ARRITAli Of THB CALEDONIA. ONS WEEJu LATER FROM Bt'ROPE. I RUMORED REVOLUTION IN PARIS. The steamship Caledonia arrived t New York on Sunday,' the 9th inst., tbontli o' clock. She bring news from Europe to the S4th ult. If we except the news In the Post script from Franco, the Intelligence ia not very interesting. We condense the whole ' from the Sunday Herald. Paris ia still agitated. The resignation of Louis Napoleon post pones trouble for the present Six candidates for President are already in ' the field, viz: M. de Lamartine, Thiers, Prince Louis Bonaparte, M. Marrast, Gen. Cavaignae, and M. Caussidiere, ex-prefect of police. The Orleans party will support M. Thiers, and Berryer has declared hi his favor. The legitimists are divided between Thiers anp Lamartine. If the elections were soon to take place, little doubt exists that Louis Bonaparte would be the successful candidate. Ths feeling ex hibited by the French people in his favor, leaves no doubt that in the event of a Presi dential election, he "would be returned in almost every electoral college in France. Ac cordingly, the constitution has already been altered to meet this first difficulty in its work, ing ; and the President, instead of being elect ed directly by the people, unless he has an absolute majority of votes given, is to be se lected by the National Assembly from five persons returned by the people. A new pretender is spoken of in the person of the Princo .of Leurhtctiberg, the son of Prince Eugene, and a relation of tho Emperor of Russia. : The war in Denmark continues unnbatcd. At Prngne, the King having refused to con firm the provisional government, and Prince Windschgralz having erected batteries round the town, the mob flint the students rose en masse and demanded arm. A collision having ensued between the Burgher Guard and the popubce, some assas sin seized the opportunity to indulge his pri vate malice by firing a riiie at the Princess Windschgrat who was shot in the head. The victim was the daughter of the celebra ted Prince Schwartzcnbourg. One of the Princess's sons was also mortally wounded. In these exciting circumstances, Prince Windschgratz, with great calmness and dig nity, entreated the mob to disperse, but to no effect. They endeavored to hang him up to a lamp by a rope, which they procured, when he was rescued by his grenadiers. At five . o'clock, the people not having taken down the barricades as he had required, he ordered heavy guns to be brought into play, and he continued firing until 10 o'clock at night. The conflict lasted, almost without intermis sion, during the next day, and by the latest accounts, we hear that Prague was a heap of ruins. In consequence of this bombardment, Prince Windschgratz had retreated from the city with tho garrison, and occupied the heights commanding the town. At Rome, the decree tor the separation of the spiritual and temporal power of the Pope. is in progress through the Cliambers, and has given great satisfaction. In Spain, bauds of Carlists still invest Arm gon. In Portugal, affairs are quiet. The Paris journals of Wednesday, state the clubs are openly concerting means to dismiss the Executive Government. Princo Louis Napoleon Bonaparte is expected to be elected commander of the Third Legion of National Guards, and Prince Napoleon, son of the Ex-King of Westphalia, was a candidate for the command of the Second Legion. The workmen of the Ateliers Nationaux, still amounting to one hundred and ten thou sand, are creating infinite alarm ; aud the in crease of the taxes on the articles of tho first necessity to the poorer classes in Paris was pregnant with mischief; but it is in the pro vinces where the greatest danger is brewing. From north to south increasing . discontent prevails. In the north, at Amiens, there seems a determination to march on Paris and put an end to the tyranny of the capital ; whilst in the South, four departments have already organized, and drilled seventy-two thousand men for that purpose. Groups of persons, in Paris assemble every evening, and shout Vive VEmpereur. It is reported that an English vessel has been de tected ofT tho coast, lauding muskets in La Vendee. About 3000 of these arms liave, it is said, been seized. Since the departure of tho Cambria, last Saturday, I have to report a continuance of most favorable weather last night, however, at 9 o'clock, a change took plaee, and a deal of rain fell. Several vessels came into tho Mersey on Thursday, the names oY which I shall furnish. The accounts of the crops continue to be most satisfactory J as regards potatoes, they cer tainty vary. About the momerl of the "Cumbria's de parture a dreadful oeciinonoe was takin? place at th) Zoo'ogicat Gardens. As one of the keepers was engaged in his usual office of cleaning out tho den of the elephant ,:Rajah," ho struck tho animal a blow wiih the broom to niako him move. The animal took no notice, aed the blow 4was repeated with severity, which so infuriated Rajah that he forced lha keeper with his tusks against the timbers which form the den, hurting him o severely, that as the elephant retired, he fell back o'i the ground. The elephant had not done with him, but again approached, and placing his great foot, which measures four feet round it, upon his body crushed