ID In New York city on Saturday night OH :
Ger Lewis Campbell took man named Moo maid
In custody for suspicious and disorderly conduct
and shortly afterwards he felt what he consid- :
cred scratching at his knuckles; presently he
felt something like water in his hand, and dis
covered that his hand lad been cut in some half
dozen places by sharp instrument. At the same
time the prisoner was sticking the officer in va
rious places about the body, but sharp was
the knife that he did not feel the effects Of the
stabs. On discovering his wounds he beat Nc
Quad, who was trying to get away, with his
rattle until it was broken, and then used his bill
ly, until he sunk to the ground from the loss of
blood. McQuaid then made bis escape. The
officer was picked up shortly by fellow officer
and conveyed to the Station House, where an ex-
animation of his person was made. His throat
was cut in the right side until the windpipe was
exposed, and his hand wounded in such a man.
that his fingers had to be supported by a
board. The wounds of Mr. Campbell are Of
such nature that death will probably ensue.
McQuaid, who was known to the officers, was
arrested short time afterwards at his residence,
while in bed.

Late from Mexico,

By the latest accounts from the city Of Mexico
(being to the 5th inst we learn that the political
guarantees OF the new Constitution OF that Re.
public have been suspended, and that President
Comonfort Is again clothed with dictatorial
powers, but on what precise terms, and for what
length Of time, was not known at the date men
toned. The fist vote, which was taken on the
Both In secret session, was on the general propo-
siton, and stood - to 81. The terms OF the die
tatorship were to come up for cons liberation the
next day, the 3lst, when an attempt was made to
have the discussion public, but this was voted
down. 1t was not known, therefore, whether
the demands of the Executive were granted in
whole or in part, though from a dispatch re-
had been settled.
A "pronunciamentoH broke out at q ueretaro on
the ID inst, and desperate fire continued for
eleven hours. Finally the Government troops
were overpowered, and the city taken by the rev.
Olutonsts.
The latest express from the South brought the
startling intelligence that the Government forces
which so recently entered Cuernavaca in triumph
had been completely routed near that place. and
the revoutionists left in complete possession

The Union congratulates the country on the

III. final aston of the Convention to form
State Constitution for Kansas Territory, say
ing:
awe lay before our readers this morning the
schedule of the new constitution prepared by the
convention NJ Lecompton. The schedule is that
part Of the constitution which provides for the
transition from the system which now IL to that
which is to be, and prescribes in what manner
81 shall become binding as the fundamental law
OF the land. I'm the dispatches received day or
two since, this temporary machinery. with which
all new constitutions must be preceded, is called
PROVISIONAL government, and some M fvous per-
sons perhaps were alarmed at the revolutionary
sound OF the words. il Is the mere scaffolding
TO be used by the people while they are putting
up the permanent fabric of their rights, and then
IL will be used no more. In the meantime all
the territorial laws remain in full force until the
constitution takes their place, except in so far as
this schedule is used for carrying on the cleo
ton
This schedule submits the constitution To the
white inhabitants of Kansas Acknowledges the
people of the new State to be the only tribunal
that can rightfully determine what its domestic
institutions shall be; and gives full, practical
and fair effect to the great principle OF popular
sovereignty. On the 21st day Of December next
the electors may meet at their proper places of
voting and express their opinions by ballot On
the Question of slavery or no slavery. If major
tty shall vote In favor of slavery then the proyIs
Ion which makes Kansas a slave State will re-
main in the constitution, and in that shape IL
will be laid before Congress. But if the greater
number OF ballots be cast the other way that
provision shall be stricken out and then every
negro in the State, or hereafter to 90 there shall

The fault Of the people themselves But we have
no right to doubt that the election will be fairly
conducted, or that the defeated party, whichever

We are without space to-day, in which to
publish synopsis of the leading features of
the constitution to be submitted to the votes
of the people on the 2Ist of December proximo
Tomorrow we will spread it before the Stars

The Intslkfg eneer comments on and deplores
the escape Of the fllibuster, Walker, and calls

THk REPORTED MASSACRE OF ENGLISH AND
AMERICANS AT NINGPo-How THE MISTAKE
ORIGINATED.-We find the following somewhat
startling paragraph in our California exchanges,
received by the st. Louis:
The Alexander left Manila on the 10th Au-
gust, few days prior to which date a brig had
arrive q, after a five days passage, from Annoy A
private letter by her was received from Manila
giving an account of the horrible massacre by
the Chinese, Of all the American and English
residents OF Ningpo. one of the five open ports
lying between Annoy and Shanghae. Our infor-
mant could furnish us with no further details
but assured us that the news is beyond all oues-
ton reliable. The number of Americans and
English at that port was estimated at forty, all
OF whom the Captain believes to have been muir
dered y
This Is altogether incorrect and without foun-
dation. The mistake probably arose from the
fact that in the month Of June last, naval battle
was fought off Ningpo between the Cantonese
and Portuguese pirates, and that the latter were
driven ashore and indiscriminately massacred
