MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAiilLY JOURNAL. 
Foreign Intelligence. 
BY THE CAMBRIA. 
Halifax Telegraph Office, Jone 21st. 
The Cambria encountered strong head winds 
the whole voyage. She has about fifty-two pas¬ 
sengers, and sailed for New York at seven this 
morning. The America, from New York, was 
telegraphed at three o’clock, and will arrive at 
her wharf at six o’clock. Wind changed from 
the west to the north last night, and has blown 
very heavy to-day. 
The Asia arrived at her wharf here on Thurs¬ 
day evening, (ihe 13th) at7J o’clock, having left 
Boston on Wednesday at noon—making 31J 
hours, and not 26, as has been reported. She 
had favorable winds during the run. 
The news via Halifax, by telegraph, from New 
York, which reached England on the arrival of 
the Niagara at Liverpool, of the invasion of Lo¬ 
pez, created considerable sensation in the com¬ 
mercial and political circles. Many were indis¬ 
posed to credit the fact, till the arrival of the Pa¬ 
cific, which put an end to all doubt upon the sub¬ 
ject. The matter was brought under the notice 
of the Government and of both Houses of Parlia¬ 
ment. Jn the Lords, Lord Lansdowne, in reply 
to Lord Brougham, expressed his belief in the 
sincere and good faith of the United States Gov¬ 
ernment. He declined to answer a question from 
Lord Stanley, inquiring what orders had been 
sent to the British West India fleet. Lord Brough¬ 
am was of opinion that eVery British cruiser was 
bound to assist the Spanish Government in de¬ 
stroying the 8000 execrable pirates who had join¬ 
ed the expedition. 
Although the Greek question is still unsettled, 
there appears to be little apprehension that the 
diflnculty between the several Governments con¬ 
cerned, will lead to any serious result. 
The Protectionists have been holding a meet¬ 
ing at Liverpool which was attended by the bulk 
of the country party, and it is said to have been 
the greatest political display that has been wit¬ 
nessed in Eugland for some time. 
In an article defining the details of the tables of 
the Board of Trade Lr the last three months, the 
European Times says; 
"Upon a general review of the present ac¬ 
counts, we cannot but feel more and more assur¬ 
ed of the satisfactory state of our commercial sys¬ 
tem. The springs of industry are now fully in 
motion throughout the country, and can only be 
checked by the curtpiled want of supply of the 
raw material from abroad. By the return of wa¬ 
ges from the manufacturing districts arrising out 
of the factory labor question, it is admitted that 
the value of labor has decreased, but by no means 
commensurate with the great decline in the cost 
of living which has taken place since 1846. Up¬ 
on every view, therefore, of the above tabular 
statements, they may be pronounced highly satis¬ 
factory.’’ 
From a report recently presented to Parliament, 
it appeared that the largest importation of wheat 
and flour this year, into Great Britain, has been 
from France. The quantity from the United 
States is comparatively small. 
In Ireland, the agitation for tenant rights qf a 
fixation of tenure to the agricultural population, 
is fast gaining ground. Ministers of every creed 
and politicians of every grade are said to be united 
to forward the movement. 
O.ie hundred Hungarian refugees have landed 
at Southampton, at Malta. Count and Countess 
Dembinski were among them. 
It was stated in the Liverpool papers that the 
Pacific encountered heavy head winds on her pas¬ 
sage, and she proved herself in every respect a 
very superior vessel. The passengers speak of 
her in the highest terms of praise, in which 
Capt. Nye and his assistants come in for a full 
ehareof commendation. She was to have sailed 
last Wednesday for New York. 
France. 
The Electoral law was passed on the 3l8t of 
May, by 433 to 241. The President promulgat¬ 
ed the bill as the law of France, on Monday.— 
The preparations of government in anticipation of 
a revolt, appear to have been superfluous, as the 
opposition seemed to be disposed to let the whole 
affair pass over quietly for the present. 
The Socialist Journals deal with the Govern¬ 
ment contemptuously, ironically, congratulatorily, 
on a triumph utterly ineffectual. On the other 
side, the journals are urging the P.'esident to pro¬ 
ceed with vigor in the work of coercion. Paris 
is filled with an unusual number of foreigners, 
and the shopkeepers are said to be reaping a gold¬ 
en harvest. 
A bill has been laid before the Assembly, by 
the Finance Minister, for increasing the Presi¬ 
dent’s salary from 1,000,000 to 3,000,000 francs. 
All accounts agree in representing Louis Na¬ 
poleon as suflering from pecuniary embarrass¬ 
ments. 
Emile Girardin has been acquitted on the 
charge of distributing public documents, without 
the name of the printer. 
A committee of the Assembly has under con- 
eidetation the memorial for removing the seat of 
government from Paris. 
