lIM Foreign News by the Canada, ONE WEEK LATER FROM• EUROPE British mail steamer Canada, Owl* William Harrison, arrived at her wharf in Boston at '7 o'clock I'. .M.,'July 4, having left Liverpool June 23, and made the passage in eleven.days. There had been-little changejitt the state of busi ness affairs during the week in England. The pro duce markets were moderately supplied, but there was not such an extensive demand; holders were firm and insisted upon full rates. Cotton contin ued in a healthy state, and full prices • ‘tire're jirtid; indeed, during_the last few days an advance of one • eighth of a penny per lb. had been obtained on some sorts. The coin markets wero firm, and more bps- iness doing. _ The time of parliament since last advice:: has been chiefly occupied in the discussion of the Canadian question, and the colonization of New Zealand. _ - - - Jp the lords on the 19th Lord Brougham moved resolutions condemnatory of the bill compensating the Canadian rebels. Lyndhurst, Campbell, Stan ley and others spoke on the question,. and the re solves were rejected, 99 for, 99 against. • The declaratory bill relating to O'Brien hits pass ed both branches of parliament. In the common' s , on the night of June 22, Lord Palmerston repligd to Mr. Roebuck that the govern ment had witnessed with deep regret the bombard ment of Rome by the French: England had front the outset deprecated armed interference with the Ito man states. InELAND.—The weather -has set in gloriously throughout all Ireland, and within these few days therepcirts of injury done to the potato plant -have been hushed, and tjhe darimged specimens, which have been hitherto Ito industriously:paraded in pub lic, appear to have, been produced by local and ac cidentel causes. All the accounts of the prdspects of the harvest represent the growing crop -as in a most flourishing condition, and a general course of low prices for agrieniturul produce is anticipated.— The foundation stone of a new Orange hull has been laid at Newry. - • The queen has subscribed £5OO for the relief of the Irish, end her example has been followed by others to the amount of 1:3000. Mears O'Doherty and Martin had been removed to spike Island for transportion. • • ITALr.—Up to this hour (June 23) we have no official account of the taking of Rome; and it would appear by the Italian papers received this day, that althilugh Garribafdi's corps had suffered dreadfully in its sorties, it had succeeded in deratiging the op erations of General Ouditiot so Much that he could not make e , general attack before the 16th or 17th. It is to be hoped that this:" really was , -she case, for on the 16th or 17th, the news of the failure of the con spiracy of the 13th in Paris would reach Rome, and . then probahl3; the triumvirs, seeing that there was no longer a chance of their obtaining any aid .fr o m Prance, would be disposed to Capitulate, and thus prevent an useless ellbsion of blood. It is general ly thought that the telegraph will to-morrow, if not this evening; bring news of the capitulation of Rome. ° The Patrie, of Wednesday night, mauls that a telegraphic despatch has been received by the gov ernment, confirming the news of the defeat of Ga ribaldi when he - made the sortie on the I;ith. Vtimai.—The.Risorgimento, of 'Perim of the 15th. quotes letters from Venice of the 6th, stating that- the siege and blockade are-carried on unremit tingly,-and that BrondolM Chicrgia, and Cavarzere are daile•boinharded. Minister Block had opened negotiations with the city, but to nu (-Ilea. Ills I offers were e --a general amnesty, the recognition of the public dZi . bt of Venice, the institution of the civ ic guard, a civil and not militdry government, the reintegration into the several offices of all those per sons who field public fenctiens before the 22,1 of °March, 18 /8, all the enyloyes to be -Italian, to the exclusion of Germans, the amount of a year of prae dial tax to be waived by the Austrian government. In return. for these conditions the Austrians were to occupy the town and forts. The Venuians have refused, fearing, with reason, that the Austrians, , once in possession, would keep none of those arti ,cles.: DaxatAnit.AND HohsTrmr.