By the Canada, which arrived at Halifax yester- day forenoon, we have advices from Europe to the 2a inst., but owing to the troubles with the tele- graph line our despatch gives but a meager sum- mary of the news. With regard to the war in Italy, it is announced that the Allies continued their movement across the Mincio without molestation from the Austrians, while the Piedmontese had completed the invest- ment of Peschiera, one of the redoubtable for- tresses of the famous quadrangle. The only political news of importance from Great Britain is the fact that Mr. Cobden had de_ clined a seat in Lord Palmerston’s Cabinet. In London on the Ist inst. consols closed at 934 for account—an improvement. The money market was more stringent. American securi- ties were generally unchanged. In the Liv- erpool cotton market the lower qualities of cotton had declined one-eighth, and upland was lightly !ower. Breadstuffs had declined in price a trifle, while the provision market continued de- pressed. The steamship Weser, which was advertised to Bail from Southampton for New York on the 30th ult., did not leave on the appointed day, the fitting inof a new propeller having occupied more time than was originally calculated upon. Messrs. Cross- key & Co., the company’s agents at Southampton, write that she would positively leave on Sunday, Bd inst.. The Star of the West arrived at this port yester- day fram Aspinwall, with the Pacific mails, nearly two millions in yota, and a full complement of pas” sengers. Although the intelligence from San lan- cisco has bech anticipated via Tehuantepec, the Jetters of our correspondent, and extracts from our files, which we publish elsewhere, containing de- tails of the political, commercial and other news, will be found very interesting. We learn by our correspondent at Fort Dalles, Oregon, that Lieut. Mullan’s party had left for Walla-Walla, to carry out the project of construct- ing a military road from Walla-Walla to Fort Ben- fon. Our advices from Central America are dated at San Juan del Norte on the Ist inst. The owners of the Transit steamer Cass-Yrisarri were sanguine that the Transit route would be open in October next. The steamer was at San Carlos, and was used as a sleeping place by M. Felix Belly and many of his canal employés, his projected city of Felicia having turned out as visionary a scheme as the canal. M.Trecotel, his engineer in chicf, had pet out for France in disgust. Trade was entirely suspended in San Juan, but many new buildings were going up notwithstanding. The United States ship Preble had touched at San Juan, and the St. Louis was in port at last accounts, From New Granada our Panama correspondent writes that there is nothing important from Bo- gata. The States of Canca and Santanda were again quiet. The President was authorized by law to promote the exploration of the Isthmus of Darien and Panama for purposes of canalization, and to make contracts for the work. The total population of the republic is stated at 2,243,837, from the census ‘of 1852. Flag officer Long of the United States navy had been permanently invalided by medica! certificate, and would return home. Captain Julius A. Otis, of Bath, Me., was killed in the railway cars while crossing the Isthmus, &y being stabbed by a drunken rowdy named Williams, or Teal, of Texas when endeavoring to prevent the latter from creat” ing a riot by abusing some negroes. Williams was sentenced to the chain gang, but it was feared he would buy a commutation of his sentence. The news from the South Pacific is dated at Val- paraiso on the Ist and Callao and Lima on the 12th ult. Colonel Ceballos, of Peru, had raised and was heading a military revolution against the govern” ment, and expected to be joined by Generals Echenique, Ureta and other officers. Government affected an indifference to the movement, but was concentrating troops for a defence. The American whaler William Lee, of Newport, R.J., was run through by a sword fish, and had to put into Paita for repairs. The Ecuadorian revolution against Robles was extending widely. His troops had en- gaged the rebels at Riobomba, but after a while two divisions fraternized with them, and the Presi- dent had three officers killed. Bolivia was pro- gressing in political power owing to government reforms. General Gallo’s revolution in Chile was ended, and he himself had gone into the Argentine Confederation and laid down his arms. Congress ‘was to meet on the Ist of June. Trade in Valpa- raiso was much improved, and the financial position of the republic was more healthy. Our Valparaiso correspondent, writing on the ‘Ast ult, says:—The steamer Washington arrived here on the 18th, and left for Panama on the 29th While lying at the port of Coronel one"of her pas Bengers, Mr. B. Tucker Hopper, of New York {nephew of Dr. Tucker, of the Common Council,) ‘was murdered bya party of Chilenos, who attacke } him whe on horseback, dragged him to the Bround, and stabbed him with his own bowie knife, ats ‘e lad as alastresouree drawn to defend Frc v the Sandwich Istands the news is to the sis a ips ney ee bewnges ; ig from perpetual to exile for seven years, Captain Pendleton had taken possession of Christmas Island. The action of the Volcano continued, with very bad effects on the Coast fisheries. The fourteenth annual commencement of gt, John's College, at Fordham, took place yesterday fnd notwithstanding the intense heat, not less than | fen thousand spectators assembled to witness the exercises. Quite a number of high dignataries of Archbishop Hughes, who delivered an address to the pupils. An account of the College exercises, and a report of the Archbishoy's rema:ks, may be found in to-day’s paper. Jnst evening were somewhat important, parti- cularly to taxpayers. It appears that the sum total required for the tax levy for 1859, including that for the Commiasionera o! Recor}, wii! be over ten millions of dollars—an increase of two mi‘lions- quorum at their meeting yesterday. The number in the institutions at present is 7,052—an increase of 32 for the week. The number admitted was 1,716, ani the number disc! arged, died, or sont to other ‘ stitutions, was 1,641. terday to consider the expediency of onening Gold street and extending it from Wall to Pearl street.

Others argued that the assessment for the cost would amount to more than the value of he improvement, and that the work is wholly un- necessary. The committee proiaised to visit the street and observe for themselves before they sab- mit their report. Our Wyandotte correspondent gives a full and giaphic account of the preliminary proceedings of the Kansas Constitutional Convention. He classi- fies the body as consisting of thirty-six republicans and sixteen democrats, and thinks the former, al- though opposed to exclading the negro from the Yerritory, are not in favor of according him the right of suffrage. Our Alexandria correspondent gives us some in- teresting details of affairs in Minnesota, including the opening of the new express and mail line from St. Paul to Fort Garry, of the overland expedition of Col. Wm. H. Nobles from Minnesota to British Columbia, and of the increasing activity of business in the valley of the Saskatcbewan and the North- west. Onr Chicago correspondent reports business in a flourishing state in the “ capital of the Northwest,” the city of Chicago. A number of valuable city improvements are in progress, and the city finances are in a most prosperous condition. 2A30,0€0 in 1868, 2,164,000 in 1857 and 2,856,000 in 1856. prices given in another column.

This Northern view exhibits a most un- promising condition of thingsto any democratic aspirant who dreams of entering the White House through the door of the Charleston Convention. the other equivalent by the to his election. able to carry a Northern balance of power sufil- ciently heavy to weigh down the loss of two or three Southern States; and that Governor Wise, in addition to the solid vote of the South, be- lieves in his capacity to carry as many Northern States as Mr. Buchanan. at Charleston upon his favorite hobby of aquatter sovereignty, nor can Governor Wise be nomi- nated upon his doctrine of Congressional inter- vention in behalf of slavery in the Territories. Tf the platform, as usual, could be postponed till after the nomination, and then be reduced to a few “glittering generalities,” susceptible of various readings, the party, upon either Wise or Douglas, might be reunited; but in making the Platform the main question, as these men have Gone, it becomes the first, the paramount and the decisive iseue with the Convention. Thus, the platform will have to be declared before the candidate is nominated; and as there can be no doubt of a Northern majority in the Convention opposed to the policy of Wise, it is highly pro- bable that, before the question of the nomination is touched, the party will be dissolved by the abrupt secession of the Southern fire-eaters from the Convention, And there is this formidable impediment to any satisfactory drawback from the extreme pro-sla- very ground assumed by the leading democratic politicians of the South, to wit: the strong pro- slavery ground now occupied by the new South- ern opposition movements. Third, in any compromise acceptable to the Northern de- mocracy, the other wing of the party may be thorn of half © dozen Southern States, And this “fire in the rear” will, most probably, com- pel even the Southern liberals of the democracy to surrender to the demands of the fire-eaters, Witness, for example, the late filibustering and African slave trade speech of Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, heretofore considered a calm and reliable Southern conservative, Thus, carried out of the Charleston Conven- tion, it would not be surprising next to find the Seuthern democracy transformed into a red hot sectional pro-elavery filibustering and African slave trade party. But should the Northera de- Mocracy be thus relieved of any farther necessi- the Catholiy Church were Presont, among them * ty to carry the heavy burthen in behalf of Southern slavery, which has broken them down, ‘The cotton market closed dull yesterday, but without quotable change in prices.

