STARTLING! NEWS.
The nows of this morning is of unusual inter
est and importance.
Tho War news from Europe, by tho steamer
Pacific, will bo isad with deep interest nnd many
regrets. Tho loss of tho Turks in tho naval bat
tlo iB very heavy, - as will be seen by our tole
graph reports, which wo published in an extra
yesterday. From tho account it will bo seen
that oat of fourteen Turkish ships thirteen wero
sunk nnd destroyed. What became of the re
maining one, is not told. Nothing conld illus
trate more forcibly tho valor and desporation of
tho Turks, than such a result of a naval battle.
No. quarter asked, no surrender proposed, no
■hope of n victory, for they were far out number
ed ; yet they fought with tho energy of despair
till they perished. •
No record of a naval battle equals this. Thir
teen ont of fonrtcen ships destroyed ; each ship
having, according to the report, eomo eight hun
dred-Boldierg on. board, besides the crews. It is
a heavy loss for tho Snltan. But tho Russian
loss is but little less. They lost two line of bnt
tlc ships. It.docs not appear that there was any
line of battle ship in tho Turkish fleet. Two
Bussian.steamers and three frigates also destroy
ed, and the balance of the Russian fleet so shat
tered that they could scarcely reach their port.
Yet this vast destruction of lifo and property,
was accomplished in an hour!
The result of this groat battle, though adverso
to tbo Turks, encourages our hopes in behalf of
the Ottoman Empire. If thus the Ottomans will do
battle every where they cannot bo subdued. Al'
tho power of Russia cannot crush a nation ani
mated by snob desperate valor. The best part,
and the largest part of tho Turkish fleet is still
safe; and wo hope tho rcsnlt of this battle will
draw out the French and English fleets from
their dastardly and faithless.innctivity, while the
fleet of their allies is being destroyed.
The account of a riot at Cincinnati, and anoth
er great firo in New York, will also be found un
der our telegraphic head.
SHIP GREAT REPUBLIC.
Our telegraph report of tho great fire in Now
York yesterday, states that tho ship Groat Re
publio Is burned. Wo supposo this was the great
ship - jnßt completed by Mr. MoKay, of Boston,
It was the largest ship in tho world, and could
carry five thousand tons. It was nearly loaded
with Soar, the report says. Our readers can
form some estimate of the loss, when told that
that ship coaid carry nearly forty thousand bar
rels of. Hour. Nearly a week Ago it was stated
that 23,000 barrels wero already engaged. Tho
freight on one cargo of flour to Liverpool by
that ship would have amounted to $35,000.
She was owned entirely by Mr. MoKay, her
.builder. She is 325 feet long, 53 feotwido, nnd
39 deep. ;

TITLES IN THE UNITED STATES.
A bill has passed the Senate authorizing the
President of the United States to confer- the
title of Lieutenant General, by brevet* on Gen.
Winfield Scott. .
We are rather surprised at thehaßte with
which this bill got through tho Senate. Wo
hope the:House t of Representatf?cs will consider
the matter more deliberately.
If titles without any necessity, or public exi
gency demanding them, are to bo conferred on
meritorious citizens of this republio, why not, at
onoe, make. Dukes, Mnrqhlseß, Earls, Visootints,
&0- ? Cortainly there ia:no oall for the appoint
ment of a Lieutenant General at the present
time. It is obviously merely an honorary title,
to he conferred for past services, and notan
office required by any publio policy or necessity.
If Licntennnt Genercls arc needed, then give
us a few Lord Admirals. Lot our faithful pub
lic servants, military, naval and civil, bo satis
fied with simple republican honors ; or olso let
the growing desire for old world titles bo grati
fied at onco by tho creation of orders of nobility,
legions of honor, and boards of admiralty.
If plain, constitutional republicanism, nnd
its orders and dogrees, will not satisfy onr ci?i
zens, of high or low dogroo and station, then let
the chango be made at onco, nnd European or
ders of nobility bo openly proclaimed. Tho
people.will then, understand it; and be ablo to
decide for themselves whether such high sound
ing and unnecessary titles Bhall bo conferred on
eminent citizens.
There is, in our opinion, not a particle of
difference between making General Soott Lieut.
General at the present time, aud making him
Duke of Now Jersey or New York.
Wo may be denounced as vltra, but wo are de
termined democratic republicans, and will over
remainsuch.
Gen. Soott has sorved tho ropublia faithfully
as a military officer; and has received tho highest
honors and commission known to our laws. If
those honors aud that commission are not suffi
cient rewards, then let the claims of other pnb
lio servants be considered at tho Bamo time.
Clay, Calhoun, Wehster, Wright, Doeatur, and
Stewart; did not they servo tho oountry equally
faithfully, in their several stations, and accord
ing to their several opinions and ability ? Worth,
Taylor, Riley, Duncan, aud many others ; did
not they do all their duty ? Who can deny it?
Why Bhall one of those men be honored, at tho
expense of republicanism, while all tho rest go
to their graves with only such honors as the peo
ple see fit to "bestow ?
Tiio people are tho rulers, and they decided,
fourteen months ago, not to give Gen. Scott a
higher title. Shall our Congressmen reverse
that decision ?
Wc would honor Gen. Scott for his eminent
servioes; but we would confer no titles unknown
to tho constitution, and apo no European
fashions. Puro and elmplo republicanism is
certainly at a discount on the North American
oontinent jest now. Santa Anna is to be pro
claimed Dictator iu Mexico, and probably Em
peror; and General Scott Lieutenant General in
tho United States. The title of Dictator gives
Santa Anna no more power than ho now pos
sesses. Tho title of Lieutenant General will
give Gen. Soott no more pay than he now re
ceives ; and no higher command in oar army.
Tho title then is wholly unnecessary; and is de
signed merely as a compliment. The title of
Duke or Lord General would not be moro so.
Wo bolievo that, wero Generals Taylor or Worth
living, and such titles offered them, they would
decline them, aud say they were not too great to
be republicans. Crcmr becamo too great for
a republican, nnd be nssnmed tbo title of
Emperor, and tbo Roman republic was at an
end.
Has not Gen. Cass served tho country faith
fully, and with great ability for near half a een
turyr Why not make him Lord General, too?
If Clay and Webster wero olive what should bo
dono for them ? Shall the sword alono bo
honored, and services be for
gotten ? Ono would suppose it honor enough to
be tho highest military officer in one of the great
est nations of the world. Such is ®sn Scott’s
position now. It is enough.

