LIVERPOOL, April 10-Midnight.-A banquet to Charles Dickens was given this evening at St. George's Hall, in this city. About soven hundred g3ntlemon sat down to the table, and Lhere wero also many spectators. The hall was gracefully decorated with fligs an 1 ban? ners. The proceedings wore characterized throughout with good feeling and enthusiasm. 8?r Henry Houghton and Hepworth* Dixon presided. After the usual toasts had been drunk, Lord Duff .Tin ma Jo a pleasant speech. He regretted that Mr. Dickens had n it entered the field of politics. He would have boen a power in the Houso of Commons, and a fellow peer of Macaulay. Lord Lytton, at length, in glowing terms, proposed the health of Charles Dickens, when Mr. Dickens arose, &iC, with much emotion, responded. He said he felt be was unable to do justice to his feelings. Liverpool, after I/$adon, was always loremost in his estimation. She was always ready to respond, open-hand? ed and munificently, to all appeals for aid to ort and literature. R {erring to the romarks of Lord Deffeno, Mr. D.ckens said that, after mature d?lib?ration, be bad decided to stand and fall by literature, and not to enter politics. Thus far be had not regretted his decision. Anthony Trollope also responded to a senti? ment. He euiogizod Washington Irving, Mr. Motley, and the American people. The latter were uiways willing to rccoguizo publicly tho honor due to hteiarj men. Ho closed by hinting that th? appointment of Charles Dick? ens os Minister to Washington might "oe bene? ficial to both countries. FRANCE.

From tbo Philadelphia papers we gather the following interesting particulars in relation to Twitclicll, who coraniitioJ suicide iu prison, and ?aton. who was lnnecd in that city on Thurs? day last. The coroner's jury in tho case of Twitcliell rondcred a verdict of " death by poi pon supplied to tho deceased by somo person u'iknown." TwitcbcH's father testified to hav? ing no knowledge nf the contemplated suicide, though bia sou bad declared in advance of thc trial that "ho would rather tear 1rs veins out with his tooth than bo hanged." A druggist testi? fied that I witchell asked him on Wednesday to furnishhini with prussic acid, which the drug? gist decliued to do. Wo make thc following extracts : FUNERAL OF TWITCH ELL. The body ot thc suicido was baned on Satur? day from tuc house ut' Mr*. .Moore, a family connection, No. 1030 South Fouith-strcet, hav? ing been removed from tho pu'son cell on Thursday, but. by au unaccountable mistako, they were conveyed to tho late rasidcnco of Gerald Eaton, near tho prison. Wheu the caso in which they were enclosed was there opened, in exciting scene transpired on ascertaining that tho blunder had been committed. The body ot tho suicide was very elabora.cly sre pured f jr thc final rites. It was clothed in a pure white siiroud, and encased in an elegant ceffia covered with black cl nh ?md ornamented with uiver mountings. Rich ofLri .ga of flow? ers had been made by his themis, and these were profusely strewed around and over thc remains. Rev. Mr. Bnnghuist officiated at the luueral, and thc remains were interred according to thc ruc* of thc Troteo ant Episcopal Church, ibo only persons pres? ent were tho lather and brother of Twitched, and a few ot his near relatives. Mrs. Twitclicll was not among the number. Tho nus; studied arrangemento had been made to have the adair conducted with tho strictest secrecy and privacy. But, in spite of this, tho people iu tho neighborhood had lear^d ol the contem? plated funeral and an immense crowd ea tiered about tue house. Mrs. Mooro states that the last visit paid to TwitckolJ by his wife was on the evening o? Friday, two weeks ugo." On this occasion the husband said to the wife: "Ca? milla, some l.gbt must be thrown upon this murder." Mrs. Moore said that Twitcbcll told ber, "that his first impulse on thc night of the murder was to alarm the neighbors when she told him of tho deed, but his second impulse was to screen his wife." HlSTOSr OF THE TWITCHBLLS -STATEMENT OF MRS. TWITCH ELL. The Philadelphia Transaipt publishes thc followiug interesting details of tho history of the Twitchell family, not heretofore printed : Mrs. Twitchell was born ID