J ; From the Boston Daily Advertiser of Tuesday. Late and Important from Russia. We learn by the brig Cronatadt, which arrived at quarantine in this port on Saturday, Uhat on the 25th of August, the day when that vessel, sailed from Cronstadt, informa tion was received from St. Petersburg that the Rus sian Government had notified the French Ambassa dor that his presence was no longer necessary, and that his passports were ready to be delivered to him. This information was derived from the deputy of the American Consul at Cronstadt, who considered it authentic, and was confirmed by the Captain of the Guard House at Cronstadt, who signed the passport of the above named brig. i . i New'Jersey Election.-- It is admitted on all sides that the recent elections in New Jersey, have resul ted in favor of the Jackson Party. Their majority on joint ballot is two, precisely that which theClay men vaunt sq much about in Kentucky on their side. Last year the opposition ran separate tickets in sev feral places, trie Anti-masons and the day men, not uniting generally. The consequence was, that the Jackson party succeeded by a majority in the Legis lature. At the subsequent election to Congress the opposition carried their whole delegation oy a con siderable majority, the Jackson party carrying four counties in the state. At the recent ejection all the divisions of the enemv united on the IP residential question, and have been beaten in seven, counties, completely, and partially in two others. New Jersey may therefore be fairly counted on for Jajckson. Bait. Republican. Prospects of Mr. (.'lay in Pennsylvania. In but few counties of the state have Clay tickets been formed and the voteupon them, as far as ascer tained is even ridiculous.- : k In York county, the Clay candidate for senator, James S. Mitchell, a former member of Congress and a perfect! v respectable man, received but 104 votes! out of about 2800 ! In-Chester County, out of about five thousand votes, the Clay ticket received less than one thousand. In Lancaster county, out of! between six arid seven thousand votes, the highest Clay candidate received six hundred votes! ! and his colleagues little more than two hundred, all told. - - " - ( In Montgomery county, out of about 3100 votes, the highest Clay candidate received 874 votes. As we receive the returns, we will complete this review. It must or ought to convince the partizans of Mr.! Clay, that the sentence pronounced on him by Pennsylvania, in 1828, will never be revoked.

In me pari' of it he ventured t I make a prediction, whirh has b-fi so remarkably fulfilled by the, late occurrences1 i.

The sermon to -which I have alluded w as published in the Literary andEyangercal Magazine, in Nov. 1828 I think trie publication of the following ex tract from it, would gratify some of your readers. ; Y'ours, &.c. in haste.

The profession of religion among them is becoming perceptibly less beneficial; so that iii some neighborhoods t'.is very thing generates suspicion of the protessor, rather than cooii )-nc in his integrity The preachers among them, although extremely ignoranl, ( fteu unable to read a verse in the Bible, or a line in the hymn-book,) are f'qu ntly shrevyd, cunning men- They se what tuiloence miMiirecteu j religious feeling givrs : them over their brethren, andithev tak' advance ofi it many of them feel tneir impoi tauce, ai:d assum - the part of men of great consequence;. This thing i growing in thesouthern country. And while efforts to afford these people salutary instruction have been repressed or aban doned, a spirit of fanaticism has! been spreading, which threatens the most alarming Consequences. Without pretending to be a prophet, I venture to predict, that if ever that horrid event should talte place, which is antici pated and greatly dreaded by tn-tny among us, some crisp-haired prophet, some pretender t inspiration, will th.e .(ring-leader a well ns the in ngaior of the plot.

