|5jf” The caloric ship Ericsson, left "Williams¬ 
burg between the hours of 1) and 10 o’clock, A. 
M., on Tuesday. She passed the iiag staff on 
Governor’s Island at!) 56, and was abreast of Fort 
Diamond at 10,30.30, being a distance of 7% 
miles, in 3d minutes and 30 seconds ; ran down 
the bay, and rounded to below Spit buoy, at 11,- 
21 , where the pilot anchored her, on account of 
the thick weather—and yesterday she returned to 
town. Her consumption of coal, including her 
firing up, was at the rate of six tons in 2-1 hours. 
Those most interested were perfectly satisfied 
with her success. 
jjpff" The New York Tribune gives a table 
showing the mortality in the city of New York, 
and the diseases for 1852. The grand result is 
21,558, viz :—Men, 4,612; women, 2,042 ; boys, 
7,263 ; girls, 5,636. Of these, 13,781 were natives 
of the United States. Of the whole, 2,462 died 
of consumption ; 882 of dropsy in the head ; 770 
of dysentery; 649 of apoplexy; 609 of scarlet 
fever; 652 of inflammation of the lungs ; 568 of 
diarrhoea, and 498 of small pox. 
£^0” It is stated that the late Amos Lawrence 
has, for several years past, given away in charity, 
more than his income. He was busily engaged 
for several days before his death, in packing up 
clothing and other necessaries for poor and de¬ 
serving objects. Within a few weeks he inclosed 
SjilOO to a young clergyman of limited means, who 
hail lost his wife, and whom he supposed to be in 
straitened circumstances. 
Some of the friends of the venerable Dr. 
Beecher, have purchased an annuity of five hun¬ 
dred dollars a year, and presented it to him on 
New Year's day as a token of respect for his long 
and faithful services in the canse of religion and 
good morals. The letter accompanying the same 
is signed by John Tappan, Samuel id. Walley, 
Enoch Train, George W. Crockett, and S. G. 
Proctor. 
Hj^T The last advices from England, quoting 
iron rails at £9 10@£10 per ton on board, which 
being a large advance on previous rates, will in 
its effect have an important bearing upon the con¬ 
struction of new lines in this country. At these 
rates rails will cost, laid down in this country, 
about $70 per ton, being an advance of over $30 
within the past five months. 
The Cleveland Herald learns by letter from 
Sauit St, Marie, that during the month of Decem¬ 
ber there were two weeks of Indian Summer 
weather there, hazy, mild and temperate. The 
propellor Napoleon made a trip on Lake Superi¬ 
or, carrying supplies to the miners in the upper 
country, and returned in safety. 
£.5?™ The Attica Atlas states that a wolf was 
killed near that village last week. Not long since 
a fox was taken in the village. Tnese animals 
are not supposed to have escaped from any pri¬ 
vate menagerie, but were remnants of the animal 
tribes that formerly ruled in the fqrests there¬ 
abouts. 
jrlf” One of the tunnels on the Pennsylvania 
Railroad, now constructing, is to be 3,570 feet in 
length. Its area, at the widest space within the 
lines of the masonry will be about 24 feet, and the 
spring of the arch will begin 16 feet from the 
crown of the arch. . About 400 men are employed 
upon it 
James Smith, of Philadelphia, recently 
made a donation of $ 10,000 to Leicester Academy, 
Worcester county, Mass., on condition that $5,000 
should be sub cribed bv other parties before the 
first day of January, 1853. The condition was 
complied with. 
(jt^"Gov. Seymour, in bis Message, recommends 
the establishment of an asylum for the Insane in 
Western New York. The two State asylums are 
now filled, and yet less than a third of this un¬ 
fortunate class of persons in the State are pro¬ 
vided for. 
jogT 1 No less than 2,000 hogs reached Chicago 
in a single day by railroad. What a waste of 
time, labor and capital would have been expended, 
had these been brought to the city by team. How 
can we overrate the value of railroads? 
