It has become, along with the banlc, "an obsolete idea." The prediction of their It-ading statesmen, that the low tariff of 1S4C would int yield as much revenue as the high tariff of 1 12 has been signally falsified. The tariff of 1842, during the last year of its operation, yielded about VJ 1,000,000. The present Democratic Tariff, adopts! in 1S4G, produced 58,03 during the fiscal sear ending on the of June lajt; showing a difference of about in of the lalier. Under the former, in a time of peace, the eminent got badly into debt, and an attempt to negotiate a loan, to meet its liabilities, pignallay uild. there beintr i bids for it, except at a heavy iii-v'uut.

Fnder the iatter, a snm-sstul freign war has lieen prosecuted, resulting in a large and niiiiieiisely valuable acquisition of teiritory; loans hava liern negotiated at a high rate of premium, and all the liabilities of the government promptly met. At the present time, there is a large surplus in the treasury, and the public debt incurred during the war. is being tapidly paid off. But, what is of tar more importance, peihap, to the great mass of is the fact that all the articles which enter into general vt and consumption, are imported at much lower rates of duty under the present tariff, than under the whig tariff of 1S42; thus enabling the consumer to purchase the article at so much less cost. And, in view of the large sutplus in the treasury, which is constantly accumulating, the Secretary of the Treasury, in his recent report, recommends placing upon the free list, many articles now paying duty, some of which arc largely used by manufacturers and others, articles of prime necessity, ed and consumed b- every family, reducing their coat just so much as they now pay duty.

These practical facts are worth all the theoretical essays erer published, about "protection to home industry," "development of the resources of the cotm-Iry," ''home competition," and similar whig twat-tlej means protection to a few wealthy manufacturers, at the expense of the toiling of consumers.

Ac. As the war in "Europe is the great event of the day, we shall make no apology for devoting much 1 of our space to the details of the struggle as we re- ct-tve them by mail Below we copy a summary of the Pacific's account from the New York Express. This summary is the fullest yet received, and is high- ly interesting. The Africa uews, of which we published a telegraphic summary In Sunday's issue, is still later, and nioie favorable to the Turks. The full details of the Africa be received la a few davs by mail, when we shall probably be able to i give all the particulars of the late disastrous sea I between the Russian and Turkish fleets.

kBOM THE N. V. EXI'BSjS. The news is ofcxtraordinary importance. Hitherto the inertness of the Anglo French allies of Turkey was in a manner excusable on the ground that no hostilities affecting the general issue of the question had taken place.

The engagements had also been confined to laud, and the avowed object of the Anglo-French fleet was to preserve the integrity of the Turks at sea. Now the whole aspect of affairs is suddenly changed, and the conviction begins to dawn, even on the Government ofBritain, that a European war is inevitable, with honor. Without more preface we give the account of 17ie Dtftnt and Destruction of the lurkish Fleet. On Monday, I2th, the public was startled by a telegraphic despatch published in the London Jime, stating'thtt a Russian vquadron'of six sails of the line had forced the harbor of Sinope and burned, sunk, and captured, and dostroyed every ship, with one exception, of the Turkish squadron of fourteen sail; had taken prisoner the Turkish Admiral, Osman; carried off his Hag ship from under the guns of the shore batteries, and were towiDgit to Sebastopol, when it sunk, and with it the supply of money lor paying the Turkish fleet! This disastrous intelligence caused the greatest excitement, and further intelligence was anxiously looked for. Additional accounts came at length, but only to confirm the previous news.

On the 30th November the Russian Admiral, Machinoff, with sixteen ships of the line, appeared off the Jf Sinope, and forthwith proceeded to attack the Turkish force that he found there. After an engagement of one hour's duration, he liad destroyed seven Turkish frigates, two corvettes, one steamer, and three transports. The larger vessels destroyed had each S00 soldiers, besides artillerymen on board, and a large sum of money, being bound for the east coast of the Black Sea. The Turkish admiral's frigate was towed out by the Russians, but sunk at sea. Osman Pacha and his suite were taken on board the Russian admiral's ship.