The epicure in arsenic and phos phorous? the tippler m boiling Florence oil i The celebrated Monsieur Chaubert who uses melted lead to wash his hands? and warms himself in ah oven along-side a beef steak? Who has astonished all England, has arrived in this city, and is exhibiting his experiments in Clinton Hall. He is certainly the eighth wonder of the world the real salamander to whom fire, heat, poison, &c. are perfectly innoxious. On Thursday evening last he gave a private ex hibition of his wonderful powers to a select audience of scientific and literary gentlemen at the lecture room of Clinton, Hall. On entering the Hall the first thing that strikes the eyes of the spectator is a large oven built of brieksand resting on the floor of the iuil ding. In the front of the oven is a small platform, with actable, lights, &c. where Monsieur Chaubert performs his experiments. On the opening of the exhibition, Mons'r C. made a short address in English peculiarly marked however, by a foreign accent. He assured the audience that there was not the slightest trick or deception in any of his experiments, he court ed the minutest investigation of every scientific gen tleman in the room. The exhibition commenced with a red hot shovel, which he drew over his face and tongue with the greatest sans, froid imaginable. Not the slightest injury was inflicted on him. He also drew it over his hair with the same result. " Try gentlemen" said he "and satisly yourselves." Several gentlemen reached up their fingers and placed them on his hair and cheek. 1 hey drew them back with all imagina ble haste as if they had been touching tlWshovel it self. His face ! and hair were covered with his anti dote, and he Did them so. This excited much sur prise. ir His next experiment was with sealinci wax He held the wax to; the candle and dropt it on his tongue. " Does any gentleman want to take a seal and give it the impression?" No one seemed desi rous of that office, and Monsieur C. took up a portion of the wax between his finger and his thumb & drew it in a string from his tongue. He passed over to other experiments, and prepared to take the poison. He told the company, that he would take from 30 to 40 grains of phosphorous, ,4 grains of which is sufficient to kill any in iividual. "If any gentleman however wishes to use his own phosphorous I will do so," said he. Mr. Chilton the chymist, had brought some phos porous with him. He desired his young man to take it out and weigh off 40 grains. He did so in the presence of the medical gentlemen. "Let me try that?" said Mon'r C. He took a small portion and rdbbed it against a piece of paper. It produced igni tion immediately. " Dat is ver good very good," said Monsier. At his request Dr. Yates undertook to administer the dose. It was put; into a-spoonful of water. jMonsieur knelt down, put his hands behind his back, had his stock taken off "Now, said he, "I am ready." Doctor Yates proceeded and poured it into hisimouth. "Well," said the Doctor, with a sigh, "I never administered such a dose before in my life." When every particle was swallowed, he called on the company to examine his' mouth and see that no deception was practised to satisfy themselves that ft was not hid in his mouth. Several gentlemen did so. - They were perfectly satisfied. They put their ringers into his mouth, and came down from the platjfoi m in utter astonishment. The next experiment was with tnelted lead. He took a tin pan full ol melted lead, and plunged his fingers into it, took a portion in his hand and made anoat Z6 years ot ae somewhere in Ontario county, believe he was washing the tips of his fingers. "No'N- Y- wa3 visited by an angel! (here the preacher mistake, gentlemen," said he, "put your finoers i here," Several did so, and were glad to take them from the vessel again. They were perfectly satis fied. His next experiment was swallowing a spoonful of boiling Florence oil. A tin pnn full of this liquid was heated to the boiling mint, before the audience. He then took the vessel .n ! nlunged a Fahrenheit ther- i mo meter into the boiling hqui and exhibited the in- strqment to the arentlemen. It stood at 340. " Satis- said he, "satisfy yourselves." He then took a spoon, dipt it in the oil, filled it, put it in ' his mouth and actually swallowed it down. Every , perisbn present was satisfied there was no deception practised. "What a letiou i" said one: " wny," said another, "a certain place, not to be named to ears polite,' carries no alarms to him." " Will you just take a peep," said a third, "behind, Monsieur Chaubert, and see if his feet are not cloven." "Now, gentlemen," said Monsieur C. " I shall pre pare to go into the oven, and take a dish of beef steaks with me to be cooked." He retired a few mi nutes to change his dress. Dr. Pascalis, who appear ei to be puzzled and perplexed at these experiments, took the. opportunity to step up to -the oven and look in. He opened the door and thrust his hand in. He soon drew back. "How is the oven Doctor? asked a brother physician. "By George I conld go in my- ! self" replied the Doctor. Monsieur Chaubert, how- ever, soon appeared, went into the oven, roused up thn fire, and made arrangements. He wore over his dress a large thick great coat. "Why do you wear that?" asked someone. "It is al! the same to me, said he, , " to go in dressed or undressed : if I go in un-; , I must be very cautious when 1 come out not i dressed to catch cold. 1 wear a coarse great coat over my dress, because it prevents me from catching cold be sides, I have now become economical." This was re ceived with applause. He then put the thermometer into the oven to ascertain the temperature. ".Bring the beef stakes here." They were brought. He put them into a tin dish ; sprinkled salt and pepper on them. " I like plenty of steaks," said he, quite jo vially. "Now, gentlemen,", cried Monsieur, "come and see the thermometer; but you must look sharp, because the least approach to the cold air will make it fall rapidly." Three gentlemen went up to the oven to examine. He seized the thermometer from the interior of the oven and held it out. " How much ? how mueh ?" It was several seconds before thay found the mercury and then iUwes 380. ' " Oh" saidhe "it is at least 480, has fallen since 1 took it out.' tie replaced tne thermometer, put a black cap on his nead, had tne dish of steaks placed along aside of him, took a large tin tube which he protruded' through an aperture in the iron door to breathe through, and then entered the oven. During his stay in the oven He looked through his tube, talked rapidly, and sung a pretty French air. He was continually asking "how many minutes gen tlemen?" "How many?" "One" "Two."- " Three." " Oh it must be more, gentlemen : oh it is very hot, gentlemen ; full 500 degrees; how many mi nutes ?" " Four Five Six Seven Eight mi nutes." At ight minutes and fifty one seconds from his entrance, out he bounced, came down on the stage all covered with perspiration. "Feel his,pulse" cried several of the physicians. " Oh yes, gentlemen, feel rnv nnlsft." .aid he. holding out both his arms. It was felt immediately and found to be as high as ifin "lVn rWeririon." said he. The devil a bit of deception is there," said one of the spectators. "Fetch me. out the beef-steaks." j said Monsieur. "they are well done now." The dish was brought dnwn and nuite a rush was made upon them. Every -one that i ould reach the platform, cut a piece oi? and fell to eating. "These steaks are very fine," said one "Rather too much done," said another. "That fehW Chaubert," said a grave looking personage chewinff his steak and leavmg the room, " is cer certainly his Satanic majesty himself." Dr. Mott went up to the oven, put his head into the door, drew it ranidlv out, and nodded very significantly, as much as to say, all right, no deception." The rest of the spectators stood gazing, talking, and expressing won der, surprise, astonishment. &.r tm Monsieur Chaubert wasa Captain in the service of nauuiwui lie was tagen rmavnorhutho Rnnane and sent to Siberia, where it is supposed he discover ed his secret antidote to fire and poison. Two years ago ne xcitea great astonishment in T.nnrirm nri satisfied the college of Physicians and Surgeons! that there was no deception in his experiments. He wa offered 5000 for his antidote to prussic acid Kt would not take less than 10,000. He has a familvof ten children is a good' loking man -with an oval face and fine person. He wears moustaches. He is quite talkative and intelligent, speaks fourteen lan guages but English rather incorrectly. He is truly a wondrous wonder. . FIFTH CENSUS. FROM THE NEW YORK COURIER AND ENQUIRER.

