THE CANADA AT HALIFAX. 
) TitE steamer Canada, from Liverpool 15th, for 
s Boston, arrived at Halifax on the 27th ult. with 75 
l passengers. The mails have not been received yet 
) at New York. 
) By telegraph we learn that the government of 
j Lord John Russell is still very v eak; he can not 
) got his friends to rally round him, and it is now ful- 
) ]y anticipated that there will soon be a dissolution 
( of parliament and a general election. 
) U. S. frigate gt. Lawrence arrived off Cowes 
\ 0 n the afternoon of the 12th, with the American 
( contributions to the great exhibition of 1851. 
) We have news of various conspiracies proposed 
l or threatened in Italy, but nothing positive. 
) From the Cape o r Good Hope, we learn that 
) the Caffre war is likely to be more prolonged than 
c was at first anticipated. Sir Harry Smith, at the 
( head of five thousand men, had given battle and 
killed seventy or eighty. 
A large body of Hungarians and Polish refu¬ 
gees from the late struggle in Hungary, had arri¬ 
ved in Liverpool bound for America, but on their 
<, arrival from Turkey at Liverpool they were met 
) by a deputation from the London democratic com- 
) mittee, who have induced them to remain in Eng- 
, laud, in order, as they say, to be at hand in case 
; their aid should be required to assist the democrat¬ 
ic ic cause in either France or Hungary.

EMERY & CO’S. 
Neiv-York State Agricultural Society’s 
FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE POWER, 
AND 
OVERSHOT THRESHER AND SEPARATOR. 
T HE attention of the farming public is solicited to the 
newly improved Railroad Horse Power, as now made 
by the subscribers. Also to their Over-Shot Spike Cylinder 
Threshers, with Vibrating and Revolving Separators. 
Having had much experience in the sale and manufac¬ 
ture of Horse Powers and other Agricultural Implements; 
and being acquainted very extensively with the wants of 
the farmers of this country, as well as the character of mo-t 
of the implements and machines now in use, we think we 
hazard nothing in pronouncing our latest improved Power 
far superior to any before made or sold by us, or with vvhicli 
we are acquainted. 
At the late Fair of the New York State Agricultural So¬ 
ciety, held at Albany, their committee on Horse Powers 
unanimously awarded us the highest premium for the best 
Rajlroad Horse Power, among the large number of the most 
popular and approved kinds of the day, which were on 
exhibition and in competition,—it being considered the most 
efficient and durable on the ground. 
As the principal mechanical parts of its construction dif¬ 
fer so materially from those mostly sold by us previously to 
the past season, as well as from all others now in use, we 
have thought it an object to the farmers, as well as for our 
own interest, to illustrate them by cuts and descriptions, as 
follows: 
AGRICULTURAL MACHINE SHOP, 
i The winter of 1851, appears to have been 
s quite mild in England and Europe. Onthelstof 
) January in Paris, the buds of early trees had started 
' and apricots were in bloom. In England the 
S weather was uncommonly mild, and the season 
) early. At Washington on Wednesday, the grass 
( plats at the Capital exhibited a vivid green, which 
was truly grateful to tho eye, after the dullness of 
winter, and almanac dayfor the coming month.— 
, Boston Transcript. 
) Western Texas. —The evidences of the great 
( resources of Western Texas are every day increas- 
) ing. Yesterday a specimen of natural salt, found 
) eight miles from Corpus Christi, whs handed us, 
) which appeared perfectly pure, while it is stated 
) that the supply is inexhaustible. Carts are sent 
} out and the salt is shoveled in with little labor and 
) expense. What gives it increased value is that 
) the beef, which is raised so extensively in that sec- 
l tion, can be much more easily cured with this salt 
) than any other, as it takes or absorbs the salt with 
) the greatest facility. It is further thought that 
c this article when ground, will make a fine salt for 
( the table, and for all cooking purposes.— N. O. 
) Picayune. 
i Interpretation of the Cheap Postage Law. 
—The Post Master General has decided that un- 
\ der the new postage law which takes effect on the 
j> 1st of July, weekly papers only, are entitled tocir- 
) culate in the mail free of postage, in the county 
\ where published, and that in estimating the vari- 
) ous distances mentioned in the act, the office of 
) publication is the starting place and not county 
< lines. The phraseology of the act on these points 
) is not very clear. Its meaning is, however, ex- 
) plained by the Department as above. 
) A New California in South Carolina. —A 
) lump of gold weighing near one-quarter of a pound 
s and other particles of a similar size, (says the An- 
> derson Gazette,) have been discovered in some 
<j of the pits sunk on the Greenville and Columbia 
. railroad, near the Saluda river. Those lumps 
) were found on land belonging to Major Wellborn. 
( A California mine would complete the ruin of 
I South Carolina; she would at once positively re¬ 
fuse to bestow any notice whatever on the balance 
of mankind.

