Arrival of the Asia. 
The Asia arrived in New York on the 5th inst. 
The following summary of he intelligence is 
from the Daily Tribune : 
Our dispatches from Europe by the Asia, though 
interesting, bring intelligence of uo event of ab¬ 
sorbing importance. 
England. —Mrs. Stowe has been received with 
a great demonstration of enthusiasm by the peo¬ 
ple of Edinburgh with the municiplal authorities 
at their head. In the House of Lords the Earl of 
Clarendon has stated that a British fleet will be 
sent to the colonial fishing grounds this summer 
to stop the encroachments of American fishermen, 
and that both Mr. Webster and Mr. Everett were 
ready to negotiate for reciprocal free trade with 
the Colonies, though no treaty was made b v them. 
Mr. Gladstone’s budget is much discussed in the 
British journals, though it has not yet been taken 
up in Parliament Its extension of the income 
tax to Ireland and to incomes of £1000, is a high¬ 
ly objectionable feature which may very possibly 
defeat it, in which case the Ministry will dissolve 
Parliament Should they do so, they will only 
prolong their owu dissolution, which may be re¬ 
garded as inevitable at no very distant period. 
Holland.— In Holland the Ministry has gone 
out of office on the question of favoring the es¬ 
tablishment of Catholic Bishops in the country ; a 
more rigid Protestant Cabinet succeeds. 
Sp AI n.—I t is said to be doubtful whether the 
new Ministers of Spain can hold their places ; the 
people are very much excited on acccount of the 
attempts to subvert the Constitution made by 
Brave Munillo aud Roncali, the last two Premiers, 
and it will not be easy to satisfy them. 
France. —In France there is nothing of mo¬ 
ment; except it be the evidence of what was 
known before, namely that the people have no 
real attachment or respect for Louis Napoleon ; 
when, riding with him to the theatre, the Em¬ 
press is grossly insulted by persons in the crowd 
along the street. 
In Germany there is nothing new but table- 
moving. 
Turkey. —We have no intelligence except that 
a riot has taken place at Constantinople, in which 
several Christians were killed, and the military 
were obliged to interfere to restore order. 
Russia.— The Russians report that they have 
suspended their extraordinary operations in the 
South-East, near the Turkish frontier,—doubt- 
ful,—and alone that they have gained something 
of a victory over the Circassians—more doubtful 
still. 
jYetos, 
Arrival of the Steamer El Dorado. 
The steamer El Dorado, from Aspinwall April 
2Sth, arrived at the quarantine on the 8th inst. 
She brings 300 passengers and $50,000 in 
freight, with California dates of April 9th. 
The outward passengers by the Illinois arrived 
at Panama in eight days and a half from New 
York. The shortest time yet made. Health at 
Aspinwall good, and business flourishing. 
Nothing further of importance from the Isth¬ 
mus. News from California uninteresting. 
Flour selling in small lots at $11 50. Large 
sales were making in provisions. Pork $37, 12)4; 
Bacon $22 ; Hams $22,60@23, 50 ; Butter, prime 
choice, 42c. Cheese 28c. Mackeral, half bbls., 
$ 8 , 00 . 
The subscription at San Francisco for the suf¬ 
ferers on board the Steamer Independence had 
been so ample that the committee had a large 
surplus on hand, and had declined offers from 
Catharine Hayes and others, of further aid. 
Legal proceedings had been commenced in the 
Supreme Court against Capt. Sampson of the In¬ 
dependence. 
Advices from Sacramento state that nearly all 
the gardens aud ranches on the river below the 
city, were more or less injured by the overflow, 
and the crops in mauy of them ruined. 
A report from Humboldt states that sixteen of 
the eighteen men who were exploring a road to 
Rogue River Yalley, have been murdered by the 
Indians. 
The steamer Oregon, recently on the rocks, was 
again running her usual trips. 
President Pierce’s inaugural was published on 
the 4th, and elicited general commendation. 
News from the mining region continues to be 
satisfactory. 
Still Later. 
The Daniel Webster arrived at New Orleans on 
the 9th inst., with California dates to the 16th of 
April. The news is brief and sad. The steamer 
Jenny Lind had exploded near San Francisco, aud 
fifty or sixty passengers were terribly scalded, ten 
of whom have since died,including seven children, 
and one whole family. 
The steamer S. S. Lewis ran ashore on her pas¬ 
sage from San Juan to San Francisco. The pas¬ 
sengers, 400 in number, all got safely ashore. 
The baggage was saved, but the stesmer and every 
thing else is a total loss. Whole amount of loss 
$ 200 , 000 . 
The markets at San Francisco show but very 
little change. 
New York Central Railroad Company —Is 
the style and title by which the consolidated roads 
from Albany to Buffalo are to be known. The 
Evening Journal says the committee on behalf of 
the several roads recommend the Directors of the 
respective Companies should meet on the 17th 
inst. to execute the agreement, and that the Stock¬ 
holders meeting to ratify the same shall be held 
on the 29th of June next, at such place as the res¬ 
pective boards should appoint. The first election 
is to be held on the 6th day of ‘July next, at the 
City Hall in Albany.

