which large amounts of the city money have

a MILLIONAIRE WORKING FOR TWELVE SIILLISGs
A WEEK, AND LIVING AS PAUPERl-.A recent
foreign arrival brought us the intelligence that
the great English millionaire, Morrison, worth
t0enty millions of dollars, had died. The fol-
lowing extract from letter in the Boston Post,
shows how little benefit he permitted himself
to receive from all his wealth:
''Mr. Morrison retired from active business
several years since, without withdrawing his
capital from the mercantile house, and though
managing his vast funds himself up to the time
of his DEATH with all the sagacity of earlier days.
he has for the last three years been possessed
with the idea that he should come to want
More than two years ago he commenced day la

which he received twelve shiIlingS week, aud
this he continued up to the time of his illness.
For the last eighteen months he has been a
regular applicant for relif to the parish, assem-
bling twice week, with the town paupers at
the door ofthe Union, and receiving with each
one of them his two ShillingS and quarter loaf
His friends have INDUCED him in these fancies
on the ground that 1t was the best choice two
evils. The truth is, money was his god, aud
the idea became at last too great for him and
broke him down. And yetshe is said to have
made a most judicious will and his investments

sense, The probate duty on his will exceeds

A MORMON PLACE OF RErrGE.-It is stated
that the Mormons, among their other prepare
tons, have not fOrgottan to look out a Canaan of
refuge, in case the United States should disagree
too severely with their patriarchal institutions
The Saints" have, it appears, an excellent open
road from the southwestern valleys to a settle
ment of their own ont the. confines of Lower
California. This colony consists of between
one and two thousacd picked settlers-bravc,
prudent, industrious, and well instructed not to
give cause of offence to their Christian neigh
bors. The colony keeps up steady communi-
cation with Salt Lake, six hundred miles distant,
and it is scarcely to be doubted that they have
planted other stations in the pleasant and fertile
valleys scattered along this route. The inference
is obvious, from the systematic arrangement,
which opens the way into Sonora and Lower
California, that the Mormons have contemplate
cd the possibility of retreat beyond the Unit.
ed Safes jurisdiction. They affiliate with the
Indians, are strong enough to hold Sonora and
Lower California against Mexico, and nothing
but large volunteer force and the establish
meut of Gordon of military settlements can
reduce the Mormons to submission.

On the 4th, Poo-chou-foo was visited by a
terrific typhoon, attended with great destruction
of property and loss of life. The largest trees
were uprooted, OF broken across; the air was
filled with leaves, timber, sticks, &c All the
houses of the foreign inhabitants were more or
less damaged, many of them having verandahs
blown in and partly unroofed. The American
flagstaff was blown down; the English Consulate
