Arrival of the Canada. 
Tlic steamship Canada arrived at Boston on the 
26 th ult.. with news to the 11th from Europe.. 
The news by this arrival is of no general in¬ 
terest. 
The Cotton market has experienced a decline. 
The London papers report that the Russians 
have met with a most disastrous defeat from the 
Circassians. 
The Austrian Government were making prep 
arations to check the progress of Louis Napoleon. 
The French Government was adopting meas¬ 
ures for the subjugation of Piedmont. 
The Morning Post says the French Minister in 
Brussels signed on Thursday last with the Belgian 
Minister for Foreign Affairs, a convention, which 
puts again in force the Treaty of Commerce of 
1845, until a new treaty may be concluded be¬ 
tween tbe two countries. 
London Markets. —In the Colonial and Foreign 
produce markets business has been dull this week, 
but tea has advanced Id to 1 per lb. Wheat is 
2s per q;„ and flour ls@2s per bbl., clearer. Cot¬ 
ton is at LjYi decline. Iron, Lead and Tin are 
again higher. 
Liverpool Grain Market. —The corn market 
was very animated in the early part of the week, 
at a further advance of 2d per bushel on wheat, 
and Is on flour, but speculation having ceased for 
the time the following quotations are given, but 
are barely maintained : White wheat /s 2d@8s, 
and red 6s 7d@9s 4d per 70 lbs, Western canal 
flour 27s@29s 3d ; Philadelphia, Baltimore and 
01.io 20s Gd ; Canadian 29s Gd@29s 8 ; sour, 2 Is 
6d@2Gs. White Indian coin 3Gs, mxied 34s@34s 
Gd per quarter. * 
Periodical Storms. —A correspondent of the 
Newark Advertiser, calls attention to the fact that 
we have had a succession of rainy Fridays, and 
mentions some other instances in which storms 
occurred at similar intervals of seven days each. 
We can say a word on this point. Some years 
since a society ot' students in Harvard College 
made a large collection of meteorological tables 
from all parts of the country, extending over a 
considerable length of time. An extensive exam¬ 
ination of these tables showed that this principle, 
or coincidence, prevailed to an unexpected extent 
in the return of stormy days. In some cases for 
ten, twelve, or even more weeks, the same day 
would be entered rainy or stormy; then would 
come some long storm or long-continued preva¬ 
lence of fine weather, and some other day of the 
week would take the rain. So far as we know, 
no regular report of the Society referred to was 
ever published.—A' Y. Tribune. 
The Caloric Smr.—Again we are enabled to 
state for the gratification of the public, that the 
machinery of the caloric ship Ericsson has beeu 
in motion. It was worked yesterday during ten 
consecutive hours—making over six revolutions 
per minute. The furnaces were intentionally 
worked upon a checked shaft. Only 420 pounds 
of coal was put into them during each hour, and 
upon this trifling quantity of fuel the fires con¬ 
tinued to augment constantly during the day.— 
We understand that the machinery will be work¬ 
ed for several days to come, and that the trial trip 
will not be made until the engines are in complete 
working order.— Cour. & Enq., Dec. 21. 
Stock in Vermont. — The s’a.ighter of cattle 
aud sheep in Vermont, this Fall, has been great. 
The short supply of winter feed raised a panic 
among the farmers, and they have sold a large 
part of their stock. Very many estimate that 
one-half the sheep have beeu sent to the butcher. 
Certainly not less than one-third have been 
slaughtered. The slaughter of fat cattle has also 
beeu veiy great But the drouth of summer has 
been compensated by the mild weather of No¬ 
vember and December, aud there is now a good 
demand for cows. The price of hay has fallen 
one-third, and there is little fear of an intolerable 
winter.— St. Albans Messenger, Dee. 23. 
