Our conversation was here interrupted by a gardener, who proscntcd the Rajah and myself respectively, with a nosegay and who volunteered the information, that some workmen, in digging the foundation of a vine trellis, had come upon an old house under the earth, and in it had found several gold and silver coins. "Where said the llajah. "There!" said the gardener, pointing in the direction.

Wc hurried to the spot and found that the workmen had gone but sure enough, there were the walls of an apartment, formed of red stone and white marble.

On the following morning haviug spent a very dreamy night, I was carried in my palanquin to the Jatucc Bagh. Such was the name of. the Jootccpcrsad's gardenhouse, in which Lull Singh then resided.— The Maharajah was dressing. I was confronted by a Sheik with an enormous beard, whose hair was a yard long, and tied up in a peculiar knot on the top of his head, and who politely inquired if I would take coffee. Ere long the llajah made his appearauce and wc weut together to the newly discovered ty-khana, which was now guarded since gold and silver had bccu founu there. The. workmen some twenty in number, came and commenced their labor that of clearing away the earth in all directions, in order to get at the bottom of the apartment in the ty-khana. This was accomplished in about two hours, and we then stood upon a stone floor in the centre of a room about sixteen feet square. In •cvcral of the niches were little lamps such as are burnt on the tombs of Moslcn, and a hookah and a pair of marble chairs were found in this subterraneous apartment, of which the sky now the roof. Whilst examining the walls, I observed that upon one, side, Uiere was a ledge about cix feet |tigh finoin the floor, (and carried up therefrom) and about a foot in width. This Ifsdge which was anade of brick and plaster, resembled & huge mantle piece, and t*i continued from one end of the apartment to the other. I asked the llajah the reason of such structure in the apartment.

Be .replied he did not know, nor could any of the workmen account for it one of them however took a pickaxe and dug out a

upon the bones, which were corcred with a costly dress of white muslin, spangled all over with gold around the neck was a string of pearls on the wrists and ankles were gold bangles, and on the feet were a pair of slippers, embroidered all over with silver wire or thread such as only Mahomedan women of rank or wealth can afford to wear. The body resembled a well preserved mummy. The features were very distinct, and were those of a woman whose age could not, at the time of her death, have exceeded eighteen or nineteen years. The head was partially covered with the white dress. Long black hair was still clinging to the scalp, and was parted across the forehead and carried behind the ears. It was the most horrible and ghastly figure that I ever beheld.

The workmen appeared to take it as a matter of course or rather to regard it only with reference to the gold and silver ornaments upon the skeleton, and it was with great difficulty that I could prevent, their stripping it forthwith. As for the Rajah, he simply smiled, and coolly remarked: "A case of jealousy. Her husband was jealous of her, and thought her guilty, and punished her thus,—bricked her up alive in this wall, with no room to move about, only standing room. Perhaps she deserved it—perhaps she was plotting against his life perhaps she was innocent. Who can say? Hindoos'as well as Mahommedans punish their wives in this way." "You mean that they used to do so in former times, previous to British rule in India. But such a thing could not occur in our time." "It docs not occur as often as it did but it does occur sometimes, even in these days. IIow do you know what happens in the establishment of the wealthy native? Let us look a little further into the wall. It strikes me we shall find some more of them.",

Orders were given accordingly to the workmen to remove, with great care, the whole of the ledge, in short to pull away its entire face. This was done and how shall I describe the awful spectacle then presented? In that wall there were no less than five bodies—four besides that already alluded tu. One of the number was a young man, who from his dress and the jewels on his finger-bones, must have been a person of high rank perhaps the lover

The sun was now shining brightly on these ghastly remains, covered with garments embroidered iu gold and silver.— The air had a speedy effect on them, and one by one, they fell each forming a heap of bones, hair, shrivelled skin, duf-t, jewels and finery.

