LIVERPOOL. April 10-Midnight.-A banquet to Charles Dickens was given this evening at St. George's Hall, in this city. About Bevon hundred gantlemcn Bat down to the table, and there were also many spectators. The hall was gracefully decorated with flags an.l ban? ners. The proceedings were characterized throughout with good fooling and enthusiasm. Sir Henry Houghton aud Hepworth Dixon presided. After tho usual toasts had boen drunk, Lord Duff arin made a pleasant speech. He regretted that Mr. Dickens had n it entered the field of politics. He would have been a power in the House of Commons, and a fellow peer of Macaulay. Lord Lytton, at length, in glowing terms, proposed the health of Charles Diokens, when Mr. Dickens arose, aud, with much emotion, responded. Ho saul he felt he was unable to do Justice to bis feelings. Liverpool, after London, was always foremost in his estimation. She was always ready to respond, open-hand? ed and munificently, to all appeals for aid to ort and literature. Referring to tho remarks of Lord Deffenn, Mr. Dickens said that, after mature deliberation, ho bad docided 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 eulogized Washington Irving, Mr. Motley, and the American people. The latter were always willing to recognize publicly tho honor due to hteiary men. He closed hy hinting that the appointment of Charles Diek? ens as Minister to Washington might be bene? ficial to both oountries. FBANCE.

From tho Philadelphia papers wo gatbor tho following interesting particulars in relation to Twitcholl, who committed suicide in prison, end linton, who was han trod in that city on Thurs? day last. The coroner's jury in the case of 'Twitcholl rendered a verdict of " death by poi? son supplied to the deceased by some person unknown." Twitcboll's father tostified to hav? ing no knowledge of the contemplated suicide, though his son had declared in advance of the trial that "he would rathor tear bia veins out with his teeth than be hanged." A druggist testi? fied that Twitohell asked him on Wednesday to furnish him with prussic acid, which the drug? gist declined to do. We make the following extracts : FUNERAL Or TWITCH ELL. Thc body ot tho suicide was buried on Satur? day from tho bouse of Mr*. Moore, a family connection, No. 1030 South Four th-street, hav? ing been removed from the prison cell on Thursday, bub. hy ati unaccountable mistake, they were convoyed to tho late residence of Gerald Eaton, near tho prison. When the case in which they wore enclosed was there opened, ?m exe i tin tr scene transpired on ascertaining that the blunder had been committed. The body ot the euiotdo was very elaborately pre? pared for the final rites. It was clothed in a puro white shroud, and encased in an elegant coffin covered with black cl nh und ornamented with Kilver mountings. Bich offjri j gs of flow? ers had been made by his trionds, and those Were profusely strewed around and over the remains. Kev. Mr. Bring hui st officiated at the funeral, aud tho romains were interred according to tho ri tod of tho Protea ant Episcopal Church. Hie only persons pres? ent were the lather and brother of Twitchell, and a few ot bis near relatives. Mrs. Twitohell was not among the number. Tho most studied arrangements had boen made to have tbe affair conducted with the strictest secrecy and privacy. But, in spite of this; the people in thc neighborhood had learned ol the contem? plated funeral aud an immense crowd ga bored about tee house. Mrs. Moore states that the last visit paid to Twitcholl by his wife was on the evening ot Friday, two weeks ago. On this occasion tho husband said to the wife: "Ca? milla, some light must be thrown upon this murder." Mrs. Moore said that Twitcholl told ber, "that his tir?t impulse on the night of the murder was to alarm the neighbors when she told him of the deed, but his second trapujeo was to screen his wife." HISTORY OF THE TWITCH ELLS ^STATEMENT OF UBS. TWITOHELL. The Philadelphia Transcript publishes the following interesting details of tho history of the Twitohell family, not heretofore printed : Mrs. Twitohell was born in Washington, her mother being then known as Mis. Wornt z. Her father was Revolver Spencer, a Methodist olergyman of some reputation. lu 1814, the mother and daughter removed to Ciuoinnati, remained there four years, during whioh time Camilla was known as Miss Sawyer, ber moth? er having a married sister ot that name. This is probably the