MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
H 
iroleigi) ^fellicjesjce. 
Arrival of the America. 
The America was at Halifax on the 17tli with 
Liverpool dates to 5th inst. 
England. —The news from England is quite 
devoid of interest. Cotton continued to advance, 
but a decline hail occurre 1 in Breadstuff*. Hr. 
Newman, defendant in the celebrated ease < f 
Achilli vs. Newman, lias been sentenced to a fire 
of £100, with imprisonment till payment. A Rt- 
form banquet was held at Manchester on the Ed 
inst. Messrs. Cobdeu and Bright wore present, 
and the former gentleman proposed a banter at 
great odds, against the possibility of a French in¬ 
vasion of England. The bet, it is said, lias been 
taken. A Naval Militia is talked of. The loan 
guaranteed by the government for the West India 
islands, lias been taken by a Londou Insurance 
Company, the Atlas. 
France. —From France we have accounts of the 
celebration of the Imperial nuptials in magnifi¬ 
cent style, at Notre Dame. The Emperor and 
Empress retired to St. Cloud after the ceremony. 
The Empress has devoted a quarter of a million 
of francs, the gift of the Emperor, to the Mater¬ 
nity Society and the Hospital for incurables, eac! 
of which Institutitions receive one-hfIf the sun’ 
named. The Emperor endorses the gift in behalf 
of “our much-loved wife, the Empress Eugenie.” 
Imperial projects on a scale of lavish expenditure 
are on foot. Among others, several new Palaces 
are named. Modifications of the present Ministry 
are looked fur. Legitimist circles are circulatii >. 
a letter from Changaruier, declaring that a Euro¬ 
pean war is inevitable. 
The intelligence from the rest of Europe is not 
worthy of note. Austria has concluded a Treaty 
of Commerce with Prussia, for twelve years. 
From Prussia we have another version of the 
manner in which the Cabinets of St. Petersburg, 
Berlin and Vienna recognized the French Empire. 
They called for the observance of existing Trea¬ 
ties, and the maintenance of the present territorial 
limits of the European States. 
The war in Montenegro continued with unabat¬ 
ed ardor, and rew.-trds were offered for every Turk’s 
head brought into the camp of the insurgents. 
The Overland Mail brings details of the war in 
Burundi, but there is nothing of pari ieular interest. 
Later.—Arrival of the Pacific. 
T.iie Steamship Pacific arrived at New York on 
the 21st, with Liverpool dates to the 9th inst — 
The news is without special interest. We give 
the most important items below : 
Burritt will visit Cork in a few day, to agitate 
for cheap ocean postage. 
Ail was tranquil in France. The balls at Paris 
will be suspended during Lent. 
Belgium is on the point of entering into close 
relations with Russia. 
Austrian and Russian troops are concentrating 
on the Turkish frontier, but as yet have commit¬ 
ted no act of hostility. In Montenegro the Turks 
are gaining the advantage. 
Tlie rest of Europe was quiet. 
Markets. —The arrivals of the week are pretty 
large of foreign wheat and flour ; a fair demand 
for wheat at Id to 2d advance upon the depressed 
rates of last week, for white, wheat and full prices 
for better descriptions. 
There was also an improved sale for flour, at an 
amendment of (id per sack and barrel. 
Indian Corn—on the spot little inquiry. Yes- 
terday a number of floating cargoes sold at Is per 
quarter reduction from recent prices. 
There are no fresh arrivals at calling ports, but 
a fair number are near at hand. 
Western Canal flour 25s 9d@26s 6d ; Canadian 
26 26 6a; Ohio 27.sf 
Wheat G.s 8d@7s Id for red and mixed; 7s@ 
7s 6d for white. 
Corn 32s 6d@33 for yellow ; 35@3Gs for white. 
Provisions. —Pork active, Beef in good demand 
and willingly met by sellers. Bacon inquired for. 
Laid quiet. 
