\ AERr/AL or THE STEAMER WASHINGTON. 
One Week Later from Europe 
l Tm. steamship Washington, from Southamp- 
i ton, July 16th, arrived at New York, Thursday 
) noon, dhe went ashore, the previous evening, 
< just inside of Sandy Hook, but was got off in the 
' morning, with the aid of lighter steamers, &c. 
\ Cotton at Liverpool unchanged; sales for three 
) days, 11,000 bales. Flour was being purchased 
) to a fair extent at full prices. Corn dull, best yel- 
s low offered at 27s. 6d. The crop prospects con- 
' tinue flattering. Consols closed at 96 7-8 and 97. 
t English funds remain steady. Railway shares de¬ 
clined. 
■ The London Times has commenced a fierce and 
able onslaught against the immense income of the 
J English Bishops. 
{ At an Orange riot, in Liverpool, on the 14th, 3 
\ persons were killed, and several dangerously 
; wounded. 
A screw steamship company was forming at 
l . Liverpool, for a line between the Mersey and the 
Brazils, touching at Lisbon and Madeira. The 
\ failure of Ralph & Risk, of Liverpool, for £60,- 
000, is announced. 
The great London Exhibition continued to at¬ 
tract crowds of visitors. On the 15th there were 
; 74,000. The movement to retain the Crystal Pal¬ 
ace progresses briskly; and an interesting debate 
( in the House of Lords had taken place on the pre- 
\ senlatioa of a petition from John Paxton, devclop- 
S ing his views. 
It is stated in some of the Irish papers, that a 
company was forming in the British metropolis, 
) and that £60,000 had been subscribed for estab- 
[ Iishing a steam communication between Galway 
l and New York, by means of two steamships of 
) greater size and power than any that have yet been 
( engaged in trans-atlantic navigation. 
From France there is little of interest. The de- 
■ bate on the revision of the Constitution had com- 
s menced, and was expected to last a week. The 
) improvement in commercial affairs throughout 
France had made further progress. 
A despatch from Madrid announces that M. 
/ Bravo Muniilo’s plan for the settlement of the 
{ Spanish debt has been approved, 154 to 52. 
i Our correspondence from Plamburg is to the 
) 12th inst. Several persons who had arrived there 
t from London wero arrested, at the request of the 
i Austrian and Prussian Government, on suspicion 
\ rrf political offences. There was much excitement 
‘i in consequence. The King of Hanover is refus- 
) ing to lend himself to such proceedings. 
Portugal dates are to the 9th. The now minis- 
> try had assumed flu direction of public affairs, but 
\ without any apparent change in policy. Financial 
s embarrassments wore threatening to engulph the 
) kingdom. 
The award of the Presideut of the French Ile- 
• public, t.o whom had been referred the matters of 
; dispute detweon the governments of the United 
\ States and Portugal was understood to be favorable 
| to the American cause- 
Accounts from Copenhagen are to the 11th.— 
The misterial crisis continues, and no authentic 
!' rumors have, transpired with regard to the result. 
Later advices from India and China have been 
received. The news is not important. A riot oc¬ 
curred at Lucknow, iu which 20 lives were lost. 
1 There is less sickness among the troops at Hong 
) Kong. The clipper Oriental, from London, ar- 
rived at Hong Kong, May 11th, 117 days ]»assage. 
Serious disturbances coniine in the neighborhood 
of Canton, the olYorts of the government to check 
\ them notwithstanding 
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ATLANTIC- 
Four Days Later from Europe. 
Miner at. Wealth of Pennsylvania. —From 
authentic statistics of the mineral wealth of Penn¬ 
sylvania, it appears that she possesses 504 iron 
works in the whole State, the capital of which, in 
lands, buildings aud machinery, amounts to twen¬ 
ty and a half millions of dollars, not including in 
the estimate any of the mining capital daily em¬ 
ployed, and that these 504 works furnish employ¬ 
ment to 30,103 men, and 13,502 horses—exclusive 
of coal lands, farms, grist mills and dwellings for 
workmen. The ore is bought of the farmers in 
vicinity, who dig it on their farms and haul it to 
the furnaces in the winter, when out of agricul¬ 
tural occupation. 
The valueof these ore banks and the labor spent 
on them forms another distinct item of value. 45 
counties in the State contain iron works; of the 17 
that have no furnace, 9 contain abundance of ore 
and coal; but have been neglected, owing to the 
want of good roads to a market. Eight counties 
only are unsuited to the manufacture of iron. In 
1847, these works consumed 483,000 tons Anthra¬ 
cite coal, 1,007 600 bushels bituminous, and 1,- 
490,252 cords of wood—the total value of which 
was $5,600,000. Pennsylvania has no nobler title 
than that of the “Iron State.”— Clev. Herald.