Washington, her mother being then known os Mis. Werntz. Her father was Revolver Speucor, a Methodist clergyman of, tomo reputation. In 1814, tho mother a id daughter removed to Cincinnati, remained there four years, during which time Camilla was kuorcn as Miss Sawyer, ber moth? er hiving a married sister ot that name. This is probably lb? ongm ot the story that Mrs. Twitchell was tho illegitimate daughter of a member ot Uo:>gre63 Eruto Ohio. Io 1818, Mrs. Werntz and daughter carno to Philadelphia, and the former married Mr. Hill. Shortly aftciward. Cain lia roamed R enard Martin, a clerk in a dry giods sure. Al er living to? ge her five years, Mai tin left his wife, alleging acts of impropriety on her pjrt, but she took tho initiative in subsequent proceedings for divorco. which culminated in a legal seiiiva tioo in 1833. Camilla thou resumed tho u imo of Sawyer, returned to her mother's house, and lived t :cie with her and Mr. Hil). She then became acquainted with Twitchell. Sr., then a widower with several children, includ? ing George S. Twitchcll, au illegitimate eon, who had booti born in Brooklyn, bia mother dying soon after his birth. Camilla was tu gaged as housekeeper, and removed with Twitchell, Sr., to New Jersey, lt is denied most positively by all parties that there was any impropor intimacy between Mr. Twitchell and his housekeeper. On the contrary, Camil? la's conduct is represented to have been blameless. ' She waa a member of Dr. Lord's church, i i Broad-street, near Cbostuu., and in her character as housekeeper was paid regular wag ?s, and for extra a rviees rccoived extra pay. When GeorgeS. Twit euell reached man? hood he was accepted as tho suitor of his fa? ther's housekeeper, atid in 1854 was married. Wo have already said that Mrs. Twitchcll was not yet ready to give to the public a for? mal s.atement ; but while in prison awaiting trial, in conversation with prison officials, she made a partial explanation, which bas never been published. YYhcu informed of her hus? band's conviction and thc probabilities of her own fate, she remarked, '* I know nothing of tbis mnrder. That aiteruoon Georgo aud I were oat riding, and when we got back to thu house mother was getting tea. As Sarah C 'mpbell had gone o tt, I noticed tha'. G. orgo was very much de Dressed in spirits. Ho never was much ot a tal..er. but this night he was quieter than usual. He scarcely *poke at all. At the table and after supper I said to mother there is something tho mattoi- with George. Suppose you go and talk with him while I clear away the tlrugB ; iud when I got through I went to my room, and Georgo was then iu thu silting room reading tho paper and smoking a cigar. I went to bcd, and I don't knowhow, long I slept, when I was aroused hy the cry nw Sarah Campbell in the kitohen. This ?.s'aflB only stateuiPut sho ha3 ever mado, whatcwr* she may 'lave communicated to her counsel. The Transcript contiuues as follows: Why Mrs. Twi chell coased hor visits to the prison, al tho outset, it may bo well to inform our readers that on tbe day ot tho inquest she appealed to her husbanu to toll what ho knew ot'thc murder, and that, if he was guilty, to act hbo aman and relieve her. This no refus? ed to do. A.ter ber acquittal sho did call at the prison, but instead oi thc grcoiing ou her part being warn aud affectionate, it was as c x>l a* would naturally be tho case of one who looked upon ber husband as tli9 murderer of her mother. Immediately after her acquittal, Twitchell and his friends commenced paving tho way to a sta'.eme?t hom Mts. Twitchell, which would take from him tho charge und transfer it to his wile. So shrewd were tho parties ongagod, that one of them visited Dan? iel Dougherty, Esq., to ascertuiu from him whether a person onco acquitted on the chargo of murd-r could bo tried a socond time, al? though there bo a confession of guilt, ibo re? sponse being that there could uot be a recoud trial, the efforts wero renewed wi.Ti le doubled vigor, until Mrs. Twitchell's frienus hoard of them aud advised her to absent her? self from rfrisou. Sho always denied any com? plicity in the murder, and her tears <>f confes? sion by him were based ga tho fact that she knew that