Ten Days Later from Europe. 
The Washington arrived at New York, Sept. 23. 
Cotton was firm, and in some cases l-8d higher. 
Sales (or three days about 23,000 bales, a greater 
portion to the trade. 
Prime qualities of Flour were firm at 18a20s. 
Indian Corn lias declined 6d, the price being 26a 
27s per qr. 
Consols closed at 9fi$n96g being an advnnce. 
At Manchester on the 9th, business doing was 
moderate, but generally speaking prices were firm. 
The London Money Market was steady. 
Paris Bourse, Sept. 9.—5s, 92 40; 3s, 56 40. 
Advices received from the Cape of Good Hope 
to Aug 1st, states that the accounts from the fron¬ 
tiers are far from satisfactory. 
Sir Harry Smith, during the month, has made 
no movement of consequence, while the Cadres I 
and Hottentots were spreading themselves thro’ ! 
the eastern provinces and prostrating settlements 
previously considered secure from danger. ( 
Just previous to the departure of the Steamer, 
news readied the Cape, of an attack upon some 
English between Fort Beaufort and Grahamstown, 1 
where five men were kihed by the rebels and Hot¬ 
tentots . : 
The patriots were sent out immediately, but with 
what success is not known. 
While Sir H'trvey Smith was checking the ene¬ 
my on the frontier, the Caffres and Hottentots had 
been invading the interior. 
Kossuth and his companions were expected at 
Southampton on the 5th of October. They would 
meet a hearty welcome. 
The news of the Cuban invasion had excited a 
profound sensation among commercial and political 
circles. 
The Oriental Steam Co. have ordered a Liver¬ 
pool house to build the largest steamer in the world. 
She is to be 325 feet long, and propollcd by four 
engines of 1200 horse-power. 
A letter from Capt. Parker, of the True Love 
whale ship, giving an account of Capt. Austin’s 
expedition up to Sept. 1850, had been received at 
Liverpool. 
The statements fully confirm reports received by 
the Prince Albert, of Sir John Frnnklin’s expedition 
of having passed the winter of ’45 and ’46 in the 
neighborhood of Cape Riley. 
A letter had also been received from Mr. Kane of 
the U. S. expedition.

ARRIVAL OF THE ILLINOIS. 
Two Weeks Later Intelligence, 
The U. S. Mail Steamship Illinois arrived at N. 
York on the20th inst., bringing California mails of 
the 15th ult. 
The Isthmus continues healthy. 
A fire occurred in Sacramento, entailing a loss of 
$30,000. 
A project is on foot for the construction of a 
Magnetic Telegraph in San Francisco. The esti¬ 
mated costs of which is put down at $57,000. 
The steamer Gold Hunter has been sold for 
$31,000. 
The State elections excite but little interest in 
Southern California. The Whigs seem confident 
of carrying the State. 
A convention of the El Dorado minors is talked of 
to adopt laws for the government of the mines. A 
company of gentlemen with a capital of two hun¬ 
dred thousand dollars have organized themselves 
for the purpose of damming the South Yuba with a 
permanent structure, and to convey the water of 
the river to the mining regions of the county. 
The agricultural prospects of the State continue 
promising. 
The mining news from Sacramento is very 
cheering. The Los Angelos Star of Aug. 2, re¬ 
commends a convention of the Southern people for 
the purpose of severing the lower from the upper 
portions of the State on the grounds of the inequal¬ 
ity of the laws governing the two sections, and the 
unjust partiality evinced by the last Legislature in 
their various enactments. 
The latest intelligence from the Indian country 
is of a very favorable character. Business gener¬ 
ally is undoubtedly reviving, but the improvement 
is so gradual as to be hardly perceptible. 
The bankers at present are allowing $16,50 for 
first quality of gold; but an advance of 25 cents 
will probably be obtained before the sailing of the 
steamer. There is some activity in the stock 
market. 
Latest from Salt Lake. 
The Kanesvillo Guardian, (Iowa,) 23d Au¬ 
gust, says, that on Tuesday, the 19t,h. seven men 
from California, Oregon, and other regions West, 
visited the office. They left Salt Lake on the 
15th July, and made the journey in 34 days. It 
proceeds: 
The gentlemen from California say that they 
were nine days in the Sierra Nevada mountains 
in snow, during- which they fed their horses on 
one pint of flour per day to each horse. 
Mr. Langley says that the inhabitants of the 
Valley lost by Indian depredations, cattle, horses 
and irtules, to the amount of $12,000. These in¬ 
fest Little Salt Lake, also Brown’s settlement.— 
At both places it is stated that they stole consider¬ 
able, to the serious inconvenience and loss of 
some of the residents of those places. 
They reported the crops in the Valley, more es¬ 
pecially wheat, to be superabundant and heavy 
this season. The health of the citizens there is 
very good, while peace, union and harmony, are 
the prominent features of their social circles. 
Santa Fe Items. —The St. Louis Republican 
has letters from Santa Fe to August 22d. The 
election for Delegates to Congress took place on 
the first of this month. Major Wightman and 
Captain Reynolds were the candidates. Tho Leg¬ 
islature meets on the first Monday in December. 
The Territorial Treasury is empty. The season 
has been dry, and corn brings $5 per bushel, and 
flour $20 per barrel. Goods have been imported 
until there is an abundant supply.— Democrat. 
The Chapi.in Case.— The witnesses in this 
case have been discharged, the accused notap¬ 
pearing to answer to the charge of assault and 
battery with intent to kill those who intercepted 
him while he was conveying tho slaves of Messrs. 
Stephens and Toombs from the District of Co¬ 
lumbia, more than a year ago. The bail has not 
only been forfeited, but we learn the money— 
nineteen thousand dollars—paid into the treasury 
of tho State of Maryland.— Wash. Rep. 
The Boston Jubilee. —The railroad jubilee at 
Boston must have been a brilliant allair. Speech¬ 
es, toasts, excursions, dinners, levees, a military 
ball, <fcc., served to keep up the excitement and 
amusement for three days. The pressure of mat¬ 
ter pertaining to the fair precludes the possibility 
of givingany lengthy account of the doings of the 
Boston people and their guests.— Democrat.

