This Morning’s Summary. ‘The two days’ later advices from Exrope, ro- ®eived by the steamship Atlantic yesterday, pos- Bess considerable interest. It will be observed that the returns of tho Presidential election in France, tonfirm all that we have hitherto said relative to the popularity of Louis Napoleon's measures. Louis bas completely ewept everything before him—be bas been elected President for ten years by an im- metee majority. 1t is not only the tremendous poll in his favor, which establishes the fact of his great popularity—but the manner in which many of the tickets were worded, is a convincing proof, if wone other were wanting, that the voters were almort infatuated in their adoration of the man. The feelings of the people of France sppear to bave been stamped on their ballots, and show that ‘Napoleon the Second,” as ke is styled, is Srst in their hearts. They seem to lock to him alone for happiness and prosperity, and have en- trasted their fature welfare into his keeping. How worthy he may be of this great rerponsibility re- maine for time to prove. The intelligence from other parts of the conti- nent cf Eurepe ie of no special importance. The financial, commercial, and manufacturing ac- oeunte are quite favorable. Notwithstanding that Kossuth kas failed to meet with a very enthusiagtic reception from the itizene, representativer, and others congregated at the national capital, he appears to be quite everrun with ceputations of visiters from other places. On Saturday last, prior to dining with the President, he was waited upon by numerous @elegations, to whom he made some very intereet- img remarks, as will be seen by reference te the telegraphic column. We are gratified te learn from Washingten, that the health of Mr. Clay bse improved so much that there is a probability of his endeavoring to address the Senate, to-day or to-morrow, on the question of Don intervention. Aspeech from the veteran etates- “wan, on this important eubjeet, at the present time, will be read with the most intense interest. In consequence of freshets, no Southern mail has been received for two days. Highly Important from the Mormon Couns try—Progress of the Kew Religton and Polygamy. By a piece of enterprise and rapid expedition, we ave received some of the most interesting intelli- gence from the greatcountry of the West, that has ever been published to an enlightened and an as- tounded world. This news is contained in an ofii:ial yepert made to the President of the United States by the late Judges of the Territory of Utah, developing the condition and character ofthe newre- ligicue and soeial system which has bcen catablished x ory. under the guidance of B. im the Utah te: hsm Young. who, it appeare, claims to have inhe rited the episi power end attributes of the f moze Joe Smith, the founder of the Mormon reii. gon, anda native of Manchester, Ontario county, m thie State. Tt appears that the expelled judges from the ter- ritory, who make this report, have resided in that Tegion for some time past, without exercising any power cr suthority attached to the porition or of fieee which they held, and conferred upon them by the government at Washington. On their @rriving- in that new ‘Holy Land,” Brig! Young, who had been appointed Governor matter of policy, but who wae, in fact, the re- ligious bead of the Mormon Church, gave Getinctly to understand, in etrong and bam emphatic language, that they could exerciee mo authority nor participate in any power daring their residence in that territory. The history which is given in this report of the yas system, tbe political doctrine, and the social habits of the Mormons is, probably, the most extraordinary of any which existe anywhere on this continent—in- Geed, we are not sure that they could be exceeded in their originality, to say nothing of their violent Dostility to the usual principles of Christianity, in gry part ofthe Old World. ( nly thick of againt’s piety being messured by the number cf wives he can rupport and keep in his harem. in the early history of the Mormon religion, and @cring its progress in bio, Miseouri, and Ilin when Joe “mith, ‘iginal inventor, oceupi ehief place in the Church, we have beard frequent intimations of the practice of polygamy being tolerated by the Chicis of the Church, and seme- times granted as a Fpecial privilege to come of the inferior members of the cect. Indeed none occasion, we rom the violent pereecutions of Joe Smith, and asa justification for the outrag committed on him, that ke actually posseesed two or three wi his own harem. This, however, was denied at th time, though from the present developemente of the sentiments of the Church which now exists at Utah, the statement was probably founded ia tr It ie evident, however, by this report no e pre- sented to the President, that polygamy of the most | extraordinary character constitutes a leading fea- ture in the new religion of the Mermon eetablished and making rapid progress in Lake region of the Weet. Jt appeare that every man belonging to that church is allowed to possess as many wives as he can conveniently support ; and the Frincpal head of the church—Lrigham Young maself —has, it ecems, thirty or forty, perhaps fifty, wives in hie seraglio. and it is said that he drives through tho country with belf a dozen around him, eash one with « baby in her arms, and sometimes presenting mother and daughter in the same category of wives to the holy prophet addition to these new social features in this religious developement, it weems that the robbery of the public money, the plunder of the treasury, and the monopoly of legal suthority, are all practised there, under the religious regimé, with perfect impunity from any quarter The extraordinary developements mado in this report; the social system it exhibite as existing in Utah ; the religious principles promulgated there : the mode in which all authority is exercieed by the thief man and prophe: among them, all present the mort singular of the world.

