There is again trouble among the Mormons. Brigham Young. the temporal as well or spiritual Governor of Utah territory, linviiig fallen out with satire of his chief oflicial co:idjiitiire,li:is ordered them to abdicste his doniinions.

A man in New York lizis discovered a new mode of “ shooting ahead.” It is it Mr. Diiggett, who has acquired sonic notoriety by his connection witbn Flying Machine, and he uridertiikes to propel an engine by the iictioii of powder instead of ste.-iin. '1‘he Till!!! ‘says the power is obtriined by regular explosions nfsmrillquiintiiies of gunpowder. A workiirg model in operation is eetiinatctl to consume about two ounces ofgtinpoivder per mile with the priiportioiiato iveiglit offour or five cars attached. Itcan he used on common roads, applied to common carriages, and it is said to be perfectly noiseless in its operations. It is said, several successful tests have been made in the presence of two or three scientific men and engineers, and that Mr. Lee, Superintendent of the Boston and Providence llriilrond thinks favourably of the invention, and has consented to lay the sub- ject before the Directors of that road.

He h:td the building in the park. known as I ie diiiry which his lordship is about to pull diiwn, prepared for the purpose. The building is circular and of conside iible ditnensioiis, with windows and doors all round, all of . which were taken out. admitting it strong current ofiiir, which was increased by a sort of funnel ventilator opening through the roof. This was filled with a very large body of dry poles, pine boards, it large quzintity of dried fuggots, and the place well bedded with sh.-tvings, die. 1'‘ or the purpose of keeping up it fierce fire, a dozen trir linrrels were

laced in the centre of this pile. Mr. Francis Morton of the firm of Iirancis and H J Morton, of‘ North John street, the sole agents for the atom, at‘ ‘ ‘ rind minutely described the invention rind the mac iiies to Lord and Lady Derby. '1‘|ie fire was allowed to burn some time when his lordship gave the word, nail the tnncliineir were struck ofl'; from the moment the vapour was brought to bear upon the burning pile, the flames liecnriie iiiettintly ciiiitriilled. rind were extinguished with the marvellous rapidity which cliriracleiisce the ltvention and in a few minutes the vtliole body of tire was put out. All eseiit expressed their satisfitction at the coiiipletii success whic had attended the trial. _

Ifwe look as the Ioor ofthe House for the old Liberal innjority —wliere is it 1 The Hon. Speaker may support the ielrristry—-he may throw to the winds his strong public prejudices-—ltis long- chierislied views, and units with his ieisieilinle followers in the Assembly in an port of the Gc\'erntriaat—lie tarry do this-—but we doubt it. We believe he trill pursue it very different ceurse.

IVs cannot dream that the I on. Mr. Johnston will go over to Ilowe with his piirty—lt would be tnorti absurd to suppose this than even the nilliereii-e of Ilr. Young. Not that Mr. Jolinston is iigitiiiiit political reform-—cr the introduction of new political feittusce iiitooar new inittituiioas-lieciiesa we conceive he would, at the present time go even e rtrpforlhcr than the Liberals; but admit- tit this. it does not follow that he would support it Guveriirneiit whi-~h he has denounced in such utirneasuretl terriis.

'I‘hcii there is ttiiritlie prirty springing up in tile llotlee, lb mem- bers of which once belonging to the tild Ltberiil rtirijority—but who will , r . it no long Their feelings have irnile one a chsii e. rind irieteitd of Rmipniicible Goverriiiieiit, they iiiiw rbiols for In e- pismleiice. and have outstripped their leaders. Of this class tire fileurs. Killain, Brown, &I:., who, we are safe in iuiyiiig, cannot be coiieidere.l supporters of .\Ir. llowe'ii liuvcinriieiit.

Then there are iti.tiiy iniiinbers who have as yet given the sub- ject very little consi.lurutioii, and ivli-so fuislltigs are by no inetiiis eriliiited iii belizilfof th it Giiveriiuiiint, ovoii if they do not incline the other wriy—iiie:i who feel llittl, ris it is at present constituted, it is not it hit too It’) ulrtr, and that their own pripiilarity would be cniiipromised slioulilpthey cast in their lot with ii; men who are quietly rttvailllttg some new l'e.-tturu before they llltIl(l! up their inin ls.

From all Iliese causes. there is tilittost ii certainty that the ele- inciits of xi powerful Guverntneiit do not exist in the present House of ltt-.preeeiitittives. Members, it is true, have united right man- fully and buried every party prejudice with regard to one measure —biit tlnit measure has been adopted —it is nriiv safe, and beyond the dniiiitging elliscts ofaiiy political struggle wliicli iii.iy succeed its pnssiigc, and, this being the case, we believe, that the next question which will occupy the llllllll til’ the r-iiuiitry will ho-—Shnll we entrust the taoiistructinii of the llitilwny to the existing Govern- ment its it is at present constituted ? And we think the House will refuse to do so. It is possible that there may be it iii.-ijiirity for it —but so iiiriall ivill it be, that the leader of that Goverrtirieiit, scorn- iiig such iiri ertprcssiiiii of cnrilideiice as that displayed by it brire ni-ijority of one or two —tiiid perfectly oriscioiis of lrtviiig perforrri- eil Iris duty and sritistirid llirtt his ct)tII'.v: is duly rippiecirited will advise an appeal to the country, niiil conliilently trust to the result ofiitiiitlicr (ieneritl I-Ilcclioii, in the full hope and t-xpectiition. tliiit lrrippr.-ii ivlint may to the ministry of which It.) is now ti iiicrribcr, his policy will be iriistiiiiitéd, and on ciiiplialio vote of confidence be passed in him by the united ciiniitit Gllclcll of Nova Sctitia.
