AN insuperable collision has occurred be tween the United States Federal officers and the Mormons, and the Federal Government has to deal with a new case of difficulty. It cannot be considered one of danger to the Unios, l l unless by possibly serving as a rallying point few discontents of other kinds. This is not probable, however; and the world will presently see that the WOOS is altogether an individual one, and that any Was It may give at Washington has nothing ohalever to do with the increase in the number at goobers of the Confederation. We need not relate the history of the Mormon& By this time, most people know it ; and all wo have to do with here is their aspect in their Federal • lotion. They were at first citizens of old States-. Ohio, Missouri, and Indiana. Eleven years age. after Jos Surto was dead, they passed the Using States frontier, under the leadership of their ggies• autocrat, BRIGHAM Yorwo. While thewoo aas tually encamped beyond the boundary, Figineal Government served on them a requisition far alb ma to serve in the war with Mexico. The demandooset• plied with, readily and without reolostramse.lhae. it overthrew for the year their plan et teoigeaffgaegai caused great lose of life and properirOnneg people, who were regarded as i by eb. Indians. Ten yews ago the wales's& •ea lA* was effected, and in another year dr sissei sattbs ment, on the Weber river, was organise& In 1849, the material condition and prospects to the peopte being considered secure, they provide& ales with a system of civil government, haviag been hitherto under the ecclesiastical rule of their Elders. A Convention, composed of all citizens who chose to come from the part of Upper California which lies east of the Sierra Nevada, adopted a Constitution which was to remain in force till the Government at Washington should provide, as usual, a Territorial Administration. This provisional "Dtate of Deseret" followed the ordinary pattern i its scheme of Government ; and all its officiale bound by oath to support the Constitution of the United States. A Delegate was sent to Con gress, with a memorial presenting the claims of Dement to admission as a State; the population being a l re ady sufficiently large to carry it over the ordinary preparatory stage of constitution as a Territory. This part of the claim was disallowed, and the settlement was admitted under the title of Utah Territory. It was not concealed that this in stitution of civil government wee a t precautionary mea sure, adoped only because " Geniks were ex pected to Sock in to share the material prosperity of the Saints. The teligious leaders were at ones and always chosen to Ml all the civil offices ; sal the republicanism of the Mormons was a 11110 matter of prudence, and not at all of principle se patriotic feeling. It must be remembered, too, that there is in the heart of all the original Mormons, at least, a bitter rancour against the Federal GOVOTIM meta for having failed to protect them in past dams of great strew The healing measure gnegensis under these circumstances, was the appohttalast 1111 BRIGHAM YOUNG as the first Governor of the Ter ritory, and the PRESIDENT appointed him sego& For a few years matters looked well on the while. Strangers were hospitably received at the cur. awl some of the best qualified reporters—Engineer Offiers, sent by Government to make surveys, Law Offioen, sent to institute and administer the Coerto ate.--testified to the honest and peaceable Sharaetw of the citizens, and the able administration of Omar nor YOUNG. By 1833, however, it was observed that some fatality betel every party of "Gentiles" wild* showed any strength, or remained any time. Kau des by the score were attributed by the Mormons to the Indians. The late Judge of the Supreme Court now asserts them to be the work of BRIGHAM YOUNG and his coadjutors. Time will show whether the tremendous allegations of this Judge are worthy of ar,y degree of credit. Meanwhile, BRIGHAM YOUNG has sufficiently proved that, if he is to decide the matter, Utah shall not be a member of the American Union. He decrees that no attention is to be paid to any law of Congress which is not sanctioned by the Church in his person ; and he has countenanced, if net instigated, the destruction of all the Records and Papers of the Supreme Court. He countenances all insults offered to Federal officers, and pardons, as Governor, all Mormon offenders convicted before the Courts. Several murderers, being Mormons, have been thus pardoned by him ; and he has, there fore, no right to c.irnplain if he is charged with complicity in the murders by which the "Gentiles" have for some time peat been rapidly weeded out from among the saints. Judge litiu:ateosio, who has given expression to these charges, has of course resigned his office of Judge of the Territory of Utah. In the