Arrival of the Steamship Africa. 
TnE steamship Africa, with Liverpool dates to 
the 10th, reached New York on the 2'2d ultimo. 
She brings 534 passengers. The Humboldt ar¬ 
rived out on the 8th. Liverpool cotton market 
dull—prices favor buyers—but quotations are 
about the same. Sales of the week, 32,500 bales. 
Breadstuff market was lower in the early part

Nothing decisive on the Turkish question. The 
Czar’s reply could not arrive by couriers for some 
days—say fifteen ; but the fact that he hesitates 
to telegraph his reply, had awakened symptoms 
of renewed anxiely, and had depressed the Brit¬ 
ish and French funds. The answer many think 
will be peaceful. 
The French government is anxiously laboring 
to make it seem that it is not intei ferit g with the 
legitimate trade in buying up breadstuffs. The 
Mouiteur publishes an announcement that the 
Government is not buying up corn—a most ex¬ 
traordinary statement, it being notoriously known 
that she was buying immensely. 
All was quiet in France, except some insignifi¬ 
cant bread riots. The Emperor is still at Dieppe. 
Navigation dues were repealed till December on 
all vessels passing the French rivers or canals 
with corn. 
The Roman territories were in a very disturbed 
state, the nominal cause being the scarcity of 
bread. 
Com. Vanderbilt had arrived at Bosphorus with 
his yacht. 
The following is the latest from the second edi¬

brought down 700. 
The Cortez arrived at San Francisco August 
24th, with the passengers who left New York by 
the Northern Lighten the 5th of Aug. Ad well. 
The markets had been dull since the sailing of 
the previous steamer. The demand for the inte¬ 
rior is light, with no prospect of immediate im¬ 
provement. Flour was in favor of the buyer, with 
light sales. Gal lego and Haxall fetched $22@23

Large meetings had been held in San Francisco, 
in favor of the immediate construction of the 
Pacific railway. 
Politics are waxing warm. Several prominent 
Democrats arc stumping the State in opposition 
o Bigler. Dr. Ii. M. Gray is named by the Whigs 
for Mayor of San Francisco. The Democrats had 
named Capt. C. H. Harrison, agent of the Nicar¬ 
agua Steamship Company, for Mayor. 
Bricklayers had struck for $12 a day, and hod 
carriers for $6 — both successful. Vast numbers 
of buildings were going up at a cost of from $75,- 
(JUO to $200,000 each. The taxable property of 
San Francisco is assessed at $29,000,000. 
Nearly half of the town of Sonora has been de¬ 
stroyed by fire: it commenced at Barnum’s Hotel, 
and swept down the whole of the north portion 
of Main street. The business portion of the city 
was uninjured. 
The town of Kelsey Diggings, Eldorado county, 
was burned down on the night of the 25th of 
August. Mr. Miller’s Bakery, Woodruff & Johu-

Dates from Oregon are to August 26th. The 
Indian insurrection in Rogue River Valley had 
created great consternation among the inhabitants. 
The several tribes had united and commenced a 
war of extermination upon the whites. Many 
massacres had already been committed. Among 
the victims are Dr. Win. R. Rose and John It. 
Harding. Lieut. B. O. Griffin, with a company 
of troops, had made an attack upon a party of 
Indians, and wks obliged to retreat with the loss 
of one man, and himself wounded. An expedi¬ 
tion under Gen. Lane had gone to the scene of 
aetion, and bloody work was expected. At the 
last accounts twenty whites had been butchered 
by the Indians.