A Minnesota Nigiit. —One is not filled with a 
perfect sense of the charms of our climate until 
he witnesses one of our moonlight nights. In 
winter they are nearly as bright as the day. The 
hills round about the meridian throw a strong re¬ 
flection of the moon’s light in upon our towD, 
showing every feature, rendered more charming in 
the softness of the light. The trees of the for¬ 
ests, bespangled with frost, set off tbe scene like 
a fairy land. The air is silent as death. The 
only sound that breaks the silence is that of an 
occasional owl, perched in the woods of tbe Sioux 
side.— St. Paul Pioneer, Dee. 2. 
Large Cattle. —A drove of about forty head 
of cattle, fattened on the farm of Mr. Jesse Cun¬ 
ningham, in Bourdon county, Kentucky, were 
driven through the city yesterday, aud to New 
York, by the Little Miami Railroad. They were 
the largest beeves we have yet seen, averaging 
over two thousand pounds. One of them, (the 
bullock that took the premium at the Lexington 
Agricultural Fair,) weighed three thousand two 
hundred and fifty pounds.— Cin. Enq., Dee. 5. 
Salt Well in Ohio.— We see it stated that a 
well lias been sunk in Hocking Valley, Ohio, to 
the depth of six hundred feet for the purpose of ob¬ 
taining salt water. Tbe object of the enterprising 
individuals lias been fully accomplished, a supply 
of water having beeu reached which requires but 
fifty-three gallons to make a bushel of salt of 
fifty pounds. The water rises spontaneously to 
the surface, aud flows at the rate of four thousand 
to five thousand gallons per day. 
Successful Enterprise.— Messrs. Patterson & 
Co. recently went over the mountains, to Califor¬ 
nia, taking with them 150 yoke of oxen, 1,000 
sheep, aud 17 wagons. They carried freight 
enough to Salt Lake at a shilling a pound, to make 
a freight bill of $ 12,000. Their oxen are worth in 
California, from G to $700 per pair; their sheep 
$17, aud their wagons $500 each. 
Potato Business South. —The trade in pota¬ 
toes at New Orleans is very extensive. One firm 
at Louisville has shipped GO,000 barrels to New 
Orleans since the 1st July. The additional ship¬ 
ments reach 75,000 barrels from Louisville for the 
same market, the net value of which amounts to 
$ 112,500. The average price of potatoes at Lou¬ 
isville has been $L per barrel, aud tbe freight to 
New Orleans about 50 cents. 
Tahiti.— It is stated in the late advices received 
by way of Chili, that the French authorities in 
Tahiti had again interfered with the English mis¬ 
sionaries, ordering them to reside at Papestc, and 
directed that their churches should have only such 
preachers as the nobles of the village might select, 
thus placing the missionaries entirely in the pow¬ 
er of the government. 
Arrival of the Uncle Sam. 
The Steamer Uncle Sam with later news from 
California arrived at New York on the 28th ult. 
The news is of little importance. 
Sacramento was fast being rebuilt. Pierce’s 
majority was 7,000 in California. 
The news of Mr. Webster’s death caused much 
regret. 
There was no material change in the markets. 
The miners had nearly deserted the mountain 
diggings on account of snow, but at the placers, 
are doing well. 
A tire at Yumas destroyed $200,000 of govern¬ 
ment stores. 
Thanksgiving was observed. Tbe new city gov¬ 
ernment of San Francisco was fairly under way. 
The mail steamer due herein a day or two, has 
on board nearly $3,000,000. 
An earthquake at Acapulco, had destroyed 
many buildings, and involved a loss of $200,000. 
From other parts of the Pacific there is no news 
ol importance. 
Free TrAde ix the Post-Office Business.— 
The new letter envelopes, with the single and 
double stamps, will soon be ready. Then every 
steamer, every railroad train, every stage, every 
express line, and every man, is made a mail car¬ 
rier by act of Congress. Letters, in the govern¬ 
ment envelopes, can be sent in any way, by any 
route, and by any conveyance. So says the law. 
— Herald. 