he did not believe in tho immortali? ty ot the BOUI, aud that his professions of piety wero designed niciely to further hts ef? forts in ?he came ot life which ho was playing. O.hers beside herself had everv reason i? teol assured that bc would not hesitate to sarohis life, for there ts every reason to believe that at least one humau beiug, George S. Twnchcll, Jr., confessed his ' rime aud made himself sole actor in the tragedy. Throughout this effort to indu e hi3 w.fo to take upon herself an unjust ?tccusitiou in order to sive his life, Twitchell had frequent conversations w.tL her friends, who, anxuus as they Wf-rc to assis: him, could not overlook the diimning proofs of his own guilt. They saw the inherent 1111 TOIJ abilitie8 ot his coults-uon, and they were anx? ious to have some parts ot it explained tu tho satisfaction of the public. A day or two bet?re his death uis strong love of life lcd him again to refer to it, and bo remarked to Ins aunt, Mrs. Moore, "It is hard that I have to die tor this thing." Mrs. Mooro thcu inquired of the prisoner, "How eau j ou account or the blood that was lound on jour shirt?" Twitonell ic lated to her thc circumstances of tho mulder in keeping with his So-called confession. Ho told her how '"lin was amused by his with call? ing bim; that ho went down into tho dinug ruoni and was thoro told that she hail quarrel? led with her mother and had murdered her. My first impulse was to af?irui thc neighbors, but my second impulso was lu save my wile." twitchell then staled to Mrs. Mooro tho circumstance* attending tho throwing of tho body (rum the wiuduw. lie BPierted that he grasped the body ot the mur? dered woman by tho head aud shoulders, while his Wlfo took hold ol the feet. fliey then bor.- i the body ot the wintlow and rested it on tho sill, in wbiob position it was held by Ttvicholl while his wile ran down stairs and ?at into tho yard, immediately under thc window. When ehe reached this* position Twitchell quietly lowered the bodv into tho anns of his wife, by whom it was laid at length upon the pavement. In this way he accounted for thc circumstance that thc body was not lound thiown together os it mirbt have beon if hurled violently from the window, but laid out in a straightened posi? tion. Twitchell concluded by fraying that lie supposed thc blood came upon his clothing bv his having bold ot the murdered woman in the manner described Mrs. Moore inquired what became of Camilla's clothing? How was it that it was not as bloody as yours? To tliis he .responded that ber clothing was carried oft". In thc lace of all those confessions, Mrs. Twitchell has remained quiet. She realized that if she denied tho story while her husband was alive, she would bo accused of an attempt to insure his death. She was willing not to tall what she knew it that would bo of any ser? vice to bim. She was also willing to assist lum to the extent of ber mean3, bat when be wish? ed ber to go a step further and assert herself erin Itv of a crime she did not commit, sbo left him." It is anticipated that in a few days Mrs. Twitchell will make a full statement in her own behalf. FOREIGN SUMMARY. -The ladies of Hungary li ive asked Parlia? ment to authorize the Queen of Hungary (the Empress, Elizabeth ot Austria) to appoint twenty female members of the Hungarian House of .Magnates. -Thc Queen of Holland recently made an attempt at suicide.

A more thorough knowl? edge of the elements of drill and disciplino ie also perpetually being impressed. -Mr. Vernon Harcourt, "Historicus," of tho London Times, is said to bo extremely unat? tractive in person and manners. One of the London papers tells tho story as current an;ong the clubs, that B?X gentlemen mutnally agrood to dine together, each asking the most unpop? ular man of his acquaintance to join the p irty, thus making twelve in all, and that when the company assembled there were but seven to sit down to dinner. Each had sclcctod Mr. Harcourt as Li j most unpopular acquaintance. -Some rather curious statistics have been eol'ectel in roferenco to tho composition of tho British Hon^c of Commons. It is said to contain 333 university graduates, omong whom aro 151 of Oxford and 122 of Cambridge.