Lewis County-*-Its Crops. —There is probably 
no section of the State whose agricultural prospects 
are more flattering than those of our own county 
now present. Wo are firmly of the opinion that 
there are no lands which yield a more certain or 
abundant harvest than those in the valley of the 
Black River. 
There has been a general complaint this season, 
in this county, of the backwardness of the season. 
Crops may be a week or ten days later, but were 
nevey more thrifty and promising of a bountiful 
yield. 
We regret the almost total destruction of apples 
and other fruit in this as well as other sections of 
the State by the frosts last spring. The orchards 
look flourishing but the fruit is not there.— Loio- 
vllle Journal, July 30. 
The First Ocean Steamer. —The first steam¬ 
ship that ever crossed the Atlantic sailed from 
Savannah for Liverpool, on the 26th of May, 1819, 
and made the voyage in 22 days. She was tele¬ 
graphed at Liverpool as “ a ship on fire,” and a 
revenue cutter was despatched to her relief, when 
the officers and crew of the latter were struck with 
astonishment at not being able to overtake a ves¬ 
sel under bare poles. At Liverpool, and afterwards 
at Copenhagen, Stockholm, and St. Petersburg!!, 
whither she went, sho was visited by crowds of 
wondering people; and at the latter place a service 
of plate was presented to her officers. 
<! The steamer Atlantic arrived at Now York, on 
) the 3d inst., about 7 o’clock in the morning. She 
■ sailed from Liverpool about 1 o’clock, on the 23d 
( of July. Sho brings 13 passengers. 
> Liverpool, July 23.—Cotton market extremely 
dull to-day. Yesterday’s rates barely supported. 
Estimated sales amount to only 3,000 bales. Flour 
; has been in limited request and prices are a little 
\ cheaper—say 6d. per barrel. Indian corn in rath- 
) er more demand, so that holders have been able to 
/ realise 20s. 6d. per quarter for prime yellow.— 
\ American, 26s. 6da27s. for mixed. Wheat in fair 
request—American descriptions rather easier to¬ 
day. Provisions remain as far as demand and 
pri'eo are concerned, in much the same state as 
when the Niagara sailed. 
In the London money market the most striking 
feature is inactivity, and the same characterizes 
<■ just now, every branch of trade. Foreign eecu- 
{ rities are dull and heavy. 
State of trade in the manufacturing districts is 
{ not very favorable. 
1 The exchange between this country' and Amer- 
( ica is 92 per cent, in favor of the former, leaving 
a profit of importation of gold from the U. States. 
The attendance on the Exhibition increases.— 
On Monday the enormous sum of £3,349 was re¬ 
alised in shillings, and the number of visitors was 
nearly 67,000. 
Franck. —Nows is received of the final decision 
of the Assembly on the question of the revision 
A very largo majority supports tho revision but 
not the three-fourths of the whole, which the Con¬ 
stitution requires to legalize such revision. Tno 
vote was for revision 14G, against 248. The sub¬ 
ject overpowers all other in Paris. 
Crops in Vermont. —We believe it is the uni¬ 
form testimony of our farmers that the season has 
been an uncommonly productive one thus far, and 
that the harvest promises to be abundant. The 
crop of hay is large, though it is quite likely that 
the frequent rains of the past ton days have injur¬ 
ed considerable quantities, as they certainly have 
interfered with its timely gathering into garners. 
But little harvesting has been done, but the crops 
of grain look remarkably well. Potatoes we are 
told, look well, and indicate a large yield,— Bur¬ 
lington ( Vt.) Free Press, July 28. 
Rise ok Water. —The Chicago Journal, of 
Saturday, says:—Lake Michigan was playing its 
antics again all day yesterday, the water rising 
from two to four feet every half hour or so, and as 
suddenly receding. At dusk, while the Lake was 
as smooth as a mirror, without wind or any appa¬ 
rent cause. the water rose to the height of four feet 
twice within an hour. “ What has caused this 
great commotion” with old Michigan, is a mys¬ 
tery. It is certainly very unaccountable. 
Lowering Cayuga Lake. —Hon. H. C. Sey¬ 
mour, State Engineer, is already adopting meas¬ 
ures for the lowering of Cayuga Lake. We learn 
from the Ithaca Chronicle, that he proceeded last 
week to the scene of operations at the foot of the 
Lake with a party of Engineers, in order to make 
the necessary surveys and determine upon the 
proper work to carry out the provisions and inten¬ 
tions of tho law.— Owego Adv.