But how stands the matter in reference to the succession? Pennsyl- vania has been reconquered by the opposition, and, from the hot dissensions there prevailing in the democratic camp, we may pretty safely count that State on the opposition side in our estimates for 1860, Indeed, from the local elections of December next they will be dispossessed of And yet, from the manifest earnestness and con- fidence of Governor Wise and Mr. Douglas in their ability to accomplish this wonderful achieve- ment, each upon his own peculier platform, a superficial observer would naturally suppose that the nomination of either the one or Convention will be We presume that the theory of Mr. Douglas is, that if nominated upon his own hobby he will be But there is a fatal hitch in these calculations on both sides.

We are firm iv the opinfon that if the broken fragmenta of the democratic party are cemented together at Charleston, the work will be done upon the sound national basis of the administra- tion; and we are quite as well coavinced that ia the event of the seceesion of the Southern dre- eaters from the Convention, the administration will be the safest anchorage of tic Northern can- servative democracy. In @ word, let the dele- gaces from the North keep in view at Chatleston the nations! landmarks of the administeation, aid whether the Convention shall recom'lue or break up the party, there will yet be the nucleus for a party organ zation competent to save the country. A Bitch tn the New Brlueh Minletry—De- clension of Uffice by Mr. Cobden. We learn by the Canada, which arrived yes- terday at Hal f.x, that Mr. Cobd:n has deslined to enter the Palmerston adminisiratios. Besids the natural reluctance which the honorable gen- tleman méy feel to trammel himself by the tles of effice, circumstances have recently occurred which serve to explain the immediate motives of his refagal. In the first place, the declarations of some of the new Ministers in their addresses to their coustituents in connection with Par- lismentary reform, cannot have proved very satisfactory to. the Manchester section of the liberal party. They all speak of the measure which government contemplates bringing for- ward as likely to be very limited in, its scope. It is to be sound, they say, as far as it goes, and will not necessitate retrospective legislation to cure its deficiencies. In other words, it will be just such a tinkering of the question as will suit the notions of Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Cardwell, and other high church and conservative mem- bers of the administration, These meu will never accede to such an extension of the electoral franchise os will endan- ger the temporalities of the State religion. One of the greatest obstacles in the way of the concession of a low property qualification for voters has been this consideration. Unless, therefore, an agreement could have been effected to place the question of Parliamentary reform in abeyance until the settlement of the continental difficulties afforded an opportanity for a fresh reconstruction of the Cabinet, we do not see how Mr. Cobden could have come to any coipivinise with the Peelites on the subject. When a place was reserved for him in the administration the gencral impression was that some such arrange- ment was contemplated. The declarations of Mr. Eeadlam and other ministerial subordinates have, however, established the-fact that the com- promize was intended by Ministers to apply to the details of the measure, and not to the period to be fixed upon for its introduction. Under such circumstances, we are not surprised that Mr. Cobden should have declined exposing him- self to the mek or wo1my called upon to assist ia fathering a bill which he is given to understand raust fall far short of the reforms for which he and his associates have been so long contending. There is another consideration which bas pro- bably exercised equal inflaence on Mr. Cobden’s mind in this matter. The Manchester party, it is well known, are for keeping England eatirely clear of these continental complications, Noth- ing but a direct attack upon her interests should, they say, induce her to depart from the policy of strict neutrality laid down in the Queen’s pro- clamation. From recent Madications it would eeem as if Lord Palmerston and his colleagues intended only to carry out this doctrine io a limited extent. They have, it is true, declared throngh their organs that Austria will have to resign herself to the loss of her Lombardo-Vene- tian territory; but some of the Ministers have re- cently used language which implies that if Ger- many gets involved in hostilities Great Britain will hasten to her defence. Sir Richard Bethell, the Attorney General, for instance, declares that “ata given point