THE GAvAzzI RIOTS AT QUEBEC-All the
Gavazzi rioters at Quebec have been acquitted.
Over 70 witnesses for the Crown were summon
ed, though one of the most important witnesses
on that side was said to be absent from the
country. Messrs Justice Pauet and Sylwin
stated that the facts proved did not establish any
offence with which the parties were charged
The indictment charged the prisoners with IN at
tempt to demolish Chalmers church, while the
evidence went 10 prove an assault upon Gavaz-
I'll This discrepancy between the indictment
and the facts proved, led to the acquittal. With
one exception, the verdicts were rendered with
out the counsel for the defence addressing the
jury at all. The feeling which the riot gave rise
to fortunately seems to have subsidized, and there
was no demonstration of appreciation or other
wise on the conclusion Of the trial.

THE MODEL STATE.--Vermont is model
State, indeed, and its inhabitants are justly
proud of her, the Rutland Herald breaks out as
follows:
"There is but one city in this State, and not
one soldier. We have no theatres nor mObs.-
We have no police, and not n murder has been
committed in this State within the last ten years
We have no museums, opera-houses, nor crys-
tai palaces. but we have homes, genuine homes,
that are the centre Of the world TO their inmates,
for which the father works, votes, and talks
where the mother controls, educates, labors and

The bark trade has been less than last year,
on account of the low price it has borne. The
completion of the harbor would cause great
extension of the business, as the expenses Of
shipment by lighters are so great as to prove a
serious check to the trade
During the past year the United States have
commenced improving Black Lake, with view
of opening new entrance so as to make it a
convenient harbor Of refuge for this shore of
Lake Michigan. Should these works be CON-
pleted it must be great benefit to the shipping
of the Lake, as ours is the lee shore, and there
is not harbor which vessel drawing feet
water can enter in gale, from Grand Haven to
Chicago, on this side, distance by coast of near
ly $50 miles, The great depth of water inside
and the abundance Of room, are also important
advantages for harbor for that purpose.
The official report of the survey states that at
comparatively small expense, this can be made
perfect harbor, as good as can be made on the
whole chain of lakes.

THE MORMON SETTLEMENTS AT GREAT SALT
LAKE CITY-The Spiritual Wife System.-A
correspondent of the Oregonian, who has just
made the trip from Oregon to Utah, give the fol-
lowing description of the Mormon settlements
at Great Salt Lake City:
After leaving Fort Hall, we had a pleasant
ride of two and half days to the first Mormon
settlement-and TO water melons On account
of anticipated troubles with the Indians, the peo-
pie have collected into forts, SO called, or villages
of adobes built closely round small plaza
Though the absence of wood makes the coun-
try look bare, yet everywhere are the evidences
of an Industrious people, in the stacks of hay
and grain and great piles of yellow some pump
kins, and the abundance Of other vegetables
The absence Of wood as 4 building material,
gives the houses of sticks and mud rather hut
like appearance, but these structures are being
rapidly replaced by good adobe edifices. The
city has the look of a great collection of small
farms, each lot being large, and cultivated in
crops-all having the air ofrustic plenty. The
city is magnifcently laid out with noble broad
streets, well kept The stern rugged mountains
in the distance seem to wall in the valley, and
separate the Mormons, with all their doctrines,
from the rest of the world. They are building
an adobe wall, tifteea feet high, round the ten
acre lot in the centre of the town in which are
the foundations Of the temple, and the contem-
plated tabernacle or meeting house-a plain,
large neat room, holding 900 or 1000 persons.
The Council House or Post Office are good
succeed structures; all of these doing great
credit to the energy of the people.

yOTMUCH or A STORM.

Mr.. Wide, one of the abolition Senators from
Ohio, made speech in the Senate few days
since. in the course Of which he predicted that
the progress of Mr.. Douglas Territorial Bill
would raise n storm of popular indignation
which would sweep the country like hurricane.
This extravagant demonstration OF the free soil
or was pretty well taken Off by Mr.. Jones,
wing Senator from Tennessee, who supports the
bill. He said ~ e
He saw no storm approaching such as the
Senator predicted The Senator had described
it graphically pictured the gathering clouds,
the rising winds, the vivid lightning, and one
might fancy he could hear the rattng of the
thunder. The Senator was poetical in his de-
scription of the storm. 1t reminded him of q
very profane anecdote he became acquainted
with at the mammoth cave. Everybody who
entered that cave came out with feelings, to
some extent poctical. On one occasion, II man
after coming out rushed to the register and re-
corded verse, which he would repeat, without
any approval or excuse for its profanity:
''God Almighty, what spoil
In summer cold, in winter hot;
Yc Powers abOve-great q cd, wonder!
Andrew Jackson, hell, and thunder"
ator not to threaten. Let the Senator argue.
but he implored him not to Brighten them. He
had no fear in meeting this measure. He would
continue for the rest of his life to do as he had
always heretofore done-battle for the preserva-
ton of the peace, happiness and interests of the
country. He never had, and never would, utter
q word or do an act Injurious to the interests or
wounding to the sensibities Of the people of
any portion of the country"
THE LIQUOR LAw--Judge DOUGLAS held an
adjourned session Of the Circuit Court for
Wayne county yesterday. A certificate Of the
order of the Supreme Court in the Collins liquor
case having been filed, the attorney for the Car
son League, ii. G. knight, Esq, remarked to
the Court that it was expected that this cause
would be decided at this time. Judge Douglas
responded that the division of opinion of the
Judges of the Supreme Court rendered his po-
siion in the matter extremely embarrassing
that he was perfectly clear in, and satisfied with,
the conclusion at which he had arrived, that the
law is unconstitutional; but he was not willing
to give IN opinion at the Circuit until after the
final decision in the Hawley case--that by that
time the four Judges who conceded that the law
is unconstitutional might, agree upon some
course to be pursued at the Circuits, so that
their action might DO uniform-that in case the
Supreme Court should advise judgment against
Hawley, while it would control that case, he
might then invite argument rs TO what he ought
to do in the Collins case.
The Court adjourned to the 9th inst.

sailing ships that were ever built, none have
been fortunate. The first was the Columbus,
built in British North America, and she was the
only one that performed passage. After her
arrival in London, about the year 1924, she was
sent back to Canada, and on her passage out
was lost in the Bay of Biscay. The next was
the Baron of Reinfrew, larger one yet. She
was lost OH her first passage, at Gravelines, on
the coast of France; and last is the unfortunate