Nearly seven hundred co? pies of that publication were found at tho resi? dences of two of the accusod; thcro were also found a petticoat with eight large pockets, by the aid of which one of tho females had re? cently brought from Brussols ono hundred and . thirty numbers of tho prohibited work, and a waistcoat, flannel vest and belt; containing m all twemj-threo receptacles, in which ono of tho men had mported one nuudred and sev? enty copies. The accusod wore ?entended lo termt of imprisonment varying troin twj to eix months, with tho addi'ion of fines. -Recent proceedings of thc North German Confederation force upon Iookorc-oa the con? viction, which is also universally prevalont in Germany, that tho present state of things is merely provisional, and that it is designedly eucb. At tho present moment,, for ali intents aud purposes, the twenty-four millions who make up tho mighty kingdom of Prussia are living a double p ?litical lifo, and arc ruled by a double govorntnont. On tho ono aido (.hero is tho Prasaiao Parli uncut, ?lie Ptusaun Min? istry and tho Prussian bureauoracy; on the other bid ? there is the National Parliament, tho Federal Chancellor, and tho Federal Chancellor's offije. Tho individuals who com? pose tbeso bodies are vory much the same. Four-fitths of thu National Pirliamcnt cou nistof Piussta.i representatives; and the Fed? eral Chancellor and tho Prussian Promicr arc ono and thc samo person. To judgo by pres? ent appearances, it is to the National Parlia? ment that tho ceu're of political gravity is rapidly shifting, and in tho Federal Chancel? lor's ofhco that tho executive is beginning to centralize. Rapid strides arc being mado to? wards tho creation of a federal government, and tho federal government once in existence, must bo looked upon as the half-way boute to tho creation of the fcdoral eovereign, i. e., to the assumption by the Crown of Prussia of a title, bo it that of emperor or of king of ibo Germans, which, while investing it with sover? eign prerogatives over the confedeiati in in i's owu right (an 1 not L>y moro procuration ?ia at present.) will complete thc national structure of the present edifice.

TUE CLOSE OF COHO It ESS. EXCITING SC?NES AMONG THE UODtL LEGIS? LATORS. Fierce Talk Between Butler, Logan and Scnenck. The Washington correspondent of tho Now York Herald, describing the lasi hours of the Forty-first Congress on Saturday rnorniDg, says : Tho closing scenes in tho House were both exciting and ludicrous. After midnight, when thc galleries began to thin out, members threw aside tho little restraint and reserve which the presence of persons in tho galleries poems to impose Their conduct was. if possible, less dk'itifi?d, and their goneral bearing and de? meanor secmol to say, "Well, wo are alone now, and we will do just ai wo please." By oce o'clock, everybody had loft except a few ..egrocs who were asleep in tho gallery just behind tho clock and a mau scattered hmo and thor?, be? sides a tow reporters who seemed determined to seo tho thine out. It was noticeable about this time, that many members were absent from their seats, .-ometimes it was difficult wheu thc House was dividing to get a quorum. Tlic cxpi iiiation was to be iouud in the face that up in the law library of the linus; Sam Ward, Butter's '.Bismarck Jr.," of impeach? ment iiotoriely. had sot out an elegant lunch, with plenty ot cbanffmgne to wash it down, to which bo iuvne-i all the members without dis? tinction of party. Just back ot tho lobby is tho room of the bcigo.nit-at-arnis. Colonel Ordway. Herc. too. was a lunch, Strictly temperance, though; only coffee to bo had in the way of beverages, lt was of a more public nature than Sam Ward's, for Ordway's invitation ex? tended to all thc mcmbeis and employees of thc IJouse, even dowu to tho liitio pages. With Ordway's attraction at one side o' the hall, and that of Sam Ward at thc other, Mr. Speaker Blaine was forceo to order "lelleis" on every demand for a divi? sion of tho Uouso. ?bou1, two o'clock thc hall of tho H mao resembled a hug?, smok? ing room; nearly everybody had u cigar in his mouth