; or, at least, it will not result as favorably as it otherwise would. That experi- | ence, however, was acquired in Joss than a year— the engineers and offtcers became theroughiy ac quainted with what their vessels wore capable ef | doing, and the result is bafore the werld. The pass- ages made by these ships since the commencement of this year, are without a paralle! in the histery of ocean steam nrvigation. Within that time the public have been astonished at the performaneo of the Pacific, the Arctic, and the Baltic; and we would, no doubt, have been able to include the At- lantic, but that she has been detained for a few months in England, waiting for a new shaft. Tio their property into his hands. He was also a “saint,” and so charmed these infatuated creatures that the world became indifferent to them—they abandoned their children to its cold and unfeeling charities; and several of them, years since, sighed themselves into their tembs. And Matthias was ignerant—illiterate—had abandoned his own wife and children—tbrew up the jackplane (for he was a journeyman carpenter), allowed his beard and | hair to grow disgustingly lengthy, and came out an | “apostle” in the public streets. And so it was with Joe Smith. He was a lazy, indolent farmer. In ploughing the figlds, he up the “Golden Bible.” It was in language com- prising hieroglyphics, and no mortal could decipher | the characters but Joe. Greek, Latin, Hebrew, or any other language, dead or alive, which any other mortal but Joe could read. He translated it into the I language with as much ability as he po He immediately proclaimed hiuself a “ Prophet of the Lord,” and founded the Mormon fuith. He soon acquired disciples—for his Bible Suglish from Heaven! He established His believers disposed of their farms and other property—many of them deserting their families— cast the receipts of their property in Joe's treasury, received the right hand of fellowship, and were a mitted in full communion with the “ sovial family. Thousands of dollars were contributed, and hun- dreds of individuals of both sexes joined this man. They estaBlished societies in seveval places in the Western States; but from their obscenities, absur- dities, and irrespective comming! driven by the people from plac established the Temple at Nauvoo, in Lllinvis, There the leading spirit was shot. But the Mor mons have become more setthed since then, and are now doing good service to the overland emigrants, and will found an empire at Salt Lake. Without alluding to numerous other humbugs of the day, we come at once to the “mysterious KR. chester rappings.” This phenomenon has excited considerable curiosity, and many, learned in science and divinity, have given the subject some consideration. The “ mediums”—Mrs. Fox and sisters-- have visited several cities in this vicinity, and exhibited those rappings aad mysterious sounds to all persons who were disposed ,to contribute their dollar. We are not advised that any person in this city became converted, except our socialist cotemporary of the Tyilwne, and noone in Albany, except Thurlow Weed, who believes that the spirit of De Witt Clinton spoke through the “ medium” of his son George, ata late political meeting in Al- bany. We have, however, recently discovered another convert, wh» comes before the public open- ly and emphatically in his belief of the “pheno menon.” He was for several years the editor ofa country paper in this State. He isa gill believer in the mystery of the “rappings.” He says :— ‘We bave been in Auburn, and upon a thorough and careful investigation of the subject. we have come to the conclusion that the manifestations are not only produced by epirite out of the feeb, but that they are permitted and delegated to commuticate with mortals, by God. for the vast and ineonceivably exalted purpose of redecmit the world from the and corra| asin, A as one ofthe feeble instruments of God in thie great work, we engage our Weak talent henceforth and forever, till the object be .

As p eposterous and impos- fible ae such things are, aud as utterly absurd as they may be, the editor and his paper will undoubt edly be patronized by thousaads of persons imbued with an easy, accommodating faith. The world has been filled with fanat ciem, delusivn, deception, fraud, villany, impiety, ignorance, infatuation, and soon; but we venture the asertion that nothing has equaled thie attempt to print and publish articles “ compored by epirite in ancther state of exiatence.” Being out your paper, friend, it wilt moet with ready sade; the gaping public are suffering under «uxpewee. Vive Ia Humbug! What next !

The committee appointed by the British govern. | | ment recently did that city manifest injustice in | selecting Holyhend as a mail station in preference.

