Tocker moved, as a further amend- ment, the sum be $2,000, and ‘that n> portion of it shall be expended for stimulating drinks. Alterman Vooruis thought that as all the rum shops would be closed on that day, end as there would be no drink on the table but cold wator, a smuller eppropris. fevers be ‘sufficient for Sieworks and other demon- ops. Alderman Hexnick was in favor’of the most liberal speoninues for the celebration of the glorious Fourth of July, and he hi the friends of ‘3am’? in the Board, ‘would vote against apy amendment made to reduce thi appropriation for the celebration of thst day, the recur. rence ef which they all looked to with pleasure ani Alderman Wa.

OUBLING—THE PLURALITY WIFE QUgS: TION—WHY IT I8 ADVOCATED, AND WHAT THE WOMEN THINK ABOUT MORMON FAITH AND PRAO- TICE. The ship 8. Curling landed at the deck foot of Moat- gomery street, on Tuesday afternoon, havirg on board 678 pa:sengers, all Mormons, bound for Salt Lake City, Utah Territory. A visit was paid the vessel yesterday, from which we have learned a number of curious par- ticulars concerning this remarkable people (for they ar» ® people in themselves), whose origin, rise, perstcution and progress have been attended by so maby strange and starthng events, and whose religious faith is one of the mort extraordinary manifestations of this extra- ordinary age. Wkatever may be said as to the faith or cocial habits of this people, there is no question bat that they are a temperate and cleanly sect, and to this fact the ship they came over in bore abundant evi- dence. The decks were remarkably clean, being kept so by the emigrants, and tke officers of the ahip say their arrangements for securing the comfort of the Passengers were admirable, and displayed rare adminis- trative kill. - ‘The passengers were divided into seven wards, each under charge cf an elder and two councillors, all of whom acted under the orders of Eider Israel Barlow, President, and Elders Robinson and Perry, councillors. The eubofficers received thelr orcers from the persons above2amed, and then proceeded to put them into exe. cution with despatch, and without unnecessary confu- ‘ion or turmoil. Everything wasGone by the sound of bugle. This was the signal to rise in the morning to pray, to eat during the day, to put out the lights to re- tire—in fact, to perform all their various duties and ex- ercises. This excellent disciple was not without its good effect. The passengers came into port remarka- bly healthy; nor was there any seasickness even, of any aceount, during the voyage. ‘The scene on board the ship was an odd one. The passengers were all retained on board; nor will they leave until means are procured to take them out to Utsh ins body. They crowded around the deck in groups, diecussing their prospects, and scanning curiously every new face that appeared on board—the numberlesa crafts that were gliding up the river, and the movements of the stevecores and sailors on the dock. Every period cf life was represented on board, from pu- ling infawcy to feeble old age. The number of children is very large, and tbe Saints evidently pay devont attention to the seriptural injunction to increase and multiply, and their efforts have been blessed with a most abundant return, In this laudable endeavor they have the cordial co-operation of the other sex—indeed all marriageable woman oa board sppeared to be either mothers or about te become such. The ga by this ship are English and Scotch, a few Welsh, but no Iriah, there being very few Mormon proselyt&s bailing from that country. They are moatly of the poorer class, colliers, mechanics and work. ing peopie from the manufacturing districts of Kugland and Scotland. The women, sa general’ thing, are not hen¢eome, but healthy and Card ,. The peculiar religious tenets of this cect were the sub- ject of several conversations with persons on boar.'."They pelieve in tbe Bible with Jo “mith’s additions, in the Trinity snd ina life after death. Their view of the re- wards and punishments in another state assimilates to the Swedenborgian faith, viz : that we will follow out the ssme conduct, suffer and enjoy, be subject to pain re as our evil or good prosperities predominate fe, The eaints gre of course to comquer the ¢orth, and suddue all ition to the Mormon fait! We endeavored to induce Elder Barlow to give a dednit answer to questions concerning his belief, but though an eirently,cr practical man, as his management of 1ne vessel proved him to be, be seemed puzzled to reply to our ad regarding sezpicioms tenets, “Wherein,” he was ed, “does the faith of the Mormons difter from other sects ?”” “Oh !’? he repiied, ‘‘we believe in truth, aad accept it wherever we find it”? “Yes, but the devotees of every faith say that. Oo what grounds do you advocate polveamy ” Elder Barlow—“ Because we find nothing in the Bible to condemn it, while the holy patriarchs had many wives ard concubines; ard they are our exemplers, ‘There is no text in the Old or New Testament denoaac- ing polygamy, while there ore many that commend {t ” “Well, how about the text that says ‘the bishops sboll bave but one wife ?” Elder Barlow—“ That is very much misunderstood. The bir! are commanded to have one wife, at least, but theze is no prohibition asto the number of wives they msy bave.’’ ‘urtber than this very little light could be got from the Kider, others on toard, of a more commaal- cative turn, we heard many arguments, founded on physiological considerations, to prove that polygamic werrisges, rether than monogamic, are mere in accord- ance with the dictates of nature. They say that du: the prricés of gestgation and lactation—that is, the wfant is veaned—the woman ia uacleao, and shoald be carefully excluded from the company of man. Much physical evil and suffering te said to flow from this cause in monogamic wm: well saan unoatural developement of the passions. Men’s passions, how- go on to say, are ever active, and these i¢ no good reason to be given why they should abstain from giving them their sppropriate ‘action—and thus poly- gemy is nevessitated by the very laws of our boing. Although contending fironely ia favor of a plurality of wives, the Mormons demy that it is practised to an, reat extent among them—one reason being the scarci- 'y of women in Utab, and another the fast that married people wko become converts, are loth to change the so- cial relations they have always lived under. Bat when a pew gentration springs ‘up, the vices now s@ prevalent in our civilization will disappear. Prostitution is said to be unknown in Utah, nor are there any women fit 0 have husbands without them, and thus two giant evils, epforeed celibacy and indescritatnate prostitution, inher- ent in the ver: mework Of our civilization, are done away wit ere sre other grounds to justify thesa strange bea im Une is that the Mormons are a chosen people, and it is their function to increase as rapidly as posible, thus loing the Lords work, ,? we oxe of our informants, a young, in nt man, ‘don’t you find coms difficulty in induc- omen to join your sect; they surely cann yt like to peer tipomngione wives and preside over divided house- 0) ‘+O no ;”’ he replied, ‘‘we bave vei that score.

