In February, 1854, initiated into, the mys teries of the . “Mormon endowment,” and would have, gone .to. California,, but want of means prevented him. In April, 1866, he was sent as a Missionary to the Sandwioh Islands, and had" to leave his wife with her relatives iu Salt%ake.OUy, and on his voyage determined not only to renounce Mormonism, but lay his experience of it before the world. He was solemnly cut off from “ The Church” in Janu ary, 1857, it being unanimously voted “ that he be delivered-over to Satan to be buffeted in tne flesh.” At the same time'his family was ijot ’cut’ off, (Mrs. H. was probably well-look ■ ihg;) but it was declared that she-was set free from him. : There seems'no reason to doubt the truth, pf Mr, John Hyde’S account pf him-' sblf* ’ .It'would appear, also, that he left Salt Lake City with a testimonial of good charac tbr.'

The following ire extracts: < [ It may he interesting to ask what is his appear ance and Style. In person he Is rather, large and portly, has an imposing carriage and very impres sive manner. To pass him in the street, he is one hf those men wo .should naturally turn round to look after. In private Conversation, ho is pointed, but affable, very.conrteous to strangers, knows he fs the objoet of muoh curiosity, takes it as a matter bf course.^and, ,80 long as.the curiosity is not im pertinent,. Is very friendly. He talks freely, in an pff-band style, on any subject, does not get much time to, read, and, therefore, often blunders grossly; ho ia much mote an Observer than reader; thoroughly knows men, a point in whiohSmith'wosvery weak, [although he boasted “ tho Lord tells me 1 who to -trust. Men not books, deeds not words, . houses jnot theories,’ the tarik and hot, the heaven, now and not hereafter, Is, Brigham’s view of matters. [Hence bis religion is all practical ; and, conse jquontly, hence his praotical success. : Brigham inacourioil and Brigham in the pulpit (are not the same. Under the forceof-his prophetic (afflatus,, he talks, till/on reviewing hia remarks, he has to say, “17611, Well, wor<|s‘Are only wind.” ‘This is onoo made. In couiicil ho ia (calm,, deliberate, and very*politic; neither hastily ,decided, nor easily moved when'decided.- His shrewdness is often/however, baffled by n. set of [sycophants that he has around him. He has un justly brow-beaten and crushed sevoral of his warm believers through the instigations of men “whom I thought I could believe.” So complete inbisas cehdunoy that they; however, have only bowed their [headland tried .to do, bettor. The same potty jealousies, secret mdnouyorihgs, pandering flattery, and entire self-abnegation, characterize his, ns any other great matva satelites. One difference exists, and that is this, however- bickering among themselves, they would all dio for Brigham Young. One of the severest tests pf grontnesals the power to oomplctely center In orioßelf a thousand interests aqd thed§ep affections pf a thousand hearts. All really great men have done this. Philosophy jins had its disciples, adventurers their followers, gen erals their soldiers, kings their subjects, impostors their Mohammed,Smith, Brigham have all, been thus. No man ever lived who had m6re deeply dovOted friends,fhoh Brigham Young. 1 The magnetism tbatattractsand infatuates, that makes men feel its weight and yet love its presence, abounds iu him. Evenhis enemies have to acknow ledge a great charm in the influence . he throws around'him. 1 -The clerks in his office and bis very wives feel the same veneration for the Prophet, as the most respectful new-comer. It is thus alto In public orations; he soon winds a thrall round his hearers. Bad, jokes, low .ribaldry, meaningless nonsonse, and pompous Bwagger that would disgust | when coming from any one etoe, nmqse and interest from him. lhaveseen him bring an audience to their feet and draw out thundering responses more than once. Sermons that appear a more farcical rhodomontode have,been powerful when they were spoken by him, , His manner is pleasing ana unaf fected, his matter perfectly impromptu and un studied. Ho does not tfreapA but inerely tails: ‘ His vp\ce i 8 *Q n orquf,bpd bo is an etcellept bass singer.' His gestures are easv and seldom vio lent,.. He feds Sis' sermons;, tho people gee ho feela them, and, therefore) they-make themselves felt. He makes constant and unmist&kablo allu sions to individuals;-imitating their personal