MEMOIRS OF ROBERT STOBO.—This iB a
Pittsburgh book. Its author is one of our old
est aud most respected citizens and writers.
This little volumo of 100 pages will be read with
much interest. Robert Stobo, a native of Scot
land, settles in Virginia, becomes Captain of ouo
company of tho Virginia regiment ; acts as en
gineer at Fort Necessity; is delivered as an host
age, and remains at Fort Duquesne for some
timo, from whenoo ho writes letters, and sendß
a plan of Fort Duquesno to Washington. This
plan is published in this hook, as also A plan of
tho grounds around tho Fort. All Pittsburghers
should see it. Thoy will find some oorn-fields
laid down where com cannot grow now. Upon
tho defeat of Braddock, his papers are fonnd,
'and among, them aro the letters of Stobo to
Washington. Ho is sent to Quebec, tried and
sentenced to execution. The Frenoh king dis
approves tho sentence. Stoboremains in prison
some months, and . then escapes, and after some
romantic adventures, joins Wolfe’s expedition
against Qnebeo. no is sent to Boston, and thenoe
to England,-whore he has an interview with
William Pitt, .and returns to this conntry. This
book is interesting not only as a narrative of
personal adventures, but as a brief and authen
tic history of the Btirring times, in which Stobo
acted no unimportant part. It is well worth a
perusal.

