In Eastern affairs no change since the announce¬ 
ment already received, that the Forte accepted 
without modification the note prepared b) the 
four powers, and already acceded to by the Czar. 
A despatch from Jassy of the 3d, says a Divan 
was convoked, aud solicited the Hospodars to re¬ 
main, the Czar having given them permission to 
go to Constantinople, or remain at home unmo¬ 
lested. 
A correspondent says that Rescind Pacha had 
informed Austria that any occupation of Servia 
by Austrian troops would be regarded as a de¬ 
claration of war. 
England. —The long promised debate on Tur¬ 
kish affairs has taken place in Parliament, which 
was to be prorogued on the 20th. 
The Select Committee had published their re¬ 
port ou the slave trade treaty. It is a very long 
and important document. The principal stress 
is on the Cuban slave trade. The report does not 
say what is to be done; but adds, “ from the abuse 
ot the American flag trading to Havana, a more 
coi dial .co-operation on the part of the United 
States would materially assist the effort to abol¬ 
ish the trade in that quarter.” 
Lieut. Maury lectured in London- on the 16th

Later From California. 
The Northern Light arrived at New York, on 
Wednesday last, witu California dates to August 
1st, an , $1,121,UOO in specie. She connected at 
San Juan with the steamer Cortes, which brought 
down $1,303,000 in specie. The steamer North¬ 
erner, tium Panama, also left San Francisco on the 
1st lust., with $1,154,000 in gold dust. 
During the fortnight the most prominent local 
eveut is the attempted assasinattou of Deputy 
Sheriff John A. Freauor, by a squatter named Me* 
Garth.)'. Mr. F.’s wound was not dangerous, and 
he wdl be about in a few days. Squatting upon 
private and public property has been carried on 
to unparalleled extent. 
Throughout the State the nominations of the 
different parties are beiug made, aud the political 
war waxes warm in the party newspapers. 
The permanent brick improvements iu San 
Francisco, have increased iu an unprecedented 
manner. The building of the U. S. Marine Hos¬ 
pital is rapidly progressing. 
A great many aitesiau wells are being sunk in 
San Fianciseo; and in many of the interior 
towns water works are in course of erection, to 
supply those places with fresh water. 
i he store siif) Alaiico was burnt in San Fran¬ 
cisco hai bor on the 24th of J uly, together with her 
cargo, valued at $ll),Uu0. 
The brig Pilgrim, from Santa Cruz for San 
Francisco, was driven ashore near Santa Barbara, 
od the 1st of July, aud went to pieces. 
David Porter, a lawyer from Virginia, was mur¬ 
dered near the town oi Los Angelos. A man was 
hung near Jackson, in Calveras county, by the 
people, for horse-stealing. 
A sixteen pound lump of gold was recently 
taken out of ihe river near Moquelumne Hill. 
Joaquin, the bandit, has been captured and be¬ 
headed, and all his gang either taken or dispersed. 
The rust is injuring the wheat crop. Bariev, 
corn and potatoes promise a large yield. 
The present season is highly favorable to min- 
iug operations in all the gold districts. The 
miners seem to be generally fortunate in possess¬ 
ing valuable claims, which are yielding abundant¬ 
ly by the use of improved means for extracting 
the metal. From present appearances, the total 
production ot gold tor the six months commenc¬ 
ing with the first of June, will be larger than 
during any similar period since the opening of the 
mines. This result will be effected, too, at larger 
profits to the miners engaged than heretofore. 
A decision was rendered in the Supreme Court 
a few days since, that will attract attention, and 
create some surprise in the Atlautic States. The 
Court decided that the mines of gold and other 
precious metals of California, are the exclusive 
property of the State : that the United States has 
no interest iu them, and cannot exercise any juris¬ 
diction over them. Thedecision does not include 
the lands containing the minerals, but only the 
minerals themselves. 
The discovery of rich placers of gold at Santa 
Cruz, it is supposed will have an important bear¬ 
ing upon the affairs of the State. Santa Cruz is 
situ.ued on the north side of Monterey Bay, and 
the liver on which the gold is dug runs through 
the town. 
Oregon dates are to July 25th. The mines in 
the vicinity of that territory are not doing well, 
owing to the -scarcity of water. The weather has 
been very warm. The crops promise well. 
he merchants of Mercersburg, Franklin 
ount.y, Pa., have signed a pledge not to sell ar- 
etit spirits after the present stock is disposed of. 
China and the Japan Expedition. 
The despatches received at the Navy Depart¬ 
ment from Commodore Perry, at Shanghai, are 
dated May 16. He expected to sail immediately 
for Japan, leaving one vessel of his squadron be¬ 
hind, for the use of the United States Minister.— 
He has beard from Japan, that the Japanese are 
preparing to receive him through the Dutch offi¬ 
cials, in a friendly manner, although they are in¬ 
creasing and strengthening their fortifications on 
the coast. 
The information received here tends to confirm 
the opinion that several distinct revolutions, in¬ 
dependent of each other, are progressing in China, 
and that they are likely to result in a division of 
the Empire into numerous states. AH the move¬ 
ments, however, are under Christian influence. 
Ringgold’s North Pacific Exploring Squadron 
was beard from at Madeira, July 18. All well.— 
They are about sailing for Table Bay, Cape of 
Good Hope. 
Despatches are also received from Commodore 
Shubriok and the Fishing Ground Squadron.— 
Still all quiet. No new developments. 
Heavy Trade in Peaches. —One of the princi¬ 
pal peach dealers estimates the daily arrival of 
peaches in this market at 60,009 baskets, or even 
more ! The peach trade has been maintained to 
this extent for the last five days, but must soon de¬ 
cline. Nine steamers a day come in loaded down 
with from 6,000 to 10,000 baskets. A few deal¬ 
ers charter boats exclusively for their business.— 
Two run to Amboy, five to Washington, N. J., 
and two to Brunswick. They arrive between 12 
and 2 o’clock in the morning ; and at the dead of 
night, when the city is wrapt in slumber, the 
wharves of the peach steamers present scenes of 
the greatest activity, confusion and excitement.— 
Probably twice as many peaches will be brought 
to market this season as were last, though not as 
many as during the famous season three years 
ago, when the fruit was generally not worth more 
than the baskets it filled. Prices take a wide 
range. From two to six shillings is a common 
price, though baskets of very choice fruit were sold 
yesterday for five dollars.—iV. V Journal of Com. 
e*)ce.