ber of Volume VII., of this widely circulated and valuable 
journal will issue on the 2flth of September. The new 
volume will commence with new type, printed upon pa¬ 
per of a heavier texture than that used in the preceding 
volumes. It is the intention of the publisners >o illustrate 
it more fully, by introducing representations of prominent 
events connected with the advancement of science; besides 
furnishing the usual amount of engravingsof new inven¬ 
tions. It is published weekly in form for binding and af¬

general reader which is not treated in the most able man¬

Ida’s New Grain Drill. 
F OR the past two years, Mr. Ide, of East Shelby, Or¬ 
leans Co., N. Y., has turned his attention exclusively 
to Drills; and he hast succeeded in inventing one that can¬ 
not fail to give general satisfaction. 
The subscriber, knowing the great loss resulting to far¬ 
mers from imperfect drilling, takes pleasure in introducing 
Ide’s New Drill, which he believes to he as much supe¬ 
rior to all others, in its practical operation, as Ide’s Culti¬ 
vator surpasses every other Cultivator. The Drill will 
distribute Wheat, Barley and Rye in any desired quantity. 
The feeding or distributing principle is considered perfect, 
and the subscriber is confident that every intelligent far¬ 
mer will say so, who examines it. It will also plant 
Corn in hills at any required distance apart. The teeth 
are seven and a half inches apart, and placed in two rows 
like the Cultivator. By this arrangement they are not lia¬ 
ble to clog. This Drill has been thoroughly tested; 
several were put in operation last fall. As the crop de¬ 
pends very much on the Drill, the subscriber hopes tiiat 
every farmer who wants the best drill, will examine 
Ide’s before purchasing. The Drill is warranted to be 
as good as recommended, and perfectly reliable. 
Phelps, March, 1851. 
Mr. S. R. Tracy: Dear Sir—The Drill I purchased ol 
you works to my entire satisfaction. It far exceeds my 
most sanguine expectations. Lastfall I put in with it two 
hundred and eight acres of wheat in twenty days. Never 
was there a drill that did belter work. In my opinion the 
Feeding Principle is perfect. The arrangement of teetli 
in two rows I found to he a very great advantage. I drill¬ 
ed in many places with ease, where it would have been 
almost impossible if the teeth had been in one row qnly. I 
am acquainted with and have seen five ditferent drills in 
operation, and can say with truth and candor, that Ide’s 
New Drill is the only one that comes fully up to my ideas 
of what a Drill should be. Yours, Sec., 
PETER P. KOCHER. 
Acadia, March, 1811. 
This may certify, that I have one of Ide’s New Grain 
Drills, and am perfectly satisfied with its work. I have 
several fields of wheat put in witli this drill, and am con¬ 
fident that every farmer who examines the drilling will say 
it works as perfectly as any Drill can. Having had a poor 
Drill, which I have thrown aside, 1 can the better appre¬ 
ciate a good one. Having tested Ide’s Drill, I can recom¬ 
mend it to others as a perfectly safe and reliable Drill. 
JACOB P. LUSK. 
Ide’s Patent Cultivator and Drill, are manufac¬ 
tured by Levi Wells, Butfalo slreei, near the Bull’s Head, 
Rochester, where Farmers are invited to call aud examine 
for themselves. Machines kept in order one year free of 
charge. The subscriber would return his thanks lo the 
public for their patronage during the past year, and re¬ 
spectfully solicit further orders. 
Farmers wishing Cultivators or Drills during the ensu¬ 
ing year, arc requested to send their orders as soon as con¬ 
venient. LEVI WELLS.

Rochester Gallery of Daguerreotypes 
C ONTAINS portraits of distinguished Americans, Offi¬ 
cers of the Army, and many of our well known Citi¬

This establishment is one of the most extensive in West¬

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

T HE inventor after thoroughly testing his 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¬

constant, withoutthe 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, Sec. The 
highest testimonials will be given.

FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD 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 ail 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 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,J at Albany, in examining the various Horse- 
Powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery & 
Co’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 
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 I 
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 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 heina furnished by us with a superior machine.
