The democracy assembled in great force last evening at the Palace Gardens to ratify the nomi- nations made at the State Convention at Syracuse. Judge Parker, the democratic candidate for Gov- ernor; Jefferson Davis, Senator in Congress; and General Ward, addressed the meeting. Full reports of the speeches are given in to-day's Hera.p. We have news from Venezuela, dated at Caracas @@ the 25th of September. Friendly relations were fully restored between that republic and England and France. The country was enjoying repose, and the people anxiously awaiting the return of Gen. Paez, to whom the next Presidency would be tendered. The Constitutional Convention made flow progress in its deliberations. A decree had been adopted, by virtue of which the territory comprised within the jurisdiction of the Captain Generalship of Venezuela of 1810, is to be divided into departments, cantons and parishes, instead of twenty-one provinces, as at present. The pro- vince of Margarita is to be ruled by special laws Mail communication with Europe, by way of the West Indies, was to be facilitated. Gen. Castro had returned to Valencia.

The trial of Dr. Gaillardet, charged with commit. ting « felonions assault upon Hiram Cranston, pro- prictor of the New York Hotel, in May last, by striking him on the head with a champagne bottle, was commenced yesterday in the General Sessions, and will be resumed this morning. The cros#exa- mination of the complainant had not been finished when the Court adjourned. The Excise Commissioners met yesterday and granted several licenses. The Board will meet from Gay to day until the expiration of the term. The Commissioners are in 2 predicament. They have commenced between forty and fifty suits for viola- tions of the excise law, but make little headway in the prosecutions. Commissioner Holmes complains that he has had to pay all the expenses attending these suite out of his own pocket, and he finds it a losing business, especially as there is no liability on | the part of the Supervisors to indemnify.

We have lands enough to produce this amount, but not the labor to work them. Breadstuffs generally were dull yesterday. Pork and other provisions were without change of mo” ment.

The state of affairs in Venezuela, as exhibited in our correspondence and news columns, is of interest, embracing, as it does at the present moment, one of the most prominent phases of the developement of the Spanish-American re- publics, The revolution against the despotism of Mona- gas has triumphed; the question with the rep- resentatives of France and England has been settled; the popular excitement consequent upon the first sensation of public relief has subsi- ded; and parties are now beginning to range themselves upon the questions of future domes- tic policy. In accordance with what seems to be the normal law of the societies of Spanish-Ame- rica, the Convention at Valentia has entered upon the sea of discussion of a new political constitution. Two projects are already before it. One of these provides for the division of the republic into six departments, to be ruled by a governor and legislative chamber elected by popular vote—tbe general government to consist of President and Vice President, Senate and House of Representatives and the Judiciary, or- ganized similar to our own. This project estab- lishes universal suffrage, popular election, freo- dom of worship and government protection to the Catholic religion. Another project resem- Mes the last constitution adopted in Mexico. The republic is divided into six independent States and two Territories. The executive power is placed in the hands of the President, and the legislative in those of a single chamber, and the declaration of popular rights iavolves, in a word, the largest liberty. : We regret to see Venezuela thus entering upon the interminable and bitter discussion of the forms of law. What that republic requiresis not the adoption of new forms, but the establish- ment, on the part both of the people and their rulers, of a respect for the existing forms of law. Without that no liberty, no society, no government is safe. Venezuela will much more readily find peace, order, social developement and political freedom, in placing men in power who have experience and an iron respect for the law, both as the rule of their own action and for the government of others, than in seeking to find perfect constitutions and to establish a Uto- pian political millenium. She should, above all things, seek to develope her material interests, for the developement of human knowledge is inseparable from the progress of industry and of national wealth. Such men she may find among her sons, who, having fled from the tyranny of Monagas, are now returning to hershores. Their exile has enabled them to study and to know the condi- tions that rule prosperous communities, and their experience will enable them to be of im- mense advantage to their native country. One of the most remarkable of these will soon depart from among us, where an honorable sojourn of many years has added greatly to his experience, and prepared him to bestow great benefits upon his fellow citizens. The name of Paez is twined with the history of Venezucla from her earliest struggles to the crowning glories of Boyaca and Carabobo. From his exertions his countrymen may expect greater and more permanent benefits than can accrue to them from the discussions of twenty constitutions in as many different conven- tions, It isto be hoped that our government may find an occasion to send General Pacz back in a national ship, and thus lend its countenance to the hopes of material developement now ger- minating in Venezuela. . Avxapas Sirek on Porrricat, Morars— Aminadab Sleek, of the Journal of Commerce, is very much distressed touching the dead lock in the Congressional politics of the Eighth district. Aminadab says the Eighth distriet is a fashion- able and intelligent district, and yet that it has come to a dead lock for the want of a man of high character-among the candidates. Aminadab advises them not to present any man but one of high personal and political character. In this advice we concur. We hope that the nominating convention will present no man whose political morality permits him to advocate in an associate the reception of several thousand dollars from a Tariff Corruption Committee in Boston for sup- porting an amendment in the wool schedule con- trary to his own convictions. Tue Curvarier Wenn ty 4 State or Woxpen.— Our amiable cotemporary, the Chevalier Webb, expresses great astonishment at the novelty of some views of the recent revulsion, including annexation, and matters of that kind.

