(Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.) JUDGMENT---WANE V. CROCKER, This is an appeal from a decision of the Master of the Rolls, allowing a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill. The de fendant Crocker, in 1855, filed a bill of foreclosure against the plaintiff, Charles Wane, and others, in respect to an estate situated at Aldsworth, in the county of Gloucester alleging that he had acquired a legal right in reversion to that property, expectant on the decease of Thomas Wane, one of the defendants in that suit ; or asking, if Jiles Wane should be held to be a prior mortgagee to redeem him. That bill was dismissed at the Rolls except as to an annuity of £BO, Crocker's right to which was not disputed. On the death of Thos. Wane, Crocker commenced an action at law of ejectment, alleging that his legal rights were not mortgaged, and that it was net affected by the decree at the Rolls— thereupon Jiles Wane filed and presented a bill for the pur pose of restraining the action by injunction. To this bill the defendant Crocker demurred, and the Master of the Rolls allowed the demurrer—hence the appeal. Lord Justice Turner was of opinion that the order of the Master of the Rolls allowing demurrer to the plaintiffs bill was right, and ought not to be altered ; the defendant had a right to proceed in his action at law. Lord Justice Knight was of the same opinion, but if the plaintiff had asked to amend his bill his llordship would have allowed him to do so, but ho did not ask to amend his bill. Their lordships dismissed the appeal with eoats. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Mr. Justice Wightman and a Common Jury.) JAMRACH V. SMITH. This was an action brought against Mr. E. T. Smith, the proprietor of Cremorne Gardens, by the plaintiff, for the purpose of compelling him to carry out the contract entered into with him respecting the money to be paid for the ex hibition of wild beasts at Cremorne. The defendant's answer was that he had paid the plaintiff for one of the weeks, namely, £5 15s. 6d., and that for the other, the only question in diepute, he had paid £6 into court as sufficient. Mr. Jamrack, a naturalist and menagerist, said a number of lions, tigers, monkeys, &c., were brought over from Paris, and sent to Cremorne-gardens, of which Mr. Simp son was the proprietor. They were placed on the esplanade, and he was to have half the money received from parties go ing over the bridge for their exhibition. He was to pay for the keep and care of the beasts. It cost £l4 or £l5 a week. The takings never ca me up to what it was supposed they would. When the female Blondin came the attendance was very great. He considered he was entitled to have half the proceeds as usual, but this was objected to ; and as he had no new understanding with Mr. Smith, the new proprietor, he considered the old contract in force. This the defendant objected to. The trial was proceeding when we went to press. THE PRICE OF GOLD. RAILWAT , !: AND PUBLIC CO..4IPANIES The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille prem., and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in London and in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 to 109 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange is against England. But, after making allowance for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission of gold to the United States. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1862.

J. Byng, in the chair. Mr. S. SMILES, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report was taken as read. It stated that the receipts for the half year ending the 31st December last amounted to £355,504, and the expenditure to 1324,097. The receipts hay: been derived principally from calls and prepayments of calls on the company's shares, and the exercise of the borrowing powers under the original Act. The principal items of expenditure had been in respect of land and compensation, .0203,294 ; of the Hungerford-market purchase £50,000, and for works, 155,680. Possession of the whole of the land required for the purpose of the works situated between the south bank of the Thames, opposite Hungerford, and the east end of Ewer-street, Southwark, had been obtained and cleared of its building materials, and arrangements for the remaining property, up to Wellington street, London-bridge, were far advanced towards completion. The company had also obtained pos session of the southern portion of the Hungerford market property, on the north side of the river at Hungerford, to enable the northern abutment of the bridge to be proceeded Ni ith, and negotiations were in progress for the purchase of the requisite property in the Strand and in Vitliers street for the new terminal station at Char- ing-cross. The company had been compelled to purchase the whole of the St. Thomas's Hos pital property. The only part of that property re quired for the purposes of the railway was the cor ner of the hospital garden, forming the angle situated at the junction of the South Eastern incline with Wellington-street, Borough. Notice was given of the company's intention to purchase such portion of the hospital land, but the governors having ob tained an injunction in Chancery, restraining the company from proceeding with the purchase of a part only, the value of the whole property was re ferred to arbitration, as provided by the Land Clauses Consolidation Act. The amount originally claimed by the governors of the hospital was 1;750,000, and the