Arrival of the Franklin. 
Trf k steamship Franklin reached New York at 
7 o’clock on Wednesday morning, 14th inst., with 
London dates to Sept. 1st. 
The Niagara arrived out on the 23th, and the 
Arctic on the 30th ult. 
The Franklin brings 1 GO passengers—among 
them Messrs. Lanitz and Greenougli, sculptors. 
The U. S. brig Dolphin put into Southampton 
to refit, on the 26t,h ult. 
The French Government says officially that the 
fears which existed respecting the harvest are 
groundless, as the crop of grain is of average 
amount and of excellent quality. 
Accounts from Constantinople of the 19th, state 
that the Sultan had adpoted the V ienua route 
without material alteration. 
A courier had arrived at Vienna from Constan¬ 
tinople who states that the Sultan will send an 
ambassador to St. Petersburgh simultaneously 
with the evacuation of the Principalities. 
Accounts from Buckhardt state that the Rus¬ 
sians will evacuate the Principalities in Sept, on 
which the fleets of England and France would re¬ 
turn to Malta and Toulon. 
The cholera was spreading in the north of Eu¬ 
rope. The overland India and China mails arriv¬ 
ed in London on the 29th. 
At the London corn market on the 29th and 
31$t, considerable business was done. Flour firm 
at 30s. Gd@31s. 
Money market had sudden^’ become tighter. 
Capitalists were drawing in their loans, and a 
further rise in interest was expected. Consols 
Liverpool, Aug. 31.—Cotton rather firmer.— 
Sales 7(JO to 800 bales this day. The following 
is from Richardson’s Circular, of Aug. 29 : 
On the evening of our last market day, Friday, 
a good deal of rain fell, which circumstance to¬ 
gether w.th the continued demand for France, 
caused a very active inquiry in wheat and flour 
at ld@2d. advance on the former and Is. per bbl. 
on the latter on the rates current the day previ¬ 
ous. In the interim, having become more settled 
the activity of Saturdaj', was not general to-day, 
but holders were firm at extreme rates, and where 
sales were effected, such prices were obtained. 
Tuesday, Aug. 30th, we had a full attendance 
at the morning’s market. The speculative feeling 
which existed since our last noted above, rather 
subsided to-day, and the trade generally operated 
with great caution. However, a fair demand was 
experienced for wheat at the improvement men¬ 
tioned above. Flour met with only a moderate 
consumptive demand, large purchasers not being 
willing to follow up the large advance required. 
Western canal 29s. 6d@30s. 6d. 
Indian corn in fair request at the cxtremerates. 
Yellow, of good quality held at 32s@33s. 6d. per 
quarter. No good white on the market. 
The following is from the Circular of Jas. Mc¬ 
Henry, dated Liverpool, 30th Aug.:—Lard scarce, 
but not dearer. Beef and pork continue to meet 
a moderate request. Bacon attracts more gene¬ 
ral attention. Its present cheapness forces con¬ 
sumption. Shoulders saleable at the advance.— 
Cheese much wanted. 
The death of Lt. Gen. Sir Charles Jas. Napier, 
the conqueror of Seinde, is announced. It occur¬ 
red near Portsmouth on the 30th Aug. 
Paris, Aug. 31—P. M.—An extraordinary rise 
in the Odessa grain market. The stores were in¬ 
adequate to contain the arrivals, and depots hail 
been established in the open air. 
The United States Frigate Cumberland had ar¬ 
rived at Marseilles. 
Arrival of the Niagara. 
The steamer Niagara, with Liverpool dates to 
the 3d inst., three days later than per Franklin, 
arrived at Halifax on the 14th. 
Liverpool corn market has undergone no change 
during the week. The prices of last week are 
generally reported by the leading brokers. 
Cotton—Sales of the week 30,000 bales. 
Breadstuffs—Market continues very feverish 
and "excited and settled quotations cannot be 
given. 
Brown, Shipley & Co., quote white wheat 8s 8d, 
"Western canal flour 29s fid, Philadelphia, Balti¬ 
more and Ohio, 30s fid. 
Indian corn less active at advanced prices. 
Provisions generally unchanged. 
The weather at the close of the week was less 
favorable for agricultural purposes. 
The latest reports from the East are less favor¬ 
able for the speedy adjustment of the difficulties 
between Turkey and Russia. 
Arrival of the Arctic. 
The steamer Arctic, from Liverpool, Sept., 7th, 
at noon, (bringing news four days later than per 
Niagara,) arrived at her dock in New York, on 
Sunday morning, the 18th. 
She brings over 200 passengers, among whom 
are Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Mr. and Mrs. 
Chas. Beecher. 
The Africa arrived out on the 4th. 
Turkish affairs are unchanged, and nothing is 
yet known of the Czar’s intention of accepting 
the amended note. 
Turkey had sent to the powers an explanatory 
manifesto. 
It was reported that France had imformed the 
Sultan that any further steps taken are at his own 
peril; but, on the whole, prospects are no worse 
than at last advices. 
Nothing important from Great Britain. The 
harvest was progressing favorably. 
The French Government was using every 
means to keep down the prices of the grain mar¬ 
ket, and the prices were quoted lower. 
The Prussian Government has concluded notto 
interfere with the prices of grain in Prussia. 
There was an immense accumulation of corn at 
Odessa, awaiting shipment. 
Austria. —Lieut. Schwarz, notorious in the 
Koszta affair, is promoted. 
Nothing else notable. 
Liverpool Markets. —Cotton market very dull, 
favoring buyers. Salesfor three days 14,000 bales. 
Breadstuffs. —Owing to fine weather and the 
decline in France causing re-sales on French or¬ 
ders, prices were irregular causing a decline of 4d 
on wheat and Is on flour since the Niagara sailed. 
Indian corn, a moderate demand and little varia¬ 
tion in prices. 
Provisions. —Beef and pork quiet. Lard Is 
lower. Consols declined, closing on Tuesday at 
Gold.— Taking the value of the cube yard of 
gold at $10,000,000, which it is in round num¬ 
bers, all the gold in the world at this estimate, 
might, if melted into ingots, be contained in a 
cellar 24 feet square, by 16 feet high. All the 
boasted wealth already obtaiued from California 
and Australia would go into an iron safe nine feet 
high. 
Review of the Corn Trade. 
[From the Mark-lane Express.] 
The weather was tolerably fine during the first 
three days of last week, of which farmers took 
advantage to cart grain as fast as possible, and 
some quantity was carried rather hurriedly. Since 
then a great fall of rain has taken place, which 