—llamburgh pnrcrs to the ]sth, contain no news of impurtanc. •Not even a skirmish appears to have happened between the belligerent parti:•.s at Predericia, Alsen, or Aarlinus; and reports given by a Danish paper of the appear- . ance of some Russian ships of war on the coast o f Puhnen seem to have been unfounded. It is stated in Berlin that' peace IA ith Denmark has been definitively concluded. The question of the succession is pro% isionally kept in abeyance, and The independence of Schleswig is recognised so far that the King of Denmark appoints from this duchy three governors, whom he shall select from among the six candidates proposed by the national repre sentatives of Schleswig. GERMANY.—The archduke John has entreated the government of Wurtemberg to put a stop to the proceedings of several persons, styling themselves the national assembly and „pro% isional regency of riermany, and to remove the said persons from the territories of Wurtemberg. Obedient to the regent's request, the ,king of Wurtemberg's government has requested the regency to quit theliingdom. It ap pears that the regency and the national assembly declihe to accept this advice, and it will be fouhd necessary to remove them by force: • On the other hand o the German national r is g er n. hly resolved, on the lgth that the archduke John is guilty of illegakusurpation in continuing to exer cise the functions conferred on him on the 13th July, 1818, but revoked on the 6th June last. It also resolved that neither the governments nor citi zens are bound or war-anted to pak him obedience. and that the regency ought to oppose, by all 'vas in its power, his usurpation. The assembly after wards adopted n bill nutho4ing a general arming of the people, and it referred to a committee on fi nance a demand by the regency for a credit of. 5,- 000,000 florins fur .the months of June .an•l July. The Prussian army on the other sue of the:Rhine has occupied one-half of the Bavarian palatinate al ready; without meeting with any resistance. On the night of the 12th inst., while the prince of.,Prussia was passing through Ingelheim, on his way to take command of the Prussian troops, shots' were fired from behind the hedges of a vineyard, rind the postilion of the 'carriage •which followed the prince's was severely wounded. The man that tired the shot that wounded the postilion has since been apprehended. The Proisiant and Hessians who attempted to i,nt rule the Baden republic have been defeated by the troops of the provisional government. Pnussra.—Accounts from Berlin of the 18th state that the preliminary inqiiiries into the charges against the politiCal prisoners had been concluded. The Courier de Berlin, a journal published in French, had been suspended by order of the president of po lice. The regency of Stuttgard had sent a despatch to General Prittwitz, the commander of the forces Schleswig, ordering him in future to receive no instructions from any authority but them. By the accounts from the Pfalz, the Prussian troops had advanced to Kaiserslautern, where they had fixed their headquarters. The provisional government had fled. 'AUSTRIA AND HUNOARY.—By the Vienna papers of the 13th we do not learn tßut any action of impor tance had occurred between the belligerent armi,u,; m the north of Hungary. In the south it appears that two actions have happened, and have both ter minated to the advantage of the imperialists. The Ilun.mrian general, Perezehrrout the fortress of Pe r towardein, made an attack on some "Austrian en trenchments, but was Ultimately repulsed, and driv en with loss Mto Peterwardein, though the Austri ans admit tha4their own troops sufrered'severely.— Theother'batOe was fought by the Ban Jellachich, and is asserted to have heen a brilliant victory; but the Austrian accounts are evidently nut trustworthy, at least i ns regards their own losses., The advises of the 16th from Vienna make men tion of a tremendous encounter with the Hungari ans. The Austrians and Russians are said to have been completely defeated, and to have left on the field the number of 23,000 killed. This battle took place on the 13th, 14th and 15th, in the large plain between Raab and Weiselburs. It lasted 64 hours. The loss of the Magyais is stated at 8000. The Austrians were commanded by Ilaynan, the Rus sians by Rudigcr, and the Hungarians by•Georgey. klthough the news of this battle has been . roceived iii private letters, enough no paper al hides to it. The Lloyd, of Vienna,.contalns ttotthe most distant allusion to it. pother affair, which / must not bo confounded amp. tiolitioopil in letter- trmti Pr •q• 4. /Grfw The followin passage is of great importance' to the present slat of the Hungarian question. The English governn ent does mit now endeavor to dis guise the fact that this war against Hungary is a conquest, and n,t, simply an expedition to put down a rebellion.