ARRIVAL OF THE ILLINOIS. 
The steamship Illinois, from Chagres, arrived 
Oct. 18. She brings the California mails of Sep¬ 
tember 13th. * 
A disease has broken out among the Chinese 
population of California, resembling the cholera. 
The dysentery is also very prevalent. 
The latest election returns show a majority of 
422 for the whig candidate for Governor. 
A division of the State still attracts considerable 
discussion. The members elected to the Legisla¬ 
ture from the southern counties are pledged to aid 
the movement. 
The Indians in the south are quiet, while those 
in the north are becoming troublesome. 
No executions have taken place since the sail¬ 
ing of the last steamer. 
The gold diggings continue to yield richly.— 
The auriferous quartz veins are being worked with 
great success. In the dry diggings, the miners 
are only waiting for rain to take out large amounts 
of gold. 
From reliable returns the whigs have elected two 
State Senators and the democrats 11. One whig 
and 5 democratic Senators hold over. 
The Senate consists of 23 members, In the 
Assembly, 14 whigs, 23 democrats and 2 indepen¬ 
dents are elected. The counties to be heard from 
will undoubtedly give the democrats a clear major¬ 
ity. That parly will have both branches and elect 
a U. S. Senator. 
Produce is being brought to market in abun¬ 
dance and of superior quality. 
Several vessels have left and were leaving for 
Sydney. 
The great specie train of the Pacific company 
was robbed seven miles from Panama. After rid¬ 
ing several miles, Capt. Garrison and his friends 
came up with the train, and founu it in the wildest 
confusion. Three of the guards had been shot by 
the robbers, and were lying in the road, two in a 
dying condition. The robbers had made off with 
one box of gold, but delayed by its weight, they 
were overtaken, two captured and the rest tied.— 
Five others, it is thought, will be caught. 
The robbers were told that the train contained 
$2,000,000. 
Dangerous Resemblance. —Berque, the man 
who was recently in the hands of a vigilant com¬ 
mittee in California, and came near being hung, 
owing to an unfortunate resemblance to Stewart, 
the convict, has been discharged fiom custody.— 
This man had several naarow escapes. First, he 
escaped hanging by the mob at San Francisco, 
was subsequently sentenced to death by a legally 
constituted court, and again was sentenced to 14 
years imprisonment. It seems that he was guilt¬ 
less of every charge brought against him, and 
owed all his misfortunes to the close resemblance 
in personal appearance to the convict above named. 
Several witnesses swore most positively to the 
identity of Berque, but subsequently, upon being 
confronted with Stewart, the real culprit, acknowl¬ 
edged their error. 
Periodical Issues ok the Tract Press. —Be¬ 
sides the daily publication of nearly four thousand 
books and thirty thousand smaller publications, the 
American Tract Society has an unprecedented cir¬ 
culation for its various periodicals. The Illustrated 
Family Christian Almanac has an annual sale of 
more than 300,000 copies. The American .Messen¬ 
ger, a monthly newspaper, is sent to about 200,000 
families. 'File Americaniseher Botschafter, or 
American Messenger in German, has a circulation 
exceeding 20,000 copies. And in the Messenger 
for this month we see the prospectus and specimen 
pages of a periodical for children, handsomely illus¬ 
trate.1, to be called “ The Child’s Paper.” 
Sealing Wax.— Do not use wax in sealing let¬ 
ters that are to be sent to California. In passing 
through the tropics the wax becomes melted, the 
letters are stuck together, and are frequently torn 
and mutilated in their separation. 
We think, in all cases, ’tis wiser and safer, 
To prepay your postage and seal witli a wafer. 
Death of James Buchanan.— We have to re¬ 
cord to-day, the death of Jamos Buchanan, Esq., 
for many years the British consul in this city. He 
was on a visit to his daughter in the vicinity of 
Montreal, where lie died suddenly, on Saturday 
ast, aged 81 years.— N. Y. Express.