and was puffing away vigorously, as if legislative inspiration and wisdom was to bo gathered from the weed. Some uioinbors were sitting with their fpet upon tho desks; others walked norvously around tho hall, casting slurp g'ances towards tho speaker's desk, no.v and again, as if watching .whon the r "little bill" would bo leached cu tho sneaker's table; still others stretched themselves upon the sofas and went to sleep. Une bill altor alter another was taken UD and disposed cf. Hal few measures got through without resistance. The Democrats, maddened by the success of themajoriiy in ousting their political colleagues and ch.grinedat thc paBsago of tho Virginia, Mississippi and Texas Reconstruction bill with thc hated Morton amendment to it, were in no humor to facil?talo tho passage of other meas? ures in vhicb they had little or no mtcrost. Motions for a recess, followed by demands for a division, tellers and the yeas and na>H, wero ot frequent occurrence, -io often was tho roll c 11 ?eel that both the regular reading clerks be? came hoarse and hal to bo reliayed by fresh recruits. When Hohenck aroao io make his report from the Couferenco Committee ou the Supplementary Whiskey and Tobacco Tax nil! the members were generally III' their seats; tho respective lunches of Sam. Ward and Colonel Ordway hadgiveD out; members who had laid down carly in the evening to take a nap woko un and resumed their cigars; everything as? sumed a:i air of business, and th ero was a manifest intention to do somo work, ti.ough it. was then close on to three o'cl iel; in tho morn? ing. Stihenck proceeded to explain and . dvo eate tho committee's report and manl? iest ly anticipated but li tie opposition. He was suddenly sot upon, however, by Generals Lo/aii and Butler, who not oiny denounced thc committee's report, but in? sinuated rather broadly that tho new Commis? sioner ot Internal Revenue, tho 'ouictenco Committee and tho chairman of tho Ways and Means Committee himself, were not above sus? picion nor by any means as honest as they should bb. This aiouscd Schenck's slugg sh Dutch blood, aud rising, with his lists clenched and his i-quare j twa sot like thuse ot a bull? dog, ho commenced in a s-arcastic vein to por tiay tho immaculate honesty ol his assailants. Towards the close of his speech ho los? his temper a little and became somewhat personal in Ins remarks, upc iking of somo tuen who ad? ded '. cowardice to lalsehood." General Logan was sitting a tow feet behind Sobeuck with his feet upon tho desk, half asleep, behenck's sharp tones awakcuo . him-and jumping hast? ily to his feet, ho exclaimed : " I want to know if the gui. tl cm au from Ohio alludes to mo, when ho speuks of cowardice and t&Uc bood?" Scnenck, at the beginning ol his speech, bad given, notico that ho did not waul to bo interrupted, but thc defiant tune of Logan's interrogatory biought Seheuck lo a sudden huit; and, after pausing a sufficient ti.no to allow Lo tran to get his question in, ho answered, "No, s.r, I do not." General But? ler was smoking a cigar and hobnobbing with his ronner brethren on tho Democratic side of the House, wheu Bi.igham, who w.is in jolly h unnir. cried oui, "Butler, he means you." Butler tuniMl suddenly and walked at a rapid strum towards his own scat on the Repuulicau side ol' the House. Ho reached it just in time lo get in a question at Schenck, who was about to stait off again on the rampage. Ho was. less direct than Ligan, who went io the chair? man of thu Ways a..d Means tu L ue soldierlike style. Instead ot saving "Does the gentle? man from Ohio rofer to me when ho sneaks of cowardice and falsehood?" ho mei cly said, in a good humored way, 'Docs tho gentleman not know that tho Pharisee once said: '1 thank God Unit I um not as other men?' " Had limier boen us blunt in his inquiry an Logan, he would, it is said, have boon told, "Thou urt tho man." As it was. Schenck retorted upon him more h-rculv (han ever, and added thu word "hypocrisy ' to the words "oowurdicu and lalfeuood.'' jiutlcr mode no response, hut wen; away smoking his cigar as complacently as ii nothing had