Three Arrivals from Europe. 
Sinc® our last issue three steamers have arrived 
from Europe — the Washington aud the Niagara, 
on the 4th — and the Baltic on the 7th, the latter 
bringing Loudon and Liverpool dates to the 27th 
July. 
There is no news of special importance. Bread- 
stuffs are reported firm, and advancing, by each 
arrival. A private letter by the Niagara, dated 
Liverpool, July 23, says:—“ Breadstuffs have con¬ 
tinued very firm and active throughout the week* 
and flour and wheat have advanced. We quote 
Western Canal flour at 27s. 6d.; and Ohio at 23s. 
6d. Yellow and White Corn 31s. Gd. Lard 
quiet at 53s.” 
We subjoin the most important items by the 
Baltic, as received by Telegraph : 
The Baltic had 177 passengers. She was 
obliged to decline a large quantity of freight. 
The Africa arrived out on the *24th ult., in the 
morning. 
The ship Isle, of New York, for Liverpool, was 
burned at sea July 7th. Capt. Speech and crew 
were saved by the ship Ebeuezer, of Liverpool. 
3’he cause of the fire was spontaneous combustion. 
The Turkish difficulty was considered settled, 
although the Czar’s acceptance of the proposals is 
not announced. His assent is daily expected. 
Until received nothing definite can be known. 
Crops in Great Britain on the whole, are good. 
In Ireland they are satisfactory. No potatoe rot. 
From France there is no news. A correspond¬ 
ent says the Opening of the French ports for the 
import of Breadstuffs is more to quiet anxiety 
than any fear of scarcity. 
Christina, of Spain, is in Paris, intriguing to 
marry her daughter to Prince Napoleon, they say. 
The grape disease is feared in Portugal. 
It is reported that England is negotiating with 
Denmark to obtain the command of the entrance 
of the Baltic, if war arises with Russia. 
It is feared that breadstuff's will be short in Italy. 
It is rumored in Constantinople that the United 
States are negotiating for the purchase of the port 
of Marmorizza. 
The Russians are quiet in the principalities. 
The Costa affair remains unchanged. 
The St, Louis had left Smyrna, and two Aus¬ 
trian frigates had arrived there. 
At the Cape of Good Hope, June 11, all was 
quiet, 
Wednesday morning. July 27th.—Mails at Liv¬ 
erpool bring nothing noticeable. 
Among the passengers by the Baltic are Bishop 
McSloane, T. Butler King, Gen. Cooper, and M. 
Jutien and family. 
The latest London dates are July 27. The In¬ 
dia mail has arrived at Trieste. Datesfrom Hong 
Kong June 7, Calcutta 1G, Bombay June 20. 
The empire of China is divided, and Nankin is 
independent of the Tartar dynasty. There is great 
anxiety at Canton and fear of the rising. 
Trade dull in India. From Burmah the intelli¬ 
gence is that no advance is to be made on Ava. 
'The screw steamer Lawston was lost on her 
passage from Shanghai to Hong Kong. The crew 
and passengers were saved. 
Paris, July 2G.—News of the crops in thesouth 
are favorable, particularly corn, figs and olives.— 
Same in Normady. Funds are steady.

discovered. Forty-seven persons, and some of 
them students, have been arrested. 
Difficulties between Austria and Switzerland 
were nearly settled. 
The vanguard of the Russians entered Bucharest 
on the 25tli.

day (July 2G) firm at last week’s prices. Sales 
of Monday 10,000 and Tuesday 3,000 bales.

wet and bad, and wheat very active and firm at 
Friday’s rates; flour 6d.@ls. higher. In Tues¬ 
day’s report they state the weather had become 
fine, and that their quotations of Monday were 
fully sustained. Corn was held with increased 
firmness. 
Provisions.— More doing in beef and pork at 
easier rates. Stock extensive. Sides and should¬ 
ers unchanged. Cheese brisk at full rates. Lard 
Is. dearer, with large sales. Tallow quiet.