[From lion. J. C. Spencer \ 
Albany, June 18th, 1851. 
Messrs. G. & C. Merriam, 
Gentlemen-—After the testimony to the extraordinary 
merit of Dr. Webster’s Dictionary of the English language 
which has been borne by the illustrious Statesmen, 
Scholars and Writers of this country, and by Lite 
most competent judges in England, it seems almost pre¬ 
sumptuous for me to express an opinion on the subject, 
but as your polite note of the 10th inst., seems to invite 
such an expression, I comply. 
More than twenty years ago I procured the Quarto edi¬ 
tion and have used it constantly ever since. My pursuits 
in life have rendered it necessary to consult it frequently, 
as well as other works of a kindred or similar character, 
particularly Dr. Johnson’s Quarto, of the latest and best 
edition, Richardson’s Dictionary, Crabbe’s Synonyms, 
and Horne Tooke’s Diversions of Purley. In profession¬ 
al, political, and literary discussions, the turning point of 
the argument has often been the exact meaning of words, 
as ascertained not only from their use, but from tlipir de¬ 
rivation: while in many cases, perhaps in the majority of 
them, the works referred too have failed-to give the desired 
information, that of Dr. Websier lias always furnished 
precisely what has been desired, and 1 have long felt indi¬ 
vidually indebted to the illustrious author,for the labor and 
time he has saved me by his unwearied patience, profound 
learning, and unsurpassed industry. 
It is unquestionably the very best Dictionary of our lan¬ 
guage extant. It is a model of copiousness and precision, 
and its great accuracy in the definition and derivation of 
words, gives it an authority that no other work 011 the sub¬ 
ject possesses. It is constantly cited and rel ed on in our 
Gourts ot Justice, in our Legislative bodies, and public 
discussions, as entirely conclusive. 
It is scarcely necessary to add that such a work is a 
treasure which cannot be dispensed with by any one who 
would thoroughly understand and correctly use his mother 
toi.guc. It should be in every school in our land, that our 
youth may not be obliged, as I have been, to unlearn the 
false pronunciation, the unsound philology, and the erro¬ 
neous definitions, which were taught me in my childhood. 
The elegance and correctness of your edition—so cheap 
for a book of its size—one third of what I gave for the first 
edition—are alike creditable to your taste and enterprise, 
and worthy of the great work which will ever stand forth 
a monument of the science and literature of our country.

Potatoes,— White Mercer. 
I AA BARRELS of the White Mcrcer(Seedling) Po- 
1 UU tato now offered for sale! This remarkable white 
potato is of almost unparalleled productiveness; of beau¬ 
tiful shape, its proportion much like the long pink-eye, 
being a little more flattened. 
This potato was obtained by the subscriber, from the 
seed of the common Mercer 8 or 9 years since, it receiv¬ 
ed the first premium from the N. Y. State Ag. Society, and 
a diploma was awarded for the same by the Monroe Coun¬ 
ty Ag. Society. 
Since that period the White Mercer has attained in Iron¬ 
dequoit, increased popularity with farmers and gardeners, 
to so great an extent, that its only limits of propagation is 
the want of seed. I am credibly informed that one ot the 
largest Hotels in the city of New York, on the reception of 
a few bushels from a friend, ordered 1,000 bushels, but 
they could not be obtained. 
The quality and habits of the White Mercer, aie, very 
white outside and in; mealy and of good flavor; longer 
keeping than any other potato that I am acquainted with, 
it is a late grower.requiring early planting; and is less sub¬ 
ject to rot than any other potato known in these parts.