Brighton Cattle Market, 
Crops in Wisconsin. —The latest accounts from 
the Southern portion of our State, as to the con¬ 
dition of the wheat crop, are, we regret to say, 
generally unfavorable. The hot weather and fre¬ 
quent rains of the last fortnight have rusted much 
of the winter wheat, and the fly aud blight have 
greatly damaged the spring grain.— Milwaukie 
Sentinel. 
Pork Trade Commencing. —The Louisville 
Courier says, that several contracts for hogs for next 
winter’s packing have already been made in that 
city. One or two contracts were recently made at 
$3,75, net, and another for the delivery of a very 
considerable lot in Dec. next, was made at $4.

The steamship Alabama has arrived with later 
intelligence from California. Another destructive 
fire has occurred at San Francisco which destroy¬ 
ed some teu squares. The loss is estimated at 
$3,000,000. 
The fire was the work of an incendiary who has

ICASLJfSOAD MORSE POWER. 
T U1E above justly celebrated Powers as now made and 
30ld by the subscribers, are offered the public with the 
assurance that they are all they are represented—they hav¬ 
ing been very extensively and thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side by side, with'all the tread powers known, of 
any note in the country, and lioen 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 aljove Horse¬ 
power, says: “ I spent much time at the late State Fair, 
[Sept. 1850,] at Albany, in examining the various Horse- 
Powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery Se 
Go’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all they 
could say, and again in their absence—and the result most 
fully convinced me that yours was the best, and if I want¬ 
ed one, I would give, TWENTY DOLLARS more for 
you-rs 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 I 
have no sort of partiality for your establishment, and as a 
committee-rnan of said Society for years, I have decided 
against you oftener than for you; and if others have a bet¬ 
ter article than you, 1 would decide in their 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, when, 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 beine furnished by us with a superior machine.

T HE inventor after thoroughly testing Ins engine pump 
(for the past two years,)“feels confident that it is not 
equalled by any thing now in market, in the way of rais¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion being rotary, the stream is 
constant, without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants may be used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad, 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, Slc. The 
highest testimonials will be given. 
No. 1 is a house or well pump and domestic Fire En¬ 
gine, and will raise from 20 to 39 gallons per minnte. 
No. 2 will raise 100 gallons at 120 revolutions.

According to tho recent census the num¬ 
ber of colored persons ia this State is 47,814, of 
whom 22,905 are males and 24,949 females ; in 
1840 tho number was 50,000, of whom 24,000 
were males and 26,90S females. The decrease i 
has thus been about equal in the two sexes. 
T HE Subscriber still acts a^ agent for the North Wayne 
_ Scythe Co., in tho sale of these Scythes. Ample ur- 
rengements have lieen made to enable him to supply deal¬ 
ers for wholesale and retail, on the meat favorable terms. 
All Scythes sold by him, will be what they are repre¬ 
sented, as he does not endorse the tricks of the trade prac¬ 
ticed by other manufacturers and agents. Cradle makers 
wilt receive a large share of attention, as the grain Scythes 
made by this Company now confessedly stand unrivalled. 
Orders for Scythes may be forwarded to me by mail, or

WOOL.—Dullness is the leading feature in the market, 
aud no sales of moment have been made; Manufacturers 
have not appeared, borne Western buyers are desirous of 
effectii x sales, but ’heir figures arc from 3 to 4c higher 
than dealers here demand. But this we understand is 
not an uncommon occurrence. Lots in the country are 
pretty generally held much higher than in this market. 
We give below the market rates to-.iay for the several

This establishment is one of the most extensive in West- 
crnNew York. It now occupiesthree large and commodi¬ 
ous rooms, in the new and beautiful block lately erected by 
Gen. Gould, entrance 14 State street. 
The Operating Rooms are arranged in the most scientific 
manner, and are attended in person by the proprietor; be¬ 
ing separate and distinct from the Reception and Working 
Rooms, they are quiet, clean, and free from the disagreeable 
effects of chemicals. 
The copying apparatus is under the supervision of an 
artist of well known skill in that very difficult branch of 
this business, and the light and instruments have been ex¬ 
pressly arranged for procuring exact copies of Daguerreo¬ 
types,paintings, statuary, Sec. It is the aim of the propri¬ 
etor to render in every part of his business that attention 
which the public are entitled to from the patronage he has 
received. E. T. WHITNEY.
