Ganr Aaiuvu. or Moitrsoas.—Tho packet ship Thornton, from Liver ol, ar- rived on Saturday bringin 750 ormons, the most of whom are bound for Salt Lake. The passengers were landed at Castle Gar- den, where they remain until this morning when they start in a body for Utah. A mong them are I60 Swedes and Scotch, the larger ortion being English. They come from al parts of England, from the_ extreme north to the isle ofJei-sey, and consist offer- mers, mechanics and laborers. Among the mechanics are weavers, carpenters, boot and slioemakers, joiners, miners, potters, to. The Swedes are mostly farmers, with a few blacksmiths. Our reporters who visited Castle Garden yesterday, was told by one of the Elders who came out with them, that they were mostly old converts, often or ﬁfteen years standing, and were brought out at the cxpeiice of the Mormon Emigration fund. A good many, however, he stated, came out on their own expence. There seemed to be a preponderance of fe- males among them ; so indeed tltere ought to be, to sustain the system of polygamy which prevails at Salt Lake. The number of children, too, is very large, there being nearly one hundred under six years ofa c. There were three births on board the vessel during the voyage. The party is accotn- panied by several priests and elders, who are returning from their foreign mission. The chief of them is Elder James G. Wil- ley, who has spent the last three or four years in England collecting this flock to- gether, and who now returns to conduct them to the promised land. The captain of the Thorntoii speaks very highly of Mr. Willey’s management of the saints during the voyage. He divided the ship into seven wards, and appointed an elder over each ward to attend to the temporal and spiritual wants of the brethren, and see that they did their praying and got their rations at re- gular hours. The lower deck was divided into three wards—tlic first wai-d being oc- cupied by the Swedes and Danes, the se- cond ward by the Scotch, and the third by the single men of all nations. The upper deck consisted of four wards, and was oc- cupied by English families.

Among the passengers was a Mrs. Jervis, from Herefordshire, England, who, it ap- pears, left her husband at home, and tak- ing her two children with her, ctnbarked in company with the saints for the promised land. The husband, however, took the steamer and arrived here ahead of her. Yesterday he entered a complaint before one of our courts,. and a Itabeoccorpus was issued to bring ttpthe children, and investi- gate the merits ofthe case. .

The Mormons are experiencing hard times at Salt Lake. Food is so scarce,t hat beggary from door to door is as common as in our Atlantic cities. Brigham Young de- nounces the practice as likely to be an im- posture, though he says where any of the saints have gone ﬁve days without food, they ought to make their wants known. Rather a task for a man to support ninety wives in a country where food is so scarce.

'I‘saaiai.s Truosnr Ill Ai.uui~u.—'I'he Savanah Republican says, that great excite- ment has been created in Barbour County, Ala, by a number of Bloody outrages per- petrated by a man named Matthew Averitt, Jr., and several ofhis friends. It appears that his claims to a ferry were called in question, and rival interests opposed them- selves. The matter has been agitated for some time, and the citizens on both sides of the river have become very much excited, and have repeatedly torn down the gate. On the 26 his relatives armed and secreted themselves

near the gate, for the purpose of defending ‘

it. Upon the approach of a party for the purpose of crossing, and when about to pass through, the concealed men fired upon them, mortally wounding a man and a boy and severely wounding two other ‘men. During the evening, a party of eight men who had come from Georgia to escort the wounded men home across the river were

ﬁred upon while in the boat, and seven of

them were wounded; one thought to be m‘erts|l . An officer, with a posse, was in search of the odenders. . .

There has been found on board $2700 good money. and a quantity of bogus gol coin. away in an old boot was discovered a par- cel of manuscript papers written in the Portuguese language. A cursory reading of the same showed allusion to several merchants and others of New York, and they will prove the means of developing some facts that will implicate ccr-tnin ar- ties as interested in the slave trade. ive Colt’s revolvers were also found, with all the barrels loaded.

Padre Vigil was nearly suffocated on Sa- turday night in-New York, having gone to bed in his room at the Metropolitan with the gas escaping. Not being used to that sort of light, on retiring he blew out the gas,

The Supreme Court is more busily employed this, than it has been for several terms past. There is it great want of some improvement in t e formation ofjuries in the first instance and rules for their better guidance in the trial of causes in the second.

