ARRIVAL OF THE WASHINGTON. 
Four Days Later from Europe. 
? The Washington from Southampton arrived at 
( New York the :28th, having left on the 14th. She 
$ had 150 passengers and 150 tons of freight. 
) It was Kossuth’s full intention to embark on the 
( Washington, but he was delayed by the necessity 
\ of his providing means of subsistence for a number 
) of his exiled comrades. There is no doubt, how- 
£ ever, of his sailing from Southampton on the 20th 
i inst. He will be accompanied by his wife and the 
( remainder of his officers and Secretaries, in all 13.

ARRIVAL OF THE ALABAMA. 
F' ur Weeks Later. 
Anniversary of tiik New York Bible So- 
criiTV. —The twenty-eighth anniversary of this 
Society, was held on Monday evening, in the 
Tabernacle, Thomas Bond, Esq., in the Chair. 
The receipts for the year were $>42,126, and 
the expenditures the same. The total circula¬ 
tion of the Scriptures, through all channels, was 
shown to have been 131,824 copies, comprising 
37,538 Bibles, and 91,283 Testaments. The en¬ 
tire number of volumes issued exceeds that of 
the preceding year by 26,696 volumes, the ex¬ 
cess of sales being 20.017, and the excess of do¬ 
nations 9,697. The entire cost of the gratuitous 
distributions has been $>6,327—an increase of 
about $1,300 over that of the previous year. 
The Bible has been supplied to the various 
asylums, hospitals and prisons; to seamen in the 
national and mercantile marine; to recruits in 
the military service, &c.; and 11,944 have been 
distributed to emigrants upon their arrival here. 
There have been 8,030 volumes distributed in 
families in this city, and the Marine Committee 
lmve distributed 12,796. Eighty-five American 
vessels have been visited, and among foreign ves¬ 
sels, 4 945 volumes have been distributed. 
The society is at present free from debt, hav¬ 
ing a surplus of $285 in its treasury. 
Literary Stealings.— Richard Hildreth, au¬ 
thor ot a history of the United States now publish¬ 
ing, accuses Judge Ualiburion of stealing whole 
pages of bis history, and quietly putting them in 
bis (the Judge’s) new work, “ Rule and Misrule 
of the British in America,” without giving any 
credit therefor. Hildreth says if he had been dead 
fifty years he should not object, but as his work 
has not been out two years, some future book worm 
might accuse him of stealing from the Judge.— 
Sensible remark. The Judge can write well, and 
ought to be ashamed of himself. 
The Fire Annihilator. —The N. York Herald 
understands that the chemical composition requir¬ 
ed to charge the fire anuihiktor cannot be made 
in Now York; that all experiments to that end have 
faded; and that before a public exhibition of the an- 
nihilting capacities of the machinocan beexpccted, 
some of the vessels, already loaded, will have to be 
procured from England. The Herald thinks it 
may. therefore, bo a month yet before the presenl 
lire department will resign. Meantime, it learns 
that Mr. Paiuo is still working at his gas.— Buff.

MAIL RECEIPTS 
On Subscription to Moore’s Rural New-Yorker, 
Since October 1, 1851. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, , 
Rochester, Dec. 3, 1801. ; 
fUif" All Moneys received by mail for the Rural New- 
Yorker will he acknowledged in these columns, under the 
above heading. 
fggT Where one individual remits subscriptions for sev¬ 
eral persons at once, we acknowledge here to the person 
sending, but credit as desired. 
The U- S. Mail Steamship Alabama arrived at 
New Orleans Nov- 29, with lifteeri days later news 
from California, bringing dates from San Francisco 
to November 1. 
The passengers report that the shipments ofgold 
by the steamer of the 1st inst. would reach nearly 
three million of dollars, a portion of which would 
go forward by the Oregon. 
The accounts from the mines are of the most 
cheering character, and the yield of the precious 
inetal shows no abatement but rather an increase. 
On the Middle Fork the miners have done re¬ 
markably well. One company had secured, in the 
space of a week, $20,000. 
New discoveries have been made at Cold Spring 
and also at the Volcano diggings. 
There is no doubt the coining season will be the 
most profitable ever known in the annals of Cali¬ 
fornia. 
The papers continue to teem with accounts of 
murders, robberies, duels, &c., though in most 
cases the offenders are arrested and summarily 
punished. 
The damage to the Steamer Republic, which ran 
on the rocks while on her yoyage to Panama, prov¬ 
ed to be less than was anticipated. 
Indian disturbances were of less frequent occur¬ 
rence. 
The rainy season had commenced- 
In the markets during the last fortnight, a fair 
amount of business has been transacted, and real 
estate continues in demand at advanced rates. 
State Stocks arc firmer with an active demand. 
Gold oust commands $17 per ounce for clean par¬ 
cels. 
Building materials are in request. Bricks are 
active. Lumber steady and the demand good.— 
Cement and Lime scarce and wanted, at full prices. 
Flour brisk. Molasses plenty and dull. Pork 
unchanged. Hams active. 
The Cherokee and Prometheus have since arrived 
the latter, Dec, 1, with 500 passengers, and $119,- 
000 in gold dust on freight, and $500,000 in the 
hands of passengers. 
Tiie increase of agricultural population, and the 
consequent demand for stock, has produced quite a 
brisk trade to Oregon, and the Islands, for bogs, 
poultry, &c., and a considerable amount has been 
imported. 
The increase of female population is quite per¬ 
ceptible, and many of those who goto the Atlantic 
States this fall, will return and make their homes 
on the. Pacific. 
This year’s crops of vegetables, barley and oats, 
.have more than realized the expectations of those 
engaged in their cultivation, and prove the capcity 
of the soil. Even the lands of the interior valleys, 
for any products, are equal or superior to the more 
favored portions of the Atlantic ritates. 
The rainy season is still in the future, and mi¬ 
ning operations are very much circumscribed for 
want of water. This complaint is more especially 
on the southern and middle mine . 
According to the most reliable infornjation there 
are eleven quartz machines in operation in the 
southern district, and about 33 in the northern dis¬ 
tricts: eight in operation, and some 26 in process of 
erection, besides many odiers in contemplation.— 
These include every variety of model, and are in 
most cases, propelled by steam. But of their 
operations sullieient is not known to venture a 
statement 
The erysipelas is prevailing in the vicinity of Sono¬ 
ra, and other places in the northern mines, and 5 or 
6 deaths have occurred from it within 8 or 10 days. 
At San Francisco a convention was in session— 
the object of which is to adopt measures for a di¬ 
vision of the State in the Northern and Southern 
California. The principal part of the Southern 
portion of the State was represented. Resolutions 
recommending a division of the State were adopted, 
not however without considerable opposition aris¬ 
ing chiefly from n difference in the manner in which 
it should be done.

