OUR NEW YORK CORRESPONDENCE.

New York, Dec. 27.
As the holvday season progresses, evidences
of it are manifested in the elegant and tasteful
decorations of the shops and stores. It is a
harvest for dealers in fancy wares, fine, goods
and ornaments. Manuta-makera, milliners,
and confrctronert, are partjxiijr jxrWt
about these times. The city stock of silks,
laces, embroideries and de laines, is well nigh
exhausted now, and the revenues bestowed up
on fashionable robes and decorative head
gear, would almost be sufficient to construct a
railroad or to start a line ot ocean steamers.
But the most expensive item of personal adorn
ment is still to be met. Jewelry shops are more
crowded now than at any other time. It is one
of the signs of our national prosperity and ad
vancement in wealth, that our people indulge in
gold chains, diamond settings, silver plate and
gdd repeaters, with unmeasured extravagance.
For the last week, the jewelry establishments
all over the city have been thronged with visi
tors who are expected to pay well for their pur
chases. The economical and prudent even lack
discrimination and discernment on such occa
sions. With few exception?, purchasers are at
the mercy of cunning artificers, who secure to
themselves enormous profits for many articles
which intrinsically are of little value. The love
of display, of all .weaknesses, costs its posses
sor mo6t, and they who have reason and com
mon sense enough to make them decide in favor
of moderation and 'iinplicitv in all things, se
cure to themselves decidedly the safest and hap
dition of life. I do not mean, how
ever, to imply that the highest developments of
life ara not compatible with the highest excel-
lnMA nhd nerfection of tho arts, but, e6sen
dally, there is a dignity of manhood and
womanhood, and prerogatives of nature and
character, which infinitely surpass these exterior
decorations, which are regarded by many as so

then he said it must bo paid in advance. This
was refused, as it was unreasonable and im
proper. It was late in the day before this was
made known, and hundreds went to the theatre
before they had heard of it. The money for
tickets sold was afterwards refunded. Salvi ia
the only tenor in the country. He has made

he subjects five or six thousand people to disap

XCSSIA AND TCRILBT.
The greatest naval battle ince Navarino has
been fought, with terrific loss of life. The to
tal destruction is twenty-one ships of war, with
several transport!'.
On the 30th of November the entire Russian
fleet from Sebastopol, under Admiral Menchi
koff, consisting of twenty-four sail, appeared off
the Turkish harbor of Sinope, where vice Admi
ral Osman Bey lay with fourteen Turkish ves
sels. The b.-ittle immediately commenced, and
the shore batteries being of no use, the Russians
succeeded in forcing the harbor.
1 lie lurks fought like devils, and would not
surrender. With most desperate braverv thev
fought until one ship aftor ruinth- ---
blown "up, burned, or destroyed. Seven Turkish
frigates, two corvettes, one steamer, and three
transports, with several thousand men, were to
tally lost, the men all perishing. Osman liey,
the Turkish Vice Admiral, was taken prisoner.
Each of the Turkish ships, besides their crew.
had eight hundred troops on their way to Cir-
cassia. lliey also nau uionsy to pay tne neet,
all of which was lost.
The Turks, notwithstanding the destruction
of all their vessels, sunk seven Russian sloops
Uo of them line-of battle ships, three frigates,
and two steamers. The battle lasted only one
hour. The remainder of the Russian fleet was
so shattered that it could scarcely reach Sebas
topol.
All Europe was in a furore ot excitement;
and the opinion is general that a European war
can no longer be averted.
The Turks continued to gain the advantage,
and the Russian loss in the great naval engage
ment, under the circumstances, is fully equal to
that of the Turks. On the line of the Danube
there were no movements.