ap pearance and peculiarities, and repeating their ex pressions. Brigham ia a good mimio, and very roadilypxcitoslaughtor. Much that tolls, there fore/very galltagly to Salt Lake audiences, wjip understand the allusions and recognize tho parties, seems ridiculous when read. Even on reading, after donuding his sermons of the ridiculous and obscure, there is tin evident Vein of strong, practi cal sense. They are, however, much garbled in printing, and are still more‘Coarse ana profane, when spoken. Brigham has no cduoation. no never writes bis letters, merely, dictates them. This was also theonstom of J. Smith. Smith’s let ters to A- Bennett, Olay, and Calhoun, and his ad-, dress as candidate for the Presido&oy, whioh was thought to so dearly evince the man, were written by Phelps, the Mormon devil, W\ Clayton, 1 and others.. Inlike rnannor, the’epistles, addresses and messages that simple Saints Have believed were tho divine effusions nf “Brigham’s grapbiopeu” (!) were written by General D./W. wells, Albert Car-, rington, and outers. Hisautograph, which 1b quite charaoteristie, dashed energetically up and down and curling off with a little flourish, is almost as far as Brigham’s ohirogrophy extends. : Brigham has' tome floventeeri’o’r eighteen of his Wives in his “Lion House.’’ !Each wife has a separate sleeping apartment, fcxoept in of dis chrdedones who sleep by..twos, The rooms aro scrupulously clean and neat; sufficiently, but not well furnished. They 6re the sitting-rooms during the daytime for their occupants. When well, all in that and the adjoining house are expected to eat at the general table. It is a oorious spectacle in Brigham’s' dining-hall. Wires, children, work men, visitor*, a .orpwd of hungry dinner-seekers. It needs no email amount of cooking, nor any slight quantity of edibles. Brigham keeps no servants; his wives, unless slok, wait on themselves. In that case, they must wait on each other. Cooking, cleaning, dairy-work, washing, mending, tending ohildren, has'to’be distributed among them ac cording to the taste and skill of each; .or else, by the absolute and final diotum of the prophet! Be* foratho general tfible system was adopted, each wife was supplied in rotation, and by weight and budal' barops;,Brigham is,,obliged to keep a stew ard and purveyor-lfor bis numerous dependants. ‘ It must not berimagined that there wives lead an idle life. Brigham is a working man. Sternly practical in his views of polioy, keening the whole of the people oonstoutty and diligently at work, he makes his household a pattern for tho Saints: “There must be no idlorem Zion, no dronoain the hive,’* is Brigham’s hobby-ory, and consequently the whole of his family work. His sons, among the stock, herding, branding, driving. His wives at household affairs, looms, spinning-wheels, knitting: teedles, and quiUing-frameß. They boastvery ex tensively of how many stockings, quilts, yards of flannel, linsey, and carpet they havo mode. “If a .woman can hot support horeelf, and partly pro vide for her family, she is only half a woman,” soy Mormon domestio economists. , > , Tho whole secret of BrigbainVinflucnco lies in his realsiilctrity. • Brigham may be a great man, greatly deceived, but he is not, q-bypoorfto* Smith was an Impostor; that can.be clearly established. Brigham Young embraced Mormohism in sincerity, ooQ6olontiouBly be)levcd, faithfully practiced, and enthusiastically taught it. As devoted to Smith as Kimball is now to himself, he reverenced him as a Prophet, and loved hint as a man. Por the sake of his religion, he has over and over again left his family, Confronted the world, endured hunger, oamo back poor, made wealth, and gavo it to the Church/ Ho holds himself prepared, to lead his people in sacrifice and want, os in plenty and ease. No holiday friend, nor summer Prophet, he has shared their trials, ns well os their prosperity. He never protends to more than <* thoi inward moni tions of the Spirit*/’ and, not ns Smith,to diroct re vilatiohs/and physical manifestations. No man prays more fervently, nor more frequently than Brigham Young. No mancan more win the hearts, or, Impress the minds of his hearers than Brigham, while |n prayer. Pew men can porslstlh boliev ing bim a hypocrite, after hoaring him thus pray, either in his family ? or in private meetings, or In public. lam convinced that if he ho ah impostor, he has commenced by imposing on himself.