him to death. The proprietor, who was in the gardens at the time, determined upon having the animal destroyed, and upon representing the case at the barracks, obtained the servi ce of thirty-six riflemen, and to prepare for the worst, for it was alleged that the elephant was mad; two field pieces, also, two captains accompanying the men. A dose of two oun ees of prussio aeid wa administered to the animal, which scarcely produced any effect at least he soon overcame it. Twelvo of the soldiers then fired, but without effect ; nJ upon twelve additional shots being dis charged one out y effecl jt enterej . der the fore-houlder the animal reeled and fell dead. Van Amburgh, who was present at the execution, said that only that one ball took. Rajah was a noble animal the lar gest elephant in the kingdom, ' and oost the pioprietor of the gardens 600, eleven years ago. He was 39 years old, was ten feet high, and weighed nearly four Ions ! This was the second keeper he killed ; it was, neverthe less, a pity to destroy so rare an animal. According to accounts received from Mos cow, the cholera is making dreadful progress. The number of cases on the ' 29th of May alone, were 89 the number of deaths being 42. ' During the 6 previous, days, 464 persons were attacked, of whom 205 died. HIGHLY IMPORTANT. LATEST NEWS.

Shunk, had not deci ded to resign until on Sunday morning, when from excessive bleeding of tho lungs, he felt lhat "the end of earth" to htm, was fast ap proaching. The Harrisburg Keystone says : "The painful illness by which Gov. Shukr has been prostrated diiriii" several mnni. h. occasioned much anxiety throughout the commonwealth, aud been a subject of the deepest solicitude with the entire communi ty at nairisDurg. Hopes have been enter tained of his recovery until within the last few days, (liirini: which svmntoms wer i. i lested lhat leave no room la evneet hi. re storation. About one o'clock on Sunday morn ing, hemorrhage of the lun-rs reduced very much his remaining strength, and made the fatal termination of his sufferings an event not likely to happen at any hour. It was this we believe which induced his resignation. No one has urged him to take this step it was his own act it was done under solemn con victions of his duty to the public, upon feel ing that hissojouru upon earth was about to close, and that his health and strength were unequal to the further discharge of his official duties.

E7" Congress is now near the close of the session, and yet the members have commen ced discussing tho Presidential question, leaving much business, that must necessarily be pissed over in consequence of the waste of time consumed in discussing matters that belong properly to the people. Mr. Niles, of the Senate a few days siuce remarked, that the Senate Chamber had in fact resolved it self into a Ratification meeting te discuss the merits of the nominees for President. Paying members of Congress and Senators eight dol lars per dayj to discuss the qualifications of candidates, most generally with a view of ad vancing their own interests, is not what the constitution or the people contemplated. EThe greater portion of the survivors of both Pennsylvania Regiments arrived at Pitts burg, where they are to be paid and dischar ged. Those from this purl of the Stale may therefore be expected before the close of the week. A hearty reception awaits them everywhere. - SUNBURY AMERICAN AND SHAMOKIN GOT. S HUNK'S RESIGNATION AND THE ELECTION OF HIS SVC EMAOR. We observe that the question is agitated in Philadelphia as well as here, whether an election can be held for Governor at the next election'. The constitution provides that the election shall be held "unless such death re signation or removal shall occur within three calander months immediately preceding such next annual election." The election law en acted under the constitution provides that the writ for the election shall issue at least three months previous to the election. Now the resignation of Gov. Shunk took place three months and one day previous to the election, in which case the constitution requires his successor to be chosen at the next annual election. No act of the legislature can aHer the constitution, which is the fundamental law of the state. The requirements of the election law in this case cannot be complied with. They are inensistent with the provisions of the constitution. Supposing the Governor had suddenly and unexpectedly died on the day he resigned, and that intelligence of the fact could not be transmitted to Mr. Johnston the speaker, for a week, would any lawyer contend that an act of assembly, requiriug an impossibility, should nullify the provisions of the constitution. Since the above was written we have re ceived the Philadelphia Daily News, from which we make the following extracts. Mr. Sanderson, the principal editor, is a lawyer, and a whig of the high pressure order, and occupied a seat in the Senate with Mr. John ston last winter: "Doubts have been raised, by some of our contemporaries, whether an election for Go vernor can be held next fall. The Constitution of Pennsylvania Art. 11. Sect. xiv. provides ''In ease of the death or resignation of the Governor, or hi. removal from office, the Speaker of the Senate shall ex erciiie the office