-, It roteste that it will, by no means treat Hungary a- a conquered crown hind, but as a province, which by the resolutionof the 14th April, forfeited all hist rival rights, end lost all_ claims to 'greater privileg:s than those possessed by all the other Austrian .rovinces. Kossnth sent special messenger, informing the Austrians and ussians that for every Hungarian hung, an Austti.n General shall share the same fate. PoLA:ro - --The Augsburg Gazette of the 16th inst. states that it is informed that the 'greater part of the Russian wards suddenly halted op the 10th that on their march t 'the south; and it is even said that a Party of the guards, who had reached the environ.h of Kowno,, had returned by forced marches to St. 1 Petersburg. The Poles assert that the cause or 1 this countermarkh is, that a conspiracy had heel discovered at St Petersburg and Moscow. t i Letters from tie south of Russia state that a se ; j vere famine Is prevailing there, and that many of the inhabitants are dying of starvation and scurvy. j The Emperor ha • been obliged to forgo his late con scription of sold% qs from this part of the kingdum. FaAnn.—This country has again subsided into apparent trangulity. -We in our last number an noune2d the gettprat'overthruw of tip, attempts of the red republica ns to, bring about a revolution in Park, and the sa me success had attended the gov- I ernment in Ly+s, Bordeaux, Nantes, Toulouse, 'Rheims, and oth r towns; but at Lyons the sup !' presbion of the i istirrection has been attended with ~ a vast effusion o blood on both sides.

The president, his in nisters, and the majority of the leg islative assemblj., were to be placed hors la !oh, bud a list of proscriptions was prepared. War was to be declared.agailist Russia and Austria; the. Bank of France was t he suppressed; and general plun der and confiscations were to be the tinier of the (tar. Serj!ant Boichot was to be minister of War, and Serjeant Rattier commander-in-chief, 6z.c.; in short all the rerdlntionary party were to be raised to the surface.. The whole of these schemes are de; molished, and the principal conspirators, with the exception of hei ru Rollin and Baichot, are in cus: tody, and will be immediately brought to trial, tin der the anthoris lion of the assembly. A state of 1. siege has been thclared; all the revolutionary jour nals have been r gorously suppressed; the dabs and all political woe ings are interdicted by a law of the' assembly for the space of one year; and the govern ment seems any red to exercise sufficient energy to suppress any future attempt to disturb the public peace. .

Svme - roms Disumox.—The .fern Orleans La Pubis publishes rather a curious document in the shape or a dtielaration of Independence by the people of the Nortlitirn States of the Sierra Madre.' It ap pears in a Matamoris paper of' the 18th, entitled El Then Public°, the editor of which translates it from the English, and says that he has good reasons for behev mg that it was printed on the other side of the river. This manifesto opens 'in the very worth of our own Declaration of Independence, awl then pro ceeds to recite the grievances which the people of the Northern giatesof Mexico have antlered from the government—These are: Ist.

NEW I.7linS OF GRANITE. --Those who hint taunt ell New England with producing nothing but gran ite may change their tune. A Mr. McDonald, in Scot land, has discovered a method of calcining granite to a fine clay of extraordinary strength for pottery, especially fur making water.pipes, some of which are as large as 18 inches bore, And a discovery has been made in Ireland that the granite on an ex tent of 10 miles in Wexforthcontains en largo a pro-, portion of potash that the alkali can be extracted by a chemical process, so as to be come an article of com merce. It is estimated that . :there are 2,009 tons of potash, the produce of America, consumed annually in England and Scotland, the present cost of which is .C.lO per ton; and that, by working the granite of Dulkey, which extends inland to Pandyford, the same quantity cuulbe extracted by means of $lO,OOO, and cold at X. 0 per ton. yielding a revenue of £4O,- 000, to remu rate the capitalists -and diffuse the blessings - of employment among the people, arid not only render its impossible for the Americans to com pete with the Irish. but really push an Irish trade in potash into the American contineui.—Duelin Even ing Post.