MISS MADELEINE SMITH, In the English papers received by the late arrivals ftom Europo, we find narrated some after scenes in the caso of Mis 3 Madeleine Smith, tried at Edinburgh for poisoning her lover. Miss Smith’s conduct after her release Was in keeping with her deportment during the trial. She exhibited, it is said, the same non-, clialance, criticised freely the pleadings of counsel, nnd pronounced the presiding judge “a tediou(i old man,” in his smithing up. A ruse you , racticed by her legal agent to get her awa.- unobserved, after the close of tho trial. A girl about tho same stature ns Miss Smith was procured to personate her, and dressed in garments previously worn by Miss S., the girl was borne, amid the pressure of tho crowd, to a carriage, and drivon off at a rapid speed, followed by the whole crowd of curios ity-mongers. Miss Smith, accompanied by her brother and another young gentleman, then departed quietly for Glasgow, where her father resides. Her father, it is said, rolhsed to see her, and it is believed she has ere this, taken her departure for a foreign country, ncr mother is in a dying condition, caused, it is supposed, by the shame, and terrible grief felt for her daUghtci-’s position. An enterprising London exhibitor of wax-works has placed a full-length figure of Miss Smith in his collection at the Crystal Palace, and tho likeness is said to be perfect. Miss Smith’s father is a strict reli gionist, and brought up Ilia daughter to the ob servance of all the forms of hiu faith; but as she reached womanhood she cast aside, it is said, religious hooks, and corrupted her morals by reading with insatiable avidity the worst and most immoral class of novels. While her morals were thus undermined, the necessity of her position obliged her to keep up before her father and ftiendS an appearance of rigid morality. 1 Thus having an inner and an outer life, she became trained in hypocricy, and it is related of her that on the day before she ran away from her father’s house, after L’Angeller’a death, she was closeted with the pastor of the church in which she sat, convers ing with him with a view to obtain a “ token,” or certificate for the sacramental table. She is said to have been a great favorite with the old clergyman ever since she was a little girl, and used, since he became old and infirm, to call on him frequently, to read to him. In explanation of the cheering which fol lowed the announcement of tho verdict “Not proven,” it is stated that there was oxtensivo and heavy betting on tho result; nnd that the winners could not repress their joy at their own good luck I Among the most conspicuous in tho demonstrations of applause was a young medical student, who shouted and danced in an ecstacy of joy. It was subsequently ascer tained that ho had won about thirty sovereigns by the verdict. Miss Smith’s defence cost £4,000, or twenty thousand dollars. This Sum, and more, was subscribed by a few Glas gow merchants. One old bachelor put li!h name down for a thousand pounds. Tho firm ■to which Mr. Minnoch, hor second choice be longs,offered a like sum, and so did a rich uncle from whom she had expectations; but at tho time tho subscriptions were mado, the facts developed On the trial were not known. The Dean of the Faculty, whoso dofenco of the accused is landed extravagantly, and whoso addross to tho jury moved to admiration all who heard it, received $1,250 os a retainer, and a “refresher” of £7O, or $B5O, every morn ing of tho trial. The junior counsel associated with the Dean received in all, for his services, £4OO, or two thousand dollars. Regarding Miss Smith’s guilt, opinion is still dovided. Of course, she assorts her innocenco in the most earnest manner, but whether innocent or guilty, she is suffering the penalty of hor fall from the paths of virtue N. Y. Sun. We copy the following from the Boston Daily Courier, an old line Whig paper: “ It is not often that wo agreo with tho speoula tions of the editors of the Traveller , but thoir paper or yesterday eontains an articlo which we extract outire, and which, though in an unconollia tory tone, contains some important truths stronply stated. This article maintaina, what wo havo long felt to be true, that the interest of she sluvehold* ing States was steadily, and in some casoa rapidly, effecting the disappearance of slavery, certainly in a portion of them. This operation is most appn* rent at this time in Missouri., This great State contains an immense body of unimproved fertile land, inexhaustible miueral rosourcos, and advan tages for natural water communication, perhaps