By the arrival Of the steamship Niagara from
Liverpool 18th Of March, at Halifax and Boston,
and the Fulton At New York, We have later news
from Europe.
Tha British Government has determined that
scientific exploration shall be made in yancou-
ver's Island, and with this view the Royal and
Geographical Societies have been requested to
furnish Suggestions for the efficient carrying out
Of the expedition.

British Government win renew the charter Of

Of the dangers and fatigue Of going to the

Wild these numerous obstacles much con-

practicable route to the mines. But none
iaks up the question 50 arbitrarily as the
oreroninns. According to their view, it is
utterly impossible to get to the mines with
ou, going through Oregon. The people Of
Victoria arc regarded Is exceedingly reckless
IN ndsavoring to reach the mining region

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM SALT LAKE.
The lIormons EVacuate the Cityi

The steamer Senator arrived at San Francisco
on the 10th inst, from the Southern Coast, witt
later adyices from Los Angeles, San Diego &c
Below will be found a summary Of the news:
The Utah mail arrived at Los Angeles on Tues
day, the Sd inst. 1t brings the news that thu
MormOns had left Salt Lake City. Gov. Cum
mings, in company with Col. Kane, arrived al
that city from Camp Scott about the 4th Of April
Brigham Young was at Pro5o, fifty miles this
side Of Salt Lake City. A grand council was tC
be held at Provo on the 9Th ult, that being the
Anniversary Of the commencement Of Mormon
worship in $780, 1t is stated that at this council
the future policy and plans Of the Saints will be
determined.
Amassa Lyman one Of heoriginal purchasers
Of the San Bcrnardino, with about three hundred
men subdved into small parties, left about the
lst ult, on tour Of exploration towards and into
the Apache country. .-
The Dtseret Neses has been suspended and will
probably remain sealed book during the migra-
tons and wanderings Of the Saints, The last
number was issued on the 7th of April on q
reduced sheet Itmakes no mention whatever Of
any movement or change.
Letters have been received at Los Angeles Of
the date Of April I'd from Salt Lake City which
state that the people Of that city and all the settle
ments north Of 1t are commanded to Immediately
abandon and burn their dwellings and move south
to Provo, 50 that Col. johnson may establish a
military post at Salt Lake.
Considerable dissatisfaction exists among the
MormOns. Young feels that his hold on the
masses is rapidly slackening, and hence he has
had recourse to the old system of declaring "vi-
sion" commanding him to destroy the cities and
occupy the southern settlements.
Abel Gilbert, Ofthe firm Of Gerrish & Gilbert,
writes to the editors Of the Los Angeles papers
from Great Salt Lake City, under date Of April
., to the effect that in bis journey from Los Ange-
les to the former city he had experienced nothing
but kindness at the hands of the Mormons, and
that the Indians were all pcaceably disposed.
Another letter, which the editor Of the Los An
geles Ttar has been permitted to extract from,
states that at the Salmon River settlements, the
Indians were becoming very troublesome, and
that several Of the MOrmons have been killed.
1t seeems to be the fixed determination Of the
Mormon leaders to destroy their cities and towns,
in accordauce with their of expressed resolve,
that their enemies should never again profit BY
their labors su

