Three Arrivals From Europe, 
GREAT ADVANCE IN BREADSTUFFS ! 
WAR MORE PROBABLE. 
Since our last issue three steamers have ar¬ 
rived from Liverpool—The Washington, Baltic, 
and America. We give the most interesting 
items by each—the most important being the ad¬ 
vance in Breadstuff’s, and greater probability of 
war between Russia and Turkey. 
Items by the Washington. "• 
The steamer Washington arrived in New York 
on the 29ih, from Liverpool the 13th ult. 
Breadstuff's buoyant; an advance of Is on flour 
since Friday, and fully 3d on wheat. Corn Ann 
and wanted at last quotations. 
The Times of the 14th announces that the Em¬ 
peror of Russia had rejected the Turkish modifi¬ 
cation. War was now considered inevitable. 
The lost jewels of the Hungarian Crown have 
been found buried near Orschova. 
Private accounts state that the English and 
French Consuls have left Jassy, creating a great 
panic. 
Gen. Lubin was advancing with a fresh corps 
of Russians upon Moldavia. The Czar was to 
proceed at once to Warsaw, and was to meet the 
Emperor of Austria at Olmutz on the 23d inst. 
Tire troops of Amor Pasha, on the lower Dan¬ 
ube, insist on fighting the Russians, and it is 
feared that the Pasha will not be able to repress 
their fanaticism in time to effect any further ne¬ 
gotiations. 
The weather in England is again unfavorable 
for harvest, and breadstuff's in Mark Lane were 
firmer in consequence. Increased pressure in the 
money market. 
'The cholera is progressing in England. 
The Clipper ship Marco Paulo had arrived at 
Liverpool with dates from Australia to the 10th 
June, and 280,000 lbs. sterliug of gold dust. The 
mining accounts were of a favorable nature. 
Arrival of the America- 
The America arrived at Halifax, Oct. 1, with 
Liverpool dates to the 17th ult. 
Cotton flat and declined 
Breadstuff’s excited. Advancing daily through 
the week and closing Friday at highest figure yet 
attained. Advance during the week on wheat 
6d to 7d. On flour Is fid to 2s. White wheat 
quoted at 9s @9s 3d. Red 8s @6d lOd. West¬

deptession. 
London Money Market. The bank raised in¬ 
terest to 4 y, per cent. Consols closed at 95W 
@/3- 
Liverpool Corn Market. —The market has 
again assumed a decided upward tendency. Sales 
of all articles each day showed a daily rise in pri¬ 
ces, closing on Friday, the Ifith. At each high¬ 
est prices attained. 
The advance during the week was variously 
called fid to 7d on wheat, and Id to 2d on corn, 
and Is fid to 2s on flour. 
The principal houses agree on quoting U. S. 
wheat 9s @ 9s 3d ; red and mixed 8s fid @ 8s lOd. 
Superfine flour 3Is ; Ohio 32s. 
Indian corn in moderate demand 34 @ 35s6d ; 
for yellow do. 34s @ 35sfid. • 
Some firms quote wheat 36s@37s. The ad¬ 
vance was owing to the variable weather with 
more firmness in the Continental market and the 
war aspects of the Russian and Turkish question. 
A note, since the market closed, by telegraph, 
indicated more probability that negotiations will 
be opened instead of war. 
American securities are reported by Bell Co. 
as dull, and prices lower.

The Eastern question was unchanged.

was reported that new modifications, conciliatory 
to both Russia and Turkey were to be made, but 
in the mean time the armies on the Danube might 
come in collision. 
The Servan Charge had notified the Porte that 
Servia would remain neutral in the case of war. 
The Pasha of Egypt will seud Rouchdy Bey as 
Commissioner to the New York exhibition. 
By the overland mail from India, we learn that 
the U. S. Expedition, comprising the Susquehan¬ 
na, Mississippi, Plymouth and Saratoga, sailed 
July 3d, from Shaughi for Japan, followed by 
two Russian frigates. 
The Susquehanna and Potomac on their course 
touched at several iskmdsand distributed live stock, 
and also at Beanian, where they found European 
settlers, where the Commodore purchased 10 acres 
of land on a fiue harbor for a coal depot. 
The Chinese revolution continues, but no de¬ 
cisive action was certain.

upward.