District Court (also • Federal Court) the bench was oecupit d by a seeding laormon--Judge STILES ; and only two znimabsrs the bar were " Gentiles." By sheer violenee—i• prisonment and threats of instant death—the Judge was compelled to break up the court and dis miss the jury; the two " Gentile " lawyers were struck off the roll of their profession, sad the United States Court was closed-certainly never to he opened again under the existing roigime. This bappoied at the end of March ; and Binomial YOENG has since expelled all the Federal officers in the territory ; thus making his defiance of the Government complete, and settling the question which troubled anxious minds—whether American citizens of the ordinary sort were to sit side by side with polygamists and idolaters in Congress? The question which is not yet settled is, What is to become of the Mormons? The PRERIDENT and his Administration have good reason to believe that, amides the " Gentiles" settled in Utah, and not yet elves out, there are multitudes of nominal Mor ales who will be thankful for rescue from the tyranny they are living under; and opportunity will be afforded for their declaring themselves. A "Gentile" Governor, supported by a complete staff of Federal officers, and backed by 'sufficient military force wider the command of General HARNEY, will call on all the residents to speak their minds freely —erhether to adhere to BRIGHAM YOUNG, Ur to place themselves under the protection of the laws Of the United States. The vast preponderance et women in the Mormon community imparts a ro• markable aspect to the affair. It is anticipated that tens of thousands of them will accept release from a lot which must truly be an insufferable one to women of European birth and rearing. Whether the Mormons will fight for their position, or migrate once more, will soon appear. They spontaneously gave the American Government • right to deter mine the destiny of their Territory by applying for adraimion to the Union ; and they must now decide between obedience to the Government and quitting the territory of the United States. Meantime, the theoretical difficulty about the admission of such an odd fish into the shoal is at an end; and it only iv mains for the l'anstnelts . and his coadjutors to re store order and obedience by the strong hand. WHIN a coquette of a certain age, forswearing flirtations, assumes airs of prudery and devotion, the world is seldom disposed to entertain • very exalted notion of the motives which have brought about so remarkable a change. In like manner, we have serious misgivings as to the cause and perms, nence of the new epidemic of morality which is breaking out in Paris. The speculating public—and the phrase is sufficiently comprehensive, for it includes all classes, from the minister to the market woman—seems awakening to the fact that gambling is a great social evil. The haunters of the Baum have had their saturnalia of speculation, and they taw begin to talk of the error of their ways sad maim prudent resolutions to "forswear sack owl am cleanly" henceforward. The Government against Bonne gambling, dramatists gilles= culators on the stage, grave men write begs Ws lie national demoralised= it produces, and, ferny, ear didates introduce it in their election manifestoes as one of the abuses to be put down. The new morality is becoming a fashion, and will probably last as loth as most fashions do. We are not disposed to rank if as anything higher, for the simple reason that, whim temptation is removed and obstacles are enaslyd, tie abstinence from any favourite vice is no prod eff diminution in the taste for it. For a time, it is clear that the days of premium manufacture are at an end, and that " concessions" are somewhat of a drug in the market. The office et an agent de change has ceased to be saleable fee 80,0004., awl folks begin to sneer at the Bourse-made millionaires who can no longer carry a cringing crowd with them on the road to fortune. Even the Credit Mobilier itself has lost some of its prestige" and the retirement of M. MIRES from financial life is attrL bated to the scandal of the Roman railways afar, and to a conviction that no more premiums are to be 1 1 extracted on a grand scale from the pockets of the, multitude. The first blow at this colossal evil of speculation was struck by the Governs cwt, wifi was horrified at finding that the Protabrir stein it had created had thriven alarm ingly, and was growing unmanageable. So a Mew was promulgated forbidding the formation of pay new Joint Stock Companies. Then came another, regulating the management of limited liability societies ; and the legislation was by no means un called for. The rascalities of the Napoleon Duck and other companies were public talk, though they had not yet been aired in a court of justice ; and happy were those Societe+ en Cornmandite whom accounts would bear close investigation. The Drama came to the assistance of the Legislature, and the plays of " La Bourse " and " L'Honneur et l'Argent," were soon followed by the " Question d'Argent," by A. DMUS the younger. The most serious on slaughts on the promoters of speculation were, however, the law fixing a tax for entrance into the Bourse, and the recent decisions of the Courts of law, to the effect that --.stion entered into by men who had only in view the payment of diff erenc es—vino, in fact, bAted on the rise or fall of prices—was punish able by a heavy fine. The game has become too d a ngerous, so the speculative world, the multitude who dreamed of large fortunes based on no capital, has turned moral, denounces its former doings as highly objectionable, and dares to praise and patro. nise the literary men who find great speculators profitable subjects to be held up to ridicule and con- tempt. The latest achievement of this character is by 0. DE VALLEE, Advocate-Oeneral of the Imperial Court at Paris, and it is entitled " LesManieurs d'Ar gent"—the handlers of money. The object of the book is stated by the author to be "to exhibit the wound which is destroying society, and which hourly becomes deeper and more dangerous." "We contemplate" (he says) " daily, a debasing spectacle of gambling, speculation, and usury." On this text he preaches at considerable length, comparing the speculative mania of the present time to that of LAW, and prognosticating a like result. It is somewhat amusing to read the querulous defences and &polo -1 gics for speculation put forward by the so-called "industrial journals," d propos of M. DE VALLEE'S book, and their complaints of the bard measure they receive at his hands. They clearly feel that their combs are cat. Their occupation has been foe months and years to prophesy and to create a perpetual rise in prices, and, after one set of speculators has been exhausted, to inveigle in a fresh set of dupes by professions of being able to point out to a certainty under which thimble the pea lies. But their eloquence has lest its charm ' the whole tribe of courtiers 'war rens, and eoulissiers, are in consternation at the evident risk they run in carrying on illegal transac tions. The smaller fry are figuring at police-courts , for fraud, and the reputation of the fraternity is 1 being blown upon. And now one of the organs of " industrial enterprise" laments that the author of the " Handlers of Money" should have been "carried away by the unrellecting reaction which for some time past has been manifested in certain social circles against the industrial movement." If we are to believe these gentlemen, the Bourse is the very min of France, the giver of life and wealth, and they its high-priests and public benefactors. The Journal des CAessaiws de Per even went farther— it denounced the Legislature u a public enemy for checking speculation, and received a " warning" in ocieseqeence; but the "Avocet Central" is handled as gently by the organs of the Bourse gentlemen as though he were a hedgehog. The truth is that they no longer feel themselves the great financial powers they were, or that others believed them to be. The public has lost its money pretty freely, and the gilded mansions and princely establishments of the Boursiers leave no room fur doubt as to whither it has gone. A new excitement moreover, that of the elections, is supplying the place of the fluctuations of prices, and share business is getting into a more legitimate channel. The Bank of Franco seems to be in no hurry to re-open the gates of Paradise for these men who made the rise and fall by announcing its intention to lend liberally on stock and shares. The various manoeuvres by which concessionaires and promoters grow rich have been rather too liberally displayed in courts of justice; and the public nibbles very cau tiously at any new scheme, though highly Winded by the " industrial journals," and advertised in the very largest of type. The names of Cridit Mobilier, directors and yfrants of railway journals, are no longer potent spells to conjure withal, and the needy crew who haunt the Court of the Tuileries must find some other resource than concessions of railways to supply the means of continuing their extravagance. Even against them the popular cry of reform is being loudly raised, and the candidates for the suffrages of the Liberal voters advocate retrenchment of the monstrous expenditure of the State, and a check to the stimulus of mere speculation. How long this fit of reason may last we cannot tell, but we are fully convinced that nothing could more effectually benefit the financial condition of the country than an active prosecution of this new crusade against those who have so long fattened on the gambling tendencies of the Parisian population.

