PITTSBURGH, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 26
ML: CLAY AK], THE TARIFF.---ONCE
Advocate has an article is reply to our comments on
Mr. Clay'e letter, in which. the editor'makes a most
weak attempt to keep up the delusive idea that HEN
RY CLAY is alone worthy the support of_ those who
think a Tariff essential to our prosperity. Iu our re
lent**, we stated that Mr. CLAY concurred in
serti
moats with the gentlemen from whom the democratic.
convexities; tironld select their candidate; that he had
agreed that' Tariff for Revenue with incidental pro
tectiop, was.the proper policy, and that the manufactu
ring ititeraltuta as much to expect from one as the
otberof the aspirants. •
• The Advocate has gratuitously assumed that either
VAN BURER or CALHOUN 'from appearances will be the
moo,' and thereupon undertakes to show that these
genthtmen are not friendly to a Tariff for Revenue.—
Now, - if the Advocate had paid any attention to our
paper, it would have learned that for some time past,
wehave not considered Mr. CALHOUN as one whose
claimashonld bepassed upon by the National Cnnven
tion. Theleading friends of that gentleman had pla
ced him in n pOsition - which would exclude him from
a place among those from whom the democratic party
would Maki, their selection, and thereford we could
have no allusion to him, as long a= he remains in that
position.
But notwithstanding this,the Advocate has given us
noeiidence that Mr. Calhoun is hostile to a pea manent
Revenue Tariff, or would with old his sanction to such
arneasure were he elected Presicleat. An extract, of a
letter is giv.en, in which Mr. Calhoun says he is ,de
' eidedly opposed to a Tariffor the protection of ma n
itfatturers.' We understand by this, that Mr. C.
vrottl4l oppose any scale of duties avowedly and exclu
sively to protect certain interests, and we venture to
say. that Mr. CLAY would do the same. Indeed it
would be difficult to find a public man. that would
- come into Corigro - ss or before the people with such im
practicable opinions at this time of day. But Mr'Cal
boartdoesaotsaithatheis opposed to a TarillfOr RCO
einge—tior do we believe that he or his constituents are
prepared at this time to 'submit to a direct tax for the
support of. the general govermnent, which ;bey would
hive to do "if a Revenue Tariff be rejected.
The Advocaats admits the difficulty of proving that
Mr. VAR Buttes differs from Mr. CLAY on this sub
ject, and assigns as a reason the non-committal policy
of that gentleman. We will not stop to vindicate Mr.
V. B. against this stale and silly charge—the very fact
that the federalists uniformly treat him as an enemy,
proves clearly enough that he is always committed a
gainst them and their darling projects. But the evi
dence they adduce to prove that Mr. V. B. is hostile

notice. When Congress meets, the Advocate will dis-
cover that some of the sincerest friends of a Revenue
Tariff are not for the present Tariff, as it stands. All
that the Advocate has made out (provided the N. Y.
Tribune has - quoted Ivir Van Buren fairly) is, that he is A TUTOR KILLED.—JOHN B. DWIGHT, a Tutor

The Diamond, of the 15th, says the fire broke out
i n the roar of Col. BARNES' Mdiclence, on St. Paul
street, between Common and Gravier. Soon after the
alarm was given, the wind hauled, and the flames
spread t apidly in every direction. They caught a row
of small frame buiklings. on St. Peter street. known as
••1' rerres flow," owned. by Mr. Communi. They
were soon destroyed. The fire then progress.ed down
fitavirr street towards the swamp, with great fury—
crossed to the opposite side. and almost simultaneously
caught sonic frame,, on the side of St. Peter street that
had thus far been spared.
The fury of the devouring element was now at its
height, and being favored by a breeze that appeared to
increase in force every moment. nothing could impede
' its progress. About sixty 5 o slings. s one of them
nearly new, were consumed. The 1114 ht. was cold, and
it was with considerable difficulty the furniture of a
portion of the inhabitants could be saved. A number
wet' lift entirely destitutc—houseless and penniless.
Fourteen fratno houses on St. Paul streets, eleven on
: Gravier street (lower siile,) four on upper side of same
s treet, seven on St. Peter street, with back buildings,
were razed to the ground,
We could not obtain an exact list of the suffer
ers. Many of the families are poor butindustrims and
respectable, and we have heard the names of a number
of arri.ans who have by this dire calamity lost the
firuits of years of industry.