FEARFUL ADVENTURE.—In Cincinnati, last week, a lightning rod man had a most fearful adventure. The man had ascend, cd the sp're of St. Paul's Cathedral to the height of about two hundred and thirty feet, leaving the ladder below, and clinging to the rod with his hands and feet. Suddenly becoming dizzy, he retained but one natural sense and that was self-preserva-tion. His dangerous position and nervous sensatiou produced so great an excitement as to cause the blood to trickle from his forehead and nearly blind him. Finally he grasped the spire and with alniost unnatural tenaiity clung to it until he reached the ladder below, and was assisted into the topmost window. Upon fully realizing his escape his nerves and muscles relaxed he grew sick unto death his knees gave way, his vision swam, and he sank.upon the platform motionless and insensible.

EXTRACTS FROMBRIGIIAM TOCNG'S SPEECHES. In the Deseret News of Dec., 30th, a sermon by Brigham, delivered in October, is for the first time reported. Brigham says *^1" Jlr •.,!**• .* fcy. I. "I have'never foAtid any fault-with the Lord for not bringing victory sooner, for I know that if our enemies intend to try to come here by way of Emigration Kanyon we will be ready to meet them, and if they intend to come round by the Malad we will be ready to meet them, and if they undertake to come by Fort Hall we shall also be ready to meet them. If they thought that we were or would be asleep, they might undertake to come here.

The time has arrived when we have either to be trodden under foot by our enemies and die, or to defend ourselves and our rights, and which will it be? Every man and woman feel their hearts fail them when they think of submitting to the oppression and awful abominations practiced by our enemies, and sought by them to be introduced into our society, and we will not submit to such wicked and unlawful treatment, whether it comes from United States or united hell, for the terms are synonymous, as the Government is now conducted. I tell you, and I tell our enemies that xoe are here, ami we intend to stay here.— [The congregation responded, "Amen."] They have a job on hand, if they persist in their efforts to deprive American citizens of their rights. I told Captain Van Vliet that I did not care how many troops they sent. "Why," said he, "the United States with an overflowing treasury, can send .out ten, twenty, or fifty thousand troops." I replied, "I do not care anything about that." The Captain then asked whether I had counted the cost, and I said, yes, for this people I have, but I cannot estimate it for the United States, for, if they actually persist in their tyrannical course, before they get through, they will want to let the job to sub-contractors. They do not know the Captain of the armies of Israel, and, although they profess to believe in Him, they do not realize that He is about to hold a controversey with them for their iniquity.

We confess ourselves very tired of the expression, used in the manufacture of political platforms, that "freedom is national and slavery sectional." It- will do very well to "round off" a high sounding resolution, but means just nothing at all. "Freedom is national"—says one of the Indianapolis Conventions. Does it mean the freedom of white men?

He cannot vote, he is taxed for the support of schools from which he is excluded, and a clause was engrafted in the Constitution by a majority of ninety-five thousand, forbidding free negroes, under pain of fine and imprisonment, from coming into the State. Let us hear no more ot such high sounding falacies. Let the anti-slavery party state the proposition fairly if they are in favor of freedom to the negro in Indiana as well as elsewhere, and at the next election the party will be swept out of existence and the anti slavery movement will again be confined to such men ns Garrison, Greeley, and Julian. Whatever views may be put forward in party platforms, it is a fact that the negro is not free in the North or in the South, nor can he be until we are prepared to embrace the faith of Fred Douglas himself, that the blacks are entitled to all the rights and privileges of freeborn whites.— Let all admit the truth fairly, however disagreeable to our feelings.

COUNTY, INDIANA, MARCH 27, 1858.