origin ot the story that Mrs. Twitchell was thc illegitimate daughter of a member ot Congress from Ohio. lu 1848, Mrs. Worn ts and daughter came to Philadelphia, and the former married Mr. Hill. * Shortly afteiword, Camilla married Riobard. Martin, a desk in ft dry goods st ire. After living to? ge.her five years, Mai tin left, his wife, alleging acts of impropriety on her part, but shu took the initiative in subsequent proceedings for divorce, which culminated in a legal separa? tion iii 1833. Camilla then resumed the name of Sawyer, returned to her mother's house, and lived t leie with ber and Mr. Hill. She then .became acquainted with Twitchell, Sr., then a widower with several children, includ? ing Gooree S. Twitohell, jin illegitimate son, who had been born in Brooklyn, his mother dying Boon after bis birth. Camilla was en? gaged as housekeeper, and removed with Twitchell. Sr., to Mew Jersey, lt is denied most positively by all parties that there was1 any improper intimacy between Mr. Twitchell and his housekeeper. On the contrary, Camil? la's conduct is represented to have been blameless. She was a member of Dr. Lord's church, iq Broad-street, near Chestnut, and in her character aa housekeeper was paid regular wag aa, and for extra a rvioea received extra Eay. When George S. Twitchell roached man ood he was accepted as the suitor of his fa? ther's housekeeper, and in 1864 was married. We have already said that Mrs. Twitchell was not yet ready to give to the public a for? mal statement ; hut while m prison awaiting trial, rn conversation with prison officials, she made a partial explanation, which has never been published. When informed of her hus? band's conviction and the probabilities of her own fate, she remarked, .? I know nothing of this murder. That afternoon George andi were out riding, and when we-got back to (he house ino th or was getting tea. As Sarah Campbell had gone out, I noticed that George was very much do Dressed in spirits. He never was much ot a talker, bu*, this night he was quieter than usual. He scarcely spoke at al). At the table and after supper I said to mother there is something the matter with George. Suppose you go and talk with him while I olear away the things ;, and when I got through I wont to my room, and George was then in the sitting room reading the paper and smoking a cigar. I went to bed, and I don't know how long I slept, when I was aroused by the cry of Sarah Campbell in the kitchen. This ia the only statement she has ever made, whatever she may have communicated to her counsel. The Transcript continuos as follows: . Why Mrs. Twi choll oeased her visits to the prison, at the outset, it may ba well to inform our readers thai on the day ot the inquest she appealed to her husband to tell what ne knew of the murder, and that, if he was guilty, to act like aman and relieve her. This ne refus? ed to do. Alter her .acquittal she did cali at the prison, but instead ol the greeting on her part being war n and affectionate, it waa as cool as would naturally be the case of one wno looked upon ber husband as the murderer of ber mother. Immediately after her ncquittal, Twitohell and bis friends commenced paving the way to a statement from Mrs. Twitohell, which would take from him the charge and transfer it to bis wife. So shrewd were the Iiarties engaged, that one of them visited Dan el Dougherty, Esq., to ascertain- from bim whether a person once acquitted on the charge of murder could be tried a second time, al? though there be a confession of guilt. The re? sponse being that there could not be a second trial, the efforts were renewed with ie doubled vigor, until Mrs. Twitchell'a friends heard of them and advised her to absent her? self from prison. She always denied any com? plicity in the murder,, and her ioara of confes? sion by him were based on the fact that she knew that he did not believe in tbe immortali? ty ot the soul, and that his professions of {>ioty were designed merely to further his ef orts in the game ot lifo winch he vfns playing. Others beside herself had every reason to tool assured that be would not hesitate to save his lite, for thom is every reason to believe that at least one human being, George S. Twitchell, Jr., confessed his crime and made himself sole actor in the tragedy. Throughout thia effort to indu e his wifo tc take upon herself an unjust rtecuB.itiou in order to save his life, Twitohell had frequent conversations with