Arrival of the Niagara. 
The Cunard steamship Niagara arived at New 
York on the 13th, alter a lot.g passage of fourteen 
days from Liverpool, whence she brings dates to 
the 29th January. 
The political news by this arrival is unimpor¬ 
tant. The commercial advices are an advance in 
Cotton, and decline and dullness in Breadstuff's. 
Dissensions among the English Ministry are ru¬ 
mored, Air. Gladstone, the new Chancellor of the 
Exchequer, being already at variance with his col¬ 
leagues on the subject of the Income Tax. Sir 
Francis Baring is mentioned as the probable suc- 
cesor of Mr. Gladstone. Air. Cobden has made 
another series of Peace demonstrations. Lord 
Shaftesbury writes from Genoa in rejoinder to the 
reply of certain American ladies to the Stafford 
House Address. The call for a new trial in the 
ease of Achilli vs. Newman has been discharged, 
and Dr. Newman was to be brought up for judg¬ 
ment. None of the gold-laden vessels from Aus¬ 
tralia have arrived, and great disappointment was 
exhibited. Some specimens of Canadian gold 
have been tested with no satisfactory result. A 
meeting of Mexican bond-holders had approved of 
the appointment of collectors at all the ports of 
Mexico, to prevent the revenue due to the bond¬ 
holders from falling into the hands of the Mexi¬ 
can Government. 
The news from France is nothing. The people 
have almost ceased to wonder at the Imperial 
Marriage, though there is no lack of speculations 
as to the reception of the intelligence by the foreign 
Couits. The crown-jewels have been delivered 
with the accustomed state to the Minister of State. 
The household of the Empress is partly chosen. 
Should Pies IX. refuse to go to Paris to Crown 
the Emperor, he and the Empress will go to Rome. 
The contemplated alliance between Prince Na¬ 
poleon Bonaparte and the Piineess of Wagram 
has been broken off; and the Prince has been 
named a General of Division as a salvo for his 
discomfiture. 
In Spain, the Electoral Committee of 1 lie 
Moderate Opposition was believed to bo on the 
point of dissolution, in consequence of the last two 
Ministerial Circulars. The Government has con¬ 
cluded a foreign loan of a 75.000,000 reals, sup¬ 
posed to be on account of Messrs Baring Brothers. 
In Germany a new Prussian loan of 20.000,000 
rix-dollars has been taken by the house of Roths¬ 
child. 
n Denmark, the King has approved a project 
f< r tiie establishment of railroads throughout 
J utiand. 
In Italy, the Senate of Sardinia hsa adopted the 
law for the suppression of the Slave Trade. Two 
letters from the Madias’ are published, expresive 
of great patience and meekness ; Francisco con¬ 
tinued very feeble. 
In Turkey, the Montenegrine movements are 
the only interesting features. An army of 30,000 
men is preparing to crush the hardy mountaineers, 
and is to attack them at several points. 
In India, the British have met a slight reverse 
of fortune : an advanced post having been attack¬ 
ed with some success by the Burmese forces.

"CW The delivery of flour and wheat at tide 
water from the Erie canal, during the year which 
has just terminated, was ne*rly five millions of 
barrels from the Western States, and nearly a mil¬ 
lion from the interior of New York ; which is 
more than a million of barrels or 25 per cent, over 
the preceding year; more than nine-tenths of 
which increased delivery was from Western States 
—a larger increase in one year than ever before, 
except in the year of the famine in Ireland. All 
other grains and agricultural productions follow 
these leading articles, and contribute to swell the 
volume of increase of trade on the canal. 
Jgg 5 " A Milk Convention, largely attended by 
delegations from the chief milk producing coun¬ 
ties of New York State, was held in Westchester 
county on the 3d inst. Resolutions were adopted 
having in view a more systematic management of 
the milk business, that both producer and con¬ 
sumer may be better protected from the evils of 
adulteration, dilution, Ac. They also recommend 
that a milk inspector be appointed in the city. 
It is remarked that the Germans emigrate 
mainly to the United States, and go in whole vil¬ 
lages and communities at once, taking their cler¬ 
gymen with them, and having generally sent over 
someone beforehand, to survey the promised land 
and make preparation. The Central Emigration 
Society of Germany gives the number who sailed 
in 1852, as 103,318, carrying with them about £3G 
each, or a total of about £3,000,000. 
3LH T ”The American Colonization Society lias 
now applications from various masters to send 
several slaves to Liberia, and of these, one com¬ 
pany, numbering thirty-one persons, liberated by 
a lady in Virginia, has been assigned to the Penn¬ 
sylvania Society. The cost of their transporta¬ 
tion will be about $>2,300, Avhicli sum the Society 
is endeavoring to raise by subscriptions before the 
1st of April. 
The American Colonization Society has 
noAv applications from various masters to send 
several hundred slaves to Liberia, and of these, 
one company, numbering thirty-one persons, lib¬ 
erated by a lady of Virginia, bus been assigned 
to the Pennsylvania Society. The cost of their

