Fellow citizens: I offer to you my congratulations for the peaceful and honorable adjustment of recent difficulties.

Those citizens who have left their homes, I invite to return, as soon as they can do so with propriety and convenience.

To all I announce my determination to enforce obedience to all the laws, both Federal and Territorial.

Trespasses on property, whether real or personal, must be scrupulously avoided.

Gaming and other vices are punished by Territorial statutes with peculiar severity, and I commend the perusal of those statutes to those persons who may not have had an opportunity of doing so previously.

Hereunto I set my hand, and caused the seal of the Territory [SEAL.] to be affixed, at Great Salt Lake City in the Territory of Utah, this fourteenth day of June, one thousand eight hundred and fiftyeight, and of the Independence of the United States the eighty-second.

By the Governor,

JOHN HARTNETT, Secretary.

KANSAS.-Matters are very quiet at present in Kansas, the only excitement for some time has been the murder, by Gen. Jim Lane, of a neighbor of his, a Mr. Jenkins. He was, however, acquitted by a free state judge. The prospects are, that the elections will pass off quietly, but that Kansas will refuse to become a State under the Provisions of the English bill.

ERIE RAILROAD ACCIDENT. -A terrible and distressing accident took place on the New York and Erie Railroad on Thursday night, July 15th, by which six persons were instantly killed, and nearly forty more wounded. The night express train encountered a broken rail at Glen Hollow, about five miles from Port Jervis, when two cars were thrown off the track down the embankment, which at this point is nearly thirty feet high and very steep. The sufferers were removed as soon as practicable to Port Jervis, where the wounded received medical aid, and were attended to by the citizens of the town.

CELEBRATION OF THE FOURTH OF JULY IN LONDON.-The Fourth of July was celebrated in London by a dinner at the London Tavern, at which 150 Americans and natives "assisted." The formation of an American Association in London was proposed, and a high state of good feeling and jollity prevailed. The American Consul at London, General Robt. B. Campbell, presided.

DEATH OF GENERAL QUITMAN.-The death of JOHN ANTHONY QUITMAN, Major General in the regular army, and member of Congress from Mississippi, took place on Saturday, July 17th, at his residence near Natches, Mississippi. He was born at Rhinebeck, New York, on the first of September, 1799, and was eminent as a soldier and statesman and jurist. His death was universally regretted.

For an interesting sketch of the eventful life of this great military chieftain and honest statesman, the reader is referred to the March number of the Review, which also contained a perfect likeness of Gen. Quitman. We have a distinct recollection of our last interview with the General in March. He was then in feeble health, and said he entertained but faint hopes of

the restoration of his former strength and vigor. In response to our invitation to visit New York, he remarked: "It will not be possible for me to leave my post until the adjournment of Congress. There are many matters of interest before us, and especially the Kansas question. It is my purpose to test the vote of this Congress, on the simple question of the rights of the territories and states to self-government. To see how far my Democratic friends who profess this doctrine will vote for its practicable application to Kansas. I hope for the best, but I am apprehensive of the result."

Faithful to his purpose, Gen. Quitman did submit the question distinctly and fairly on the 31st day of March, and the House rejected it. Yeas 72. Nays 160.

THE GALWAY LINE OF STEAMSHIPS.-A new line of Steamships, six in number, of which MR. LEVER, an Englishnan, is the proprietor, has made its first essay, from the fine old port of Galway, to Halifax and New York. It is strange that, notwithstanding the immense emigration from Ireland, and the fact of the distance being so much shorter, no one has ever tried this experiment before.

The first mail ever received by a steamer direct from Ireland, came during the past month in the Indian Empire. Direct particulars are placed in the hands of passengers who wish to reach English ports, and the rates of transport are said to be very low:

If this line is liberally and properly conducted, we see no reason why it should not become popular with all classes of passengers. Ocean steam navigation is yet in its infancy. But little more than twenty years ago the pioneer ship-the Sirius-hove in sight off the Battery; and now we are in almost daily communication, by steam, with the principal European ports. A glance at the following table will show the progress that has been made since 1838, the number of lines now in existence, exclusive of the Quebec line of three steamers, and the number of ships employed:

Ten millions of dollars are invested in steamships plying between this port and Europe, and the chief part of that sum has been subscribed by foreign enterprise.