her friends, who, anxious as they were to assist him, could not overlook the damning proofs of his own gtidt. They saw tbe in lieront improb? abilities of his confession, and they ware anx? ious to have some parts of it explained to tbe satisfaction of the public A day or two before his doa th His strong love of life led him again to refer to it, and he rom irked to bis aunt, Mrs. Moore, "It is bard that I have to die tor this thing." Mrs. Moore then inquired of the prisoner, "How can YOU account tor the blood that was found on your shirt?" Twitched m lated to her the circumstances of tho murder in keeping with bis so-called confession. Be told her how "hs was amused bv bis wife call? ing him; that he went down into the diring room and was there told that she had quarrel? led with ber mother and had mi*erler?:d her. My first impulse was to alarm tho neighbors, but my second impulse waa to save my wife." iwitchell then stated to Mrs. Mooro the circumstance* attending the throwing of the body (rom the window. He asserted that be grasped tho bodv of the mur dered woman Joy the head aud shoulders, whde his wife took hold of the feet. They then boro * the body ot the window and rested it on the sill, in whioh position it was held by Twitchell while bis wifo ran down stairs and out into tho yard, immediately under tho window. When she roached this position Twitchell quietly lowered the body into tho arms o', his wife, by whom it was laid at length upon the pavement. In this way he oooounted for the oiroumstauoo that tho body was not found thrown together as it might have been if hurled violently from the window, but laid out in a straightened posi? tion. Twitchell concluded by saying that be supposed the blood came upon bis clothing by his having bold of the murdered woman in tho manner described Mrs. Moore inquired what became of Camilla's clothing? How was it that it was not as bloody as yours? To this he responded that ber clothing was carried off. In the face of all those confessions, Mrs. Twitchell has remained quiet. She realized that if sho denied the story whilo her husband wes alive, she would be accused of an attempt to insure his death. She was willing not to tell what she knew if that would be of any sor vioo to him. She was also willing to assist him to the extent of her means, but '.vbon he wish? ed her to go a step further and assert herself guilty of a crime she did not commit, she left him. It is antioipated that in a few days Mrs. Twitchell will make a full statement in her own behalf. FORBIGK SUMMARY. -The ladies of Hungary have asked Parlia? ment to authorize the Queen of Hungary (tbe ' Empress Elizabeth ot Austria) to appoint twenty female members of tho Hungarian House of Magnates. -The Queen ot Holland recently made an attempt at suicide. Domestic troubles are said to In ve driven her to the rash act. Her life was save J, however, and steps were taken to hush up tho whole matter. -The Pope is said to entertain the intention of conferring on the Prin se Imperial of Franco the title of Roman Patrice, which was once destined for the Emperor himself, and which was last borne by Charlbrnngne. -As a proof of the remarkable declino of Alexandre Dumas' popularity as a romancist, it is ment oned that the manuscript of bis last novel was offered to six publishers, none of whom would give bim more than a few thous? and florins for it. -For the last two years the English military system hos undergone a severe ordeal from the criticisms of the press, and tho public mind ie being prepared for the discontinuance of the sale of commissions. A more thorough knowl? edge of the elements of drill and discipline ie also perpetually being impressed. -Mr. Vernon Harcourt, "Historious," of the London Times, is said to be extremely unat? tractive in person and manners. One of the London papers tells the story as current among the dubs, that six gentlemen mutually agreed 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 bad selected Mr. Harcourt os his most unpopular acquaintance. -Some rather curious statistics have been collected in reference to the coto position of the British House of Commons. It is said to contain 338 university graduates, among whom ire 151 of Oxford and 122 of Cambridge. Th ero \ Eire 287 members who wero educated at public i schools. 131 at Ebon, 68 at Harrow. 