COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
COWES, JUNE 30,
Loss OF THE FRENCH BRIG PAULINE, OF Glite.Nvnix•
—The English brig Crusader, Hacquoil master, arrived
at this port this morning, in thirty-four days
from St.
Jago de Cuba, with coffee for orders, by which we
learn the loss of the French brig Pauline, of Gran-
ville, Captain Le Chevalier, on the 17th instant, in lat.
44 30 N., and long. 40 10 W. of Paris, having been
struck by a whale, and in twenty minutes afterwards
foundered. The master and crew, together with a pas-
senger (in all eleven persons), took to their boat, and
for three days were at the mercy of tho winds and seas,
when they were fallen in with by the Crusader, and
brought to this port. The Pauline was laden with sugar,
and bound from Porto Rico to Europe.
The unfortunate crew of the Pauline, on their arrival
at Cowes, presented themselves to the French consular
agent, Mr. William S. Day, through whom they have
been provided with clothing, &c., and will be forwarded
to France, as soon as Captain Chevalier has made his
report and protest.

Neuvoo.—This city of the Mormons once held
20,000 inhabitants ; they are now about 2,000. One-half of
the houses the Mormons left have been removed or pulled
down, and the other half are tenantless. Each lot contains
an acre. The mansion of Joe Smith
is kept by his wife—
once his widow, but now again a wife of another and a live
man—as a tavern. The front wall, and the one next to it,
which formed the vestibule, are all that is left standing of
the achievement of fanaticism called "The Temple," which,
as the inscription on a large stone, worked in the inner wall,
informs the visitor is, " The House of the Lord, built by the
Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-Day Saints. Com-
menced April 6, 1841.,, A company of French Socialists
have purchased a portion of the property, the site and the
[ ruins of the temple included. They number about 400.-