amount awarded by the umpire appointed by the Board of Trade, Mr. J. Stewart, of Liverpool, was £296,000. This amount the com pany proposed to pay over forthwith and take pos session of the hospital, in order that the railway works might be proceeded with. The directors of the South Eastern Railway Company, who were to work the line when opened for traffic, having re quired that the city terminus should be constructed without delay, the necessary steps had accordingly been taken to serve the legal notices for the pro perty required for that part of the railway, and arrangements had been made for proceeding with the works, including the bridge across the river to the new city terminus in Cannon-street, as soon as possible after such property had been purchased. The directors were using their best efforts to have the line ready for the conveyance of traffic between London-bridge and Waterloo station by the ensuing summer, and into the terminal station at Charing cross by the beginning of next year. The capital account to Dec. 31 last showed that £672,655 had been received, and £572,113 expended, leaving a balance in the hands of the Accountant-General of £100,542. The report of Mr. Hawkshaw, the engineer, stated that the contractor was making satisfactory progress with the works of the rail way. The brick work of the viaduct was nearly completed between Belvidere-road and Collingwood-street, and was generally in an advanced state between Coiling wood-street and Blackfriars-road. Satisfactory pro gress had been made With the manufacture of the ironwork for the street bridges, and the girders were being fixed over Sutton-street, Broadwall, and the South-Western branch crossing of the Waterloo-road. Considerable progress had been made with the Charing-cross bridge over the River Thames. The four openings from the Surrey side to the centre of the river were fininished, excepting the cross girders and the roadway platform ; and as respected the remaining four openings the cylinders of one of the piers, at the far end, had been nearly sunk to their proper depth. The ironwork of the bridge, so far as had not yet been fixed, was gene rally in a forward state. Respecting the Cannon street Extension, since the passing of the Act the line had been re-surveyed, and a property plan had been preparei on a large scale, to facilitate the pur chase of the lands and houses that would have to be taken. The design for the bridge over the Thames at Southwark had been nearly completed, and would be submitted immediately to the Lords of the Admiralty and to the Conservators of the River Thames for their approval. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report and statement of accounts, said they had nearly completed their arrangements for obtain ing possession of the whole of the land and property required for the original line. They had been under the necessity of making arrangements to take considerably more property than was needed for the line. They had also been compelled to purchase tl:e St. Thomas's Hospital under a decision in Chan cery, although when they went to Parliament for their original Act they intended only to take that part of the property at the other corner of the hospital garden which the railway was to cross and they did not propose to touch any part of the building. When the purchase-money was paid they wculd take what they required and dispose of the site, which could not fail to be valuable. The works were rapidly progressing towards completion, and, although there might not at present be much ap pearance of progress at the London-bridge end of the line, he could assure those who had not seen for themselves that a great deal had been done at the west end of the railway, and at the crossing of the river at Hungerford. In the course of a few days from that time the works at the London-bridge end would be in full progress. They were about to take immediate steps to proceed with the city branch into Cannon-street, and in which he trusted they would make some progress by the time they nest met. _ ... APRIL. Kildare Tullamore lB Tullamore MAY. Cork 1 I Galway Hunt 2O Nenagh Howth and Baldoyle Mr. THOMSON seconded the motion for the adop tion of the report. Mr. COLES CHILD called the attention of the auditors to an item of £42,000 in the accounts which he believed should have been only £40,000, and if that were so the balance would be £102,541 instead of £100,541. The Secretary explained that a certain sum had been invested for the special purpose of meeting part of the claim of the Hungerford-bridge Com pany, and the discrepancy would be rectified in the next account. The report and statement of accounts were then unanimously adopted. The retiring directors, Sir J. Duke, M.P., Lord A. Paget, M.P., and Mr. S. Teulon, were unanimously re-elected. Mr. A. BEATTIE, in moving the re-election of Mr. G. Smith, the retiring auditor, proposed that the allowance to the auditors be in in future £25 each per annum. Captain WARREN seconded the motion, and said that it was a most satisfactory matter for a company to have good auditors, and of importanee that they should be paid to do the business well. The motion was carried unanimously. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to raise 1525,000 under the powers of the Charing•cross Railway (City Terminus) Act, 1861, by the issue of new shares of £2O each. It was proposed in the first instance to raise £250,000 in 12,500 shares of £2O each. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors.

