CA Virginia gentleman, writing from Flor
snoe, in Italy, says of Hart, the soul ptor:
"Talking about what is doing in Florence,
must mention a head which Mr. Hart has Just fin
ished, intended present to the society of ladies
IN Richmond for whom he is now executing statue
OF Mr. Clay. Il is one ofthe most beautiful things
have ever seen. 1t has sweet, sad expression,
representing Virginia mourning for her son. He
is now working on the statue of Mr.. Clay and has
been engaged for sometime in making, with his
own hands, an instrument ofhis own invention, for
executing it in marble, so that it will be as perfect
as man can make it. This instrument is considered
by those who have seen it, as one of the greatest
inventions Of the AGO.

o. The London Morning Chronicle Of a late
date contains curious article on the Cuba ques-
ton, and the disposition of the people Of the Uni
ted States. The editor says
'There is not the smallest reason for believing
that the annexation of Cuba would be i'm unison
with the true sentiments Of the American people.
The excitement on the subject is almost entirely
sustained by paid agents, whose services have
been retained by the holders of the famous Cuban
Scrip; and their activity keeps alive something
like a movement of opinion among the dregs of The
population in New York and Philadelphia, and a.
mong relatively higher class in the prcligate city
of New Orleans. But we will set off .Uncle
TOMS Cabin" against any amount of"indignation
meetings" which may be held to dcnounce the
authorities of Havana. If Mr.. Pierce should at
tempt to play the game of Texas with Cuba, he
must eventually not only break up his own party,
but entail disasters on the Federation which not
even a foreigner can contemplate with calmness."

DOCTRINES OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ofthe twelve
Apostles of the church of 'Latterday Saints, Or
sin Pratt, is preaching thrice on Sundsy and once
on Wednesday evening of each week, at Temper
ance Hall, in this city, on the subject of Mormon
ISM. The address of Sunday evening last was at
tended BY some two hundred persons or upwards,
and continued something more than an hour. 1t
consisted chiefly in giving the history of the rise
o. Mormonism, the discovery of the Mormon
scriptures, aud the hopes Of the sect for the FUTURE
which are very high and enthusiastic. In the en-
positions of Mormon IDEAS doctrines and practices,
there appears no disposition to deny the polygam|s
tic principles and habits that prevail amongst thems
In reference to this, as to other points of Mormon
doctrine, Elder Pratt refers to his Journal ''1he
Seer" of which the first number has appeared
In this he defends plurality of wives as Divine
institution, from arguments founded on the practi
ces of three ourths of mankind now, the customs
of the old Jewish patriarchs, and the alleged tacit
allowance Of Christ. He also claims that polyga-
my is not prescribed BY the Constitution aud laws
Of the United States, but rather guaranteed, when
held under religious conviction by that article of
the amendments to the Constitution which aflirms
that ''CongreSs shall make no law respecting an
establishment Of religion or prohibiting the free ex
ercise thereof" This plurality ofwives he styles
the Celestial marriage" which, he asserts, is to
be union as we'll in eternity as in time. There
would seem now to be no further room for doubt
about Mormon sentiments on this head they are
not only acknowledged but proclaimed and sought
to be universally spread.-Nationat hteltigencer

THE WHEELING BRIDGE.-The Washington
correspondent oil the Baltimore Sun states that
public attention will soon be called to the remark
able conflict between the United States Supreme
Court and the Legislative branch of the Govern
ment in the Wheeling Bridge case.
The Court, by decree at its late session, after
a rehearing Of the case decreed that the bridge
should be removed as an obstruction to navigation,
or elevated to certain height, and they allowed
q certain time within which the bridge company
should comply with the terms ofthe decree. Con-
gress, at the late session, and after the adjourn
ment of the Court, constituted the bridge pest
road, with view 10 save the bridge and evade
the decree. They undertake to legalize what the
judiciary has decided to be nuisance.
In FEBRUARY, the u. s. Marshal will proceed to
execute the decree, and summon posse, and, if
need be, call upon the President for military aid.
The Governor of Virginia, on the other hand, will
resist the execution Of the decree and employ the
militia for that purpose. There is a clash of au-
thority between coordinate branches of the gov
rment and in which States are deeply interested
on one side and the other. Whether Congress or
the Court is to yield is the question.