France must be told she must go no further”’—words which convey a menace asua- necessary as it is dangerous, We canndt under- stand the policy or good sense of such high-toned language in presence of the public and solemnly reiterated declarations of the French Emperor, that it is not his intention to carry the war be- yond the point necessary to the complete libera- tion of Italy. There are circumstances, no doubt, that may compel a change in this deter- mination, but they will involve no breach of faith on the part of Napoleon. Suppose Ger- maby should send her armies to assist in the re- conquest of Lombardy, are we to understand that France is then to be held bound to her pledge not to invade German soil? Is England to consider herself called upon to furnish aid to the Powers which wi'l thus become th2 aggres- sors, and to say to France that she imposes limits to her further progress? We are afraid these are the eventualities to which Sir Richard Be- thell’s and Sir Charles Wood’s declarations point; and if 0, we can readily understand why Mr. Cobden should feel indisposed to commit himself and his party to the support of a policy which would be ruinous to the best interesta of Eng- land. Although declarations at the hustings are not, generally speaking, considered reliable evidences of the course likely to be pursued by a new ad- ministration, we are forced to the conclasion that those to which we refer are based on something more than the individual dispositions and senti- ments of the parties making them. It is not to be supposed that men in the positions of the Secretary for India and the Attorney General would express themselves after such a fashion without the concurrence of their colleagues. Considering the earnest and generally expressed desire of the English people that they should be kept out of this war, there is but one explana- tion of the singular inopportuneness of the views that have been thus put forward. We are afraid that Lord Palmerston and his colleagues have been betrayed into the unpardonable weakness of compromising matters with the party behind the throne, and of pledging England to defend Prussia in case the fulfilment of her federal obli- gations ehould expose the latter to danger. Thus, family interests will again be made the means of compromising the independent and secure position of Gieat Britian in reference to these complications, and of plunging her into a war which may result in the ruin of her com- merce and the invasion of her shores. The statesmen of the Manchester school are right in keeping clear from the entanglements of auch a suicidal policy. On them may, by and by, de- volye the duty of snatching the helm of govera- - tions sreailing General Cass were adopted.

Tammany Haut Maging « Donker or Isety.— 8 evening, at an adjourved meeting of the Tammany Hell General Committee, the resolu- was just what might be expected from the kind of men who compose the rank and dle of Tam- many Hall committees in recent years, We kzow the corrupt sources from which they are appointed, and the influences by which they are moved, and it wor’? be vbsard to expect apy- thing bigh-minde.. v» honorable or patriotic from such a quark... They vote black white and white biak, just as they are directed by the fugleman. It is stated that the vote last night was carried by the influence of those who hold impor tant offices in this city under the very govern- ment which they denounce. The audacity of these men is highly amusing. They transfer their worship from the setting sun to some two or three rising stare; aud they make their arrango- ments to secure their positions under the suc cession, taking for granted that it is now too inte to displace them for the remainder, of the present term. But let them not be too sure of this, Their official days may be numbered sooner tban they imagine, and in their calcula- tions for the next Presidency they are completely vefogged and floundering in the mire. The whole country will be found against them, and no men can be elected President who holds the doctrine of Tammany Hall. It is not for the interest of this republic to involve herself in half a dozen wars with the Powers of Europe tur a mere abstraction, and that, too, one which will not bold water. The men who come before the country as champions of such a course will be marked by the good sense and the patriotism of the people as dangerous chiefs, unfit to be trusted with the reins of power. Meanwhile the doom of Tammany Hall is sealed. Tue Latrst ApverTIsNG Dopoy—GReELey wt Pixg’s Peak.