29 at Rug? by, and the remainder in smaller number i at athens. Of the nobility -there ore 8 Irish peers and 106 sons of peers. The barristers number 120, the members of tho army 98, Lhose in the navy 19. Commerce is represent? ed by 15 bankers and 136 engaged in other kinds of business. There are 10 lathers who have sons sitting with them in the House, 21 pairs of brothers, and 3-broth irs of one family. -Four men and two women have just been tried b?fore the Tribunal of Correctional Police of Paris, on a charge of introducing the Lan? terne into France. Nearly seven hundred co? pies of that publication were found at the resi? dences of two of the accused; tbcre were also found a petticoat with eight large pockets, by the aid of whioh one of the females had re? cently brought from Brussels one hundred and thirty numbers of the prohibited work, and a waistcoat, flannel vest and belt; containing in all twenty-three receptacles, in which one of the men had imported one hundred and sev? enty copies. The accused were sentenced to terms of imprisonment varying from twj to six months, with the addition of flues. -Recent proceedings of the North German Confederation foroe upon lookers-on the con? viction, whioh is also universally prevalent in Germany, that the present state of things is merely provisional, and that it is designedly auch. At the present moment,, for all intents and purposes, the twenty-four millions who make up the mighty kingdom of Prussia are living a double political life, and ore ruled by a double government. On the one side there is the Prussian Parliiment, tho Prussian Min? istry and tho Prussian bureauoraoy; on the other side there is the National Parliament, the Federal Chancellor, and the Federal Chancellor's office. The individuals who com? pose those bodies ore very much tbe same. Four-fifths of the National Pirliament con? sist of Pi ussiarr representatives; and the Fed? eral Chancellor and the Prussian Premier are one and the same person. To judge by pres? ent appearances, it is to the National Parlia? ment that the centre of political gravity is rapidly shifting, and in the Federal Chancel? lor's offioe that the executive is beginning to centralize. Bapid strides are being made to? wards the creation of a federal government, and the federal government once in existence, must be looked upon ss the half-way house to the oreation of the federal sovereign, i. e., to the assumption by the Crown of Prussia of a title, be it that of emperor or of king of tho Germans, which, while investing it with sover? eign prerogatives over the confederation in its own right (?ni not. by mere procuration as at present,) will complote the national structure of the present edifioe.

EXCITING SCENES AMONO THE MODEL LEGIS m LATOR3. Fierce Tnlk Between Butler, Logan andi Seltene h. The Washington correspondent o? the New York Herald, describing the Ins, boars of tho Forty-first Congress on Saturday morning, pays : The closing scenes in the House vero both exciting and ludicrous. After midnight, when the galleries began to thin out, mombbrs throw aside the little restraint and reserve which the presence of persons in tho galleries ?cerna to imposo. Their conduct was, if possible, less dignified, and their general beariug and de? meanor seemed to say, "Well, wo are alone now, and wo will do just ai wo please." By one o'clock, everybody had left except a few negroes who wore asleep in tho gallery just bohind tho olock and a man soattered here and there, be? sides a tew reporters who seemed determine! to see tho thing oat. It was noticeable about this time, that many members wcte absent from their seats, nometimoB- it was difficult when the House was dividing to get a quorum. The explanation was to be found in the face that up in tbe law library of thc Honso Sam Ward, Butler's "Bismarck. Jr.," of impeach? ment notoriety, had set out an elegant lunch, with plonty of champagne to wash il down, to which be invited all the members, without dis? tinction of par' y. Just back oi tho lobby is the room of the beigeaut-at-arms, ColonerOrdway. Here, too. was a lunch, s ino i ly temperance, though; only coiTiie to bo bad m the/way of beverages, lt ?as of a more puWic nature than Sam gard's, for Ordway's invitation ex? tended to all the membeis and employees of the House, evon down to the littlo pages. With Ordway's attraction at ono side o-' the hall, and that of Sam Ward at tho other. Mr. Speaker Blaine was forced to order "tollers" on every demand for a divi? sion of tho Hon so. about two o'clock the ball of tho House