STATE FAIRS. The following State fairs are to be held during the year: -Alabama, at Montgomery, October 18 to 22; California, at Marysville, August 23 to 28; Connecticut, at Hartford, October 12 to 15; Illinois, at Centralia, September 14 to 18; Indiana, at Indianapolis, October 4 to 9;

Iowa, at Oscaloosa, September 28 to October 1; Kentucky, at Louisville, September 27 to October 1; Missouri, at St. Louis, September 6 to 16; New Hampshire, at Dover, October 6 to 8; New Jersey, at Trenton, September 15 to 17; New York, at Syracuse, October 5 to 8; Ohio, at Sandusky, September 14 to 17; Rhode Island, at Providence, September 15 to 18; Vermont, at Burlington, September 14 to 17; Wisconsin, at Madison, October 4 to 7; United States, at Richmond, Va., October 25 to 30.

THE RUSSIAN PEASANT REVOLT.-An outbreak of the peasantry has taken place in Russia, in the province of Esthonia, which was considered of some importance on account of its near neighborhood to St. Petersburgh. An English correspondent says:

"It is to be observed that serfdom proper was put an end to in Esthonia, and in the rest of the Baltic provinces of Russia, more than forty years ago, under Alexander I. The present measures of emancipation do not affect the Esthonian peasants at all. But this seems only to have excited them the more, and what they now claim is free possession of the land which they at present hold on hereditary tenure from the nobility. The rising is general all along the coast, and has compelled the nobility to seek refuge in Reval. The engagement mentioned yesterday took place between part of the garrison at Reval and a body of peasants, about 1,000 strong, who are moving to and fro and encouraging the others to revolt. They as yet have no other arms than sticks and clubs, pitchforks and sharpened poles; but they are so excited that they were not afraid at all of the soldiery, whose numbers, it is true, were but small.

"The soldiers were soon everpowered by the larger numbers of the peasants, and left altogether fifteen men, four officers among them, killed; while of the peasantry about forty may have been killed."

MASSACRE AT JEDDAH IN ARABIA.-The news of a frightful massacre of Christians, by Mahommedans at Jeddah, has been brought by telegraph from Quebec. Twenty persons, including the British and French Consuls, are reported to be victims to this outrage. Attacks of this kind by the Mahommedans have been painfully frequent within the last few months. Christian missionaries have been cruelly assaulted at different points in Syria since the commencement of this year. The Turkish government offers the sum of 150,000 francs to the families of the English and French consu's killed at Jeddah, and promises to punish the assassins. The war between the Mussulmans and Rayahs, in Bosnia, had again broken out with great fury, and three thousand Christians had crossed over into Austrian Croatia. It was said that the Circassians had defeated the Russians, with great loss to the latter.

This last outrage, however, is represented of a more bloody and alarming character, and will probably demand the interference of England and France, whose representatives are among the murdered. Since the outbreak of the Indian war there seems to have sprung up among the Mahommedan nations all over Asia a bloody hostility to the Christians; whether that event has had anything to do with the sudden revival of that spirit or not, it is hard to say; but it looks as if it had gained an extraordinary impulse, from the fact that the Mahommedan and Hindoo population of Hindostan were in arms against the great Christian "civilizer" of the Indian peninsula.

The English government have ordered off three ships of war to discover

and bring by forcible means, if necessary, the perpetrators ofthe outrage to justice.

QUEEN VICTORIA'S VISIT TO CHERBOURG.-Queen Victoria's visit to Cherbourg early in the present month is definitely arranged and officially announced. This step is looked upon as very significant, neither more nor less than the pledge of a new alliance.

Great preparations have been made for her reception, and the Count Persigny had been sent to London to submit the programme for the Queen's approval. From Cherbourg her Majesty, with the Prince Consort, proposes a visit to Coblentz, to the Princess Frederick William of Prussia.

The squadron to accompany Queen Victoria to Cherbourg consists of six sail of the line, six frigates, and a flotilla of steam yachts, under the command of Lord Lyons.

CONDITION OF THE THAMES.-The exceedingly warm weather experienced during this season, has engendered a foul atmosphere from the Thames, in London, which has become a most frightful nuisance, and all sorts of schemes are discussed to rid the population of so vile an evil. Acting as the sewer to this great metropolis, it has become filled with all sorts of villanous substances, and a pestilence was feared as the result of the loathsome effluvia. One method suggested to correct the evil is to construct tunnels under both banks of the Thames, and thus carry off the sewerage some distance below London.

It is rumored that government intend to apply for power to raise a loan of three millions to purify the river.

