Itappears, thatJee and Hiram Smith, and a number of ether Mormon leaders were in jail confined on cer tain cffences against the laws of the Suite. The Car thage Grays. a volunteer company, were placed as guard around the jail. About 6 o'clock on the eve ning of tl.e 27th, an attempt was made by the Mor mons on the out:4 le to rescue the 'Hi...niers fromthe custody of the Guard. A youth:Meet 19 vents of age (a Mormon) began the fray of shooting the sentinel nt the door, wounding him severely in the shoulder.— Simultaneously with this attempt, the Mormons in the inside of the jnil, including the Smiths, presented pis this through the windows and doot s of the jail and fired upon the guard without wounding, it is supposed, mortally, four of the old citizens of Hancock! It is enough to say this blood thirsty attempt on the part of '(he Mormons, was the signal for certain and sure ven geance The lives of Jo' Smith and his brother Hi ram, and Richards, Joe Smith's Secretary, were quick tiy taken, and we believe no others.

There our intelligence ends—wlint took place after this God only knows. Mormons immediately left for Nauvoo to carry rho news of the death of the Proph et.

THE PRoGRESS or Mon LAW.--TIM murder of Joe Smith and his brother Hiram, is another fearful evidence of the rapid progress that mob law is making in our country, and will create alarming forebodings fur thepermanency of the internal safety of the opuo 7 try, if the strong arm of the civil authorities ie riSt raised to protect citizens of every shade of opinion. That provision of the constit•uion which purports to grant permission to all to worship Gud according to the dictates of their own corscienccs is becoming a dead letter; the religious freedom of which we boast will soon be tram?led under the feet of the mob, whose brutal passions can only be appeased by the destruc tiun of property and the spilling of blood. Whatever may have been the limits of Smith,snone could have been of sufficient magnitude to justify the I punishment inflicted, and, with the inhumation we have received, we cannot regard his death in any o ther light than as a cowardly and brutal murder. Smith had been charged with serious crimes against the laws; a clamor was raised to ha - ve him prinhhed; R-rsonal violence was threatened; perhaps to avert the shedding of blood, he surrendered himself to the civil authotities, under a promise that he should be protect. ed and have a fair trial. A military guard was placed round his prison to protect him, but instead of guard ing him and letting the laws which it was alleged he had violated take their course, they sent a "hundred balls through his body" without even respecting the formalities that have heretofore been observed by those who believe in the efficacy of Lynch Laws. The ab surdity or fanatacism of the religious 'pillions of the 'prophet' will induce many to look upon this bloody act with a lenient eye, but the true friends of rational religion cannot but regard it with horror, and tremble for fearful outrages on other creeds, for which the murder of the Mormons mly form a precedent. Q:l' In 1339, Mr. Iloascs G REELT, of the New York Tribune, kept a note book to record opinions of the evailibility of the respective candidates for the whig nomination of that year. His investigations produced the following result: Whole number of votes, 294. Of these }Jettison would certainly get I . 2.3—Scott would get 101, and Clay could be certain of but 54 ! This was Mr. G's calm,deliberate calculation. Yet Aids some " scurvy politician" lies recently got him ';,giass.eyes:' and effects to see very clearly that Mr. CLAY Win be elected. What would be a ',toper de signation for such conduct? Did Mr. 0. tell the truth in '39? If he did, wh a t has since occurred that could change the results What has 11Es; at CLAY done since 1839, that should make him mom popular is Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Virgiiiin and Indiana, than he was in that year. Is HENRT CLAr more popular in Pennsylvania now, than he was in 1839, because he ran away from Congress without touching the Tariff question, and because his bosom friends voted against the Tariff when it did coma up 1 Is he more popular in Virginia because he has de clared himself over and over again in favor of a U. S. Bank, and against annexationl Is ho more popular in Indiana, because he insulted some of her most valued citizens, and ordered them with taunt and contumely from his presence ? Mr. G. will find it difficult to convince any sensible man that Clay is stronger any where than he was in 1839—in fact we don't think he believes it himself. Yet he holds out the idea that CLAY'S chances are better now than then. This looks very like holding out false lights, or counterfeiting opinions,—but Mr. G. no doubt can explain this marvelous change in his views. I'The whigs think it capital policy to depreciate and underrate democratic candidates, and to exalt, with discusting adulation, their Whig opponents.— They have indulged this disposition in their behavior towards Col POLK. He is one day denounced as a "third rate man;" then, we hear that very witty and sarcastic question, "who is James K Polk?" We find the following among many replies that might be made to that question. It is from the pen of HORACIf. GREELT, now editor of the New York Tri bone, a leading coon paper: "In 1839, JAMES K POLK, ONE OF THE A BLEST MEN AND MOST POWERFUL SPEAK ERS IN THE SOUTH WEST, took the field as the Administration (Van Buren) candidate fur Governotl and after a canvass of unprecedented vehemence, ir. which he proved himself an over match both in speaking talent and in per sonae address and pope ' laritg, for his opponent, Governor Cannon, he was elected by some twenty-five hundred majority." So then, if any benighted whig enquires "who is /oils K Pol.'