The Apple Trade. — The Wisconsin Argus, 
judging from the number of barrels of apples en¬ 
tered at Milwaukee from abroad—21,000—says 
that there have been received in the State at 
least 80,000 barrels, averaging two dollars per 
barrel, or the round sum of $160,000 for tbe 
green apples alone. Large quantities of tbe dried 
article bare also beeu imported iuto that State. 
Tobacco in Algeria. —Tbe cultivation of to¬ 
bacco in Algeria is carried on with great spirit 
and success. The total product of last year was 
nearly 1,500,000 lbs ; estimated this year 4,800,- 
000 lbs. The first experiment in tobacco raising 
was made in 1814. Up to last year, one-half was 
the product of Arab labor. This year, however, 
European labor greatly preponderates. 
Law of Newspapers. —The Postmaster Gen¬ 
eral, in reply to a letter from Mr. Pease, a Hart¬ 
ford news agent, says : — “ You are at liberty to 
send newspapers by mail to bona fide subscribers 
from your place of business, at the same rate of 
postage as if sent from the office where such 
newspapers are printed.” 
News Clippings. 
The wife of Elizur Wright has again bless¬ 
ed her husband by giving birth to a fine pair of 
twins—a girl and a boy. This addition makes 18 
children the happy man has had to provide for— 
one regularly every 11 months. 
The meat cakes made at Galveston, Texas, 
are finding a large sale in England. They are 
cakes made out of flour and good meat, mixed 
together, and then dried. They will last for years 
and are highly nutritious. 
The balloon Le Napoleon, which ascended 
from Vangirard with 40,000 printed proclamations 
of the Empire to scatter over the line of its 
route, descended safely in one of the eastern de- 
paitments. 
jrgp The Ohio Legislature have under consider¬ 
ation a proposition for appropriating part of the 
earnings of convicts in prison, to the support of 
their families, iu cases where they have been left 
in want. 
The distance from Buffalo to Washington 
by the new railroad route now under contract, 
and to be completed in two years, is only about 
380 miles, or 120 miles Iqss than from Buffalo to 
New York. 
£5*1“ The cattle train on the N. Y. and Erie 
Railroad, which passed Owego last Thursday, cai- 
ried 2,000 hogs in freight and several cars loaded 
with cattle, all for the New York market. 
J^fpln many places in New York and Ohio, 
ladies are regular operatives in the telegraph offi¬ 
ces. This is an easy and pleasant employment, 
and one iu which females may profitably engage. 
The Hon. John W. Crockett, son of the 
renowned David Crockett, died at Mempis, Tenu., 
on the 24th ult., aged 45 years. He had served 
iu Congress six sessions, with marked ability. 
A mile a minute lias heretofore been con¬ 
sidered pretty fair traveling; but it is said that 
the cars on the Milwaukee and Mississippi Rail¬ 
road make 14 miles in 12 minutes. 
There were weighed at the Albany lock, 
during the past season, 4,500 loaded boats, and 
516 light ones. Tbe aggregate cargoes of the 
boats amounted to 417,142,191 lbs. 
Louis Napoleon’s crown, now in process 
of manufacture, will have the value of 23,010,000 
of francs, including the diamonds of the old renal 
crown. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, \ 
Rochester, Dec. 30, 1852. > 
Wf. approach the ushering in of a new year under au¬ 
spices which give every indication of a prosperous season. 
In the great commercial marts of the world, money is most 
abundant, while from California and Australia the golden 
current continues with unabated richness and profusion. 
Stocks, bonds, and other seeurites command high prices. 
Farms, the foundation of wealth, are increasing in value, 
while every kind of manufactured goods, all descriptions 
of household and farm products command high prices; hut 
labor, the poor man’s capital, has not yet felt the genial 
influence of better prices, though the prospect is en¬ 
couraging.

New York Market. 
NEW YORK, Dec 20-4 P. M. 