resembled a hugo smok? ing room; nearly everybody had a c^ar in his mouth aud was puffing away vigorously, as if legislative inspiration and wisdom was to be gathered lrom the weed. Some oiombers were sitting with their feet upon the desks; others walked nervously around the hall, casting sharp glances towards tho speaker's desk, no.v and again, as if watching when tho r "little bili" would be roached cn the speaker's table; still others stretched themselves upon the sofas and went to sleep. Ono bill after aftor auother was taken up and disposed of. iiut few measures got through without resistance. The Democrats, maddened by the success of the majority in ousting their poli tical colleagues and cu..grined at the passage of the Virginia, Mississippi and Texas Reconstruction bill with the hated Morton amendment to it, were in no humor to facilitate the passage of other meas? ures in vhich they had little or no interest. Motions for a recess, followed by demands for a division, tellers and the yeas and nays, were ol frequent occurrence. Ho often was tho roll called that both the regular reading clerks be? came hoarse and had to bo relieved by fresh recruits. When Sohenck arose to make his report from the Conference Committee en the Supplementary Whiskey and Tobacco Tax nilt the members were generally in their seats; the respective lunches of Sam. Ward and Colonel Ordway had given out; members who bad laid down early in the evening to take a nap woko no and resumed their cigars; everything as? sumed an ?ir of business, and there was a manifest intention to do some work, though it was then close on to throe o'olnck in the morn? ing. Sohenck prooeeded to explain and advo? cate the committee's report, and mani? festly anticipated but li-tie opposition. He was suddenly set upon, however, by Generale Logan and Butler, whcytiot omy denounced tho coinuiittee'a ropoflRjtmt in? sinuated rather broadly that tho *tBwXlou?mia Bioner of Internal Revenue, the Conteronco Commit leo and the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee himself, were not above sus? picion nor by any means as honest as they Bli on ld be. This ai o uso d Schenck's slug g sh Dutch blood, and rising, with bis fists olenched and his square jaws set like those of a bull? dog, he co m m ou ced in a sarcastic vein to por ttay the immaculate honesty of his assailants. Towards the close of his speech he lost, his tempera little and became gomen bat personal in his remarks, speaking of some men who ad? ded '. cowardice to falsehood." General Logan was sitting a few feet behind Schenok with his feet upon the desk, half asleep, fchonok's sharp tones awakeue.l him-and jumping hast? ily to bis fest, he exclaimed : " 1 want to know if the gentleman from Ohio alludes . to me, when he speaks of cowardice and talse bood?" Sohenck, at the beginning ot his speech, bad given notice that he did not want to be interrupted, but the defiant tone of Logan's interrogatory brought Scheuck to a sudden halt; and, after pausing a sufficient ti ne to allow Logan to get bia question in, he answered, "No, s r, I do not." General But? ler was smoking a cigar and hobnobbing with his former brethren on the Democratic side of the House, when Biugham, who was in jolly humor, cried oat, "Butler, he means you." Buller turm.d suddenly and walked at a rapid stride towards his own seat on the Republican side of the House. He reached it jost lu time to get in a question at Schenok, who was about to ?tart off again on the rampage. He was less direct than Logan, wbo went to the chair? man of the Ways and Means m true soldierlike style. Instead of saying "Does the gentle? man from Ohio refer to me when be sneaks of cowardice and falsehood?" he morely said, in agcod humored way, "Does the geutleman not know that the Pharisee once eaid: *I thank God that I am not as other men?' " Had Bailer been as blunt in hts inquiry as Logan, he would, it is said, have been told, "Thoa art the man." As it was, Sohenck retorted upon him more fiercely than ever, and added the word "hypocrisy '* to the words "eowardico and falsehood." jdutler made no response, but wen c away smoking his cigar aa complacently as if nothing had happened, ?aif no insult had been put upon him. This served to encourage Sohenck, and he went on talking, as everybody knew, at Butler in tho most cutting style. At twenty-five minutes past three, when the members were literally worn oat with the labors and excitement