JOHN A, GAMBLE, OF Lycohinco COUNTY. ll ..MOCRATIC STATE CONVENTION=ITS CANDIDATE AND RESOLUTIONS Wo had only room last week, and that after our paper went to press, to announce that the deliberations of the Democratic State Convention which assembled at Pitts burgh ou the dth, resulted in the nomination of JOHN A. GAMBLE, Esq., of Lycoming, for Canal Commis sioner. NVe said in that brief announcement that mintier selection eoubl not hare been made! We repeat it Mr. Gamble is as Well qualified for the duties of Canal Com missioner as any man in the state. Aside from an inti mate knowledge of bur public works generally, ho comes up to the true Jeffersonian standard—be is a good Dm:l our, and both honest and capable. That ho will be ele••ted by a triumphant majority over whoever the whigs may pot on the course against him, there can be no doubt. Mr. Power, the present . whig member} of the board, who he is destineA to supercede, plainly sees this, said ha;, in Consequence), wisely declined a re-nomina-, ;lion from his party. Ile sees. and tho whigs see, the hand-writin g on the wall. The Taylor “swindle" has exploded, and the Democracy of the Keystone, purified by adversity, and united by the shameful proscription of a national Administrationithat canto hi pledged to pro scribe no man for opinion sake, are determined to take the first step this fall to redeem their ancient common wealth from the thraldom of whig misrule: Besides, it is meet that men who appoint the Penroses and Fitz Warrens of whigery to otticesof trust, shouted receive a rebuke at' the hands of a state that contributed so much to their own CIOVM.IOII, us Pennsylvania: This the elec tion of such a man as inns A. GAMBLE will accomplish —and this, the Keystone Democracy, are determined to do. The entire proceedings of the convention show that, although there were other gentlemen, who are good and true Democrats, named for the same station, nod sup ported with warmth and ability, union and harnasay pre vailed throughout, and when the - IMmination was an tuauttbed, a unanimous determination expressed to give it a cordial support. Such feelings in the convention will ho responded too by the masses, and Pentislvania mill be redeemed! The resolutions of the Convention mer it our entire ap probation, and will, we aro confident, receive the hearty endorsement of the whole party. That Pittsburgh Pest well remarks that "they present a platform upon which every true and honef.t Democrat can tally. There is not a squinting towards Conservatism about them. They Me radical and right in sentiment, keeping pace with lbw progressive spirit of the ago in which we, live." The first, alluding to Me great struggle now going-on between Republic • ism and Monarchy in the tld world, is a hap pily expressed utterance of the pulse of the whole party, unconfined by state limits or resgieted by imaginary lines, ft is the heartfelt prayer of every Democrat, whether among the mountains of Pennsylvania or on the tented field of II u ngary or in the imperial city of Rome. Tho resolutions relative to MOT, shinplasters, and other similar inventions of modern Ivhigery to deprive honest toil of its just reward, and thijs concentrate in the hands of a few, the propel ty and wealth which should be diversified among tile many, are practically and 'theore ticaly democratic. and cannot fail to meet the approba tion of all who believe that laws ought to be framed for the benefit of all instead of the selfish and grasping few. They are the sentiments of the masses under whatever name they May array themseles politically, and the day is not far dist•utt when shinpla r sters and Banks will he things Ora have been, but or t. not; and the people will W under that they ever tolerated them, much less deemed them either necessary or convenient. It is scarcely necessary for ait to endorse the resolu tion relative to the Ten flour law. A laborer ourself— brought up to depend upon out own hands for support— all our sympathies aro now, and ever have been, with those who aro the real bone and sinew of the country— the working men! With tho poet we think that Myriteis of own Wlne trielied into brave Fur Mose, coin...us—in !mon. r rustied In chy, That Tiiebes might 4axi.ie lief 111011. In ell And we are forced to believe by the conduct of certain modern politicians that there are those among 110 now who would melt fellow•uten—fashioned like thesn 'selves in God's own image—into brass, or "crush them into cla)" that (key