FROM A SALT LAKE LADY SAINT. The Providence Journal has seen a letter from one of the Mormon women at

Salt

Lake City, written to her daughter in this vicinity. She describes her situation as very comfortable, and writes with full confidence of the security of £he Saints under the protection of the prophet she scouts the idea that they can be harmed by the United States troops. She says:— "I expect you have heard the loud talk of Uncle Sam's great big army coming up to kill the Saints. Now, if you did but know how the Saints rejoice at the folly of the poor Gentiles. There are about four

that the freedom of the black man is na-j of a pound of beef a week. Thus you see They hoped the peop might be induced

that the old prophet's words are fulfilled 'Whoever shall fight against Zion shall perish.' The time is very near when one man shall chase a thousand, and ten shall put ten thousand to flight. Zion is free she is hid in one of the chambers of the Lord. We arc a free people we do not fear Uncle Sam's soldiers Wc only fear our father in Heaven We are learning his commaudments every day, from his prophet, and I am determined to keep them. If you were here and could hear the prophet's voice as I do, and hear the Lion of the Lord roar from the mountains, as I do, and know how near the scourge of the Lord is upon the Gentiles, you would flee to the mountains with haste the time has come when the Lord has called all the ciders home, and commanded them to bind up the law and seal the testimony.— They are comiug home as soon as possible. What comes next? The judgment, hailstorm, thunder, lightning, pestilence, war, and they that will not take up the sword against their neighbor must flee to Zion with safety. Will you come, oh my dear children

There is much more of the same character. Wc .have copied this to show the strength aud character of the delusion that prevails in Utah.

SPANISH INTERFERENCE IN MEXICO. A letter from Havana, addressed to the Charleston Courier, says that Spain participated, in the most active manner, in the recent troubles in Mexico. The object was to foment revolution, and to aid the ambition and purposes of Santa Anna. The writer adds "These things escape from the palace seives, although not published for the benefit of the ppople there is, indeed, very little attempt at concealment. Santa Anna, if lie is not taken by a Spanish steamer directly to Vera Cruz, is expected here every day, and agents from Mexico left this last month to visit liiin at (Jarthagona."

If our Government had intrigued half as actively in Cuban affairs, espousing the side of the revolutionists, as Spain has done in Mexico, the island would at this moment be a State in the American Union.

The United States Government, though belied in Europe as one that, favors filibustering, is rea.ly the only nation that always adheres to non-intervention in the affairs of other countries, which our accusers—England, France and Spain—are constantly violating. It is to get payment of a claim that Mexico owes her, and which Santa Anna promises to liquidate, that Spain has favored his restoration. She threatened the previous government of Mexico with war if it was nA paid, and yet there are some who imagine that it would be extraordinary if the United States should resort to similar vigorous measures to enforce our demand upon Spain for our just dues. Our Administration will do it, however, and, unless Spain promptly complies with our ultimatum, war will probably be the result.—Cincinnati En'juirer.

British Possessions. We give the following extract: Wc believe there is no right-minded person in England who has the slightest desire to see even the solitary and unimproving region of the Hudson's Bay Company supplanted by the despotism of an arch impostor, whose power is based upon

systematized licentiousness and organized blasphemy. The general impression was. that this uew Mormon exodus would direct itself toward the western portion of Mexido, where neither the authorities of the State nor the population would have power to impede its ingress. We confess that we canuot coutemplate without pain the probable complications to which this movement of the Mormons may give rise.

SENATOR HAMMON".'— A' correspondent Iflict How is England or rather its bespeaking of Senator Hammond, of South Carolina, and his views of the Northern States and their people, their whiteslaves, &c., says "I knew his father when he was a true Yankee from Massachusetts. lie then resided in Lexington district, South Carolina, and was the owner and manager of a sawmill. He had previously carried on the business of a butcher, at Columbia. His chief pride seemed to be centered in his son James, whom he trained from childhood in oratorical exercises. The mother of James was, I think, the daughter of an Englishman, named Fox. So the aristocratic Senator is half Yankee, half Bull. His Yankee father grudged no sacrifice to make him an orator, and fitting him for public life, not expecting that he would distinguish himself chiefly in efforts against the land of his fathers. 4,

A VOICE FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE. The moral of the late defeat of the Democracy of New Hampshire is thus read to ns by the Concord Patriot the leading Democratic paper of the State) of, the 10th of March:

The Kansas question has again crushed us with its ponderous, bliuds, unreasoning power. Before the Lecompton Constitution question wa3 brought before the country our prospects for success were highly flattering our triumph seemed to be certain that matter, with the course of the Administration upon it, fell like a wet blanket upon, the rising courage and earnest zeal of our friends, and from that day we were doomed our defeat wa? certain and apparent to all well-informed persons.