One Turkish vessel managed to escape undamaged, being the only survivor of the fourteen. The battle, says the dispatch, begun at an hour's distance from Sinope. The Russian flag-ship was so much injured that it could with difficulty reach SebastopoL Prince Menchikoff immediately left Odessa for St Petersburg, to communicate the victory to the Emperor. We alread3' knew that Osman was charged with the conveyance of troops and stores to Batoum. Accounts said, "charged with a few steam frigates, with the escort of six or even transports of troops," There is therefor every probability that leaving the harbor of Sinope he fell in with the Russian squadron, and either accepted battle on ur qual terms, or attempted to regain the protection of the land batteries, but was cut to pieces before teaching The latter is the more likely, that one ship is reported to have escaped "undamaged," having, no doubt, succeeded in gaining shelter under the shore gun.

The above report of the victory was brought to Odessa by a Russian aidc-le-camp of MenchikofT, and from Odessa it was telegraphed to Vienna. The confirmation came from Bucharest and other Russians sources. But here is The Other S'uhlhe Russian Fleet Almost Cut to Pieces Seven of the Xnijis Sunk, Burned or Destroyed. Having given I he Russian account of the bittle, we learn by a te'egraphie dispatch received at Paris, on the I2th instant, that the Russian force considerably outnumbered the Turkish. In addition to the six ships of the line mentioned in the Jfoniteur, as the strength of Madiinoff's fleet, lie had twelve frigates, a brig, and live steamers, in all twenty-four sail, while Osman had but fourteen.

The Turks fought with the most desperate bravcry and caused the Russians the loss in sunk and burned, of two ships of the line, three frigates, and two steamboats. The shore batteries were totally inef ficient for protedion. The remaining Russian ships were so badly disabled that they could take no prizes and with difficulty made their way back to Sebastopol. The Allied Fieri. While this calamity is befall-fng the Turkish the English and fleets are lyinj idle in the Bosphorus.

And, yet more extraordinary, the main division of the Turkish fleet is lying there idle too! Admiral Slade, the Englishman who commanded if, has just returned front a pleasant cruise in the Black Sea, having been unable to find an enemy, although merchantmen report having seen several Russian ships of war prowling about. So Admiral Slade and the British and French admirals solace themselves by giving each other dancing parties Thr War in Europe. Our agent at Liverpool succedeil in obtaining and placing on board the "America," for Halifax, the following dispatch, which we find now in the London papers by this arrival: 'The latest news from the Danube states that two companies of Wallachian militia had succeeded in crossing the river during the night and deserting to Omar Pasha. They gave some important information respecting the Russian movements, and report the Russian army as being far from so effective as the Russian Bulletins declare."

The Turkish navy "had given a brilliant entertainment, which lasted Hyo days, to the Admirals of the French and English squadrons, on board the Turkish flag ship Mahmoudieh. Other accounts from Constantinople state that a deputation from the Mussulman tribes of Mingrelia had arrived there. The Asiatic tribes had declared acrainst Russia. This deputation had been received by Rescind Pacha, and was to be presented to the Sultan.

J7ie War in Asia. The folkiwing letter from Er7orum, Nov. 12, a summary of recent proceedings All Yasidigi enters this city to-morrow morning; and, morover, the three regiments of cavalry of the Arabian army are hourly expected from karpout.

A Russian division, consisting ol 300 cavalry from the Camp at Voly Chair, surprised on November 5th the village of Cadela. The Turkish irregulars repulsed them as far as the stream dividing the frontier, but when least expecting it, cncounteied a body of 2,000 Russian infantry. The affray was conducted with bayonets and "ramas," and the Russians completely routed, lied in the direction of Alkiska, the Turks returned to Badela. Next morning, at break of da-, the Turks, from the neighboring villages, amounting to 3,000, besides 400 regular cavalry, crossed thefrontier, and eslablished their camp at Voly Chtir on the Russian territory. Arrived, their numbers increased by a thousand irregulars of the Cablian Russian subjects, and from the villages of Sckaltpila, the two Gczal, Giasraan, Bekasnn, and others at present in the hands of the Russians, but belonging to Pascon previous to the delineation of the frontier.

