Joireigi) ji)ieiiigei)C6. 
Arrival of the Canada. 
The Royal Mail Steamship Canada, from Liv¬ 
erpool, arrived at Halifax Oct. 13th, bringing 13S 
through passengers. 
The Europa arrived out on Sunday, 25th ult. 
The Collins steamship Atlantic,from New A ork, 
Sept. 17, arrived at Liverpool Tuesday, 27th ult. 
On the 25th and 26th of September, a violent 
storm prevailed along the British and Dutch 
coasts, occasioning much loss of life and property. 
Rotterdam and other Dutch cities were inundated, 
and a screw steamer of Amsterdam was lost in the 
Zuyder Zee, with 100 lives. The iron steamer 
Cammeston, bound from Hull to Hamburg, was 
also lost with several lives. The American packet 
ship Neva put back to Liverpool, and went ashore 
in the Mersey. Several passengers in attempting 
to reach the pier were drowned. The ship Joseph 
Walker, from New York, sustained considerable 
damage in the Mersey. The American, for San 
Francisco, weut. ashore near Southport. The 
Shooting Star lost her topmast. 
The ship Rhein, from Hamburg for New York, 
with two hundred passengers, had put into Ports¬ 
mouth with cholera on board. 
The Eastern Question. —The Daily News of 
the 29th ult., states that Admiral Dundas has re¬ 
ceived orders from the British Admiralty to move 
with the whole English fleet from Besika to Con- 
stautinope. 
Great Britain.— The Bank of England has 
raised its rate of discount to five per cent. 
The Court continued in Scotland, and home 
politics presented a complete blank. Meetings 
had been called in some of the larger cities to 
sympathize with the Greek Christains, but they 
were regarded as Russian demonstrations, and but 
few attended. 
Sir James Graham, at a dinner given to the 
Lords of the Admiralty, who were with the fleet 
at Cork, stated that although arming was going 
on iu the naval department, these preparations 
were made in the spirit of peace. 
France. —All sorts of alarming rumors were 
circulated on the Paris Bourse. The Russian 
Minister was said to have demanded his passports. 
Austria. — The Emperor Nicholas and the 
Prince of Prussia arrived on the 24th at Olmutz, 
to meet the Emperor of Austria. Since then, 
there had been a great military display, and a long 
private conference between the two Emperors. 
India and China. —The Overland Mail had been 
telegraphed. The dates were, Calcutta, Aug. 20 ; 
Bombay, Aug. 30. 
The famine continued at Rangoon, with the 
prevalence of cholera among the natives, and fever 
among the British troops. 
Burmah was quiet, and.Hindostan also. 
In China, the insurgents continued their ad 
vances on Pekin. The Imperial Government was 
iu great want of money, and provisions were be¬ 
coming scarce at Pekin. The hired fleet block¬ 
ading Chin Kiaug consisted of eight English and 
American vessels. Nothing later is received con¬ 
cerning Commodore Perry’s movements. 
The steamer Powhatten arrivedat Hong Kon g 
on the 26tli, and the Vandalia at Macao on the 
23d.of July, and both had gone north to join the 
Japan Expedition. Canton was quiet. 
Australia. —Advices from Port Phillip to the 
4th of July are received. The market was torpid, 
and forced sales at auction were taking place.— 
Prices had fallen 50 per cent. Flour was being 
re-shipped to England, and there was a stock of 
50,000 bids, on hand. Three hundred ships with 
good cargoes on board, were in the harbor. 
The escape of John Mitchell from Australia is 
confirmed. He called at the police office with a 
formal resignation of his parole, and while the 
officers were reading it, he stepped out, mounted 
a horse in waiting, and rode off. 
Liverpool Market. —Breadstuffs continued in 
active demand for consumption, with prices still 
on the advance. Flour in good request, with a 
partial advance as per conflicting circulars of 1@ 
2s. per barrel. The most reliable circulars quote 
Western Canal at 34s@34s fid ; Baltimore and 
Philadelphia, 35s fid ; Ohio, 35s ; Choice do., 36 ; 
Canadian, 34s. Wheat has advanced 3d. 
Provisions. —Very little doing in Beef, but pri¬ 
ces remained firm. U. S. prime mess quoted at 
97@.105s; Canadian Beef, 80@90s. Pork in fair 
request at full prices—holders do not press sales. 
Prime Eastern mess, 80@85s : Western, 72s 6d@ 
75s; Canadian, 75@80s. Nothing doing in Ba¬ 
con. Considerable transactions in Shoulders at 
30s. Lard remained steady, with small sales at 
59@60s on the spot, and 52s for spring delivery. 
Cheese moved readily at former rates. Butter— 
Canadian quoted at 70@85s. 
At Manchester on Friday, the 30th, tire market 
for Goods and Yarns closed with depression,, and 
a very limited business. 
Arrival of the Humboldt. 
The above steamer arrived at New York on the 
night of the 14th. She left Havre on the 30th 
and Cowes on the 1st, and brings 216 passengers 
and 400 tons of merchandize. On the 3d inst, 
when tw r o days out from Cowes, the Humboldt 
reports having passed seven large ships, men-of- 
war, standing west. What nation they belonged 
to is not stated. The Humboldt’s news was an¬ 
ticipated by the previous arrival of the Cauada at 
Halifax. 
Against the advice of the Four Powers, the 
Sultan has signed the Declaration of War. 
Report says that hostilities have already begun. 
The report is not fully confirmed by the English 
press, although facts previously known render it 
probable. The London Globe in relation to the 
matter says:—“ In publishing the foregoing im¬ 
portant intelligence, we would merely state that, 
although our own information does not authorize 
us to corroborate the main fact of a declaration of 
war', it is of a nature to warrant us in placing 
every credit in the statement. That the Sultan 
had, on the 27th, convoked a Grand Council, con¬ 
sisting of 120 of the principal Ministers, Council¬ 
lors, Pachas and others —that the question of 
peace and w r ar was submitted to them by him, 
and that they had decided in favor of the latter 
alternative. All this is beyond a doubt. Such 
being the case, our readers will see that all the 
probabilities are in favor of the main feature of 
the intelligence.” 
British funds had materially declined, owing to 
the news from the East. Consols closed Tuesday, 
the 4th, at 90%. 
