THEDANIsH SogNp ToLLs.-Among the State pa
pers to the light, is the reply of Secretary
Marcy to the resolution OF inquiry in srodured by Mr..
Walker, of New York. into the House some time
ago, which was yesterday duly transmitted to the
Speaker. Treating as it does of a subject Of great
Importance TO those engaged in commerce with
Northern Europe it is destined to command great
attention more especially it is already understood
In diplomatic circles here that it clearly announces
the purpose of refusing to permit American COM
merce hereafter to be taxed to any such end From
time immemorial the governments Of Europe have
permitted their merchant ships to be taxed for the
privilege Of passing through the Sound, which is
really as much high sea" in law as the Atlantic
Ocean. When Mr.. Buchanan was Secretary of
State, he offered some $1,000 to get rid Of this tax
hereafter. tseems to be undo rstood, however that
the present administration having caused thorough
examination into Denmark's legal right to levy
such tolls, has concluded that our ships shall no
longer pay them, as they are based upon no sound
principles OF right or law. On sending Mr.. Bedinger
out, this administration Is said to have taken up the
subject with great eanestness being better informed
upon it than Its predecessors. To prevent forcible
efforts to collect them, it is also understood Amer-
can merchant vessels will hereafter be afforded the
protection of an American naval convoy through
the Sound. Such, It Ia believed is the substance Of
the important State paper to which we refer above

I" As YOU WERE"

So the National Intelligencer heralds the
announcement that Mr. Granger and his Ma
tional Wings are planning a reconstruction of
the Wing Party. According to the Albany
Alias Messrs. Granger, Collier, and Barnard
with other leading Wings of their class, met
privately al Albany before the election, to con-
fer to their course. 1t was determined to
make no formal demonstration in relation to
the pending canvass, but to throw their infu-
ence in favor of Ullmann, the Know Nothing
candidate; and at the same time a circular
letter was agreed upon, announcing that, upon
consultation with National Wings, it had been
deemed advisable to call a Convention to as
semble in Albany early in January, to reinstate
the Wing party on the platform of 1852. AS
we printed the letter last week, we now simply
refer to it. 1t is welcomed by the National In
teNigencer, but the avowal of hostility embodied
in it to the bill by which the Missouri Com
promise was repealed, does not find favor in
the South. True, the Wings engaged in the
movement intend to acquiesce in that measure,
as well as all other aggressive measures of Sla-
very, already accomplished, but there are some
Southern Wings so exacting, that they demand,
not only acquiescence, but appreciation.
Mr.. Granger and his friends will only expose
their weakness if they persist in the movement
The probability is that they will change their
tactics, and combine with the Know Nothings,
whose general policy they decidedly approve.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF THE HARDs.

The faction in New York, which has hitherto
rejoiced in the title of " National Democrats"
having nothing to gain by keeping up fight,
finding no party in the South to affiliate with
them, and predisposed to Know Nothingism,
left their candidate, Mr.. Bronson, standing at
the head of twenty-five thousand men, and
went over to ULLMAxS. The Rochester Union
of November 9Th contained the following para

from the Hard State committee last week.
urging the abandonment of Bronson, whose
cause was hopeless, for Ullmann. The vote of
Binghamton is significant"
As the Hards cast nearly 100000 votes one
year ago, and but $4,000 at the election lust
held, we suppose we may record the decease of
that party

LATE FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Asia arrived at New York yes
terday, with Liverpool dates to the 18th instant
The intelligence by this steamer shows that
the belligerents in the Crimea have not been
inactive Since the last preceding accounts,
force of 10000 Russians attacked and took the
forts of Balakava, the headquarters of the Eng
lish troops, six miles to the south of Sebastopol,
when a great battle ensued, in which the allies
were finally successful, and remained masters of
the field.
The siege of Sebastopol was progressing favor
ably. Two Russian ships had been destroyed
in the harbor by the fire from the besiegers
guns, and the quarantine batteries had been
sienced. The bastion of Fort Constantine, on
the north side of the mouth of the harbor, had
been damaged by an explosion of n magazine.
The news, however, is conflicting, and leaves
matters very obscure.
Russian dispatches say that the allies suffer
ed two severe defeats, viz f: The French had their
works destroyed and sixteen guns spiked, and
the English cavalry were attacked by Menschi
koff at Balaklava, and routed with a loss Of five
hundred horses. The Anglo-French reports do
not give any explicit denial to these reports
They only say that the Russian story is improb
able and exaggerated.
1t is evident that there Gas been some sharp
fighting. The latest date from Sebastopol is