happened, as if no insult had oeun put upon him. This served to uucouragu Schenck, and ho went ou talking, as every body knew, at Bailer in tho most cutting sty .e. At twenty-five minutes past thrco, when tho members were literally worn out, with the labors and excitement of thu day,-thu ii m-u took a recess until ten o'clock this morning. Ai thal hour there was nothing ?ike a quorum ni tho ball, aud ibose who wero preseni gave marked tukens of having becu out late thu , re? noue night. Some, it was thought, showed signs ot having been moro than uuce at Sum. Ward's lunch room. Tho whole crowd looked rather "hard," and evidently not in the best of humor. Many of them had their c irpet-oags on their desks, so aa to be ready tu icavo ou lue m 'O.i tram lot their homes, lt .vas an un? fortunate timo tut oOAce-soefcing constituents 'o ask members to "sign" tor mein, and nu ny a poor fellow of this class going up to his niombor, whom ho hal left in good temper tho day boforo, was fearfully snubbed with the reply. "1 havo been u . all u.ght and um in no humor to look alter your caso now." 1 ho majority were iu as little hu? mor lor legislativo business as they were for signing petunia lor office-seekers.

Half Fare for the Delegates. By tho following correspondence, it will be seen that delegates to the approaching State Agricultural Convention will be passed over the South Carolina Railroad for half fare. We presume that tho oilier railroads of the State will cheerfully m.iko a similar conossaion : CHARLESTON, April 9,1869. H. T. Peake. Superintendent Transportation Soutli Carolina Railroad: DEAR SIR--I am taking dee,) intorest in the proposed agricultural convention, to coivjne in Columbia on the 28th instant, which rails on Wednesday. Tho call for this convention, ns I compre? hend the movemont, is to suggest measures for promoting the wollare ot all classes, by harmonious action, in treing to adopt tho best systems of agriculture, in conjunction with Southern manufacturing and mechanical pur? suits, and to find out the m ist. reliable plans of hbor nnd laborers, as well as to point out to immigrants the many inducements which invite them to our genial climate and fertilo soil and ehcap homos. My object in addressing you is to know what furo the railroa I will authorize mo to say will bo enarged to dclogatea who aro going (as a matter of duty to their poor State) to partici? pate in tho deliberations of thc convention. I believe tho action of tuc convention will be to advanco tho futuro prospeiity of ah our rail? roads. Very truly ; oura, WM. M. LAWTON, President South Carolina Iustitute.

A Salt Lako correspondent of tho Cincinnati Commercial writes as follows : Anot.ier evil beginning to show itself is the mixing ot k nd red blood. Tho marriage of cousins is too ommou, and I am told that sev? eral casca have occurred wore uncle and nicco were married, but I know personally of no such case. Thcro aro several cases of a man marrying both motlier and daughter, and tho marriage of two or throe sisters by one wan is quito common. Robert Sharkey, a merchant of thin etty, married thrco sisters, one of whom was divorced from hor first husband omitry lum. They all lived in one boase, and quite happily, lt ia said, for several years, wuen in sotno st tango manner they ml becamo convinced that polygamy waa wrong. One of the sisters started East, but soon returned aud e ideavor c.t to mtko some arrangement for him to put away tho other two. There w.-ru difficultiea in the way. and Skarksy's trouulc was BO great ou the subject that bia mind became disordered, and last August bo committed suicide by sboo - mg him-elf through the hoad. Tho widowed attora still live together, aud are determined oppononts of polygamy. Two of Brigham Young's favorito wives, Clara Decker and Lucy Decker Secly, aro eialcrs. tho second having beon tue widow of Dt. Is tac Seely, of Nauvoo, Illinois. The Mormon leaders advise aman to marry sisterB whenever 1. can be dono, as they usually agroe butter i han otheis.' One l&mily within my knowledge consists of two men and tour women, the men's first wives