ABB A NY, Nov. 29.—Only a few canal boats arrived 
from the West yesterday. Much difficulty was experienc¬ 
ed in locking boats four miles west of Schenectady on ac¬ 
count of slush and snow collecting in and about the lock. 
At the mouth of Schoharie Creek, owing to the low stage 
of water, boats grounded in the canal. At the former 
place, the obstructions have been removed, and the boats 
were this morning passing freely through the lock. 
Flour, &c.—The market is unchanged, and we notice a 
fair local and eastern demand for the medium and better 
brands of Western and State Flour. There is a good de¬ 
gree of firmness, and sales to the extent of 12o<) hblshave 
been made at 3 87@■‘51 for Michigan and Indiana, and £la 
4 12 for pure Genesee. Buckwheat and Cornmeal are 
without change. 
Grain—Wheat is firm with a fair local and Eastern de¬ 
mand. Sales 2,250 bu prime Genesee, to go East, at 100c. 
Corn is steady and in small supply. Sales 1,100 bu of 
Western mixed, in lots, at 5 hc. Barley is less freely offer¬ 
ed, and the market exhibits more firmness, with a fair de¬ 
mand for two-rowed. The only transaction reported was 
a sale of 900 bu of ordinary two-rowed at 76>£e Rye 
and Oats are quiet. Barley Malt is selling in small lots at 
100c. 
Provisions—Pork is steady and new Mess is selling 
slowly at §15. A further sale of 125 bbls Beef Hams was 
made at 13 50. Dressed Hogs meet witli a steady sale, and 
for extra lots improved prices are obtained. Sale 100 at

Jury Trial in China.— The Government of 
Iiong- Kong have passed an ordinance for the reg¬ 
ulation of trial by jury in that colony. The or¬ 
dinance copies the English model, with two ex¬ 
ceptions—one, the adoption of a jury of six instead 
of twelve; the other, the substitution of the rule of 
n verdict by the majority, instead of one by a 
unanimous jury. 
Death of an Elephant.— The monster ele¬ 
phant “ Columbus,” the largest in America, and

A Good Yield.— Mr. Owen Coiling, of Water- 
town, Wis., harvested the past season 54 bushels

titled to the banner.— Chronicle.

although the quality on hand ia very good. The enormous 
amount ofPoultry that has come in over the various roads 
lias tended to lessen the demand, and both buyers and sel¬ 
lers hold back for to-morrow, which promises to be a dul 
day, if not even both wet and stormy.

LV to inform his friends and the public in general, thal 
bis catalogue for 1851 is now ready, and may be had on 
application to his agent, Mr. E. Bossange, 138 Pearl streel, 
New York. He offers for sale a Urge collection of the 
finest forest, fruit, and ornamental trees of all kinds, 
shrubs, &c., &c. The superior quality of his trees is al¬ 
ready known in the United States, and the experience lie 
has in packing up trees to be sent abroad, gives him a 
noted advantage over ail other nurserymen. Orders should 
lie sent < nrly, as, alihough his nursery is the largest in 
France, the number of some new kinds of trees are limil- 
ed, and some of the last orders sent last year could not lie 
executed. The terms, prices, charges, and all desired in¬ 
formation, will be found in his catalogue. The trees will 
be shipped to the care of his agent in New York, who will 
attend to the receiving and forwarding. For further par¬ 
ticulars, and for the catalogue, apply to

FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD JIOK.SE POWER. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers as now made and 
sold by the subscribers, are offered Uie 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 been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee 
on Horse-Powers, in a communication vvritten several 
months after the awarding of premium to the above Horse¬ 
power, says: “ I spent much time at the late State Fair, 
[Sept. 1800,] 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, 1 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 estoblishiuent, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may.” 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the 
loregoing, when, together wilh 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.

potato is of almost unparalleled productiveness; of beau 
liful shape, its proportion much like tiie long pink-eye, 
being a little more flattened. 
Tins potato was obtained by the subscriber, from the 
seed ot 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 ol 
a few bushels from a friend, ordered 1,000 bushels, bul 
they could not be obtained. 
The quality and habits of the White Mercer, aie, very 
white outside aud 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 anv other potato known in these parts.