ROBBERY BY A WAREHOVSEMAN.—WiIIiam Head, young man, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with steal ing some cloth the property of Messrs. Landon and Co., woollen warehousemen, in whose employ he was as a warehouseman, at No. 10, Old Bond-street. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was in the employ of the prosecutors, and in consequence of an anonymous letter received by the firm, Butcher, 137 C, watched the prisoner from his employers, and on the way to Chelsea, prisoner took from under his coat two pieces of cloth whioh he made into a parcel and then took into a tailor's shop. Butcher then took him into custody and found another piece of cloth secreted on him, and at his lodgings the officer found a number of waistcoat pieces, the property of the prose utors. Butcher asked for a remand, which was granted. The most unnecessary delay took place in calling on the case, the prosecutor being kept waiting a considerable time. Two men were taken into custody this morning with a dog-cart, who are in the practice of calling at jewellers' shops, and while one keeps the shopkeeper engaged at the kerb, the other enters the shop and commits a robbery. The case will be heard at a later hour. HE PRINCE OF WALES.—It is stated that his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales will leave England for the Levant via Trieste about the 13th or 14th of next month, and that his stay in the East will extend over about four months. It was anticipated that the Prince would have taken the most prominent part in the inauguration of the Great Exhibition, but under the above arrangement it is not probable that he will return to this country for some weeks after that event shall have taken place.

The City of the Saints, and Across the Rocky Noun tams to ( alifc7 nia. By Richard F. Burton, author of " A Pilgrimage to El Medinah and Meccah. Longmans and Co. The great city of the Salt Lake, the stronghold of the Mormons, has been described by many writers, all taking their own particular views, and differing widely from each other. Notwithstand ing that the State or district of Utah has been recognised by the Federal Government of the Union, and that the fanatical followers of that clever un principled imposter, Joseph Smith (the martyr), have at length found a resting-place, and to a cer tain extent mollified their extreme hallucination— there still exists a wide distinction between them and other men, both in religion, customs, and habits. Although they are looked upon with feelings of aversian, contempt, and pity, as the case may be, still there is something so peculiar in the organisation of this remarkable sect, living, as, it were (and as was desired by themselves at first) out of the reach of civilisation other than their own, that all take an interest in their history. There is something grand, too, and which com mands respect in the determination, devotion, and self-sacrifice which impelled these devotees to wander over the continent of North America, re pelled on every side as pariahs ; their settlements broken up, their property destroyed, and their families turned shelterless on the world. Cap tain Burton has endeavoured in his interesting volume to depict the peculiarities of this strange people without favour or affection. That he has found it a hard task to arrive at even an approxi mation of the truth in many instances, he informs us at the outset. The opposing witnesses in a petty trial at the Old Bailey cannot contradict each other more flatly than do the Mor mons and anti-Mormons. We may, however, com pliment the author on his success, as far as his description of the country and the habits of the inhabitants are concerned, and give him credit for candour in the expression of his opi nions, although we may not coincide altogether with them. Having determined on a visit to the Great Salt Lake, Captain Burton made his pre parations—his experience of Eastern and African travel made him well aware that a well-armed man, if he cannot always make friends, can at least corn mand'respect. He informs us that for weapons he carried two revolvers, besides a rifle, Bz.c.: and he states that from the moment of leaving St. Jo to the time of reaching Placerville, or Sacramento, the pistol should never be absent from a man's right side—it is hanlier there than on the other—nor the bowie knife from the left. Contingencies with Indians and others may happen, when the difference - of a second saves a man's life. Captain Burton at some length describes the most suitable weapons to choose for various exigencies, also particulars regarding outfits, &1., the study of which would be valuable to those about to undertake any expedi tion where civilisation is not of high order, and the rights of mean: and tuunz only theoretical. After describing the three routes generally taken to cross the continent, with some minuteness, and having selected the least objectionable, the author entered upon his travels, and departed from St. Jo on August 7, 1860 : TIIE START.