While Mr. Thackeray,” remarks the Lon¬ 
don Weekly News, “is expressing gratitude for 
the honors thrust upon him at New York, an 
American writer, not less widely known, Mr. W. 
0. Bryant, is making the most modest of visits to 
London, his arrival even not having been men¬ 
tioned by any other journal than our own. When 
an English author, even such a one as Mr. Tapper, 
visits the United States, he raises a cloud of dust 
before he has been there a week, but when such 
men as Irving, Prescott, Bancroft, Cooper and 
Bryan, cross from their side of the Atlantic, the 
fact is barely chronicled in our journals, and the 
greetings awaiting them are confined to one or two 
lierary patties.” 
I a!” We understand t hat the proposition to give 
1GU acres of land to every officer a..d soldier who 
served either on land or water i n the war of 1812 , is 
gaining friends daily in both Houses of Congress. 
The friends of the measure argue that if even the 
recruits of Mexico who wherein service but a week 
before the close of the Mexican war rccoived 1G0 
acres, the volunteers of 1812 , who served three 
months, are justly entitled to the same. 
The French Navy. —No less than twenty ships 
of the line are now building in the French dock¬ 
yards, and for the greater number of them screws 
have been ordered. Id addition to these, there are 
18 frigates, and fifteen other vessels of different 
classes building, which are to be all propelled by 
screws. 
A Milk Convention, largely attended by del¬ 
egations from the chief milk producing counties 
oi New York State, was held in Westchester co. 
on the 3i inst. Resolutions were adopted hav¬ 
ing in view a more systematic management of 
the milk business, that botli producer and con¬ 
sumer may be better protected from the evils of 
adulteration, dilution, Arc. They also recom¬ 
mend that a milk inspector be appointed in the 
city. _ 
— There is considerable competition between 
the different cities on Lake Erie, in the matter of trade, 
and in their annual exhibits each one strives to outdo the 
other. Cleveland, Toledo and Sandusky are endeavoring 
to show their superiority of each other. Sandusky claims 
to have exceeded Toledo in the comparative value of the 
commerce of the two ports, by 82,381,947, but ventures 
no comparison with Cleveland. Railroads are doing much 
toward the building up of thoso thriving towns of the 
lake shore. 
— The Journal of Commerce states that a 
now steamship company has been organized to open a 
route between Now York an t Australia, via Panama. The 
capital will be §3,(100,000, with liberty to increase it to 
§4,000,000. 
— The West Jersey man says that New York 
speculators are in Burlington county, N. J , contracting 
for poultry of the “capon” breed to be delivered in May, 
at 25 ■ ents per pound. Anticipation of a throng in the 
fit- during the World’s Fair is tho reason of this exorbi¬ 
tant. price for poultry. 
Washington Matters. 
Washington, Feb. 20, 1853. 
Mr. Marcy is at Willard’s Hotel awaiting the 
arrival of President Pierce. The belief that he 
goes into the Cabinet strengthens. It is settled, 
indeed—if it can stay settled—in spite of the 
powerful and well organized o; position of the 
Dickinson men from the South, Southwest and 
West. I (' Pierce should be compelled to abandon 
him, he will appoint Dickinson or nobody from 
New York. The appointment of Marcy is bit¬ 
terly offensive to Cass. Good authority says that 
all the southern appointments depend upon con¬ 
tingencies to be considered after Air. Pierce’s ar¬ 
rival. 
The present administration will not negociate 
the treaty relative to a joint protectorate of the 
Mosquitos. 
Mr. Wi Her is to move a reconsideration of the 
vole on Mr. Soule’s amendment to the Pacific 
Railroad Bill. Mr Gwin threatens to defeat the 
Appropriation Bills until that bill has passed.— 
Lhe subject will be continued to-morrow, when 
Mr. Houston intends to speak against Mr. Cass 
and the Filiibustersif he gets an opportunity. 
