ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMSHIP ARCTIC- 
Four Days Later from Europe, 
The Arctic arrived at Now York on the 22 inst., 
with 100 passengers nnd four days later news from 
Europe. Cotton closed firm. 
Liverpool, June 10.—The imports of groin and 
flour from Ireland and coastwise this week, are 
trivial, whilst the exports increase; and since last 
Tuesday embrace some 4,500 quarters wheat, 5,- 
150 barrels and 1,256 sacks of flour, 18,500 quarters 
of corn, 918 barrels of meal, with fair quantities of 
every other article of the grain trade. 
Prices have not varied much during the week, 
bnt where any change has occurred it has been 
favorable to sellers. 
The Corn Exchange this morning was well at¬ 
tended by millers and dealers, with a good active 
demand. The prices on every article has improved. 
The advance since this day last week may be 
called 2d per hush, on wheat, and 6d to Is per bbl. 
and sack on flour, * to Id per bush, on oats; 6'd per 
quarter on Indian corn; Is. per quarter on beans. 
Several large purchases of wheat and flour were 
made to-day to go some distance into the interior, 
which is an important new feature, and indicates 
thus early before harvest that there are lower stocks 
in the grower’s hands than most people calculate.

The San Francisco Fire. 
Instead of any attempt at giving the particulars 
of this great disaster, which want of space must 
make a meagre one, we copy the following from 
the N. Y. Tribune: 
If ever any people earned a rightful claim to 
final success, these people are the Californians.— 
During the brief period of their organized exist¬ 
ence, tiieir history has been a constant succession 
of checks and catastrophes, all of which they have 
undergone and overcome, with a patient energy 
which nothing seems able to subdue. With the 
exception, perhaps, of the great fires in New York 
and Hamburg no fire which has occurred in the 
present generation has been so destructive in its 
consequences as the recent conflagration in Sail 
Francisco. While in extent it nearly equals the 
two former, the inordinate value of properly swells 
the actual loss to a much greater amount. The 
private advices received yesterday by some of the 
principal mercantile firms of this city are at vari¬ 
ance with the newspaper accounts, the latter esti¬ 
mating the loss at from seven to twenty millions, 
while the former place it at about two millions.— 
The list of individual losses which we published 
yesterday, amounts in the aggregate to more than 
six millions, and this sum, we presume is some¬ 
where near the truth. 
The conflagration raged ten hours, and the 
scene is described as having been one of the most 
appalling magnificence. A large proportion of 
the houses being frame, caught like tinder, and 
the immense mass of flames fanned by a strong 
wind shrivelled up and consumed everything in its 
path. The rapidity with which it spread, leaping 
from street to street, and hemming in with its re¬ 
lentless barriers those who had lingered in the hope 
ef rescuing tiieir property, till they fell and perish¬ 
ed before the eyes of the spectators, gives the ca¬ 
tastrophe a tragic and terrible interest. Instances 
are related where the victim,' who had forced his 
way through that sea of fire, turned again as if im¬ 
pelled by a horrible fascination, and madly rushed 
into the flame. While these scenes were enacting, 
and a small band of citizens was periling life to 
stay the devastation, thousands of spectators—as 
we learn from the letters of our correspondents— 
looked on supinely and refused to lend their aid 
except on the most exorbitant terms. The main 
body of the conflagration was only arrested by the 
water, and its force being thus scattered, it was at 
length prevented from extending further in other 
directions. 
On the smoking and blackened district, covered 
with charred timbers, like the remains of a burnt 
forest, three hundred and. ffty-secen houses were 
wholly or partially erected in ten days afterwards. 
The whole number of buildings going up in the 
city at the same time, was six hundred. In spite 
of the terrible blow to the business of the city, the 
courage and perseverence of the sufferers does not 
seem to have flagged for a single day, and the San 
Francisco papers confidently predict that in two 
months the burnt district will be entirely rebuilt. 
We know of no parallel to such indomitable enter¬ 
prise. 
In spite of the large sums thereby withdrawn 
from the ordinary channels there was no diminu¬ 
tion in the amount of gold dust shipped at San 
Francisco on the 15th ult., the Northerner and N. 
Orleans having two millions in freight. In addi¬ 
tion lo this, the passengers by the Crescent City 
are known to have brought a large amount—esti¬ 
mated by some as high as two millions—which 
was not entered on her manifest. The recupera¬ 
tive energies of California society have been too 
thoroughly proved, for us to anticipate any perma¬ 
nent injury to the prospects of San Francisco, from 
this visitation. The unusual richness of the golden 
harvest this year, and the consequent activity in all 
branches of trade through! the interior, are also 
favorable to the speedy restoration of all that has 
been lost. 
A Splendid Pictorial Number! 
The second half volume of the Rural New- 
Yorker will be commenced bv issuing a beauti¬ 
fully ILLUSTRATED NUMBER—a Patriotic 
Pictorial for the Fourth of July l We shall en¬ 
deavor to make the Pictorial the most beautiful and 
valuable sheet ever got up in this section of the 
Union. And unless our figures are wrong, we 
shall succeed iu producing something which will 
prove most acceptable and gratifying to every 
member of our well filled Rural Circle. 
This is more than we promised,our friends or 
bargained for,—but tlio encouragement we are 
daily receiving induces us to make the outlay iu 
return for the ample patronage bestowed upon the 
Rural. The Pictorial will be issued the first week 
in July, and furnished to all who subscribe for the 
second half volume in season. Those who have 
been waiting for cheap postage will be just in time 
to secure the Illustrated Number, if they subscribe 
early. We hope every reader will circulate this 
announcement, and solicit and forward subscrip¬ 
tions. Clubs in ay bo formed for the half year, at 
the same proportional rates as for the whole.