The pleasure which # person experiences in looking at’ the many building imnrovements wow ding ts wend in the city, suffers considerab'e alloy by witnessing the reckless manner in which some contractors carry on their works. This is very painfully manifest in the in- stance of the new bank now going up in Broadway, in order to replace No. 440, which was burned down, with rome of the adjoining tenements, during the past win- ter. Im this case the contractor is erecting a building five stories high, on the block between Howard and Broome streets, in the most crowded thoroughfare 0° New York, and in the neighborhood of all our principa hotels, without attempting to put up the smallest en closure on the footway, in order to protect passengers frem ths danger, filth, and annoyance caused by his ma- terials, lumber, and hodmen. At 434, cormerof Howard street, commences an accumulation of scaffolding poles, old mortar, flooring joists. bricks, sand, lime, and bods extending about six feet from the sidewalk on Broad- way, and running on the footway up as far aa the hous No. 456, near the torner of Broome street; and ladies in full ézess, children, aged people, and business men, are expected to walk through and over this, because one man is permitted to violate a city orainance with impu- nity. Viewed from 400 Broadway, before a person de- scends to Canal street, this iooks a positive nuisance, yet it has not been complained of by the police, nor was there one in sight of it at noon yesterday, although lives were momentarily endangered from the falling of heap of bricks or rubbish. Muyor Wood would do well to take a look at it, Indeed, it 1s remarkable that at the buildings im Canal street, near Centre, on roadway, at Duane street, and at No. 440 just spoken of, there are no sidewalk enclosures for the protection of life or limb, whilst humble architects ia Hudson street take every precaution to cerry on their works in safety. Is any maz rich enough to violate our city regulations when he pleases’ . Cricket, NEW YORK CLUB VS, PATERSON, N. J. This match was played yesterday onthe New York ground, at Hoboken, ended in a splendid victory for Paterson, with six wickets to go down. Paterson hav ipg won the tose, seat New York in first. Wickets were pitched at 10,20, and by 33 o’clock the game was Snished. On the Paterson side there was some good play from Buchanan, Hallis, Parkins and Law. The bowling of Hallis and Pilkington was beautiful, and the fielding was good. They stated thet several of the‘r beat members were sick—had they been present they would bave beenvery strong. New York must look out for them in the return match. On the New York side, Har- rison made the most off the bat, and there was some goed play from Richards, Porter, Maxwell, Barclay and Spivey.

Before Judge Campbell. BANKRUPTCY AND THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. Davis, Brooks ¢ Co vs. D. J. Townsend and H. L. Kinncy.—The plaintiffs sue cn an open account, amounting to $7,562 63, for goods sold and delivered to the defendants in 1837, who were then residing at Peru, State of Iiinois. Townsend pleaded his discharge in bankroptey, under act of Congress of August, 1841, Colonel Kinney pleaded the statute of six years’ limitation. It was in evidence that Townsend came to re- side in the State of New York in 1840, and resided at Niagara two years, when he obtained his discharge in bankruptcy, and continued to reside there a year and 8 half afterwarda—tbat he removed to Iitinois again in 1843, where he remained four years, and again returned to the State of New York in 1847, where he has since re- ee permenently. It was contended for the in titts that T.’s residence in New York after his ret 0 this State was vot six years, and that consequently the plea of prescription could rot prevail, and thst bia discharge in bankruptcy prevented a joint action by a servico on Townsend, 80 a8 to bind his co.defendant Kinney, who could pot be prevented alterwards from pleading pre- scripiion. i The counsel for Colonel Kinney argued that the return of Townrend to the State of New York worked a ccmmencement of the statute of limitations, which no subsequent disability could affect, because it was such areturn, under the statute, that the plaintiffs, with due diligence, might have been aware of. That the plaintiffs might have obtained a joint judgment agaiast the defendants by a service on Townseai, which would terwsrds bave prevented Kinney from’ pleading the atute of Limitations on an action on euch a juigment. And that such bility to sue must be claar aud evi- dent from the fi 1, to show that they, at that time, would have been defeated and obstructed from bring- ing this action. . That the lapée of eighteen years was a presumption of payment, (is Honor wok the case un- der advizement.
