An article in the New York Evening Gazette
says: " The first steamer that crossed the Atlantic
was the Sirius, which left Cork on the 4th April,

steamship Snuannah, from America to Europe
ana back again, twenty-five years ago, had been
lately brought to view too prominently to permit
an intelligent writer to fall into such an error as the
above in relation to the Sirius.

MORE MORMON DIFFICULT1Es.-We learn from

pistols and stones, attacked the boat--some Of the
bullets fired penetrating the cabin. The Sheriff and
the prisoner were both wounded seriously, and
Redding was rescued. The Quincy Wing states