—We print elsewhere a queer document, purporting to give an account of the facts connected with the Pike’s Peak gold mines “as they exist.” This paper bears the signatures of three persons, one of whom is the Hen. Massa Greeley, who, after trying all sorts of remark- able dodges, has turned up a8 a sortof mining stock epeculator. He js not, according to his own account, “a miner, nor directly interested in mining;” bat he is penetrated with a desire to give to the public the blessed truth upon the subject, of the merits of which no one buta miner is capable of judging. In one day these active philosophers visited ten or a dozen claims, saw “the gold plainly visible,” and obtained from the parties working the sluices, (and all of whom desired to sell their claims), some accounts of the products of the mines, The names of these un- prejudiced witnesses are then given. One “sold half his claim, fifty by one hundred feet, for twenty-five thousand dollars; auother “ took out five hundred dollars worth of gold in a day;” apother “took $17 80 from a single pan of dirt, and bad been offered ten thousand dollars for the claim.” Following the accounts ef the opera- fiona of these & ves, Were ws ine usual Jeremiad over the poor wretches who have been deluded by just such s‘ories, furnished by the same disinterested sources, and have died of tungcr in the mountains, or dragged their weary timbs back to the East. : But the enthusiastic gold hunter is never de- terred by fears of this sort. He is willing to leave everything for the shining dross, and he sees only the bright side of the Greeley picture. As an account of the mines, which it purports to he, the Greeley certificate is worthless. It gives only a few memorandums, picked up from claim owners, and is only valuable to them a3 an advertisement. It is evidently one of those peculiarly mysterious affairs into which the amiable Greeley is seduced by designing men for their own base pur- poses, while he stands like a lamb to be cut up, Without knowing why he should do go, or what is to become of the fleece. This was the case with that thousand dollar draft of the Fort Des Moines Company, which Greeley carried in his pecket so innocently, and with the Mariposa stock, Irish revolution fund, &¢., &. Perhaps in the absence of the philosopher of Pike’s Peak, his Man Friday, who is accustomed, from his Brook Farm experiences, to answer questions and ladle out soup and information at the eame time, will be kind enough to give us all the points con- cerning this last advertising dodge. Meanwhile, let all the fools make the best of their way to Pike’s Peak, so as to haye time to get back be- fore cold weather sets in. Inch Tae Last News From Tae War.—The news telegraphed from Halifax last night by the steamer Canada does not inform us of many im. portant facts in connection with the late battle of Solferino. The details of that terrific contest, and the account of the number killed and wounded, have yet to arrive. It would seem, however, that the French did not cross the Mincio after the action quite so rapidly as may have been supposed from Napoleon’s despatch, for their passage had not been completed up to the 1st inst., six days after the conflict. The in- telligence received in Paris that the French had suffered so severely in the contest of the 24th of June that it required two days to reorganize the army, would thus appear to be confirmed by the fect that no immediate pursuit followed the vic- tory. At latest accounts the Piedmontese were investing the fortress of Peschiera from the Lake Garda, where they had placed some gunboats. The town of Peschiera is defended by an im- mense line of outworks, forming an entrenched camp capable of mancuvring an army of a hundred thousand men, while the fortress itself is alsoa very strong one. The Sardinians will therefore have occasion to exercise all their strength and their tactics to take Peschiera, A Great Cry Anour a Litriz Woor.—Some of the Boston papers are making a great fuss over Mr. George Sumner’s oration “delivered be- fore the civic authorities on the glorious Fourth. Mr. Sumner, who appears to be a tollower in the footsteps of his brother the Senator, aired the Almighty Nigger instead of the American eagle, and utterly annihilated Chief Justice Tancy on the Dred Scott question. All conservative Bos- ton isin dreadful state of mind about it, and the Corporation has postponed consideration of the usual resolution of thanks, Really, our East- ern friends are making a great cry about a very little wool. Knowing the Sumner doctrine, that philosopher was invited to orate, and if his speech was not palatable the authorities have only themselves to blame. It certainly can do no harm, because no one ever reads a Fourth of July oration, and the Supreme Coart will pro- bably go on nearly the same as before, If the 1859. a I ae nee ae aon Borton authorities want s cut and dried a Sioa, why not take an old one out of the several Tels full that they have in their archivea.