Whst becomes of the effects of all these appliances of civilisation, when we behold is the midet ef this civilization, the rapid progress of such doctrines and euch a religious eyetem as we have seen set on foot by Joe Smith in Ontario county inthis State, snd the growth which it has attained daring the last few yeare up to this dey? Here is an im. mense populatien cn the confines of civilization, withdrawing themselves ircm the centre of this country, forthe purpose of establishing a religious eed and a social system, almost counterparts to those which existed among the eastern nations of the werld, before the age of Moses, during those pstriarckal ages, when every chief of a horde could have as many wives and concubines ae he chose. It really seems as though this great, enlightened and civilized age, both in Europe and America, is going back to the principles and practices which existed in the world two or three thousand years ago. From the time cf Lamech, who first took two wives, to the time of Solomon, with six hundred wives and three hundred concubines, we may select the models and the principles which are new begin- ning to prevail in an important community—in this enlightened, religious, and Christian repablic, im- proved by all tho inventions of the last century. In & few Gays we suppose the President will communicate this extraordinary report, with his views thereon, to Congress. The country will stand etill until it heare what view ie taken of it by the Executive, and what course will be pursued by Congress-in reepect to the facts presented in the do- ccment. Willthe government euccumd to such asect as the Mormons! In the meantime, weskould not be surpriged if even Kossuth and the Koseuth excite- ment should be overshadowed temporarily by the marvellous Mormon developement, startling and as- tounding as it ie, in this advanced and enlightened age of the world. Tre Axr Union in Trovpre.—The famous coup @ état of the Art Union, postponing, contrary to the charter, the regular annual election and the expected wings, will be hardly £0 successial as the great original in France. It looks like Tom Thumb in the breeches of Jack the Giant Killer. Three of the evening journals, and four or five of the Sunday papers, have come out distinctly against the conduct of the Art Union, and ite syetem of management. This is nothing buta specimen of what the public have felt, and now the prese is beginning to epeak. The managers acknowledge to have received over sixty thousand dellare; but Feems, ie Rot enough to meet the exponses— and they want more money, before they can go into ap election, or commence & drawing. In tke meantime, we hope that all those who have been heretofore cubscribders to the Art Union, will notice an advertisement of & committee of gon- tlemen friendly to art, calling for information re- epecting the management of thie institution and the disposition ¢f funds. This committee want to frecure evidence evfficient to bring an injunction before cre of our legal tribunals, against the regime Cf that corporation, and to compel them to disclose the manner in which they have managed ite affairs, and paid away the vast sums of money entrusted tothem. A portion of this money hag undoubtedly, according to the bost evidence, been appropriated to aid silly journals and useless publi- cations, ingtead of being devoted to the benefit of meritorious artists, or the interests of the subscri- bere. We want a full developement of the secret kietory of its transactions forthe lasttwo or three years, and muet have it. Explosion AND RECONSLRUCTION OF THE ITALIAN OpEra—GREaT ExcITEMENT AMONG THE FasHioN- APLES.—It seems that coups d'état, like cholera and Kogsuth, do not come alone. They are the order of the dsy. The Napoleon of opera managers in this metropolis has, accordingly, caught the disease, and had his coupd’état during the last week. The magnificent half broken up troupe of vocalists who have been singing for the last year or twoin New York, and in the city of Havana, exploded a few days ago, between sun down and sun ri One half, under the management of Signor Bosio—the happy husband of Madame Bosio, of the bright eye --has taken possession of Niblo’s theatre, at arent of $000 per week; and the other kalf, with the eplendid Signorina Stefanone, is rallied at the old house in Astor place, under the direction of Ma- retzck himeelf.

The calendars for | the yearare, in seme instances, exceedingly heavy, the number in the Common Pleas running as high ae some- thing over eleven hundred. In the Supreme and Bupe- vier Courts, ae wellas the United States Courte, there is more than an averege amount of butiness. The Decem- ber term cf the branch of the Superior Court, in which Chief Justice Onkley presides, is continued over to turdey next for the purpore of finishing the Forrest di- Vorce trial, by content of both parties, and in pursuance of on order of the Judges in general term, empowering the Chief Justice to do so.