Please Note the Fact! 
t The present is just the time for those who have 
- not already done so, to subscribe for the Rural 
) New-Yorker. We commence a new quarter 
( this week, with increased facilities to furnish a 
) good paper, and can easily add thousands to our 
> present large edition—already the greatest of any 
( newspaper published in this city, or section of New 
> York. Those who prefer, can subscribe for six 
) months—and new clubs can be formed for either 
’ six or nine months, or additions made to those al- 
; ready organized. 
Agents and o'hers should not “ forget to re- 
j member” our July Premiums. They aro cer- 
) tainly worth contending for, and will repay a little 
j extra attention and exertion. We trust all who 
) like the Rural will embrace the present favorable 
) opportunity, to have it known and read by their 
) acquaintances—and this many of our friends are 
j doing, without regard to the premiums. 
) More Premiums! 
\ Is November last we published a list of specific 
) premiums, to persons obtaining subscribers to the 
• Rural (and not competing for our large and gene- 
> ral prizes,) previous to the 1st of March. Under 
) that offer we have given sevei-al hundred volumes 
) of the Farmer and other books—the most of our 
( friends preferring specific premiums—but having 
) many more volumes of the same valuable works on 
| hand, wo propose to dispose of them to such as are 
> lending or may hereafter lend their kind offices in 
j behalf of the Rural New-Yorker. Therefore, to 
) all who do not compete for our large prizes, we of- 
) fer the following 
) Specific Premiums : 
> For a remittance of $2, previous to the first of 
} July next, we will send the New-Yorker one 
> year, and the Genesee Farmer for 1843 or 1349, (as 
^ preferred) stitched and bound in colored paper, 
^ suitable for mailing. For $5, as above, wo will 
> send three copies of the New-Yorker one year, and 
) bound volumes of the Farmer for 1848 and 1849.— 
c For $ 10 we will send six copies of the New-Yorker 
) —and an extra copy, and bound vols. of the Farmer 
> for 1848 and 1849. For $15 we will send 10 copies 
) of the New-Yorker—and an extra copy, and any 
^ three volumes of the Farmer published in octavo 
) form, [except the one for 1850,]—or [instead of 
( extra copy and Farmers] $2 in Books. For $25 or 
> more we will send 20 copies of the New-Yorker— 
> and an extra copy, and five volumes of the Genesee 
' Farmer, from 1845 to 1849 inclusive, [being all the 
, volumes published in octavo form, except tho last] 
i —or [instead of extra copy] $2 in agricultural or 
( other Books. O’Competitors for these premiums 
^ must mention tho fact and designate what they 
) want, in the letter containing remittance—when

according to time for delivery. There is a fair business 
doing in seeds—clover sells at $5,25 35,50; timothy $2,25 
32,75; flax $1,25. Not much doing in provisions—mess 
pork sells at $13; mess beef $8,50; lard scarce and sells

