A letter from Norfolk says:-"No matter
how much cur people of Norfolk differ in
relation to politics, war, and religion, they
all agree as to one point: the stagnGtion Of
business and dullness of the borough. All
the varied departments of trade are greatly
depressed, and need the reviving influences
of general prosperity. The only consolation
seems to be in the anticipation Of al invigor-
atng season OF business in the coming au-
tumn"

No difficulty is likely to arise between the
American adventures in New Caledonia and

commerce. The proclamatons Of Governor

In Brooklyn, last Friday, the prominent
event of the day was the execution of James
Kelley, for the murder of his wife. Though
somewhat private affair, all sorts of ingenui-
ty were employed to gain admission to the
Jail enclosure, some persons bayipg such in
tense curiosity as to induce them to offer from
five to fifteen dollars for admission. lnclu-
ding the military and police there were about
four hundred witnesses of the scene. Strange
to say, quite number of females witnessed
the execution from the windows OF the sheriti's
psrlor, and the male prisoners were seen
forcing their heads through the barred Wiz,

spectacle.

The correspondent of the New York Times
in Utah, gives an interesting account Of an
interview with Brigham Young. In the
course of conversation, the Prophet gave
foil exposition of bis views. While profess
ing extreme reverence for law, love for the
constitution, and desire to obey the law ofthe
country, Brigham yet INDUCED in comments
upon the relations of the Mormons to the
general government, which DO not SAVIOR of
submission. He explicitly declared that if
the President failed to redress Mormon grleV-
auces, "the Mornons would redress them
for themselves" Other language, of similar
tenor, was employed, evincing settled pur-
pose of hostility to the government.

The Washington Union AYERS that 20 fail
ure to abide by the laws of the democratic
party is the HIGHEST CRIME that rep
resentative can commit" because, it says, 'it
is convinced there is NO possible way, that
there are no known means, by which the Of
fairs of the federal Union can be conducted,
except through the agency of the democratic
party" The opinion expressed, and the rea,
son given for it, are both on a par. thought
to be added that the Union itself admits that
it's declaration may have the ring of ex-
treme partizanship; may sound harsh, intol-
Grant and bigoted." We presume there are
yery few who will not admit that fact.