Decision of Steamboat Inspectors.
Pittsburgh, Deo. 17th, 1853.
In tho case of Appeal of William Fish from
the decision of tho Local Board of Inspectors
for the Port of Pittsburgh, suspending bis li
cense as Pilot for thirty days for improper con
duct in piloting the steamer Cuba, whilst being
in contaot and locked with the steamer Naviga
tor, on tho morning of the 9th Deo., 1853. I
find, from tho testimony taken in tho case, which
I havo carefully examined, that the Cuba came
alongside the Navigator in the vicinity of Pen
nywaito’s bars—both boats coming up tho river,
somo mile or two below Concord; tbo latter
placo being on the Kentucky side. 'When the
boats first oamo together, thoy wero near the
Ohio shore, tho Cnba being next the shore, ns
close to it as sho conld well run, tho Navigator
being in the channel of tho river. Tho boats
were running bead and head, the bows nearly
even. The Cuba was required to land at Con
cord, and therefore was obliged to eross tho
river. The Navigator did not wish to land there,
nnd her proper course when paesing’that place, -
was near tho middle of the river. It is clearly
proven that tho Navigator was forced across the
river by the Cuba, until eho was in close prox
imity to the Kentucky shoro. This was done
by tho Pilot on the Cuba, Mr. Fish holding his
boat hard against tho Navigator, and forcing her
over and out of the regular course in the river,
which sho was entitled to navigate.
When it became necessary for the Cuba to stop
for the purpose of making hor landing at Con
cord, Mr. Fish took the proper measures to do
so, but an Sbcidont occurring to the bell rope,
ho did not effect Mb object at tho moment. But
by making use of tho speaking trumpet to tho
engineer, tho boat was soon afterwards stoppod
and backed. Id consequence, bowevor, of the
position in which tho Cuba had placed herself—
being angling across tho river, tho stern out, and
tho bows stilt against tho Navigator,—her stop
ping at that time caused a raking of the Naviga
tor, which broke several of hor stanchcons near
tho cylinders, and endangered the breaking of
the cylinders and steam-pipes, which would havo
placed life m peril.
This being a truo statement of the case, ac
cording to tbo evidence, I bold that the conduot
of Mr. Eiali was improper.
Ist. By forcing tho Navigator across tho river,
and ont of hor regular conrso of travel. . Tho
Cuba had no right to molest tho Navigator,
while she was pursuing her regular legitimate
oonrso of travel. It is very clear that the Cuba
could at any time, by straightening np, have let
tho Navigator pass unharmed.
(I would here state, that in tho evidences giv
en in this ease, by some of onr best and most
respectable Pilots, it was stated that they Saw
nothing wrong in the conduct of Mr. Fish, and
thought ho had a perfect right to force tho Navi
gator across tho river, if sho wnß in his way,
and ho conld do it. 1 regard these statements
from such men, as going a long way to show the
great necessity of wholesome laws and regnla
lations to govern our steamboat navigation, and
tho strict enforcement of such laws and regula
tions.)
2d. Mr. Fißh was dearly in the wrong, by
stopping his boat, without first straightening up
ami permitting the boats to come apart. For it
is proven, by the evidence of experienced pilots,
taken in this caso, that stem-wheel boats, such
as these were, cannot bo kept together, unless
held together by the pilots. At the time of the
stopping of the Cnba, tho Navigator was crowded
near the Kentuoky shore, and the Cuba’s stern
was angling across the river. It is true, the
mate of the Cuba testifies to Air. Fish having
slacked up tho wheel to bring tho Cnba away
from the Navigator, at tho tinio of the breaking
of tho hell rope. But it is also in evidence, and
the resnlt shows tho fact, that tho Cuba was
stopped before sho was brought away.
On the other hand, it nppears that Mr. Fish
has borne, heretofore, nn unblemished charac
ter, both as a man and as a pilot, nor is he ao
-1 cuecd, In this case, of harboring any evil design
against tho Navigator, or intending to do any
thing that would materially injure that boat.
The act of crowding the Navigator towards the
Kentucky shore, seems to bo the result of a be
lief, on his part, that ho had tbo right to do so.
However erroneous such opinions may be, it
would appear from some of tho evideaco that
Eome of our best pilots act upon this principle.
Under these considerations, and taking into
the account the small amount of damage actu
ally dono to the Navigator, I am induced—in
this, the first of this character that has come
under my notice—to commute the timo of sus
pension to tho shortest period that has been
heretofore inflicted in any caso arising under the
present law.
Therefore, my decision is, that tho suspension
of the license of William Fish, as pilot, bo con
tinued for the period of ten days only, from the
15th day of Deoember inst.

A TRAVELER.
Ugly vs. Uatv. —ln the eastern part of Dela
ware county, in —■ State, there resided a man
by the namo of B , now a justice of tho
peace, and a very sensible man, bnt by common
consent tbo ngliest looking individual in tho
whole conntry, being long, gaunt, sallow, and
awry, with a gait liko a kangaroo- One day he
was a hunting, and on one of tho mountain roads
ho met a man on foot and alono, who was longer,
gaunter, uglier, by nil odds than himself. He
conld give the "Squire” fifty and beat him.
Without saying a word 15 raised his gun,
and deliberately levelled it at tho stronger. - "For
God’s sake, don’t shoot,” Bhoutcd tho man in
great alarm.
“Stranger,” replied B , "I sworo tea
years ago, that if I ever mot n man uglier than
I was, I’d shoot him, and you are tho first one
I’ve Been.” Tho stranger, after taking a care
ful survey of his “rival,” replied, “Wal, if I look
worse than you do, shoot; I don’t want to live
any longer!”
Venango County — Conscience. —Alottor, post
marked “Pennsylvania Railroad,” containing
$2O was received throngh the post-offico at? this
placo last week by Hon. A. McCalmont; accom
panied by the following laconic epistle—“ TMb
belongs to yon.”
Some poor fellow, no donbt, had obtained this
amount of the Judgo at some weak period of his
existenoe, withont giving value therefor, and in
order to relievo Mb oonscience of tho woight that
pressed upon it, withont oxposinghis name, took
this method of effecting it. It is a good exam
ple, and ono wo would rocommond to the adop
tion of eomo other Christian citizens we know,
if wo thought it would bo of any avail; but wo
have no notion that Buch a suggestion would bo
well received in that quarter, and therefore do
not “ cast pearls boforo swine.” —Franklin Spec
tator.
Important to Postmasters and Others.—
Tho Union states that, by reoent instructions of
the Postmaster General, the exchange offices of
Now York and Boston aro required to report
every postmaster taking wrong rates of poßtngo
on letters to foreign countries. It appears that,
besides other errors, a groat many letters for tho
continent of Europe, marked to go “ via Liver
pool,” or “via England,” arc taken by offices in
the interior at rates applicable only to the direct
Bremen line. This, of course, onuses confusion,
and often results in loss to tho Bonder. — Balti