daughter and domestic, Baltimore; David B # 
Newell, Newport, R. I.; Martin Tine, New York ;

ers, unknown. 
Rochester, Lockport and Niagara Falls 
Railroad. —The Springfield Republican of May 
3d, says :—Two splendid passenger cars and one 
beautifully fitted up smoking car will leave the 
manufactory of T. W. Wason, in this city, this 
morning, for their desl ination — the Rochester, 
Lockport and Niagara Falls Railroad. More ele¬ 
gantly fiuished cars we have never seen. The 
passenger cars are decorated, upholstered, and ap¬ 
pointed throughout with something beyond mere 
neatuess and convenience—they give evidence of 
the employment of high artistic taste. The smok¬ 
ing car is a curiosity. It is furnished with a row 
of fine arm chairs on each side, which turn on a 
stationary pedestal—with a gentleman’s saloon— 
and with a standing case for keeping cigars.— 
These cars complete the number of 21 already 
finished for that road by Mr. Wason. 
A block of fine white marble, 6 feet long 
by two and a half feet wide, has just been finish¬ 
ed in Washington for the National Washington 
Monument. An open Bible in alto-relief is dis¬ 
played on the centre, with the words, in raised 
letters on each side of it, “ The General Assem¬ 
bly of the Presbyterian Church in the U. States 
of America, in session at Washington City, May, 
1852.” The Assembly made a liberal appropria¬ 
tion for this stone, the design of which was fur¬ 
nished in a resolution passed by that body. 
Q3T" The fast trains on the Hudson River and 
Central line of Railroads now run from N. York 
to Buffalo in 14 hours, including half an hour at 
Utica for dinner. At Buffalo immediate connec¬ 
tion is had with the boats for the West and with 
the Lake Shore Road. The fare on this route has 
been put down between Albany and Buffalo to 
$6, so that passeugers by boats reach Buffalo from 
New York at au expense of $6,50, and by Hud¬ 
son River Railroad at a cost of $7,50. 
Professor Sheppard, while in Charlotte, N. 
C., a few days since, was presented with a dia¬ 
mond, by Dr. Deventhorpe. That gentleman had 
lately discovered it on his estate at Pioneer Mills, 
and this is the second specimen of this precious 
gem found within the year in the country. Hith¬ 
erto no special search has been made for the dia¬ 
mond, these specimens having been discovered in 
a manner purely accidental. 
THE WOOL GROWER AND STOCK REGISTER: 
A MONTHLY JOURNAL 
Devoted to the Wool and Stock Growing Interests. 
VOLUME V, — FOR 1853-4. 
Thf. large measure of support which has been accorded 
to this Journal during the past year, encourages the Pub¬ 
lisher to make commensurate effort and expenditure to 