-THE MAIL COACH IN THE FAR WEST. The mail is carried by a "Concord coach," a spring waggon, comparing advantageously with the horrible vans which once disl,cated the joints of men on the Suez route. The body is shaped somewhat like an English tax-cart considerably magnified. It is built to combine safety, strength, and lightness, without the slightest regard to ap pearances. The material is well-seasoned white oak—the western regions and especially Utah, are notoriously defi cient in hard woods—and the manufacturers are well-known coachwrights, Messrs. Abbott of Concord, N. Hampshire; the colour is sometimes green, more usually red, causing the antelopes to stand and stretch their large eyes whenever the vehicle comes in sight. The wheels are five to six feet apart, affording security against capsizing, with little "gather" and less " dish;" the larger. have 14 spokes and seven felloes •, the smaller 12 and six. The tyres are of unusual thickness, and polished like steel by the hard dry grouni, and the hubs or naves and the metal nave-bands are in massive proportions. The latter • not unfrequently fall off as the wood shrinks, unless the wheel is allowed to stand in water; attention must be paid to resetting them, or in the frequent and heavy " sidlins" the spokes may snap off all round like pipe stems. The waggon bed is sup ported by iron bands or p:Tpendiculars abutting upon wooden rockers, which rest on strong leather thorough braces; these are found to break the jolt better than the best steel springs, which moreover, when injured, cannot readily be repaired. The whole bed is covered with stout osnaburg supported by stiff bars of white oak ; there is a sun-shade - or hood in front, where the driver sits, a curtain behind which can be raised or lowered at discretion ' and four flaps on each side either folded up or fasten e d down with hooks and eyes. In heavy frost the passengers must be half dead with cold, but they care little for that if they can go fast. The accommodations arc as follows :—ln front sits a driver with usually a conductor or passenger by his side ; a variety of packages, large and small, is stowed away under his leather cushion ; when the break must be put on, an operation often involving the safety of the vehicle, his right foot is planted upon an iron bar which presses by a leverage upon the rear wheels,—and in hot weather a bucket for watering the animals hangs over one of the lamps, whose companion is usually found wanting. The inside has either two or three benches fronting to the fore or placed vis-a-vis ; they are moveable and reversible, with leather cushions and hinged padded backs ; unstrapped and turned down they convert the vehicle into a tolerable bed for two persons or two and a half. According to Cocker, the mail bags should be safely stowed away under these seats, or if there be not room enough, the passengers should perch themselves upon the correspondence ; the jolly driver, however, is usually induced to cram the light literature between the waggon bed and the platform, or running gear beneath, and thus when ford-waters wash the hubs, the letters are pretty cer tain to endure ablution. Behind, instead of dicky, is a kind of boot where passengers' boxes are stored beneath a stout canvas curtain with leather sides. The comfort of travel depends upon packing the waggon; if heavy in front or rear, or if the thoroughbraces be not properly "fixed," the bumping will be likely to cause nasal haemorrhage. The description will apply to the private ambulance, or as it is called in the west " avalanche," only the latter, as might be expected, is more convenient; it is the drosky in which the vast steppes of Central America are crossed by the Government employee. While traversing the early stages of the journey the author enlightens his readers upon the pecu liarities of the conveyance and cattle employed on these desolate journeys. Whether for saddle or harness, mules are preferred to horses, being more enduring and able to overcome difficulties which would bring a horse to a stand-still. The journey from St. Jo to Utah is amusingly described by ex tracts from the author's diary. The frequent mis haps and contretemps such as prolonged delays at miserable post-stations, to enable the owners to exact as much as possible from the unfortunate passengers, aggravated by the refusal of the driver, on reaching stations where any chance of comfort and good food was to be obtained, to stay longer than was necessary to change mules. If " neces sity makes us acquainted with strange bed fellows," certainly travelling across the prairies brings the adventurer in contact with strange company. On arriving on one occasion