The New York Star comes to tie sensible con-
clusion that DIR. Newman's mission to Salt Lake
City to beard Brigham Young in his den, and
show the Mormons the enormty of Polygamy,
viii not amount to much.
If there is anything Brigham specially prides
himself upon il is his ability a controyersialst
He has laid by a large arsenal Of ammunition in
defense Of Polygamy in the shape of Scriptural
texts, social statistics, &c. &c. and IT is the low
Of his life to invite any GENTLE preacher visit
ing Salt Lake City, to take the pulpit, or rather
the platform, At the Tabernacle and bang away
at the erormitieS of much wifeism, to his hearts
content. After which il is the wont of Brigham
to rise in his pompous way and proceed to de-
molish his opponent, which he never fails TO do
IN his own opinion and that of his followers. We
have no doubt whatever that Brigham is already
exultiDg over the prospect of having a bout with
our good Doctor Of the Metropolitan Church.
AND however sound may be the views of DR.. N.
and however ioreibly expressed, we doubt If the
controversy will result in a single convert from
Polygamy.

England goes in for Number I, and Is trying
to make the most possible, commercially, out
OF the present war in Europe, just as she did in
our civil war. She had some amazing fine
sentiments about the enormity of slavery, but
that did not hinder her from taking sides with
secession, so that she could sell guns and priya-
teers to the rebels. So just now, she is senti-
mentally on the side of Prussia, but that doesn't
prevent her from turning an honest penny by
selling weapons to Napoleon to enable him to
cut the tbToats of the Prussians.
All Prussia, il will be seen BY to-day's tele-
grams, is in a ferTent of indignation over the
GOld-blOoded " commercial policy of England,
and Prussia taunts England with undertaking
90 repeat the Alabama business.
In the end, perhaps, England will find that
there is such thing as carrying her huckster-
ing policy too far at the expense of nationa,
comfy. In the meantime we are not sorry to
have 50 powerful q convert as Prussia to our
national belief in the sordid baseness of Great
Britain in this respect.

The money market in Wall street yesterday,
showed an easier feeling. The New York Com
p'ercidl says: s'The bond market shows strong,
healthy tone. There is a considerable short in
terest on the market, made chiefly by foreign
bankers, in anticipation OF the return of large
amounts of securities from Europe. The excep-
tional frmness Of our securities ut London,
however, has disappointed this expectation and
hence there is considerable buying to cover
these contracts. The indications that the new