beyond any other State in tho Union; but hor citi zens are horning to perceive that., owing to tho existence ot slavery, tho great tides of immigra tion, from tho Eastern States and from Europe, seek another direction. Unimproved lands in lowa, possessing inferior advantages of soil and olmiato, are in greater request than improved lands in Missouri. This great fact within his per sonal knowledge and daily Inspection, speaks move poreunslvolv to the landholder in Missouri in favor 9* l abolition of slavery in six months, than, to use the forcible words of our neighbor, ‘all tho moral and religious lectures in tho whole North could do iu as many years, preaoh they ever so eloquently or loudly.’ ” Our neighbor might have included another olnss of writers and speakers, to whom the same remark applies still more forcibly, and that is political agitators. Not only arc their efforts, from the na ture of tho oase, as unavailing as those of “the moral and religious lecturers, ,? but they aro posi tively harmful, because thoy produco a political reaction in the alaveholding States. Tho wholo political movement in Kansas, as far as Missouri was concerned, was the work of political intriguers, striving to make themselves important ns the champions of a great (Southern interest; and the whole system of political agitation carried on at the North had the effect of putting arms in their hands. Tho ablest allios of Atchison and String follow wore their violent politicui denouncers. Our neighbor also, without intending it, fur nishes the most complote justification of tho course pursued by conservative men nt tho North, and the most decisive condemnation of its own course. Conservative men, feoling the extreme delicacy of the question, have confined' themselves to a temperate opposition to Southern views, when forced by,territorial acquisitions before Congress; and havo avoidod tho language of irritation, which, as the evil of slavery could bo removod only by the co-operation of the slaveholder, must, of necessity, be the source of mischief; not of good; and have especially denreoated the organization of a party on the basis of the anti-slavery feoling of the North, as a meosaro of absolutely fatal tenden cy. Tho Republican leaders aud presses have pursued the opposite courso. Professing not to ,iapprove tho measures (?) of tlio ultra abolitionists, thoy adopt all their language and share with them the work of inflaming tho country by a continual' agitation. Not content with this, they denounce as an enemy of freedom every man who differsfrom them as to theexpediencyof this course pf violent agitattqn, thus stifling, as far as possible, the ntte'raocq, pf modern counsels. Having, in this W,broken,up the old political parties, by in troducing ah exciting question of paramount in, torest* they have organised ft new party on a basis and for objects whioh make it impossible for any oil* an d character in the slave-, holding States to act with them. In taking tills step, they not only obstruct, as much os possible, toward emancipation 8^ States, but thoy con tribute o$ surely to a ,Btat« of things where tho continuance of the Union is impossible what union can. there be, when tho two eeotione of the oountty ref ns, to untie any longer in organlilng tho govern ment, end ‘the* issue at tho, elootlon is—Shall tho South govefuthe North, or tho North govern tho Southf f , Mi. f « t M o' '• I *' . THE THURSDAY, AUGUST 6, 1857. s . IRON AfHM&PPBRv Interestlna OUiclttl StaU»iic» r TUe Stale &e -parimerit Report!. . A parliamentary report recently published in Greai Britain exhibits some interesting sta-* tiatics relative to the production of iron and Copper in all countries,' Tbp total quantity of ■pig iron produced, it appears, is 6,000,000 tons, viz: Great Britain. 8,000,000 tons; France, 750,000 tons; United States, 760,000 tons; Prussia, 800,000 tons) Austria, 250,000 tons; Belgium, 200,000 tons) Russia, 200,000 tons; Sweden, 160,000 tons j various Mates bf Germa ny, 100,000 ibus) other countries; 200,000 tons. A comparison of the countries which chiefly produce iron for the last twenty years shows that Great Britain increased, in 1850,244 per cent.; the United States, in 1860,171 per cent;; France, in 1846,141 per cent.; Russia, in 1849 -’6O, 20 per cent.; German customs union, (Zollverein,) in 1860, 60 percent.; Austria, in 1850, 180 per cent.; Norway, in 1841-45, 62 per cent. Much valuable information is spread before tho British Parliament in reference to the causes which have retarded the development of this branch of industry throughout