MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY JOURNAL. 
foreign IntfSIigtnre. 
ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. 
The Asia which arrived on Friday evening left 
Liverpool on the 4th inst., just one week after the 
Atlantic. She brings no intelligence in relation to 
that vessel, which can relieve the anxiety that is 
experienced for her safety. 
The following are some of the most important 
items: 
Ths Liverpool Times of Jan. 3, says the Corn 
market remains the same as for some weeks past. 
There is little change in prices; the leading arti¬ 
cles are well supported. The present aspect of af¬ 
fairs lead us to tho conclusion that no change of 
an upward tendency can be expected at least for a 
length of time. 
Salk oe the Steamship Great Britain. —This 
steamship has at length been sold by the Company 
to Mr. Patterson, tho eminent shipbuilder of Bris¬ 
tol, for the sum of £18,000, being about the sev¬ 
enth part of her original cost. 
It is rumored that the intendedTrussian loan will 
be for £7,000,000 sterling. j 
The Bohemian and Saxon Railroad from Aus- 
sig to Bodenbach was opened on tho 21st ult. 
The last accounts from Madrid cast strong doubts 
on the reported pregnancy of Queen Isabella. 
Perlet, the prince of Parisian actors, died at 
Paris on the 20th of ult., at tho age of 56, after a 
long illness. 
M. Alexander Dumas, the feuilletonist, on ac¬ 
count of some theatrical speculations, has been 
declared bankrupt by the Paris Tribunal of Com¬ 
merce. 
Accounts from New Zealand state that John 
Heki, one of the Chiefs formerly engaged in con¬ 
flict with the British, had died at Karkoai, of pul¬ 
monary disease. 
Letters from Romo announce that the United 
States residents in that city have resolved on resist¬ 
ance to Pius lX.’s order to close their chapel with¬ 
in its walls. 
Mehemet Pacha, late Turkish Ambassador at 
the Court of Great Britain, arrived early last month 
at Aleppo, of which place he has been appointed 
Governor. 
The Sardinian Minister of Finance has an¬ 
nounced to the Chamber of Deputies that he has 
effected a reduction of 13,000,000f in the expendi¬ 
ture of the State. 
The King of Holland has granted a concession 
to Messrs. C. de Vries, R. N. Ryckevorsel, Fop, 
Smit and Loopuvt, for establishing a steamboat 
service in Netherlands India. 
It is slated that an Archaeologist has lately dis¬ 
covered among the archives at Charters ninety-two 
original lettersof the Kings of France, from Francis 
the First to Louis Eighteenth. 
Sentence of the Baham3. —The Court assem¬ 
bled at Auburn, on the 18th inst., and the Judge 
pronounced sentence upon John Baham, jr., that 
he should be taken from his cell on Friday, the 
14th day of March, between the hours of 10 and 
12, to the place of execution, and there hung by 
the neck until dead. 
Alfred Baham plead guilty to man-slaughter in 
the 2d degree, aud waswmteuced to imprisonment 
in Auburn Slate Prison for 5 years and 3 months. 
The Court House was crowded, and a good share 
ul the audience consisted of ladies. 
Abolition of thk Lash—Its Effect.—A let¬ 
ter to tho editor of the Norfolk Herald, from a cor¬ 
respondent on board of the U. S. ship St. Marys, 
dated Funchal roads, Maderia, Nov. 14ih, says: 
It will be recollected that this ship was the first that 
sailed from the United States under the new act, 
abolishing the inhuman practice of flogging in our 
national vessels. Thus far our crew has shown 
that seamen are capable of being better governed 
by kindness than by the degrading severity of tho 
old law, as not more than two or three cases of vio¬ 
lation of discipline have been reported by Captain 
McCruder, since the ship has been in commission. 
Thf. New York Bible Society. —This Society 
has just issued their 27th annual report, from which 
it appeal's that the distributions and receipts during 
the year just closed, greatly exceeded those of any 
previous year. The number of copies of the Bible 
distributed, was 102,125. The receipts of the So¬ 
ciety for 1850, were $33,651. Such is the aston¬ 
ishingcheapness with which printing may now be 
executed in New York, that this Society furnishes 
complete Bibles at 25 cents per copy, testaments 
cents. 
Post Office Operations. —The Postmaster 
General has established the following new Post 
Offices, for the week ending Jan. 4, 1851:—Mount 
Kisco, Westchester, N. Y., James Hall. Postmas¬ 
ter; Tradesville, Westchester, N. Y., Walter Cox, 
Postmaster; Suspension Bridge, Niagara, N. Y., 
John P. Collier. Postmaster; North Potsdam, St. 
Lawrence, N. Y., Rollin Ashley, Postmaster. 
The Working.— Under the census of 1830, Vir- 1 
ginia had 21 Representatives in Congress. The 
next apportionment gave her 15. The present 
census will entitle her to twelve. 
Indiana in 1830, was a little State—in 1840, she 
had seven Representatives in Congress: and this 
census will give her twelve.—Cleveland (O.) True 
Democrat. 
The Hutchinson Family. —The New York Ex¬ 
press says that Judson Hutchinson has not recov¬ 
ered from his insanity. Jesse now is partaking of 
the same sad calamity. Asa and John are singing 
in New England. Abby is at home in that city.” 
New York Societies in Wisconsin.— There 
are so many New Yorkers in the Badger State, 
that in every principal town. Associations are form¬ 
ing for the purpose of yearly celebrations, &c.— 
The *• Sons of New York” met at Janesville on 
the 24th ult. 
Lake Ontario Steamboat Company. —This 
company has had a prosperous season. They pay 
a dividend of 20 per cent on last year’s business. 
The Albany Journal understands that Mr. Munsen, 
who has been the managing agent o’” the company 
heretofore, retires from the office, and is, we learn, 
to he succeeded by tho veteran Capt. Van Cleve. 
To Readers and Correspondent.— The press 
of business incident to the commencement of a new 
volume, and nil unexpectedly large increase to our 
subscription list, must boourapology for any omis¬ 
sions of duty to readers and correspondents. Or¬ 
ders have come upon us so thick and fast, since the 
1st inst., that we have had little time for other du¬ 
ties—being compelled to neglect to some extent the 
matter and manner of the paper, and defer respond¬ 
ing to numerous letters that require attention.