An arrangement Is about to be effected between

dukun or priest, in the house they are to inhab-
it. They make series of obesances first tow
ards the south then to the hearth or fireplace,
which is to be the scene of their domestic bliss;
then to the earth; and lastly they raise their
eyes to the upper story of the house. where the
agricultural instruments are stored up, and per-
form the same ceremony. Then the bride and
bridegroom turn respectfully towards the priest.
and proceed to repeat long PRAYER, asking for
blessing upon the lives both of husband and
wife. The bridehas then to 90 through a ccremo-
ny indicative of her humility and willingness to
serve her husband in all things. This willing
ness She expresses by publicly washing his feet
Then the friends of the newly married pair come
forward with various nuptial offerings. in the
shape of household articles, implements of hus-
bandry, cruises, or long knives, bufIaloes, etc.
The bride and bridegroom as an acknowledge
mont of their friends good will offer them betel
nuts.
There is a remarkable circumstance connect
cd with the dowry of Japanese bride; its
amount is fixed by law-thc sum, among peo-
pie Of equal rank, amounting to about forty dol
lars. The word employed in the language of
the country, sufficiently initiates the position
of the wife-it signifies "purchasc,' and the
husband as in most other Asiatic nations, goes
out-like the man in the nursery rhyme-"to
buy him wife" Sometimes, however, it hap
pens that the husband, on the, first starting in
life, is unable to pay the dowry there and then.
In such cases, the happy bridegroom must be-
gin his married life in the house of his father
and mother-in-law, and consent to occupy very
subordinate and humilating position until he
can settle his little matrimonial account, when
ne is free to set up separate establishment on
his own behalf Frequently however, part
or the whole, of the dowry is RENTED. The
existence Of such practice argues a very low
condition in the feminine part of the popui9.ion.
Everywhere, save in civilized and Christian
country, woman is thus made the slave of man.

ever, the falling in of the upper part of the
mountain, to the depth, perhaps, of 200 palms.
This has been occasioned probably by the
mouths which have been opened in the direc-
ton of Caposecchi, on the property of Ottaja-
no. Vesuyius is perforated by them, and were
the circle TO be completed, it is not improbable
that great change would take place in its
form. Altogether, seven main openings are
spoken Of as vomiting forth fire, the minor or
iices are unnumbered and the two great
streams which now threaten most are the one
that is flowing down the Fosso Iii Favame in a
northerly direction, on the old lava of 1856,
and the other is coming down towards Resina,
and has cut off the new road to the Hermitage.

"with party of French when the crater fell
in. They were much frightened, as well they
might be. 1t seemed to be cut in two, and
then, swaying backwards and forwards, the
walls fell in, leaving fragment standing up
right. The loss of property has been very
great, and the shreks of some of the people
went up to Heaven. | saved one woman, who
had lost all, from throwing herself into the
lava. grasped her by the arm and carried
her off," The various currents of lava at their
mouths appear like cascades of fire. and of
these there are six near the Fosso di Favame.
Nothing can be more beautiful. There is a
pumping and putting, and an occasional roar
ing, and then comes the abundant liquid,
which, falling over the lower ground like cas-
oade, rushes forward 10 feed the main flood.
TO wander about, however, as on former occa-
sions, is now impossible and in my description
] am confined almost to generalitcs. AS TO
the interest which is taken in this wonderful
scene, it increases from day to day, and the

sIXPENCE A DAY.

A London paper furnishes us with the fol-
lowing interesting anccdote, which we wish our
young friends would read and think about.
What is said about sixpence spent daily for one
thing that is useless or hurtful (strong drink,
for example,) may be said of the sum spent for
any other hurtful or pernicious thing tobacco,
for example).
There is now an old man in the almshouse in
Bristol who states that for sixty years he spent
siXpence a day in drink, but was never intoxi-
Gated.
A gentleman who heard this statement was
somewhat curious to ascertain how much this
sixpence day, put by every year, at five per
cent, compound interest would amount to in
sixty years.
Taking out his pencil, he began to calculate.
Putting down the first years saving 0hree hun
dred and sixty-ive sixpences,) nine pounds
sterling eleven shillings and sixpence, he added
the interest, and thus went on, year by year,
until he found that in the sixtieth year the six
pence day reached the startling sum of three
thousand two hundred and twenty-five pounds
sterling nineteen shillings and nnepence More
Han .ftteen thousand doldrs.
Judge of the old mans susprise when told
that, had he saved his sixpence day, and al
lowed it to accumulate at compound interest
he might now have been worth the above noble
sum so that, instead of taking refuge in an
almshouse, he might have comforted himself
with house of his own, costing three thou
sand five hundred dollars, and fifty acres of
land, worth two hundred and fifty dollars per
acre, and have left the legacy among his chill
dren and grandchildren, or used it for the well
fare of his fellow-men!