Letters from Madrid say that another ministe¬

The Paris papers state that the French govern¬ 
ment entertains confidence, and hopes the Turkish 
difficulty will be settled without an appeal to 
arms. They add that the Emperor of Russia will 
not, under any circumstances, commence hostili¬ 
ties ; but the definite answer of Turkey cannot be 
known in England until the second week in Oc¬ 
tober. 
A telegraph despatch has been received from 
Vienna saying Austria declines acting with either

the Austrian Ambassador at Constantinople to 
assure the Sultan that he must accept the first

A Man with Twenty Wives. —A man calling 
himselfDr. William Hunter, butwhose real name 
is said to be Nathaniel I. Bird, is in jail at Cam¬ 
den, N. J., on a charge of bigamy and other charg¬ 
es. On Sunday, Elizabeth Harrington, a lady of 
Philadelphia, visited him iu prison,"and ascertain¬ 
ed that he was the man to whom she was married 
on the 9th of July last. On the same’day he was 
visited by another lady form Kensington, named 
Mary Thomas, to whom he was married in May 
last. It is also stated that he has a wifein Read¬ 
ing, another in Wilmington, Del., and yet another 
in Philadelphia. The prisoner is about twenty 
three years of age, and it is stated, declares that 
he has twenty wives, a statement which may be 
true, as more than one-fourth of that number has 
been found within a few days. It is alleged that 
he abandoned each wife soon after marriage and 
that they never heard of him after, until his re¬ 
cent arrest. The affair creates the greatest excite¬ 
ment in Camden aud has induced an immense 
number of persons to seek admission for the pur¬ 
pose of seeing him. 
The Great Canadian Railway, for the con¬

on the St. Lawrence 120 miles below Quebec, and 
terminating at a point opposite Detroit. The 
road will pass through or near Quebec, Montreal, 
Kingston, Belleville, Cobourg, Toronto aud Ham¬ 
ilton, terminating at the waters of Lake Huron, 
near Detroit. It is to be constructed with the 
wideguage, and in every respect to be made in 
the most substantial manner. The river St. Law¬ 
rence is to be spanned by a huge iron bridge, on 
the feasibility of which a favorable opinion has 
been given by Mr. Stephenson, the celebrated 
engineer. The capital has been subscribed in 
England, and the contract for the entire work, in¬

ed and richly filled Agricultural, Horticultural, and Picto¬ 
rial weekly journal .—Rochester Daily American. 
Mexican Wild Potatoes, Poland 0at3 and English 
Potato Onions. 
The articles above named are undoubtedly the best va¬ 
rieties now known and cultivated in this country. Mr. A. 
Hale, of Alloway, N. Y., has the honor of introducing 
the Mexican Potato. He planted 4 small potatoes not ex¬ 
ceeding 3 inches in length and one inch in diameter, ob¬ 
tained from a returned soldier; each successive product 
has shown an increase iu size and beauty, until it is no 
uncommon thing to find tubers 8 to 9 inches long and 
about 2 inches thick, as white as the whitest and as good 
as the best. 
The Poland oats are universally approved where known, 
I have had several reports of the product from the half 
ounces sent out last Spring to 21 of the States and Terri¬ 
tories of this Union; all express themselves in high terms 
of the quality and productiveness.—Product ranging from 
1 quart to 6 quarts from the half ouece by mail, aud many 
have ordered them by the bushel this fall. 
The Potato Onion is also in request, and I am receiving 
inquiries almost daily in regard to these and the articles 
above named. The crop as far as I have been able to as¬ 
certain, will be a good deal short of the demand for seed, 
for each of these articles. What I have to spare is offered 
in the advertisements below. I. W. BRIGGS.

ATKINS’ SELF-RAKING REAPER. 
T HIS 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, hut not yet having been suf¬ 
ficiently tested iu grass (though it soon will be) it is not 
warranted to be equal to a machine made mainly or wholly 
to mow. J 
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 iu note payable 1st Dec. 
The machines are most thoroughly built and warranted.