FIRST PREMIUM 
ItAILROAD HORSE POWER. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and 
sold by the subscribers, are offered the public with the 
assurance that they are all they are represented—they hav¬ 
ing been very extensively nnd thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side by side, with all the tread powers known, of 
any note in the country, and been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee 
on Horse-Powers, in a communication written several 
months after the awarding of premium to the above Horse¬ 
power, says: “ I spent much time at the late State Fair. 
[Sept. 1850,] at Albany, in examining the various Horse- 
rowers, viz., Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery Sc 
Co’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all they 
could say, and again in their absence—and the result most 
fully con vinced me that yours was the best, and if I want¬ 
ed one, I would give, TWENTY DOLLARS more for 
yours than any others on the grounds; and as.you have 
won the laurels fairly, it is just that you should receive a 
full reward.” 
He further says—“ You know from experience that 1 
have no sort of partiality for your establishment, and as a 
committee-man of said Society for years. I have decided 
against you oftener than for you; and if others have a bet¬ 
ter article than you, I would decide it) tiieir favor, if the 
decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may.” 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the 
foregoing, which, together with the changeable gearing, and 
other important improvements adopted since last season, 
make it the most convenient, durable, efficient, and eco¬ 
nomical Horse-Power now made; and the public may rest 
assured of being furnished by us with a superior machine.

HUSSEY’S HEAPING MACHINE. 
W E would respectfully call the attention of farmers to 
the fact that we have the agency and the sale of the 
above named Reaper, in all that part of the Stale of New 
York west of Seneca county, and we are also general 
agents for the United State- and Canada. We sell the 
Reapers at the manufacturer’s prices, adding only costot 
transportation. They can he examined at our store in 
Rochester, and also at Brown & Mills, Mt. Morris, Litton 
Sc Jones, Moscow, H. T. McNair and Nalt B. Manus, near 
Dansville, and H. Curtis, Albion. All who design purchas¬ 
ing are earnestly requested to hand in tiieir orders at ouce 
as this will enable us to have on hand in season all that 
may be required, nnd prevent any being disappointed as 
might be the case if orders were delayed till the harvest 
had begun. That they are the best Reapers made, and that 
it would lie greatly to the advantage of farmers to have 
them, there is no doubt. 
Annexed are a few of the many certificates which might 
be given; 
Macedok, Aug. 29, 1849. 
Messrs. Rapaije & Co.—Gents:—The Reaping Machine 
I bought of you, made by Messrs Eldred & Hussey, at Au¬ 
burn, has been thoroughly tested by me the present har¬ 
vest, and I am happy to say has exceeded my most san¬ 
guine expectations. I have cut with it lz5 acres of wheat 
besides mv own crop, making some 200 acres ol oats and 
wheat; and I can confidently recommend it to my brother 
farmers as just the machine they want 1 have cut 12 
acres of oats in half a day, and 20 acres of siout wheat in 
one day, with three horses abreast, and most of it was bad 
cutting. I think I can cut 25 acres of good wheat in a 
day, and do it better than can be done in any other way.— 
My machine is now in perfect order, and 1 consider it full 
as good as when 1 got it of you. 
Yours most respectfully, Tiros. Rusiimore. 
Wheatland, Aug. 20, 1849. 
Messrs Eldred Sc Hussey—Gents:—I have now used one 
of your Reaping Machines for two years, and do most 
cheerfully say that it has given the best satisfaction. 1 
have cut my whole harvest, and a large one too, with my 
ordinary farm hands. I have cut 20 acres of stout wheat 
a day with ease, and I would most cheerfully recommend 
it to my brother fanners as the best and most economical 
machine that is used on a farm. In lact l think so much 
of it that five hundred dollars would not induce me to part 
with it if I could not get another. I have also two broth¬ 
ers, 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 Rapaije Sc Briggs, will 
sell a large number of them in our county next se ison, as 
many of my acquaintances have told me they intend to 
purchase one of your Reapers another season. 
A nan Harmon. 
Bergen, Sept. 1, 1851. 
This is to certify that I have this season used one of 
Hussey’s Reaping Machines, which I purchased of Messrs 
Rapaije & Briggs, of Rochester, and that it gives perlect 
satisfaction. 1 have cut my wheat which was very badly 
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 farm¬ 
ers, and I could not now, after proving its merits, be indu¬ 
ced to be without one. Noah Wilbur. 
Greece, Sept. 7, 1850. 
Messrs Rapaije & Briggs—Gent’n:—The Reaping Ma¬ 
chine bought of you by Mr. Champion, for me, exceeds 
any thing of the kind I ever saw. You will remember 
that when I got it I said to you I was Pure it would not 
work in my badly lodged wheat, as 1 had eeu McCor¬ 
mick’s tried repeatedly, and it was a perfect failure; but I 
was most agreeably disappointed. It cut any of my wheat 
better and faster than eight good cradiers could do, and I 
think it saved me from two to three dollars per acre in all 
my lodged wheat, in getting it clean and fast. In short, 
too muchcannot be said in its favor. I would not sell it, 
if 1 could not get another, for one thousand dollars, for 
should I raise as much wheat for eight or ten years to come 
as I have for the last ten, it would save me more than that 
sum, and I think it will last me longer than that.

