He would never contentto the ndjourninentof Con gress without establishing a territorial government for New Mexico, nnd taking measures for tho prevention of a collision between Texas and New Mexico.

A Stubbing Allhlr. « On Saturday night last ubout 111 o’clock Dr. .1. M. Rchlf.v wns called in greathuste to attend aeouple of young men who had been stubbed on South Common near Jefferson street On arriving at the place ho found a young mau by tlie name of Leander Moohk an apprentice to Mr.THOMAS,Pilot,and auothername- cd Glenn, sou of tlie Carpenter by that name, lying on the ground bleeding profusely, one of them hav ing fainted .for the want of blood. Calling to bis as. sistnneosoine negroes who were near, the Doctor had the wounded men convovod to Claghorn’s Gym nasium, where, with the assistance of Dr. IIitciicock be took up the arteries aud bouud up the wounds af ter which tlie young men wero conveyed to their humes in a carriage. The account given of tho affair by the young men to Dr. S., is substantially as follows: The two, in company with a companion, had gone to tlie common to rccreute themselves, carrying with them a water melon. Having eaten the fruit, they were amusiu- themselves by pelting each other with the rind, when n white man passing at the time received, by mistake on tho side of his face u piece oi the rind which LENN had thus sportively thrown at his friend Moore. Glenn immediately apologised to the stranger for the accident; but, his friend seeing that the apology was not received, and that tlie man had drawn a large knife, called on Glenn to run. He did so, but, ill his flight, hitting his foot'against n tuft of gi ass, lie was tlitown to the ground, when his pur suer was enabled to overtake him, and while he was still lying upon the ground, to cut him with his dirk across tlie leg above tile knee, laying it open to tlie bone. His crys for assistance brought young Moobe to his aid, who was immediately cut by the stranger across the wrist, inflicting a severe wound and severing otic of tlie brunches of the radial artery — The young men describe tlie person who attacked them as being of medium size, with thin visage, and bandy whiskers. He wore light pantaloons, light vest, black coat, and straw hat. After he stabbed young Moore he went off in tho direction of Curry • town. We give the above statement us it was given to the physicians and others by tho wounded men. Allow ing it to be a correct version of the affair, (which of course has too sides) we cannot hut consider the ut- t«ck as a most wanton outrage. Even admitting that the rind had been thrown intentionally, no proper minded man, unless blinded by passion, would Iiave revenged the iusult by periling the lives of the offend ers. Iti3 to he hoped that the party who inflicted tlie wounds may yet be discovered’and thut the affair may be thoroughly investigated. We learn that the young men were doing well yes terday evening.

Important Treaties.—it is stated that two trea tie3 of considerable importance were negotiated un der the direction of General Taylor, just before his death, but wero not concluded and will doubtless be approved by liis succcessor. One was with Mexi co, lor the extradition of fugitives from justice, upon the principle contained in the treaties with France and England ; and die other was with Peru, for com merce in Guano, on a footing with tlie most iavored nations. This privilege has been heretofore monopoli zed almost exclusively by G rent Britain. It will be of great value to the agricultural interests and partic ularly to tlie benefit of several of the old States. A Coated Pill. In Lowell, 111., a happy couple were recently married, and in the evening the rowdies of the neighborhood collected and charivtiried tha party, firing guns, pistols', and making all manner of hideous sounds ; at length cake was handed round to the outsiders—each cake containing a portion of tartar emetic. The consequence was, that the music of sheep and cow bells was soon exchanged for what can be better imagined than described. - '.J * ‘‘Old YVhitey,” tlie veteran war-horse of tho hero of Buena Vista. formed an pfi’ective and affecting part of tlie procession at YVasliington, on the occasion ot what tho Journal of Commerce calls “ the funeral obsequies,” on Saturday. The editor says that “the associations connected with him crowded upon every one’s mind. The old charger, us he pawed the ground, and neighed at the sound ot the bugle, seemed proud* |y and impatiently to look around for his rider, and once more to bear him on the field.” The Galphin Money.—it is asserted in the,Phils' delphia North American thata letter will be addressed to the House of Representatives by Secretary Craw- ford, probably to day, offering to depositthe money re ceived on the Galphin claim, and leave the decision of his rights to rest upon such construction of the act of Congress as shall bo put upon it by the Supreme Court. 1 he YVasiiington Monument is now over sixty- four feet in height. Nearly lour courses have been added siuce the resumption of the work on the open ing of spring. The receipts for the month ol June amount to $3,300.

Correspondence of tho Daily Morning Nows, New Y ork, July 15, 1850. Saturday, iuNew-York, was one of the strangest, most solemn, half-Sabbath, half-work day days I ever wit nessed. True, the stores were closed, with the ex ception of a few, and they were partially so: the can nons fired, and the bells tolled—fronts of houses were draped with black muslin, and the Hags, shrouded with crape, floated ut half-mast—bift the cabs aud om nibusses rattled over the pavement—clean shirts, clean chins, and Sunday-go-to-meetlng clothes were absent, and, ns 1 have said, rendered the appearance of the cily, after 12 o'clock, a curious and ituloscribn- blo affair. 1 must say, however, tlmt never in my recollection, have the internal marks of sorrow been so g ’nerally manifested as on this occasion ; but the grand and imposing spectacle is reserved for the 23d, when such a procession will Dike place here as will far eclipse any other demonstration made in New Y'ork. I feel that it will be so, for every one you speak to on the subject says so; and whe'e a com munity is unanimous and determined to make it so, what to to prevent it 1 The military will be out in full force; societies of every kind will unite, for tlie feeling is that too much respect cannot be paid to the memory of a good citizen—a distinguished patriot, and a hero. I remark to day that in several houses, the white or colored curtains have been replaced with black, aud a large number of persons wear crape on their lett arm. It approaches nearer to general mourning than I have yet seen in this country, and)' reminds me very much of the sombreness that marks every body in England when royalty departs to the shades. There you Bee nothing but black. Every body, no matter what their circumstances, must wear a bit oi black, il it is only a bit of ribbon, I con fess that I tun gratified to see such demonstrations, for it speaks well for the people, and their rulers, and the institutions under which they all live. A great practical refotm is now in operation in this city—tho regeneration of that vile sink of iniquity, the Five Points. The beasts wlto provided acSbm- mudations for tlie vile outcasts iiave been arrested and sent to prison,—the houses cleaned out and cleansed, and poor but decent people put into them. The change is already remarkable. YY'hcre formerly blasphemy, drunkenness, filth and wantonness pre vailed, order and decency are now established, and prayers and praises were heard yesterday, in many places, which, a few weeks since, presented scenes of tlie most heart-sickening character. This chumre has been effected through the instrumentality of some missionaries, who feel that there is no lack of subjects for sympathy at home, instead ot seeking for them only in the benighted regions abroad. Tlie Police have aided them in the good work, and so si lently is tlie design carried out, thut the public gener ally know nothing about it. Three steamers left here ou Saturday afternoon- tile City of Glasgow, Philadelphia and Georgia. They took nearly five hundred passengers between them: of whom over three hundred were for California. Mr. Fillmore’s son, a young man about 20, has been sent for to YVashington, it is said, and will be his fath er’s private secretary. Miss Fillmore is a beautiful girl of about 18 years, and of course her star is in the ascendant. She is now a teacher in one of the pub lic schools of this State, YY r e had an extraordinary importation of emigrants on Saturday last. In eight vessels from Liverpool, three from Bremen, mid three from Antwerp, were no less than 3680. There to little or no sickness among them. The city continues in a good state of health.
