DEATH OF THE PROPHET.
JOE AND HIRAM SMITH ARE DEAD! !
The steamboat Horns just in from Warsaw
brings shocking intelligence from the scene of the
Mormon war. The following slip from the office
of the Warsaw Signal explains the dreadful tra
gedy:—
" Joe and Hiram Smith are dead—shot this af
ternoon. An attack from the Morosona is expected
every hour. Will not the surrounding counties
rush instantly to our rescue!
Warsaw, June 27th 1644.
It seems that the circumstances attending the
killing of the Mormon Prophet and his brother
Hiram, are as follows On yoeterday, Gov. Ford,
left Carthago with about 120 soldiers for the pur
pose of taking possession of the "Nauvoo Legion"
and their arms. They arrived at Nauvoo about
, noon, and called for the assembling of the Legion.
At:ut nOO men with arms immediately resron

ded to its call. These troops were put under corn
menu of Col. Singleton of Drown county who
accompanied Gov. Ford to Nuoyoo.
The Governor finding all quiet, left Nauvoo
about 5 o'clock P. M., with a company of 60 men
for the purpose of encamping about seven miles
from the city.
At about the same time that Governor Ford left
Nauvoo, the Propltet and his brother were killed at
Carthage, under the t following circumstances, as
near as we can ascertain Ahem:
Joe and Hiram were both confined in the debt
or's room of the Carthageluil, awaiting their trial
on a charge of treason. Thu jail was strongly
guarded by soldiers and anti-merino:lg, who bad
been placed there by the Governor.i a,
A mormon attempted to rush by ug ! 'd• guard for
the purpose of forcing his way into thi jail. He
woo opposed by the guard, and fired a pistol at uric
of the guard, giving him a slight wound.
A general confusion ensued in the crowd around
the jail. Joe and his' Mormon fellow prisoners it
seems had provided' themselves with pistols, and
commenced firing upon the guard within. Ho
then attempted to escape from a window, when a
hundred balls, entered his body, and he fell a life
less corpse.
His brother Hiram shared the same fate. Rich
ards. a leading Mormon, was badly wounded.
There our intelligence ends—what took place
after this, God only knows. Mormons imme
diately left for ISlauvoo to carry the news of the
death of the Prophet. It is feared that the Mor
mons at Nsuvoo will bo so exasperated, as to ex
terminate the Governor and his small knee.
The Boreas brought down most of the women
and chiitlron from Warsaw. It is feared their town
is in ashes before this.
Our citizens were aroused this morning by the
ringing of bells mid a call to arms. Our three in
dependent companies are already in marching or
der. Maj. Flood has ordered out the militia of this
regiment, and the steamer Dorcas is waiting to
convoy thorn to the scene of action.
There Aa no knowing where this dreadful affair
will end. Many have expressed fears that our city
is in danger, because most of the Warsaw families
have taken refuge here—het we believe there is no
tianger, we are too larfrom the scene of action.
Messengers have just left for Hannibal end the
towns below for the purpose of arousing the Mis
sourians. The excitement in our city ie intense
and the anxiety to hear the Tate of Gov. Ford and
his men is very great.

BRITANNIA,

The steamship Britannia, Captain Hewitt, was
telegraphed about a quarter before live o'clock,
Wednesday morning, July 3rd, and arrived at her
wharf at East Boston, at six o'clock precisely—
making her passage in thirteen days and a half.
In Mr. O'Connell's case, the writ of error is

IRELAND,
Slate Prosecutiops.--On the 3d inst., in the
Court of Queen's Bench, Mr. Whitcsides applied
for permission to inspect the record in the case of
the " Queen vs. O'Connell and others."
The Attorney General opposed the application,
but two of the judges being in favor of it, the mon
ster indictment was handed down, and, after, an in
spection of it by the solicitors for the prisoners, Mr.
Whitesides and Sir C. O'Loghlin, it vAis handed
back to the Clerk of the CroWn. •
On the 6th, Mr. Close applied on the part of the
gate prisoners, for a rule that the Attorney General
should join the issue on the error. The rule was
granted.
- O ' CONNELL AND RE...AL.—The imprisonment
of O'Connell is too novel in itself, and involves too
many great national considerations, not to be turned
to account. One of the reaulteof his incarcera
tion is perceptible in the immense increase of the
repeal rent, which has suddenly jumped from hun
dreds up to thousands per week. Last week the
amount received reach upwards of three thousand
guineas! And in all probability it will go on in
creasing.
This answers a double purpose; it shows that
the means employed to degrade and punish the
people's man, have raised him still higher in their
esteem, and thus it speaks 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 over
whelming cost of the defence. Mr. O'Connell has
comfortable quarters—airy apartments, and two
gardens to walk in, and he is permitted to son his
friends at Seasonable times and in considerable
numbers.
The Corporation of Dublin, on the Gth ult.,
adopted an address to the Queen on the subject of
Mr. O'Conuell'a imprisonment, and an address of
sympathy to Mr. O'Connell himself. A petitibn
to the House of Commons was also agreed to,
praying that Mr. O'Connell may be liberated.
_ . _
. . -
A number of deputations from various places to
mon; addresses to Mr. O'Connell and his fellow
prisoners, have been refused admission.
The usual meeting of the Association was held
on rho l 7 th J.. 1- The proceedings connnenred
at on: o'clock, and five hours were almost entirely
occupied in handing in money to swell the amount
of the repeal rent; many of the announcements
were received with loud cheers. The amount of
the week's rent was about £3OOO.
PUBLIC FEELING TOWADRS MR.
CONNELL
The demonstrations of sympathy with O'Con
nell have been strongly evinced throughout the
country. The repeal button has been universally
adopted, and public meetings have been culled and
held for the purpose of expressing opinions on the
State trials, and on the incarceration of the mar
tyre, in Glasgow, Birmingham, Dublin and Liver
pool. Addresses to Mr. O'Connell have been vo
ted by the corporation bodies in Dublin, and other
cities. These contributions have greatly increased
the repeal fund.
FRANCE
It is announced in the French Journals that the
Emperor of Morocco has proclaimed a holy war
against France, and, in conjunction with Abd-el-
Itader, is making active preparations for invading
the's territory claimed by the latter country. It ap
pearsorn despatches just received from Algiers,
that 'teal hostilities have already commenced on
the frontiers of Morocco.
The suspended departure of the Prince de Join
ville to take command of the squadron to act
against Morocco, had been the occasion of much
surprise,

