NEW YORK HERALD. arch 6, N46. New York, Friday, ILLUSTRATED WEEELY HERALD. The Weekly Herald will be published at 8 o'clock to-morrow morning, at sixpence a copy. ‘This number will be embellished with a beauti- ful view of the new Grace Chureh, situated at the upper end of Broadway, (waich is to be consecrated to-morrow,) and a graphic illustration of the disso- Jution of the joint occupaney of Oregon, and the retiracy of John Bull from the firm of Sam & Bull, of that territory. It will contain, in addition, the interesting intelli- gence from Washington, the news from Europe and India, and the local intelligence of the week. Single copies, in wrappers for the mails, will be ready at the desk. THE EXPECTED NEWs FROM EUROPE. The following packets may now be expected, with later news from Europe :— PACKETS TO ARKIVE WITH NEWS. Captains. Thempson, ft Westminster, Siddons, . Shenandoah, . ° The fleet of news schooners and boats—the latter under the command of Captain Silvey—are now on the cruising station, on the look-out for the above named packets. It is expected that the packets will be boarded at sea, and the news despatched by | special express over-land, to the New York Herald | oflice. The intelligence will be interesting, but probably | not of much importance. | ‘The News from India—English Annexation —The Cregon Negotiation. In one respect, apart from all others, the news which arrived by the Toronto is of considerable im- | portance. We have been so long accustomed to hear of wars and aggressions by the English in the East, that we are apt to view with indifierence eve- ry thing coming from that quarter. But at the pre- sent time, when a war between America and Great Britain may not be an improbable event, any thing that concerns the prosperity or adversity of England, | 1s of some importance to us, and we cannot fail to | be interested. In this view, the war of the Punjab, which has | broken out with tremendous violence, is calculated | to arrest the attention of our statesmen; and it may, perchance, materially affect the pending nego- tiations between England and America. Letters | received in England by the overland mail, state | that “the Sikhs attacked the British army with fifty- | tive thousand men, and one hundred and fifty pieces of artillery, on the 21st of December.” ‘The Sikhs are very powerful, supported by an active and brave people,and are goaded on to vengeance by the contin- | ‘ual aggressions which have been made upon them by | the British, in their relentless policy of aggrandize- | Ment or annexation. Not content with the vast | possessions she already has in India, Great Bri- | tain looks, with a longing eye, on the fer- | tile regions of the Punjab and will never satis- fy her rapacity until she swallows up every neigh- boring power in that section of the globe. But a short time has elapsed since she forcibly annexed Natal to her African colonies, on a plea of philan- thropy; but really for the value of the country for the production of cotton; and now she seeks to annex the Punjab to her Indian territories, with the bloody | power of the sword. Yet this is the nation whose | preases, whose pulpits, whose parliamentary orators, | have the felicity to abuse us for the peaceful and | bloodless annexation uf Texas, by the free consent and desire of her people! The bold spirit of resistance whieh the Sikhs have manifested, although urged on by England, leads | us to believe that the permanent annexation of their | territory will be no very easy matter; no easier, | perhaps, than the permanence of the French pos- sescion in Algeria. There seems to be every pro- bability that England will have to contend against @ force equally as determined as any in| Affghanistan; at any rate, there will be | such difficulties thrown in her way by the gal lant Sikhs as to give full employment to her | arms, and to weaken her capacity somewhat for | carrying ona war with the United States. She is aware that we are now too powerful to cope with while she has other nations to battle with or sud- | due ; and, in this view, this fresh outbreak inand | near her East Indian possessions, may have its effect on the negotiation for the settlement of the Oregon question. aa This news is thus likely to have an influence in leading to the peaceable adjustment of the Oregon | question. It may tend to weaken the persistance | of Great Britain in maintaining her pretensions, and strengthen our government in the assertion of our rights. We shall see. It will not be the first time, at all events, that troubles in India have had an influence on negotiations between England and America. Srarz Patntixa.