The commander, with threo battalions and one cannon proceeded from Ardahau to Voly Chair, and was reinforced with four battalions of Nizam and 2,200 irregulars, besides 13 pieces of artillery in the same locality. On November 3rd, 1,500 Kurds, irregulars, guarding the frontier of Bayzard, were attacked by a division of a thousand Russians, who, after a long struggle, were forced to retreat with a loss of 80 prisoners, one a captain, and a considerable number killed and wounded. Nine heads weresentto Bay-sard. On the same day, three battalions repaired from that town with 8,000 irregulars to the scene of action. The day before yesterday Kerim Pacha, of the Arabian -army, arrived her to take the command uftwelvo battalions ftom Trlbizond, with three rcghneuts of cavalry, and one ui artillery expected fiom Karpout.

The health of the nrtuy is in general excellent thatSelim Pacta, of BatoHm, having taken Che'lkejil, as you arc aware, marched on Urtug-het and. after thteo fruitless assaults, succeded at length in occupying that post, and routed 8,000 Russians defending it The commander now demands four battalions from 3vars, to leave a sufficient garrison in Urzughet, and advanced on to Koutaus, guarded by 10.000 Bussians, whereof the majority are (jeorgatns, and promise to jom the Tuiks. Should Selim Pacha succeed in this enterprise, and winter his lorces with the neighboring Circassians, which, it appears, is his object, it will become a most serious affair for Russia. In the affray of Badela, the loss of the Turks was200 wounded and 300 killed; that of the Russians, though great, is not actually known. Tlie Russian subjects who have remained here under Austrian protection are well treated by the population and authorities.

Provisions ot all sorts are in great abundance, and prices as heretofore. Jsttest hy Mail at Liverpool. Effect of the Xews in Paris. Private letters from Paris state that the news of the disaster to the Turkish fleet was received with the profoundest astonishment and grief. The Emperor is stated to have been overwhelmed by the intelligence.

Explanation is imperatively demanded why a considerable part of the Turkish naval force was permitted to be annihilated within so short a distance of where the powerful English and French fleets were ryingin inglorious ease; also, why the Englishman, Slade, reported that, four days before th'i3 disaster, he "could not find an enemy!" The Very Latent By Electric Telegraph from London. We have received news from Constantinople, by Vienna, down to the 3d instant The news of the disaster off Sinope is officially confirmed, and had ju3t reached the Porte. Upon the receipt of this information, the British and French ambassadors had immediately dispatched two steam frigates from the combined squadrons to Sinope, and two other steam frigates to Yarna, for tho purjKse of procuring precise intelligence. Upon tlie return of these vessels, it waa thought probable that the combined fleets would receive orders to enter the Black sea, to prevent, if possible, any further collision between the Russian and Turkish naval forces. It is stated by the Russian accounts that the squadron subsequently destroyed at Sinope was engaged in conveying forces to attack Soucham Kalsha, and that it was pursued into the port of Sinope by the Russian fleet If this account of the circumstances preceding the engagement be correct, it would give a somewhat different character to tho attack, as the Russian forces might be justified in interrupting a convoy destined to invade a portion of their own territory.

The destination of the squadron is, however, still uncertain; and it is more probable that the transports were conveying reinforcements and provisions to Batoum, where the Turkish array stands in need of both. It is reported that the British Charge d' Affaires of Teheran has suspended his diplomatic relations with the Persian government, in consequence of that power having resolved, as it is said, to take part against the Porte and to march an army to the frontier. This movement on the part of the Shah of Persia had for some time been apprehended, as his relations with Turkey were such as to induce him to take advantage of the increasing difficulties of the Ottoman Empire. The news, however, s.tiU requires positive confirmation. The iforniiiij Post states that a Constantinople telegraphic despatch of the 3d reports the prevalence of great alarm and excitement, owing to the news from Sinope.

The account given of the action is substantially the same as the Russian. The fleets were bound to enter the Black Sea. Persia had declaied war against Turkey. The Post's leading article says that there can hardly exist a doubt that the admirals had by this time entered, and are now in full command of the Black Sea. With respect to the Persian declaration of war against Turkey, this is the natural consequence of a treaty offensive and defensive between Persia and Russia concluded some months ago.

It adds a new complication. The various letters published in English aud Continental papers are interesting, but do not contain much that is not already known. Peace Xotes. In face of these active hostilities we have the usual statements that negotiations are progressing. Under date, Vienna, 7th, it is asserted that Austria and Prussia declined signing the new draft of a note until France and England promised to insist on the Divan accepting that note, independently of a collective demonstration.