might "dazzle tlero' their short-lived doh•" in luxury Ilia ease! Besides, our ll..nnocracy teaches us that, although a men may he born in a hovel, he is none the lons a man, and should not' be forced to become a living machine,in the hands of manufacturers, without time for recreation, amusement, or mental cul ture! The perpetuity of our free int- litutions, which de pend upon the intelligence of the people, forbid such an idea The election of Judges 11y the people, as well as all other public servants, is another measure on which the Democracy, in these resolutions, takes a buld, manly and decisive stand. This proves to us that political re form is not behind the ego in the Kesetono state. We go fur the election of Judges by the people, and are grati fied to know that the measure is every where and among alt classes gaining popularity. We well recollect, al though not 3 voter at the lime, that when our present constitution tvlivilmtitteri to the people, there were Allege #inong- us—then and now lenders of the whip party —whiff opposed it, because Justice., Prothenotors, were Made elective officers—because the people, from whom all {lower is derived, were allowed to chose certain of their own servants: and although it does not speak well fpr their honesty in claiming, or ullowiii their par ty organ to claim for them, exclusive friondSbip for such reforms, it does speak well for the progressive spirit of the ego that they aro now found arrayed on the aide of tins measure. It demonstrates too the . fact that, however much man may surround himself with, prejudice, or bind down with party'nes that i mite sense: of justice and right which God has .implanted in the breastof all of His erennires, truth will sooner or later find a lodgement there, and severall such arbitrary and ;lavish bands. Sg.'hile we de now, and have always, deemed the agi tation of the slavery question impolitic and unnesessnry•— caleulated to mar Mike the harmony and good feeling which ought to exist between the North and the Sout h, as well as prove injurious to the slave himself—we see nothing in the resolution relative to the further extension of slavery that we cannot heartily approve. The demo cracy in the last canvass did not contend for a further extension- of slavery—they did not wish or ever expect to see Califotnia and New Mexico become slave states— but as they were already free, they claimed that so they must remain, and that any action Congress might take would only load to useless agitation without producing any beneficial result. That such was the wise Policy there can be no doubt—hut deMagogues, fanatics, rind disappointed aspirants, each found in it material to sub sertro their own ends, and consequently we were defeated, and Gen. Taylor. the owner of three hundred human beings, became the Chief Magistrate of the nation. If thole is any satisfactien in centomplating such a consum mation of their efforts. lot them look upon it—view .it in every• light--end then tell us if "Taylotism pays expen ses." If it has not, hero is a platform we can all unite upon. With this resolution wo are willing to stand or f The resolution expressing the disapprobation of tho convention of the barbarous practice of flogging in the Navy, cannot but elicit the approbation of every reformer and philanthropist in tho country. Such a law,. so de grading to our national character, should no longer dis grace our Statute Books. We are aware that its advo cates—for it leas advocates—base their objection to its repeal on grounds of expediency. Every barbarity. eurtrlinard by law, hex been defended upon the same grounds. Expellincy imprisoned dehtors—Expediency flogged prisoners in jail—.expedieney put manacles on the lunatic—but expediency is fast giving away to a more humane and philanthropic spirit.' Of tho Taritrreaolotion it is nee - 41°as' for us to spell Wo . stand now whore we have stood ever since the subject first claimed our attention—totally opposed tb! every spec i es of Tariff which aims to foster ono interest i at the expense of all others. This resolution, then, moots our views, uug places tho Democracy of the Koyston9 side by Side with the Democracy of the Union. "A Com6 , v or Ennous."—Wo do not often take no, lice of the blunders of our quiet old friend of thi3 Chron4 cle, but in his lust number ho plays such "a comedy of errors" in noticing the Democratic convention,at Pitt s L burgh, that we can do no loss than sot him 'right. 11e sets out by making E. 11.