of tbe day, the House took a recess until ten o'dock this morning. At that hour there was nothing .ike a quorum in the hall, and those who were present gave marked tokens of having been out late the pre? vious night. Some, it was thought, showed signs ot having been. more than once at Sam. Ward's lunch room. The whole crowd looked rather "hard," and evidently not in the beat of humor. Many of them bad then? o trpet-bags on their desks, so as io he ready to leave on the nooa train for their homes, lt was sn un? fortunate time for office-seeking constituents to ask members to "sign" for them, and many a poor fellow- of this class going np to bis member, whom he hal lett in good temper - the day bef?te, was fearfully snubbed with the reply, "1 have been u > all night and um in no humor to look after your case now." The majority were in as little hu? mor for legislative business ss tbey were tor signing petioua lor office-seekers. Fortunately, all iho important busiuesshsd been transact? ed the night before, tho galleries wore as crowded aa if it waa the opening iustead of the closing day of the seeaiot.* General Biuks' Cnban admir?is malo and female, were iu the diplomatic box, just where they sat last night, nr .l it seemed SS if they had not stirred from fast spot tbiough the long night, lbs bril? liant black eyes of the ladies, ?Tho seemed more enthusiusLp.thau the naen in this hun,HO B, wore lix ' i upon Banks, and evry movement of his seemed of int .Sat o hem.

Carolina Railroad: I)r,.\u SIB-I am taking deep interest in tho proposed agricultural convontiou, to 00:1 vjne in Columbia on trio 28th instant, which fulls on Wednesday. Tho call tor this convention, as I compre? hend the movement, is to suggest measures for promoting the wei faro of all olaa-tca, by harmonious action, in trying to adopt the beac systems of agriculture, in conjunction with Southern manufacturing and mechanical pur? suits, and to dud out tho m ist reliable plans of libor and laborers, as woll as to point out to immigrants tho many inducements which invite them to our genial climate and fertile soil and cheap homes. My objcot in addressing you is to know what fare the railroad will authorize me to sxy will be charged to delegates who aro going (as a mattor of duty to their poor State) to*partioi pato in the deliberations of tho convention. I believe thc action of tho convention will bo to advance tho futuro prosperity of all our rail? roads. Very truly \ ours, WM. M. LAWTON, President South Carolina Institute.

A Salt Lake correspondent of tho Cincinnati Commercial writes as follows : Anotncr evil beginning to show itself is the mixing ot kindred blood. The marriage of cousins is too c.minion, and I am told that sev? eral cases have occurred were un ole and niece ' were married, but I know personally of no such catie. Thoro are several cases of a man marrying both mother and daughter, and the marriage of two or three sisters by one man is quite common. Robert Sharkey, a merchant of this city, married turee sisters, one of whom was divorced from ber first husband o marry lum. They all lived in one house, and quite happily. it IB said, for several years, wuen in some strange manner they ail became convinced that polygamy was wrong. Oue of tho sisters started Rast, but soon returned and endeavor? ed to make somo arrangement for him to put Sway the other two. There were difficulties in the way. and Sum-key's trouble was so great ou tho subject that his mind became disordered, and last August he committed suicide by shoo - mg himself through the head. The widowed sisters still live together, and are determined opponents of polygamy. Two of Brigham Young's favorite wives, Clara Decker and Luoy Decker Scely, are sisters, the second having been the widow of Dr. Isaac Scely* of N&uvoo, Illinois. The Mormon leaders advise a man to marry sisters whenever i, can be done, as they usually agree better i ban otheis. One i ami ly within my knowledge consists of two men and tour women, the men's first wives being sisters, sud their second wives each a sister of the other man, all living in one house. Or to state it mathematically. A and B first marry sisters, then A marries B's sister and B A's sis? ter. Here is no marriage of blood relations, and yet it look* like a terrible mixture some? where. The question arises for lawyers : sup? pose eaoh of the women to have children, what akin are they respectively ? And winch of them could