The InteIEigeuos learns that official advlces
from England, received by the last arrival,
reiterate friendly sentiments toward this coun-
try, disavow Intentional offence against its flag,
and state that orders have been issued by the
British Government to discontinue the visits
of its cruisers which have recently given Of
fence to our people. The Government, we
learn, does not insist on visitation or search as
q right, but, regarding both nations as solicit
Gus to put an end to the African slave trade, it
desires a mutual understanding or arrange
ment as to the proper and most acceptable
manner Of ascertaining the character OF sus-
pected slavers. The whole tenor of the dis
patches is such (the Hteit,gencer says as to
recognise the doctrine so steadily asserted by
the Government of the United States ON this
subject.
The Union devotes its to-day = leader to the
Mormon question, presenting it thus:
''The peculiarities of this Mormon system are
their religion, their polygamous marriage, and
their theocratic form of government
With the first the government is not con-
cerned; the second may be controlled only by
the local laws Of the Territory; but the last,
while it imposes no duty upon the President
Congress, that seems to be obliged by the con-
stitution to guarantee a republican form of
government to the Territories Gncipient Statcs)
of the Union. All this while the State is in
choate. When arriving at maturity, it asks
admission in the Union with a Mormon status,
the Union finds a constitutional objection,
which it states as follows:
''Polygamy destroys the family; without the
family, the State cannot be republican: and M
less the government of the State be repu blican
cannot under the constitution, il cannot i'm the
nature Of things, be member of the confcdeIa-
cy."
The Union continues-it is unnecessary to
lay down any nice definition of what republi-
can government is. 1t is enough to say that
it is popular government, the government of
all the citizens of the State, as distinguished
from an aristOcracy, an oligarchy, a monarchy,
despotism, hierarchy, or theocracy. The
Mormon government is undeniabIy Of one or
another of the latter class; it is not republican
In FORM and does not conform, either in spirit,
IN form, or in fact, to the requirements of the
Constitution in this regard.

II The trustees ofthe Dudley Observatory re
in considerable of quandary relative to the
principal professor Of the institution. A diff
Guilty has arisen between Professor Gould and
some Of the trustees which may lead to his with
drawal. IL seems that the scientific arrange
ments were placed under charge Of Professor
Bache and associates Of the United States Coast
Survey, as being the most competent judges Of
the instruments required for scientific and as
Economical purposes, and the individuals whose
practical experience were best adapted to secure
the objects contemplated in the erection and in
auguration Of the observatory. Professor Bache
Henry and Pierce selected Mr.. Gould. a pupil Of
the great Humboldt, as the best qualified person
in the country, both in science generally and as
tronomy particularly, to take charge of the Obser
Vatory. Should the difficulties now existing be
not speedily adjusted, II is feared that lamentabe
results may follow, which may ultimately lead
The Institution into a vortex from which IL would
not be easy to extricate itself. We know moth
ing concerning the real difficulties which exist.
Dat this much we will undertake to saw that i'm
our humble opinion the Coast Survey corps are
the most competent to judge as to the qualifca-
lions OF professors in the Dudley Observatory.