J^gF”Six large volumes constituting the Works 
of Daniel Webster, have already passed through 
seven editions, and another is immediately to be 
put to pres’. Two volumes of his letters are ex¬ 
pected to be published in about four months.— 
Several hundred letters have already been collect¬ 
ed by the gentlemen having the matter iu charge, 
and others are coming to light, daily. 
The Albany Register says Moses Stoddard 
of Amherst, Erie Co., sold four oxen, weighing 
9,500 lbs. Three of them were raised from one 
cow, aged six, seven and eight. The largest meas¬ 
ures 18LA Lands high, across the loin. There is 
nothing in the State to compare with these fine 
cattle. Messrs. Sprague £ Co., of Genesee Co., 
challenge competition. 
Fifty thousand letters were sent from the 
New York Post Office, one Saturday, and between 
e ght.y and ninety thousand newspapers, filling 
277 bags. The Baltic also took out30,00t) letters 
the same day. Three years ago, the number of 
letters sent to California, was about 25,000 a 
month. Now the number is 100,000 a month. 
B3F“The Postmaster-General gives notice, un¬ 
der date of Feb. 10, that on the personal solicita¬ 
tion of the French Minister, the order of 24th 
January last, equalizing the rates of postage on all 
letters between the United States and France, via 
England, is suspended for three months. 
Arrival of Three Steamers. 
By the arrival of the steamships Ohio, Northern 
Light and Uncle Sam, rvere received the Califor¬ 
nia mails and shipments of gold to tile 15th ult., 
xvitli later dates from Panama, Aspinwall, San 
Juan and Kingston. 
The gold received by the Ohio and Uncle Sam 
amounts to a little over $2,000,000, of which $1,- 
813,000 are in freight and the remainder in tiie 
hands of passengers. The intelligence from Cali¬ 
fornia is not at all encouraging. Tho floods still 
continued, and there was a great scarcity of food 
iu many of the mining districts. The’prices of 
provisions Avere enormous, and (lie roads were in 
such bad plight that no fresh supplies could be 
obtained in the interior without great difficulty. 
The I ravel on the Isthmus is remarkably good, 
passengers having crossed from ocean to ocean in 
twenty hours. 
By these arrivals, we have also received later 
dates from Oregon, the Sandwich and Society Isl¬ 
ands, aud New Zealand, but there is no news. 
News Clippings. 
From Mexico we learn that the example 
of Cromwell and Napoleon has been followed bv 
the new President, Cevalos, and the refractory 
Congress dispersed at the point of the bayonet, 
after which he issued a decree to call a Conven¬ 
tion to meet in June to reform Lire Constitution, 
&c. The City of Mexico has at length also de¬ 
clared for the revolution. 
LIT We are gratified to learn that, in his wild 
and picturesque retreat upon the Hudson, Mr. 
Willis is gradually recovering from the illness 
Avhicli took him to the tropics last winter, and 
that his health, so long the subject of anxious 
solicitude on tire part of his friends, is likely to be 
entirely restored. 
ft^F’Tlie 16th annual report of the Trustees of 
the Ohio Asylum for the Blind, has been printed 
by order of the Legislature. The number of in¬ 
mates is 66 ; in the department for boys the re¬ 
ceipts were $1,064 63 over the expenditures, and 
in that for tile girls $75 68. Expenses for 1852 
were $7,329 64. 
{[fT Siuee the discovery of the silver mines of 
Potosi, there have been extracted from them not 
less than sixteen hundred millions of dollars !_ 
The vein is said to be as rich now as it ever was 
but It is not worked, for the want of mechanical 
f >ree, such as steam aud the facilities of commerce 
alone can afford. 
ft is estimated that in the year 1852, there 
were 204,951,595 pounds of coffee consumed in 
the United States, being 20.756,095 pounds more 
than in 1851. The estimated weight of stock on 
hand in die different ports which import the ar¬ 
ticle, on Jan. 1, 1853, avus 39,146,570 pounds. 
tW The Ontario Repository states that half a 
dozen sportsmen, in Canandaigua, recently made 
an excursion into Hamilton county, where they 
succeeded in bringing down twenty-seven fat 
deer. The snow was about two feet and a half 
deep, and the hunting first rate. 
The widow of the late Wilbur Fisk, first 
President of the Wesleyan University, is now liv¬ 
ing in poverty. A subscription lias been propos¬ 
ed to raise tAvo thousand dollars, of which Mrs. 
Fisk is to receive the interest during her life, and 
then the fund to go to the College. 
SPIT The Luav passed by the Legislature of 
Iowa, regulating interest on money, makes six 
per cent the rate of interest in all cases where 
there is no express stipulation in writing; bill 
parties may agree in Avriiing for a rate as high as 
ten per ceut. 
A private letter from Key West, dated 
Jan. 25th, states that Mr. King’s health is far bet¬ 
ter than when he left New York. His cough is 
easier, and he is better and stronger every way._ 
His physician expresses strong hopes that he will 
recover. 
S3?” A sort of stampede has broken out among 
the producers of hemp, '[’he farmers want $100 
per ton, but bids do not go above $S0. The crop 
now in hand is said to be merely an average, both 
in quantity and quality. 
Some of the brokers in Paris make $20,-

