THE UNITED ATlfk.

(nail Ora OWN CJAREPttoNbINT.)

NEW YORK, Slav 25.
Affairs is Utah are passing from bad to worse,
the military and civil lunctionaties of the United
States beteg at daggers drawr. Judge Cradlebangh,
the federal judge for the district, found on com-
mencing his 'image that the Mormon grand juries
would not present anybody, and that the petty Juries
would not convict anybody if preseLted, and dually,
that his life was in danger from the valence of the
Mormon mob. In this extremity he called upon
Wilma Johnston. the general in command of the
troops, for aid and protection, and the general ac-
cordingly sent two companies of infantry to attend
the court dariag its sittings. Governor Cumming, on
hearing of these proceedings, denounced them in a
violent and vigorous pr.clamation, and openly
took part with the Mormons. The quarrel then
waxed fast and furiour, and at the last accounts
the governor had called out the Mormon militia, and
▪ collision between them and the troop. was immi-
nent. Considering that Mr. Buchanan has been
doctoring the Mormon diffical:y ever since he came
into office, and that he has in some measure staked
kis reputation on its settlement, this is a most lame
end impotent conclusion of the whole bueinese.
What will be the end of it nobody knows, and to
tell the truth, nobody cares. People are generally
very tired of the Mormon imbroglio, and with •
great war raging in Europe are not disposed to
spend much time in thinking of a little war on the
shores of the Salt Lake.

Here at the north there is a perfect dearth of
political Dews of any kind. All attention is
turned to Europe, and each mail is looked
for with the most intense anxiety, particularly
by the operators in breadstuff& and cotton, and the
, western farmers, whose yield of grain promises to
be enormous. There was a complete panic amongst
the corn dealers on the arrival of the Baltimore'.
mails without news of a battle. It was confidently
expect,d that the hostile 'creels would have come in
=Melon soon after the passage of the Ticino, and the
procrastination of the Austrians has awakened fears
that negotiations are on foot for the settlement of
the difficulty without bloodshed, or, in short, that
meaebody u doing something to prevent things
coming to extremities. The sympathy for the
Freoch and Sardinians grows stronger and stronger
every day. The editor of an Italian journal,
published in this city, wrote to Count
Cavour some weeks ago, asking if it were
advisable for Italians to go home from the
Uoited States u volunteer:. He received a
letter from the Count, stating that of volunteers
Piedmont had already too many, but of money she
was sadly in need. Those who desired to show their
sympathy with her, therefore, would show it much
more effectually by their s intributiuns in money than
by the proffer of their personal services on the battle-
field. A committee of the resident Italians here has
been formed for the purpose of raising subscriptions
for the relief of the families of soldiers serving in the
war, and bids fair to meet with a large measure of
success.

The Tract Society had another furious battle over
the alavery question at the recent anniversary. The
antislavery party endeavoured to introduce a run.
lotion instructing the publishing committee to pub.
lish something on the stave trade which is now
taking its place amongst "the sins" of the South.
This was violently opposed, end the majority were
actually on the point of tacitly approving of the
odious traffic," when one of their number, Dr. Spring,
more sagacious than the rest, Interposed with a
saving resolution condemning the iniquity. The
debate was rioisat in the extreme ; the room crowded
with "life members" from Wallutreet, anxious
above all things to get back to their basilicas, and
therefor* penman in interruptions, , hisses,
and eat-aalls, whenever any of tirriZposition
attempted to speak. The result, however, was
damaging in the extreme to the party in power.
The Boston Tract Society—hitherto a branch of this
of New York—formally separated from it a few
days latwe, and Henry Ward Beecher delivered at its
anniversary meeting a denunciation of the old body,
which as a piece of scathing invective has rarely
been equalled.

The Pike's Peak gold fields, in Western Kansas,
have turned out a complete delusion. Thousands of
young men abandoned their homes and employments,
sad went there expecting to make their fortunes in
a few days. The disappointment has been terrible.
The gold stories turned out to be, in the main, menu-
factored by land speculators on the spot, who wanted
We'll town lot,. The fury of the would.be miners has',
kept pace with their misery. They are now returning
over the plains in large parties, half-starved and
thirstieg far vengeance, murdering sad plundering
as they go. The inhabitants of many of the villages
on the Use of their march have abandoned their
homes and fled at their approach. By the last ac-
counts they had fallen in with a party outward
bound. containing amongst others an unfortunate
postmaster on his way to his post. The miners
made a general onslaught on them, and hanged the
unfortunate functionary. I presume they concluded,
hem his having obtained a government appointment
at the scene of their misery, ho had something to
do with spreading the delusion which brought
them to it.

_ Cyrus Field started by to-day'e steamer for Eng-
lead, to roams lie labours at the Atlantic telegraph.
The interest is the enterpriee has completely sub-
sided ea this lido of the water, and, in fact, the pub-
lie are greatly disgusted with themselves for the ex-
travagant* of their demonstrations last September.
It wut require a long period of euoceenful opera-
tion to get ap similar enthusiasm again. No one
488 avoid holing, however, that the great cable
would have been a great blessing_ if it were now doing
its duty during the waa. Hourly reports from
Europe w.nild keep speculators quiet, and prevent
the gemblisg which goes on is the intervals between
the steams, wink

Mr. Strjeant Shea and Mr. Drowns wen counsel for the
plaintiff , Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Tindal Atkinson we-
sante I ins defendant.

The plaintiff in tile action sought to recover damages for
an injury sustained by raw= of the alleged negligence of the
defendant's servants in eavigating a barge on the Throe,.
The plaintiff's man was taking hie barge, bides with
coals, through one of the etches of Warminster-bridge,
when he law the defendant's barge, which was a sailing
veer!, approachlag. He called out, bat no notice
was taken, and the defendant's barge, peeling under the
arch stern foremost, struck the plaintiff's and sunk her. The
coals were lost, the barge was rendered worthier, and the
plaintiffs man had great difficulty in saving his life.
Several witnesses were called on both sides, to prove which
party was in the armee, and as la aerial in all " running
down cues" their evidence woe of the most contlicung
nature.

T 4: jury found a verdict for the decadent.
COLSTON V. SLUM-SALE OF ♦ BUSINESS.

Mr. Hawkins wee mum' for t►s plaintiff; Mr. Wilde sad
Mr. Browne were for the defendant.

This was an action for a breach of contract brought by
the plaintiff, an outfitterr in the Westminster-road, against
the defendant, a tailor in the City-road. It appeared that the
plaintiff agreed to mil a banters' he had in tie City-road to
the defendant for 1261., but the latter objected en the ground
that the lager could not be handed over without the comment
of a Mrs. Champion, the plaintiff 'a landlady. The plaintiff
had obtained a promise that the sesignment should be
made, but, the patties being ahead, it wee not till October
that Mr. Nihon, the executor of Mrs. Champion, signed a
license for the assignment. The defendant refused to com-
plete the purchus because the assignment had not been
made in September, and hence this melon.
The learned judge held that the loam wee part of the con-
tract, and the assignment ought to have been made in Sep-
tember, when the contract wee completed.
A verdict was then entered for the defendant, with leave
to the plaintiff to move.