As matters mind, the most intelligent men in our nut mcr-crowded population are select- ed for Grand Jurors, and ii. seat in the Petit Jur box is considered merely as a stepping stone to one in the Grand Jur room. ‘is’ ii. lmaxim that once a Grand uror always a Grand Juror, and that there would ii. loss of cost and a species of degradation in Icing suminon- ed as a Juror for the trial of it cause, unless it was as a Special Juror : in the latter case there is an appearance of distinction that re- conciles the party to the performance of ft duty which would otherwise be distasteful. But in truth, there ought to be no such distinction. We wish the word Pelit was discarded and the word trial, or some equivalent term substituted in its place, and that the same list served for both Juries,and thus the trial by Jury would in reality be an introduction to the Grand Jury and the parties to suits would have the beneﬁt of the experience of talented and older men, and the new jury men be all the better directed in their judgment by association with ,and hear- in the arguments of their seniors on their retirement to the Jury room to consider their verdict. Besides, the old story of keeping twelve men locked up until they all agree, is not worthy of the age, and is being gradually altered by all intelligent communities.

The case ofJames Stewart vs. John M‘Leod and others, was begun on Tuesday and took up that and the subsequent day, the Jury were out all Wednesday ni ht, but could not agree and were discharged on Thursday morning about 12 o'clock without having come to a decision.

This case arose out of the famous Dunstalfnage school care, in which a verdict was given last term for the present plsintiﬁ, who was plain- til’ in the other case. The cause of action was a subs uent trespass upon the same land.

John . Gates vs. Andrew Doyle. This case was tried last term, and the Jury dismissed because they could _not agree. After a hearing. which took up the ' whole of Thursday the Jury brought in a verdict for plaintiﬂ‘ of £22 for the horse and £9 2s:6d. for the hire of the same, and allowing the defendant his full set

To run Enrroa or IlAsuxn's GAIITTI. Dear Sir ;

In closing the correspondence, I beg to make one or two observations upon “ Inquirer's” last communication.

1. So far from having overthrown my argu- ment in any one point in the controversy, he has not attempted to grapple with it. In re- ference to the Abraliauiic Covenant, he has not only not attenipted to show, that my arguments are unsound : s has not tried to answer the objections I started against his view of that transaction. He has therefore, very wisely sounded a retreat.

2. As a pretext for retreating, he has laid hold of certain expressions in the second of my papers, which he represents as inconsistent with propriety and Christianity. Their consis- tency with the spirit of true religion, I shall not take the trouble to defend, it is enough for me, that they were consistent with, and re- quired by, the spirit cl‘ his communication. It will be recollocted, that after my givin an ex- position of my view of tho Abrahuuiic Covenant Vnccolupamictl with proofs, he cxclaiius with an air oftriuuipli ngaint “ the so-called aruwers,” represented me as wanting in “ .r!raigh(forw¢rd- near," while, at the some time, he never at- tempted to refute them. and at the end sum- moned mo afresh “ to answer, or at least try to answer ” his ucries. I should certainly have been deficient. in “ slraigltlforwardncss ” had I not addressed myself to such arrogance and insolsnce. no matter from what quarter they proceed. The rson who chooses to call u the spirit of controversy from “ the vssty deep, ' and to team it when evoked, must abide the conse uences.

0 cover his retreat, he has raised a cloud of dust in the shape of a multitude of referen- ces to texts and authorities. In respect to the first, I hiive proved that he does not understand them, and in regard tp the second, I will sim- ply remark, that supposing their writin a war- rant the inference, they merely counterbalance each other on this subject and its cognate, the Millenium, it is not to be denied, there has been is great abundance of absurd writing.

events, he can give no satisfactory reason for it. I wonder what would convince him of his error l—If any of those worthies, as David and Samuel mentioned in xi of the Ilebrews, were to rise from the grave and to tell him, that though they lived in the land of Canaan, they did apt “ receive I promise," that is the thing promised. only “the semi! trier of, one’