—It is an old saying, snd a true one, that, when rogues disagree, honest men get their due. This adage has been verified to the let- | ter in our Legislature this winter. From the com- mencement of the session until the present time, the democratic party has been divided into cliques and factions, each urging its pretensions to the nght of having the public printing. The old hunkersand | barn-burners, headed by their respective leaders, have assailed and abused each other with a perfect frenzy; and the consequence is, that it has caused such{ disorder in the party as insures certain de- | feat at the next general election. The whig members, in both houses, looked on this family war with the greatest complacency, and | | Nashville to St. Lous, by water, the route is open | capital, to make such improvements in that river as | the 29th of December. Capt. B. reports seeing a | rection. Weknow what vast inconvenience and . New Steam Route begween New York, Nash- t Ville and St. Louis. } It isnot much Known in this latitude or longitude, that Nashville ig making an effort to construct a | Tailroad to connect Charleston with that city, through the gap of the Cumberland Mountaina, which will open a direct steam route between New York and the great centre of the Mississippi valley, that will be open at all seasons of the year, and will supersede, in many respects, all the other routes be- tween New York and St. Louis, through Ohio and the Lakes, or via Peansylyania. This is one of the most important routes between New York and the great valley of the Mississippi. A brief view of it will, therefore, be interesting to the commercial classes of this city. A railroad from Charleston, to Augusta, in Geor- gia, nas now been open for several years. This road measures one hundred and thirty-six miles in length: From Augusta, running in a similar direction, to- wards the Allegheny or Cumberland Mountains, on the borders of Tennessee, there is, also, a railroad three hundred miles long, the greater part of which isnow completed, and the remaining portion has peen provided for by the Legislature of Georgia. This 1s three hundred miles long, and extends from Augusta, or Hamburg (S.C.) to within ten miles beyond the State line of Tennessee, to the Cumber- land valley. From this point on the frontier of Ten- nessee, down the valley of the Cumberland fiver to Nashville, is one hundred and thirty miles. This length of railroad has been taken hold of by capitalists at Nashville; and preparations are being made to construct it within the space of two years. When it shall have been completed, there will be an uninterrupted railroad route from Charleston to Nashville in Tennessee, making an aggregate dis- tance of five hundred and fifty-six miles, aflord- ing means of transportation of the best quali- ty, at all seasons of the year, and which will enable goods to be forwarded to St. Louis, in | ARRIVAL or THE Packets.—Two packets arrived the Mussissippi valley, by the easiest mode. From | Yesterday—the Ashburton, from Liverpool; and Baltimore, from Havre—both report exceedingly at all seasons of the year; and the Legislature of | rough weather. The ship Indiana, Capt. Bennett, Tennessee has it in contemplation, with the aid of | @lso arrived from Liverpool, having been out since ‘Taylo:’s Sub-Marine Battery. of the House, who have this matter in charge, will,” probably, make their report on this new invention of Captain Taylor, im a few days—an invention having for its obyeet the defence of all our seaports by a moving apparatus, on a sub-marine principle. We understand the committee have examined all the models and plans of Mr. Taylor; and the inven- tion has struck them with so much force, that they mean to make a report in favor of an appropriation by the Government, in order to test its practica> , bility at once. By this new invention, every sea- port in the United States could be successfully de- | fended, at a very small expense, and with the | greatest expedition, against all the navies of the world. ‘ The principle of Mr. Taylor’s invention is founded upon a combination of galvanism and his sub- marine apparatus. By this plan, every part and por- | tion of the harbor of New York could be placed in | such a strong position as to deal destruction in any tempt that may be made, by any navy in the world, to enter it. success of this new applica- tion cf the galvanic principle to the sub-marine apparatus, will render entirely unnecessary all the vast expenses incurred in fortifying seaports, which create so much unnecessary expense in keeping them in repair. It is particularly important that a fair experiment should be made on this new invention, and its practicability for the defence of seaports should be tested forthwith. The state of our foreign relations demands the earliest movements in the matter. If | it should succeed, every commercial port in the country could be fortified at a comparatively trifling expense ; and rendered impregnable to the hostile | armies and navies of the world. There ought to | be no delay allowed ia the matter. | to render it navigable. number of inward bouad vessels on the coast.