There is not quite as much moving a: | on the firet of May, but families, having taken | thought, prepare to move themselves into the coun- | try, and fashionable circles arrange their several programmes for the summer—eelecting the best con- ducted hotels and the most superior locations in the country, for enjoying the days of the summer solstice. | Since the last season, many changes have taken | place in the celebrated fashionable hotels, some of the proprietors having sold out, or stepped out into | ible and commodious quarters; and the | fashionable circles, too, have resolved to confine | their abodes chiefly to certain admired and charm- ing localities. Among these, the hotels at Saratoga, which have been celebrated for years past for balls, | hops, and other highly appreciated entertainments, | will have their usual patronage, Saratoga stil; | | maintaining its fashionable character. Lebanon | Springs, however, will be as popular with elegant so- | ciety as Saratoga. In the neighborhood, the most — delightful scenery and advantages for fishing and | shooting add to the delights of a residence, while at the best hotels there, the proprietors will spare no | expense to increase the pleasures of visiters by ad- mirable entertainments. At Newburgh, on the | Hudson river, above West Point, the Powelton House, which is situated some distance from the village, on a commanding eminence, and which is emboromed by trees and made delightful by prom- enades and drives, will be one of the best residences. Messrs. Blake and Reed, who had the Stonington House last year, have wisely selected this new site for the fashionable world. In the immediate vicin- ity of New York, Fort Hamilton will at an early day rece ve hundreds of fashionable visiters, anxious to enjoy the invigorating influence of sca breezes and sea bathing. The Neptune House at New Rochelle, the Pavilion at New Brighton, and the | Ocean House at Rockaway, will also be very pop- | wlar with those who desire to be near the sea. In the interior, the hotel of Mr. Cozzens, at West Point, attract as weual. This is delight- fully usted on high ground, and must al- ways prove a desirable summer residence.— It was at this spot that General Seott took | up bis quarters last July, and be will probably be there thie season to receive the congratulations | of his friends on the prospect of the White House, which is a great distance off. Travellers who are on their way to the White Mountains—where the hotels are all quite indifferent, even to the one in the gap—will not forget the Massaseit House, at | Springfiek!, where elegance, nea:ness, and plenty at once strike the attention, and make the pilgrim | desire to tarry.

If they do not consent, the application must be considered at an end. Mr, O’Conor thought that, under such an order, if they power ef compelling the other side to acquiesce. Mr. Van Buren presumed that each party did not re- | quire anything but a fair and impartial trial ; he would | consult with his client on the matter, and inform the Court of the resuitat 3 o'clock. Mr. Van Buren having spoken to Mr, Forrest for a few minutes. said that without ee until the time men. tioned, they were ready to answer that they would agree. ‘The Judge then directed Mr. O’Conor to prepare the proper papers, on which the Court would make an order for the Commisrioner to strike the jury, under the su- Jervision cf a Judge; he (Judge Duer) would attend to it himeelt, Mr. Van Buren said he would want some little notice of who the jurors are. Mr. O'Conor—That is not the way. Judge—That is not the way. ‘The parties strike off thirty names each immediately in Court; there is no notice of the names to be given. Mr. Van Buren—There ure some other motions pend- ing. for commissions in this ease. Mr. O'Conor—Of course nothing can be done until we serve you with notice of the jury being struck. Arrtication ron 4 Comission —Mr. Van Buren then, on bebalf of the defendant in this suit, applied for acom- mission to examine Ann Flower, residing in the city of New Orleans, The application was made on the affidavit of Mr, Forrest, which states, that he expects to be able to prove by Anu Flower, an act of adultery committed by rs. Ferrest witb one William A. Howard, and that de- fendant is advised by his counsel that she is a material witness, and that without her testimony he cannot safely i to trial. That on or about June last, the said Ann Flower, having heard that her testimony would be ma- terial, came on to this city, with the consent of her hus- band. for the purpose of attending the trial of this «uit ; and that, after remaining here about three days, she re- turned to New Orleans, finding that the cause was not likely to be resehed = That defendant, had received a let- ter from Ann Flower, dated on the 12th instant, stating that she cannot leave her place, having a young babe to attend to. Upon this affidavit, Justice Campbell issued an order that the plaintiff should show cause this day why a ccnmission should not issue and that all proceed- ings in the cave should cease for thirty days. Mr. Vao Buren would add, that this witness, Ann Flower, is one of the parties with whom Mr, Forrest is charged with having ccmmitted adultery. Mr. O'Conor wished to oppose this motion. and did so on the affidavit of Mrs. Forrest, for