ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. 
Foui' days later from Europe. 
Thf. steamship Asia, with Liverpool dates to 
the l‘2th, reached her dock at New York, on the 
23d inst., at 12 o’clock. She made the trip in 10 
days and 19 hours. 
London, April 12.— Provisions —Dull sale.— 
Small lots have met with a decline. Wool dull. 
Stock light. Money plenty and for safe invest¬ 
ment easily obtained. 
The Asia brings £12,750 specie on freight. 
England.— Very little news. The Ilussel Min¬ 
istry continues to be sustained in Parliament. The 
last vote on assessed taxes gave them a majority 
of 13. Protectionists are keeping their eyes open 
hoping for an opportunity of getting a ministry of 
their own with Lord Stanley at its head. 
The Queen has desired the Archbishop of York, 
and the Suffragan Bishops generally to interpose 
their authority for the suppression of certain Ilo- 
mauish practices and tendencies in the various 
churches of the establishment. Acting upon the 
Queen’s wish, the Archbishop and the Bishops, 
with the exception of Bishops of Bath and Welles, 
Exeter, Hockford, and Manchester, have issued a 
circular of a very important character, which looks 
like determination, as the tone of the addresses is 
very decided to put an effectual end to Popish in¬ 
novations in the Church of England. 
Many secessions to Rome are occurring. Among 
them we see the name of Archdeacon Manning, 
whose sermons, republished here by Stanford & 
Swords, have been so widely read. 
The Queen of England visits the Glass Palace 
once a week, and has announced her intention of 
giving some brilliant fetes and magnificent balls 
during the exhibition. She has recently commenc¬ 
ed sending autograph letters of invitation to the 
various Courts of Europe. 
The Executive Committee have issued another 
red-lettered handbill, warning exhibitors, native 
and foreign, that the exhibition will positively and 
undoubtedly open on the 1st of May. 
The experimental character of the building has, 
frotn time to time, developed difficulties against 
which the utmost foresight could not have guard¬ 
ed. Even the weather has for the last few weeks 
conspired against the progress of the works; and, 
to crown all, there has been a partial strike among 
the painters. No doubt is entertained by those 
nost competent to judge that one half of the Clirys- 
tal Palace will be in order for the opening, and we 
are glad to hear from good authority that our visit¬ 
ors from abroad will also bo ready. 
In the House of Lords on the evening of Friday 
the 11th inst., an inquiry was made respecting the 
American tariff, when Mr Labouchere replied 
that a despatch from Sir H. L. Bulwer had appris¬ 
ed the Government of the passage of a bill which 
would obviate the fraudaleut mode of fixing the ad 
valorem duty upon imported goods. 
France.— Paris Bourse. Fives 93 25; Threes 
57 55. 
The Paris Moniteur, publishes the following list 
of the new Ministry: 
M. Caroche, Foreign Affairs; M. Roucher, Jus¬ 
tice; M. Fould, Finance; M. Leon Faucher, In¬ 
terior; M. Buffet, Commerce; M. Chasselottp 
Laubat, Marine; Gen. Baudin, War; M. Magne, 
Public Works. 
Austria.—A powder magazine at Temesnar 
exploded on the 3d inst., destroying a large amount 
of property 7 . 
The depreciation of the paper currency began 
to be fell oppressively through all parts of the Au¬ 
strian dominions. 
The Emperor returned on the 5th instant to 
Vienna from his visit to Italy. 
Turkey— The Liberation of Kossuth. — A letter 
from Constantinople of March 5th, says: The Sul¬ 
tan has refused to accede to the demands of Austria 
to exclude M. Kossuth and seven of his compan¬ 
ions in exile from the benefit of liberation, and the 
Austrian Minister referred to Vienna for fresh in¬ 
structions. 
Accounts at Constantinople, from Damascus, 
state that several French travelers of distinction, 
among them one of the Rothschilds, had been cap¬ 
tured by the Bedouin Arabs, and had only been 
reloaded by the payment of forty thousand piastres 
ransom. 
ARRIVAL OF THE OHIO. 
The steamer Ohio, from New Orleans and Ha¬ 
vana, arrived at New York the 24th ult. She left 
Havana on the 19th. She has 200 passengers 
and $20,000 in gold dust. 
The Georgia left Havana on the 19lh for Cha- 
gres. 
Great Excitement prevailed at Havana in re¬ 
spect to the invasion. So confidently was such an 
event anticipated that during the week before the 
Ohio sailed the Spanish troops weie ordered to 
sleep on their arms. 