The loss is variously estimated from oue hundred to
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. The insurance
on the property was Arrrtll. The principal sufferers
are, Wm. Freret, John Freret, Esq., Gen. De
Boys, Mr. Cummuni, Cul. Barnes, and Mr. Allen, the
builder.

August, while lying in Pcrt Praya harbor, the chains
parted in a violent gale of wind, and the vessel went ,
ashore. Vessel, and part of the cargo remained on '
board, a total loss. Passengers and crew saved. The ' 1
passengers afterward took passage on hoard the barque
Jane, of Somerset, for Liberia. Capt. Skaats has ar
rived in the brig Eineline. at New Bedford, (which

REVOLUTION IN GREECE
The Hibernia brings news of a successfaal revolution
in Greece. The inhabitants, accompanied by the nn

the people. A new ministry has been formed, and it
has been agreed that a national assembly should be
called, within thirty days, for the purpose of drawing
up, in concert with the King, a new constitution.
It is said that the King yielded with bad grace, when
he found that all resistance on his .part would he una

playing the "Mai sellaise" and the"Parisienne,” which
gave him cause to suppose that affairs might proceed
to unpleasant extremities. On the 16th, King Otho
took his customary airing, and was saluted, as be pas

TM:UNITED STAT ES STEAMERT RINCETON.
This new steamer has .trained alreaav a reputation
for Apeed zreater than that of any ocean steamer in the
world. While in New York, it wa3 ,h , termined that a
trial of speed should take place with the Great West
ern, one of the finest steamers afloat, and the following
is a semi-official account of the result:
'Statement from notes taken by Ashbel Welsh, Esq.
and Franris B. Ogden, Esq., during a trial of
speed between the S. IVar Steamer Pyineeton,
and the British Steamer Great Western, October
19, 1843.
At 38 minutes past 2, P m., while the Princeton was
lying in the North River. the Great Western was se e n
passing the Battery under a full head o f steam, blow
ing, off strong, and with her fore and aft sails set; the
wind fresh from the lVestward. The Princeton im
mediately started her engine, gave chase axd coming
up astern of the Great Western soon passed her, with
no sails set and the yards square. The Weetern then
set up her square sails; the Princeton. following her ex
ample, made sail also, and continued to widen the gap
between the two vessels, When the Princeton had ar
rived at the Buoy of the Middle, below the Narrows,
she was more than a mile ahead oldie Great Western.
Here the latter ship Op make gOod the distance she
had losr,) took the 'Smack Channel," which is three
miles shorter than the ortliaary ship channel, which
the Princeton had followed before she was aware of the .
intention of the Great Western.
Notwithstanding the great distance which she had
r fosed over, she met the Western again at the Black
Buoy on the Outer Bar, and there passed under her
stern about two lengths distant,-then hauled up on a
line parallel to her; when coming abreast Capt. Stock
ton wished Capt. Hosken a plenseht passage, and the
crew of the Princeton_gtive the dren of the Great West
ern three cheers. The Princeton then passed - rapidly
ahead of the Great Western, in two minutes crossed
her bow, and hauled up for the capes of the Delaware.
- From the time that the Princeton passed Castle Gar
den till she finally left the Great \Ve•tern, was one
hour and fifty-ala minutes, during which time - she had
beaten her three miles.
- -
The Princeton occupied one hour and thirty-one min
utes in going from Castle Galrden to Sandy Book Point,
a distance of more than twenty-one miles; thus showing
her speed to have been fourteen miles per hour, against
the flood tide, proving her to be the fastest see-going
steamer in the world.
The Great Western accomplished the distance to the
Bar in considerably -less time than she had ever done
before, having been well prepared for the occasion.
The Princeton had her full complement of vial in her
bunkers. As also the greater part of her water and
stores; and a quantity of coal on deck equal to the
weight of her armament. -
The Princeton tu rived at the Philadelphia Navy Yard
on Friday evening. Capt. Hosken, of the Creat West
ern, sent back a note to the pilot, in which he acknowl
edges that his vessel was fairly passed, at from one
half to three quarters of a mile per hour.

more enlarged and liberal feelings thanin any other of