prices as low, and upon terms as favorable as those of New 
York Jobbers. We shall at all times have astockon hand 
of new and desirable goods, and guarantee that all goods 
sold by us shall lie satisfactory to tho purchaser, both in 
quality and price. The location of our store and ware¬ 
houses, immediately upon the Canal, affords us facilities 
not possessed by any other house in the trade in Rochester, 
and enables us to forward goods daily by Canal without

often used, and necessary

b, as required for fast or slow ^ 
® The endless platform is 
composed of links connect¬ 
ed by small shafts extending 
across the power, and thro’ 
them far enough to receive 
small truck wheels, which 
support the platform, and 
traverse on an iron track the 
iq.5j whole circuit, except at the 
® * forward end of the power— 
when the small shafts are received into and supported by 
the forks of the reels, c, on the forward shaft, thereby giv¬ 
ing it motion and power. 
The diameter of the reels is such, that the ordinary walk 
of horses, or about two miles and a quarter per hour, give 
them about fifty-five revolutions per minute. The diame¬ 
ter of the pinion D being about one fourth the diameter of 
the converge gear, and consequently receive about two 
hundred and twenty motions per minute, and in the same 
direction —which direction is found most convenient for 
all purposes, and indispensable for driving our Over-Shot 
Threshing Machines, without crossing of bands. The pin¬ 
ion working inside of the converge gear, allows more cogs 
to be in constant hearing, is stronger, and runs much light¬ 
er than spurr gearing, or rack and pinion. When arranged 
as in diagram, Fig. 1, sufficient speed is obtained with 
either horses or oxen, (which last are often used) for 
threshing grain, ginning cotton, sawing wood, grinding 
feed, grating apples, Sec. Sec. 
When less motion is desired for other purposes, the band 
pulley B may he attached to either end of the reel shaft, and 
receive but fifty-five revolutions; and when still slower 
motion is required, as for driving Elevators, Hay Presses, 
and paddle wheels for ferry boats, or propelling boats in the 
lumber and wood business, on many of our rivers and 
lakes, the pinion may he confined upon the reel shaft, and 
converge wheel upon the other, which serves to reduce the 
motion to about fourteen revolutions per minute, with in¬ 
creased power in proportion to decreased motion, the trav¬ 
el of horses being the same in all cases. 
The advantages of these arrangements are numerous, and 
plainly seen—one of which is removing all the gearing and 
wearing parts to the outside of the power, where it is free 
from dust, and dirt, Sec., and where it may tie boxed up, 
requiring little time or oil to keep them in the best possible 
running order. 
The liability of breakage and wear, and slipping of links 
and pinions, as in the rack and pinion powers, (and most 
others) is wholly removed. In shipping them, the gears 
are taken off and packed in a box with other things. 
Having sold a large number of the Improved Machines 
lhe past harvest, all of which, having given entire satisfac¬ 
tion, and when used side by side with the most approved 
of other kinds, having been preferred, we do not hesitate to 
recommend and warrant them equal, if not superior, to 
any before made or sold by us, or of which we have any 
knowledge. 
Our Thresher consists of a small spiked cylinder, about 
fifteen inches in diameter, and twenty-six inches long, with 
a substantial spiked concave this above cylinder, which is 
adjustable to the work to be done. The feeding table being 
level, allows the feeder to stand erect, and is little annoyed 
with dust and dirt—and no possibility of hard substances 
getting into the thresher, to its injury. 
We attach a v brating or revolving separator to them, 
which serves to separate all the grain from the straw, and 
leave it with the fine chaff for fanning mill, while the str,.w 
is carried oft' fbr stacking. 
Having heretofore been obliged to have a large portion of 
some parts of our work done by contract, we have felt the 
inconvenience and want of dependance to be placed upon 
the quality of materials and workmanship; we have now 
so extended our fheilities, as to enable us to make all parts 
of all our own machines, and can now assure the public 
that none hut the best work and stock will he offered by us.