He will no doubt be assisted by all the prominent ar- t n. Seduction and adultery are thus encouraged, and the sanctity of the family hearth violated by li- centious men, emboldened by the consciousness that their villanies may be practiced with impunity. | The proper remedy for such things would be a just | refinement of public opinion, and a reformation of | those scandalous rules of fashionable society which admitthe seducer to high standing, while they con. | siga his victim toneglect and misery which has no end but in the silence of the tomb.

In this they succeeded, to the satisfaction of themselves and | their constituents. By uniting with the old hunker faction of the democratic party, they have probably carried a bill abolishing the office of State printer, and contracting out all the public printing to the Jowest bidder, which has passed the Senate, and been ordered to a third reading in the House. This bil was expected to be sent to the Governor, for his approval, on Wednesday last. This is an unexpected measure of reform, and we rejoice that the bone of contention is thus removed. | ‘The public printing averages forty thousand dollars a-year, and has always been the source of cosrup- tion end political profligacy. There is no praise due to any party for this bill. The whigs stepped in, not for the purpose of carrying the bill as a mea- sure of reform, but with the hope of widening still further the breach between the cliques of the democratic party, and keeping them hostile to each other, so that, at the next election, they would be divided, and thus offer an easy victory over them. Now that this knotty question is disposed of, we | hope the Legislature will, the remainder of the ses- sion, bear in mind that they were sent to the capi- | tol to transact the business of their constituents. Tue Hor Trave.—A bill has been reported in the Assembly of this State, requiring the inspection of every bale of hops sold in the State. The deal- ers, exporters, and consumers, are opposed to any such restrictions, as they never depend upon the in- spection for quality, invariably using their own jadg- ment upon that point. The consumers do not require any protection from the State, in the shape of an inspection ot the article ; and all interested in the production and sale of hops in this, or any other market, are opposed to the bill alluded to, except those who wish to pass off an inferior for a superior article, under cover of an official inspection.

Exsction.—At the town Monday, the whole whig ticket was elected by some majorities, possible, but hardly probable, that the revenue ft customs may, in the early operation of the new tariff, more limited than after it gets better established, a sufficient time has elapsed to get all the wheels ogain motion under the new system. It must be admittad that the modification of the tari upon the ad valorem principle, and upon a strict standard, in connection with the sub-treasury, are great experiments—experiments, too, touching the vital interests of the country, and affecting most important department of the gov ernment finances ; but they are experiments based upon unquestionable date, that the chances of are very slight. The establishment of the Treasury bill will have more influence upon existing volume and value of the curreney, it must remembered that under a restricted currency the tations are restricted, and the revenue reduced. We can hardly reconcile these two me av.it appears evident that the importations mast larger under a low tariff, to produce a certain amount of revenue, than undera high tariff. The greater the| value of ourcurrency, the more able our ma: i are to compete with these of Europe. If we bring currency up to « specie standard, it becomes as ‘as any inthe word, and places us upen a level with country in the productions of the soil or the loom. If can manufacture as cheaply at home as we can from abroad, the domestic Jarticle, if equally good, prevents the government from realizing that revenue it would otherwise receive. The operation of the Sub- | Treasury is likely to produce these results; and it be" E. | comesa matter of much interest and importance how 3 | these two acts—the Sub Treasury and a revenae tarif— will work together. What would bea revenue tariff under @ paper currency,would not be one under specie | currency. The present condition of the several banking systems of each State requires the re-esteblashment of the Sub Tressury in its most restrictive form, and the revolutions made from time to time in the commercial systome of the commercial nations of the old werld, re quire sunilar revolutions in our commeretel Fyrom,
