.p@r We quote from the, London Times an
account of the trial Of q Scotchman indicted
for disturbing meeting Of Mormons, or Latter
Day Saints, in London, recently. The defense
was, the meeting was called for immoral and
impious purposes. The London Times thinks
the court erred in finding the prisoner guilty.

principle of religious federation infhnged, but
are we, under the name of religious liberation,
to sanction and protect assemblages of persons

Christianity atde6ance, tnrping its doctrines
into ridicule, and bringing It's practice into
contempt? ~

GENERAL CoSoHA AND THE SLAVE TRADE
If any faith is to be placed in Spanish promises,
we may hope for, if not the entire suppression
of the slave trade between Africa and Cuba,
at least itsver5 considerable repression. Gen.
Concha, in one of the circulars issued by him
since he returned to the governor generalship
of the island, holds the following seemingly
decisive language, addressed to the military
and political governors OF the eastern and
western parts Of the island: m a7
"Whilst the first attentions Of the govern
ment doinot permit me to give your excellency
more full instructions, ought to indicate to
you the conduct you ought to pursue In the
delicate subject Of the trade in negroes. The
free, loyal. and absolute repression of that con-
demned trade is toward the government of her
majesty q sacred obligation in the fulfilling of
the treaties. Toward her representatives in
this island it is not less, and to all of, them it
will constitute question to the honest. This
trade must disappear, and it shall quite disap.
pear. Ny worthy predecessor has thus active.
ly endeavored by his dispositions, and to the
same end mine viii direct themselves, to put
an end to that immoral and prejudicial trade.

STATEMENT OF THouks BnExNlS.-The pas
sengers behaved most nobly under the trying
circumstances in which they were placed. /
have been present on vessels under similar cir
cumstances before, and ] never saw persons
act with greater presence of mind than did the
passengers on this occasion. They manned
the pumps on deck, and did not relax their ef-
forts until the vessel was going down. The
ladies' and children, were all ON the upper deck.
One pentleman--a full faced man, whose name
I did not learn--was indefatigable in his efforts.
He was at all times working himself and en-
couraging others to do the same, and seemed
20 animate all with great hopes that they would
be able to save themselves and possibly the
ship. The last saw of him, he was forward
emptying two large ice-chests, which were filed
with potatoes, in order to tighten the ship for
ward. The starboard chain was thrown over
board for this purpose. The second boat that
left, / think, Mr. Baalham, the second mate,
was in charge Of Mr.. Graham, think, the
fourth mate, left in charge Of one Of the boats,

Is THERE ANY HOPE FOR THE SAFETY OF
OTHERS ON THE ARcTIc?-I was confidently
hoped, from a variety Of statements made at
the Office Of Mr.. =. X. Collins yesterday, that
Mrs. Collins and daughters were not in the
boat whose tackling gave way, and precipi-
also stated that Mr.. Edward Sanford was last
seen at the stern Of the Arctic. in company
with the family of the Browns (of the firm Of
Brown, Shipley Il CO., Of Liverpool, that the
ladies of the party had life preseryers adjusted
to them, and that one of the stern boats was
either swinging at the stern or seated on the
water. at4s1
! IF we take these circumstances, in connec-
ton with Captain Luce's declaration that his
son should share his fate, = it is but human to
suppose that the commander of the vessel saw
some more propitious mode of deliverance for
his child than the frail chances in entrusting
him to the boat which Mr.. Baalham, the Sc
cond mate had secured for himself and brother
seamen. The hope is, and a gracious Proyi-
dence send that it may not prove q hope
against hope--that Captain Luce, his son, Mr..
Edward Sanford, Mrs. E. X. Collins and
family, Mr.. Brown and family, and some few
ladies, had succeeded in getting into the boat

IfMr. Sanford was possessed of even por.
ton Of that frmness, prudence, and forethought
which actuated his motions on land, it is not
too much to think, from the position in which
he was last seen, that his calmness and self
possession were called into requisition with the
nautical skill and experience of Captain Luce;
and, as none of the SURVIVORS saw them perish,
the theory Of gentlemen well acquainted with
Captain Luce and Mr. Sanford ia, that they
and Mrs. Collins and family, and Mr.. Browns
family, and The ladies who had hfe-preservers
adjusted to their bodies, escaped in the stern

A SHORT CHAPTER ON NosEs.-The London cor.
respondent of the New York Tribune thus philos-
ophises on the subject of noses.
II omitted to mention that Bulwer has an extra
ordinary nose it is quite Dantean in length and
shape. / am aware that shape and persistency of
the sign post of the nose, and in this particular /
agree with Napoleon. Extraordinary persistency
of effort, capacity for doing great things, l gener-
ally find accompanied with this elephdntine illus
%tration. 1t may not be infallible, but it is certain
ly not to be sneezed at. A pug may be smart and
witty, edit a newspaper or write a song, but when
did a pug conquer a kingdom, write an epic, or
build a tubular bridge? Never. Is there a pug
among Plutarch's heroes, except for pugnaci.y
No. Pugs are seldom more than puppies or sad
dogs It's the large fine nose only that achieve,
the highest greatness and prominence"

On the contrary, is a burly fellow. Ills large
red, round cheeks stand out, till they seem to
stretch the very skin that covers them, and it looks
as smooth as u polished apple. His black crisped
hair is piled high above his forehead, and stands
divided into two unequal masses, one inclining to
the right, and the other to the left. His eyes are
dark and his mouth sensuous, but not to the degree
of vulgarity. His person is large and his hgwing
mantle red. He is a gentleman to lay bare the
throat and looh romantic, not Byronically so, but
practically. Yethe looks good-hnmored, and like
u man whose capacity for physical enjoyment, OF
all kinds, is boundless. His negro blood is evident

not be detected by one who knew it not. Itappears

hair, once black, now pcpper-and-salt--whisker
neutrality-suspicious. black and thick--good fore
head, and the lower face ample. This conveys no
better idea of the man. appearance than q French
passport. But the truth is, Sues countenance and
figure have none of those peculiarities which make
description possible. He looks, in his portrait,
like a comfortable, careless elderly gentleman
taking his ease in an easy chair and an easy coat.
he does not look like an author; authors seldom do.
His air is rather that of a prosperous citizen. He
is only forty five years old Int he has lived fast,
and looks ~ffty-fvc. Lamarsine is sixty-three, and