The third circumscription, which has elected General Cavaignac, consists of the quarter of the Palais Royal and that of the Boulevard Bonne Neu velle,with the faubourgs Montmartre and St. Denis. The fifth circumscription, for which M. Carnet is returned, comprises the quarters of the Ports St. Martin, the Temple, St. Martin des Champs, and a portion of Belleville. THE PENINSULAR MAILS. (aT ELECTRIC TILLORATE) SOUTHAMPTON, TEETERS'. The Alhambra, with the Peninsular mails, has arrived. She leR Lisbon on the 19th inst. She has brought fißy-five passengers. Amongst her cargo is specie to the value of 2,4631. Her Majesty's ship Princess Royal was at Lisbon. From Lisbon we learn that the apostolic nuncio had given a diplomatic dinner, at which the foreign ministers were present. The concordat is to be brought before the Cortes in open session by the government. The tobacco contract is to be put up to auction for three years. The grape disease has mado its appearance. The salt pits at St. Übe' promise to afford an abun dant supply. The weather has been wet and stormy, and the price of bread has risen. The olive trees promise a plentiful yield. The disease in the orange trees has been arrested. Exchange on Lon. don is 3 higher than by last packet. Owing to the large supply of Brazil paper the Stock market continues dull. From Gibraltar we learn that her Majesty's steam sloop Vulture had returned from a cruise on the Riff coast, and was preparing for another cruise to Tangiers. The American bark Nevada left Gibraltar for Genoa laden with cannon, which have been sent from the citizens of Boston to the fortress of Ales sandria. The Spanish steamer Douro was wrecked on the coast of Catalonia. SAXE-GOTHA. The Diet of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha, in its sit ting of the ISth, adopted unanimously the proposi tion for a complete union of the two Duchies of Gotha and Coburg. The diet was immediately afterwards prorogued. It is supposed that the Diet of Saxe -Coburg will vote in the contrary sense• AUSTRIAN ITALY. The Bilanria of Milan publishes a pastoral letter addressed by the Bishop of Bergamo to all the faith ful of his diocese, in which he accuses the Ga:etta di Bergamo of immoral and irreligious tendencies, and forbids every one to read or circulate the said journal, or to contribute to it. The letter concludes with invoking the aid of the magistrates and of all the civil authorities in support of the views contained therein, in virtue of Art. 9 of the Concordat. THE GREAT SIBERIAN RAILW:I4.—The Abeilie &Nord, of St. Petersburg, discus°o the advantages of a communication ?mid the world, beginning with a railway crossing Siberia in the direction of Irkutsk, and which, in the opinion of that journal, will be oonatroctsd sooner or later. It points out the utility of such a commercial commu nication, which would unite to Euro the Ruskin rail ways, the commerce of Central Ana, C hi n , and Japan. The EuAratco line, and that of Sum, are, says that journal, only aural to Ragland, and ths Panama route &es not offer the sdessibmes to be reported hum a railway in Siberia, Which would be in the power of Russia. It is adcbd that no want of sorority neidbs feared in Rum* as may be the eels on the Bughntse end Sant lbw. THE DISTRIBUTION OF THE VICTORIA CROSS. —_ In reply to some questioning last night, Sir B. Ball said that he bad made errangsmenta foe providing as much accommodation so poenble for the distribution of the Order of Valour by the Queen, on Friday nett, in Hyde-perk. There would be a centre compartment for the Queen, and two orimrs on the right and on the left to accommodate the corps diplomatique, the others of state past and present, dis tinguished laymen, and military officers, including the rela tions of throe who were to receive the decoration.

Yeeterday orders were forwarded to the commanding Acne of regiments in which those gallant conkers and men who have been minted for their bravery to wear the decora tion of the Victoria Cross may be nerving to send them per railway to the metropolis.

HER MAJESTY'S DAY ) DRAWING ROOM.-(77118 This afternoon, at two o'clock, her Majesty held • drawing room at Bt. Jsmee's Palace. The great incon venience and annoyance experienced from the crowding on the bat occasion, if foiling to reduce the attendance to-day, had the effect of briogiag many from their home at an early boar. Several carriages took up their position before eleven o'clock, and at twelve the line extended from the palace to the top of St. Jamee'a-strost. The morning was extremely warm, and the time thus spent by the Maas can scarcely be included amongst the pleasant momenta of the day. Jc'l 22.