The following telegrapbic despatch from the
British Ambassador was received at the For

ed:
CoNsTANTNoPLE, Oct. 2S-midnigM.
The captain of the English steam transport,
which left Balaklava ON the evening of the 10th,
confirms the greater part Of the information
brought this morning by French ship. 1t
appears that the Russians attacked the forts in
the vicinity Of Balaklava on the 18th, their
numbers being about $4,000 strong. The attack
was unexpected. The Cossacks preceded the
infantry. To resist them, at first were sent out
the Ottomans and the Scotch troops The Turks
ingloriousy gave way, and even left their guns.
which were seized by the Russians and turned
against them. The Scotch remained firm, and
other forces arriving, the Russians we're obliged
to yield, though they remained masters of the
FORTS from which they fired on the allies. Three
regiments of English light cavalry were exposed
to the cross fire of the Russian batteries, and
suffered immensely. The French took part in
the affair with admirable bravery. Next day.

ter. The loss of the Russians must have been
very great.

MASSACHUSETTS.
The election in Massachusetts, has resulted,
az our readers know, in the utter rout 6fball the
old parties, and the complete triumph of the
Know Nothing candidates. The declnation OF
Mr.. Wilson, the Republican candidate, although
refused by the Committee, seems to have been
accepted by the Party, as his vote is not much
over 5000. Of course, the revolution is the
work of the People of Massachusetts, vast
number of whom voted the Know Nothing tick

old parties.

A note from the Treasurer of the State of
Ohio states that the notes of the Miami Valley
Bank, Canal Bank of Cleveland, Savings Bank
OF Cincinnati, City Bank of Columbus. and all
other Ohio Stock Banks, will be received for
taxes and all other public dues, as heretofore.
These notes are abundantly secured by the
pledge of Ohio and United States stock in the
offices of the Auditor and Treasurer of State
which stocks are still commanding premium
in New York. No bill-holder, he adds need
necessarily lose anything by Ohio stock paper
For the sake of keeping our readers posted
we extract the following list of suspended West

Is:
The Union Bank, Chicago, Ill. the Bank of
Napierville, Napierville, III. the City Bank of
Chicago, H.; the Merchants and Mechanics

Stock Bank of Indiana, Peru Upper Wabash
Bank, Wabash; Perry County Bank, Camel
ton; Steuben County Bank, Angola Traders
Bank, Terre Haute; Great Western Bank, Ter
re Haute.
1t is proper to add that number of mer-
chants of the city of Chicago, Illinois, have
agreed to receive at par the bills Of the banks
of that city, which has had good effect, but
the excitement nevertheless continues, as the
holders want specie, not goods, for their bills.
The Union Bank of Chicago was owned by
Forrest Brothers, and the City Bank owned by
Bradley, Curtis, & Co.
The failure of the Mechanics and Traders
Bank of Cincinnati is not of much Importance.
1t has been in process of closing its business
for some time past, under the supervision of
the board of control. Its capital in August last
was only $780, and its circulation $47, 339.
The deposits and circulation are paid without
interruption.

Further from Mexico.

Baltimore, Nor. 1.-THE New Orleans papers
of Saturday last, as late as due, are to hand
They contain the details of the Mexican news
received by the steamship Orizaba, and which.
in some particulars, is quite the reverse of the
account received by telegraph direct from New
Orleans.
1t appears that in the battle fought at Campo
Guerrero, the victory belonged to the forces of
Alvarez, who routed and killed 300 of the Gov
ernment troops.
Alvarez's son, at the head of some guerilla
forces, had captured a number of prisoners and
some 1000 head of cattle.
General Alvarez has issued an address TO the
citizens of Mexico, denouncing the dictator
Santa Anna, and closing with, Down with

Row Between a Catholic Priest and his Congre-
CATION.

Utica, Nor. ia row took place yesterday
in the German Catholic Church of this city,
growing ont of difficulty between the priest
and the st. Josephs Society, concerning ban
ner. Legal measures had been resorted to,
which had resulted in favor of the Society, and
the priest, not relishing the decision which had
been rendered against him, stated yesterday
from his pulpit that there were thieves and
liars present, and that he could not proceed
with the services of the Church until they left.
He then withdrew, when fight followed among
the congregation. -Four of the rioters were ar
rested, and held to bail.