There are at present, twelve Americans 
pursuing their studies at the University of Got¬ 
tingen,” eight of whom are engaged in chemistry. 
Of all the students in the Laboratory, it is said 
they are the most promising. 
£'§f r ” Rev. Lyman Beecher lias been presented 
with a life annuity of $500, by Messrs. John 
Tappan, S. H. Walley, Enoch Train, George W. 
Crockett and John C. Proctor. Dr. Beecher is 75 
years of age. 
Another Veteran Gone. —We learn with re¬ 
gret of the death of Geo. W. Willey, of Ogden, in 
this county. He was bron in East Haddam, Ct., 
and came to this county in 1804. He was about 
85 years old at the time of his death. In 1849, lie 
was awarded the medal of the Pioneer Society, he 
then being the oldest settler present at their meet¬ 
ing. The medal is now in the hands of Col. 
Newton, Secretary of the Society, and was last 
voted to Dr. Azel Ensworth, who is now about 
94 years of age, and like Mr. Willey, was a native 
ot Connecticut.— Rock. Daily Union. 
The Poor. —By the report of Mr. McKay, Over¬ 
seer of the city poor, we learn that he assisted in 
December, 1852, 195 families, consisting of 744 
persons, at an expense of $517 31. The expendi¬ 
ture for December, 1851, was over $900. The 
mildness of the weather during the past month 
has doubtless materially lessened the expense.— 
Rock. Daily Union. 
Butter Trade. —The Wooster (0.1 Democrat 
states that Mr. Patrick has closed up his purchases 
of butter at that point for the season, but will 
commence again about, the first of A1av. His 
total shipments were 80,088 pounds, for which 
the fanners received in cash $10,963. Probably 
10,000 pounds was refused in consequence of its 
inferior quality. This butter is purchased for 
shipment to California. Next year it is expected 
that the amount exported will be largely in¬ 
creased. Dairymen will take notice that the ar¬ 
ticle will probably be in great demand and act 
accordingly. 
Present to Hobart Free College. —We learn 
t.h i Bishop DeLancey, has presented this Insti- 
tulion a beautiful Solar and Lucern Compound 
Microscope, valued at about $300. Prof. Fowler, 
pronounces it an instrument of a superior kind, 
and one w rtby of being presented by the Bishop 
to the Institution.— Geneva Courier. 
^ Robust Old Age. —Lewis Cass and Thomas H. 
IL n ton are two of the most robust and healthy 
1111,1 to be seen in Washington. Both are and 
have, been remarkably temperate from boyhood. 
Gen Oass has ever been a cold water man, and 
lonk ! as if he would last a score of years yet._ 
011 appears fresh and energetic as ever.

Arrival of the Northern Light. 
The steamer Northern Light, from San Juan 
de Nicaraugua, arrived at New York, Jan. 9, with 
San Francisco dates to the 15th ult. 
The whole passage from San Francisco to New 
York only occupied 24 days. 
The Northern Light brings 200 passengers. 
The Sonora Herald is out in favor of the re¬ 
moval of the capital to that place. 
At French’s and Headman’s Gulch, the miners 
have been doing well. A rich lead mine bad been 
discovered. 
A petition for the adoption of the Maine Liquor 
Law is in circulation ; also petitions for a better 
observance of the Sabbath. 
The roads throughout a portion of the State are 
so bad that the stages have been abandoned. 
The rainy season bad commenced in good ear¬ 
nest throughout California, at the date of the de¬ 
parture of this steamer. The floods had risen to 
such an extent, as to render many of the roads 
impassable. The rain, however, bad not inter¬ 
fered much with the miners. 
The market for nearly every description of 
produce had largely advanced since the steamer 
of the 1st. The greatest advance that had been 
realized was in the price of flour, which com¬ 
manded figures never heard of since the discovery 
of the State. 
