Arrival of the Africa. 
The Cunard Mail Steamer Africa, left Liver¬ 
pool, on Saturday, the 2Ad ult., and arrived at N T . 
York, Nov. 4th. 
The screw steamer Andes, arrived at Liverpool 
at noon of Friday, the 21st. 
The Africa passed the screw steamship City of 
Glasgow, from Philadelphia, going into Liverpool. 
Further difficulties (though not important) have 
arisen in respect to the release of Ivosta. He was 
still in prison, though his liberation would doubt¬ 
less soon take place. 
Tiie Eastern- Question.— The position of af¬ 
fairs remains unchanged as regards the prospect 
of hostilities. 
The Declaration of War was to be read in all 
the Mosques, on the 7th Oct. It tvas not ex¬ 
pected that hostilities would commence before 
the 25th. 
Rescind Pasha’s son was the bearer of the sum¬ 
mons to Prince GortschakofE 
OMAR PASHA’S LETTER TO PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF. 
“ Monsieur la General: —It is by the order of 
my Government that I have the honor to address 
this letter to your Excellency. 
“ While the Sublime Porte has exhausted all 
means of conciliation to maintain at once peace 
and its own independence, the Court of Russia 
Las not ceased to raise difficulties in the way of 
any such settlement, and has ended with the vio¬ 
lation of treaties—invading the two Principalities 
of Moldavia and Wallachia, integral parts of the 
Ottoman Empire. 
“ Tuie to its pacific system, the Porte, instead 
of exercising its right to make reprisals, confined 
itself even then to protesting, and did not deviate 
from the way that might lead to an arrangement. 
“ Russia, on the contrary, far from evincing cor¬ 
respondingsentiments, has ended by rejecting the 
proposals recommended by the august mediating 
Courts—proposals which were alike necessary to 
the honor and to the security of the Porte. 
“There only remains for the latter the indis¬ 
pensable necessity of war. But, as the invasion 
of the Principalities and the violation of treaties 
which have attended it, are the veritable causes of 
war, the Sublime Porte, as a last expression of its 
pacific sentiments, proposes to your Excellency 
by my intervention, the evacuation of the two 
provinces, and giants for your decision a term of 
15 days, to date from the receipt of this letter.— 
If, within this interval, a negative answer shall 
reach me from your Excellency, the commence¬ 
ment of hostilities will be lire natural conse¬ 
quence. 
“ While I have the honor to make this intima¬ 
tion to your Excellency, I embrace the opportu¬ 
nity to offer the assurances of my high esteem.” 
The Journal des Dcbats gives the following as 
the answer of Prince Gortscbakoff to the demand 
made by the Ottoman Porte that he should evac¬ 
uate the Danubian provinces : 
“ My master is not at war with Turkey, but I 
have orders not to leave the Principalities until 
the Porte shall have given to the Emperor the 
moral satisfaction he demands. When this point 
shall have been obtained, I will evacuate the 
Principalities immediately—whatever the time or 
the season. If I am attacked by the Turkish 
army, I will confine myself to the defensive.” 
England. —A numerously attended meeting 
was held at Finsbury, Loudon, 18th, to express 
sympathy with the Turks. 
The Dublin Exhibition is to close finally, Oct. 
30th. J 
The ship Dalhousie, from Gravesend, 13th ult., 
for Sydney, sunk on the 19th, oft'Beechy head— 
Fifty-nine lives were lost. The ouly particulars 
that have reached us—indeed, all that is known, 
or that is likely to be known—of this melancholy 
loss, we have from the only survivor, Jos. Reed. 
He says that he was at the helm at the time, 
when he suddenly felt a tremendous motion in 
the ship, and at ouce perceived that she was sink¬ 
ing. He ran up to the mizentopmast-head, when 
she speedily went down, carrying with her, we 
regret to say, all on board, except this solitary 
survivor. 
Capt. M’Clure, of the Investigator, in the Arc¬ 
tic Expedition, writing from Port Warren, on the 
3°th of August, says —“ I hope to round Cape 
Bathurst to-morrow. This will, therefore, be the 
last communication which it will, in all probabil¬ 
ity, be fn my power to make to their Lordships. 