?" we have whig authority for saying that "James K Polk is one of the ablest metiand 11408 i powerful speakers in the Soulk West.' Oa" The American ilisphry,a more philosophy than ingenuity in,its attemmainaku light of the defection of Muir's. Cktitia, Strria, ELDER, and the acres of Hartison Mon who have deserted th.whig standard. The ititeiutcsn seems to have shown to its own entire satisfaction that the chang eof CRAIG and SUTTON . will be a clear gain to the whigs. If that be true, at the whigs require to render a victory doubly sure, Is for the balance of the anti masons to abandon them. But one thing is certain—the whigs do not agree with the AMERICAS in the idea thnt the lots of Messrs CRAIG and Stares and their friends will add strength to their array. In making out his case the AMERICAN says that one of the abolition candidates polled 700 votes in the fall of '43, while at the special election in March, Mr. CRAIG got but 640 votes. Now, ho should have taken the vote on the Congressional candidate in 1843, as the test—the abolition candidate who receives] 700 votes was not running for a political place—their can didate for Congress gut but 379 voles—Mr. CRAIG got 634 votes for the same office—thus showing a gain of 257 votes fin• the same abolition Congress ticket in file months. It will be hard for the AMERICAN to make even the deluded whigs believe that the loss of men who can thus take hundreds from their array, can strengthen CLAY'S vote. FREF.DON or OP IN Ins.—A repeal meeting that was to have been held in !'hiladelphia last Monday was postponed by the civil authorities on account of a threat having been made that it would be assailed with a mob. Our "land of liberty" is becoming a great country. WHITE ♦ND COLORED CHILDREN.—The colored peopi.e of Boston have held a meeting to remonstrate against their children being placed in Patine Schools separate from those of the white children. They in. sist that there should be no distinction made between citizens on account of difference in color, and recom mend that "tbe colored parents of the city withdraw their childre . gfitzvm the exclusive school established in contravet!tion of that equality of privileges which is the vital principle of the school system of Massachu- setts." Tut CAMPAIGN.—Now is the time for opinions and calculations. Both parties are making their esti mates, and satisfying themselves that each shall tri umph. The fullowirg opinion of Mr CLAY'S chances of election, we take from the Pittsburgh Gazette of J lily 31,1843. "The editor of the Advocate makes a great parade about Indiana. and is astonished ut our presumption in pretending to set tip our judgment against all the Whig editors, and fifteen hundred delegates who are clamorous for CL AT. We du not pretend to any supe rior judgment or penetration. Like all men we are fallible. Yet we cannot give up our judgment, even though so great a host is arrayed against us. We judge of the matter in Indiana, as in other free states, not by whist conventions or a big editors, lint by what Ire know to be the influence of the silent workings of truth and morality upon the hearts of the people. T;me alone will discover whether we or the Advocate, and its host (Whackers, are correct, as to Indiana. "There is one truth that is lost sight of by the friends of Mr CLAY; which is, that the whig party proper, as it is at present constituted, never, in any stage of its existence, comprehended a majority of the people of the United States. The election of Gen A FIRE son was not a triumph of Whig principles Ahotte. There were matey other questions involved in the con troversy. Mr CLAY is the candidate of the whig party proper, and not of the great H A HRISON, or united Anti-loe.ofoco (teem In 1840, Mr CLAY could not have united upon himself the votes that triumphantly placed Gen Ils.attisost in the President iul chair, and the Chances ate MORE AGAINST HIM Now THAN AT THAT TIME." That sheet, now the accredited organ of the Whig party, tho't nt the date above given, that CLAY would not have been elected in 1840, and that chances were more ngainst him in the present campaign DREADFUL AFFAIR. A wife and Niece shot in the street by the Hus band of thr fortner.—Philadelphia has been again shocked and disgraced by a double murder, committed in open daylight in the public street, in the district of Kensington. Yesterdayafternoon, a man named Wes ley Flavel, living at the corner of Howard and Master street, deliberately shot his wife and the niece of the latter, a girl 14 years of age, named Elizabeth Mc- Murray. The particulars of the dreadful affair are as follows: Flavell, who was '4 clerk in the employ of Wright & Fisher, umbrella dealers in Market street, was intemperate, and had scarce', drawn a sober breath for the last month past. Yesterslay afternoon, about 1 o'clock, he came into a room which his wife was cleaning, and tbld her that he would shoot her. She being apprehensive that-be might do her berm, went to the house of a neighbor and stayed for some time. At last thinking that he had forgotten his threat, she started to go back home. On approaching the house she saw him standing in the door with a pistol it. his hand. Believing ttint he intended mischief she turned to avoid him and at the same time met in the street her niece who was coming towards the house. At this moment her husband fired the pistol at her. The weapon, ns is believed. was loaded with two slugs, one of which entered the bock of Mrs. Flavell, above the hip and lodged in the abdomen—the other enter ing and lodging in the abdomen of ihe git I. Both wife and girl were lingering in great agony without,, any hope of recovery. Drs. Bethell and Kline, who at tended the unfortunate females pronounce the wounds mortal. Eleven was taken into custody and committed by Alderman Cloud. The prisoner is the person who was tried for ri,.t at the time of the Railroad disturb ances in Kensington in 1840.