varieties. \Ve have j us: returned from ti io w est, 
Micro during the fall and winter we have sold over one 
thousand sheep, in Ohio, Michigan and Illinois, scattering 
over those growing States just the animals needed by the 
formers and wool growers to enable them to shear fine 
Hocks, and reap a golden reward for their labor. During 
the present month we shall select from among the best, 
breeders in New England, a flock of choice sheep embrac¬ 
ing both French an 1 Spanish, which will he offered for 
side at Akron, Ohio, as early ns March first. AVe are not 
only dealers, but breeders, having raised many that would 
meet the approbation of the best judges. No pains have 
been or will be spared to furnish all with whom we deal, 
sheep that can be guarrantied; pure of their kind ami 
breed, and in all respects as they are represented. We 
shall be prepared to furnish desirable animals of eitlipr va¬

Business has been fair during the past week; sleighing 
passable only. AV’e have little change to note in market 
prices, except a decline in Flour and Wheat, and hence 
our report is brief. 
Flour.—T he price has declined, according to our quo¬ 
tations, — partially owing, probably, to the decline in 
breadstuffs reported by the last steamer from Europe. 
Grain.—W heat has fallen, and comes in slowly. Good 
samples sold yesterday at SI,12, which we consider a fair 
quotation. Other grains as quoted below. 
Clover Seed is in less demand. We quote tho highest

NEW VARIETY OF SWEET COHN. 
M ESSRS. HOVEY & CO., No. 7, Merchants Row, 
Boston, would respectfully inform their friends and 
the public, that tliev have purchased tho entire stock of 
the OLD COLONY SWEET CORN,raised by the Rev. A. 
It. Pope, and described by him in the Magazine of Horti¬ 
culture, Volume 14, page 529. 
It is a true hybrid and the most remarkable variety ever 
produced. Jt was raised iu 1817, from the Southern 
White Corn, impregnated with the early Sweet Corn of 
New England. The ears are of remarkable size, contain¬ 
ing sixteen, eighteen or twenty, and sometimes twenty- 
four rows each. In its productiveness it is unsurpassed, a 
single stock planted after the middle of June, producing 
six ears. It is the ridfest, sweetest and most delicious corn 
known. An analysis of it, and several other sorts, by Dr. 
C. T. Jackson, shows that it is more abundant in saccha 
riue matter than any other variety, its composition being 
“dextrine, sugar, and phospliates,” while ihe common va¬ 
rieties contain considerable “oil and gluten.'’ 
It has been exhibited before the Massachusetts Horti¬ 
cultural Society for three years, and has not only received 
the commendation of the Society, but has been awarded 
the following prizes : 
1850. For a new variety of Sweet Corn,.$2,00 
1851. For a new variety of Sweet Corn, called the Old 
Colony,.8,00 
For superior specimens of the Old Colony 
Sweet Corn, Silver Medal,..5.00 
1852. For fine specimens of Old Colony Sweet Corn,. 2,00 
The Committee on Vegetables, of the Massachusetts 
Horticultural Society, in their Report for 1852, remark, 
“ That the Old Colony Sweet Corn, raised by Mr. Pope, 
we recommend as worthy of cultivation by all.” 
The Old Colony Sweet Corn, though not as early as the 
Common Sweet, is sufficiently so to produce a perfect crop 
in New England. Two sowings, one in May and the other 
in June, will supply the table from July until frost. All 
who have eaten it, pronounce it tho most luscious variety, 
aud an invaluable additiou to our esculent vegetables. 
Single ears, 25 cents each. The trade supplied on 
reasonable terms. 163w4

