MORMON APFArRs.-We have received inte.
gence from Nauvoo to the 9Th inst. All was very
quiet there then.
II appears that the reports of the temperance OF
Joe Smith and the appointment OF his son as pro-
phet are all false, and originated in desire 10 in
jure The Mormons abroad.
Sidney Rigdon had returned TO Nauvoo from
Plttsburg, and preached TO the people on the 4th
INST In consequence Of the death of Samuel
Smith, Joe's brother, since the murder Of the pro-
phet, sidney Rigdon will be chosen Patriarch OF
the Mormon flock He is their master spirit, and
will make shrewd and energetic leader.
There are i've widows of the Smith family now
living in Nauvoo the mother Of all. and the late
wives OF Joe, Hiram, and their two brothers
Accessions to the Mormon strength continues n
De quite large In Nauvoo the usual activity is
apparent, and the Temple is steadily going m i
ITS unique form and shape. Its style Of architecture
is OF the pure Mormon order
All that are now wanted in Nauvoo are a few
manufacturers.

TREATMENT OF LuNATrcs IN ENGLAND AND THE
UNITED STATEs.--Our last London files contained
report Of the very interesting speech delivered in
the British House of Commons by Lord Ashley, on
his motion for an inquiry into the treatment Of lu.
natlcs in the United Kingdom. This is the noble
man, many of our readers will recoect, who
distinguished himself by his philanthropic Iabors
in procuring the "short. time factory BILL" and
more recently by his exposure OF the shocking
baIbarities and cruelties perpetrated in The coal
mines OF Great Britain. In his new effort for the
moderation the condition of his unfortunate
feilo w-beings, who have been deprived of reason,
his Lordship has indeed added another leaf TO his
chaet" and it is proper that his benevolent efforts
should be made known all over the world
The condition of the lunatics confined in asy-
lums IN Great Britain, was indeed most deplorabIe
IN all cases, till very recently. The private asy.
lums, before they were opened to the visitation of
the proper authorities, were the scenes of barbara
ties, at the recital of which the blood runs cold
Even now, as Lord Ashley has shown, the prompt
and efficient interference of the legislature is alb
solutely necessary in order TO correct the gross
abuses which exist in the management of lunatic
asylnms. In this country we are, generally speak
ing, certainly far before Great Britain in the treat
ment and management of the insane. Several of
our asyums, that at Hartford for instance, are mo-
dels OF such Institutions, being conducted with hu-
mainly, skill and success
