Th Spaniard stubbed Mr. W. several times in the nbdomen whilst he (Mr. W.) was standing by the firo, csuiiig his dentil in a few hours. No provocation had been given, and the cniie of the bloody act was entirely inexplicable. The Span iard was taken and hung on tho pot. Vutatucs.

In New York tho Know Nothing voto as compared with that of -last year, has in. creased upwards of 21,000, and tho Hard voto about tho samo, while the Soft vote has fallen off more than 00,000. The whole Know Nothing State ticket, with the exception of ono Judge, has been elect ed by n plurality of over 12,000. Our Government has, determined not to becomo n party to tho Congress of Nations called at Copenhagen, by Denmark, to con- siuor tuo question of the Sound Dues. The statement that Denmark docs not proposa a Congress of Nations, but merely a confer ence of lialtic States, is clearly erroneous for the Circular received by the President from Denmark distinctly invited our par ticipation iu the proposed Congress.
