EmGRArIoS TO LIBERIA Rev. Mr.. Tin.

New York Colonization Society, publishes
the following notice for the benefit of those
who desire to emigrate to Africa:
"The close of the rainy season in Libe
ria is a most favorable time for emigrants
to arrive. We have, therefore, desired and
advised that the expedition from New
York should sail as carly in October as the
18th, better even the lst
DESTROYS, however, to accommodate a
company from Pennsylvania who cannot
leave before the close of that month, We
take this opportunity Of informing the
friends Of the cause, that emigrants arri.
wing in New York from the 25th to the
3lst October, will be in time and shall have
q free passage, if their names are register.
ed by the middle Of September.
From present appearances we have rea'
son to anticipate larger emigration this
fall than has ever sailed from New York
in previous years. We hope applicants will

The earliest applicants will have prefer

From Utah.

We have dates from Salt Lake City to
the 22d of June. There is very little news
of Importance.
The Deseret News says that on Friday,
the 10th June, the workmen begun at the
southeast corner to lay the foundation
stone Of the new Temple on the Temple
Block, in this city The foundation is lif-
teen feet thick at the bottom, and is to be
carried up eight feet with uniform slope
on each side, until it reaches the floor of
the basement story, where it is to be gath
cred to q thickness Of seven feet, which it
will keep to the top Of the first stery. The
rock used are very large blocks of reddish
silicious coDglomerate, firmly cemented, and
weighing one hundred and forty-eight
pounds per cubic foot. In asmuch as this
work is now actually commenced, under
such, favorable auspices, we trust that all
the saints will feel sufficiently spirited to
keep it under rapid headway, that ere long
We may have temple in which the ordin-
ances of the priesthood can be administer
ed for the living and the dead, and the
faithful receive the blessings in store for
them.
June l3.-Our city and vicinity were
visited by an unusually severe thunder
storm. The rain fell in torrents, mingled
with hail, and in short time the streets,
gardens and fields were covered with q
sheet of water. Fortunately the storm was
soon over; but then followed the foods from
City and Red Butte creeks, and mountain
ravines, bringing down rocks, gravel, sand
and soil depositing them in various thick
nesses on many city lots, and washing near
y all the soil from others, thus doing much
damage to gardens, also to the graded
road to the stone quarry and the city wall,
and made several large breaches in the
main water bitches.
South of the city the hail injured several
wheat fields, most seriously in the region Of
the Big and Little Cottonwood creeks,
though the grain not headed out will prob
ably spring up again and have plenty Of
time to mature.
We have understood that hailstones big
as Turkey eggs were picked up at Ira Ed
redge's farm, on Big Kanyon creek, and
that much window glass was broken at the
grist mill owned by Gov. Young and F.
Little, near the mouth Of the Kanyon Oh
the same creek; also at j. Neif's mill at
Mill creek.
Several herd boys fared roughly on the
table lands east of the city, aud one little
boy named McGechie was found drowned
by the waters of Red Butte.
The weather continued cool and showery
until the morning of the 10th inst, when
the rain again fell rapidly for short time
after which the clouds scattered, and it is
now clear and hot

VnncOuver's Island.

Mn. EpIToR Non omnia possumHs
onnes' is truth that appears but lately
to have commenced dawning on the minds
of the omniscient leaders Of Penchunt
street Hitherto Gov Douglass, Of Vic
toria, Vancouvers Island, has been the
representative of every power and interest
attaching to this fine Island, but his sun
has passed the meridian; and although the
commencement Of its decline may not be
perceptible to the eyes of the vulgar or
even to the individual most Interested
deceived by the heat and glare of its past
meridian splendor, yet the fact is so. The
control of the affairs of the Puget Sound
Agricultural Co. has been taken from him
and given TO r. Mckenzie, Esq, one of
our worthy magistrates. who no doubt will
show the wisdom of the selection, by acting
the part Of true colonist and sturdy
farmer - finding other channels through
which to dispose of the produce of the diff
ferent estates under his supervision, and
procuring the supplies he needs from other
sources than those afforded by the agents
of the II. B. Co.-thus giving an impetus
to trade which the latter gentry would
would fain monopolize, thereby increasing
the population and creating market on
the spot for agricultural products.
The reason of this change is apparent to
ALL "No man can serve two masters"
and this dogma will level similar blow,
ere long, at his Governors cap his sun
will continue its course to the setting, and

The AMERICAN MINISTER IN RUSSIA
letter to the New York Journal of Com
merce, dated Beslin. (Prussia), August s,
says:
'"The position of the American Minis
ter in ST. Petersburg is believed to be at
present of the most agreeable character
With a prudence for which he has always
been remarkable he has succeeded in cher
ishing to an unusual degree, the amicablc
relations of Russia toward America, with
out compromising in the least the neutral
policy so long adhered to by the United
States. By the personal respect which
Mr.. Seymour has commanded, he has also
been able not only to advance many com
mercial undertakings of American citizens,
but has aided, it is said, important inquiries
concerning the scientific and agricultural
position Of Russia.
