India with troops, from the 18th of June to the
end of August was 67 ; the number of troops
carried by those vessels was 24,145.
Mr. Townsend, M P., has had an opportunity of
makinf., a persu2al appearance before his con-
stituents; and the consequence is, that the effort
to raise funds to keep him afloat in the House of
Commons will be v7gorously made, The hon.
gentleman declared that he would stick to the elec-
tors as long 2s the electors would stick to him; and
as the elcctora have shown a disposition to furnish
the means for such a close alliance, we presume
we shall hear little more about the contemplated
vacancy for Greenwich.
An Irish journalist positively announces that
Mr. Morsell has relincoished his office as Presi-
dent of the Board of Health, and that his duties
are DOW discharged by Mr. Cowper. The statement
is premature, we shoull suppose. if not altogether
unfounded; but there is a political purpose at the
bottom of such assertions.

`I he Tints, in an article on the late p.)litical
trials in France, feels bound to say that the
evidence by which M. Mazzini has been inculpated
is not of such a character as convicts him of
suborning assassins in the eyes of Englishmen.
We have interesting news from the Continent.
The Independtnee Beige states that England is so
occupied with the Indian outbreak as to make her
desire to put an end to the coo'ness which, since
the establishment of peal°, has existed between
her and Russia ; whilst, on the other hand, the
Czar Alexander is sincerely attached to that policy,
which can alone realise his wishes for the develop-
ment of the great but neglected resources of his
empire. Finally, the Emperor Napoleon is
admirably situated between these two ten
d c s for serving as a point of union,
and obliterating the last marks of old
dissentions The Allgemei-ne Zeitung says that
Baron Bourguency, the French ambassador at
Vienna, points to the. Imperial interview at Stutt-
gardt as a proof that Russia means sincerely -to
a !here in her internal and external policy to the
principles of the Paris Conference ; that is to say,
a f, reign policy based on friendly relations, and a
home policy of reform and progress; while the
helPtendence remarks, that4the two Emperors can
give umbrage only to Austria, which continues to
remain outside, and the Allyemeine Zeitung says it
is more than probable that Louis Napoleon will
avail himself of the present opportunity to open the
way to more friendly relaions between Russia
and England and Austria also.

The Holstein Diet, adopting the conclusions of
the report of the Cammissoners appointed by them
to examine the project of the new Constitution,
has refused to discuss that project till the relations
between Holstein and D )Arnark w3re d4iaitely
settled. Only two members voted against the
adoption of the Commission. The late attempt: at
conciliation on the part of the Danish govsretnent
has, therefore, been rejected pure et simple.
Contrary to what has been the general .expecta-
tion, the return of the Bank of England, published
last night, shows a decrease in the stock of bullion
only to the extent of £9,274.

UPON several occasions we have referred to
that shameful and shameless delusion which
goes under the name of Mormonism ; we have
raised our voice of warning to our countrymen,
and referred to the commonly reported and, as
we believe, well authenticated enormities charged
upon it. We return to the subject because we
are most zealous to help in putting down this
atrocious m)ckery of religion and morals, in the
most legitimate way, by simply calling• attention
to the facts, which ought at once. to stamp i'.s
character with all decent• and reasonable men
and women. We observe that an anti-Mor-
monite me2ting has been held at Bury,
to show up the nature or the movement.. A
Mr. HILL, of Manchester, had been to the Salt
Lake, and he gave his testimony and his
ime ueru.sion. Let parties like Mr.
HILL, who have learned what Mormonism is,
by dear bought experience, step forward, state
facts, and undeceive the gullible part of the
community. *We woul I not . have even the
Mormonites put down by violence. We respect,
and would maintain the right of free, impartial
discussion in Eogland of every subject which is
interesting to man, from the existence of GOD to
the character of JOE SMITH. If any sect or
party publish nonsense, absurdity and profanity.,
let their opponents publish good sense, reason,
and morality, to neutralise them ; but no vio-
lence, no persecution, denunciation, or mis-
representation. Those who believe they have
truth on their side need no such auxiliaries,
and if they modestly and conscientiously hold
their own form of truth, they will earnestly
repudiate such auxiliaries. We read in the
American papers, some time since, the disclosures
made by Judge DaUMMOND of Mormonite pro-
ceedings, and they are such as not to be easily
forgotten. We might, perhap4, reasonably
suspect them to be a little overcoloured ; but
making any needful deduction of this kind, the
main part of the American Judge's statements
continue unrefuted. They went to the extent
of showing that the authority of the United
States' Government was openly scorned ; that
BRIGHAM YOUNG was at once king and priest
of the community; that he had subservient
tools ready to execute hit high behest ; that
the said Bainninr YouNo had set up his
seraglio in the west, and was revelling in the
coarsest sensuality ; that the condition of the
women of the community was most degraded
and degrading, polygamy being unblushing' y
practised by the Mormons; that secret violence,
murders, poisonings, assassinations, are legalised
in this flagitious aggregation of human monsters
and their dupes. These are serious charges.
They are upon record. We believe them true.
We call upon the Elders and advocates of Mor-
in onism in England to meet them, if they can,
and if they dare. Mere denials will not suffice.
Here 'ire upon record, upon most respectable
authority •
v what we believe to be facts. We
- challenge • 'he advocates of Mormonism to meet
'f the facts are so, then Mormonism,
them ; and L