FLOUR—There is scarcely anything doing this A. M., 
and the market for common descriptions is better at the 
closing prices of yesterday. Receivers seem disposed to 
wait for the Pacific’s news, while speculators manifest a 
desire to realize, even by accepting still lower prices.— 
There is but little export demand, while buyers for home 
consumption appear to be pretty well supplied. Sales 1,- 
000 bbls, at $5,50 a 5,62^ for common to good stra ght 
State, mostly - at $5,50JL Some parcels not in very good 
order, have been sold as low as $5,37®5,44 ; $5,G$@5,S1 
forcommou to good Ohio and mixed to fancy Michigan and 
Indiana. Canadian held at $5,S7j<j@$6,00, and no sales 
of importance. 
GRAIN—Market for wheat quiet. There is some de¬ 
mand for export, but buyers and sellers are rather wide 
apart in their views. White Michigan can be had at $1,- 
29; prime Genesee at $1,43® 1,34; very good Canadian at 
$1,26. The supply of corn is large, and the market fa¬ 
vors the buyer. Sales 13,000 bu, at 6S@G9 for inferior 
southern and Jersey yellow; 69@70 for good to prime 
white and yellow southern. Oats dull at 50@52 for State 
and western. 
PROVISIONS—Less enqqiry for pork, and market scarce¬ 
ly so firm. Small sales at $1S for old, and $19,25@50 for 
new mess; $10 for old, and $10,50 for new prime. Clear 
held at $16, and small parcels mess selling at $10,50, and 
prime at $13,50. Dressed hogs selling at $S@SJs. Lard 
s •lling slowly at 12@12>4. Small lots prime at 12%@12J<f. 
No change in butter and cheese, and the sales are mode¬ 
rate. 
Albany Market. 
ALBANY, Dec. 28. 
The transactions in Flour are quite limited, and the 
sales have not been of a character to establish quotations; 
in Grain nothing of moment has been done—the stormy 
weather has tended to check business in the street. The 
market for Dressed Hogs is unfavorably affected by the 
weather, The arrivals by Railroad since our last have 
been moderate—receivers are generally disposed to wait 
a favorable change in the weather before offering their 
consignments. A sale of 70 light hogs was made at the 
road last evening at 8c. B uley Malt 13 selling in retail 
parcels at 90c. Hops are quiet, but he'd steadily at 21® 
22c. Whiskey market unchanged—sales 50 bbis. Prison 
at 24^.

Moore's Rural New-Yorker is a capital paper. It is 
published at Rochester, one of the most beautiful cities in 
the country, is printed well, is judicious iu its extracts and 
subjects for editorials, aud opens rich, like a honey comb, 
—having sweets in every cell.— Ncto England Farmer. 
Its leading feature, perhaps is agricultural; but in the 
departments of the arts, the sciences, education, history, 
literature and the daily news, it is most ably and admira¬ 
bly sustained—-is an honor to the newspaper family, as 
well as to its editor aud proprietor.— Mich. Chris. Herald. 
We think it a model paper for the farmer’s family, and 
of a kind much more likely to be patronized, than those 
purely agricultural. If we were to start a periodical again, 
it would be in imitation of the Rural New-Yorker.— Am. 
Agriculturist.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is one of the very best 
family journals with which we are acquainted. Its me¬ 
chanical execution, its illustrations, and the arrangement 
of its contents are complete. The character of its edito¬ 
rials, communications, &c., are of the highest order. It 
must obtain a wide circulation.— Louisville Journal. 
The Rural New-Yorker, we can recommend, consci¬ 
entiously, as pure, good, interesting, and useful — calcula¬ 
ted to make every family into which it is introduced, both 
wiser and better.— Arthur's Home Gazette. 
The Rural New-Yorker, we say again, is as interesting 
and useful a paper as can be found in the State or Union. 
This is no puff, but our real sentiments, and expressed 
because justly demanded.— Sachet!s Harbor Gazelle. 
THe Wool Grower and Stock Register is devoted par¬ 
ticularly to the subjects of raising wool and the breeding 
ot stock; and as it is conducted with undoubted ability, 
should be in the hands of every farmer. — Roch. Democrat, 
We cordially recommend the AYool Grower and Stock 
Register to all our friends interested iu those departments. 