ment stocks has Itcen readily met without farther change: 
Erie RR. adv. 2 pr ct.; Albany and Schenectady 2 pr cent, 
since Saturday; the stock is in great demand on Albany 
account; Hudson river?; fair demand for money; the wants 
of commerce arc rather greater but the supply is ample and 
rather easy. , 
Albany Market. 
ALBANY, Jan. 20.—Dullness constitutes the leading 
feature in our market to-day. Flour is quiet and unchang¬ 
ed. Buckwheat is saleable at @1,756)1.87, but the bulk of 
the sales have been at the former figure. 1 n the street, 
grain meets with ready sale at the closing rates of Inst week. 
The supply is meagre. Sales. Oats 45<®l8c: Barley ©1,04 
6)1,68; Corn G?6)08c; Rye 746)75: the latter figure is given 
by inalsters for prime tots. In Dressed (logs there is scarce¬ 
ly anything doing. At the Road there were but four offer¬ 
ing. Small sales were made at ©0(52 4,12, for fair to good 
lots. In cut meats there is nothing doing worthy of note, 
and in Butter and Cheese the sales are confined to a retail 
business. Whiskey is steady at 25 c for Prison.—[Jour. 
Buffalo Market. 
BUFFALO, Jan. 18.—We find littleof interest to note In 
the market. Trade is generally very quiet in all branches 
and confined to the demand for consumption in this vicini¬ 
ty. Flour retails at @46)4,124. Wheat is nominal. We 
hear of a sale of a few hundred bushels white Michigan at 
07c. There is very little inquiry for seeds, but the stock is 
held firmly. Dressed hogs come iu quite sparingly and sell 
to retailers at 54c. Mess pork retails freely at @12.—Adv.