Hairless Horse. —We saw on Friday last, 
mare, with a colt by her side, owned by Mr. How' 
of Rutland, which was entirely without hair.- 
She was seven years old, and shed her hair tl: 
past spring, just before foaling. Her color wi 
sorrel, but now her skin was of a dark brown, n 
sembling a rat. She appeared perfectly health; 
and at the time she shed her coat, the owner ii 
formed us she was so. She was purchased by 
dealer from New York, (Col. Whidding,) and v 
should not be surprised to hear of her figurir 
among the curiosities at the World’s Fair.—117 
tertown Journal. 
Tue Senatorial Convert. —An announcemen 
that an American Senator, sojourning in Ronn 
has been received as a conveit into the Roma 
Church, and the subsequent surmise that thi 
means Senator Douglass, is thought by a Nei 
York journal to bean error, and that the Hoc 
Joseph R. Chandler, of Philadelphia, a we 
known Catholic, now in Europe, must have bee 
mistaken for a senator. 
State Idiot Asylum. —The Albany Knicker¬ 
bocker says the Committee appointed to select a 
site for this Institution, of which John C. Spencer, 
is Chairman, have purchased four acres of land for 
that purpose on the Troy road, at $1,500 per 
acre. The same land was sold one year ago, for 
$500, and the Knickerbocker says that far pre¬ 
ferable and more healthy sites were offered the 
Committee at one-third the amount paid. 
Iowa.— An exchange paper says the whole in¬ 
terior of the State of Iowa is full of settlers. A 
hundred emigrants were met in one day recently, 
by a traveller. $34,250 were received at the 
land office, in about six weeks, over and above all 
lands entered with warrants, which will reach a 
very large amount The above entries were all 
by actual settlers.

found are of inferior value. 
New Spring at Ballston.— The people of 
Ballston Spa are rejoicing over the discovery of a 
new Spring of excellent mineral water. If it

ga, Ballston might once more prep ire for receiv¬ 
ing a share of the visitors who throng Saratoga. 
The Protestant Committee at Quebec has 
given $400 to lawyers there, to watch the course 
taken iu prosecuting the Chalmers’church rioters. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, Aug. 10, 1853. j 
There is a continued want of activity in the market.— 
Very little produce of any kind is offering, and quotations 
can hardly be any thing more than nominal. Judging 
from the amount brought forward we should think far¬ 
mers were not threshing very freely. 
The receipts by Genesee Valley Canal are cut off for a 
few days, by the failure of an aqueduct at Scottsville. 
Flour —There has been considerable firmness in the 
market. Sales are made to the trade of best county Gene¬ 
see at ®5,37.j@5,5U. Some brands extra command fifty 
cents more. 
Wheat— The demand for milling is not brisk in conse¬ 
quence of lack of water. Street parcels are readily taken 
at $l,18@l,19,and for cargo pure white Genesee probably 
$I,20@1,22 would be paid. This is but conjecture,based 
upon the small supply, and street price. Other grains are 
in small supply, prices fluctuating according to demand. 
Butter— There is an increasing demand for butter, the 
dry weather having shortened the supply. Prime sells at 
15@16 cents. Eggs are also in demand at 11@12. 
In otiier marketable commodities little trade, and prices 
nominal.