Tiie Union is s. veve upon the Whig Clerks 
who sold out to Democrats, and says the pur¬ 
chasers can’t beep the offices. Prici s of Clerk¬ 
ship may interest a; plirants. A $1 200 Clerk 
an active Whig, sold out recently for $200. A 
$1,600 Cleik In Ids at $500 a ye r. The market 
is well stocked, anil sales are quick. 
Mr. Cassavant, dentist, who was whipped a 
faw days since by Mr. Wall clothier, for addres¬ 
sing a lady unintroduced, returned the compli¬ 
ment by c<>whiding Wall on the Avenue, oppo¬ 
site Brown’s, this morning. 
Inflarnmali ui has taken place in Mr. Fuller’s 
case, and his symptoms are dangerous. 
Foreign Items. 
— Manchester now sends its street sweepings 
by railway trucks into Lincolnshire, thus virtually send¬ 
ing manure to raise its meat. 
There is a report that the East India Compa¬ 
ny intend to i crease the number of Europeans 
in its army. The total of the Indian army is, at 
present, no less than 322 000 men. 
George Crisp is delivering lectures at the Po¬ 
lytechnic Institution on the subject of Ericsson’s 
new motive power. 
A disposition to strike for higher wages seems 
to be generally prevalent in England. Some of 
the shipwrights have already struck, and even 
the farm laborers of Wiltshire. 
The first fl ix from the South of Ireland was 
opened at Coik, with a good deal of ceremony, 
on Friday, the 4th inst. 
There were employed in all the ports of 
France, during 1852, (outwaids and inwards,) 
210, 778 ships, having an aggregate tonnage of 
11,734,325, and crews amounting to 1241,254 
men. 
The round of official fetes in honor of the Im¬ 
perial marriage is now pretty nearly exhausted- 
On Monday evening 7th, the great fete at the 
Luxembourg came off. It was' one of the most 
magnificent displays that has been seen in France 
for a long lime, and brought back to the recol¬ 
lection those famous days when the splendor of 
the French Court was at its height. For three 
whole days it kept the gay city of Paris in a 
whirl of excitement, and gave an astonishing im¬ 
petus to very many branches of trade. 
A letter at Lloyd’s reports that the ship Ma¬ 
ries, on her passage from Liverpool to C tldera, 
when 12 miles from the cquatoi, in Ion. 19 W., 
met with a remarkable convulsion of the sea, 
similar to what might be caused by the eruption 
of a submarine volcano. 
The waves continued boiling for about fifteen 
minute, all command over the ship being lost, 
and the wind blowing from all parts of the com¬ 
pass. Shortly after, a quantity of wreck and 
iragments of a screw steamer were passed. 
The British Interoceanio Canal Company. 
—A Company lias been advertised for construct¬ 
ing an Atlantic and Pacific Junction Canal thro’ 
tho Isthmus of E uien, at a cost of £15,01)0,000 
sterling. This route, it appears has been actual¬ 
ly surveyed, but gome superficial observations 
lateiy made have kd to the assumption that if 
the levels should prove such as they are suppos¬ 
ed to be, a canal capable of passing the largest 
vessels, without locks, might be excavated for 
the sura specicified. 
The London Times says of this : 
“ That the revenue to be derived from a Ship 
Canal between the Oceans would be such as to 
repay a very heavy expenditure is a cot elusion 
long since arrived at by those who have most 
thoroughly investigated the question, but wheth¬ 
er an outlay of £15,000 for a woik that must 
be subsidiary to the Nicaragua Canal, every 
foot of which has been the subject of the most 
precise estimates, and which c..n be built so as 
to admit large ocean steamers such as the North 
ern Light, for .less than £4,000 000 will be found 
profitable, is a point upon which there would 
seem little difficulty in forming an opinion. 
“ The shares of the proposed Company are to 
he of £100 each, with a deposit of 10s., and a 
conditional concession of the line has been ob¬ 
tained from the Government of New Grenada, 
to whom the sum of £24,000 is to be paid with¬ 
in twelve months of its date.” 