lawfully marry according to Leviticus and Chancellor Kent? If polygamy oontinues, these mixtures are nothing to what must take place in the next generation, for without a chemical analysis no " Heraldry Harvey" could ever succeed in finding the consanguineous circulation, to say nothing of the collateral. " As it now is, it seems like half the children in the city are related in some way or another to the Kim balls, the Pratts, or the Youngs, and many of them to all three." Among my ac? quaintances is a middle-aged lady, living just over the Jordan River, who was the widow of an apostate who diod in California, but is now the third wife of a Morman. l'he brother of her first bu.-bond, now living here, is also an apostate, and a personal friend of mine. The lady bas a handsome daughter, now seventeeu years old, the offspring ot her first husband and the niece of my friend. The lady is kind-hearted and hospitable, and, m company with my friend, I enjoy a visit at. her house very much, aa long as we can avoid the subject of Mormonism. Lately this lady's husband bas proposed in form for her daughter to marry him, and I oan see that it'is the strongest trial the mother's faith has had, but such is her devotion to the doctrine that she has given her consent, "if Br ither Brig? ham 'says it is the will of the Lord." The daughter, however, assures her uncle that she ' will die before she will marry him or any other Mormon." For the sake of peace she says nothing at home, but declares hei inten? tion to ran away rather than submit**** Tho mother, like mauy others, says she ''would ra? ther see her daughter in the coffin than mar? ried to a Gontilo, for that would be her eternal ruin for both worlds." All, however, are not so zealous on this subject, and there is quite a number ot Mormon women who think that a mistake has been made somehow, that poly? gamy is not of the Lord, that lt is not true Mormonism, &o. Those who believe in it speak of it as "a great cross, laid upon them in this world tor their exaltation ia tbs next," Ac. This oity already shows its bsd effect 00 the offspring;. The site is MOO feet above the level of the sea. in s dry and bracing climate, equal ? ly free from extremes of heat and oold. and consequently it should be one of the healthiest cities ia the world. Exactly the xeverae is the fact, l'he death rate, af all ages, is s little more than twice that or Che State of Oregon, and greater than that of New York or New Or? leans. When we come to children, the dis? parity is still more frightful. By actual statis? tics it is shown that the mortality among the children is greater io Salt Lake City thoo any other un America, except New Orleans, and the death rate of Utah is only exceeded by that of Louisiana; Ibe Mormons have greatly exag? gerated the population of this place, wbioh really contains s little less than 18.000 souls, sid in this small number tbs sexton's report for October last, the healthiest month in the year, gives .tbe interments at sixty, of wbioh forty-tour were children. Last year was unusually healthy, sud yet the death rats exceeds that of any other S tato ?r Tern tot y west ot the Mississippi. The Mormons explain thia by saying that their people aro generally poor and exposed to hardships, bat mach of that poverty ls directly traceable to their reli? gion. Another sad fact is the general neglect of medical care, or rather s general tendency to ru? to wild and absurd schemes of doctor? ing. They claim that 'laying on %.t hands and the prayer of faith" will heal the sion, sud yet 110 people within my knowledge are so given to "Tuomsonianiam," "steam doctoring, "yarb medicine," and every other irregular mode ot treating the sick. Bat ?ft few days ago three yoong children died in the Seventeenth Ward, of HI a riot fever. In neither osse was ft physi? cian called ; th* bishop esme, sud' laid on hands, with the holy anointing." and sn old won.an treated* two of them with s mild pallia? tive such aa is used for a sore throat. If the pa: lents live, after such treatment, it IS s miracle; and if they die, it is tbe "will of the '"Aird." Two-thirds of the polygamists do not and cannot attend properly to their chil? dren. Heber G. Kimball bsd sixty-three sons, of whom only forty -eight are now living. The bishop of our ward, th? Fourteenth, hhs thirty children living, and noarly twenty dead. Joseph Smith had halt a doz 'ii upi ri m al wives: but two eons survived