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 groat 
trial 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, and 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 double 
value, and it is clearly demonstrated to be the only success¬ 
ful combination ot Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple and perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; and as a Reaper, it is as simple and perfect as if 
constructed for reaping only. Allthecliange 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 lie cut with a scythe, and to cut 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, and double guards, as fully tested the bust 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 cut from one inch to two 
feet from the ground. All aide draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. The machine will turu 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. K. Harmon

Ohio, Michigan, and in New York, for the best Railroad 
Horse Powers in 1850, 1851, and again in 1852, also at the 
Provuicinciul Fair of Canada, recently held at Toronto, 
was awarded a Diploma and £2, of which tiie judges high¬ 
ly commend the principle aud workmanship of this Power, 
now otter them at manufacturer's prices, with the trans¬ 
portation added, arid subject to the warrantee as follows : 
“To work to the satisfaction of purchasers as represent¬ 
ed i’* Circulars aud Catalogues, or to be returned within 
three months, and full purchase money to be refunded.” 
Lor further particulars see Circulars and Catalogues,

The attention of the Farming public is solicited, and a 
careful investigation into the construction of this Power 
and its comparative merits, as well as price, is requested 
before purchasing elsewhere. 
The Wheeler power is also offered ten dollars clieapei 
than heretofore by any other agency, and subject to same 
warrantee as given by others for the same kinds. Samples

Particular attention is called to A NEW PLOW, which 
is believed to be the best cast-iron Plow ever offered, and 
which is warranted to do better work, with less expense of 
team, than any plow heretofore sold in this vicinity, while 
the price is less than for any other equally well finished 
The “ uniform one-price, cash system” will be adopted, 
wffh prices as low as the cost of articles, and just compen¬ 
sation for labor and time will allow. Farmers and others 
are invited to call and examine tho stock of Machines and 
Implements,—and are assured no effort shall be wanting to 
meet promptly the wants of a discriminating public. ”

PORTABLE HULL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1852.) 
I ) OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
Y Our readers will many of them remember that Ross’ 
Portable Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at too 
Annual State Fair, held in tin's city a few weeks since._ 
This admirable invention must commend itself to every 
one who has witnessed its operation. In the first place it 
is easily portable, simple in structure, does not easily get 
out of order, and does its woik with great rapidity and 
perfection. Ir. 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, and we would advise eve¬ 
ry farmer, if possible, to procure one. 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 be sufficient for all. 
Mr. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. Y. 
N. B.—Any further information relative to the Conical 
Mill can be obtained by letter, post-paid, or by callin'- at 
the factory of CHARLES ROSS,

CARY’S ROTARY FIRE ENGINE PUMP. 
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¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion being rotary, the stream 
is constant without the »>d of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, aud 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, &c. The 
highest testimonials will be given. 
No. 1 is a house or well pump and domestic Fire En¬ 
gine, and will raise from 20 to 30 gallons per minute. 
No. 2 will raise 100 gallons at 120 revolutions. 
No. 2 14 do 200 do 120 do. 
No. 3 do 300 do 120 do. 
The quantity raised can be doubled, by doubling the 
revolutions. These machines are manufactured and seid