Provisions were very scarce, and held at rates 
too high to admit of operations, except for the 
supply of actual wants. The general feeling in 
the markets was, in consequence cf their rapid 
advance, quite animated. 
Flour was selling at Columbia, Oregon, at $80 
per barrel. 
The first legal execution took place at San 
Francisco on the 10th ult. 
A small portion of the city of Shasta was de¬ 
stroyed on the 28th of Nov. by fire. The total 
loss was about $100,000. 
Catharine Hayes was achieving immense tri¬ 
umphs. The first choice seat, at auction sale, 
realized $1,100 premium. 
Foleicji] 
Arrival of the America. 
TriE America arrived at Halifax, Jan. 9, with 
one week’s later news from Europe. 
Cotton market firm. Sales of the week 33,000 
bales. 
Liverpool Grain Market. — The Liverpool 
grain market was quiet at last week’s prices. 
Brown, Shipley <6 Co., quote western canal flour 
at 28s fid : Philadelphia, Ohio and Baltimore 29s ; 
Canadian 26@29s ; sour 24@26s. 
White wheat 7s 4d@7s lOd ; red, 6s fid. 
Corn — White, 36s; yellow, 34s fid; mixed, 
34*. 
There will be but little business doing till after 
Christmas. 
Liverpool Provision Market. — New beef in 
firm request. Holders ask an advance on last 
quoted prices which have not generally been con¬ 
ceded. Pork again dearer, with an upward ten¬ 
dency. 
The English ministry is not yet completed un¬ 
der the Premiership of the Earl of Aberdeen.— 
He is at the head of the Government, with the 
concurrence of Lord Lansdowne. It is expected, 
(though it does not seem likely,) that Lord John 
Russell will consent to take the Foreign Office, 
and Lo ci Palmerston the Home. Both Houses 
met on the 2(Jth, when Earl Derby officially an¬ 
nounced the resignation, and entered into the 
statement of the causes. D’Israeli, in the Com¬ 
mons, made a similar announcement. 
A Peace Convention is to be held at Manches¬ 
ter, on the 27th and 28th of January. 
It is said that Mr. Russell, M. P., for Limerick, 
is forming a company for a line of steamers be¬ 
tween Limerick and America. 
'The news from the Continent is of no account. 
France is unusually quiet, even to dullness. Louis 
Napoleon had enjoyed a momentary conflict with 
the Senate, but it amounted to nothing save the 
backing out of the Senators. 
In Spain a new Ministry is just organized un¬ 
der Roncali; nothing has come of it. 
'The Sclavic Insurrection in Turkey is increas¬ 
ing, finances are in a snarl, and serious trouble is 
threatened. 
There are favorable accounts from the Cape of 
Good Hope, with regard to the rebellious Kaffirs ; 
and also from Australia, stating that mining and 
agriculture promise rich rewards. 
Death or Judge Carpenter.— Hon. Powell 
Carpenter, died on Wednesday afternoon, the 5th 
inst., at his residence in Scottsville. He had been 
riding in a sleigh, and having returned to his 
house a little after noon, ate his dinner as usual. 
Almost immediately afterwards he expired while 
sitting in his chair ! Judge Carpenter was a ven- 
eradle and highly respected citizen. We are not 
able to state his age with accuracy, but think it 
must have been near eighty. He was among the 
earliest settlers of the southern portion of this 
county, participating largely in the privations 
which attended those who first cleared away the 
forest, and enjoying during a residence of nearly 
half a century, the unqualifisd respect, esteem and 
attachment of his neighbors.— Daily American. 
