MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

Arrival of the Asia. 
’ The steamship Asia, from Liverpool, Saturday, 
j Oct. 8th, arrived at New York ou the 19th inst. 
, The Franklin arrived at Cowes, at 9 o’clock, on 
> Thursday evening, 6th inst. 
) A letter from Smyrna, dated Sept. 23, advises 
> that Martin Koszta had that day sailed for the 
’ United States. 
, The markets continued to follow the varying 
, accounts from the East. Cotton, at Liverpool, 
i was dull. Corn was likewise quiet, and, the past 
> day or two, favoring buyers. Money was rather 
1 dearer, but not scarcer. * 
Russia and Tbrkf.y.— There is nothing more 
definite from Constantinople. Letters of the 25th 
ult., report the prevalence of a very warlike feeling. 
The Paris Patrie semi-officially contradicts the 
\ statement that the Sultan signed a declaration of 
war on the 27th ult. The Council merely resolv¬ 
ed that no more concessions could be made, and 
that the preparations for war must be carried on 
with increased energy. 
Cholera was committing greater ravages than 
ever among the Russians on the Danube. 
Before the Czar left Olmutz, he sent off a cou¬ 
rier to St. Petersburg with an order for the raising 
of a new levy of troops. 
The Vienna semi-official Corresponded, pub¬ 
lishes intelligence from Constantinople, received 
via. Trieste. The probabilities pointed to an im¬ 
mediate declaration of war, but the ambassadors 
had not abandoned the hope that reciprocal con¬ 
cessions might yet be made. The Lloyd's advices 
say that the Divan’s resolve was an ‘'eventual ” 
declaration of war. There were six British and 
four French war steamers at Constantinople, in- 
cluTling those stationed there for the special ser¬ 
vice of the ambassadors. 
England. —A Cabinet Council was to be held 
on Friday, the 7th, to take into consideration the 
alarming condition of Turkish affairs. There was 
also a rumor that Parliament would be summoned 
immediately, but this was doubtful. 
Cholera had broken out with great virulence on 
board the packet ship Isaac Wright, which struck 
on a rock, on the 28th ult., off Cape Clear, and 
had to put back to Liverpool. Before the ship 
reached the Mersey, 47 passengers were thrown 
overboard, and several others died in harbor, and 
were carried ashore. The remainder of the sick 
were carried in carts to the hospitals, where a 
large number—it was impossible to ascertain the 
exact number—had died. 
Robert Whitworth & Co.’s woolen manufactory 
at Lee Bridge, near Halifax, was accidentally 
burned 4th; damage £60,01)0. 
A public meeting has been held at Leicester, in 
favor of the Turks. 
There were 20,143 prisoners in the jails and 
houses of correction of England, on April 18, last. 
Liverpool Markets. —Liverpool, Friday, Oct. 
7, 1853.— Provisions— Beef and Pork are very 
dull. Cheese is less brisk, and dealers look for a 
decline of 2s. to 4s. Lard steady. Tallow has 
■ fluctuated considerably during the week, but 
closes at the extreme rates last advised. In 
Clover seed there have been no transactions.— 
Linseed cakes have advanced £10 for thin Amer¬ 
ican. 
Breadstuff's—Continue quiet; a good retail de¬ 
mand is found for all articles ; there is no altera¬ 
tion in the quotations of last week, though the 
outside are nominal. 
France.— The Bank of France has increased its 
rate of discount to 5 per cent. 
The Monitcur states that the rumor of an im¬ 
pending modification of the Cabinet is altogether 
unfounded. 
The Bulletin de Paris says that dispatches were 
sent out, per steamer Solon, for the French and 
English Admirals in Besika Bay, instructing them 
to enter the Dardanelles, and that the two fleets 
will be in the Bosphorus ou the 7th inst. 
The Monitcur publishes a decree granting per¬ 
mission to foreign vessels to import corn, bread- 
stuffs, rice, potatoes, and dried vegetable, from 
Algiers into France. The license thus granted 
expires on the 31st of December. 
The funeral of M. Arago took place on the 5th. 
Spain.— Mr. Soule arrived at Madrid on the 
29th ult. The Government, it was said, had re- 
i solved to receive him as the Envoy of a friendly 
> Power, and to await his acts. 
Death of the Sleeping Man. —Cornelius Vroo- 
i man died at his brother’s residence, in Clarkson, 
' on Monday, the 17th inst. While on exhibition 
1 in New York, he was taken sick, which seemed 
to induce a wakeful state for & short period, and 
then a stupid condition, with intervals of wake¬ 
fulness, until he was brought home on the 14th. 
He talked but very little, inquiring after his 
mother, who had been dead two years, his father 
and brothers, whom he seemed partially to recog¬ 
nize. He complained of great internal heat, and 
soreness of his throat and stomach. On the morn¬ 
ing of the day of his death, he called for food, and 
ate a hearty meal, and from that time seemed to 
be in pain until about 2 o’clock p. m., when he 
died without a struggle. His age was some 34 
years.— Bern. 
Crime of the United States. —The latest na¬ 
tional statistics of crime are found in the abstracts 