Review of the Wool Market for Sept. 
Prices have remained stationary during this 
month, principally by reason of the uncertainty 
which has hung over the question of war or peace 
Europe, and from the operation of a rather 
stringent money market. There has however 
sprung up quite an active demand near the close 
of the month, and advanced prices are obtained 
as compared with the lowest point reached in 
August, and the early part of this month. The 
reaction has taken place, and prices must now rule 
high until the next clip. 55@65c. is now a fair 
quotation for good to prime full blood Merino, 
and 65 to 85c for Saxon. Common and grades 
range from 40 to 55c. 
Manufacturers have not yet become fully aware 
of the great falling off in the wool growing busi¬ 
ness of the Union. In this State alone the de¬ 
crease of sheep since 1845 has beeu about four 
millions, and in ’all the New England States the 
decrease has been equally marked. There has 
been an increase West, but not in any proportion 
to the decrease East. It is true, that by the use 
of old woolen rags, which have become a very 
important staple of commerce, and the increased 
adulteration of woolen cloths by substituting cot¬ 
ton and flax-cotton, the manufacturers have not 
been so observant as they might otherwise have 
been. The fact exists, nevertheless, and they will 
become aware of it in due time. Wool must rule 
high.— Wool Grower. 
Singular Casualty.— A daughter of Michael 
Youngs, aged four and one-fifth years, of Sussex, 
New Jersey, fell upon the floor with a needle two 
and a quarter inches long sticking in its apron, 
and which was partly driven into its chest and 
broken off. The doctors could not find the piece 
of the needle, and the child lingered in great agony 
for four weeks, when it died, and a post mortem 
examination revealed a piece of the needle, one 
inch and a quarter long, lying loose in a large 
collection of matter entirely within the heart’s 
substance. 
jgfpA break occurred in the Genesee Valley 
Canal, about three miles south of this city, by 
which about twenty feet of the tow path was car¬ 
ried away, to the depth of about thirty feet, on 
Sunday morning last. A gang of men were im¬ 
mediately set at work and the breach repaired. 
The Albany Northern railroad company 
have made an assignment of their property.— 
There is, it is stated, a mortgage on the road of 
$600,000, and the floating debts amount to $500,- 
000 more; in addition to which $250,000 must 
be expended to put the road in complete order.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Arrival of the Atlantic. 
The U. S. Mail steamship Atlantic, from Liver¬ 
pool Wednesday, Oct. 5, at 1 o’clock P. M., with 
210 passengers, etc., reached New York on Sun¬ 
day, the 16th, at 12 M. 
The Asia arrived at Liverpool at 10 o’clock 
forenoon of Sunday, 2d. On the 28th ult., lat. 
50° 46', long. 28° 26' passed the Arabia from New 
York. 
The Turks are reported to have declared war 
against Russia. 
Cottou irregular, but can hardly be quoted 
lower. Breadstuffs closed at about former quota¬ 
tions, but had shown some symptoms of dullness 
the previous three days. 
Advices from Smyrna of Sept. 21, state that on 
that eveuing Martin Koszta, the Hungarian refu¬ 
gee, would sail for the United States onboard 
the American bark Mimosa. This was to be done 
with the consent of all the parties concerned, and 
thus the matter, as far as Koszta himself is con¬ 
cerned, was settled. Mr. Brown, the U. S. Consul, 
was at Smyrna, to see the business duly finished. 
The Turkish Question. —The news concerning 
a declaration of war and the commencement of 
hostilities, was received in London on the eve¬ 
ning of Oct. 3d by sub-marine telegraph from 
Vienna. The following is the form of the des¬ 
patch : 
Vienna, Monday Evening, Oct. 3, 1853. 
The Divan, at the Grand Council held this day, 
resolved on a Declaration of War against Russia, 
The money market in our commercial cities has been 
very stringent for the past week, and speculators are hav¬ 
ing a blue time. Several large operators in Wall street 
have failed, and others are reported to stand in a critical 
position. Trime paper is negotiated at a discount of 12 
per cent, and second class at from 15 to 18 per cent. New 
York Central Railroad stock, which a few weeks ago was 
selling at SI27 per share, sold down at the close of the 
week at §106^; Erie 70 to 72; Hudson River 63, audother 
stocks in proportion. 
There is in the New York Sub-Treasury about nine 
million of coin and eleven million in the banks. The 
steamer for Liverpool on Saturday, took out §900,000 in 
gold. Breadstuffs advanced on receipt of the foreign news 
by the Canada, hut receded slightly on t he receipt of later 
dates by the Atlantic. The markets are unsettled just 
now, but the prospects of an increased demand for export 
are favorable; and the farmer has ample reason to expect 
good prices for anything he may have to sell. The panic 
and hard times among speculators, will not extend to him 
so long as he continues in the legitimate line of business; 
at the same time, in view of the unsettled state of affairs 
in Europe and the possible contingency of a money crisis 
in this country, it is the part of prudence for the farmer 
to keep as far as possible from the necessity of money 
loans. 
The commercial relations of our own country with Eu¬ 
rope are so intimate, and we are so largely in debt to Eng¬ 
land and some of the contineual countries at this time, 
that any disturbing causes iu the money market there 
affects our own very materially. The latest news by the 
Atlantic is, that war has commenced between Russia and 
Turkey, which, if true, will increase financial difficulties 
at least for a time. American stocks held in Europe will 
ho returned for specie to meet the expenses of a war, and 
consequently increase the stringency of the money market 
here. But at the same time, the demand for American 
agricultural products will increase also, and the farmer be 
benefited thereby. The readers of the Rural, by exer¬ 
cising the prudence characteristic of intelligent agricul¬ 
turists, have nothing to apprehend from the present 
clouded aspect of the financial horizon.