Says tlie dispatch, "it is now thought that the Porte will accept the note, and Austria hopes to obtain for that document the sanction of the Czar." Of date the 8th, it is added, "the new plan of mediation corresponds with Lord Bedcliffe's note of October, tho consideration which was adjourned by the commencement of hostilities." The following is about the latest opinion of Austria, as expressed by her representative: The Emperor of Bussia demands that the Greek rite and clergy continue to enjoy their spiritual privileges; and this, it is exptessly understood, under the of the Sultan. He declares, moreover, that there is no wish on his part to infringe on the independence and sovereign rights of the Sultan, or to inteilere in the affairs of the Ottoman empire. All that Russia desires is the assurance to maintain the strict religious statu quo relatively to the great rite, viz; An entire equality of immunities between the Greek and other Christian communions subject to tlie Porte; and the enjoyment in favor ol the Greek cb-jj 0f those advantages already accorded to communities, as well as the participation ti10SP wLjch the s. tanuiay hereafter grar It Json this basis that the cabinet ol St. PeteDUr js reajy to resume the negotiations and directly with the Ottoman negotiations whereof, in its opinion, the ceat may be conveniently fixed at Bucharest.

Meanwhile, the Eniporor of Russia, notwithstanding the declaration of war by the Sublime Porte, has announctd the intention of changing nothing in his present attitude, and has given orders that his troops remain on the defensive. Fully convinced that his Majesty the Sultan, on his side, hus nothing more at heart than to put an end as promptly as possible to the effusion of blood which has unfortunately already commenced, and that he is consequently determined to maintain the points conceded to Russia in former manifestations of the Porte, the Cabinet of Vienna, in confronting these intentions with those of the Emperor of Russia, expresses a hope that negotiations, preceded by an armistice, will not fail to bring about a sincere reconciliation. (Signed) BUOL DE S. WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. Interesting Movements in Conokess.

The resolution directing the Committee on Naval A flairs to enquire into and report on the propriety of dispensing with four of the navy yards of tlie Government introduced into the House by Mr. Houston, a few days since, has created much excitement in Washington, more expressly among tlie Congressional friends of the Portsmouth, N. Sackett's Hatbor, N. Philadelphia and Memphis yards; which, it is presumed by many, could not be dispensed with, if any. However, we have little idea any such measure can become a law, though perseverance might surx-ririduce Congress, tye imagine, to dispense with the and probably" the Sackett's Harbor varus.

The fact that such "proposition has been stated, bids fair to bring a considerable increase of the lobby upon us; those interested in tiie location of, and" work in. the navy yards of the country, being proveibially very active on occasions before Congress, touching their interests-The same gentleman. (Mr. Houston,) also made, another move, on the same day, which will doubtless give the officers of the marine corps the fidgets for some time to come, in proposing to reduce their extra allowances to those ol otlicers of the navy. At present they receive, according to rank, such al lowances as are paid to officers of the army.

We shall by no mean3 be surprised to find that measuro meeting with great favor in both branches of Congress. Mr. Houston also introduced a third such proposition, viz: to hereafter pay the army officers all their emoluments in money. That is, to pay them in round sums, according to grade; striking from the nomenclature of the service the allowances for servants, rations, (more tlian one,) horses If we understand this last proposition correctly, Mr. Houston does not propose to decrease the actual emoluments of officers of the army, but rather to stite them in a simple way, so that any one, at a glance, may know precisely how much in money they receive for their services.

No gentlemen take more lively interest in the doings of Congress wherein the latter are likely to affect their own interests than do the officers of the Army aud Navy of the United States. Under these circumstances they will, doubtless, take due care to let Congress know their views upon all three of these (to them) so especially interesting topics. Extra Pat Granted to a Deserter. In a case not long since adjudicated in tlie Treasury Department, it was decided that an infantry soldier, serving as a marine, who participated in the action on Lake Erie, between the American and British squadrons, on the 11th of September, 1814, waa held to t)a entitled to the threv month's extra pay (fronted by-the joint resolution of October 20, 1814, notwithstanding ho subsequently deserteds The resolution gives all who, on the occasion of McDonough's victory, "so gloriously supported the honor of the American flagon that memorable entirely omits the condition of ait ''honorable, prescribed by all other acts granting extra as a prerequisite to the allowance.