Mexican Claims. —The Board of Commission¬ 
ers on Mexican Claims report that the whole num¬ 
ber of memorials presonted was two hundred an<; 
seveuty-two; the number rejected as in ’’dent 
on their face was forty. 
The sum appropriated for the settlement of 
claims was $3,250,000—the aggregate of ah 
awards is $3,203,523, leaving the sum of $46,o~ 
to be paid back to the Mexican Government. 
Annexed aro some of the largest awards made: 
To Lewis J. Hargous, for stone and cannon iur- 
nished for refitting the Castle of dan Juau d’Ulloa 
after its capture by the French* $530,682. 
Doctor Gardiner, $428,000. Union Land Co. 
in Texas, $58,879. Trinity Land Co., $53,559- 
24. Aaron Leggett, $109,000. 
The results are generally satisfactory to the 
claimants. The Board Lave adjourned. 
Panama Railroad.— From the tenor of a letter 
frotn John L. Stephens, Esq., President of the 
Panama Railroad; Company, it appears that there 
are not less than .'900 men now at work upon the 
road, and that t ; .ere is a prospect of completing it 
from Navy Bay i > Gorgona, 26 miles, by the 1st 
of July next. W hen this is done, thedistance be¬ 
tween the twiy oceans can be accomplished in one 
day, and the mangers and toils of the Chagres river 
will thereby be entirely avoided. Forseveral miles 
from the Atlantic depot, the rails are already laid. 
This depot js situated on Manzilla Island in Navy 
Bay, whirls, i connected with the mainland by a 
causeway huih for the purpose. The cars will re¬ 
ts ire p -isengere and freight directly from the 
wharf, tej which vessels drawing 20 feet water will 
s' ; ’ ' to come up. The distance from Gor- 
. is 20 miles. At present there is

EMERY & CO’S. 
New-York State Agricultural Society’s 
FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE POWER, 
AND 
OVERSHOT THRESHER AND SEPARATOR. 
HMIIE attention of the farming public is solicited to the 
X 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 cf Horse Powers and other Agricultural Implements; 
and being acquainted very extensively with the wants of 
the fanners of this country, as well as the character of most 
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 which 
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 
Railroad 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:

Great Sale of Superior Thorough-Bred 
SHORT-HORN CATTLE. 
T HE Subscriber, having more slock titan be can well 
sustain on his farm, will offer at public auction about 
30 head of his Improved Short-horn Cattle—consisting of 
Bulls, Cows, Heifers and Heifer and Bull Calves—on the 
20th day of June next, at his farm 2j miles from this city, 
(Troy.) 
It is known to breeders of improved stock, in this coun¬ 
try, and in Canada, that the proprietor of this herd, during 
the past 12 years has, through the medium of importations 
from England, and selections from the best herds in this 
country, spared no expense to rear a herd of Cattle from 
which superior animals could be safely drawn, for im¬ 
provement and crosses upon other herds. His importations 
have been derived from that eminent breeder, the late Titos. 
Bates, Esq., of Kirktevington, Yorkshire, England— 
which herd, it is well known, has recently been disposed 
of at public sale by his administrators, and dispersed in 
many hands, and can no longer be resorted to as a whole 
for improvement. The announcementof that sale, created 
great interest, and all short-horn breeders in England seem¬ 
ed emulous to secure one or more of these animals, to min¬ 
gle with the blood of their own herds; and at the day of 
sale, there was found assembled the largest audience ever 
before witnessed upon a similar occasion, numbering as 
was said, from 4 to 5,000 persons, and among them the best 
breeders in England, and several from other countries, 
some of tiie animals bringing prices that seemed incredible 
to many. 
In the herd now offered for sale, will be included the im¬ 
ported Bull “ Duke of Wellington” and the premium Bull 
“ Meteor.” These are Bates’ bulls, and their reputation as 
stock getters is too well known to need any comment. [ 
am, however, authorized by Lewis F. Allen, Esq., of 
Black Rock, one of the most prominent breeders m this 
country, and who has had ample means of (orminga judg¬ 
ment, to say—“ That in no instance to his knowledge, had 
these two bulls been bred to short-norn cows of other herds 
previously imported into the United States, but what the 
produce was superior in general qualities to such herds.” 
