THIRSTY BABIEs.--In late number of tho
Electric Medical Journal, the editor remarks
that young babies often cry from actual thirst.
Their natural supply is intended as food, not
as drink, and makes thom thirsty without
really quenching their thirst, as cool liquid
would. They cry, he thinks, for cold water.
A grim old bachelor thinks babies should
have water, abundance of 1t; and that they
ought to be put under it, and kept there for
q long time. This remedy he believes will be
officacious in curing all baby ills.

BIOGRAPHY OF IRvING.--The Providence, (R.

Green as proper person to write biography
of Washington Irving. ole has most deli
cate, and sympathetic, and hearty appreciation
Of Irvng's works, and rich and graceful
style, peculiarly fitted to such theme, and,
indeed, not wholly unlike that of Irving him
self. His review Of the life of Washington,
we have been told, was pronounced by Irving
as the most satisfactory of any which ap-
peared."

PRICE ONE CENT.
The Impossibiiity of War Between
England and America.

Aoho aho HMNAASos
The London Times Of the 10th ult., received
by the steamer Europa, has the following az
its leading editorial
War between England and America is i'm
impossible. Such is the sure conviction Of
every rational man in America, aud of every
body of age and station in England. Per-
haps it Is also tho conviction OF the wild ban
ditt who swarm upon our frontiers, and of
their unprincipled sympathizers, who habitu-
ally write up war in the newspapers, and spout
war speeches in the towns. War is impossible,
not only by reason of the strong sympathics
which bind US together, not only by reason Of
our common origin and our closely intertwined d
interests, but also by reason Of the terrific
character which every one knows that such a
contest must assume.
A war between England and America would
be almost q civil war-the most bitter, the
most relentless, and the most cruel of all wars.
1t could be produced only by evaporation on
both sides, arisen to the pitch of national
madness. AS it went on it would certainly be
marked by an Intensity of passion which
would, as has happened in all civil wars,
carry tbe combatants beyond the influence OF
the ordinary courtesies and mOderations of a
mere national contests. Notwithstanding any
stipulations that may have been made in calm
moments, tho commerce Of both countries
would be the prey of rovsrs and pirates upon
every sea; England's strength and England S
treasury would be wasted in distant exped-
tions to destroy these glorious and peaceful
achievements Of her own children, which are
now her pride; our factories would be closed,
and the million and half of mouths depen-
dent upon them would be without bread; put
ting forth in our anger all our strength, we
should be defenseless among our European
neighbors, and we should fall, at least for that
time, from our place as equal among the great.
est Of the great powers OF the world.
On the other side Of the Atlantic the spec
tacc would be one Of al least equal horror
the fair cities of the Atlantic in flames, their
commerce gone, and their somewhat inflated
system of commercial credit rent; the swift
strides Of that genius Of improvement, which
wanders so restie'sly up and down, arrested;
population destroyed; ruthless war between
slaves and masters raging through half tho
land; bloodshed on tho seas and bloodshed on
tho land, and nothing growing but fierce and
unnatural hatreds. Europe and Asia would
look on with surprise and exultation, watching
the paroxysms of frenzy among that terrible
Apglo.Saxon race which had seemed 10 mo
nopolize the Almigbty's permission to 60
forth and people the earth; wondering to sec
that vast family, whose expansion they had
envied, whose industrial energy they had
found it vain to emulate, whose free thoughts,
waited over the world, were ever sowing
themselves in uncongenial soils, now engaged
in the mad enterprise of destroying their COM
mon property and shedding their own blood.

RICE TEST OF GunT.-Most readers have
heard Of the East Indian practice (native) of
compelling persons suspected Of crimes to
chew rice as an ordeal. The simple philoso-

Is really gully there is no secretion of saliva,
ari chewing is impossible. On the contrary,
consciousness Of innocence allows proper flow
of fluid for softening the rice. pr

invasion Of Mexico:
General Buckley (of Baltimore) spent some
time in my room last evening. His expedition
to Mexico now numhers nineteen housaad men,
and ne is provided with ample means. Ono
thousand men are in Tennessee, and these will
move first and move without delay. I predict
that the General will capture all Mexico
before Spring, and that he will have control
of Vera Cruz in ninety days. The Govern
ment will not throw any difficulties in the way
of this expedition, but will favor it, as it is
what the Administration wanted Walker to
undertake.

The English and Montgomery Affair
ENGLISH IN THE WRONG.
New York, Dec. 20.

New YORK, Dec. 20.
The Tribune's Washington correspon.
dent states that the account of the affray
between English and Montgomery, al
ready given, is unfair to the latter gentle
man, who makes the following state
ment
al have not spoken to English this
session, or taken any notice of him when
we met, as we have occasionally. The
reason is that he made a speech to the
crowd who screnaded him on the night oil
the passage of his bill, in which he said
he had associated with me and other an
ti-Lecompton Democrats, only to find
out our plans and defeat us. From that
time have looked upon him as tresch-
erous spy, and an unfit associate for gen.
tlemen. About noon to-day, was walk
ing down Pennsylvania avenue when
saw English coming toward me holding
out his hand, saying how do you do,
Mr.. Montgomery 2 made no answer,
but pressed on without any sign Of rec
ognition. l had walked a few steps
when l received very violent blow OH
the left side of my head, given with such
force as for a moment to stagger and con-
found me. l had not the least idea who
or what had struck me, but turning round
/ saw English with large cane, which
he held in both hands, and from the po-
sition in which he stood and the direction
of the blow, must have so held when he
struck me- He exclaimed, God damn
you, I'll teach you to insult me in that
way He stepped back quickly as he
spoke. brushed at him, and as / was about
to close with him, be drew a sword from
cane aud presented it at me. As had
no weapon of any kind, / stepped off the
sidewalk and picked up piece Of brick
which threw at him, hitting him on the
leg. He kept retreating. and before i
could find another missile, had got to
such distance that it was useless to pur-
sue him." az
Twopersons, William Couch and Dan
lei Cox, witnessed the affair, and confirm
Montgomery's statement in every partie-
ular.
Montgomery went Immediately to a
magistrate and made a charge of assault
against English, who has been hold to
bail. Montgomery face was badly bruis-
ed by the blow, which caused blood to
flow profnsely. He has kept his room
since, and is attended by a physician.
Had the cane struck an inch or two high
er, SO as to hit his temple instead of his
cheek, he would, most probably have been
killed.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-The statement
sent on Saturday in relation to the per-
sonal difficulty between English and
Montgomery, was derived from persons
protesting to have a knowledge of the
facts. but in the Intelligencer Of this morn.
ing three other persons give versions Of
the affair. placing English wholly in the
wrong. The entire matter is to be inves-
tigated before the Criminal Court
