Hon. CHARLES f.. CLARKE Of Jefferson has
been chosen the President Of this body. 1t
is expected that the nominations will be
completed this morning, and we know Of
nothing to prevent final adjournment Of
the Convention to-day.
The other party don't seem to get on as
smoothly as the Wings. 1t took them TIL }
O'Clock yesterday to get organized, and
quite nice and spicy time they had of 1t.
The slumbering ire broke forth again and
the Union and It's Compromises were dis
turbed. Hard things were said, and sharp
| Kissing and other noise came In by way OF
variation. However. the Barnburners had
their way at last their candidate, Gen.
HALsEy. was chosen President; and the
! Committee on Resolutions was made from
men of their own stripe. Indeed, no true
| blue Hunker would accept place on that
Committee, 50 great was the disgust of that
class of gentlemen at the previous proceed
ngs In truth, 50 profound was this feel
ing, that two no less men than CHARLES
O'CoYoR and FRANcIs B. CUTTING actually
quit the Convention never to return. We
gratuitously advise them to 90 to Utica and
hold another, of exactly the kind and size
that Will suit their taste. 1t seems that, In
the BODY thus deserted at Syracuse, the re-
solutions are to be brought in before the
nominations are made This is departure
from usage
The prominent topic IN the News from
Europe by the Niagara is the beating of the
English Yacht Titania by Com. Stevens
America. The match took place two days
before the sailing of the steamer, but the
London journals usually so prompt in giving
intelligence, make no hurry with this. They
simply record the fact doubtless the papers
we shall receive in day or two by the Pa
cifc, will bring the complete details. The
race can hardly have had any new features
but it tickles JOnathan's national vanity most
deliciousl V to peruse the particulars of such
tliuiI IliH. &C ptNldl WHICH, lihC ViOSN VI ehN

that the beaten party-and that party John
Bull-has nothing to do but give in the
most handsomely possible.
In France the counsel employed to con-
duct the defence in the trial for a political
conspiracy at Lyons, in which NJ. Gent,
former representative, Is accused OF being
the chief have suddenly and all together
abandoned the case, after the trial had pro-
ceeded three weeks. The reason they al
lege for this extraordinary step Is unjust
and oppressive conduct on the part OF the
Court, whose head, by the way, is military
officer This is owing to the fact that mar
tial law is in force at Lyons, and that in re-
ference to political oflenses the ordinary
tribunals are superseded The trial will 90
on, of course, notwithstanding the with
drawal of the counsel the Court will APP
point Few ones who will 90 through the
forms Of defense. whether accepted by the
prisoners or not.
The signs in French politics are still ia
vorable The certainty that the elections
of 1852 will be passed without harm to the
Republic becomes daily greater. There Is
no movement with view to them. if we
except the discussion on the proposed nom
nation of NJ de Joinville to the Presi-
dencv. or even as member Of the As
semby Lamartlne, in his journal combats

is by no means certain that it will not be
put in execution. ID de Joinville would
be strong candidate for the reactonary
party, could they unite upon him, but the
Legitimst gall renders such a union I'M
practicable.
The news from Austria confirms our con-
yiction that kosSuth will be released on
the appointed day, and that ere long we
shall elcome this great man 10 America.
In Italy the same horrible tragedy Is per-
petually renewed. and there seems to be no
hope of change except In revolution.
