The following is the Jatest news from tb quarter. It must, however, be received wit rnuch allowance. We Jrorn frona Nauvoo, that last Frida Lymar. Wrjght, starled for the pine región o boord the Maid of lovvn, witb about two hun dred followers, ccmprising the most reckles portion of the Mormon communiiy . Ve pre sume he has given up the idea of working : miracle in thie country. Sidnry Rigdom,wo learn has left Pittsburgh lt is said that a large number of Enghsh wil] soon follow him. There is a great dissentjon amongst the Mormon leaders, which, notwiihstanding the attempta to concea it, is evidently underminng the whole fabric of Mormonism. Thereis considerable disaffêction on account of the conduct of Emma, in relation to the property belonging to the Chnrch, but held in the Prophec's nnme. Sotne of this property it is said ebe will not transfer. She is occueed of being wealc in the faith, nnd it is tiiought will eoon leave the city. It is Amber mmored that ehe has purchased property at Hampton, tvhere Law and most of the Seceders reside. We know not whether this Jatter rumor has any foundation. Brigham Young preached in Nauvoo last Sunday, nnd in the course of his sermón avowed his belief in the spiritual wife doctrine, and said that he wished that he had one hundred spiritual wives. Thus it appears, that what the Seceders said in relation lo this matter is now openly admitted.The Temple is going ahead with astonisbing rapidity , the greater part of the population being engaged on the work, all other improvement nearly suspended. The leaders have told the people, thot when íhe Temple is finished, Joe will appear and in proprra persona consecrate and dedícate it to tbe Lord. Of course the poor fanática are exerting themselvea to the utmost, that they may thus hasten the timo for the re-appearance of the Prophet. Gen. John C.

Yet it is a remarkable fact that the only State in the Union, where Catholica are proscribed ís New Ilampshire - where Locofocos have had the power from time immemorial. In that State,No Catholic can be a Representative! No Calholic can be a Seimtor! No Catholic can be a Counsellor! No Calholic can be a Governor!

The D'fference.-Apieacher atNashville, the other day, made the following distinction between a 'coquette' and a 'flirt' - 'A flirt is a creature with a heart, bdt without brains; a coquette ir a creature with brains, but without a heart.' Three Seítled Foivts.-l. That the election of James K.

Tbel jiverpool Mercury remarks- 'Thiö is oiir daik bread adulteratedl thus s the craft of the manon carried on m our ' ery stomacbs; and morter there produ eed ( which is of mortal effect; and thus a family wislung to parchase a stone of flour is 1 srally furnished with a flour of etone.'
