MISCELLANEOUS.

— ♦ ; — Matters in Utah are rapidly coming to a focns. The Federal officers and Federal Courts have commenced work upon that moral cancer in real easiest. Many leaders, including some bishrfps, have been arrested, tried, found gui'tv, and are now paying the penalty. The Church is bccoraiug alarmed, and ba* sent a delegation to wait upon the President with an appeal and a protest against the action of the Courts. In this Appeal the Mormon 'Chrtrch P'*^ itself ■sinawly upon the g-ounds that its edicts are superior to legislation and that polygamy is a vital part of their religion"; that it is right and in accordance with Divine command; that it "'differs from polygamy in the East iri this, that it v* a non sensual marriage ; and claims it as a natural right, "Mormon influence is no longer equal to the task of thwarting justice through perjury and bribery. Uuder the ruling of the Courts two prominent Church dignitaries have been sentenced to terms' iii the penitentiary, and others have confessed judgment rather than risk trial. The halter is tightening and lias moved them to formulate an hysterical protest All that remains to wipe, the thing out is a vigorous enforcement of the law, when good men and -women everywhere will rejoice and say Amen ! A company has been formed in Melbourne to fit out an expedition to New Guinea to prospect the south eastern portion of the island for gold. A member of one of the recent expeditions' to the island asserts that be fould gold there, and a six ounce nugget has been exhibited in proof of the truth of his statement The locality in whioh the gold is alleged to have been found is between the Micassa and the Fly rivers and about 80 miles from the sooth-east coast. The quarts from which the gold was taken is said to be an outcrop of a large reef, the exposed portion being about 20ft in length and 4ft in width. M>' Cosmo Newbery and Mr Reginald Murry, geologists, have lwth certified that the nugget exhibited has been derived from a quarts rosk, fragments ot which may be detected on the under surf ice ; while the crystalline surface has been in contact with the sandy clay. The New Guine* Exploring Company (Limited., which was foraed on th ■"Strength of this has a capital of £3750, in 1 50 promoters' shares, of which 90 were offered to th* public. The finder of the negget, Mr ; Kerry, has heen allotted 30 shares, and j ia to receive £1000 if the reef is d?«- j covered No time will be hat in rotiipf»in« th* expedition. Mr Kerry will H* placed in cownand, and the p*rty will probably «ww%t of about 10 Europeans who will afterward* be leinfcuwd by aom* of tbV Natives on the New Ctafae* eoa«l.
