The London Chronicle states that within the
last two years 100000 Mormons have emigratet
from Great Britain to the United States, most O
! them men of some means from Wales and the
Northern and Eastern parts of England; $500
left Liverpool in lS49, bound for the Great Sal
Lake, by way of New Orleans.
1t having been stated in some of the public
prints that contract had been entered into by
the United States Government for he removal
of the remains of the wreck of the late United
! States Steamer Missouri which was burnt tc
the waters edge in Gibraltar Bay, in 1843, we
are authorized 10 say that such report is prema-
ture. The subject is now before Congress, having
been submitted to the Committee on Naval AZ
fairs in May last by Mr.. PRESTON, the late Sec
rotary ofthe Navy.-NM Int.
Mr.. Ewbank, it is said, is TO be succeeded by
Samuel G. Goodrich the author of the Peter Par
| ley books. If this be so, it will be decided i'm
provement upon Gen. Taylors appointee, for
learn that Mr.. Ewbank is not competent to exc
cute all the duties of his office. For example, he
divides with Mr. Lawrence, his chief clerk, the
duties OF the office, and assigns to the decision of
the latter gentleman, every question connected
with the patent laws and their construction. This
is decidedly in violation of the law creating the
office. AS to Mr. Goodrich, | am told that he is
fully competent to the entire discharge of the
duties of the office of Commissioners of Patents
Any change would be for the better,--so say all
those who have business with the Office, and they
ought to Enow--Cor. Ball. Clip.
| A pretended clergyman has been arrested at
Boston, charged with having stolen horse, and
various other offences. The Transcript says
SHE is only % years of age Daguerreotypes
of himself and beautiful young lady, whom he
claims as his intended were found with other
fancy articles, in his possession. But his gay
season and missionary services are now prob
ably ended for the present, except they be exer-
csed within the walls of sundry State peniten-
tiaries.'
AN ARKANSAS ORAToR.-The Camden (Ark.)
Democrat gives the following description of a
stump speech in that State:
Then Alexander T. Hawthorn took the stand
He is democrat, in his 26th year, from Alabama,
some two years--full of Notwithstanding
from head to heel with the true fires of genius
forever putting forth all his strength upon what
ever he is about. He is right on all the questions
of State policy--and as for the Recorders Law,
oh ordy! he devoured that just about like hun
cry lion would pound and a half of fresh beef!
He tore the monster limb from limb, and then
swallowed im-hair, hide and all-and never
licked his lips! He then let fly the red hot thun-
der bolts of his lightning eloquence against the
naked ribs o. the odous redistribution actr' Well
done, said to myself clay on Ellick, and beat be
he, who first cries-quit!"
FROM JEREM1E, ST. DoMINGo.-Captan Parker, of
the schooner Navarro. arrived Ne,y Y ork on Sun
day, the editor OF the Herald that the Emperor
Faustn L. was fitting up an expedition against the
Windward Islands, both by sea and land. 1t said
the naval force would consist oftwo large square rugged
vessels, and propeller the latter in preparation

Some three weeks previous to Captain P.'s sailing,