The temperature has hitherto been exceedingly 
mild, thermometer very seldom below 32 ; and 
from the present favorable appearance,both of the 
weather and state of the ice, I have very strong 
hopes of getting well to the northward ere the 
navigation ceases, which will be about the latter 
end of next month, according to Esquimaux re¬ 
port.” 
France. —The Russian Minister in Paris, has 
contradicted in the most absolute manner, the 
statement that the Emperor of Russia threatened 
a war of extermination against Turkey. 
Trieste, Oct. 19—The Sultan, on the 10th, 
demanded of Lord Stratford the entrance of the 
fleet into the Dardanelles, and is said to have re¬ 
ceived an affirmative reply. 
Constantinople, Oct. 13—The combined fleets 
have not yet entered the Dardanelles, but they 
are momentarily expected. The fleet in the har¬ 
bor of Constantinople, which had been laid up for 
the winter, have been ordered to prepare for sea 
with all possible despatch. 
The Turkish force now in arms is estimated, 
though somewhat loosely, at 300,090 men, name¬ 
ly : 120,000 between the Danube and the Balkan, 
15,000 in Bosnia. G.000 near Pristina on the Ser¬ 
vian frontier, 50,000 who will be mustered with¬ 
in 20 days at Adrianople. and from 80,000 to 100- 
000 on the frontier of Asia. 
The Russians, on their part, are actively increas¬ 
ing the forces on the Danube. Immense barracks 
are being built on its banks, the expense of which 
Gortscluikoff makes the Hospodars pay ; and to 
such a length has the Russian Prince carried his 
demands, that the Vvallachian Government had 
been compelled to borrow six millions of piastres. 
% As regards the theatre of anticipated warfare, 
avc learn that 30,000 Russians are immediately to 
be conveyed to Redout-kale (in the Russo-Ci rcas- 
siari province of Imerith,) within three days.— 
Gen. Xewadowski, the hetman of the Chernotnor- 
ski Cossacks, has reached Anapa, (Russian fort- 
tress on the coast of the Abasses,) with 24,000 
men. 
The Last Hope Gone. 
The London Times argues from Commander 
M’Clure’s despatch, that there is no hope what¬ 
ever that Sir John Franklin will ever be heard 
from. That paper says : 
. “Commander M’Clure can send us no news of 
Sir John Franklin’s expedition. The opinion 
among the most distinguished Polar worthies 
now is, that Sir John Franklin, after leaving the 
winter quarters where his traces were found, pro¬ 
ceeded to carry out the Admiralty instructions, 
steering first westerly for Melville Island, and 
then shaping a course—as far as the configuration 
of the scene of action permitted — southerly and 
westerly for Behring’s Straits. It is supposed 
that, in endeavoring to carry this purpose into 
effect, the Erebus and Terror were hopelessly 
frozen up or destroyed years ago in some of the 
multitudinous channels which are known or sup¬ 
posed to exist there. 
This we find to be the opinion of the principal 
Arctic navigators, and it comes before us recom¬ 
mended by its extreme probability. Certainly, 
Sir John Franklin was not an officer to leave uu- 
attempted any duty which he had been ordered 
to perform, and therefore it is probable that he 
would not have deviated from the letter of his in¬ 
structions without excellent cause ; had he so de¬ 
viated, it is all but certain that lie would have left 
behind him at Reecliy Island, or elsewhere, some 
record of his changed intention. 
If, then, Commander M’Clure has been unable 
to find any trace of the lost expedition between 
Behring’s Straits and the point from which he 
wrote his despatches, it would appear that our 
best chance has been exhausted. The public have 
a right to expect that we have now seen the last of 
Arctic expeditions. Even Sir John Barrow, had 
he yet been alive, would now have entreated the 
Admiralty to hold their hand.” 