the purpose of show- ing Uhat it wae unsafe to grant a commission for this wit- tess, The effidavit states, that Aun Flower, formerly Ann Dewprey. was a domestic in the house of Mr. and Mre Forrest; that Mrs. Forrest was at one time informed by Mrs, Nevin that there was improper conduct going on between Ann and a servant boy, named Bernard Me- ; that deponent did not then take any notice of t, erwurds observed the appearance of Ann penne ud taxed her with being pi wot; that she admitted it, and raid that Capt. Howard was the futher. The affida- it went on to state that Ann Flower was here in June, nd that rhe wrote to Mrs. Forrest, and that on the 10th of June an advertisement appeared in the New Fork Herald, to the effect that if Mrs. Ann Flower, formerly, Mias Dempsey. who is supposed to be now in the city or its vicinity, will call or send word where she may be seen, ces at the cfice of Theodore ick, Eaq., 56 Wall street, rhe may hi ar of something to her advantage. Mr Sedg- Wich. continwed Mr O'Conor, is one of the counsel of Mr. Forrest, The affidavit of Mrs. Forrest also stated that a conversation was overheard between Ann Flower and other parties, in which she said that it was not Willis that reduced Mrs, Forrest, but that it was she seduced Willis; and deponent was induced to believe that Mr. Forrert put the advertisement in the Herald, with a view to make believe that he was in search of Ann Flower, and that he discovered her by this means. Deponent further believes that Ann Flower is da ‘vious character. & commie: ; rs ee also states = = yore Mr. ‘errert intends to go jew Orleans, be pre tent at the examination of Ann Flower; and if this commission is granted. she asks that he may be compelled to allow deponent money to go there in company with a gentleman who may be a ed by the court, or with a femele companion. Counsel then read other affidavits; one of which stated that Ann Flower refused to give the name of any other person than Capt. Howard as the fa- ther of her child, and that he paid her a sum of money for its —— The other was from lower's mother, stating that the child was with her, and that during the month of June Ann Flower did not come to her house to see her or her child. Mr. O’Conor then continued to state the particulars of the ration be- tween Mr. and Mrs Forrest in 1849, and that in February, 1850, he gave her notice of an ap) for a divorce on the ground of adultery with eight persons, no one of whem was this Capt. Howard. On the 9th August, Mr. Forrest filed a complaint in the Common Pleas of Phila- delphia, charging with adultry with eight or nine persons, and he thought Capt. Howard was then includ- ed, Counrel then went on to state Mrs. Forrost’s refusal to appear in Philadelphia, and the injunctions that were ted here, and the results which have been so repeat- # ediy publidhed. to leave the court, in or- Here Judge Duer was obliged = to sit with the other judges in General Term. On his return, Mr. Van Buren, in support of the issuing of a commis- tion, remarked that the witness, Ann Flower, who had ittendance here as a witness, waa aye mene to come onto New York, and the materiality of her evi- | dence is undoubted. He did not see that the defendant could bave made an earlier application for her examina- and he would remark, that any counsel ha character to sustain would always desire to have his wit- ners on the stand. He did all could to procure her, because he knew that it has more influence with a jury to examine a witness before them, as they frequently go to rleep while tions are being read. Court—W hat do you say ofan commision ? Mr. Van Buren said they jaly desired it to be so. In reference to the expenses of Mra. Forrest, he would remark that Mr. Forrest is allowing her $1.500 a ear. which is about balf his available income, however, ¢ would not see her deficient for a fee for coungel. With reference to the character of Ann Flower, Mr. Van Buren Mrs. Forrest. Mr. O'Conor further remarked, that the delay of thirt; days would throw the case over to October. On the 2th of June. the judges would not yo 4 cause of any great length, and it was merely pe that a court ‘would be sitting then, If, however, the commission was granted, the question was whether the court would im- pose on Mr Forrest to pay Mra. Forrest's counsel feer, and, if be should go, that he be also compelled. to enable his wife to attend at the examination. Mr. Van Buren—We agree to that, for Mr, Forrest hae not the slightest intention of going. The per- | fone ramed by the defendant for the comunission, are Jacob Barker, Eeq , the particular friend of Mrs. Forrest; the Tlon, Thomas Siidell, one of the associate justices of the Supreme Court of Louisiana; and the Hon. Mr. Cald- well, the Recorder of the city of New Orleans, Mr. O'Conor observed that it may be t will eucceed in his application to which restrains him proceeding in the Pennsylvania suit Court—If the commission is granted, may it not be on the condition that he should not proceed with that ruit. | Mr. Van Buren said he would wish to be heard on that Fubject Mr. O'Conor—The counsel for the defendant insist that we cannot possibly maintain that injunetion. It may be nd the q fon is, them, whether thie court will that grace and favor now sought toa party who no right to demand it!