Mr. W. O. Hickok : Dear Sir ,—I purchased one of 
your improved cider mills at the State Fair at Lancaster, 
Pa., last year. Since then I have tested it effectually, and 
muse say it surpasses any machine, for the purpose it is 
intended for, that 1 have ever seen, and I have examined 
a good many, before purchasing and since. Its construc¬ 
tion being simple, it never gets out of order. It supasses 
my most sanguine expectation. Could I not procure an¬ 
other one, I would not part with mine for four times the 
price of them, as 1 know its value. 
_ Yours truly, CHAS. M. CLARK. 
Decidedly the best and Cheapest Poultry Book in the Union. 
NOW READY, 
MINER’S DOMESTIC POULTRY ROOK. 
O RDERS received for over Two Thousand copies of 
this book in advance of its publication, which is un¬ 
precedented in the sale of any work ever issued ou this 
subject. 
This is an entirely new work, and one of the most valu¬ 
able books for practical uses that has ever been publish¬ 
ed. In preparing it, the main object was to study the 
actual wants of the Fowl-breeder, more than their fancy 
notions, besides containing full directions for Breeding, 
Raising, and keeping the several kinds that come under 
consideration; when and how originated; a large number 
of cuts from iife, of some of the best breeds in the coun¬ 
try ; prices at which they are selling in the market; to¬ 
gether with such other matter as- was thought necessary 
The varieties at present are so great, that a book publish¬ 
ed five years ago, is now behind the age. This work con¬ 
tains a vast amount of new and useful matter, and in the 
number of its illustrations, great amount of practical mat¬ 
ter, and its fine typographical execution, is ahead of any 
oilier work ou Poultry ever published. The book contains 
Over One Hundred and Thirty Fine Portraits! 
of the most perfect specimens of newly imported and na¬ 
tive breeds of fowls, and other cuts which have cost from 
$700 to $800,— being double the number found in any 
similar hook, while tiie price is only one half as much.— 
The names of all the new and imported breeds are given, 
so that any person being at all interested in them, can here 
find their full description, origin, Sec., &c. Recollect 
ONLY FIFTY CENTS, 
for the most complete hook on Poultry ever published. 
Dr. J. C. Bennett, of Fort des Moines, Iowa, formerly of 
Great Falls, N. H., author of “A Poultry Book,” and one 
of the most extensive breeders of Poultry in this country, 
to whom the proof sheets were shown, writes: 
“ No book ever published will compare with yours, as to 
splendid and lift-like engravings, and it will unquestion¬ 
ably be the best hook published on the subject, and will 
sell in preference to any other work 11 will receive my 
untiring energy for its sale all over the United States, and 
I have no doubt, its sale will reach 50,000 copies the first 
year.” 
As it is expected this work will have a very extensive 
sale, it will be an object for book dealers, pedlers, agents, 
and others, to make early application. 
The book is handsomely printed, on good paper, 12 
mo. size, contains 256 pages, and sold at tiie low price of 
50 cents paper, and 75 cents in full cloth binding. Those 
wanting books sent to their address will send in their or¬ 
ders early.

N. Y. State Agricultural College. 
This Institution was chartered by the Legisla¬ 
ture of the State of New l r ork, for the purpose of pre¬ 
senting to Agriculturists the means for acquiring a 
knowledge of the Arts and Sciences appropriate to their 
vocation ; to prepare Students for practical, active labor, 
by training the mind in a system which shall inculcate an 
intimate acquaintance with the sciences essential to agri¬ 
cultural success. 
To insure the development of principles aud their ap¬ 
plication to the soil, tlie Legislature has required the pur¬ 
chase of not less than three hundred acres of land. 
The Trustees, having accepted the trust confided to 
them by the Legislature, organized the State Agricultural 
College, by the following appointments: 
JOHN DliLAFIELD, President of the College. 
Hon. JOHN A. KING, Ch’n of the Board of Trustees. 
JOEL VV. BACON, Secretary. 
N. B. KIDDER, Treasurer. 
At a meeting of the Board, on the 4th of June, a Re¬ 
port was presented by B. P. Johnson, from a Special 
Committee, on the Location of the College, declaring 
“that after an examination of the Oaklands Farm in Sen¬ 
eca County, they are entirely satisfied that the price asked 
for it, is its fair value in the market, for farming purpose?; 
that it is, by previous preparation, hy position and variety 
of soil, in every respect adapted to the objects of tiie Insti¬ 
tution ; that the title is perfect, and recommend that the 
chain of title be entered at large on the minutes of the 
Board,” Sec. This farm is situated midway between 
the market towns of Waterloo and Geneva, and in full 
view of the Seneca Lake, and overlooking the vil.age of 
Geneva; elevated about 125 feet above the lake, it is free 
from causes disturbing health; its soil varies from a strong 
clay to a sandy loam, presenting varieties sufficient for 
testing by experiment every doubtful question in relation 
to soils, and to exhibit the most approved system of culti¬ 
vation. 
The Trustees are prepared to receive from Farmers and 
friends of agriculture, proposals for the Capital Stock of 
the Institution, which will be distributed in shares of fifty 
dollars each, payable 
ID per cent on Subscribing.