Sad Accident. —The President elect bad a very 
narrow escape, and met a very sad bereavement 
on the 6th inst., upon the railroad near Andover, 
Mass. Returning with his family from Boston, 
whither they had been in attendance upon the 
funeral of Mr. Lawrence, the car in which they 
were seated was thrown down a steep bank some 
twenty feet high, rolling over and over in its 
progress, and seriously injuring a number of the 
passengers. Gen. Pierce and Mrs. Pierce were but 
slightly hurt; but, on taking up their only son, a 
lad twelve years old, his father found that he had 
been instantly killed. What deep shadows fall, 
from this bereavement upon the high and brilliant 
path of public service into which Gen. Pierce is 
so soon to enter! 
Peanuts —Since the first of October, the far¬ 
mers of the Isle of Wight county. Va, have sold 
at Norfolk, upwards of 15,000 bushels of peanuts, 
which averaged ninety cents per bushel, and the 
crop is not half exhausted. It is estimated that 
this county aloue, though not remarkable for the 
productiveness of its soil, realized by its sides in 
Norfolk, quite $250,000. 
Singular Coincidence. —Johnstown, in Fulton 
county, N. Y., is a steady whig “settlement”— 
Its Whig majority on the electoral ticket at the 
three last Presidential elections was as follows : 
1814, Clay 383 majority ; 1848, Taylor 384 ma¬ 
jority ; 1852, Scott 383 majority. Differing but a 
single vote in eight years.

A RELIGIOUS AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
Published weekly by James S. Dickerson & Co., No. 122 
Nassau St., New York. Edited by M. B. Anderson. 
T he NEW YORK RECORDER has been so long be¬ 
fore the public, that its character for enterprise, sound I 
principles, and literary ability is well known ; and the pro¬ 
prietors renew their pledges that they will spare no labor 
or expense to maintain the high character which the paper 
now bears, and to carry it forward in the same ratioof im¬ 
provement that has marked its course for the many years 
that it has been before the public. 
The place of publishing, at the Commercial Emporium 
of tiie Western Continent, gives the Proprietors facilities 
for making a newspaper, of which they will avail them¬ 
selves to the fullest extent. 
They have consummated arrangements for securing reg¬ 
ular contributions ami correspondence from various parts 
of our own country and Europe. 
Special care will be given to the collection of Religious 
and Literary Intelligence, and to short Reviews of New 
Works as they are published. The departmentof secular 
news is under the care of an eminently competent person, 
and the Proprietors are able to give the news up to the 
latest hour of going to press. 
Tiie size of the paper has recently been increased to 
that of the largest religious journals, while its mechanical 
execution is ill the first style of the art. 
The best endeavors of the Editor and Proprietors will be 
put forth to make all departments of the paper subservient 
to the advancement of General Intelligence, Sound Moral¬ 
ity, and Evangelical Religion. 
Terms, $2,00 a Year, in Advance. 
Opinions of the Press. 
The New - York Recorder —The prince of Baptist 
journals comes to us this week enlarged and improved.— 
It is determined to keep up with the “ progressive spirit” 
of the age. It will, no doubt, command a circulation com¬ 
mensurate with the enterprise and energy of its conduct¬ 
ors.— Southern Baptist. 
The New-York Recorder. —For a number of years, we 
have regularly read tliis paper, and our interest in it has 
increased, instead of diminished. It has been very ably 
conducted, and has reached a good degree of prosperity. 
It was our privilege a few days ago to see the present edi¬ 
tor, Mr. Anderson. The impression made on our mind 
during a short interview with him was decidedly favorable 
on his part. We doubt not that his readers will be pleas¬ 
ed with him, and that the excellence of the paper at the 
head of which he lias taken his station will be well sus¬ 
tained.— Wilmington Intelligencer. 
New-York Recorder.— Tliis excellent paper is publish¬ 
ed by James S. Dickerson & Co., and edited by Professor 
M. B. Anderson, late of Waterville College. Mr. Dicker- 
son is a liberal-minded, warm-hearted Christian, “ diligent 
in business,” with the advantages of a thorough education. 
Professor Anderson is well known as a man of eminent 
talents and piety. We have reason to expect “great 
tilings,” of the New-York Recorder.— New York Chronicle. 