of Governor untilanother Governor alrall be duty qualified ; but ill nieh cane another Governor .hall be chosen at the next annual election of Representatives, Mi les, such death, resignation or removal shall occur witnin three calendar months immediately preceding such next an nual election, in which case a Governor shall be chosen ut the second succeeding annual election of Representatives," The General Election Law of July 2, 1839, section XXXIV, in reference to tho part of the Constitution first quoted, provides: "In case any vacancy shall occur in the office of Gover nor of this Commonwealth, more than three calender months next preceediiig the second Tuesday in October, in any year, it shall be the duty of the Speaker of the Senate, or whoever shall be in the exercise of the office of Governor, to issue his writs to the sheriff, of the several counties, re. quiring them to give the. usual notice that an election to supply such vacancy will take place on the second Tuesday in October next thereafter ; and when such vacancy occur, within three calendar monUis before the second Tuesday in October, it sliall be the duty of tlie Speaker of the Senate, or wh'iever shall be in the exercise of the office of Gover nor, to issue his writs a. aforesaid, requiring notice of such election on the second Tuesday iu October next after the issuing of said writ, and in each ease anid writ shall issue at least three calendar month before the election." It is urged that inasmuch as the Governor resigned at so late a day as to preclude nil possibility of the information reaching Mr Johnston in time to comply with the net of Assembly, requiring the writs for an election to be issued three calendar months before tho second Tuesday in October next, that no elec tion can take place. We cannot concur in this opinion. We think it more thaii proba ble that the intelligence of the resignation of Gov. Shunk reached Mr. Johnston in due time to issue the writs required by tho act of Assembly. It is but fair to presume lhat upon the resignation of the Governor being filed, the Socretary of the Commonwealth took immediate steps to apprize Mr. John ston of it. By telegraphing a despatch to Pittsburg on Sunday evening, (which we pre sume was done,) and sending an express im mediately from that place to Kittanning. Mr. Johnston might have been informed, before ten o'clock on Sunday night, of the step ta ken by the Governor. If he was thus appri zed of the fact, then there can be no doubt but that he promptly issued the writs requir ed to be issued by the act of Assembly. But, in our humble judgment, it matters not whether they were issued or not. The mandate of the Constitution would still have to be obeyed. The provisions of that instru ment are of paramount force and obligation to thnsoof the act of assembly, and the lat ter must therefore give way to the former. K7 On our last page will be found a lively sketch of John Van Buren, son of Ex-President Van Bnreiijwho has become somewhat fu mous ol late, as the leader of the Barnburners in New York. He is undoubtedly a young man of fine talents, and has the reputation of being one of the best stump speakers in America. His handsome person and prepos sessing appearance, made him highly popu lar among the fashionables, in England, a few years since. It is said that he will visit VVilkesbarre and other places in the state shortly, to address meetings in relation to the Presidency. Robert Tyler son of Ex-Presi dent Tyler will follow him and take the stump in favor of Cass and Butler. Air. Ty ler is art able and effective Bpeaker. We should like to see and hear both gentleman, and hope they will visit this place, or neigh borhood. Seven days later from Europe. BLOODY CONFLICT IN PARIS. The Steamship Niagara brings news of the most bloody conflicts in Paris, ever known. The loss of life is estimated from 8000 to 10,. 000. The fight commenced on Friday and the insurrection was not put down until Tues. day, when the Government, under Generals Cavaignae and Lamoricieres, after terrible slaughter on both sides, completely put down the insurrection. Six Deputies and fourteen general officers were among the killed. The venerable Archbishop of Paris on Sunday volunteered as a messenger of peace. At tended by two Vice, he advanced towards the barricades with an olive branch before him, when he was ruthlessly shot in the groin and shortly after expired. The insurgents were headed by Socialists and others, bent on pillage and plunder, and numbered," it is said, 100,000. The Nation al Guards numbered about 250,000. On Sa turday, the Assembly resigned the Supreme Power .into the hands of Cavaignaoy who da- clured Paris in a state of siege. Anew member is appointed with Gen. Cavaignae at the head. The Republic is probably now stronger than . jy E. W. Hotter Esq., chairman of the Democratic State Central Committee, notified the Committee to meet at the House of Henry Buehler, in Hsrrisburg, on Thursday last, on business of importance. The business, we presume, is, the calling of a Convention for the nomination of a Governor. The Conven tion we think should meet about the 20th of August. This would afford time to elect delegates, and sufficient time to canvass the election. ". . -. - E7 American Law Journal.