The Lies of Locofocoism.
The Hartford Journal says, that last winter the
Editor of the Hartford Times basely garbled a
letter from a political friend in New Orleans, so as
to make it convey an impression entirely different
diont the one intended by the writer. The lie thus
started, to tho effect that Mr. Clay participated in
the parade of a reception, &c., with music and
shouts, on the Sabbath, in still current in the Loco
foco papers. And this s falsehood,though expressly
contradicted by letters front New Orleans, has ne•
ver been contradicted by the villians who started it!
Even the r,quest of the writer of the letter thus
garbled, who is now in the city of Hartford,
that a correction should be made, has been disre
garded!
The Foram •eayc—The following extract from
an English paper, received by the Britannia, is rath
er an amusing comment on the oft repeated slang
that the Whigs arc the British party. The para
graph is from the commercial article in the Euro
pean Times of Juno 19th. Mark how the paU•-
in; of VAN BUREN is regretted, and Mr. CLAe
objected to, because his opinions are American on
the subject of the Tariff and not what England
calls "enlarged and liberal on the subject of free
trade." The Times paragraph, reads thus:
"The nomination of Air. Polk, by the Balti
more Convention, as the democratic candidate fin .
the Presidency, ban created some surprise, and a
mongst those anxious to extend our connexions
with the United States, no little regret. It has been
generally believed in England, that had Mr. Van
Buren been nominated he would have succeeded at
the polls; and that gentleman having more enlar
ged and liberal notions on the subject of tree trade
than Mr. Clay, was regarded with a friendly eye by
portico hero, who care .nothing about the result of
the contest politically considered. It is believed in
England—how truly a few months will determine
—that the selection of a nauveaa homme like Mr.
Polk must, terminate in the election of Mr. Clay
by a large majority."

EXCITEMSNT IN SOUTHWARK' LAST RIOHT.-
There were rumors in Southwark early last eve
ning of a large quantity of arms having been ta
ken into the church of Saint Philip de Neri du
ring the afternoon; and rumour, of course; exagge
rating the fact, a number of persons seen collected,
and the gathering was, after dark, increased to
thousands.
It was with the utmost difficulty that Douglass,
Captain of the Southwark Watch, and Cassiday,
Police Officer of the district, could restrain the pop
ulace until the arrival of the Sheriff, who went into
the clinch. accompanied by Aldermen Hortz and
Saunders, and brought forth twelve muskets,
which were conveyed to the Southwark Hall,
a,nidst the uproarious cheers of the multitude.
The difficulty did not seem to subside, and the
Sheriff and Mr. Wright Ardis (one of the wound
ed in Kensington) addressed the populace, promi
sing to remain in the church and further examine
it until morning. Mr. Ardis then chose twenty
citizens, with whom and the Sheriff ho entered the
church.
The mob still reniaining to the number of
thousands, strict watch was kept upon the front of
the Church until a slight rain descending partially
dispersed the crowd.
About eleven o'clock, the " union renelbles,"
Captain Lee, came upon the ground. Their coin

persons left spun the spot.

were in an error as regards the corps—it was the
'City Guards,' Captain Hill, which acted an the
occasion.
At 2 o'clock on Saturday morning, the twenty
citizens who had been detatied by Mr. Wright
Ardis, and who were in the Church under his
command, were discharged, and the City Guards
took their place. I'he naturalized citizens who had
been found in the Church, with their leader, were
early in the rooming taken before the Police Magi

peace. Every thing remained quiet during Senn.

Early on Saturday evening, crowds began to
gather, but the multitude was soon brought to order
by the arrival of a corps of artillery and infantry,
under General Cadwalader, who soon cleared the
street adjacent to the Church, and threw out lines
of military across Bev( rat thoroughfares.