— Granite Farmer. 
It is a journal for which we should suppose every one 
engaged in sheep husbandry c-r stock raising, would gladly 
pay 50 cents a year.— Middlesex Farmer. 
We commend the paper most heartily to the patronage 
of Farmers, stock growers, and all who are interested in 
its objects.— Detroit Free Press.

REAPER AND MOWER. 
First Premium Machine for 1853. 
A WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and the 
, \ second for Reaping, at the N. Y. State Fair, in the great 
d ial at Geneva, N. Y., in July, in competition with eleven 
other machines; awarded a Silver Medal at the Ohio State 
Fair, for the best Reaper and Mower, aud received the 
highest award at the Vermont and Michigan State Fairs, 
for the best Reaping and Mowing Machine. 
The true merit of this Machine has given it a great tri¬ 
umph over all others, and being a perfect combination of 
Reaper and Mower, it comes to the farmer with do.ubie 
value, and it is clearly demonstrated to be the only success¬ 
ful combination of Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple and perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; aud as a Reaper, it is .as simple and perfect as if 
constructed for reaping only. All the change that is neces¬ 
sary from one plan to the other, is to insert or remove a 
loose platform. 
Machines warranted to cut all kinds of grain as well as 
can be cut witli a scythe, and to cur. flax and millet, also to 
’gather clover, timothy and flax seed, and to be well built 
and of good materials. This machine will cut from ten to 
fifteen acres per day, with two horses, and one person to 
tend it when mowing, and two persons when reaping. The 
cutting apparatus is made perfect by means of a double 
edged sickle, aud double guards, as fully tested the last two 
years, and it is connected with a joint, so as to adjust itself 
to uneven ground, and by a level at the driver’s seat, it can 
be raised when moving along, to cur f.-om oue inch to two 
feet from the ground. Al! side draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. The machine will turn square corners, 
and turn square about, either way. Over three hundred 
of these machines were in use the past season, all of which 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
The machines are manufactured at Hoosick Falls for the 
State of New York, and I will have them delivered to any 
part of Western New York where ordered. Price of ma¬ 
chine, where made, $125. Address Gen. R. Harucx

Important to Farmers! 
PORTABLE MILL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1852.] 
OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
Our readers will many of them remember that Ross’ 
Portable Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at the 
Annual State Fair, held in this city a few weeks since.— 
This admirable invention must commend itself to every 
one who has witnessed its operation. In the first place ic 
is easily portable, simple in structure, does not easily get 
out of order, and does its work with great rapidity and 
perfection. It may be used for grinding the coarsest food 
for cattle, or the finest meal for family use. It is also well 
adapted for grinding wheat, rye or buckwheat. It is indeed 
a perfect grist mill in miniature, aud we would advise eve¬ 
ry farmer, if possible, to procure oue. The expense of 
one of these mills, with the apparatus for horse power, 
can not be very great; or a number of farmers might club 
together and procure one, which would he sufficient for all. 
Mr. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. W 
N. B.—Any further information relative to the Conical 
Mill can he obtained by letter, post-paid, or by calling at 
the factory of CHARLES ROSS,

AR’raiiiUSHOME GAZETTE FOR 1853. 
Twenty Copies for $20, and One Copy Additional 
to the Agent or Getter-up of Club. 
F ROM all sides has come the spontaneous acknowledge 
ment, that the Homo Gazette has thus far been the 
Purest and Best Family Newspaper published in the Uni¬ 
ted States; but witli this testimony has also come the over 
and over again repeated wish that we would reduce tiio 
club prices so low that persons of moderate means could, 
by forming large clubs, procure the Home Gazette for $1; 
the price at which so many papers can now be obtained.— 
To this desire we have yieldrd, and have also reduced the 
whole range of Club Prices, so that as small a number as 
four persons, by joining in a club, can get the paper for 
$1,25 each. 