Such decree will be valid in the of Penneylvania, but will be valid nowhere else. Mre. Forrest could not travel through the State of Penn- ‘ylvania witout all the disad of a degraded and diated wife, while all her rights would remain to her 'y other State, Is is strange that. while the law referred to as existing in that State book, they should not, in Pennesyly: reeognire similar laws in other States in reference to themselves, They do not allow that a divorce granted in another Btate, against a resident of Pennsylvania, is | binding in Penneylvania ‘ourt—But a divorce granted in this State, if both par- ties rerided here, would certainly be valid throughout the whole United States Mr_O Concr—Precisely; and in this case we contend that Mr, Pc rrest is not « resident of Peonsyivania. Coun- eel again asked that the Court would not grant the eom- mission On Mr. Van Buren rleiag to reply, the Judge said that he might take itfor granted that the commission would oa. ata. nd be allowed. 90 that eov would confine himeelfto an argument asto the toms pon Which it, should iseue.

Arn calls om | Mrs, Forrest. in New Orleans in 1848, and corresponds with her in 1820 in New York. Where then is the col- juricn? Is it between Ann Flower and Mrs. Forrest, or~ between Mr. Forrest and this girl? As to the charge of” dclay, there bas not been one ivstant of delay on oe of the defendent up to yesterday. ‘There never has beer 4 motion in the suit called ‘on, that he was not ready, out: of ccurt hours, between them, in the morning avd in the « afterncen. cr at apy other time, Now, the other side said they we dy. yet in a few minutes Mr, O'Conon™ will maken motion Fefbre the court for a ¢ jon to» examine Mr, Forney. and then be has to get his spectab jury. ‘There are, therefore, strong grounds in any event. for supporing. even if the defendant did not make this application, that the ease should go over till October. As to the case of Willis aguinst Forrest, some suggestion: | hes been thrown out in the affidavit that there was e- desize on Mr. Forrest's part to get this cause behind that. What are the facts? That cause came on for trial; the’ plaintiff went through bis case, and the cownsel (Mr OC.) raid he was attending to it, to wateh that the» | virtue of Mrs Forrest rhould not be assailed, Mr. O'Conor denied that he had said so, Mr. Van Buren tended that he had. Counsel then’ alluded to the eminent counsel, Messrs. F. B. Cutting: and Sax dferd, who were also engaged on behalfof: Mrs, Ferrest, though he did not pretend to designate the sources from whence her expenses are derived. He sub- mitted that it was unreasonable that Mr, Forrest should be asked to allow apy further expenses ; he had given. her $1,600 a year, which 1s half his available income ; and as to his mansion in Westchester, that is one of the causes why his income is diminished. he having expended! alarge rum of money on that establishment, which he expected to be a home, and where he hoped to enjoy do- mestic happinces; but be is now a resident of Penn- sylvavia with his’sisters, Afcer some further remarks upen the fuets of the case, Mr, Van Buren submitted that the only proceeding now pending, in which Mr. | Forrest could get a divorce from his wife, was that suit in Penneylvania, ‘The Judge—You could institute a suit here against Mrs. Forrest. and the Court could give permission tov have both tried at once, Mr. O'Conor—We would join issue. Mr. Van Buren—Mr. Forrest has brought his suit in Pennsylvania, inthe State where he was born; and of which he is now a resident, and he did not think New York had any right to the fee simple of the case. He therefore submitted that there was no indulgence asked for, and that, notwithstanding Mrs, Forrest's oath in the cause. that there was no witners of hers in Philadelphia, Mr. O°Conor is now going to apply for a commission to examine Mr, Forney there, Mr. O'Coner said that he had discovered those facts since that affidavit was made, An application was then made, by Mr. 0’Conor, for a commission to examine Mr. Forney, which was not op- posed by Mr. Van Buren, and was, therefore, ed. ‘The Court announced that in the case of the applica- tion for the commission to examine Ann Flower, the de- cision would be given on Wednesday morning. and re- marked that if the commission would delay the trial till October, he should not give the order for the struck jury until that trial term, | Flower was guilt Theatrical and Musteal. Gex’s Concrnt.—To-morrow night the con- cert at Tripler Hall will be very interestin, » its object being to illustrate the new system of notation which is now known as Von Heeringen’s system, and which is rapidly gaining favor throughout the country. This system is fur more simple than the old one, and it ix contended that it will eventually displace it. when it has been introduced into educational inetitutions. ‘There are more than 4 thousand pupils in this city who are now devoted to Von Heeringen’s black and white notes, aud it fs quite certain that ‘they cam read music much more readily than pupils of the same capacity and ad- vantages under the system so long in vogue.