(PROM OUR OWN CORREISPONDZIM) PARIS, MONDAY Eva-vise. As was anticipated, the polling places have been much more crowded to-day than they were yesterday. Very many electors who originally did not mean to vote felt themselves carried away by the prevailing excitement, and took out their cards at the last moment. I will not offer any conjecture about the result, because my letter will be anticipated by the telegraph with positive news. We shall know to-night, not indeed officially, but with sufficient certainty, who is elected for l'aris, and the results of very many polls in the departments will come by telegraph to-morrow morning. The elections in Paris have gone off with the greatest order and tranquillity. Very strong military guards were stationed at all the :dairies, but no occasion arose for their active services. If however, everything passed off quietly and apparently legally at the dairies, the same thing cannot be said of the electoral operations all over the town. I have it from an undoubted source, that at ' Belleville, yesterday, the distributors of the opposi tion candidate's bulletins were set upon and beaten by some ill-looking fellows not known in the locality. The police interfered, but only to arrest the distributors, and let the aggressors go free. A similar incident occurred at the same hour in an other section of the same circumscription. The bulletins bearing the name of M. F. de Lasteyrio were taken away from the persons legally employed in hawking them, and the men were arrested. After this was done, an elector volunteered to distribute the opposition bulletins, but he had scarcely begun his functions when he was struck with a bludgeon on his back, and seized by a sergent-de-ville, who carried him off to the nearest guardhouse. The men thus most foully and illegally arrested were kept in custody five hours, and were only at last released in consequence of the active exertions of the opposition candidate himself. The bulletins in their possession were, however, all de stroyed. At Nanterre some distributors of opposi tion bulletins were ordered by the gendarmes to leave the commune. This morning a police agent entered the house of an elector in Belleville without any warrant, made • search, and on finding bulle tins bearing the name of M. F. do Leateyrie, he seized them. Other facts of the same nature are reported. They must be attributed to the over zeal of certain functionaries, for they are directly contrary to the instructions issued by the government. As a fact showing the extreme anxiety of the go vernment to bring their men to the poll, I may mention that in the course of the night a return was made out of all the electors of Paris who did not vote yesterday, and a circular, accompanied by a bulletin for the government candidates, was sent to them this morning. The Bre Noureiie of La Rochelle publishes a complaint by M. Fabius Filippi, an opposition can didate, setting forth that the men employed by him to placard his address had been threatened with ar rest by the commissary of police, who, assisted by the garde champktre, bad torn down his ad dresses from the walls in the presence of many witnesses; that his son having called on the mayor to complain of these outrages, could obtain no redress, but had been called a mountebank, and that for all these and many other still more serious reasons, he protest' against the election of General Vast Vimeux, the government candidate. The Prefect of the Gcrs has suspended M. Gounon, the mayor of Banc, for coming forward as an opposi tion candidate. The Mayor of Bordeaux announces in a " commu nicated note," inserted in the journals of that city, that he intends to apply to the Belgian government to prosecute the Indipendanee Beige for having cir culated the false news that he bad sent a bribe of Bfr. to several electors, together with their electoral card. The origin of the story, be says, must have been this;—lie lately received from M. Lacoste, a notary, the sum of 3,600 fr. to distribute in charity He wrote to the cures and protestant and Jewish mi nisters of the fourteen parishes in Bordeaux to ask for the names of the most needy among their pa rishioners, and distributed the money pursuant to their recommendations. It may have happened that some electors may have received relief from this fund, but none of them could have received it with their electoral cards, for the distribution was made by a different officer. The Bourse was very firm all day. The nomina tion of M. Fould to the Ministry of Finance, ad interim, during the absence of M. Magne, gave confidence to buyers, as it is considered certain that be wiU combine measures with M. de Germiny to easo the money market. The Bente rose 25c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 88fr. 63c., and 68fr. ise. Mobilier rose 10fr. The railways were pretty well supported. Orleans rose 10fr. ; Northern and Eastern sfr. each; Lyons, 7fr. 50e.; Southern and Western, 2fr. 50e. each ; Mediterranean fell 21r. 50e. More business than usual was done in foreign railway shares. Austrian was in great demand, and rose 7fr. 50c. A telegraphic despatch has been published by the sub-prefect of Pau, announcing that the treaty had been signed with the Southern Railway Company for the Pyrenean lines. In the Paris corn market during the past week business has been exceedingly calm, and prices have varied but little. The four marks still remain nomi nally at 74fr., as they were last week, but purchasers cannot be easily found for lots of any importance at above 73fr. 50e. Wheat bee followed the example of flour, and remains nearly without alteration in price. The beat qualities were quoted at 42fr. and 43G., and inferior at 40fr. and 41fr. 50e. Tho country markets present a slight decline, but tho farmers seem but little inclined to offer their stocks for sale. PROPOSED BANNING ALLIANCE.—The Journal des Actiowediret contains an article recommending that an understanding should be come to between the different great hanks of Europe, for the means which they may think it ad visable to adopt to lesion the intensity of any monetary crisis. A common and of such a nature would, it con ceives. prevent many financial difficultier , The fret condition of such in accord would be, it says, to get the notee of the various es received freely in the different coun tries; and, RA a commeacemeat, the Berke of England and France ought to accept their respective paper. The same journal also recommends se a useful measure to have the public funds of the two countries quoted reciprocally at Paris end London.