There exists a very strong disposition among members of both Houses, to carry out the very recent determi- nation of the Committee of Ways and Means, i (in reporting the annual mail stsamer' aopro- pnation bill.) to renort. a nroDOsition to o-ivo the required six month's notice for the discontinuance of the Government's additional compensation to tlie Collin's line. It is understood that no opposition was manifested to this proposition in the Committee of Ways and Means, though some of its members, at least, are believed not to sanction it with their judgment The knowledge that the majority were against them, probably alone induced them to decline' wasting time in fruitless opposition to it there. If the directors of the Collins line can show that the same necessity for this additional compensation exists at this time, which appears to be doubted by man', they may possibly make a successful fight against the committee's recommendation as great sympathy for their enterprise manifestly pervades the commercial community in all directions, that interest having deservedly" great weight with Congress. We may not inappropriately add that the "Shanghai" and "Ebony" lines have, apparently poor prospects for this winter.

Members Gone Off. According to the annual custom, at least a fourth of the Members of both Houses have taken their departure from Washington, to spend the holidays by thei; respective firesides, or within a day's ride of us. There will be nothing done in Congress of general interest or importance until after the 1st proximo, as it will be rare to find a quorum of either House present un-tU then. Though Washington is apparently graced with the presence of an unusual throng of strangers, even now, wo are destined after that time to have twice as many among us; or the signs are deceptive. Congress cannot approach any question of public interest in these days, without touching chords, as it were, which vibrate upon the nerves of the capitalist? of the country from Maine to California, bringing them or their agents herein crowds, of course.

We presume that the question by this time has been laid before the Attorney General for his advice- LATE FROM MEXICO. Our telegraphic dispatches yesterday, container news of the arrival of the- Texas, at New Orkans, fromVera Cruz.

The New Orleans papers bring fuller accounts, from which we extract tne following: The chief feature of the intelligencebroughtby the Texas is in relation to the acceptance of the act of Guadalajara by Santa Anna. On the lGth lie issued his proclamation to this effeci. The terms of it are, that he will continue invested with hispresent powers as long as he shall judge necessary, that he shall have power to elect his successor, and that the President shall in future hear the title of Most Serene Highness. On the following day he issued a long addtess in vrliich he depicts in characteristic terms the deplorable state of the country when he was recalled to resume the supreme power, and the exertions he has made to ameliorate it. He declares that he has accepted the act of Guadalajara only because he sees it desired by the wealth and influence of the Wiioje Republic, andbecausehe believes it necessary for the preservation and improvement of the country.

He expresses gratitude for tho honor which the nation bj. conferred upon him, and a resolution to back to the Republic, the days of real ar substantial happiness, Tlie Mexican papers pretend to give specific intelligence of the movements making against their territories on the Pacific As a sample of how much they know of them, one of the papers magnifies the force under Col.

They aro as much in the dark over yonder as you are in New Orleans, with respect to an attempt upon the integrity of their country. A correspondent of the Picayune speaking of the negotiations in progress between our Minister and Santa Anna's government complains that the former has been embarrassed by the Mexican ministry getting a peep into his "hand" or in other words, by their getting, through the aid of parties in this coun try all lu's private instructions from Washington, i about as soon as he gets them himself.

The corres- pondent says: The New York ire raid published the instructions given to our Minister when ha left Washington. After arriving hero, pains were taken to impress upon him that this government had the mean3 of know ing the contents of all correspondence in the State Department Gen. G. could not believe this possi- i ble, but recently a special bearer of despatches ar- i rived, and before he could reacii thecapitol, the substance of his despatches was forwarded from Vera Cruz immediately on the arrivalof the Texas, by the express mail, and was in the hands of the Minister of Foreign Relations within 24 hours. The Americans are now convinced of the truth of these representations.

The Mexican government therefore, knowing the policy and wishes of our Cabinet, appoint a commission to hear from our Government that which they know already. When these propositions lire made in a public and official form, it remains for the Mexican cabinet to say whether they will treat and take the money or publish the offer as an insult anil go in for the glory of having refused to entcrtainsuch base overtures.

Some silly persons consider it a disgrace to szve rags.