In conducting the Home Gazette, the editors's aim is, to 
blend the entertaining, the useful, and the instructive to¬ 
gether iu such a way - as to secure a high degree of interest, 
and yet at the same time instruct and elevate both the in¬ 
tellect and the affections. 
With the new year will be commenced a new story, or 
nouvelette, by T. S. Arthur, the editor, entitled 
“ SPARING TO SPEND ; 
OR, THE LOFTONS AND THE PINKERTONS,” 
In which the wisdom and true economy in all personal arid 
domestic relations will be set forth and illustrated in the 
author's peculiar manner. 
As heretofore, the original contributors to the Home 
Gazette will be among the best writers iu our country. 
TERMS, IN AD VANCE: 
One copy, per annum, ©2; Two copies $3; Three copies 
] $4; Four copies $5; Eight copies (and one to getter-up 
of Club) $1U ; Thirteen copies $15; Twenty copies $2u. 
OF’ Thus it will be .' een that where a club of twenty 
unite and take the Home Gazette, the price paid by each 
subscriber will only be SI a year, while the getter-up of 
the club will receive a copy in addition for his trouble. 
Post-Masters, and others, who wish to make up clubs of 
twenty at $1 each, can, in order to facilitate the reception 
of the paper by those who first enter the club, send .$10 
for ten copies, and the remaining SI 0 when the club is full, 
at which time the extra copy, for getting up the club will 
be forwarded. 
Alifol-TLU’S HOAIE MAGAZ1NE. 
THE CHEAPEST AND BEST YET OFFERED! 
Eighty Pages per month of Choice Reading Matter for 
$2 A YEAR, OR IN CLUBS OF FOUR AT ONLY ©1,25. 
riUIIS new Magazine is made up of the bgst articles that 
X appear in the Home Gazette, thus fixing in pei manent 
siiape, and for circulation in new channels, literary matter 
from the pens of many of the ablest writers in the country. 
It is from this cause that the publishers are able in the 
outset, to furnish the work at so low a rate. 
A new nouvelette from the pen of T. S. Arthur, the 
editor, was commenced in the first number for October, 
1852, entitled 
“THE OLD MAN’S BRIDE.” 
This story - is continued through the first four numbers of 
the Magazine, from October to January. 
With the February number, another new story, by Mr. 
Arthur, entitled “ Sparing to Spend; or, the Loftons and 
the Pinkertons,” will be commenced, to be continued dur¬ 
ing several months. Thus in the first volume of the Home 
Magazine, two Nouvelettes by the editor will be publish¬ 
ed. As only a limited edition of the first numbers of the 
Magazine was printed, those wishing the “Old Man’s 
Bride,” must send iu their subscriptions early. 
TE R M S .- 
One copy one year, ©2; Two copies $3; Three copies $4; 
Four copies $5 ; Eight copies $10; Twelve copies for 815. 
When a club of twelve subscribers and $15 are sent, an 
copy extra will be furnished to the agent or getter-up of 
the club, or to any address he may designate. 
At these terms, the Home Magazine will be, for the 
amount of choice reading matter furnished, the cheapest 
Monthly Publication in the United States. 
For $3, a copy each of Home Gazette and Home Maga¬ 
zine will be sent for one year. 
In making up clubs, it may frequently be desirable to 
unite in a single club both Home Magazine and Home Ga- 
; zette subscribers. This can be done by always making 
| the club price to tire Magazine subscriber $1,25, no matter 
what the size of the club may be. The extra copy to the 
getter-up of the Club, in all such cases, can bo the Gazette 
or Magazine, at the option of the party who is to receive it. 
Postage on Arthur's Home Magazine. 
The postage under the new law. which went into opera¬ 
tion on the 30th of September, 1852, will he on each num¬ 
ber, 3 cents. If postage is paid quarterly or yearly in ad¬ 
vance, it will only be half of this rate : or IS cents for the 
whole year.