A T the late State Fair at Syracuse, the First Premium 
AY was awarded to Thus. D. Burra r.r, for the best Grain 
Reaper, in competition with Hussey’s and McCormick’s, 
(both present.) Since then, he has perfected another, con¬ 
taining many new and splendid improvements, which ren¬ 
der it a machine of greater utility, strength and durability, 
than any ever before offered to the public. 
1 st. It has a balance wheel on the top of the crank shaft 
which aids the driving wheel in crossing water furrows, 
relieves the gearings from the viol$se«of the crank motion, 
increases the effective force of the cutters, forms a con¬ 
venient level for shifting the wheels for oiling, and by the 
uniform motion produced by its compensating power, gives 
a new character to the whole machine. 
2d. It cuts at any height required, and discharges the 
: grain at the side or in the rear if preferred, by a few min¬ 
utes change. . 
3d. By means of a new guard of cast iron,—which will 
neither bend nor break,—neatly fitted to the knives, it cuts f 
: grain, timothy or clover seed,—wet or dry,—without clog- , 
! ging. In addition to these important improvements, the . 
frame is strong and compact, and lies above all the level of 1 
the apron, in order to pass through gates and over water ; 
furrows, without hitting. 1 
The wheel is large, and works well on rough ground; c 
the shifting gear, and the entire arrnngementof the working 
parts, extremely neat and convenient, and the whole made c 
of the best materials, and finished with great care. 
It has no reel to waste the grain, no pullies, straps, or 1 
loose harness to get out of order, but is strong and simple, 
just what the Farmer needs to do his work well, without 
the risk of loss by breaking down in the midst of his har- ! 
vest.

BURRALL’S REAPER. i 
As the Reaper has been in use during the past season ' 
only, the following testimonials from respectable farmers r 
are offered: 
Wolcot, Nov. J, 1859. 1 
T used one of Mr. Burrall’s new Reapers to cut about 20 
acres of wheat last harvest. It requires but two horses, 
does its work well, cuts clean whether the grain be wet or 
dry, and leaves the sheaves in fine order for binding. I 
know no machine that runs lighter or makes better work. 
WILLIAM STUBBS. 
r Phelps, 5th September, 1850. 
I hereby certify, that I have seen Mr. Burrall’s new Grain 
Reaper thoroughly tried, and am satisfied that it can never 
be clogged, but will cut grain of all kinds, and clover seeds 
in all conditions. The gearings and frame are uncommon¬ 
ly strong, and well arranged; and every part of the machine 
is got up in first rate order for convenience and durability. 
It requires no faster walk, or harder draft for horses, than 
common plowing. I have no hesitation in recommending 
it as the best I have ever seen. WM. P. D1MICK. 
Benton Farm, Ontario county. 
I have one of Mr. Burrall’s new Reapers, and have tri¬ 
ed it this fall for cutting clover seed. 1 have cut from 15 
to 20 acres, and find it does the work well, and beyond my 
best expectations. It is easily shifted in a few minutes, so 
as to cut close to the ground, or at any height required, and 
never clogs even in the stoutest grass, if is very stron" in 
in all its parts, and very convenient for use. it requires 
hut a moderate motion for the team, and may be worked 
by oxen as well as horses. I think it does not require as 
heavy draft as ordinary cross plowing. 
THOMAS BUTCHER. 
We, the undersigned, have seen the machine at work, 
and fully concur in the above statement.

„ Seneca, 12th Sept., 1850. 
Mr. Burrall.—Sir: I have used your new Grain Reaper 
this season, and am not only pleased with it, but perfectly 
convinced that it is the best I have ever seen, ns it runs 
lighter, cuts I letter, and is far more convenient, especially 
on rough ground—it is thoroughly finished with brass boxes 
and steel couplings throughout. The construction and ar¬ 
rangement of the whole are exceedingly strong and dura¬ 
ble, and by a very neat and ingenious contrivance, it is 
made to cut the grain at any height. 
I have no doubt of its entire success, and can confident¬ 
ly recommend it to the public as a very valuable improve¬ 
ment. VV. W. BRISTOL.