M. Thiers is said to be laboring to effect a re¬ 
conciliation between the elder and younger 
branches of the Bourbonfamily. Every member 
of the family of Louis Phillippe, except the 
Duchesse d’Orleans. is said to be desirous of a 
reconciliation. It is expected that M. Thiers 
possessed sufficient influence with the Duchesse 
to overcome her scruple.'s, and he is reported to 
be about to visit England for that purpose. 
The Gazette de France, the great legitimist 
journal, is openly bidding for popularity for Henry 
V., and promises that he will re Aore universal 
sulFrage. 
M. Lamartine is about to proceed t > his estate 
in Smyrna. 
We have advices from Paris to Friday, but the 
news is unimporaut. 5 per cents were quoted at 
94 francs. 
Uome. 
The Pope has published an address and expla¬ 
nation of the startling events of his reign, and 
commenting on the affairs of the Roman Catho¬ 
lic world. He especially stigmatized the prose¬ 
cution of the archbishop of Turin by the Pied¬ 
montese Government. The houses of the Enj*- 
lish residents and others are being closely search¬ 
ed for Bibles, not even excepting the British con¬ 
sul’s. 
Prussia 
The King is rapidly recovering. The contest 
of the Germans for free trade and unity, proceeds 
with but little prospect of a speedy and successful 
issue. Vast warlike preparations are said to be 
in progress, but they are supposed to have refe¬ 
rence more to international than to external de¬ 
fence, 
Austria. 
The latest advices from Vienna give assurance 
that there is not the slightest prospect of a rupture 
between Austria aud Prussia. The Emperor of 
Russia has declined to mediate between them. It 
is said that the Czar will visit Vienna after the 
conference which is being held at Warsaw. 
There is an accumulation of Danish forces on 
the Schteswig frontier aud that complicated ques¬ 
tion seems as far from adjustment as ever. 
* Awfully Destructive Calamity. 
From the New Orleans Delta, June 14. 
The crevasse in Grand Levee, Pointe Coupee, 
of which accounts were published in our yester¬ 
day’s evening edition, will, we fear, prove one of 
the most disastrous and calamitous events which 
has taken place in Louisiana for many years past 
The break occurs at a point where the river has 
long indicated a tendency to break through to the 
sea, in a direction which would be less than one- 
half the distance it is now compelled to meander, 
before it reaches its destination. In other words, 
the distance from the Grand Levee, in Point Cou¬ 
pee, to the sea-shore, by a straight line, would be 
little more than one-third the distance from that 
point to the Balize. 
This tendency of the Mississippi toward the 
sea-shore has been developing itself every year, 
until, by the unfortunate and unwise act of cutting 
the Raccourci cut-off, the whole torrent was bro’t 
down with ,8uch mighty pressure, that gradually 
all the bartiers erected at Pointe Coupee have giv¬ 
en way; and even previous to this break in the 
Grand Levee, nearly one-half of the parish had 
been put under water This recent calamity, how¬ 
ever, is the last and crowning disaster of the mul¬ 
titude which have afflicted our State during the 
last season. The water which breaks through 
here will hasten rapidly onward toward the sea, 
over a country the most productive on this conti¬ 
nent. We refer to the Attakapas, embracing the 
parish of St. Mary’s, which produces the largest 
amount of sugar of any parish in the State—St. 
Marlin, Lafayette, aud a large part of Ascension 
and Ibberville. 
These parishes are situated in a low, flat coun¬ 
try, composed of alluvial soil, and watered by nu¬ 
merous bayous and lakes. The flow of so largo 
a body of water into these outlets, will cause such 
a rise as will inundate the whole country. It was, 
we believe, by a similar crevasse, in 1823, that 
many of the best portions of these parishes, now 
cultivated with great success, were submerged to 
the extent of 12 or 15 feet. If the quantity of 
water discharged is at all equal to that of 1828, 
there can be no exaggeration of the damage done. 
It will reach several—nay, many millions. We 
rest in hope, however, that either the crevasse 
will be stopped, or that some measure may be de¬ 
vised to arrest this most disastrous flood. 
THE CREVASSE ABANDONED. 
From the Picayune. 
W’e received the following brief epistle from a 
correspondent at Bayou Sara. It will be seen 
that the work of stopping the crevasse has been 
abandoned, and that the worst fears are conse¬ 
quently to be confirmed : 
Bayou Sara, Juno 12. 
At last the Grand Levee in Pointe Coupee has 
given way, under the heavy pressure of water that 
rested upon it; the river being 14 feet higher than 
the surface of the fields opposite on the outside. 
The crevasse occurred night before last, and is 
about one hundred and fifty yards wide, and is 
running over with a rapidity equal to that of the 
Falls of St. Anthony, sweeping every thing before 
it; destroying houses, stock, «fec., from Pointe 
Coupee to Berwick’s Bay. No effort will be made 
to stop it; all hands considering it impossible.— 
This will help to rid the town of Bayou Sara of 
its supesfluity of water, and the good citizens of 
that place are congratulating themselves that the 
water will be entirely off the town in less than a 
week.