improve the forthcoming volume. The Fifth Volume, 
commencing with July, 1853, will, therefore, be enlarged 
by the addition of eight pages (for notices, items, adver¬ 
tisements, &c.,) and improved in Contents and Appearance. 
The design is to render the work invaluable to all growers 
of Wool, and every Stock Breeder, Grazier, Dairyman, &c. 
As the Wool Grower and Stock Register is the only 
journal in America devoted primarily to the important and 
profitable interests of Wool and Stock Growing, &c., it 
should be in the hands of . 
Every Owner of Domestic Animals, 
whether located East or West, North or South, for the 
subjects discussed in its pages are interesting in ail sections 
of the Union, the Canadas, etc. 
The ensuing volume will contain a large amount of use¬ 
ful and reliable information in regard to Wool and Stock, 
not given in any other publication. The monthly Review 
of Ihe Wool Market is made out with great care and entirely 
idependeut—designed for producers instead of speculators, 
—and consequently alone worth many times the price of 
the paper to any wool grower. In the Stock Department 
we shall describe and discuss the merits of the various 
breeds of Domestic Animals, and give Pedigrees and life¬ 
like Portraits of superior Cattle, Horses, Swine, Fowls, Sec.-, 
important information on Dairying, the Diseases of Ani¬ 
mals, Sec., —notice the principal importations and sales of 
improved stock—carefully Review Cattle Markets, &c. 
Form, Style and Terms: 
The Wool Grower and Stock Register is published 
monthly, in Octavo form, with Title Page, Index, &c., at 
the close of each volume. The Fifth Volume will be pub¬ 
lished in tlie best style, and illustrated with numerous 
valuable and appropriate Engravings—embracing Portraits 
from life, of Sheep, Cattle, Horses, Swine, Poultry, &o.— 
Designs of Farm Buildings, etc.—with proper descriptions. 
Terms — lx Advance :—Fifty Cents a year. To Clubs 
and Agents ,— Five copies, $2; Eight copies, S3,- Eleven 
copies, $4; Twenty copies, $7, and any additional number 
at the same rate. The three Jirst volumes, bound, at 40 cts. 
each,—unbound at 35 cts., or the three for $1. 
Subscribers and friends of the work, Post-Masters, and 
others, are respectfully solicited to lend a portion of influ¬ 
ence in its behalf. We trust that each and all who can 
consistently do so, will form clubs in their respective local¬ 
ities, from Maine to California. 
ZiW° Now IS THE time to Subscribe,— as ali subscrip¬ 
tions should commence with the volume. Bills of all specie 
payiug banks, and postage stamps, received at par. Money, 
properly enclosed, sit our risk,—-if addressed to

