Foreign News.

The Steam Ship Caledonia, arrived al Bos.
ton on Wednesday last. in 5 days from Lv-
erpool, with 20 passengers, and much news Of
interest and importance.
There has been decided impro, ement in
the Cotton market; Georgia cotton is selling a.
an advance Of half cent per pound. The
trade and business of France and England,
generally, has also materially improved
The British Parliament was prorosued on
The 24ih OF August, by ihe Queen in person,
upon which occasion she read Speech which
bore very severely upon The Irish Repealers.
Espartcro, Duke Of Victory, and late Regent
of Spain, has arrived in London, and created a
great sensation. Apartments have been proyi-
ded him by the Government, which he will oc-
cupy during his stay. He has also been re-
ceiyed by the Queen, Sir Robert Peel, the Duke
of Wellington, and other dgniiares, in The mos,
kind and Aauering manner.
The all absorbing iropic Of interest, however,
is The vis, of The Queen of England 10 France;
with accounts of which the English papers are
filled. She sailed in a government vessel, from
Southampton. on The 2slh Of Aug, and reached
Treport on The I'd Of September, where she

Canal Commissioners.

Not the least important duty which the vo-
ters of Pennsylvania will have to perform at
ihe coming election, will be The choice OF three
Canal Commissioners The cOrrupiions which
had crepl into The Canal Board, and The evils
which consequently afflicted the Stale, called
so loud for reform, thai at the last Session OF
the Legislature Law was passed, which pro-
vides for The election of three Commissioners
this fall, and of one at every ensuing general
election; so that hereafter these officers will
be elected by the people, instead. of being op-
pointed by the Governor. Il becomes the du-
~ Of the people then TO see that capable and
honest men are choxen, who will root out these
conuplions, and reform all the consequent
evils.
There are now two tickets before the peo-
pie, from which they may make choice. The
loco ioco, or democratic ticket, as it is called,
has on it the names Of James Clarke, Jesse
Miller, and William B. Foster. As we pub
lished an article from the Philadelphia Nation
al Forum, in our paper of last week, which
went ialo full investigation Of their merits
and fitness for lhe Office, we will say nothing
further al present, than that We consider all
three Of them men, who from their ioriuous
public career, as well as their personal iucom-
pe,ency, are totally unfit for the responsible
station.
The other, or Wing ticket, which we have
placed at the head Of this column, is composed
OF men against whose moral or public charac-
tiers, not even shadow of suspicion rests.-
One of Them is practical Engineer, and all
are distinguished for their general intelligence
and well known business habits. They were
selected with great unanimiiy by The nomina-
ling Convenlisn, from among number of other
excellent names, and afterwards unanimously
recommended by them TO The people for elec-
ton. We feel confident tha, if chosen, they
will not belray The trust reposed in them; bul
by faithful discharge Of their duties, render
general satisfaction.

The last number of the Pol,sville Miners
Journal coniains long Communication from
Mr.. Hughes, Zone of our candidates for State
Senator) in reply TO letter addressed 10 him
by number Of Citizens of Schuylkil county,
in which they asked him 10 declare his senii-
men,s in regard 10 The Existing Tariff" the
I" Distribution of the Proceeds Of the Public
Lands among The States" an "Out-let Lock
a, Blacks Eddy" &c.
We are pleased 10 ses tina, Mr. Hughes meets
the inquiries of his fellow citizens in candid
and fearless manner. He avows himself op-
posed TO an "Oui-lei Lock" upon the grounds
Of its being highly detrimental TO the interests
Of the coal region, and unwse and impolitic as
a Stale measure. The subject Of the "Public
Lands" he says. involves considerations of
much Importance, and which require great con-
sidera,ion 10 determine But in order to Sc
cure The permdnency of the Tariff, he would
supper. that, or any other wise and polite
measure. As TO the Tariff" itself, he is per-
ieclly orthodox, and regards its continuance as
Of the greatest moment. We copy the follow
ing remarks of his on iha, suject.
81 have always been the friend and advocate
Of Tariff. both for revenue and protection
The present Tariff Acr, although perhaps not
perfect in its details, is upon the whole calcu-
lated 10 afford protection and will probably an
swer the purpose for revenue. This will be
ascenained by he next Report Of the Secrela-
ry of the Treasury. The votes of our imme-
diaie Representatives in Congress, both Wings
and Democrats, in favor of the present Tariff
act, met my decided appreciation. The prlncl-
pie of projection has always received the sup
port Of both political parties in Pennsylvania,
and know Of no reason why ii should be aban-
doned or compromised, believing it 10 be vital.
ly important TO the interests Of Pennsylvania,
and in fact 10 the whole Union, shall advocate
1t in whateper position, public or private, naoy
be placed"
What are tho sentiments Of his opponent,
Mr.. Coolbaugh, on this important subject? AS
Pennsylvania is SO deeply interested in the
preservation Of the Tariff, it il no more than
right lha. the people should be made acquain.-
ed with them. so that they may cas-. their votes
knowingly when they go to The Polls. Unless
Mr.. Coolbaugh's opinions are equally sound,
Mr.. Hughes letter will gain him hundreds of
votes which he would mol otherwise hare got.