The President and his Bride.—We copy the fol lowing from the Madisonian of Monday: President Tyler returned with his fair bride to the capital on the evening of last Thursday. On Saturday the bride received company. Though there was no announcement in the papers, it was generally known that on that day the White House would be open to those who wished to pay their com pliments to the Chief Magistrate and his bride, and during the hours of reception the rooms were thronged. The Heads of Department., the Foreign Minihters in theitcourt dresses, and the officers of the Army and Navy in uniform, in company with the, ladies of their a , quaintance, made a brilliant shot*, and his Honor the Mayor, and Ids lady, and most of the elite of the capital, whether is public or private stations, offered their conglatulatfons, and bade the lady of the Mansion welcome. The bride, when Miss Gardner, bad, with her fair sister, who is now her guest, spent parts of two win ters with us, and delighted all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance, by the attractions of her person and mind—gifted as she has been with every advan tage of education and foreign travel—and by the charms of her graceful manners, which shone, as ever• one felt. in their appropriate sphere on Saturday. A most magnificentbride's cake and sparkling chem. paigne swatted the welcoming guests, and the distinc tions of party and of opinion were all forgotten, and kind feelings and generous impulses seemed to glad den the hearts of all. In the afternoon the President's garden, in which the band from the Navy Yard play every Saturday af ternoon, was more thronged than we ever remember to have seen it. On the Pot tico of the White House the President again received the welcome of his friends, and not until the shades of evening were gat& ering around, and the music had ceased, did the throng disperse, so great was the desire to see and wekoma the beautiful and accomplished lady who is hereafter to preside in the Executive Mansion. _.~~.. <~:~4w From the Bottom Times ARRIVAL OF THE STEAM .K i er ! e SHIP ;BRITANNIA. - :4' ) 8 LATER PROR EUROPE The steamship Britannia.

It is stated that LeuisPhillippe,King of the French, i ttends to take his departure from Pans to London in September next. It is stated that Crockford, of gambling not.riety, has left £350,000 to his widow. He once kept a fish monger's shop near Temple-bar, London. WEST INDIA SUGAR DUTIES.—In Parliament on Friday night, the Government plan was defitegesl by a majority of 20 against Ministers.

O ' CONNELL AND REPK•L —The imprisonment of O'Connell is too novel in itself, and involves too many great national considerations, not to be turned to ac count. Oneof the resalts of his incarceration is per ceptible in the immense increase of the repeal rent, which has suddenly jumped from hundreds up to thou sands per week. Last week the amount received I reached upwards of three thousand princes! and in all probability it will go on increasing. This answers a double purpose; it shows that the means employed to degrade and punish the people's man hove raised him still higher in their esteem, and thus it spenks to the Government in the language of defiance; while the receipt of such timely aid is most acceptable to the repeal coffers, exhausted as they have been by the overwhelming cost of the defence. Mr O'Connell has comfortable quarters—airy apartments, and two gardens to walk in, and he is permitted to see his friends at seasonable times and in considerable numbers. The Corporation of Dublin, on the 6th ult.. adopted an address to the Queen on the subies-t of Mr O'Con nell's imprisonment, and an address of sympathy to Mr O'Connell himself. A petitien to the House of Commons was also agreed to, praying that Mr O'Con nell may be liberated. A number of deputations from various places to present addresses to Mr O'Connell and his fellow pri soners, have been refused admission. The usual mooting of the AAAociaiinn was held on the 17th dime. The proceedings commenced at one o'clock, and five hours were almost entirely occupied in handing in money te swell the amount of the repeal rent; mail , of the ant ))))) ncemer.ts were received with loud cheers. The amount of the week's rent was about .£3OOO. FRANCE.

A ship was seized with opium nn board, in the port of Shanghan, and sent down to Victoria, where she was subsequently liberated on the payment of a fine of 500 dollars. This seizure appears to have been bro't about by a British merchant, who comp. lied both the Chinese authorities and the British Consul to take of ficial notice of the opium being on boned. Several chests were thrown into the sea, and others injured. This step has brought the question of the treaty and of the opium smuggling into discussion. TO CONTRACTORS.