has put a complete stop to harvest work. This 
untoward change in the weather is like to do 
much injury, and the prospects for the future are 
at present of the most gloomy character. A con¬ 
tinuance of wet would be productive of the most 
disastrous consequences, by far the greater pro¬ 
portion of the grain crops being still in the fields. 
Under these circumstances it is not to be wonder¬ 
ed at that serious apprehensions should be enter¬ 
tained respecting the result of the harvest; indeed 
it may be regarded as somewhat singular, that 
the excitement has not been much greater. The 
last rise in the value of wheat was caused almost 
entirely by the extensive export demand ; and 
the weather up to this time has bad much less in¬ 
fluence than it usually exercises at the period of 
harvest. This is no doubt attributable to the 
uncertainty felt as to what may be the extent of 
future supplies. Holders cannot as yet realize 
the idea of scarcity under free trade, lienee few are 
disposed to bold heavy stocks. Our position is 
altogether novel, and we want the guide of expe¬ 
rience. For several consecutive years we have 
had good average crops, (the wheat of last year’s 
growth was, it is true, of inferior quality,) and 
the seasons have generally been favorable since 
184G ; there has, consequently, been no case at 
all similar to the present, and we are, in a great 
measure, in the dark as to the working of free 
trade under the new aspect. Our merchants are 
deterred by this uncertainty from acting with de¬ 
cision ; they are willing to pay the high prices 
now current in the Baltic and Black Sea ports.— 
France is, meanwhile, buying wheat wherever it 
can be obtained ; and if our necessities should 
hereafter force us to import largely, the chances 
are that we shall have to pay dearly for supplies. 
That the produce of Wheat of the United King¬ 
dom will be the smallest gathered for many years 
does not admit of question. We were strongly of 
this opinion before the cutting was commenced, 
and the information which has since reached us 
from various quarters, has tended to confirm our 
worst fears. On the best Wheat lands the de¬ 
ficiency will be the most serious ; and we know 
of many instances where the yield will not ex¬ 
ceed two or three quarters to the acre, on farms 
which produced five quarters per acre last year.— 
We do not wish to he understood to imply that 
this will prove the case generally ; but that the 
yield per acre will fall materially short in almost 
all parts of the Kingdon cannot be doubted ; in¬ 
dependent of which, it must be borne in mind 
that the breadth of land sown was, owing to the 
unpropitious weather during the seeding time, at 
least one-fourth less than usual. 
By the latest advices from the Baltic, it appears 
that the weather had become cold and unsettled. 
Harvest bad consequently progressed but slowly; 
and the ultimate result would, it was estimated, 
be much less satisfactory than anticipated earlier 
in the season. Under these circumstances, the 
continued rise in the British, French, and Belgi¬ 
an markets bad told with double effect, and hold¬ 
ers bad become very extravagant in their de¬ 
mands. 
It is yet too early to obtain information of a 
sufficiently definite character to be of much ser¬ 
vice in estimating the probable yield of Wheat in 
Russia, Prussia, &c.; but the weather has been 
similar on the continent to that experienced here. 
“Solitary axd Alone.” —The Philadelphia 
Inquirer says Col. Benton is now seventy-one 
years old, and adds :—“ We saw him the other 
day on the pavement, near his house in Washing¬ 
ton. He is the youngest looking man of seventy 
we have ever seen ; rather fuller in liabit and 
broader than be used to appear. He wears his bat 
with a knowing expression a little on the left side, 
walks with a deliberate and measured tread, hav¬ 
ing something like pride in its seeming — some¬ 
thing that bespeaks a consciousness that he is 
Thomas Hart Benton. He feels his powers, and 
so does his country, and so will it ever. His 
mark will be left upon the era of his life. Few 
men of equal intellectual power and knowledge 
have appeared on this stage of action.” 
The Plains —From the reports of those who 
have crossed the Plains this season, it appears that 
not more than 30,000 emigrants are on the way 
to the Pacific coast, and of these nearly one-half 
are destined for Oregon. They have encountered 
many hardships in their long journey; those who 
are late, must suffer still more. For many days 
after they left the western frontiers, they were 
almost deluged with rain—the roads were heavy, 
and all the streams high. Arriving at Salt Lake 
they discovered that the Mormons had put lip 
provisions of all kinds to famine prices, and were 
extorting the most extravagant rates for ferriage 
across the numerous streams in their territory. 
The Coinage. —It is shown by a return to Par¬ 
liament, that, in three months, from the 1st of 
April to the 30th of June last, the gold coinage 
made at the Mint amounted to £4,763,826, 3s. Id- 
consisting of 4,471,242 sovereigns and 585,167 
half sovereigns. The silver coinage in the quar¬ 
ter was £155,100. Is. 8d., consisting of 1,141.563 
florins, 717,763 shillings, 194,304 sixpences, and 
15,480 threepences. Of copper coinage the re¬ 
turn is none. — London paper. 
Revolutionary Widows. —Twenty-four hun¬ 
dred claims have been made upon the department 
for pensions to the widows of officers and soldiers 
of the Revolution, who were married subsequent 
to the year 1800. When the law was enacted it 
was generally supposed that there would not be 
more than three hundned claims in all. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, Sept. 21, 1853. > 
Since our last report there has been a decline in prices 
of 'Wheat and Flour. This has been produced by the 
news of a decline in Europe, and the serious break in the 
Canal east of this city. The break puts a damper upon 
milling operations. 
Flour sells to the trade at $5,50@6 for good to extra 
brands. Dealers evidently anticipate a further decline in 
foreign markets, in which we think they may be disap¬ 
pointed. 
Wheat is not in much demand, and there is little offer¬ 
ing. Prices range from $1,23 to $1,25. We hear of a sale 
of 6,000 bushels at the latter figure. The break in the 
canal will affect prices of both wheat and flour for some 
days. 
No material change in other articles.