THE WOOL TRADE. 
As the season for the annual slieep-shcaring has just 
about closed, and iliu new clip now teing ready for mar¬ 
ket. much interest is felt by operators at the East 
to ascertain the quantiiy and quality to come forward and 
by those Weu the present stau; and prospect of our mar¬ 
kets. The Wool business for a few years past lias been 
much more irrecular, and the prices more uncert.iiii than 
fo merly. The production and consumption of domestic 
Wool are so nearly equal Irotn year to year, that .a slight 
variation on either side oiierates materially to afiect the 
prices of the raw material. We have a large extent of 
country that is admirably adapted to the feeding of sheep, 
which could be made more productive to the farmer, from 
the sale of wxil, than from any other kind of products. 
As the usual speculative esiimaies of the quantity of wool 
that has be‘n or will be sliorn the present season, are be¬

HUSSEY’S REAPING MACHINE. 
W E would respectfully call the attention offarmers 
to the fact that wo have the exclusive aecney and 
theexcliisiv«sale of the above named Reaper, in all that 
part of the state of New York west of Ontairo county, 
and are also general aeents for the United Stales and 
Canada. W’e sell the Reapers at the Manufacturers’ 
prices, adding only cost of transportation. They can be 
examined at our store. All who design piirch.aslng are 
earnestly requested to hand in thfir orders at once, as 
this will enable us to have on hand in season all that may 
be required, and prevent any beint disappointed, as might 
be the case if orders were delayed till the harvest had be¬ 
gun. They are the beat Reapers made, and that it would 
be greatly to the advantage of farmers to have them, 
there is no doubt. 
Annexed are a few of the many certitlcates which 
might be given :— 
Macedon, August 29th. 1849. 
Messrs. Rapalje & Briggs—Gents:—The Reaping Ma¬ 
chine I bought of you, made by Messrs. Eldred & Hus¬ 
sey, at Auburn, has been thoroughly tested by me the 
present harvest, and I am happy to say has exceeded my 
most sanguine expectations. I have cut with it 125 
acres of wheat, besides my own crop, making some 200 
acres of wheat and oats; and I can confidently recom 
mend it to my brother farmers as Just the machine they 
want. 1 have cut 12 acres of oats ia half a day, and 20 
acres of stout wheal in one day, with three horses abreast, 
and most of it was bad cutting. 1 think I can cut *25 
acres of good wheat in a day, and do it better than can 
be done in any otlier way. My machine is now in per¬ 
fect order, and I consider it full as good as when I got it 
of you. Yours, luostrespeclfully. 
Thomas Rdshmore, 
Wheatland, AugU3t20th, 1819. 
Messrs. Eldied & Hussey—Cents :—1 have now used 
one of your Reaping Machines for two years, and do most 
cheerfully say that it has given the best satisfaction. I 
have cut my whole harvest, and a large one tco, with my 
ordinary farm hands. I have cut ’20 acres of s'out wheat 
a day with ea'e, and 1 would most cheerfully recommend 
it to my brother farmers as Ihe best and moat economical 
machine that is useh on a farm. In fact 1 think so much 
of it. that .five hundred dollars would not induce me to 
part with it, if I could not get another. 1 have also two 
brothers, each of whom have one of your machines, which 
they like very much, and could not be induced to be with¬ 
out. I think your agents, Messrs. Rapalje & Briggs, will 
sell a large number of them in our county, next season, as 
many of my acquaintances have told me they intend to 
purchased one of your Reapers another season. 
Anan Harmon. 
Beroen, September 1st, 1819. 
This is to certify that I have this season used one of 
Hussey’s Reaping Machines, which I purchased of Messrs 
Rapalje & Briggs, of Rochester, and that it gives perfect 
satisfaction. 11 avecutiny wheat, which was very bad¬ 
ly lodged, much faster, better and cheaper than it could 
be done any other way. 1 have had one of McCormick’s 
for the last three years, and it now stands in the road as a 
useless article, as I consider it, having tried to use it for 
three years, without any success. 
I consider Hussey’s Machine just the thing for our far¬ 
mers, and I could not now, after proving its merits, be 
induced to be without one Noah Wilder.

During this period, with but few exceptions, the table 
shows a gr.adual butsleady increase. The rtceiptsof 1849 
were nearly equal to those of any four years combined 
previous to 1843. It is probably well known that a large 
amount is imported every year, but it is principally of a 
grade and character such as is not produced to much ex¬ 
tent in this country, being of an inferior quality, and 
adapted only to carpets, blankets and othercoarse goods. 
The amount itii|K)ried last year is staled to have been 
about 18,900,090 lbs. [Alb. Jour.

liberated, when both that and the dasher or bats arc