A RARE CHANCE. 
P ERSONS wishing to add an agreeable and lucrative 
business, to the pleasure of traveling can have the op¬ 
portunity, by purchasing the Patent right for a State, for 
Mummas Premium. Corn Shelter and Vegetable Grinder. 
This Slieller is certainly better adapted to the wants of the 
fatmer than any other, as it is simple, durable and easy to 
work with one band, yet it lias the advantage of two 
cranks, or horse power. It shells large and small ears 
perfectly clean at the same moment, and separates the 
cob. It is fed moderately by the shovel, or thrown pro¬ 
miscuously in by hand, and is capable ot shelling frum 30 
to 40 bushels per hour. It is also adapted to grinding 
vegetables for feed for stock. 
Extensive sales have been, and are being made for the 
right for this slieller, in different States. The Proprietor 
will wholesale ilie right for one or mure States, at a rate 
the purchaser can make large prvfits, with proper exer¬ 
tion. His terms will be easy, so that the buyer can soon 
realize the most of his money from the proceeds of sales.

MLMMA’S PATENT CORN 'SHfELLEK. 
riMIIS Slieller is pronounced by competent judges, to be 
superior to all others, as it is quite simple and dura- 
b.ein its construction, and shells the ear perfectly clean 
from end to end, with great rapidity and ease. It sepa¬ 
rates the cob from the corn, which is a very great advan¬ 
tage, and is adapted to either hand or horse power, and 
capable of shelling from 3t> to 40 bushels per hour. It has 
shelled a bushel iu a minute, by hand power. It runs as 
light, with one man to turn, as the common hand shelters. 
From the peculiar construction of the cylinder and springs, 
it will shell large and small ears perfectly clean at the 
same moment, of either new or old corn, an advantage not 
possessed by the multitude of sliellers in general use. 
This machine lias met with the universal approbation 
of all classes of men wherever introduced. It was award¬ 
ed the First Premium, a heavy SILVER MEDAL, nt the 
groat Fair of the Maryland institute, held in Baltimore, 
October, 1850. 
It also received the highest premium which was award¬ 
ed at the great Agricultural State Fair of Pennsylvania, 
held at Harrisburg. October, 1851. Also, at the State Fair 
of Kentucky, in 1852. 
From the great number of recommendations iu its favor, 
we have room only for the following:

