MORMON EMMIGRANTS.-The St Louis News says :
The Grand Tower, up on the 29th March, had 225 Danes, all Mormons, and bound for Salt Lake. The John Simonds, in this morning, (March 30) has 240 English and Welsh of the same faith, and bound for the same destination. Large numbers of emigrants professing this creed are now on their way from Eu-rope. A ship was at the Balize when the John Si-monds left New Orleans, with about 400 of them on board.
The News of the 31st has the following:
FAITHLESS MORMONS.-We are told that a large number of the English, and a few of the Welsh arriv-ing here within a few days past, professing the Mor-mon faith, have refused to emigrate farther, and more especially do they refuse to go to Salt Lake. From what we are told, a large portion of these emigrants came over to this country under the care of a Mormon agent, and by a joint stock concern, making bargains with ships and steamboats for a large number, several hundred at a time, the pro rata cost of transportation is greatly reduced, and the average per head, includ-ing members of families does not, by this wholesale system, exceed $8 or $10 per head from Liverpool or London to this city. Since the arrival here of a large number of these people, it appears that they only pro-fessed belief in the doctrine of Joe Smith, for the pur-pose of having themselves and families classed as Mormons in the emigration list, thereby saving a con-siderable sum, owing to the low rate at which large numbers are taken, and the cheap manner in which food and other necessaries are laid in by the agents for these emigrating parties. A number who arrived yes-terday, and the day previous, took up their quarters in the city, or shipped themselves and families on hoard boats bound for the Upper Mississippi, bidding adieu to their professed religion and its especial agent.
The St. Louis Republican of the 12th notice these seceders from the Mormon faith, and says:
The Elder in this city is making arrangements, we understand, for the early removal of several hundred Saints to the Salt Lake. There are now in St. Louis from 3000 to 4000 Mormons. all told.