Quenxc, Oct. 19, 1858. ‘The steamship Anglo Saxoa, from Liverpool, with dates of the 6th inst., arrived at this port at an early hour this morning. Her dates are no later than those received last evoning, Drought by the Ariel, boarded off Cape Race. A careful examination of our files by the Anglo-Saxon gives us some little additional news of interest. Later advices from Lady Franklin’s Arctic yacht Fox mention that the expedition had safely crossed tho middle ico of Baffin’s sea, and was in a fair way of accomplishing the object of the enterprise. ‘The London Times says that all appearances indioate that the present Atlantic cable must be given up, and hopes that the experience xained will be used to insure ‘that success which is finaily certain. It admite the great superiority of the Niagara over the Agamomnon, and thinks that a ship should be especially constructed for the iShares of’ the. Atlantic Telegraph Company had i e m- proved to £420 a £450. eg The London papers publish an ablo by Mr. Healey, the electrical engineer, on the state of the Atlantic cable. He is of the opi that the cable is seriously in- jured about three hundred miles from Valentia. Ho has put his large magnetic instrumont in operation, with a view to transmit messages to Newfoundland, but will not know the result until advised by steamer from America. Any attempt to raise the cable in deep soundings would, in his judgment, cause its destruction. Finally, he does not despair of making the cable work if it does not get worre. Lord Derby was suffering from an attack of the gout. Tt was said that Sir Bulwer Lytton, prompted by the Canadian Ministers now in England, was giving special attention to the plan for the federation of the British Ame- rican colonies. The London Shipping Gazette is informed that Lord leaves Galway in a weok for British North America, with instructions from the colonial office to ob- tain the opinion of tho Legislature and people of Canada, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick on tho subject of a con- federation. Lieut. Col. Moody had beon appointed Chief Commis- sioner of Lands and Works in Brith Columbia. The London Times, city article, reports the funds very inact.ve and without fluctuations. The failure of a large sugar speculator in London for two millions sterling was announced. The name is not given. The papers publish a despatch from Lord Canning, Go- vernor General of India, in reply to Lord Ellonborough's acspatch. Lord Canning complains of the treatment he has experienced. He defends his policy aud asks to be relieved, if he has failed to satisfy the government. The Emperor of France was at the Cha!ons’ camp. The Monéieur publishes a circular forbidding unstamped newspapers to insert advertisements. This return to the strict letter of the law will be a death blow to a multitude of muor journals. It is stated as certain that the Fmperor of Russia has been invited by Prince Napoleon to visit France; that he has accepted the invitation, and that he will visit both London and Paris next spring. Later European News Expected. St. Jonna, N. F., Oct. 19, 1858. The steamship Pacific, from Galway 12th inst., is now due, and is fully expected between now and to-morrow morning. Her advices will be three days later than those by the Europa, now duet Halifax. Later from California By the Overland Mail. St. Lows, Oct. 19, 1868. The third overland California mail arrived last night, bringing letters dated Sept, 24, but no papers. Five pas- ers came through. The first aud second mails from St. Louis were met, progressing finely. No Indian inter- fereuce has thus far been met with. News from the Eastern Coast of Africa. Provingycr, Oct. 19, 1858, The schooner F. H. Miller, at this port from Guillimone River, brings news that Dr. Livingstone had gone up the Nile with bis small steamer.

News had been received of a victory over the natives at Champan: on the Zambesi, The Indiana Election. INDIANAPOLIS, Oct, 19, 1858. The returns for members of the Legislature thus far re ceived show the election of twelve republican, three anti Lecompton democratic, and twelve adminictration sena- tors; while there are thirteen republicans and ten demo- crats holding over from last session. To the House, fifty- two republi three anti-Lecompton and forty-five administration democrats aro elected. The ofiicial re- turns of a few counties are not yet received, but will not change this result. The democratic State ticket has about 2,600 majority. The Minnesota Election. Cicaco, Oct. 19, 1858. The St. Pan! (Minnesota) Times of the 17th inst. sa that the republicans have elected 2% members of the House and the democrats 28, and that there are 19 dis triets yet to hear from.

The committee of stockholders of the New Haven Conn ty Rank reported to-day, showing that more than half the capital had been wasted by recklees speculations, and fix ing most of the blame upon the President, who loaned large gums without the pres ious knowledge of the direc fors—in one instance $50,000 to Henry Dwight, without taking even his receipt. The report charged gross mis. management in numerons particulars for years past. The stockholders voted that it was expedient to choose a new board of directors, and appointed a committee to rey bames next week. The bills of the bank are good, stockholders ouly are losers.

By private advices received in Wasbington from Arizo- na, dated September 28, it is ascertained that the Sonora Silver Mining Company have begun shipping silver from ‘Tubac to San Francisco—about a thousand ounces per week. ‘This will be largely increased in a few weeks, when the amalgamation works are finished. Several other mines are well opened and smolting commenced, with lirge re- turns. ‘The Apaches were about making a great expedition into Sonora, and the Mexicaus were preparing for a large army to resiet them.