Washington City, March 3,1851. 
I take pleasure in certifying that I have on various oc¬ 
casions, seen in operation Mr. J. Mumma’s Patent Corn 
Slieller, and lliar it appeared to me to shell much faster, 
and do rhe work cleaner and better than any machine of 
which I have any knowledge. JESSE C. DICKEY. 
From J. W. Davies, Corn Merchant. 
Baltimore, November 5, 1850. 
Mr. E. Robinson —Sir : Having seen in operation Mr. J. 
Mumma’s Patent Corn Shelter, I take pleasure in stating, 
that I consider it a superior slieller to any other now in 
use. as it leaves the com unbroken, and consequently, more 
suitable for shipping or market. J. W. DAVIES. 
From several Gentlemen, Practical Farmers of Pennsyl¬ 
vania, who have the machine in use. 
We, the undersigned,after using Mumma’s Patent Corn 
Slieller. can recommend it to the farmiug community as 
having been found equal in every respect to what it is rep¬ 
resented to be. It is. indeed, a labor-saving invention, and 
therefore of incalculable benefit to those who may have 
use for such machines.

ATKINS’ SELF-BAKING REAPER. 
nplIIS MACHINE is now offered to the public and war- 
X ranted to be a good Self-Raking Reaper. It is also 
believed to be a good mower, but not yet having been suf¬ 
ficiently tested in grass (though it soon will be) it is not 
warranted to be equal to a machine made mainly or wholly 
to mow. 
The raking apparatus is of novel and very simple con¬ 
struction, and not liable to derangement, and everyfarmer 
who has seen it in the harvest Held, says it performs the 
raking better than a man can possibly do it. 
Price of machines at Clxcago, $175, of which, $75 must 
be paid on giving the order, $50 upon successful trial, and 
$50 in note payable 1st Dec. 
The machines are most thoroughly built and warranted.

N. Y. State Agricultural College. 
Tins Institution was chartered by tbe Legisla¬ 
ture of the State of New York, for the purpose of pre¬ 
senting to Agriculturists the means for acquiring a 
knowledge of the Arts and Sciences appiopriate to their 
vocation ; to prepare Students for practical, active labor, 
by training the mind ii: 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, the Legislature has required the pur¬ 
chase of not less thnn 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 DELAF1ELD, President of the College. 
Hon. JOHN A. KING, Ch’n of the Board of Trustees. 
JOEL W. 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 rhe 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 purposes; 
that it is, by previous preparation, by position und variety 
of soil, in every respect adapted to the objects of the Insti¬ 
tution; that the title is perfect, and recommend that the 
chain of title be entered at large on the minutes of the 
Board,” &c. This farm is situated midway between 
the market towns of Waterloo and Geneva, and in full 
view of the Seneca Lake, and overlooking the village 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 iu shares of fifty 
dollars each, payable 
10 per cent on Subscribing.

tion, may find its support widely diffused throughout the

needful information in relation to the ordinances, rules 
and regulations of the College, and the courses of instruc¬

GARDEN OR FIRE ENGINE. 
T HE Subscribers manufacture, and furnish to order, 
a Garden or Fire Engine, which for its power, capaci¬ 
ty and usefulness cannot be surpassed. From the size of 
the Air Chamber, sufficient power is obtained to enable 
one man to throw a steady stream of wa'er to the height 
of 50 feet perpendicularly, thereby r< ndering it a desira¬ 
ble article as a protection against fire, for washing win¬ 
dows of second and third stories of bufferings, carriages, 
&c. With our newly invented Water Diffuser, as a Gar¬ 
den Engine it defies competition : the Diffuser is a perfect 
and simple article, (which we intend to get patented,) and 
its superiority over the Rose Sprinkler, is that it will throw 
four times the quantity of water a much greater distance, 
and spread it perfectly even, with less power applied. 
N B.—A Garden Engine with a Diffuser of the above 
description, used in orchards and gardens, to throw soap¬ 
suds on the young trees, will destroy.many kinds of ver¬ 
min likely to destroy the fruit, and he an invaluable addi¬ 
tion to the implements of the nurseryman and horticul¬ 
turist. COWING & CO.

l SEMI-MONTHLY PAPER, expressly for children. 
It aims to attract their attention by simplicity and 
beauty of style, and to infuse into the young mind appro¬ 
priate sentiments of piety and love for parents—sympathy 
for human suffering, and an abiding hatred of oppression 
in alj its forms. It ought to be circulated over the entire 
Union, for this last reason. There is much at stake in 
the question of freedom, and but little said or done to ef¬ 
fect favorably the youthful mind. Within the State of N. 
York, tiie postage is 6 cents per year, paid at the office 
where it is received In all other States, 12 cents yearly. 
In packages of 24 or more the postage, if pre paid at the 
office of publication, is about 4 cts on each paper. 
Price per year—single copies, 25c.; Five to one address,