at a station, where they were led to anticipate superior comforts, they fell into the society of the fair sex, whom the author thus describes : PRAIRIE BEAU TI ES. Onr mishap was really worse than we expected—we were exposed to two "ladies," and of these one was a Bloomer. It is only fair to state that it was the only her maphrodite of the kind that ever met my eyes in the United States : the great founder of the order has long since sub sided into her original obscurity, and her acolytes have relapsed into the weakness of petticoats. The Bloomer was an uncouth being, her hair, cut level with her eyes, depended with the graceful curl of a drake's tail around a flat, Turanian countenance, whose only expression was sullen insolence. The body-dress, glazed brown !calico, fitted her somewhat like a soldier's tunic, developing haunches which would be admired only in venison ; an d — curious in eonoequenee of woman's nature]—all this sacrifice of appearance upon the shrine of comfort did not prevent her wearing that kind of crinoline depicted by Mr. lunch upon " our Mary Hanne." The pantalettes of glazed brown calico; like the vest, tunic, blouse, shirt, or whatever they may call it, were in peg-top style, admirably setting. off a pair of thin-soled Frenchified patent-leather bottines, with elastic sides, which contained feet large, broad, and fiat as a negro's in Unyamwezi. The dear creature had a hus band : it was hardly safe to look at her, and as for sketch ing her, I avoided it, as men are bidden by the poet t o avo id the way of Slick of Tennessee. The other . Jody," though more decently attired, was like women in this wild part of the world generally.---old and disagreeable in. manner, full of " proper pride," with a touch me-not air, which re minded me of a certain " Miss Baxter, Who refused a man before he axed her," A MODEL LANDLORD. Her husband was the renowned Slade : gougers fierce, the eyes that pierce, the fiercest for " deadly s t r if e ;" h e h a d t h e re putatiogno a d n oufgneohrt h having n His was : am killed his three men; and a few days afterwards the grave that conc ea l e d one o f hi s mur d ers was po i n ted out to me. This pleasant individual " for an even. ing party" wore the revolver and bowie-knife here, there, and everywhere. He had lately indeed had a strong hint not to forget his weapon. One M. Jules, a French trader, after a quar t e l w hi c h t oo k p l ace a t di nner, wa lk e d up to him and fired a pistol, wounding him in the breast. As he rose to run away Jules discharged a second, which took effect upon his back, and then without givng him time to arm, fetched a gun and favoured him with a dose of slugs somewhat larger than revolver bullets. The fiery Frenchman had two narrow escapes from Lynch lawyers ; twice he was hung between waggons, and as often he was cut down. At last he disappeared in the far ther West, and took to lodge and squaw. The avenger of blood threatens to follow him up, but as yet he has taken no steps. A WESTERN HOTEL It once became evident that the station was conducted upon the principle of the western hotel-keeper of the last generation, and of continental Europe about A.D. 1500— the innkeeper of " An ne o f Geietstein"—that is to say, for his own oonveni en c e ; th e pu bli c t h ere was t h e last thing thought of. One of our party who had ventured into the kitchen was fiercely e j ec t e d b y t h e "l a di es. " In asking about dormitories we were informed that " lady travellers" were admitted into the house, but that the ruder sex must sleep where it could—or not sleep at all if it preferred. We found a barn outside ; it was hardly fit fo: a decently brought-up pig; the floor was damp and knotty ; there Nvas not even a door to keep out the night breeze, now becoming raw, and several drunken fellows lay in different parts of it. Two were in one bunk, embracing maudlingly, and freely calling for drinks of water. Into this disreputable hole we were all thrust for the night ; amongst us, it must be re membered, was a federal judge, who had officiated for years as Minister at a European court. His position, poor man I procured him nothing but a broken-domer pallet. t was his first trip to the Far West, and ye , , so easily are Ame rcans satisfied, and so accustomed are they to obey the ridiculous jack-in-office who claims to be one of the powers that be, he scarcely uttered a complaint. I for one grumbled myself to sleep. May gracious Heaven keep us sate from all "ladies" in future l—better a hundred times the squaw with her uncleanliness and civility. We are now about to leave the laud of that great and dangerous people, the Sioux, and before biddints adku to them it will be advisable to devote a kw pages to their ethnology. The admirers of Fenimore Cooper's Indian heroes will be rather disgusted with the character which Captain Burton