Treasonable Grass— Anarch)* in a new form 
has been discovered aud uprooted in an Austrian 
district on the borders of Switzerland. A com¬ 
missary of gendarmerie was passing bis way 
aloug a garden wall, when be was surprised at 
seeing the name of Kossuth coming out of the 
earth. He was quite overwhelmed at first. The 
commissary rushed for the mayor and examining 
judge. The garden was surrounded with gend¬ 
armes, and the proprietor sent for. The name of 
Kossuth was certainly there, having been sown in 
pepper-grass, and about a week above ground.— 
The proprietor said that he had never noticed 
that the pepper-grass spelt anything; indeed it 
was necessary to retire to a certain distance to ad¬ 
just the eye to the size of the letters. He said 
that his gardener was a Swiss, and that he had 
sown Kossuth in cress, just as he would have 
whistled the “ Ranz dcs Vaclies,” or sworn 1 y the 
Rhone. It was thought in the neighborhood’that 
all Swiss gardeners would be expelled from the 
Austrian territory. 
The Oyster Trade— This is the season of 
harvest in the oyster business. The time inter¬ 
vening between the extremes of warmth and cold, 
either of which is fatal to the oyster, is very short, 
and every exertion is made to improve it.’ Con¬ 
sequently the oyster beds, in all directions, are be¬ 
ing raked ; and numerous vessels, mostly from 
Virginia, are seen discharging their cargoes of 
shell-fish near the markets. A large proportion 
o* those thus landed, are at once put in barrels, in 
the shell, and sent off to Cincinnati, Louisville, 
and other distant parts of the countiy. They sell 
for 90 cents or $ l per hundred. Southern oysters, 
being short-lived, are generally taken out of the 
shell before they are sent away.’ Just at this time 
the beds of Southern oysters planted last Spring 
in the Northern waters, are taken up, according 
to the invariable fashion, as they could not survive 
the cold of this climate. By December the oyster 
business will be more quiet. —iV. Y Jour. Com.

Several Irish girls were induced, in July, last 
year, to leave Belfast for employment at a mill in 
Belgium, by the agent of a German house at Brus¬ 
sels, under promises of cheap living aud hiffii 
wages. They were to have ten shillings a week 
in a town where meat was represented at two¬ 
pence a pound, and eggs two-pence a dozen, aud 
they were to work eleven hours a day. A*des¬ 
patch to Lord Clarendon states that these promi¬ 
ses were broken, aud that the poor girls were over- 
woiked, half-starved, and beaten into the bargain. 
A meeting was held in Belfast, and measures 
taken to bring the girls back to Ireland. 
Catalepsy.— T.he Providence Post savs, about 
three weeks ago, the wife of Mr. Henry Colvin, 
of Coventry, rose in the morning, complaining of 
a pain in her side. She soon fell asleep, or died, 
as supposed. When her friends came to attend 
the funeral, they were struck with the remarkable 
life-like appearance of the corpse, and the funeral 
was deferred. Since then she has laid in the same 
condition, and many have visited Mr. Colvin’s 
house ; none of whom can discover anv si»ns of 
decay. There had been no alteration on Friday, 
21st ult., a period of about three weeks.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Business men in our commercial cities are still co in¬ 
flaming of tight times. A broker in Boston well posted 
in financial matters, writes to us that unless a favorable 
turn begins ere long, there must be a collapse. Specie is 
still moving foreign-ward, tiie steamer Asia having taken 
out on her last trip §680,739, and £220 sterling in specie. 
The latter was in English silver; and of the former, §10,- 
000 was in Mexican dollars, 881,500 in American coin, and 
the balance in bars and ingots. The export of specie from 
New York for October, was 84,758,000 against @2,452,000 
for the same month last year. The net amount of mocey 
at all the Sub-Treasuries and Mims subject to draft,—oil 
the last of October was about 826,000,000. This amount 
is growing less under the depleting process for the re¬ 
demption of U. S. Stocks. The receipts from California 
are small since last reports, although one or two millions 
are said to be on the way. The steamer Daniel Webster 
arrived at. New* York, on the 5th, having on lier manifest 
850,000 in gold. 
The Hermann took out on Saturday last, 85.36,000 in 
specie, and the steamer City of Manchester §130,000 more. 
Total export of specie thus far this year is 821,326,731. 
Several failures are reported in New York. Messrs. 
Dimond & Co., the extensive Sugar Refiners, in Bristol, It. 
I., who failed a few weeks since, are reported to have 
compromised with their creditors, paying to the amount 
of 75 per cent, on their liabilities. Tiie Tribune of Nov. 