The following article from the Illi nois Patriot, will give some idea of the absurdities of this new faith. The Mormonites. A preacher of this sect visited us last Saturday. We heard a part of his lecture, which occupied more than two hour. From his ac count, this sect came into existence a little more than i year since in the following manner : A young man o"ea aroununim apparenuy to seen tne creauuty oi me people in tnis enngntenea age, couia oe tnus imposed on) who informed him three times in bne i night that by visiting a certain place in that tovvn he would have revealed to him something oi importance. 1 he young man was disturbed, but did not obey the summons until the following day, when the anel aain visitedhim. . At the place appointed, he lbund in the earth a box which contained a set! of thin plates resembling gold, with arabic characters inscribed on them. . The elates were minutely de- scribed as being connected with rings in the shape of the leter D' which- facilitated the opening and shut- ""S u, lu,'uuuK ."c c wic tstiuie puiue iwu cstuiica vviui vvnicji ue wua eiuruiiiu py placing them over his eyes and putting his head ii a dark corner to decypher the hierogliphics on the plates ! This we were told as performed to admiration, and now, as the result, we have a book which the speaker informed us was thu Mormon Bible a book second, to no other without which, the holy bible, he seemed to think, would be of little use. i It appears from his state r.:r:t, that three of the off spring of Joseph, by his youngest son Ephraim, whose names were Laman, Nephi and Lehigh, asnearjas we could understand, were the persons from whom sprang Mornion Lamau and Nephi rather declined from walking in the right way but Lehig was firm in the faith ; Mormon, who was a prophet, led them eastward until they came to the sea, as we, suppose, where they . built a ship and came to this western world. To prove this, the preacher referred us to Ge nesis, 49th Chapter and 22d verse, and said the branches ninninrr nuor tho lvn 1 1 mprp noirhpr mnra nnr I.iqq tlinn the progeny of jeph, leaving their own and coming tQ tWg country ; He went into a detail 0fthe reasons which induced him to join himself to this people that on account of so many sects being in the world, ahd the discrepancies in their own opinions, he becaibe sceptical that hearing of these people July last, jhe joined himself to them,, believing them to constitute the true church and that he came this way to meet a convocation of elders in Jackson county, Missouri, which is to be their New Jerusalem, but was disap- poinieu in nut, seemg uieiu uicic. i He insisted on the bible being joined with his book, by quoting the 16th and 17th verses of the 37th chap- ter ot .biZeKiei, ana comparing me Diuie ana Mor mon's book to-the two sticks there spoken of. We thought this part of his subiect too ludicrous to be refu ted by any man in his right mind. We cannot now enter into the merits pf his discourse, nor should ve have given this hastily written sketch, had we not been requested to say, something on the subject.! Some of these men may be sincere : but does this prove they are in the right? The worshippers (of Juggernaut are sincere, or they would not sacrifice their lives by throwing themselves under the wheels ot its lite destroying car.