gives these mighty warriors. Ho describes a war party which they met at a camping place, who were out on the "war path," but having been unsuccessful were sulky and dangerous. "At such times one must always be prepared for a word and a blew ; and, indeed, most Indian fighters justify themsel ves i n taking the initiative, for, of course, it is a great thing to secure the first chance. However w e may yearn to war d s our " poor bl ac k brother," it is hard not to sympathise with the white in many aggressions against the ferocious and capricious so-called red man. We must pass over the various incidents of the journey, and at once introduce the reader to the Salt Lake City, which was reached after a journey that had occupied nineteen days, and during which period our travel lers had traversed not less than 1,136 statute , miles. Taken as a whole, the author was pleased with the general appearance of the Settlement, the disposition of which is like that of the nineteenth century- New World cities—a system of right angles, the roads, streets, and lanes intersecting one another. " The houses are almost of one pattern, a barn shape, with wings and lean-tos generally facing, some thing turned end ways to the street, which gives a suburban look to the settlement, and the diminutive casements show that window glass is not yet made in the Vall e y. Th e b est h ouses resemble East In dian bungalows, with flat roofs, and low shady verandahs, well trellised, and supported by posts and pillars." In vain did the author look for the out house-harems, certain romancers concerning things Mormon having declared that the wives are kept like other stock; this, however, he at once found to be a delusion, and he concludes by de claring that from his first impression he consi ders the Mormon settlement is a vast improvement upon it s con t emporar i es in the valley of the Mississippi and Missouri. Having reached his goal, after considerable labour, Captain Burton determined to make the best use of his time; and during his stay of four and twenty days he collected a considerable fund of information, but he warns the reader that although the Mormons are ready enough to communicate all superficial particulars relating not only to their civil gc vernment, but also to religious worship, it is im possible to fathom their inner feelings ; and he relates what he has learned and what his own impressions are. He then describes the peculiar fea tures of the city and its environs, the nature of the country, and the climate, for particulars of which we must refer our readers to the work itself, stating simply that the former, although fertile in the valleys, is pronounced by emigrants from the Old Country to be " mean land," hard, dry, and fit only for hard-working Mormons, scarcely one-fifth part of it being fit for tillage ; its resources for the purposes of grazing being, on the other hand, ex cellent. The temperature is alternately low and high, the mercury often falling considerably below zero in winter. Yet it cannot be doubted, says the author, that this climate of arid heat, and dry cold, is eminently suited to most healthy, and to many sickly constitutions ; children and adults have come from England, apparently in a dying state, and have lived to become strong and robust men:" The Mormon civil government seems to hare a charm for Captain Burton, which, we confess, we are at a loss to comprehend. By his own account it com bines the worst features of European Governments together with the bigotry of the middle ages, and of the Spanish Inquisition. However, here are the author's own words : MORMON POLITY. The Mormon polity is, in my humble opinion, —based upon the fact that liberty is to mankind in mass, a burden far heavier than slavery—the perfection of government. It is the universal suffrage of the American States, tem pered by the despotism o f F rance an d R uss i a : in moderate England men have nothing of it but that tory-radicalism to which the few of exiremest °pi: ions belong. At the semi-annual Conferences which take place en th e 6th April and 6th October, and last for four days, all officers, from the President to the constabl e , are voted in by direc• lion and counsel; i.c., of the Lord through His Prophet ; consequently, re-election is the rule, unless the chief dic tator determine otherwise. Every adult male has a vote, and all live under an iron sway. His poor single vote— from which even the sting of ballot has been drawn—grati fes the dignity of the man, aad satisfies him with the autocracy which directs him in the way he should go. Ho has thus all the harmless pleasure of voting without the danger of injuring himself by his vote. The reverse duly carried out frees mankind from king and kaiser, and sub jects them to snobs and mobs. Mormon society is modelled upon a civilised regiment ; the prophet is the