What is a Snob ?—Thackeray, in one of his 
lectures, said there were not as many snobs in 
this country as in his, but there were some. If 
the reader will follow us through bis definition 
of a “snob,” and then look round upon the com¬ 
munity, he will begin to suspect that the class is 
“large and respectable.” Said Thackeray: 
“ A Snob is that man or woman who are al¬ 
ways pretending, before the world to be some¬ 
thing betttr—especially richer or more fashion¬ 
able—than they are. It is ore who thinks his 
own position in life contemptible, and is always 
yearning and striving to force himself into one 
above, without the education or characteristics 
which belong to it; one who looks down upon, 
despises, and over-rides his inferiors, or even 
equals of his own standing, and is ever ready to 
worship, fawn upon, and flatter a rich or tilled 
man, not because he is a good man, a wise man, 
or a Christian man; but because he has the luck 
to be rich or consequential.” 
A Woman’s Influence.—A Washington cor¬ 
respondent of the New York Commercial at¬ 
tributes the loss of the New York mint bill to a 
woman. It seems that Mr. Price, of New Jer¬ 
sey, who was in favor of the bill, was stopped in 
the lobby by a lady, who held him by the button 
until after his name had been called and the 
vote declared. The result was 87 to 88. The 
vote of Mr. Price would have made a tie, and the 
Speaker was in favor of the bill. It is not stated 
whether the detention was a cunning ruse, or 
merely an act of thoughtlessness on the part of 
the lady, but the fact proves that woman have 
some influence in the legislation of the couutiy.

Rochester, Feb. 22, 1853. 3 
The past week, with fine sleighing, has been favorable to 
business and has been well improved, as our thronged 
streets bear witness. Foreign advices have been unfavor¬ 
able for our staple, Hour, though the recent news by tho 
Pacific is more favorable.

Other grains exhibit little change. 
SF.itns—In Clover there is a speculative feeling, though 
the opinion gains strength that the supply is light; $6,5<)@ 
7 is paid for medium. Large is not plenty, and sells for 
more. We notice some Timothy not very good, and find 
it selling at $2,50@2,75. Extra would command S3. 
Provisions—V ery little change lias been se e u in iliis de¬ 
partment. Supply good and in the main, prices better. 
In other markets, Wool and Hops appear (o he bouynnb 
with an upward tendency. No other matters worthy of 
note, at home or abroad.

AITiLRUR M. HAYWARD having published Wi n- 
V y ster’s Great Orations, would invite public attention

and Jefferson; the Landing of the pilgrims; the Bunker 
Hill Monument; and the Reply to llavne Tho-e pro¬ 
ductions of America’s Master Mind will live and be read 
forever. The eloquence and example of Webster is a rich 
and oxbaustless legacy, of which every America 11 can feel 
proud, and for which he should be grateful, 'i’he work is 
embellished with a fine and accurate likeness of the great 
Statesman and Oral or. It should lie in tho hands, and its 
sentiments of lofty patriotism on the hearts of all who 
boast of the American name. It is now for the first time

READ THE SUBJOINED 
Credentials of the Rural, from Reliable Sources 
With this number we add largely to tlie for¬ 
mer edition of the Rural, and may, if we have 
them to spare, circulate a few hundred copies as 
specimens. In order that those unacquainted 
with the paper may know the estimation in which 
it is held, we annex a few notices of the Press : 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker —Is already making its ar¬ 
rangements for the new year. Reader, if after taking a 
home paper, you are in want of an eastern journal, one 
which will be invaluable to yourself and family, send for 
the one the name of which heads this paragraph. We 
venture to say it is not excelled as a iiimily paper by any 
other, we care not tho name or pretensions. Its various 
departments are calculated especially for each member of 
your family. Father, mother, son, daughter, may all find 
articles appropriate to their several purstiils and stations. 