MOORE’S RUR.IL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL 
Important to Postmasters and Others. 
We are requested by the Postmaster General to 
call attention to the following regulations in re¬ 
gard to postage on letters to foreign countries: 
In the mail to Great Britain the single rate of 
postage is 24 cents, pre-payment optional. On 
either a letter or packet ot any weight, the whole 
postage or none at all should be pre-j.aid. If any - 
thing less than the whole is pre-paid, no account 
is taken of it, and it is entirely lost to the sender .— 
The British Post Office declines to change this 
rule, except on conditions considered inadmissible. 
In the Prussian closed Mail to Germany 30 cents 
is the single rate, pre-payment optional. This 
pays from any part of the United States to any 
part of the German Austrian Postal Union. A 
pre-payment of any sum less than the regular rate 
of 30 cents is not recognized, and is of course lost 
to the sender. A note of fractior.s of the rate 
could not be taken without seriously complicat¬ 
ing the accounts, besides causing much additional 
labor and trouble at the exchange offices. But, 
Contrary to the practice under the United States 
and British Postal Convention, in the Prussian 
mail every full rate of 30 cents is credited, whether 
t he whole postage on a letter or packet is pre-paid 
or not, leaving any balance due to be collected at 
the office of delivery. 
By the Bremen Mail the rule is the same as un¬ 
der the Prussian arrangement. The single rate to 
Bremen is 10 cents, to Oldenburg 12, Hamburg 
15, to Altona and Hanover 21 cents, and to any 
other place iu Germany 22 cents, pre-payment 
optional. Iu either case a pre-payment of any 
fraction of the full rate goes for nothing. 
The rule for rating letters toall foreign countries 
(except the British North American Provinces) is 
to charge one rate for half an ounce or under, two 
rates it the weight is over one-half and not exceed¬ 
ing one ounce, four rates if over one and not ex¬ 
ceeding two ounces, six rates if over two and not 
exceeding three ounces, and so on, charging two 
rates for every ounce or fractional part of an ounce 
over the first ounce. As this rule differs from that 
followed in respect to domestic letters, wheie each 
half ounce or fraction of a half ounce counts as 
one rate only, post-masters who are not careful to 
observe this difference are liable oi course to com¬ 
mit mistakes. 
We beg*o suggest that in calling attention to 
this subject editors generally would render to 
many, of their readers an essential service, and we 
would suggest to those of our readers who have 
any foreign correspondence, to preserve the above 
explanations for future reference.— Eat.Int. 
Washington Territory.— We have dates from 
Olympia to the 29th of August—fourteen days 
later. 
The only subject engrossing the. attention of the 
people of this Territory is what is called the 
■‘Cascade Road,” which offers a passage-way to 
the immigrants from the Atlantic State into the 
1 erritoiy. Parties had been sent out for the pur¬ 
pose of opening the road, and had transmitted 
back flattering accounts of their progress. By 
means of this road it is said that Washington in¬ 
tends to divide the immigration with her sister, 
Oregon Territory ; the consequence is, quite a 
spirit of rivalry exists between them. 
Hogs on the Wabash.— The Louisville Daily 
Courier learns from a gentleman from the Wabash 
Valley, and particularly in the neighborhood of 
Terre Haute, la., that hogs are more abundant 
than ever known in that region before, and the 
farmers are offering to contract for packing at 2Uf 
to 3 ceuts net. The corn crops are also represent¬ 
ed as in a flourishing condition, and large crops 
anticipated. * 
Synod of Genesee.— The Dansville Herald of 
the 2lst says the Synod of Genesee, according to 
previous announcement, met at the Second Pres¬ 
byterian Church, in that viPage, Tuesday after¬ 
noon. The Syncd is one of the largest of the 
Constitutional General Assembly, numbering 128 
ministers, belonging to six different Presbyteries 
with an equal number of Elders of Churches en¬ 
titled to seats. 
Vermont. —The Vermont State Journal sums 
up the different parties iu the eusuing Legislature 
as follows : 
Senate—Whigs 16, Democrat 11, Free Soil 1. 
House—Whigs 95, Democrats 82, Free Soil 37. 
The whole number of members being 214, 103 
is a majority. The Whigs, therefore, are 13 short 
of that number, and the Democrats 26. 
Large Cattle Train.— The cattle train which 
went down over the Boston, Concord and Mon¬ 
treal Railroad on Monday night week, consisted 
of 125 cars, loaded with cattfe and sheep. The 
cattle trains on this thriving aud well managed 
road are seldom less than a hundred car loads. & 
It is said that sixty thousand dollars is 
to be expended on the mule road over the Isth¬ 
mus between Cruces and Panama, aud that thro’ 
tickets will be issued about the first of October, 
when passengers and their luggage will be carried 
through from the Atlantic to the Pacific, iu from 
twelve to fifteen hours. 
23 §T The yellow fever is abating at Mobile.— 
There were only 13 deaths on the 23d. The 
fever prevails extensively at Galveston, Texas.— 
Over 100 citizens, including several eminent phy¬ 
sicians, have already died. It is also raging at 
Houston. 
A citizen of New Haven, named August 
Buffet, was murdered in Gold street, New York, 
on Wednesday night. He was met by rowdies, 
who knocked him down and killed him. The 
murderers were not apprehended. 
Two hundred Camanche Indians attacked 
14 Americans near El Paso and massacred 11 of 
them. The Mexican and American troops con¬ 
tinue to concentrate on the Rio Grande. 
The coi,Facts for cleaning the streets in 
New York have been let for the coming year for 
$99,970—being a saving over the present year, 
exclusive of the street manure, of $195,340/ 
The total number of deaths by yellow 
fever in the city of New Orleans, from May 20th 
to September 18th, inclusive, was 7,481.