colonel-com manding, and the grades are nicely graduated down to the last neophyte l or recruit. I know of no form of rule supe rior to that of pt. S. L. City; it might supply th e au th or of "Happy Years at Hand" with new ideas for the " Out lines of the Coming Theocracy." It exerts its beneficial effects equally upon the turbulent and independent Ameri can ; the sensible and self-sufficient Englishman ; the Frenchman, ever lusting after new things; the Switzer, with his rude love of a most problematic liberty; the out wardly cold, inwardly fiery, Scandanavian ; the Italian, ready to bow down before any practice, with the one proviso that it must be successful ; the German, who demands to be governed by theories and Utopianisms, " worked" by pro fessors" out of the depths of their self-consciousness." The most painful portion of the history of these strange people is the blasphemous perver sion of the Scriptures, which the cunning founder of this worse than heathenish fraud (we cannot call it religion), contrived by pandering to the basest and most sensual instincts of mankind, to gain proselytes. But passing over the im morality of Joe Smith's doctrines they become ridiculous. For instance, we find on examining the extracts taken from the Mormon Bib!e, on the laws of polygamy, that under its benign authority there are two kinds of marriages, viz. the one temporal and the other spiritual ; the former terminates with life, but the other endures for eternity. A pleasant prospect this for a man blessed with a sco l d i ng wife, or a woman with a " brute of a husband." A woman cannot enter heaven unless introduced by her husband, and a virgin is lost for ever. So much for the cheat which has seduced thousands of our countrywomen to become the property of men equally the slaves of elders and prophets. Poly gamy is staunchly supported by the Mormons ; one of the chief reasons advanced in its favour is economy. Servants are scarce and wages propor tionately high at the Salt Lake, and the provident Mormon finds it far cheaper to marry as many women as he requires to do his household and other work than to pay wages for hired labour. After relating the various vicissitudes of the Mormons and their wanderings, he shows how unintentionally this scouted colony became of the highest impor tance to those crossing from the United States to California : _ half .way statione—maisTsiasedimppoireinna the the wilderness—between lveeterns Th e principal value of U. T. is its p os iti on as a great the Valley andaneyoregon of ; it has th us proved a benefit to humanity. The Mormons " flying from c i v ili sat i on and Christianity, " tates Cali fornia attempted to isolate themselves from the world in a moun tain fastness ; they were foiled, by an accident far beyond human foresight. They had retired to a complete oasis, hblaobciktaehdleupdwesiexthts,snaonwd, g u i n rt ap b p y ro v ac a h st ah w le at f e r r o l m ess a a n n y d defended by s t er il e volcanic passes, which in winter are s w ett i l n ed " country, save by a painful and dangerous march of 600- 1,000 miles. Presently, in 1850, the gold fever broke out on. the Pacific seaboard ; thousands of people not only passed through U. T. but were also compelled to remain there and work for a livelihood. The transit received a fresh im pulse in 1858 by the gold discovered at Pike's Peak, and in 1859 by the rich silver mines found in the Carson and ‘‘, asho Valleys, on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Nevada. Carson Valley, which was settled by Colonel Reece in 1852, and colonsed in 1855 by 500 Mormons, was soon cleared of Saints by the influx of prospectors and diggers, and the other El Dorados drew off much Gentile population, which was an incalculable boon to the Mormons. They thus rid themselves of the " thriving lawyers, gamblers, prostitutes, criminals and desperadoes, loafers and drunkards," who made Jerusalem a carnival of horrors. The scene is now shifted to Denver and Carson Cities, where rape and rob bery, intoxication and shooting are attributed to their true causes, the gathering together of a lawless and excited crowd, not to the " baleful shade of that deadly Upas Tree, Dl ormonism." Besides the very full accounts furnished of the Mormons and their country, Captain Burton's work relates to the Far West ; whether it be the s o c i al is highly interesting and instructive in all that and zoology of the country, or the peculiarities condition of its people, the geography, geology, of Uncle Sam's Government. The work on th e whole is a success, and may well take its stand with Captain Burton's other interesting productions. Captain J. R. Ward, R N., Inspector of Life boats to the National Lifeboat Institution, will deliver a lecture on lifeboats at the United Service Institution 3 Scot land-yard, to-morrow (Friday) afternoon. .T 1