of the seventh census. From that it appears that 
the number of persons convicted of crime in the 
) United S ates for the year ending June, 1850, was 
) about 27,000 ; of these 13,000 were natives, (in- 
) eluding colored persons,) and 14,000 foreign born. 
) By the same authority, and to the same date, we 
are informed that our population was composed of 
17,737,505 natives of the soil, 2,216,828 born in 
foreign countries, and 30,014 whose nativity could 
not be determined. While we have, therefore, 
! but about one foreign resideut to nine native 
whites, there is a fraction over one foreign born 
criminal to every native, including black and 
white. Such was the ratio of the crime in 1850. 
Death of the Slave Jerry.— The Saracuse 
Standard of the 17th inst. says :—“ A letter from 
Mr. Edward Wheeler, formerly a resident of this 
city, but at present residing in Kingston, C. VV., 
informs us that Jerry died in Kingston on Satur¬ 
day, the 10th inst. The disease which terminated 
his earthly career is not stated. Jerry, although 
a very humble individual, has filled a considera¬ 
ble space in the history of our city and the Uni¬ 
ted States Court for the Northern District of New 
York.” 
A Remarkable Burglary Case is on trial at 
Worcester. One of a gang of burglars has turned 
State’s evidence, and his testimony implicates 
Pliny H. Babbitt, a deputy sheriff. He says that 
Babbitt gave them information of the proper 
times and places for their operations, and secreted 
the stolen property. 
EW” A load of hops at Sheboygan, the product 
of 3 acres of ground, brought $1,400. 
Jtg'” The Report of the Directors of the Ver¬ 
mont State Prison for the year ending Sept., 1853, 
states that the number of prisoners is 75 ; last year 
78 ; received by sentence during the year 32. The 
earnings of the prisoners during the year have 
fallen short of those of the year preceding by the 
sum of $1,462 56,— owing to the dimininished 
number of prisoners and the greater amount of 
sickness. The ordinary expenses over income 
have been $488 49; but repairs, change in the 
condition of debts and of appraisal, Ac., have 
amounted to $1,861 56 ; making a balauce of $2,- 
350 03 against the prison. Vermont has the 
smallest number of convicts of any state in the 
Union. 
liW" A dreadful accident occurred recently, on 
the Great Southern and Western Railway at 
Straffan, near Dublin. A cattle train ran full force 
into a passenger train, and literally dashed it to 
pieces. All the cars were broken to fragments, 
excepting one, which, attached to the engine, was 
propelled by the shock of the collision to the dis¬ 
tance of nearly three-quarters of a mile! Ten or 
twelve persons were killed, or smashed, so that 
their bodies could scarce be collected. Fifty per¬ 
sons were wounded, some of whom cannot recov¬ 
er. The causeof the accident was sheer stupidity 
in the drivers of the cattle train, who, by the bye, 
escaped imhurt. 
James McGarty, a man in charge of the 
blasting near the tunnel of the Short Line Rail¬ 
road, in Ohio, a few days since saved from a 
dreadful death a lady and a little boy who were 
seen approaching the blast at the moment an ex¬ 
plosion was expected. He rushed to the spot, and 
snatched the match, when a second later would 
have been fatal to himself and the persons for 
whom he exposed his life. Mr. McGarty received 
a present of a fine Durham cow, and was appoint¬ 
ed foreman, with an increase of wages, for his 
heroic act. 
Jp|^”A case involving the rights of naturalized 
American citizens, is now under the attention of 
the Legation at Berlin. Henry Von Pensche, a 
Prussian, was condemned in 1849 to four years 
imprisonment, for an offence against the press. 
In 1S50 he fled to the United States and took the 
requisite steps to naturalize as a citizen. About 
a year since he returned on private business, to 
Hamburg, where he was arrested and given up to 
the Prussian authorities. Since then he has re¬ 
mained in the jail of Leignitz, and claims the in¬ 
terference of the United States in his behalf. 
The last “ fast press,” of Col. Hoe’s, prints 
20,01)0 copies per hour, but requires eight feeders. 
It is stated by the New York Tribune, that a 
press combining the principles of the Napier and 
Hoe presses, has been invented in New York, 
which will print thirty thousand sheets per hour, on 
both sides. The press is the invention of Mr. Vic¬ 
tor Beaumont, a French citizen of New York, who, 
it is stated, has sold the patent to Mr. Hoe, who 
will manufacture presses on the new plan. 
I'Sfp” The Washington Star says that all the 
census will be complete, as early as the 15th 
proximo, and that Professor De Bow, the superin¬ 
tendent of the work, will have his synoptical re¬ 
port ready for distribution as early as January 
next. The latter will embrace an elaborate act 
of tables comparing the results of the census last 
taken with those of former ones; and also com¬ 
paring them with similar European statistics, for 
which Mr. De Bow has procured ample data from 