Rochester, Oct. 19, 1853. y 
The markets remain generally unchanged, although the 
expectation of many is for an upward tendency in prices. 
Millers in the city are paying $1,40 for wheat, which is ail 
or more than they can afford at the present price of flour 
and freights. Country dealers are paying for wheat for 
shipment $1,37 J. 
Millers have experienced much difficulty in getting their 
flour early to market, and have addressed a remonstrance 
to the Directors of the Central Railroad in consequence 
of preferences being given by them to Western over State 
freights. There has also been a scarcity of boats lately in 
consequence of a break in the canal. These things tend 
to prevent a rise in our market. Flour is quoted at $6,38 
@6,50. 
The pleasant weather of the week has lessened the de¬ 
mand for fuel and the good state of the roads keeps up a 
fair supply Of wood in the market. 
Hay has declined somewhat from previous rates, selling 
at $9@14.

THE PREMUIM STRAW CUTTER, 
WITH CHURN ATTACHMENT. 
T HIS admirable machine is so constructed that it can 
be used for cutting hay, straw or corn stalks. The 
adjustable mouth-piece, peculiar to this machine,is so con¬ 
structed that simply on the turning of a nut with the 
thumb and finger so adjusts as to keep the cutting part at 
all times in perfect order. 
The Churn Attachment, as will he seen in the above 
cut, is applied to the common dash churn—and is simple, 
perfect and labor-saving. 
Wherever this machine has been on exhibition it has 
invariably received the first premium, it is now on sale by

make the most beautiful parlor ornaments. They are also 
very desirable for planting out of doors, in borders or 
small beds. Being quite hardy, they never fail in produc¬

Mexican Wild Potatoes, Poland Oats 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; eacli successive product 
has shown an increase in 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 whore known, 
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 aud productiveness.—Product ranging from 
quart to 6 quarts from the half ouece by mail, and 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.