being sisters, and their second wives each a sistor of the other man, all living in ono house. Or to state it mathematically. A and B first marry sisters, i hen A marries B's sister and B A's sis? ter. Here is no marriage of bloo.l relations, at'd yet it looks like a terriblo mixture some? where. The question arises lor lawyers : sup? pose each ot the women to have children, what akin are tboy respectively ? And Winch of them could lawfully murry according to Leviticus and Chancellor Kent? If polygamy continues, these mixtures are nothing to what must take place iu tho next generation, for without a chemical analysis no "Heraldry Harvey"could ever succeed in finding tho consangu?neoua circulation, to say nothing of tho collateral. ''Aa it now is, it acorns like halt tho children in tho city are related in some way or another to the Ktiuballs, tho Pratts, or the Youngs, and many of them to all three." Among my ac? quaintances ia a middle-aged lady, living just over tho Jordan River, who waa tho widnv of an apostate who diod in California, but ie now i he third wife of a Morman. The brother of ber first hu-band, now Irvine bore, is aleo an apostate, und a personal friend of mino. Tho lady has a handsomo daughter, now seventeen years old, tho offspring of ber first husband and tho niece of my inotid. ?ho lady is kind-hearted and hospitable, and, in company with my friend, I enjoy a visit at lier house very much, aa loni.' as wc can avoid tho subject of Mormonism. Lately tins lad\'s husband baa propaaed inform for her daughter to marry bim, and I can BOC that it is lue strongest trial tho mother's faith has had, but such is ber devotion to tho doctrine that she bas given hor cousent, "if Br-ther Brig? ham sa>8 it is the will of tho Lord." The daughter, however, aBBuros her uncle thal abe ' will dio before abo will marry him or any other Mormon." For tho sako of peace she says nothing at home, but declares her ?nten ticu to rmi away rather than eubinit. The mother, like mauy othera, sayB abo "would ra thor see lier daughter in the coffin than mar? ried to a Gentile, for that would bo ber eternal ruin for both worlds." All, however, aro not BO zealous on this subject, und ibero is quito a number of Mormon women wuo think that a mistake bas been mado somehow, that poly? gamy ia not of tho Lord, thar it is not truo Mormoni8m. &c. Those who believe in it speak of it as "a great cross, laid upon thom in this world for then1 exaltation tn the noxt," Ac. I bis city already shows its bad effect 011 tho offspring. Tho sito is MOO toet above the lovel of Hie boa. in a dry and bracing climate, equal? ly free from cxiroino* of heat and cold, and coi sequeutly it should oe ono of the healthiest atna in thc world. Exactly tue ieversc is the fact. The death rate, or all ages, is a little more than twice that ol tho State ot Oregon, ui.d stealer than that ot New York or New Or? leans. When wo come to children, the dis? parity is still more frightful. By actual statis? tics it ia shown that tho mortality among the chih'i en ia greater in Salt Lako City than any other in America, except New orleans, and tho death rato of Utah IB ouly cx.-oodod by that of Louisiana. The Mormons have greatly exag? gerated tho population of this place, which really contains a littlo leas than 18,000 souls, ai d in this amah number tho sexton's report for October last, tho healthiest inonih in tho >car, gives tho interments at Btxly, of wliich forty-four were children, Laetycar was unusually healthy, anti yet the death rate exceeds i hat of any other Niatc or IVrntoiy west ot the Mississippi. 1 Le Mormons czplani this bx eating that their people aro generally poor and exposed to hardships, but much of that poverty is directly traceablo to their reli? gion. Another sad fact is Hie general neglect of medical care, or rather a general tendency tn run 10 wild and absurd schemes ofooetor ing. They claim that ".laying ou if hands and .ho prayer of faith" will heal the sicu, and yet no poopio within my knowledge are so given to "Tuomsoiiiauism," "aloa m doctoring, "yarb med.cine," ?ind every other irregular mode ot Heating ibo sick. But a lew da.