Tho Committee appointed to report resolutions ex pressive of ‘he sentiments of the Democratic Convention, 'respectfully report the following:— Resolved, That, with strugglimr 'Freedom ever where, the sympathies of the Democratic party keep watchf u l company wheresoever-the people are lifting up their voi ces in a manly shout for independence, and we hero on the declaration day of our own, give them back for answer tho lull utterance of tho heart's best hope, that God's blessing will smile upon their perils, and give the:nlll all time to come a day like this. lltsolccil, That it is our duty to watch with n jealous eye, our own liberties—and to resist early and always, every encroachment upon the general right of the peo ple. We regard with seriouk_ularm, the power which corporate associations are dal tiling front tho many to the few, Rsu'Ted, That prodigal grants of special privileges, we will dispute. forever. No Hew Bank; nor, any re charter, without stringent individual liability; and every possible restraint the law can Is 3: on banking corpera e hold to be an imperative necessity el the tunes. There is no safety, and can be none, except in a firm and faithful adherence to the specie basis. Rcsarcd, That the interest and rights of labor it is but just to defend. The labor of the countr3 is the woalth of the country, and the impulse of her progress and pros perity. Re.solted, That the Tea Hour law, without proviso, amendment or appendage, to defeat, its operation, is a measure that commands our cordial and unchanging support. Rooked, That shinplasters., issued by municipal or other corporations, we denounce us false representatives of money, by which labor is defrauded of its: just reward. And all schemes of relief issues, being but printed con fessiods of insolvency. put upon the people as current equivalents for industry, we regard as worthy of signal condemnation. The Democratic party, if it is honest, confesses its poverty. but repudiates, rags. - Itwolced, That all power should .remain with and be wielded by the people, except, wlarolor concentration and convenience, it is necessary to confide the same to agents. We approve not only of an elective Judiciary, but of electing all public servants by the people—who ore fully competent themselves to do what they employ others to do. Rewired, That the Democratic Party adheres now is it over has done, to the constitution of the country. Its letter and spirit they will neither weaken nor destroy; and they re-declare that slavery is a domestic, local institu tion of the South, subject to state law alone and with which the general government has nothing to do. Wher ever the State law extends its jurisdiction the local insti tutions can continue to exist. Esteeming tt a flotation qf State rights - to carry it beyond State limits. We de ny the power of any citizen to extend the area of bon dage. beyond its present dominioh,--nor do wo consider it a part of the compromise of the constitution, that sla very should forever travel with the - advancing column of our territorial progress. ftesofred, That John A. Gamble is n genuine repre sentative of the democracy of Penns,lvania—simple in his habits, otrietly republican in all his feelings and prin ciples, honest and faithful is the discharge of Nil hi% du ties—possessing as ho does, in an eminent degree.a sound and correct judgement and a familiar acquaintance w i th the interest and capabilities of the State, we confidently present him to the people of this commonwealth i ta suitable person for the office of Canal Commissioner. On motion tho resolutions were taken tip and acted on seperatoly, and unnnimously adopted. The following resolution, offered by Mr. Youog, % ui adopted. Resoked, That this Convention deem it their duty e t this limo to express their disapprobation and detestatio n of the barbarous law now upon our National Statute Book, authorizing the flogging Of American Seamen on Ship board, viewing it as repugnant not only Inhumanity but to every principle of republicanism and ju s ti ce , The following resolution offered by Mr. Derr, wa s adopted: Resoled!, That the distinct and emphatic pledge and premise made before the last Governor's elections by tho party now in power to perfect, in this State, the Teo flour Factory- law, and the elpvation of the laboring class, has been sharnefullyryielated, for when ample op portunity presented iisoll during. the last session of the Legisfuture, they refused to repeal the obnoxious proviso attachecito the gill by the presentiChief Executive. Mr. Weren't ofi'ered the following resolution, which was adopted: Rewired, . That the practical workings of the present revenue laws, cicarly demonstrate their superiority over those which immediately pi-acceded them. Thus prim. ing that which was logical in argument, is Bound in pri n . ciplo, and practical in its effect; All systems which gave bounties to particular interests to the detriment of the great industrial classes of the Country—which seeks to aggrandize the few at tire expense of the many, are a clear xiolation of those principles of democracy which proclaims to all equality of rights. The following resolution, offered by Mr. Sawyer, wee unanimoualy adopted: Rcsolred, That the thanks of this Convention be ten• tiered to the President and I.)tlicers of this Convention for the faithful and ith:e Manner in which they hays du• charged their ditties, _ On motion of Mr. Cessna, the Convention adjourned sine die.
