PROBABLE WAR WITH MEXICO!
This brings us to the point of our paragraph.
The fast press being hard UP lately for stirring
event, set on foot lthe most improbable idea that
they could have hit on) story that STAIN had en-
tered into an alliance with MEXICO against the
United States, under the Protecorate of England.
Without stopping moment to consider the utter
absurly of this plot against the peace and digni-
ty of innocent Young America, all true believers
in telegraphc dispatches and Washington cores
pondence paid it the respect of repeating it and
wondering at it, looking grave and credulous for
half day, and then dismssing it in expectation
of some newer marvel. But the fast press had no
new think ready, and after telegraphing the
news of the alliance to the u'termost parts OF
the Union, made the most of the invention bya
series ofspeculations on the consequences imme-
date and remote, of the triple plot! And now,
having at last hunted t .e story fairly down. they
are not only abusing the story ITSELF but the Gov
eminent for not having contradcted it. II they
would properly weigh the probabilities Of such
reports before giving them publicity they might
save themselves much unnecessary trouble.

Late intelligence has been received at Houston
from the Rio 1rande, to the effect that the peaceful
ctiz of that Sc ction kept in state of con-
slant alarm by bands of Mexican and American
outlaws. Several parties ofNIexican robbers have
visited the settlements this side of the river and
murdered number of settlers. The Americans
have retaliated, and killed several exicans most
of whom were probably innocent. These outrages
are of daily occurrence.
The Houston Telegraph learns that an Aresian
well, which has been dug at Corpus Christi, for
Cal. H. L. Kinney by r. Cooper, throws up from
10 to 10 gallons of water minute, al the depth of
35S feet, and by increasing the size of the tubing
the quantity of water might be increased 10 forty
or fifty gallons.

The Riot at Now york.

We gave telegraphic dispatch on Friday morn
ing, announcing riot in New York, consequent
upon the discovery of some human remains in the
cellar OF Dr. Wheeler. The Tribune gives the fol-
lowing particulars:
On Wednesday evening, about six o'clock, a
terrible excitement was created in aud about the
drug store aud reside of DIR. Geo. w. Wheel
,er corner of Seventeenth street and First avenue,
i'll consequence of some children discovering some
portions of a human skeleton exposed in the cell
lar ofthe premises, where they were at play at the
time.
The discovery was soon widely circulated, and
in an Incredible short space of time highly excl
ted mob, numbering some three thousand strong,
collected about the premises, armed with CLUBS,
stones, axes, and other weapons and commenced
terrible assault upon the house, thus compelling
Mr.. Wheeler and his family To flee for their lives.
The mob then forced open the premises, Which
they completely Quilted. breaking and mutilating
every article OF goods and furniture that came in
their way. The drugs were scattered about the
premises, and scarcely bottle in the whole place
escaped their hands. Before the police could raj
ly the store and dwelling of Mr.. Wheeler had been
completely ransacked by the mob, who left no.
thing but the bare walls remaining. 1t app ars
that two medical students occupied apartments in
upper part of Mr.. Wheelee's house, and it is sup
posed they had been dissectlng body for scientific
purposes, and, in disposing of the remains, were
not sufficiently careful TO take proper care OF them,
hence The discovery as stated above. The students
in question who were in their rooms at the time
ofthe discovery, were obliged TO make hasty re-
treat in order to save their own heads.

IxrEMrERANcE.-There is a very beautiful and
instructive story on this point, the produce of
those Eastern lands where men are temperate both
by the influence of the skesi and Ialso by the in
fuence and character of their religion-fase and
mistaken as it otherwise is. lis told that GER
tain poor sinner was doomed TO commit one of
three great sins, and had his choice which he
would fall into. The first sin murder; the
second was not, but it was something very bad,
though we cannot now remember what il was;
and the third was to get drunk. The poor sinner,
leftto his own week, unassisted judgement, ven.
tured on getting drunk, as being in appearance,
free of the atrocious character of the two other
crimes offered to him, aud perhaps being TO his
taste not wholly abhorent. He made his selec-
ton, and got drunk, and then committed the 9TH
er two crimes as Accomplishments to the crime of
his choice.

FRoM WAsuINoroN.-The correspondent of the
N. Y. Courier, under date OF Monday evening,
telegranhed the following from Washington:
The decided conduct at w ashngton, with relet-
ence to the Fisheries, and the firm yet concatory
representations of Mr.. Marcy, have Produced
suspension of proceedings on the part of the
English, against the fishing vessels, in the disput-
ed waters. There is now clear prospect of a
speedy and satisfactory adjustment.
Lieut.. Governor Leake's declination Of the
commission to the Sandwich Islands, was received
on Saturday.
The Secretary of State believes that Mr.. Walker
will accept the Mission to China.
The involuntary secession of Dr. Prior (author
OF the famous article OH RUSSIA from the Union,
renders the accession of anoth assistant deSira-
BILE. There is no positive determination as yet
who Mr.. PIior's successor will be, but Mr.. Nichol
son, ca editor of the Nashville Union, is thought
OF. he is a warm personal friend aud confident of
the President Mr.. Armstrong, and Gen. CaSs
Quite sensation has been caused by the rumor
that Beverly Tucker has been 10 New Hampshire
TO get edmund Burke to edit new democratic
opposition organ.
The N. Y. Express says:
e learn that Gen. Pierce, who was frightened
off from putting Gen. Dix into the Cabinet, has
now been frightened off from giving him the Mission
to France, by the clamor of the Southern Democ
racy, and the Northern Hunkers.
Mr.. Burkes course in New Hampshire is
soulce of much apprehension to the President.
letter TO the Journal of Commerce says:
1t is now understood that Mr.. Robert J Walker
will accept the appointment as Minister to China.
That is an appointment fit 10 be make. Mr..
Walker will do what he can to extend the area of
free trade.
The end of the month is looked to with appre
hensicn by some hundreds of Wing clerks, or
rather clerks appointed under Wing administra-
ticn. 1t is somewhat remarkable that at time
when party spirit has little or no cxertion any
where in the country, the system OF party pro-
Scription should be carried on in more searching
and thorough manner than at any previous time.
The reason is apparent, however. The outside
pressure upon the administration for Offices, even
the smallest, is greater than it ever was before.