From tho Democratic Union Extra. RESIGNATION OF GOVERNOR MIUNK. Harrisburg, July 10, 1848. It becomes the painful duty to announce to tho people of Pensylvania, that by an inscru table Decree of Providence, our most excel lent Governor has been laid on bed of sick ness, from which there now seems to be no hope of restoration ; and with that magnani mity which has characterized all his acts, of his own free will and accord, without a single suggestion having been made to him by any of his constitutional advisers, he has resigned to the hands of the people the trust with which they luul clothed him, iu order that they may choose a successor at the election to take place on tho second Tuesday of Octo ber next. In all his public acts the good of the peo ple lias been nearest the heart of the Gover nor, aud this solemn duty in all human pro bability the last public act of his life exhi bits in its true light the character of Governor Shunk, whoso dying prayer seems to be that the will of the people of this Commonwealth may be carried. Our pen fails us to speak on this subject as we would desire ; we there fore close with presenting to the public the resignation of the Governor, witnessed by Henry Buehler, Esq., and the Rev. Dr. De Witt, Pastor ot the Presbyterian church of our borough. To the People of Pennsylvania : It having pleased Divine Providence to de prive me of the strength necessary te the further discharge of the duties of your Chief Magistrate, and to lay me on my bed of sick ness, from which 1 am admonished by my phisicians, and my own increasing debility, I may, in all human probability, never rise, I have resolved, upon mature reflection, under a conviction of duty, on this day, to restore to you, the trust with which your suffrages have clothed me, in order that you may avail yourselves of the provision of the Constitu tion, to choose a successor at the next Gener al election. 1 therefore, hereby, resign the office of Governor of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and direct this, my resignation to be filed in the office of tho Secretary of the Commonwealth. In taking leave of you, under circumstan ces so solemn, accept my gratitude for the confidence you have reposed in me. My prayer is, that peace, virtue, intelligence and religion, may pervade all your borders that the free institutions you have inherited from your ancestors, may remain unimpaired till the latest posterity that the same kind Pro vidence, which has already, so signally, bles sed you, may conduct you to a still higher state of individual ami social happiness And when the world shall close upon you, as I feel il is soon about to close upon me, that you may enjoy the consolations of the chris tian's faith, and be gathered, without a wan derer lost, into the fold of tho Great Shepherd above.