THE FRUIT GARDEN, 
S IECOND EDITION.—A Treatise intended to Illustrate 
> and explain the Physiology of Fruit Trees, the Theorj 
and Practice of all operations connected with the propa 
gating, transplanting, pruning and training of orchard and 
garden trees, as standards, dwarfs, pyramids, espaliers, 
&c., laying out and arranging different kinds of orchards 
and gardens, the selection of suitable varieties for different 
purposes and localities, gathering and preserving fruits, 
treatment of disease, destruction of insects. Descriptions 
and uses of implements, &c., illustrated with upward ol 
one hundred and fifty figures, representing different parts 
of trees, all practical operations, forms of trees, designs 
for plantations, implements, &c. By P Barry, of the Mt. 
Hope Nurseries, Rochester, New York. 1vol. 12mo. 
“ It*s one of the most thorough works of the kind wc 
have ever seen, dealing in particular as well as generali¬ 
ties, and imparting many valuable bints relative to soil, 
manures, [mining and transplanting.”—[Boston Gaz. 
“ A mass of useful information is collected, which will 
give the work a value even to those who possess the best 
works on the cultivation of fruit yet published.”—[Eve 
ning Post. 
“ His work is one of the completest, and, ns we have 
every reason for believing, most accurate to lx: obtained on 
the subject.”—[N. Y. Evangelist. 
“ A concise Manual of the kind here presented has long 
been wanted, and we will venture to say, that should this 
volume be carefully studied and acted upon by our indus¬ 
trious farmers, the quantity of fruit in the State would be 
doubled in five years, and the quality, too, greatly improv¬ 
ed. Here may be found advice suited to all emergencies, 
and the gentleman farmer may find direction for the sim¬ 
plest matters, as well as those which trouble older beads. 
The book, we think, will be found valuable.”—[Newark 
Daily Advertiser. 
“ It is full of directions as to the management of trees, 
nnd buds,and fruits.and is a valuable and pleasant book.” 
—[Albany Evening Journal. 
“ The work is prepared with great judgment, and found¬ 
ed on the practical experience of the Author—is of far 
greater value to the cultivator than most of 1 be popular 
compilations on the subject.[N. Y. Tribune. 
“ This book supplies a place in fruit culture, and that is 
saying a great deal, while we have the popular works of 
Downing, Thomas, and Coie. Mr. Barry lias then a field 
to himself which lie occupies with decided skill and abil¬ 
ity.”—[Prairie Farmer.

DAGUERREOTYPES.

To seeoursel’s as ithers see us. 
S O rote the eminent poet, Robert Burns, and an oppor¬ 
tunity is now otl’ered to carry out the I’oet’s suggestion, 
Qie subscriber having taken rooms in the ( ould Building, 
No. 9, end of 2d floor, where he intends to carry on the 
daguerrian business, in its numerous branches. Having 
received instructions of the celebrated Meads, of Albany, 
together with six years constant practice in the business, 
lie flatters himself that he can take pictures, which for 
strength, beauty and durability cannot be surpassed, lie 
also lias the latest improved instruments which enables 
him to take a perfect likeness of a child in two seconds. 
Pictures put in good morocco cases for $1, and satisfac¬ 
tion warranted. 
Reader, perhaps you cannot do a betterthingnow while 
your mind is upon the subject, then go with your family 
and secure the shadow ere the substance fade. How many 
of you have lost a father, a mother, or a little prattling 
child, without a shade of resemblance to recognize their 
features. After the separation some little toy or a trifling 
article of apparel is often kept and cherished lor years ns a 
token of remembrance, how much more valuable would 
be a well executed daguerreotype of the loved and lost.— 
Are you a parent? What would you not give for a perfect 
likeness of yourself, taken when a child? It would show 
the effects of time and call up many happy remembrances. 
This satisfaction you can now afford to your children, and 
should they be snatched from your embrace by the cold 
hand of death, your possession of their daguerreotype like¬ 
nesses, if taken by a good artist, will afford sweet conso¬ 
lation; and if the present opportunity is not improved you 
may at some future period have reason to ibel grateful’for 
these gentle hints from I. N. BLOODGOOD, Daguerrean, 
who can always be found at his rooms, where the citizens 
of this city and surrounding country are respectfully in¬ 
vited to call. 88-tf

FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE POWER. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and 
sold by the subscribers, are ofiered 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 ihe 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¬ 
powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery & 
Co’s, firsi with tiie 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 ofteuer 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 being furnished by us with a suiicrior machine.

lyillE inventor after thoroughly testing his engine pump 
JL (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 pnr|X)ses for 
which pumps or hydrants may be used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries. Railroad, 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, &.c. The