New-York Recorder.— Professor M. B. Anderson, late 
of Waterville College, has taken the editorial charge of the 
New-York Recorder, a large weekly paper in this city.— 
Although a young man, he is said to be a person of great 
learning and fine powers as a writer. The few specimens 
of tiie Recorder that we have seen give evidence of the 
ability of the new editor.— New York Tribune. 
The New-York Recorder. —This paper has recently 
passed into the hands of James S. Dickerson & Co. Mr. 
Dickerson is an energetic business man, and not unac¬ 
quainted with literature. The firm have ample pecuniary 
resources, and will undoubtedly carry forward the publish¬ 
ing of this valuable periodical with vigor and success.— 
Professor Anderson is one of our strongest writers, and 
we have no doubt that, for sound and vigorous thought, 
good judgment, industry, imagination and vivacity, he will 
not be surpassed by any editor in the city.— Baptist Me¬ 
morial. 
Professor Anderson, of Waterville, Me., succeeds the 
late editor, and brings to the duties assumed a reputation 
ripe in scholastic attainments, and eminent in moral sci¬ 
ence.— New York Express. 
The Recorder has been a leading organ of the Baptist 
denomination; but we look to see its influence, ns well as 
its.circulation extended in the hands of Mr. Anderson, its 
present editor. We congratulate the friends and patrons 
of that paper, as well as the denomination generally, on 
haring secured to its agency so strong and vigorous a mind; 
a man whose learning, talent, and energy, and sound com¬ 
mon sense withal, promise to make him well known in 
the broad field to which he has devoted himself.— Eastern 
Mail. 
New-York Recorder. —This excellent journal occupies 
a conspicuous position in the frout rank of tiie religious 
press. Mr. Anderson is said to be a ripe scholar, a zeal¬ 
ous Christian and an energetic man; and the highest an¬ 
ticipations are indulged with respect to the future career 
of the Recorder.— Baltimore True Union.

1853, devoted to Science, Literature, and General Intelli¬ 
gence. Published by Fowlers and Wells, No. 131 Nas-

Phrenology, the- science of mind, includes in its wide 
domain a knowledge of all the faculties, passions and pow¬ 
ers of the Huai an sour,; all the bodily organism over which 
the soul presides, with its structures and functions; and 
all tiie realm of nature to which man is related, and with 
which he should live in harmony. It includes a knowledge 
of man and its relations to God and to the universe. It is 
thus a central and comprehensive science, beginning with 
the constitution of man, and ending with all his possible 
relations, spiritual and mental. It is thus that selp- 
knowlf.dge is the base of all knowledge.

tesque developments. ,

life, and anxious to start right and understand their course 
will find the Journal a friend and monitor to encourage 
them in virtue, shield them from vice, and to prepare them 
for usefulness and success in life Tiie various occupations 
will be discussed in the light of Phrenology and Physiolo¬

December, 1852. Rochester, N. Y. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker, valuable for its illustra¬ 
tions, and for its fidelity as an organ of the country—Ks 
peculiar interests and pursuits. Mr. Moore ought to make 
a fortune out of his Journal, and we trust he will for he 
is helping to make the fortune of the country. We bid 
him “God Speed.”— Ohio Statesman. 
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. 
Its leading feature, perhaps is agricultural: but in tho 
departments of the arts, the sciences, education, history, 
literature and the daily news, it is most abiv and admira¬ 
bly sustained—is an honor to tiie newspaper family, as 
well as to its editor and proprietor.— Mich. Chris. Herald. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is a capital paper. It is 
published at Rochester, one of tiie most beautiful cities in 
the country, is printed well, is judicious in its extracts and 
subjects for editorials, and opens rich, like a honey comb, 
—having sweets in every cell.— New England Farmer. 
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, hut. our real sentiments, and express, d 
because justly demanded.— Sackett's Harbor Gaiette.