The standard of revolution has again been raised in that distracted country.'" Gen Paiedes having' succeeded in causing a defection of a portion of the Army, has taken possession of the city of Guanajuato. He is seconded by Padre Jarauta ; no other name of note has yet appeared in the ramifi cations of tho conspiracy. The Mexican Go vernment had forworded to the scene of in surrection all its disposable force under Gens. Bustamente, Yanez, Minon and Cortazar. On the 20th ult., despatches had been received from those officers, intimating that they had so disposed their forces as to compel Paredes to risk a battle, which 'would bo definite in its issue. But it is impossible to predicate on the heterogeneous composition of the Mexi can Army, and no one knows what sympathy exists between Paredes and the Generals op posed to him. The following is the Plan, or Manifesto, of Paredes, on raising the standard of revolution. riaal at Parede.. Mexicans ! The wprk commenced in iniquity and treason iu 1845, has just been consummated : more than half the Republio has been sold to the invading enemy, for a contemptible sum : the remainder of our ter ritory will be occupied by the same North American soldiers, converted into the guards of the traitor Pena, to sustain the most atro cious crime the world has ever beheld. The past recalls to mind Count Julian's betrayal of his country, through personal resentment ; but this horrid act bears no comparison with that of Pena: the former miscreant, blind with rage, brought the Moors into Spain, ex posing himself to personal danger : but the latter, to return to the luxuries and pleasures of the Capitol, and to keep himself iu power, sold his country, without tho smallest risk) after having disarmed the nation extinguish ed her public spirit, and persuaded her that insult is advantage opprobrium, honor and the humiliating state in which she lay pros trate at the feet of her enemy was a brilliant attitude and a fiatteringdistinction (prospect.) It is possible, Mexicans, that yon will tran quilly and uncomplainingly suffer thisaffront! Will you coolly look on and see your breth ren in California, New Mexico, and Chihua hua, sold to the foe ? These, your brethren, valient and true, who have constantly fought in the vanguard, to sustain the religion, the customs, and tho nationality of Mexico No t No ! a thousand times No ! ! Few in number are those, who subscribe this, but they are determined to perish in sustaining such precious interests. We invite you to follow our example, and take up arms against the traitorous Government, raising the banner of insurrection. We will call on Spain and other nations to sustain the independence of Mexico, and they will assist us. We now give out the same, proclaiming the following articles : 1st. The present Government i renounced aud disavowed, for having betrayed the na tion. 2d. The States, consequently, resume their sovereignty. 3d. The same shall consult on the means of replacing the deposed Government. 4th. The Governors of the States will de signate the person or persons who shall com mand the forces in each. 5th. The troops of tho standing army who give in their adhesion to the present plan will, conformably to usage, the orders of the General of the highest rank who may fol. low their example. Lagos, June 1, 1848. C. D. Jarauta, Com mandant ; Juan Ortiz, Colouel of Cavalry ; J. M. M. Negrete, Commandant of Squadron; a Lieutenant, three Ensigns of Cavalry, and a Captain of Infantry. Immediately after the news of the insur rection reached Qneretary, the promptest measures were adopted by the Government to crush it. Troops were forwarded toward Guanajuato, where the rebels had establish themselves and Herrera published nu ad dress to the nation : The Monster Snare. Excitement among the Showmen! The good ship Allen, Captain Williams, recently arrived at Salem, Mass.i from the coast of Africa, having on board a living monster serpent of the Constrictor spe cies, which verifies all the stories wlu'ch we have read of their crushing and swallowing a horse for a single meal. It is much larger than any before taken, its length being thirty feet. Of course the arrival ou our shores of such a monster set all of our showman into a wonderful fever. Van Ambuigh, and June and Titus, despatched au agent for Salem via New Haven one of the firm of Raymond & Waring proceeded by way of Worcester, and Barnum sent his major domo, Hitchcock, by the steamer Bay Mate. The Yankee nrn. prietor of the snake, seeing such an excite ment, and feeling that it will be difficult to run an opposition, has taken high ground and a telegraphio despatch to Van Amburgh K Co., announces that he will take no less than 1 1,000 for it, and in case of not finding a customer, be will turn '-showman" and ex hibit it himself. Their agent offered $7,000 lor it, but Mr. Hitcbcack immediately bid S500 more, and so the matter stands. Captain Williams positively avers that it took 126 negroes seven hours to secure this monster. They did it by means ol a' heavy rope, net made for the purpose, and thrown over him while coiled up.

It concludes as follows : . , 9. All deserters, enlisted for the period of the war, in confinement or under sentence of Courts Martial, will be dismissed the service the word "honorably" being erased from the face of the discharge. . .10. The President directs it to be announced in 'general orders" that deserters from the army at large may peaceably return to their homes without being subject to punishment or trial on account of such desertion. No re ward or expenses will be allowed for appre hending any soldier who deserted prior to this order ; nor will any deserter be allowed to enter the army. 11.

Army Regulations, page 213. The non-observance of the above regula tion (tolerated during the war with Mexico) is no longer permitted. It is enjoined upon all officers to observe and enforce the regula tion. By order of the Secretary of War. The Convicts at Bermuda. A correspon dent of the St. John Morning News furnishes the following, relative to the Island of Ber muda, where the Patriot Mitchell now is: "About 1000 soldiers are garrisoned nt three or four points on the island. There are usually about 1400 convicts incarcerated in four hulks thrree at the '-Dock Yard,' and the other, the "Thames," ou board of w hich Mitchell has been placed, nt "St. George's.' These men, about one-half transported from five to seven years, for the crime of poaching are subject to tho laborious employments, their usual occupation being building forts, drawing loads of stone like cart horses, under nn intensively burning sun, .with no vesligH of tree or shrub for protection : other gangs are employed at work for many hours in the water cleaning our channels iu diving bells, which soon puts a period to their miserable existence." General Taylor ordered to the Com mand of the Western Division U.S. Ar my.