PEOPLE’S COLLEGE OF THE STATE 
of New York, Incorporated April 12, 1853.—This insti¬ 
tution lias been chartered by the Legislature of this State 
for the purpose of reducing the expenses of Academic and 
Collegiate Education, and thereby open the Halls of Sci¬ 
ence to all classes of society by reducing the cost of tuition 
board and clothing, and enabling the student to defray the 
greater part of the expense in labor. 
Provision will be made to educate young men corpo 
really and mentally for specific purposes, by pursuing full 
and definite courses of study for each of the pursuits re 
presented in the College—either Agricultural,Mechanic! 
or Professional—and thus graduates will be qualified for 
entering at once upon the busiuess of their choice. 
At a regular meeting of the Trustees named in the Char¬ 
ter, held at Owego, on the 25tli day of May, the following 
appointment® were made: 
D. C. McCallum, of Owego, President of the Board 
Trustees. 
A. I. VVynkoop, ofChemung, Vice President. 
Tracy’ Morgan, of Binghamton, Treasurer. 
Harrison Howard, of Lockport, Secretary and General 
Agent. 
Agents are being commissioned in each county of the 
State, that the people may have an opportunity to contri¬ 
bute to the capital stock, which is distributed in shares so 
small that every individual may become interested in an 
institution which commends itself to the favorable consid¬ 
eration of every intelligent person. 
For further information upon the subject, application 
may be made, post-paid, to the Secretary, who will send a 
pamphlet containing the act of incorporation and objects 
of the Institution, and ether needful information. 
lS8-tf H. HOWARD, Secretary. 
The undersigned, having been appointed Agent for 
Rochester and Monroe county, will be most happy to fur¬ 
nish any new information desired, in reference to the Col 
lege, to receive stock subscriptions, (the shares are one 
dollar each,) or to address audiences, on invitation, ex¬ 
plaining at length the plans and objects of the People's 
Collc'e, and also as lie views the idea of a true education.

AT THE OLD ROCHESTER NURSERY. 
Office, No. 36 Front St., Rochester, N. Y. 
I S prepared to furnish inventories, to post-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. 
30,000 Plum, Cherry and Apricot Trees. 
Over 100,000 Hardy Evergreens. 
Also, extra large Northern Spy Apple Trees, Dwarf and 
Standard Pear, Cherry, &c., &c. 
Also, for immediate effect, a large quantity of extra 
sized Ornamental Trees, among which are fine specimens 
of Norway Spruce, Silver Maple, Pawlonias, Catalpas, 
Mountain Ash, Horse 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, &c., &c. 
The amateur wishing prime fruits of well established 
repute, or the agriculturist needing fine cropping, tho¬ 
roughly tested 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 sustained 
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.

Ornamental and Domestic Poultry. 
T HE subscriber having invested a large amount in this 
business, is now prepared to fill any orders which he 
may receive. The celebrated Brahma, Snmata, Game, 
Palmer, Marsh and White Shanghais, with many other 
popular varieties, are from the yard of C. C. Plaisted, Esq., 
Great Falls, N. H., and of course cannot be surpassed in 
the world. My Imperial Cochin China Fowls are from 
Col.B.P. Johnson, his stock imported last year, ’52,from 
the best breeders in England. All who well know Col. 
j will understand that he has the best or none. My 
black Spanish are quite late, and will not be ready for 
market before next spring. They are from Mr. John 
Giles, late imported, the best blood in the country. These 
birds are so fast coming into repute that the price will 
doubtless run high for some years to come, as will also be 
the case with the Brahma, Sumatra, Game, &c. All per-^ 
sons purchasing fowls from me, can enjoy the benefit of 
mv advertising, iu case they wish to sell Chickens next 
“7am quite sure that our southern and western fanciers 
can be better suited here than farther east, as the long 
distance on railroad much injures the health and growth 
of the fowls. 
As there are many fowls in market which have no claim 
upon the public favor, I will give my patrons something 
more tangible than my own words, for 
*'If self the wavering balance shake, 
It’s rarely right adjusted.” 
I am therefore permitted to refer all who entertain any 
scepticism, to the following gentlemen :—Col. B. P. John¬

THE JUVENILE IXSTUIUI’OH, 
BY UNCLE LUCIUS, Syracuse. 
A SEMI-MONTHLY PAPER, expressly for children. 
It aims to attract tlieir 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 all 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, the postage is 6 cents per year, paid at the ofiioe 
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 vear—single copies, 25c.: Five to one address
