It has already been stated that a ship arrived at Boston last week from Liv erpool, with 800 Moimons. The Cour ier says : " . " Many of the families were possessed of considerable property. The captaiu estimated the i amount of British gold Upon the passengers at $20,000, and said that he knew of more than one person' who had 1,000 for his own "use and that of his family. Several liad'Jeft relatives and friends behind them. Our woman had left her hus band that she might go to the land of the saiiiis ; and there was another beau tiful, dark-eyed young woman, with, a young infant, whose. story, as told by (he captain, was quite touching. The captain noticed her when they started, ns possessed of great beauty, j but lost sight of -her in a day or two, j and, supposiug she had changed her quarters, did not inquire for her for eight or ten days. He was then told that she had been ; very sick, and was still quite feeble, tie had her brought from between decks, where she was, upon the deck, and laid on a mattress, got lier some port wine and cake, and tried 10 bring her back to health. Under this treatment she! improved much and in reply to his questions told him that she had left a pleasant home in a quiet vil lage in England, and a husband td whom ehc had been married hut a year df two, for this journey. He asked her reasons. Che replied that she had done so for Christ's sake, who had promised that if one forsook father and mother and husband for him, . she , should . receive lnore abundantly in this life, and in the world to come everlasting life. The conduct of these Mormons on board the vessel was exemplary. In their personal habits they were cleanly, rmlv four usinz tobacco. As soon as the immigrants had left Liverpool they formed themselves into eight divisions, with about one nunureu in each division, and chose a bishop and an elder to preside over each company They had morning and evening service prayer and singing and In the even ing generally a sermon. Oil Sundays n sermon was preached to each Section. JroM the Albany Evening Journal. FOrtCISa LIQUOR DOWJt A BOY'S THROAT. On Sunday night, two members of Ctlv of New York, ana the other Northern County, both stopping at the Congress Hall, enticed a colored boy named Levi Johnson, who is employed as a hall-bov. to enter their room; "Just for fun they, wished to make the toy drunk. He refused to drink. Th:y insisted that he should. " He stil refustd, thereupon they, took him by ;the neck, threw, him on the floor, 'and forced it down his throat. Not Bat s- hed with this, they shaved, mooui six inches of hair off his head He look ed after the operation like the picture of lhe Evil One, as representing his Satan ic JVIsjesty. 4 This may have been lun to them for the moment, but It was not so to Johnson, for he on Monday came before Justice Cole and obtained a war. rant. It was placed an .the v hands of officer Teelin, but b foie the precept was served, through the intervention of friend s,' the matter vsas adjusted by each paying Johnson $5. " He is guilty of a great wrong in compromising the matter and not allowing the terpetra tors of the gross torong to be brought to justice. 4 . , . . . GREAT CONFLAGRATION. 2 0R90 HORSES DE STROYJETD. PROBABLE LOSS 880,000. Montgomery, Ala., Sunday, April 26th, 4 o'clock, A, M. A fire broke out in the Eclipse Livery Stable on Law rence street, between Market and Mon roe, this .morning about one o'clock. The stable being filled with combustible material, the. flames spread very rapid ly, and of course but little time was left to rescue the many valuable horses with which it was occupied. - It is supposed that at least thirty of them perished, in cluding most of the valuable ting horses belonging to the Circus of Col. Orton the celebrated stallion 'Bog Logic,' prop erty of Mr. Hitchcock the fast trotters belonging to Fred. Tyler -the beautiful buggy horse at Wm. Farley, and prob ably all the .horses of Mr. Carter, pro prietor of the stable, besides many oth ers. But the exact extent of the loss in this particular, however, cannot be ascertained until after daylight, as doubt less a number, of horses after being turned out wandered about the ciiy.' The flames next communicated to the buildings occupied by Brown & Bulger as negro trading house, which were soon consumed. The next and last house which caught on fire and burned, was that of Mrs. Sayre, situated on Monroe street. We are not informed as to who (were the 'occupants of this last nnmed u:i.i;. . we regret to learn tnat james forter accidentally fell inio the well attached to the LiVi ry Stable, and injured him self seriously. His thigh, we under stand, was bioken, and he has jus-t been canied hom? almost insensible. Y .... Advertiser and Gazette. , A CASE OF HONESTY. On Thursday afternoon, the Clerk of the Criminal Court was surprised by the appearanue of a poor German and his wife, who brought with thru- a gold dollar, and with all the solemnity inci dent to an occasion in which a question in law was concerned, asked him to take charge of it. Th story of the ''dollar," as related by the German, was this: He sells oranges on the street, and on reaching the bottom of his bas ket that morning he'discovered the dol lar, and as he knew it was not his own, he said it made. him "feel bad" (placing hishaud upon his heart) to think that he should be in possession of money that did not belong to him.; But as he did not know who it did belong to. like a faithful husband he Had the subject before his belter half, who being equal- y aggrieved at the fact of unjust pos session, advised him to Uke it to Court, and deliver it tip to be dealt with ac cording to law. And so this couple trudged down to' the office of the Clerk aforesaid, when Mr. Jones, Deputy Clerk, tcld them that by all rights of aw, it belonged to the finder, and he deserved ten more for his honesty. He regrets that he did not enquire his name, though he produced his ' naturalization papers, tosubstantia e any fact that might be necessary. FATAL ACCIDENT.