If you wish to make tiie members of your household a 
present which will increase in worth as tho year grows 
old, subscribe for the New-Yorker.— Coldicuicr Sentinel. 
It is a family paper of intrinsic merit —just such a or.e 
as families ought to patronize, when they seek for papers 
away from home. It is worth ten times more than any of 
tlie Hash papers in our cilies, which circulate so largely 
through the country. The Agricultural, Literary, Moral 
aud Religious character of the Rural, are well calculated 
to make it tlie most useful “Family Paper” we have seen. 
We thus speak, because we believe it worthy of our com¬ 
mendation, apart from all puffing considerations.—[Mont¬ 
gomery (Pa.) Ledger. 
For judicious selection, mechanical execution, and abil¬ 
ity in the preparation of original articles, we do not hesi¬ 
tate to pronounce tlie Rural New-Yorker “the best Rural, 
Family and General Newspaper,” that we have any ac¬ 
quaintance with ; and we are glad to learn that Us merits 
are so well appreciated by the public as to warrant further 
improvemen ts. and to stimulate yet higher exertions by its 
publisher in the forthcoming volume.—[Ontaiio Repos. 
A few such papers as the Rural New-Yorker will con¬ 
vince tlie people i hat all excellence is not confined to the 
“ Model Couriers,” and the “ Star Spangled Banners,” and 
the “ Waverly Magazines” of the day. The Rural is an 
admirable paper for the fireside and contains a vast amount 
of valuable information for the farmer and mechanic.'—

Moore's Rural New-Yorker.— The number before us 
closes the third volume of one of the best Agricultural 
and Family Newspapers in the world. It is conducted by 
four able editors, at the head of whom stands D. D. T. 
Moore, Esq., the enterprising publisher.—[Louisville (Ky) 
Journal. 
The Rural New-Yorker is one of the most ably edited, 
interesting and successful papers of i:s class in this coun¬ 
try, aud during a period of tho three years which it has 
been published, has acquired a very large circulation.— 
[Boston (Mass.) Journal. 
Tlie prop) ietor spares no pains to make the Rural New- 
Yorker one of the best Agricultural and Family Newspa¬ 
pers published in America, and we •certainly think it is 
second to none that we have ever seen.—I Bowmanville 
(C. W.) Messenger. 
The Rural New-Yorker lias completed its third volume. 
It is a paper that, wo delight to praise — and should be in 
tho hands of every citizen farmer. No better thing, in 
tone and various interest, meets our eye. To farmers it is 
almost iudispensibie.—[Youngsville (Pa.) Express. 
We have been almost a constant reader of (bo “Rural,”' 
since its first number, issued three years ago, and can most 
cordially recommend it to all our readeis ns one of the 
very best Family Journals published in the country.— 
[Saturday Budget. 
Moore’s Rural New- Yorker is the best Family News¬ 
paper we know of, for theWountry, as it is devoted to Ag- 
ricu lure and Education, together with Literary and Mis¬ 
cellaneous reading'. It is ably conducted and neatly printed, 
and will give satisfaction, we are confident.—[Elkhart 
(Ind.) Journal. 
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 tlie newspaper family, as 
well ns to its editor and proprietor.— Mick. Chris. Herald. 
Independent of its being the very best agricultural pa¬ 
per that has ever come under our notice, is literary mer¬ 
its are unsurpassed. It is certainly the best and most 
useful paper of the kind we have ever seen.— Fa,. Whig. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is one of our exchanges, 
which we always open with pleasure. It is free from poli¬ 
tics and part}-, and always comes to hand fiiled with a 
choice variety of well written, and well selected matter.— 
Hew York Observer. 
The Wool Grower and Stock Register, at Rochester, 
is one of the lmatest printed, as it is one of the most 
valuable, of publications. We dip into.its pages with in¬ 
terest. The New-Yorker, is also one of the best Aorien'- 
tural publications in tiie world, and deserving the wide and 
increasing patronage it receives.— Cayuga Chief.