Gen. Brooke Gen. Taylor will make his headquarters at Baton Rouge, or such other point as he may select, while Gen. Brooke's headquarters will continue, as at present, at New Orleans. The Cholera in Russia According tone count received from Moscow, the cholera is making dreadful progress. The number of cases on the 29th of May alone wereS9; the number of deaths being 42. During the six previous days, 464 persons were atlaeked, of whom 203 died ! This dreadful visitation is likewise very prevalent at Uobiuski, Kalouza, aud Jaroslau. It is, therefore, evidently tra velling westward. Longevity. Mrs. Mary Rucon, aped one hundred and eight years, died in Providence, It. I., on Monday afternoon last. (t7 The Democratic candidates named for Governor, are Wm. Bigler, Morris Long streth, Judge Eldred and Gen. Keim. On the part of the Whigs James Cooper, Wm. F. Johnston, and the Hon. Andrew Stewart. Gov. Shunk is extremely low. It was sup posed he would go off in a state of pulmona ary appnplexy. COMMISSIONER i. the county seat. Mr. Editor : I have heard it said that some objected to having a commissiioiier re siding in the county seat. I confess lhat I was of the sumo opinion, for some time my self. But upon reflection and upon reasoning with a friend, I found that I was wrong. The business in the commissioners office has in creased very much in the last ten years, and much of this busings can often be done by one commissioner as well as by the board. If a mutter of doubt arises, it can be postponed until the board meets. Hut iu nine t;'ses out of ten. it requires no such nctiun. Now st;?. posing the commissioner iu town should have twenty or thirty more days than the others, is it not certain lhat the board will have to meet less frequently and would not the county save more days in this way than by having the whole board together more fre quently. Now these are facts that must strike any one. Besides, if a man should have urgent business with the commissioners and should travel 15 or 20 miles to the office and then find no one there, he must either neglect his business and go home disappointed, or make another trip to bring the commission er to town, which has been tho case fre quently. And why should persons having business in this office, not have the same fa. cilities that is afforded by the Prothonotary, Register, Treasurer, kc. The Treasurer is not required by law to live at the county scat, yet the-public convenience requires that he should do so, and none wish to make a change. The same reasons apply to the commissioners. Let us select a careful, hon est and attentive man, and the county will rather gain than loose, and persons, who come to have business done, that cannot be delay, ed, wont have to ride ten or fifteen miles to hunt up a commissioner. Why should we break down the good old rule of our fore fathers to accommodate a few office hunters. SHAMOKIN. Foa the American. Ma. Ebitob : I see that but little is said in regard to our next member of Assembly. This is, I presume, owing to the fact that the nomination will be conceded to Mr. FRICK, our late member, by general consent, and that there will be no opposition. Mr. Frick has served his constituents faithfully and im partially, and according to the old rule is en titled to another term. He was successful in defeating the bill to divide the county and attended to his duties generally in a faithful Foa the American. Ma. Editor : As the time is approaching for the selection of good persons to fill the various offices at the coming election, for the county of Northumberland. Myself and neighbors have come to the conclusion to of fer the name of HENRY J. READER, as an individual they think most worthy to discharge the important duties belonging to the office of Sheriff. We therefore recommend to the consideration of the Democratic Electors of Northumberland County.HENRY J. READER of Delaware township, for that office.1 He" understands the German well, and is a staunch Democrat, and is well qualified for the office. And in accordance with the usages of the democratic party, the other side of the river is entitled to the Sheriff. It has heretofore been customary that this office particular be given to the different sides of the river, al ternately. We do hope , that this rule will iu future bo adhered to. We in this section of the County, understanding the justness of the claims of the other side of the river, are fully determined to go in heart and hand for the nomination of HENRY J. READER, as an act of justice to the Forks. Henry J. Rea der is well known as an honest and intelli gent German and is just such a man as we unght to have in the office of Sheriff. JACKSON.
