Late Foreign News.

] W. bb Line, on Sunday last, we have dates IRON
San Francisco to the 18th inst. The principal
part of the mail due here was put on board Of
the bark Queen Emma, which vessel sailed from
that port five days before the departure of the
steamer She is now fully due, aud we are in
hopes to receive by her shortly full files Of East
ern and California papers.
The news is not of a very startling character.
The nomination Of Greeley by the Baltimore Dem
much the lifelong opposition of Greeley to the
traditional opinions and policy Of that party may
have been. 1t would appear that all the OPP
ponents OF Grant are determined, regardless of
party principles, to defeat him if they can. The
contest will undoubtedly be a sharp one and we
are Of the opinion that it is not safe to reckon
upon the result in favor of either candidate with
the certainty which some people seem to have.
We give below the most important and interest

TEN of representation Mr.. Morrison said that I'M
der this system, Birmingham would be entitled to
seven, and Liverpool eleven representatives in Par
Lament, instead Of three each as at present Lon
don would have sixty-two members instead of
twenty as now.
Tom Hughes seconded the motion
Charles Dixie opposed the motion on the ground
that ireland and Scotland were not included in the
bill
LONDON, July 1.-THE London Times says that the
nomination of Greeley by the Democracy is a fla
grant instance of party decentralization. The Demo
Gratis swallowed their opponents platform and can
ddates, conessing that they hadnon Of their own.
Nobody believes Greeley could be President four
months without making some terrible mistake, and
We cannot believe he will be elected.
The Ae,rs says that his nomination at Baltimore
the first ballot, and at Cincinnati on the sixth,
shows that the Democrats arc more enthusiastic
in his support than the Liberal Republicans. The
election will not, however, change the relations of
England with America.
LONDON, July 12.-The city journals comment on
the nomination Of Greeley at Baltimore follows:
The Ad1trtiSer confesscs that its sympathies are
altogether with Greeley as a newspaper man.
The Post declares that such fragrant rodtctio dd
absgd'H will largely tend TO bring about the aban-
donment Of system whereby the people of America
have been long deprived OF all real choice in their
Presidents
The Telegraph styles Greeley political weather
cock, and says that the Democrats, supported by the
South, are endeavoring TO unseat General who
saved tue Union.
The Standard thinks that Greeley would not he IN
eligible candidate it not Tor his eectioueering
strength He is as honest as a partisan can be- aud
he shows occasional glimpses of rough good sense,
but he is of a violent disposition, without regular
education and devoid Of experience in the admins
tration public affairs. In fact he is respectable
yeoman of the last generation. Although Greeley
is inferior TO Adams, be is not inferior to Grant
We do no not believe that il he is elected his sub
ordiuates will be appointed from the Tribune office.