\a ago threo .tomi-: children died in the Seventeenth Wnrd, of etadot fi ver. lu neither case was a physi? cian ca lcd ; tho bishop carno, and "laid on hands, with the holy anointing." and an old wm..au treated -.wo ol them with a mild pallia? tive *ucb as is used for a sore iliroat. if the pa tents Jive, after such treatment, it ts a miracle; aud if they die, it is the "wilt of thc " lord." Two-thirds ol the polygamists do nos and cannot attend properly lo their chi. drcu. Heber C. Kt nball bad aixiy-thrce t-ons, of whom oniy forty-eight are ?ow living. The bishop nf our ward, the Fourteenth, baa thir.y children Jiving, and nearly twenty dead. Joseph Smith had halt a dozen spiritual wives: but two sons survived him- both ot his legal wile. There are five men in this city who have, to? gether, seventy wives; thev have, all told, less than a hundred and fifty children. A Mormon graveyard is the most melancholy sight on earth. Ono bishop herc has seven? teen children buried in oie row, and tho long? est gi ave is not over four feet I If these men have bul tue common feelings of humanity, how fearfully are they punished for the crime of polygamy. Brigham's children are generally healthy, except that tho girls mostly have weak oyes, and two of them are noarly blind; hut they are woll fed, housed and clothed. But such is tho exception, and 1 could mantion a dozen men whoso houses aro full of women, but their children are m the grave. JEFFERSON HAFTS IN THE ENGLISH HOUSE OF C03I1?0NS-A RADICAL FICTURE. Tho correspondent or tho Cincinnati Ga? zette, in the course of a doacriptiou of a visit to the gallery of the Houso of Commons, gives this gi i m ps o of the Confederate ex President : While I am standing in thia group, eagerly watching the police sergeant., who will pres? ently call the names of tho privileged few, I hear : "Isn't this Mr. Davis?" I turn round, and right behind mo stands Jefferson Davis. But zounds I what a change in mortal mm I 1 would scarcely have known him if my attention had not been called to him. Andean it be possible, 1 mused, that this slinvclled-faced, thin-voiced, shrunken-limbed, slouch little old min is tho eloquent and com? manding senator from Mississippi, the prompt, resoluto and courtly Secretary of War that was really President when Franklin Pierce was os? tensibly ? I toll you the truth. A feoling of pity stoic all over mc. I was touched, and there is no knowing what ray impulse of tender magnanimity to oun^iilei. foe would have dnvm mo to do and snyif it had not met in the impulso of the man who put the question I have quoted that obsequious sycophancy to? wards the slaveholders' r?bellion which, tor these ten years past, bas been tho pre-emi? nent characteristic of anti-slavery England. Mr. Davis quietly replied, " that is my name, sir." " What, Jefferson Davis ?" " Yes, sir. Mtv I ask your name, sir ?" " Harris; but I tm nooody; I am simply an Englishman who doeply sympathizes with you; 1 havo often wanted to see you; I bave jour picture hanging up in my house, aud prize it very highly." This was said in an agitated, fervent way, while hands wero shaken, and then Mr. Harris, who was a cray-haired, well-to-do-looking gen? tleman, put his mouth closo to Mr. Davis' ear and whispered what I did not bear, but what I could not but imagine was, "Eigl.md was with you; and if you could have held ont another year we w.iuid have joined trance in recogniz? ing your govornm mt." Mr. Davis smiled iecb'y, aud, I thought, sadly. His name was called, and in ho went. I followed immediate? ly, and saw him met by ono of tho House at? taches, the gentleman in black short broecbos. and shad-bully coat, with a silk sunflower on its back, who absolutely bent double (I am not exaggerating) at tho approach of Mr. D., and wont dancing and flushed ind smiling before him, whispering to ovorybody, "This is Mr. Jefferson Davis," and gallanted him lo a sort of pew there for Bpeeially-favored strangers on tho floor of tho House, deep in a recess, and where Mr. Davis sat down with Archbishop Manning and Dean Stanley. tarrico.