him-both ot' his legal wite. There aro ?vo men in this city who have, to? gether, seventy wives; thov have, all told, lesa than a hundred and futv children. A Morniou graveyard in tho most melancholy sight on earth. One bishop here lins seven? teen children buried in o ie row, and the long? est grave is not over four feet 1 If theso men havo but tho common feelings of humanity, how fearfully aro they punished for tho crime of Eolygamy. Brigham's children aro gonorallv ealthy, except that tho girls mostly have weak eyes, and two of thom nro noarly blind; tint thoy are well fed, housed and clothed. But such is tho exception, and 1 could mention a dozen men whoso houses aro full of women, but their children are in the grave. JEFFERSON DAVIS IN TUE JENO LI S ll no us ia OF COMMONS-A RADICAL PICTURE. The correspondons of tho Cincinnati Ga? zette, in the course of a description of a visit to tho gallery of tho House of Commons, tri vos this glimpse of the Confederate ex President : While 1 am standinr in this group, eagerly watching the police sergeant, who will pres? ently eall tho nan??s of tho privileged fow, I hoar : "Isn't this Mr. Davis ?" I turn round, and right behind nie stands Jefferson Davis. But zounds 1 whats change in mortal min 1 1 would scarcely have known bim if my attention had uot beon o tiled to him. Andean it tm possible, 1 mused, that this Bbrivelled-taced, tbin-voioed, shrunken-limbed, slouch little ol l man is tho eloquent and com? manding senator irom Mississippi, the prompt, resolute and courtly Seorotary of War that was really President when Franklin Pierco was os? tensibly ? I toll you the truth. A feeling of pity stole all over me. I was touched, and there is uo knowing what ray impulse of tender magnanimity to our faileD foe would have drivm me to do and say if it had not met in the impulse of the man who out the question I have quoted that obsequious sycophancy to? wards tho slaveholders' rebellion which, tor those ten years past, has beon the pre-emi? nent ch arne tor t s ti c of an ti-slavery England. Mr. Davis quietly replied, " that is my na.no, sir." " What, Jefferson Davis ?" " Yos, sir. May I ask your name, sir ?" " Harris; but I tm noDodv; I api simply an Euglishman who deeply sympathizes with you; I have often wanted to seo you; I have jour picture hanging up in my house, and prize it very highly." This was said in ?n agitated, fervent way, while hands wero shaken, and then Mr. Harris, who was a gray-haired, well-to-do-looking gen? tleman, put his mouth close to Mr. Davis* ear and whispered what I did not hear, but what I could not but imagine was, "E atria nd was with you; and if you could have held out another year we would have joined trance in recogniz? ing your government." Mr. Davis smiled leebly, and, I thought, sadly. Hts name was called, and in be went. I followed immediate? ly, and saw him met by one of tho House at? taches, the gentleman in biaok short brooches and shad-bully coat, with a silk sunflower on its back, who absolutely bent double (I am not exaggerating) at the approach of Mr. D., and went dancing and flush ad md smiling before him, whispering to everybody, "This is Ur. Jefferson Davis," and gallanted him to a sort of pew there for specially-favored strangers on tho floor of tho House, deop iu a recess, and where Mr, Davis sat down with Archbishop Manning and Dean stanley".

BER.-To Mr Farrans : It is with extreme regret that I announce to my friends and patrons that cir? cumstances beyond my control compelled me to dis? continue my business at the old stand of N. M. Pou? ria A Co., No. lia Kimr-street. Io making this announcement I beg to tender my sincere thanks for their liberal patronage and support, and trust that in my new position they will extend the same Uoerality. My limited capital, together with losses of the past three years, impaired my credit to euch an extent that it wa? difficult to keep up a su pply of goods without paying exoroitant prices, and I waa fast losing my hoa.th, business and friends. In this extremity I appealed to Messrs WM. S. CORWIN A CO., and the liberality whloh so characterizes that arm was at once extended to ma, and I am now en? abled to offer batter inducements. Their extensive capital and experience permits them to offer a finer class of goods at about the prices I bad to pay, par? ticularly in Teaa, Champagnes, Clarets, Brandies, Ac. The comoined t flor's of myself and former partner, Mr. JAMES S.