The American vote has largely increased since last year. Lieutenant Mowry had gone to Guayamas, Sonora, to obtain, it is said, from the Legislature of that State the right of way from Arizona to Port Lobos and Guayamas for a wagon and railroad, and the transit of silver and goods free of duty.

PENOCKATIO CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION IN THE RIGHTH DISTRIOT—A GENKKAL HOW, ‘The democratic convention for the nomination of a can” didate for the Fichth Congressional district met last night, ‘at the corner of Fourth avenue and Thirty-second streeby Jeaac Bell, Jr., in the chair, When the convention was organized a motion was made to admit the reporters of the prees, which was debeted very violently. Richard Busteed and Captain Wiley contended manfully for the Syeedom of the prese, but on the vote boing taken, 15 to 10 deciared against the admission of the reporters, Mr. Busrexp offered a series of resolutions de" novncing two members of the convention—one a high federa) officer (Mr. Butterworth), having counselled Jobo B. Haskin to purane bis course in oj ion to tho administration, and another as ap active friend of the re- publican party. The resolutions were laid on the tabie by & majority vote, The question of the admission of re- porters was then reconsidered. Captain Wiley ably sus- tained the affirmative on the ground that the uen- ciex which aent the dolegates there had a rightto bave the proceedings made public, and that unless some trickery and cheating was intended there could be no objection to admitting the reporters. Before the vote was taken Mr. Butterworth left the room without permission of tho Chair and sent in a Mr. Murphy to represent him as a substitute, Mr. Murphy’s vote was objected to by Mr. , but was sustained by the Convention. Great confa- sion then arege on poinis of order, and motions to ad- journ, which were negutived, and the decisions of the ‘Chair were repeatedly appealed from, but always over- ruled. In the midst of the confusion a ballot for the Con- grcssional candidate was culled for, which, on motion of Mr. Wiley, was made viva voce, and resulted as follows:— James Gordon Bennett... Andre Froment Horace F, Clark 8 Mr. Busrexp again moved an adjournment, which was foliowed by considerable excitement and contusion, but it wag negatived. Aftor a good deal of stormy discussion Capt. Wiley succeeded in obtaining the floor, and said that he withdrew Mr, Bennett's name. He stated that Mr. Bennett asked no nomination, nor woul) accept none from that Convention, though some of his friends had put his name forward. Mr. Besraen moved an adjournment for the third time. Fpwanp Coorgr moved, a3 an amendment, that the ad journment be till Thursday evening, at 745 o'clock. The amendment being lost, Mr. Bustecd asked for the yea and noes ob the original motion of adjournment. Tho air declared him ont of order, whereupon Mr. Busteed appealed from the decision of the Chair, but the Chairman said that he bad no right on that floor to appeal from the Chair, Great confusion followed this announcement, in the midat of which Mr. Buateed moved towards the door, saying that as he had no rights on the floor of the Convention ho would leave, protesting against the to which he had been subjected, and announcing his intention to appeal to the publ Mr. Busteed’s departure was, how. cyer, Obstructed by Mr. E. Cooper and his friends, on the ground that he had the resolutions, previously of- fered, in his possession. At this juncture affairs assumed so Violent an aspect that the parties outside in the corri- dor attempted to burst in the door, under the impression that Mr. Busteed was being roughly handled inside; at the same time an immense crowd from bolow rushed up to the scene of action, and for a time a general fight seemed inevitable, Mr. Busteed, however, was enabled to leave the room and get down stairs, where a crowd of some hundred fellows assa:led bim with Lootings and other hostile demonstrations, driving him from one corner ¢y the room to another, until, being almost alune, he was Comnsiled in ws dafanca. to draw & niet! which intimi- dated the crowd, and he was allowed to go unmolested, thongh for a few moments his friends feared for his safo- ty. While this scene was being enacted below stairs, the Convention above, now reduced in numbers, had a second ballot, which resulted in the nomination of Mr. Herrick. ‘The following was the vote:-— Anson Herrick... Davist &. Jackson Conrad Swackhames The Congestion an noisy vociferatlon’s.

A stormy debate took place which ended in nothing, in the course of which it was alleged that $500 had been paid by certain delegates tothe reprblican candidates. The motion to lay the matter on the table was carried. In the Eleventh ward we learn that similar scene oc. curred, KNOW NOTHING COUNTY CONVENTION. In concurrence with the arrangement come to last Fri- day evening between the republicans and Know Nothings, the latter party met at eight o'clock last night at No. 163 Bowery, to vominate candidates for County Clerk, District Attorney and two Coroners, which was the portion of the fusion ticket assigned them. Gilbert C. Dean presided, and Wagner acted as Secretary to ths meeting. A committee from the Republican County Convention, then assembled at 618 Broadway’, entered the room, when Mr. Smith, chairman of the committee, explained what action the republicans had taken, reciting the names of those they bad nominated, and which wil! be found below.

Wo fee heard of bets being made as far south as New Or- leans. In St. Louis and Chicago there is probably nore money at forfeit than in Troy. A Spaniard residing in Al.