To Agents and Others.

the same rate. For instance—if 10 copies have 
been ordered, the price of one or more in addition 
will be $ 1,50 per copy; if 20 copies or over, direct¬ 
ed to individuals, others will be added at $1,25 
each; and if 40 copies, directed to one person, we

mind that it isno* necessary that the papers should 
all be sent to one post office—(except in coses where 
40 copies or over are ordered to be addressed to one

the opinion that all the copies ordered by a club 
should be sent together, but this is not required.— 
\Vo will send to ns many different offices as may be 
desired, provided our terms are complied with—and

THIS Journal has already attained a circula¬ 
tion of several thousand, and acquired a high re¬ 
putation. As au Agricultural and Family Paper it 
has no superior in the Nation. The extensive 
patronage and commendation accorded to the 
work, abundantly sustain this assertion, and fur¬ 
nish the best evidence of its great value and 
popularity—for no journal, however cheap or at¬ 
tractive, could attain such a subscription and 
standing, iu so brief a period, without possessing 
more than ordinary merit 
The second volume will commence on the first 
of January, 1851. Relying mainly upon the 
merits and reputation of the paper for support, the 
Conductor deems it unnecessary to accompany 
this announcement with any extravagant language 
or pompous pledges. Still he may be permitted to 
remark that the facilities at his command are such 
as to warrant him in believing and asserting.that 
the coming volume of the Rural New-Yorker 
will be superior to its predecessor iu most respects 
— anddhat he is determined to spare neither labor 
nor expense to render it far more valuable. 
As heretofore, and as its title indicates, the Ru¬ 
ral New-Yorker will continue to be mainly de¬ 
voted to Agriculture and Horticulture aud their 
kindred Arts and Sciences — its chief object, ,end 
and aim being the promotion of the best interests 
of tho Rural Population of the Country. But 
while this is its most prominent feature, important 
subjects interesting to other classes receive proper 
attention. Its various Departments — embracing 
Agriculture, Horticulture, Mechanic Arts and 
Science, Education, Literature, General Intelli¬ 
gence, Reports of the Crops and Markets, &c., &c. 
— are conducted by gentlemen of experience and 
ability, assisted by a large number of talented Cor¬ 
respondents. Avoiding the trash put forth in too 
many of the so-called family-journals of the day, 
our constant aim is to furnish such a work as shall 
prove eminently valuable and interesting, and thus 
Improve the Mind, without vitiating the Taste or 
corrupting the Heart — one which will be sought 
and valued for the Usefulness, Variety, Purity 
and Excellence of its Contents. 
The Illustrations of the second volume will 
be superior to those already given. We intend 
to give 
OVER 200 ENGRAVINGS! 
Comprising many beautiful and costly illustrations, 
from original designs — thus appropriately embel¬ 
lishing the principal departments of the work.— 
Particular attention will be devoted to Rural 
Architecture, and the plans we shall give will 
probably be worth ten times the price of trie paper 
to many subscribers. 
We shall also present a series of Portraitsof dis¬ 
tinguished Statesmen, Inventors, Divines, Heroes, 
&c. Our design is to give iu the next volume at 
least 
23 DOUBLE COLUMN PORTRAITS, 
executed in the best style of the gravers art, ac¬ 
companied with biographical sketches. See. 
The leading Departments of the New-Yorker 
— Agriculture, Horticulture, Literature, News, the 
Markets, &c.,— will receive additional attention. 
As the paper is designed to benefit the Producing 
Classes, its pages will avoid or condemn humbug 
iu whatever guize it may appear — from wooly 
horses down to Chittagong fowls and patent milkers 
The second volume will contain a Series of 
Letters on 
European Agriculture and Rural Affaire, 
by an American gentleman — the author of seve¬ 
ral works on Agriculture and other subjects—who 
will leave for the Old World during the present 
month. He will visit England, France, Belgium 
—and probably Scotland, Holland and Prussia — 
and furnish results of his observations in the Rural 
Districts of those Countries, Our correspondent 
will also attend the 
WORLD’S INDUSTRIAL FAIR ! 
to be held at London, in May next, and take notes 
of the exhibition. 
In appearance — correctness of execution and 
beauty of print and illustrations — the New-York¬ 
er will continue to be a model sheet, and probably 
a little ahead of successful imitation. 
Each number of the New-Yorker contains 
eight large quarto pagf.3, (of five columus 
each,) yrith Index, &c., at the close of each vol¬ 
ume— rendering it convenient for preservation and 
binding. It is published every Thursday, and 
mailed so as to reach all it subscribers on the prin¬ 
cipal mail routes in this State on that day.