ALBANY MARKET. 
Albany, Sept. 19.—Tiie foreign advices are unfavorable 
for Breadstuffs, hut the reported extensive breaks in the 
canal tended in some degree to check the downward ten¬ 
dency of prices which was apparent on the opening of the 
market. Flour, Wheat and Corn met with a limited de¬ 
mand at reduced prices, while holders of Barley, in view 
of the canal breaks, evinced much firmness, and towards 
the close sales to a fair extent were made at the closing 
prices of last week.

Flour opened heavy and closed dull, at a decline of full 
12faC. Y bbl. on all descriptions. The Eastern demand is

ingly. Some holders of common Western are free sellers 
at a decline of ‘25c. V bbl. The market at the close was 
unsettled and very quiet. The sales of the morning were 
$6,12@G,25 for common to good State; $6,25@6,50 for 
mixed to fancy Mich, and Indiana and common to good 
Ohio. In extra brands but little has been done at the re¬ 
duced prices. Corn Meal is rather firmer. Sales at $1,62 
V 100 lbs. 
Grain—For Wheat our market is dull and prices are 
lower. Prime Genesee afloat is held at $1,41, which is 
above the views of buyers. Corn rules dull and lower.— 
Western mixed may be quoted nominal at 80(3r>2e, the ex¬ 
treme views of buyers and sellers. Barley—sales good 
two-rowed at 76c ; mixed at 80c; and four-rowed at 83@ 
83Kc for good to prime, and 84c for choice; but the bulk 
of the sales were made at 83@83^e. Oats are steady and

N. Y. State Agricultural College. 
This Institution was chartered by the 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 appropriate to their 
vocation ; to prepare Students for practical, active labor, 
by training the mind ic a system which shall inculcate an 
intimate acquaintance with the sciences essential to agri¬ 
cultural success. 
To insure the development of principles and their ap¬ 
plication to the soil, the 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 DELAFIELD, President of the College. 
Hon. JOHN A. KING, Ch '11 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 the College, declaring 
“that after an examination o' the Oaklands Farm in Sen¬ 
eca County, they are entirety 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 and variety 
of soil, in every respect adapted to tire 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 variesfrom 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 
10 per cent on Subscribing.

tion, may find its support widely diff used throughout the 
State.

ATKINS’ SELF-RAKING REAPER. 
I IHIS MACHINE is now offered to the public and war¬ 
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 every farmer 
who lias seen it iu the harvest field, says it performs the 
raking better than a man can possibly do it. 
Price of machines at Chicago, $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.