The most of the stock which is now offered for sale, has 
been bred from these two bulls, and the proprietor having a 
young bull more remotely connected with that portion of 
the herd he.retains, (being about 14 in number) can spare 
these two valauble bulls. There will be in the stock offer¬ 
ed for sale 6 young bulls from 8 months to about 2 years 
old, in addition to the two named above, and the remainder 
of tiie stock will be composed of cows, (most of them |>os- 
sessed of extraordinary milking qualities,) heifers and 
heifer calves. It is believed that no herd of short-horns has 
ever beeno ffered for sale in this country, exhibiting more of 
the valuable combinations of qualities which contribute to 
make up perfect animals. 
A catalogue containing the pedigrees of these animals, 
will be ready for delivery at an early period, in which the 
terms of the sale will be particularly stated. A credit will 
tie given from 6 to 18 months. Gentlemen are invited to 
examine the herd at their convenience. GEO. VAIL.

shafts, with nuts and screws for confining the wheels, &c. 
The Converge wheel, C, confined on the end of the for¬ 
ward shaft, b, by means of its concave hub, coupling screw 
and nut a. The pinion D, confined in like manner on the 
end of the other shaft b, and so arranged ns to work into 
the converge gear, C. The driving puilcy B with concave 
hull, confined in like manner to tiie opposite end of "lie pin¬ 
ion shaft b, on the opposite side of the power; tiie two iron 
reels c c confined on the forward shaft, inside the frame 
near the sills. 
Fig. 2, represents the side and edge view of the coupling 1 
fingers, a, a, a, a, or hub, which is fixed firmly and perma¬ 
nently to the ends of potit shafts, b, b. 
Fig. 3 represents the face 
view of the converge gear 
wheel, C, and pinion D, as 
working together when in, 
use — which are confined 
, on the shafts outside tiie 
[frame of the power. One 
of the arms of tiie wheel 
has a plate projecting a 
Utile from its face, and 
calculated for receiving a 
wrist pin for driving a pit¬ 
man, or connecting rod, 
often used, and necessary 
for propelling crosscut 
saw-i, pumping wafer, 
churning butter, &c., &c., 
where a vibratory motion is desired. 
Fig. 4. B represents a face 
or side view of tiw band 
wheel, three feet diameter, the 
hull of which is formed of 
two iron plates so made as to 
form cavities to receive the 
spokes as represented, and 
when bolted through the « 
spokes and plates forms a j 
strong and substantial wheel, jj; 
The back plate is also con¬ 
cave to receive a nut. fasten¬ 
ing and fitting al o to each 
and all the couplings. 
Fig. 5, represents the side 
view of one of the reels, c, 
Iwo of which are confined 
upon the forward shaft. The 
driving pulley, B, may be at¬ 
tached to either end of shafts, 
b, as required for fast or slow 
motions. 
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 
whole circuit, except at the 
forward end of tiie 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 
tiie 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 bearing, 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, &c. &c. 
When less motion is desired for other purposes, the band 
pulley B may be 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 lie confined upon the reel shaft and 
converge witeel upon the other, which serves to reduce the 
motion to about fourteen revolutions per minute, with in¬ 
creased power in proportion to decreased motion, tlietrav 
el of horses being the same in ail 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, &c.. and where it may be 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 
the 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 tiiem equal, if not superior, to 
any before made or sold by us, or of which we have auy 
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 straw 
is carried off' for stacking. 
Having heretofore been obliged to have a large jiortion of 
some parts of our work done by contract, we have felt the 
inconvenience and want of dependance to be placed upon 
tiie quality of materials and workmanship; we have now 
so extended our facilities, as to enable us to make all parts 
of all our own machines, and can now assure the public 
that none but tiie best worn and stock will be offered by us.

DRAIN-TILE FACTORY. 
T HE subscriber having built a large addition to his Fac¬ 
tory the past season, lias now in successful operation 
a tile machine, after the same pattern as the the one im¬ 
ported from England by John Delafied, Esq., of Seneca 
Co., N. Y. He has now about 20,000 ready for field and 
cellar drains, and intends to manufacture 200,900 this sea¬ 
son. The price will vary according to size, from ©8 to 
©16 per thousand. Flats half the price of tile. A thou¬ 
sand will lay between 65 and 70 rods of drain, and 40 rod 
of three inch tile, make a load for a good team. 
N. B. Any Farmer that will cotneand get a load of tile, 
and drain some wet swale with them; and when lie has 
had two crops of grain on the land, if he will say that its 
improvement and extra yield of crops don’t pay 21 per cent 
interest on the outlay, I will make up that amount to him at 
his request.