Eaas by the/Hundreds, —Wo wore much
amusod last evening, while paying a hasty visit
to Slane’s Glass Works, at Bouth Boston, to
witness the attempt .of a glass-blower to beat the
greatest exploit of the hen tribe. He was em
ployed in making glass eggs by the hundreds.
These eggs are made in oxaot imitation of real
eggs, and are used by those keeping fowls, as
nest eggs. The workman was at work fulfilling
an order for 600 dozen, all for the Boston mar
ket. He could with ease blow 100 an hour, a
rate which poor biddy would find it hard to
equal. —Boston Traveler.

Schr. B. L. Allen. —This vessel, which arri
ved from Realijo, having pat into Acapalco, was
there seized, and the captain and mate impris
oned by the Mexican authorities, because the
names of three of the passengers were not en
tered on the manifest'. In conseqaenco of this
inadvortehce, the vessel was detained several
days. The movements of the Americans are now
regarded with the utmost jealousy and watch
fulness in every portion of the Mexican Bepnblio.
Tug Mires.—The past fortnight has been a
very important one for the miners. The rain
has filled the gulches and raised the rivers, and
the works of tho dry season aro closed.
The diggings in ,tho river bods have been
abandoned, and in many cases valuable dams,
flames, eta., have been swept away, although
the rise has not been great. The miners now
look back upon and count their profits and los
ses for the lost six monthß.
For tho Morning Post.
The shipments show that undiminished
amounts of gold have been produced, yet many
of the diggers complain that they havo spent
much money in canaling, machinery, cto., and
have mado little.
Tho flames which have not been carried off
are being taken down to bo used next year.
The miners are pretty well prepared for the
winter, and if it be favorable, the golden har
vests will be richer than over.-
Somo miners having no good prospect for the
winter, are preparing for next summer. Canals,
to be finished by June, havo been commenced on
tho North Tuba, and North fork of tho American
river.
Many similar enterprises have been planned,
and they will have a very important effect on
tho prosperity and produoe of tho mines.
New diggings have been found in a number of
points, but nothing extensive.
Near Minnesota, in Sierra county, the tunnels
pay very well. A lead 200 feet wide, evidently
once the bed of a Btream, has been found nnder
a mountain, and COO feet abovo the lovel of the
Middle Yuba, near by.
In this lead aro found tha remains of trees,
some rotten, others petrified, others changed in
to a mineral resembling sulphate of iron.
Several valuable quartz veins have been open
ed in El Dorada; and some discoveries havo been
made in Calaveras which, it is thought, will raise
the luttor to a high position among the quartz
counties.

W it is due to KIEK’S to

every vestage of this dreadful disease in less time than any
other remedy, and at leas cost or Inconvenience to thepa
tient .
The thousands of certificates in the hands of the proprie
tor, many of which are from well known citizens of the city
of Pittsburgh and its immediate vicinity, go to show clearly
and beyoi' \U doubt, that Kxer’s Petholicw is a medicine
of no coir, .on value, not only as a local remedy in ftxraly
tit. Rheumatism, Deafness, lota of Sight, but as a valuable
internal remedy, inviting tho investigating physicians, os
well as the suffering patient, to becomeacquainted with its
merits.
Those having a dread of mixtures are assured that this
medicine Is purely natural, andis bottled osit flows from
the bosom of the earth.
Thefollowing certificate is copied from a paper published at
Syracuse, JV. Y n arul heart dale August 2, 1852, to which it
alto appended the certificated/ihtedebratid D. Y.PootjM.D.,
(/Syracuse:
This may in truth certify, that Ihavo been so badly af

and much of the time unable to walk and confined to my

Physicians our country affords; I occasionally got ,«ome re

recommended mo to try the Petroleum, or Rock Oil, aa.eve

the effect was astonishing; it threw tho poison to the surface
at once, and I at once began to grow butter, and by . using
seven bottles I have got a euro worth thousand* ofdoHars.
This may certify that I have been acquainted with Kiel’s
Petroleum, or Rock Oil, for more than a year, and have re
peatedly witnessed its beneficial effects in the cure of indo

gentlemanly fitting garment. Hence it is that so few.

the exigencies of its wearer—thoroughly attaining thatele
gnuce of fit which thespirit of the age dictates.