5th, says “ We understand that the President of one of 
the largest 5V all-st. Banks, wishing, if possible, to extend 
some relief to the commercial community, made a propo¬ 
sition to ten Wall street Banks to make a simultaneous 
expansion of discounts to a moderate amount. Eight of 
the Banks assented to the proposition, but the Unionand 
Bank of America objecting, the plan was abandoned. It 
is much to be regretted that such was tiie resuit, ns not 
only would the relief, though limited, have been very use¬ 
ful, hut this action on the part of the Batiks would have 
tended to revive that confidence which is at present so 
much needed.” 
The Owego Bank, a Safety Fund Institution, failed a 
few days since, in consequence, it is said, of the suspension 
of Henry Dwigut, Jr. Its capital was 8200,000. The 
Patehin Bank of Buffalo, has also stopped payment. The 
cause of its suspension was brought about by large loans 
to the Buifalo and New York City Railroad, whose affairs 
are embarrassed. Mr. Patchin, President of the Bank, is 
also President of the Road, and has assumed liabilities in 
its behalf. Let those who have none of these hills on hand 
reject them if offered, and let those who have, hold on to 
them until the assets of the banks are ascertained. Brok¬ 
ers and money shavers usually buy up such bills at a great 
discount, and make money by it in the end. 
In the mean time, while the financial sky of the specu¬ 
lator and consumer is overcast, that of the farmer and 
producer brightens daily. The advices per Africa are very 
favorable in regard to breadstuff’s, and the New Y r ork 
market lias advanced consequently 25 to 31c. Y bbl. on 
Hour, and 7 to 10c. V bu. on Wheat, with large demand.

Rochester, Nov. 9, 1853. j 
The markets have again advanced, under the stimulat¬ 
ing effect of the foreign news. The rising prices in Eng¬ 
land and on the Continent, as per last advices by the Africa 
had an immediate effect to enhance our own, although 
buyers have made efforts to moderate prices in consider¬ 
ation of previous high rates. Flour is selling from three 
to five shillings per bbl. above previous quotations. Wheat 
has risen 8 to 10 cents, and corn from 2 to 5 cents. 
Butter is ous or two cents higher; Cheese has advanc¬ 
ed a cent, and Lard half a cent a pound. Poultry is qou- 
ted at a slight decline. 
The bad state of the weather during a portion of the 
past week, has prevented the usual display of activity in 
our streets.

Colonel Manypenny, Commissionar of Indian 
Affairs, who was at Columbus a few days since en 
route to Washington, states that he has held Corn ¬ 
ells with seventeen different nations of Indians in 
Nebraska, and represents that country as over¬ 
estimated in the public mind. Some of the Indi¬ 
an tribes are unwilling to sell any part of their 
lands; others would sell all, while more are ready 
to sell a portion. It is expected that treaties will 
be made early enough to enable Congress, at its 
next session, to organize a new territory. 
Singular Casualty.— A daughter of Michael 
Youngs, aged four and oue-fifth years, of Essex, N. 
J., 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 ex¬ 
amination revealed a piece of the needle one inch 
and quarter long, lying loose in a large collection 
of matter, entirely within the heart’s substance. 
A great conflagration occurred at Green Bay 
on Monday week, by which full half of the town 
was destroyed — embracing thirty buildings.— 
Among these were three large warehouses, the 
United States Hotel, the Advocate office, and a 
large quantity of produce, which was stored ia 
the warehouses. The latter belonged chiefly to 
country merchants. The loss by this fire is stat¬ 
ed at $100,009, only a small portion of which is 
insured. 
ZW The Salt manufacturers of Syracuse have 
resolved to advance the price of fine Salt to ten 
shillings per barrel. They say the advance is 
necessary on account of the high price of wood 
and barrels.

repute, or the agriculturist needing fine cropping, tho¬ 
roughly tested varieties, may rely upon the most careful

Ornamental and Domestic Poultry. 
T HE subscriber having invested a large amount in this 
business, is now prepared to till any orders which lie 
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 be surpassed in 
the world. My Imperial Cochin China Fowls are from 
Col. B. P. Johnson, his stock imported last vear, '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 
ean 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. Jolin-