ENGLAND'S BEST CUSTOMERS.-England's best customers in 1858 are:Russia for woollen and worsted yarn; France, for wool, thrown silk and silk yarn, coals, unwrought copper, and pig, bar, bolt, rod, and cast iron; Australia for lead, for British spirits, stationery, hardware, and cutlery, saddlery, wrought leather, and apparel and slops; United States, for salt, tin plates, unwrought steel, linens, woollens, haberdashery, millinery, and silk manufactures; British West India for soap; East Indies for cottons, ale and beer, copper and yellow metal in sheets and nails, and other machinery than steam engines; Spain for steam engines; Hanse Towns for worsted stuffs; Spain and the Hans Towns for linen yarn; Holland and the Hans Towns for seed oils.

CHINA. The Navy Department has received despatches from our squadron in the China seas. It is stated that intelligence had reached Hong Kong that the Emperor of China had acceded to the wishes of the allied commissioners so far as to appoint an official of proper rank to confer with them at Pie-Ho, and this step was regarded as a very favorable one for a speedy solution of the pending difficulties. The steam frigate San Jacinto, sailed from Hong Kong for New York on the 14th of May.

INCREASE IN THE CONSUMPTION OF SUGAR.-An English parliamentary return shows that in 1858, 2,617,172 cwt. of foreign sugar were retained for home consumption in the United kingdom, against 1,618,750 cwt. in 1856, and 2,321,434 cwt. in 1855. The quanty of refined sugar and candy so retained was 297,551 cwt. The aggregate quantity of foreign sugar of all sorts so retained, 1857, was 2,913,723 cwt. The quantity of unrefined sugar imported from the East and West Indies, the Mauritius, Guiana, &c.,

last year, amounted to 5,311,333 cwt, against 5,684,668 in 1856. The quantity of molasses so imported was 306,153 cwt.

LITERATURE IN ST. PETERSBURGH.-A letter from St. Petersburg tells us that literary activity now prevails in Russia, of which the like was never seen before. A great many foreign cotemporary authors of renown have just been translated, and amongst them are Macaulay, Grote, and Prescott. Numerous works of native authors are announced. Au Illustrated St. Petersburg News has been established. Theatrical, literary, scientific, military, maritime, and economic journals have been started; periodicals, containing original tales and translations are numerous; even mild imitations of Punch are not wanting.

M. PROUDHON'S SENTENCE-M. Proudhon has appealed against the condemnation of three years' imprisonment and 4,000 fr. fine for the publication of his recent book. The printers and publisher of the book have not taken any step to set aside their sentences.

PRINCE JEROME and the PARISIAN PRESS.-Some of the restrictions have lately been removed from the French Press, and a generally wide, liberal policy observed. This is understood to have been the effect of the advice of Prince Jerome, who declined his appointment to Algeria, and has recently been admitted into the councils of the Emperor. He is said to be a favorite with the Empress, and received a visit from her recently. On July 2d he gave a grand dinner, at which were present Prince Napoleon, Queen Christina, the Duke de Rianzares, the Duke de Rivas, the Spanish Ambassador, all the Ministers now in Paris, M. Baroche, Marshal and Madame Magnan, Marshal Randon, M. Alfred Branche, Secretary General of the Ministry of Algeria, and several other personages of distinction.

LAUNCH OF THE U. S. STEAM SLOOP-OF-WAR BROOKLYN.-On the 3d day of March, 1857, was approved an Act of Congress for the construction of five steam sloops-of-war, all of which are now in the process of building. One, the Hartford, is being built at the Boston Navy Yard; the Lancaster is being built at the Philadelphia Navy Yard; the Richmond is progressing at the Navy Yard at Norfolk, and the Pensacola, at the Pensacola Navy Yard. The contract for the construction of one of the number, the Brooklyn, was awarded to a New York shipbuilder, with the view to test the relative merits of private and public enterprise, and thus far the former has distanced the latter, at least so far as the speed of construction is concerned. The contract was awarded on the 17th of November last to Stephen G. Bogert, of the Westervelt shipyard-founded by ex-Mayor Jacob A. Westervelt. On the 27th of December the keel was laid, and on the morning of the 27th July, seven months after, it was launched amidst the plaudits of thousands of ladies and citizens who had assembled to witness the event.

The rapidity with which the Brooklyn has been advanced in its construction is of itself a practical argument in favor of individual enterprise as against the slow workings of executive ability when placed in subordination to boards and councils, and this, too, when it is not often expected that private ship-builders will be supplied at all times with all the requisite quantities and qualities of timber for so great an undertaking.

The Brooklyn is one of the class of auxiliary screw steamers, which have proved most successful in the naval service generally. She is 247 feet long on deck, 43 feet breadth of beam, and 21 feet six inches deep. Her frame