STARTLING NEWS FROM EUROPE.
pyh reamer Pacific arrived at New York on
ine 5th, with later accounts from Europe,
-oich give an unexpected and critical turn to
the Eastern war. A portion of 'the Turkish
fleet, variously reported from eight to fourteen
vessels, was chased by the Russian naval force
oh the Black Sea into the port of Sinope, on the
coast of Asia Minor, and orly Ucoti vj afWr
a stubborn engagement of one hour. The first
telegraphic accounts of this disaster reached
Western Europe through Russian sources, and
even to the latest despatches from Constantino
ple, little or nothing was known of the particu-J
lars beyond the brief and exaggerated generali
ties of the Russian bulletins. But there is no
reasonable doubt left of the event of the disas
ter itself. The extent of loss in the number of
-sail, the destruction of life, and the amount of
treasure destined for the Turkish army in Asia,
sunk on the unfortunate ships, remain to be as
certained correctly hereafter. The imme'diate
cause which led to the hostile pursuit also ap
pears in some doubt, since a pledge had been
previously given by the Czar to the Western
powers, that he would make no demonstration
on the Black Sea other than defensive. The im
portance given to the victory, and the hot haste
with which Prince Menscbikofi1 set out for St.
Petersburg. to communicate the event to his im
perial, master, are treated by the London papers
as affording evidence, that this pledge has been
deliberately Violated j thatthe war on both el
ements ia to be made -one of aggression by the
Czar, and that without consulting .' the ' other
great Powers, and without stopping to count
the- chances of peace by fresh notes or protocols
from -the allied intervention. Against the con
tingency of such' a movement on the Black Sea,
the representatives of the Western., powers at
Constantinople had , fall instructions to pro
ceed, without delay, and four steam frigates were
immediately dispatched from , the. combined
French and English fleets in the Bopphorus, on
receipt of the news, fur the purpose of 'obtain
ing precise intelligence. ' ; -. ) -' : ' ' "1
i The relative forces engaged in this affair, it
would bfi difficuJVfronv tbe reading of the ya-
nous accounts of the previous positions of the
hostile fleets to arrive at, with any degree of.
certainty. ; The most reasonable conclusion ap
pears to be, that the effective fighting force of
the Turks was. comprised in three frigates, em
ployed as a convoy, and destined i for Sinope
with supplies for the army in Asia, 'and that
the attacking force was b'ix line-of-bnttle ships.
That the odds were in favor of the Russians ad
mits of little doubt.' That the Turks fought
desperately and gallantly ia equally certain. At
Sinope were said to be a number of hulks, or
dismantled Turkish vessels, and these may be
included iif the Russian account of tht fourteen
sail. This account charges that the convoy was
destined tor an attack upon the Kugsians nt !
Soiicham Kalsha, and that it was intercepted
off Sinope. fi .
The event caused prodigious excitement at
Paris and London. The French Emperor was,
much concerned for I the consequences to the
peace of Europe likely to follow, and, for the
moment, ihe movements of diplomacy at Vienna
were aljeost lost sight of in Ike ttirrinf oente
quences of tht unexpected naval conflict. The
English pre;ss, beaded by the Times, assumes,
on the occasion, a tone of menace towards the
Russians, sertainly more decided than anything
from the same quarter since the commencement
of the Eastern difficulty.
The land movements of the belligerent pow
ers are of nd particular importance. The Turks
were fortifying their position at Kalafar, and
the Russian army reported to be on the ap
proach to that point. In Asia, the former con
tinue to meet with successes, but a new compl!- ;
cation ot tlie war lias grown out of the declara
tion of Persia in favor of the Czar.
Negotiations by the Allied Powers, under the
protocol agreed upon on 5th of December, were
going on at tho latest dates, but with less pros
pect of success than at firnt promised. The
French official journals speak doubtingly of the
real disposition of both belligerents to peace,
and before the startling news from the Black
Sea was received at London, the Times strongly
intimated that the desire of the Sultan was
much stronger to force France and England in
to the fight, than his willingness to make .terms
with the enemy.
The effect of the news upon the British and
French funds was not so decided as the nature
of the event; and its supposed complication of
the Eastern question were calculated to create.
Consols closed at 94 to 94J ; French rentes,
102J. The market accounts advise a further
rise in Grain and a steady demand far Cotton.
Money wis working easy in London, and trade
presented a reasonably fair aspect. The Gold
receipts at Loudon, from Australia and the Uni
ted States, wero large, while tht drain to the
continent had fallen off.

OLD Time, with his levelling scythe,
Has nearly demolished the year, 3
But still he looks p easant and blithe, - '
When Turner's new Grift Books appear ; "
For the fairest, aud brightest, and cheapest, and
best, i
At Turner's are found, as it must be confessed.
Here is food of the daintiest kind,
Prepared for the old and young,
The deepest researches of mind,
And the anthems that poets have sung
And sure of enrapturing the grave and the gay.
His New Year's assortment does Turner display.
Here are juvenile works in tho mass,
And toy-books and holyday games,
And keepsakes of every class,
All pressing resistless their claims ;
And then to enliven the holyday scenes, .
The climax is capped with th'e new magazines.
.-
Then to tlte N. C. Bookstore you had better
repair,
This brilliant eolleetisa to view;
. Wken you see it, I think I may safely aver,
You'll say that the statement is true ;
For rich are the goods, and abumdant the store,
That will herald the dawn of the year '54.