Hors.—There is still a large quantity of hops 
in the bauds of the growers, in this county and 
Madison. The prices remain nearly the same as 
quoted for the last six weeks—and there is a di¬ 
versity of opinion as to the probability of aDy 
material advance. If the season proves favorable, 
there will be more hops raised this year than any 
former one .—Cooperstown Journal.

Rochester, May 11,1853. j 
The transactions of the week just passed, have been of 
a limited character. The best feeling lias prevailed, but 
the little produce offering prevents any animation in the 
market. Farmers are unusually busy, the backward spring 
having kept them from eariler completing the usual sea¬ 
sonable labor. 
Flour—A t this season transactions are Jight, confined 
mostly to home demand. Sales are within the range of 
our quotations. 
Grain—A small quantity of wheat only is offering.— 
Sales of the week have been very light. The demand for 
city grinding is active, which leads to paying quite as good 
prices as the state of the market will warrant. All good 
samples readily command S1,12J£, and in some cases 81,15 
lias been paid. Corn is in good request at 58@60c. for 
choice yellow. Oats are very scarce, and we learn 4 to lias 
been paid in the street, which is nearly as high as N. York 
quotations. In other grains a general quiet prevails. 
Seeds—T he season for Clover and Timothy is about 
over, and seldom has the stoek been used up as closely. 
Vegetables—A pples are getting near “ out of season” 
unless one is fortunate enough to stumble upon some 
Roxbury Russets, Northern Spys, or other long keeping 
varieties. Potatoes are a drug. All the common kinds 
can hardly find sale, while White Mercers, Pink Eyes and 
other choice varieties, are current at 25@31c. Irish Cups 
and Wild Mexican, for seed, sell at ©1@2 per bushel. 
Market Supplies.—Beef Cattle—T he supply is very- 
limited and market-men have difficutly in keeping up a 
supply. We saw some nice quarters of a good wellfatten- 
ed ox, which the butchers assured us cost §8 per ewt. 
Pork—O f Pork the market is nearly bare, except those 
killed by the butchers. If farmers have some fat shoats, 
now is the time to market them. They sell at $7@7,50. 
Veal Calves—T he supply is fair, and those of good 
quality command $3,50, 4, 5(797,50. 
Mutton Carcasses, are very scarce. Just at this season 
farmers would do well to provide a supply of this deli¬ 
cious meat. 
Poultry is scarce and high as will he seen by quotations. 
Fish—F resh Fish are abundant and cheap. 
Provisions—P ork is in some demand, and sales are made 
at full quotations. Ham sells at 10@llc.; Shoulders 8@9. 
Butter, owing to the cold weather is not very plenty; best 
samples command 13@15e. in the street. Eggs 10c. 
Hay—T he supply at market was moderate. Sales at our 
rates as per quality. 
In other departments the market presents no great ac¬ 
tivity; any change in prices will be indicated by the table 
annexed.

Mexican Wild Potatoes. 
Editor Rural :—Please say to your subscribers that the 
crop of Mexican Wild Potatoes is all sold, with the excep¬ 
tion of what we have reserved for planting. This will save 
them the risk of sending money to us by mail and save us 
the trouble of returning it. 
Also, please caution them of whom they buy potatoes, 
purporting to be the “ Mexican Wild ” The White Mer¬ 
cers have been offered, even in the village of Lyons, as the 
Mexican ; and the farmer said he obtained his seed of the 
Shakers. In another village the Cow-horn have been sold 
for Mexican Wild, and in another place, a large blue pota¬ 
to has been offered as the genuine Mexican.

Imported Horse, ‘‘Consternation.” 
^ THIS thoroughbred horse has been so often 
exhibited at the Fairs of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, and always without a 
rival, that it is unnecessary either to describe 
or praise him. Six or seven of his colts, of various ages, 
were shown with him at Ucica last fall. Two of them re¬ 
ceived first premiums, and all of them were greatly admir¬ 
ed. Many of them, now four and five years old, are own¬ 
ed in Oneida county. Any person may be convinced of 
their great superiority by inquiring of almost any farmer 
or horseman in the towns of Rome, Lee, or Western. His 
colts and fillies are already in demand for breeding. Seve¬ 
ral have been sold during the past winter, at handsome 
prices, to go out of the State. 
His pedigree will be found complete in Derby & Miller’s 
edition of Youatt, and is confirmed in every particular by 
breeders’ a certificates and copies of the English Racing 
Calendar, and English Stud Book, now in possession of 
the subscriber. 
He will stand the coming season at the farm of the sub¬ 
scriber, two miles west of Syracuse and adjoining the vil¬ 
lage of Geddes. 
Terms.—$10 for the season, and $15 to insure; the mo¬ 
ney to be paid in advance in all eases. When a mare is 
insured and left at the farm of the subscriber, or regular¬ 
ly returned to the horse until the groom is satisfied she is 
in foal, a receipt will be given promising to refund the 
money if the mare was not got in foal. Pasturage fur¬ 
nished at three shillings per week. Mares to be at the risk 
of owners in all respects. J. B. BURNETT,

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 
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 combinatioifof 
Reaper and Mower, it comes to the farmer with double 
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; and 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 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 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 cut from one inch to two 
feet from the ground.' All 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 hi 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. Harmon 
Wheatland. Monroe Co., N. Y. 
The machine is for sale by D. R. Barton, Rochester.