the world. The protective duties on iron in France are ably discussed, and tho causes of the ab sence of progress in the iron production in that country are thus classified: 1, the revolution of 1848; 2, want of railroads; 8, apathy among manufacturers; 4, unfavorable sites formerly chosen for works; 5, the tenure of property and the system of carrying on works by paid mana gers ; 6, the interference of government with the affairs of the miner; 7, the ancient custom of Using charcoal and wood; 8, tho absence of 1 banking accommodation. In respect to Prussia, it appears, from a criti cal review of the metal producing interests of that country, that the restraining influence of the government is injuriously felt. Little or no competition exists either for trade or for orders, for a close combipation of the whole trade, both in Rhenish Prussia and in Silesia, has been established. Tho Swedish government has always mani fested a great interest in the development of this important branch of its mental industry* It has lately abolished the feu4»l rights and privileges of the nobility, who bkd enjoyed previously certain preferences os Iron-mas ters, and the iron trade was opened to a free market. Until very lately the exportation of pig iron was prohibited, in order to encourage the manufiicture of bar iron; in .Sweden this law,is now repoaled, and pig iron can cither be exported or imported by payment'of a duty of $3 per ton. In Russia the manufac ture of iron bos made the greatestprogress. Notwithstanding extensive protection, as no iron can he imported by sea, and the duty by land on pig iron is 600 per cent., the produc tion of iron in Russia is only 8.7 pounds, and tho consumption 9.7 lbs. Riiss. per inhabitant; whereas, in England the production is 281, and the consumption 238.4 pounds Russ, per inhabitant. In Belgium the production of iron has increased very considerably. In the United States it is also on tho increase, but with us tho consumption of iron per capita of our population is greater even than in England. In 1854 tho consumption was estimated at 1,824,774 tons, of which 805,000 tons was of domestic production, and 600,000 tons ira ported from Great Britain. With regard to steel, tho manufacture of cast and shear steel in Great Britain in 1856 was estimated at 080,000 tons. In Franco the consumption, during eighteen years has been four-ftflhs of that consumed in Groat Britain. Tho iron used in Franco in 1835 was n little over a third of that used in England; ,in 18 years it in creased to nearly half tho quautity worked up in Great Britain. Tho total value of copper raised in 1854 was $11,659,020. Tho production, consumption and reduction, of copper from the ore in dif ferent countries for 1846 are given as follows: In Groat Britain copper annually raised amounts to 15,800 tons; consumption; 10,600 tons; copper annually smolted, 28,600 tons. France raised (in 1846) 80 tons; consumed 9.200 tons; smelted’7oo tons. Russia raised 3,900, consumed 2,000, smolted 3,900 tons. Austria raised 4,500 tons, consumed 2,600 tons, smelted 4,600 tons.

Report of the Committee appointed to Superintend the burning of the Iron Safes at Reading , February 271A,1857: Reading, March 4th. The undersigned, members of the committee, do re spectfully report, that we saw the two Safes originally agreed upon hy Farrels Herring and Evans A Watson, {■laced side by side in a furnace, viz: the Safe in use by he Paymaster of the Philadelphia and Reading Rail road Company, in hi# office at Reading, manufactured by Farrels A Herring, and the Safe in use byH. A. Lahtz, luhls store, manufactured by Evans A Watson, and put in books and papers precisely alike. The fire was started at 8)( o’clock, A. M., and kept up until four cords of green hickory wood, two cordß of dry oak and half che#faut-top wood were entirely con sumed. the whole under the superintendence of the subscribers, members of the committee. The Safes were then cooled off with water, after which they were opened, and the books and papers taken out by the committee and sent to H. A. Lantz’s store, for public examination, after they wore first examined and marked by the committee. The books and papers taken from the Safa manufactured by Evans A Watson were but slightly affected by the intense hebt, while those taken from the Safe manufactured by Farrels A Herring were, in our judgment, damaged fully fifteen per cent, more than those taken from Evans A'Watson’s Safe. We believe the above to have been a fair and impar tial trial of the respective qualities of both Safes. JAOOB H. DYSIIER, DANIEL 8.