ABOUT THOSE PLOW PATTERNS. 
TTTF. called on J R. & Co., agreeably to their request, 
V V to have those PATTERNS “ POINTED out” to 
us. as they had contradicted us, and were told that they 
had fitted up a set of castings from OUR PATTERNS, 
and they had some of their casting lone at Henrietta and 
some in the city. We accordingly went up to Henrietta 
and found nothing of the sort, as vve expected. We then 
made inquiries at the foundries in the oily, and found noth¬ 
ing, as weexpec.ted. We afterwards made other inquiries 
of tl em, and they refused to “ point ’em out.” Cause 
why? We guess they have no patterns to point out.— 
They may have some castings from abroad, butno “ton,” 
that might be cramped on to the C Plows,butof no concern 
in town, nor any where else. o\n so good a fit be had as 
from us, as ours are the ORIGINAL PATTERNS—the 
PAT'I ERNS FROM WHICH THE PLOWS WERE M ADE. Let 
him who attempts to deceive be rebuked. “ A word to the 
wise is sufficient.” BRIGGS & BRO , 
74 Ng. 68 State street, Rochester. 
.trOUE ABOUT THOSE PATTERNS. 
W E have no disposition to bandy words with our 
neighbors about those POINTS or patterns, hav¬ 
ing enough of them to furnish all who may favor us with 
a call, though it may require many “ tons,” and patterns 
from which to make more, which will be warranted to fit 
in all cases. “ A word to the wise,” &.C., may be suffi¬ 
cient, but to some, words and facts are of little avail.

i the late State Fair at Syracuse, the First Premium 
was awarded to Titos. 11. Burrall for the bestORAiN 
Reaper, in coinjietition with Hussey’s and McCormick’s, 
(lioih present.) Since then, he has perfected another, con¬ 
taining many new and splendid improvements, which ren¬ 
der it a machine of greater utility, strengtli and durability, 
(ban any ever before offered to the public. 
1st. U 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 violence of tiie 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, rives 
a new character to tiie 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 titled to the knives, it cuts 
grain, timothy or clover seed,—wetor dry,—without clog¬ 
ging. In addition to these important improvements, tiie 
frame is strong and compact, and lies above all the level of 
[ the apron, in order to pass through gates and over water 
lurrows, without hitting. 
The wheel is large, and works well on rough ground; 
I he shifting gear, and the entire arrangement of the working 
parts, extremely neat and convenient, and the whole made 
of the best materials, and finished with great care. 
It has no reel to waste the grain, no pullics, straps, or 
loose harness to get out of order, but is strong and simple, 
just what the Farmer needs to do his work well, without 
die risk of loss by breaking down in the midst of his har¬ 
vest. 
It is warranted to be thoroughly built, and to w'ork well; 
and if any part proves defective and is returned, it is lo be 
made good without charge; and the machine when sold, is 
made to work well, or the money returned. 
Terms—Gash or approved notes. Orders should be 
sent in early, to give time for perfect work. 
Sizes.— No. 1, 4 feet 6 in. No. 2, 5 feet. No. 3, 5 feet 
6 in. No. 4,6 feet cut. 
BURR ALL’S REAPER. 
As the Reaper has been in use during the past season 
only, the following testimonials from respectable; farmers 
are offered : 
Wolcot, Nov. 1, 1859; 
1 used one of Mr. Hurrah'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. 
rl , Phelps, 5th September, 1950. 
I hereby certify, that I have seen Mr. Burrall’s new Grain 
Reaper thoroughly tried, and am satisfied that it can never 
|*e 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. T have no hesitation in recommending 
il as tiie best I have ever seen. WM. P. DIMICK. ° 
Benton Farm, Ontario county. 
I have one of Mr. Burrall’s new Reapers, and have tri¬ 
ed it this fall for cutting clover seed. I 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 tew minutes, so 
as to cut close to the ground, or at any height required, and 
never clogs even in the stoutest grass. It is very strong in 
iu all its parts, and very convenient for use. Jt requires 
but a moderate motion for the team, and may be worked 
by oxen as well as horses. 1 think it does not require as 
heavy draft as ordinary cross plowing.

We, the undersigned, have seen the machine at work, 
and fully concur in the above statement.

Seneca, 12th Sept., I860. 
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, as it runs 
lighter, cuts better, and is far mare convenient, especially 
on rough ground—it is thoroughly finished with brass boxes 
and steel couplings throughout. ' The construction and ar¬ 
rangementof 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.