Many yearg sgo, Genet, in the time of the old French republic, attempted the same thing, but mot with very in- different muccees. Hereafter Kogsvth will, therefore, have to proceed in his mission befere the ecvereign people, convert them to his views, and adopt the plan formerly pureued by Lopes in getting up fili- bustero expeditions, and now in progress under the auepices of Kinkel, who is collecting eubecriptions in the West, to aid in a German revolution. Koreuth, however, is @ man of more eloquence and tact than any of these, but we doudt whether bo will be more gucsessful in procaring the aseist™ ance of this country for thé regeneration of Exrope, now altogether eunk under deepotio government. Koreuth is the Lamartine of Hungary, and may be admired for & fine theorist and a beautiful speaker, but heseems gradually to be dieclosing the fact that he ie no more suited for practical stateemanship than Mazzini or Lamartine, or any of the thousands that aspired to it and failed, during the recent re- volutionary etruggics in Eurcpe.

A man was tried in an adjoining county for an alleged offence, by a member of the church, Vereen to be a judge, without jary, and convicted and pun- ished. About the tame time, a cool and deliberate murder wae committed in the territory, upon the body of Mr James Monroe, a citizen of tne United Btates, from Utica, New York, on bie wey to Sait Lake City, by a mem- per cfthe chureB, and the remaine brought into the city end buried, withe mn inguert, the murderer walking through the etreets afterwards, under the eye of the Governor, and im hie soviety—rome of the relatives of the deceased residing there, and members of the church, afraid or disinclined to act.

He met Monroe, who was unarmed, invited him out of hie camp, took a seat and talked helf an bour with bim. and then rose up, and blew his brains out with a pistol. We have no doubt, however, that if he had been tried, an entire acquittal would have followed; es was the result in February last, in the case of Dr. John R. Vaughan, a citizen of Indiana, then on bis way to California, and the murderer suffered to go unpunished. How many other crimes and offences were punished or passed by, we know not, The Governor was thus true to his declaration, that “the United States Judges should never try a cause, if he could prevent it,” for we bad not ax officer to summon @lury, or execute a Warrant, entpena. or any kind of procese, except im cases in which the United States was @ perty, when the Marshal would be bound te act.

It was in this spirit that we preserved silence untii the favorable opportunity above alluded to was presented, when We unanimously concurred in the opinion that it ‘was not only a matter of richt, but also of duty,to have the attention of the people directed to the errors of their pinions, in holding the government of the United States z tizens as enemies to them, end the seekers of $ n and extermination. Such cpinievs were daily inculeated by the leaders of the shure upon the fanati- cal credulity of the maeses of the people.

The act of Congrese required him to have a census taken, £0 a8 to apportion the number of Representatives and Councillors to each county, wut he apportioned them without taking the census. We were informed that acen- sus had been taken when the application wae made by the “ Btate of Deteret,’’ for admission into the Union, but it was fo falee and exaggerated that a correct census would bave betrayed the fraud, Theact further required that he should fx the time and pla end appoint the persons who ebonid evperintend the firet election for ccuncidors, reprenentatives, and a delegate to Congress, the officers intended leaving the territory. The Go- verncr determined to secure these $24,000§ in addi- tion to the $20,000 appropriated for ting buildings, at all bazarde,if he had to take it by viclence. He, therefore, sent cut runners over the territory, and secre! notices to the members in the city, to meet in two or three days thereafter. They met accordingly on the 22d Sept.; and after spending a part of a week in meeting and adjourning until organized, paeted a formal resolution, peta | and requiring the United States Marshal to de- mand this money from the Secretary, and, if he refused to give it, to seize and imprison him, until he delivered up the whole amount. The Marshal being absent, his deputy, a Mormon, undertook the execution of the order, The Seoretary refused to comply with the demand, and transmitted his reasons therefor in writing. As Gov.

It was placed in the hands of this constable, who, with strong force of thirty men, or more, well armed ani mounted, started in pursuit. with in- stuctions frem the Governor, as we were infcrmed, to “bring Babbitt back dead or alive.” They came upon his, camp about forty miles from the city, sometime in the night, and in the morning Mr. Babbitt and his wives found themselves surrounded by a body of armed men. ‘The carrisger and he tents fearched, and t! the city. lM family ‘and teame to proceed on thelr journey, as a” delay of a few days might overwhelm them ja mow storme, aud repeated trips over the mountains be had alrendy passed, would 60 fatigue and break down his animale, as, at that inte period in the year, to seriously en- danger the lives cf nimeelf and family onthe plains, He at the same time made known his own willingness to re- * turn with them, But their orders from the Governor torn down over the head of his wife—then nursing a eicl baby; his wives ordered into the carriages, and the teama turned back to the city.