Paris. 
The Albany Knickerbocker tells a story of 
a young woman who found her husband seated 
on a dry-goods box, in that city, drunk. She 
took a whip from under her mantilla and applied 
it to his back very severely, and then ordered him 
home. The only regret is that wives like her 
are not more plenty in the land, and then the or¬ 
der of things would be changed, and instead of 
the “ Maine” lick-her law we should have a 
“ Maine” lick-him law. 
;pff“The Inst census showed that Uncle Sam is 
a thrifty farmer. The value of the crops of the 
United States for 1850 were as follows :—Wheat, 
$143,000,000; Indian Corn, 391,200,000; Hay, 
$190,275,000 ; Oats, $70,840,000 ; Potatoes, $73,- 
125,000 ; Cotton, $129,000,000 : the whole crop 
being $1,752,583,042. The animals slaughtered 
are worth $183,000,000 per annum. 
5S3F” A vast amount of freight is now passing up 
and down the Hudson river. The Albany Argus 
says the steamer Oswego took down to New York 
on Monday last, forty two vessels, which is the 
largest number ever towed down by one steamer. 
JjgT By the new Stamp Act, which went into 
operation in Great Britain on the 10th of this 
month, no receipt for any payment for a sum of 
£2, and upward, is valid, except upon stamped 
paper. The amount of the stamp is one penuy.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
The past week has presented in commercial circles a 
tighter and more stringent money market than has yet 
been experienced. The stringency, always felt in the 
first, instance at the great commercial centres, and thence 
extends its sphere of influence, is beginning to press 
on the outer verge of the circle and act upon those 
secondary centres around which revolve the lesser finan¬ 
cial lights; hence the customers of the country banks and 
money lenders find an increased difficulty of accommoda¬ 
tion. The high price and the ready sales of all kinds of 
produce, however, although at a slight decline since last 
quotations, save, the farmer Irom all difficulties on the 
score of cash. It is the speculator, the operator, who 
lives and flourishes on an inflated credit system, ready to 
expand his business and debts with increased facilities for 
borrowing, and equally ready to collapse at any moment 
an external pressure is applied, that suffers at such a time 
as this. 
The New York stock market is at a lower ebb than at 
any period during the year. Over 3,01)0 shares of Erie 
Railroad sold in one day, at 6834@09 (par val. 100,) Hud¬ 
son river 61 @62; New York Central keeps at last quota¬ 
tions, (106@107,) although it is decided that the semi-an¬ 
nual dividend will be deferred. The undoubted value of 
the stock renders it a favorite for permanent investment. 
The import of dry goods into New York last week was 
■SI,318,368, about double the amount of the corresponding 
week of last year. Exports §1,814,420. 
The Arabia, which sailed on the 19th, took out$l,194,- 
000 in gold, and the Havre steamer on the 22d near a mil¬ 
lion more. 
The Asia brought out fresh orders for grain and flour, 
both from England and France, and the demand for ex¬ 
port is active, but at lower than previous rates. 
Several failures of brokers and dry goods dealers have 
taken place in New York during the past week, and 
Messrs. Diamond & Co., sugar refiners, in Rhode Island, 
stopped payment under liabilities of half a million. 
Money is obtained on prime paper in Wall street, at 
from 12 to 15 per cent. The readers of the Rural do not 
get their shaving done with any such razor as that; it 
may do for the fast men of the metropolis, but not for 
those who dig their dollars out of the soil; and the rule 
for them should be to call upon a note shaver, as upon a 
lawyer, only in the event of an unavoidable necessity.

Rochester, Oct. 26, 1853. j

orchard thereon. Said tarm is 3 miles from Cayuga Lake

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 A How ay, 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 
lias 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 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, 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.

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

11IHE subscriber having invested a large amount in this 
X business, is now prepared to fill any orders which he 
may receive. The celebrated Brahma, Sumata, Game, 
Palmer, Marsh and White Shanghais, with many other 
popular varieties, are from the yard of C. C. Plaisted, Esq., 
Great Falls, N. II., and of course cannot he surpassed iu 
the world; My Imperial Cochin China Fowls arefrom 
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 
my advertising, in case they wish to sell Chickens next 
year. 
I am 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. 
A s 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¬

4 SEMI-MONTHLY PAPER, expressly for children. 
A 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 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. 
Y'ork, the 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