Yet the Democracy, hoping against hope continued the struggle with a courage and zeal never before excelled by them even under the most encouraging circumstances.

to think and act with reference to their own immediate interests, and they labored to direct their attention to the sole questions to be affected by the election but their labors were vain. "Kansas" and "Lecompton" were the magic words which directed the action of thousands of honest voters. niy, .W hat is true of New Hampshire will also be true of every Northern State where the Democratic party attempt to shoulder the Lecompton burden. There arc some loads which even the Democracy cannot carry.

'CURIOUS HISTORICAL FACT.—The wife of the celebrated Lord Clarendon, the author of the History of the Rebellion, was a Welsh pot-girl, who being extremely poor in her own country, journeyed to London to better her fortune, and became a servant to a brewer. While she was in this humble capacity, the wife of her master died, and happening to fix his affections on her, she became his wife. Himself dying soon after, left her heir to his property which is said to have amounted to between JC20,000 and .£30,000. Amongst those who frequented the tap at the brewery was a Mr. Hyde, then a poor barrister, who conceived the project of a matrimonial alliance with her. lie succeeded, and soon led the brewer's widow to the altar. Mr. Hyde being endowed with great talent, and now at the command of a large fortune, rose iu his profession, becoming the head of the Chancery Bench, and was afterwards the Hyde, Earl of Clarendon. The eldest daughter, the offspring of this union, won the heart of James, Duke of York, aud was married to him. Charles II. immediately sent for his brother, and having first plied him with some very sharp raillery on the subject, finished by saying "James, as you have brewn, so you must drink," and commanded that the marriage should be legally ratified and promulgated. Upon the death of. Charles, James II. inoiintod t.lif tlircmf, hut ]r(»mntnrr» rlnnt.li frustrated this enviable consummation in the person of his amiable duchess. Her daughters, however, were Mary, the wife of William II. and Queen Anne, both grandchildren of the ci/levant pot-girl from Wales, and wearing in succession the crown of England.

SSTW see that our friend Wm. II. English, who represents the district across the river, spoke in Congress on this Lccotnptonism. He is a Democrat in faith and practice. He has never swerved when a measure right and just was on hand, lie has been all his life a Democrat he has no sectional taint about him—never had.— But he can't fall down and worship the Kansas calf and he sees the old free soilers and abo.itionists, that the sound Democracy never had any faith iu, now in the chief seats in the synagogue, because tliey sing out, "Great is the Calf!" in response to party promptings. No wonder he feels contempt and indignation at the spectacle, lie knows what the South has to cxpect from her now trusted allies. After the result is worked out in Kansas, the furious zeal of the South for her admission into the Union, will be a good joke in the mouth of her enemies. A national Democrat, such as Win. II.

Women, fat, ill-made, dirty and stupid —such is the personnel of all harems.— Add to this that the women pass their days in jealousy of each other, disputing, abusing, and even fisticuffing, and you will understand that the happiness of Messieurs the Turks, which has for centuries inflamed the imaginations of romancers and poets leaves much to be desired to make it pcrfcct.'

The harem is a hell, where four or five furies busy themselves iu torturing a poor devil whom they call "'master and lord."-,

THE GOVERNOrtiOPCANTOtf-lllS AT* PEAR AlfCe. A letter from Canton to a French paper thus describes the appearance and man* ners of Yeh, the Governor of that city, after its capture and his being taken a prisoner

He is by no means the hero peopler thought him. He trembled violently when he was'taken he strenuously denied his identity and it was not until Mr. Parks bad several times bad the satisfaction of assuring his old enemy of his personal safety that he grew composed. As soon, however, as he felt himself safe, all his arrogance returned. He posed himself magnificently in his chair. He laughed at the idea of giving up his seals, and also at the' idea of his being led away. He would wait there to receive the men Elgin and Gros. They searched all his packages for papers, and found, among other things, the original ratifications of the treaties with England, France and America they were, as he intimated, too unimportant as as documents to be sent to Pekin. Thia search lasted three hours.