Rochester, Sept. 28, 1853. j 
There has been but little change in prices of marketa¬ 
ble commodities since our last report. Breadstuff's are a 
little firmer. Wheat has again advanced under the influ¬ 
ence of the late foreign advices. The street price for good 
parcels is $1,31 1;(, though some lots have been sold at a 
higher figure. We hear of sales of some 10,000 bushels 
during the week at from $1,25 to $1,31. 
The break in the Canal is repaired, and the crowd of 
I boats is diminishing, though the low water on the levc 1 
impedes their progress.

SAMUEL MOULSON, 
AT THE OLD ROCHESTER NURSERY. 
Office, No. £8 Front St., Rochester, N. Y. 
I S prepared to furnish inventories, to posl-paid appli¬ 
cants, of the present very extensive stock of Nursery 
items, consisting in part of 
120,000 Dwarf and standard Pear Trees. 
90,000 Apple Trees. 
50,000 Peach Trees. 
30,0(1(1 Plum, Cherry and Apricot Trees. 
Over 100,000 Hardy Evergreens. 
Also, extra large Northern Spy Apple Trees, Dwarf and 
Standard Pear, Cherry, &e., &c. 
Also, for immediate effect, a large quantity of extra 
sized Ornamental Trees, urnong which are fine specimens 
of Norway Spruce, Silver Maple, Pawlonias, Catalpas, 
Mountain Ash, Morse Chestnut , &c. 
And a fine selection of Weeping Deciduous Trees. Or¬ 
namental Shrubs, Hybrid Perpetual Roses, together with 
such novelties as may be classed strictly hardy. Also a 
very limited assortment of half hardy plants of small size, 
such as Cryptomeria Japonica, Cedrus Deodara, &e., &c. 
The amateur wishing prime fruits of well established 
repute, or the agriculturist needing fine cropping, tho¬ 
roughly tesled varieties, may rely upon the most careful 
execution of their orders. 
The Ornamental items are entirely grown in the Nur¬ 
sery, consequently none of the heavy losses are suslained 
that usually occur to recent imported subjects. 
The Evergreens are very robust and admirably furnish¬ 
ed to the surface of the ground, none presenting the naked 
stems usual to imported plants. 
Dealers are invited to give a call before making their 
purchases.

ATKINS’ SELF-RAKING REAPER. 
rip HIS MACHINE is now o Acred to the public and war- 
JL 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) u 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 has seen it in 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.