PROPOSALS FOR PUBLISHING 
A PIONEER HISTORY 
OF 
PheljB & Gorham’s Purchase, aud Morris’ Rsserve. I 
[MONROE.] 
BY O. TURNER, 
Author of the Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase. 
T HIS is a deviation from the plan of publishmgoriginal- 
ly announced, to which no subscriptions were solicit¬ 
ed. Instead of publishing one work, under the general 
title of “ Phelps and Gorham’s Purchase, and Morris’ Re¬ 
serve,” it is now proposed to published in separate vol¬ 
umes, for each county, with titles as indicated above. In 
this plan it is confidently believed, the interests of author, 
publisher, purchaser, will be made to harmonize. It obvi¬ 
ates the necessity of a large work, of two volumes, and 
consequently, a high price. Wilde the citizens of Monroe, 
for instance, will have all the general history of Phelps and 
Gorham’s Purchase and Morris’ Reserve,—(embracing the 
counties of Monroe, Ontario, Yates, Steuben, and the great 
er portions of Wayne, Livingston, and Allegany,)—bro't 
down to a late Pioneer period; and the local history of their 
own county; they will not be tinder the necessity of pur¬ 
chasing, at an enhanetd price, the mere local history of 
other counties. 
The publisher, with entire confidence, assures the citi¬ 
zens of Monroe, that the proposed work will fully meet 
their expectations, and merit their liberal patronage. Few, 
if any, historical works haye been ns'well received, and as 
universally commended, as the author’s published work:— 
“ The Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase.” It has 
met with the approval of the public press, of its readers, of 
our State authorities; and with those whose opinions are 
entitled to much weight, is regarded as one of our standard 
historical works. To whatever experience the authorship 
of that work may lie supposed to have brought to the new 
enterprize, has been added, industry, and diligent research 
in all tiie archives of our local region. He h is had access 
to records and memories hitherto unapproached by the his¬ 
torian; and lias collected a mass of materials that will en¬ 
able his readers to make themselves familiar with all the 
interesting and instructive early Reminiscences; to trace 
step by step, and from year to year, the early Pioneer events 
of the Genesee Country;—this now Empire of wealth, pros¬ 
perity, and unparalleled progress. In addition to dilligeut 
research among old records documents, there are lew 
Pioneer neighborhoods the author has not visited, and list¬ 
ened to the recital of early events, from the lips of those 
who have participated in them. 
3' gr” The work will be issued as soon as there are a suf¬ 
ficient number of subscribers to indemnify the expense.— 
It will consist of at least 51)0 large octavo pages, and in all 
respects shall lie as well executed as the best modern speci¬ 
mens of works of a similar character. It will lie delivered 
to subscribers in neat muslin binding, at ©1,50; in substan¬ 
tial leather binding, at ©1,75. 
Agents will be careful to attach to each signature, 
the letters M. or L., (muslin, and leather,) to designate 
their preference. WM. ALL1NG, Publisher.