$ A BIRTH OiT'l'lllTcAItS. We had a visit this morning from Dr. Harlow of Massachusetts. The Dr. informs us that night before last, when in the cars on the Ohio & Mississippi Rail*road, coming to Cincinnati from St. Louis, quite an interesting incident occurred.— Immediately in front of him in the cars was a gentleman and his wife. The gentleman was a Lieutenant in the regular ar^ my, and his wife was a young lady of about 18 years of age. When about half way be--twccu St. Louis and Cincinnati, tlic lady was taken with pains, and inquiry was made if there was a doctor at hand. Our friend presented himself. It soon bccame apparent that the lady was about to become a mother. The seats of the cars were ar~ ranged, the men were put in a different car, and in a short time the lady presented her husband, the lieutenant, with a beautiful little girl. At the next station, good accommodations were obtained for th« young mother and her daughter, and when* Dr. Harlow left them yesterday, the two were doing nicely.—O. S. Journal.

t&'A correspondent of a Boston paper, writing from New Bedford of the revival in that place, says that the African churches arc thronged almost every evening in the week, and that an unusual religious feeling had been awakened in the several congregations. Their meetings are found to be somewhat peculiar in the singing, in the prayers and in the remarks. Such ex"--clamations as these often resound through the excited assemblies: "That's GrodV truth! Glory! I know God will hear dat prayer, cause he said he would! Dc blessing is coming! I feel it, I feel it—it feels?' good! Hell clutches us, but it couldn't' hold us! Pray, brudders pray, sisters—r. put in all you know! Dat's de way! Whites folks think colored folks don't know nothin*: Jjortl, drive out the giggling devils? Make dem feel bottcr-er and hotter-er!" &

Among the hymns which they aing is one with the following chorus: "Tlic dovil and mo. we don't ngroo,

I dun't liko lit in nnl hu don't lilce ma."

iQT'Tlie fatal consequences of abandon* ing principle for a supposed expediency was never made more palpable than in thoia case of the Missouri Compromise. Like Kansas, thc Missouri case had been long on thc tapis. It had been before Congress in one shape or another for years. It wasthc cause of a violent slavery agitation North and South. Thc whole country became "tired" of it, as they arc now "tired" of Kansas. Congress was determined to "get it out of the way," and so they: enacted what was called thc "Missouri Compromise"—that is, they compromised principle for expediency—they abandoned thc true principle of permitting the people of new States, as they applied for admission, to come into thc Union with such institutions us they chose, and set up a Congressional dictatorship, telling tho people on one side of a certain geographical line that it was for Congress to dccide as to what their domestic institution should be.

When Kansas cainc to be legislated for, in order to make our territorial legislation uniform, thc thc repeal of the 5lissouri Compromise was necessary. It was done, and every intelligent reader remembers the howl which it raised throughout the country, and especially at the North.— Ilad thc members of Congress in 1820 stood by principle instead of running off after "expediency" and "policy," the present generation would not have had to per* form the task of righting their errors, at the expense of a fearful agitation.

TAPE-WORM IN A WOMAN'S STOMACH.— Thc Rochester Democrat gives the particulars of the latest tape-worm case. On Friday last, a lady in that city, of ordinarj bulky person, but who, latterly, had b«en much reduccd and enervated by foms strange disease, had a tape-worm, of some twenty feet in length, ejected from her stomach by the use of the pumpkin-seed emulsion, a prescription found very efficacious in such eases. Thc worm had existed about two years, and portions of it had. beeu~thrown off, from time to timo, but no attempt waa made to destroy the thing until recently. ..
