Arrival of the Arabia. 
The steamship Arabia, from Liverpool on the 
5th inst., arrived at New York, Nov. 17th. 
It is true that the Turks have crossed the Dan¬ 
ube iu strong force, and occupied Kalafat. 
Br Submarine Telegraph. —Fighting is going 
on briskly at Wallachia. 2,000 Turks appeared 
at Giqugevo, aud fired upon the town. This 
brought on an engagement with a Russian force, 
which was dispatched to the assistance of the 
place. Considerable slaughter ensued. Another 
encounter took place between 4,000 Turks and a 
like number of Russian cavalry, between Kalafat 
and Sotha, when the Russians were forced to fall 
back. 
The Arabia passed, on the 12th, the steamer 
Glasgow, bound east. 
In Carcassia and Baghistan the mountaineers 
have defeated the Russians aud taken some forts. 
There was a talk of opening a Turkish Loan iu 
the United States. The allied fleets were collect¬ 
ing in the sea of Marmora, having been dispersed 
by a storm. 
Great inundations have occurred in the south of 
Ireland, and much damage done at Cork. 
A plot of some kind had been discovered in 
Ticino, Switzerland. 
A naturalized American citizen named Paperi, 
had been kept iu custody by the Austrian officials 
at Aucona, on no charge at all, except the liberty 
of opinion. The U. S. Consul had done what lie 
could, and was met mostly by being put off. The 
man was eventually released, when he was re¬ 
quired to sign a declaration that he would never 
revisit Italy. This he refused to do, aud he is 
still kept under surveillance.

Fanny Fern’s Juvenile Book for the Holidays, 
(Little Ferns for Fanny's Little Friends,) will be 
issued by Derby A Miller about the first of De¬ 
cember/ We have been favored with a perusal of 
the proof sheets, and do not hesitate to say, that 
it is the best ‘ juvenile ’ that has ever come under 
our notice. It is a living book : it is all a-glow 
with wit, humor, pathos, and instruction. Al¬ 
though written in a style which will be irresisti¬ 
bly winning with children, it is no less captiva¬ 
ting to adults ; and we feel an assured conviction 
that Little Ferns will be as popular with the Old 
Folks at Home, as with Fanny's little friends. It 
is got up in elegant style, aud with appropriate 
illustrations: price 75 cents. The orders already 
received (before the work is advertised) demand 
an edition of twenty thousand to start with! —which 
edition, like our ‘ great country,’ will probably be 
‘ continually growing.’— New York Musical 11 orld

Gov. Seymour, has issued his Thanksgiv¬ 
ing Proclamation. Thursday, the 24th inst., is 
designated. The year has been prosperous, and 
the people happy. Our State in particular, has 
enjoyed in a remarkable manner the favor of a 
benignant Providence.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Money matters have assumed a more cheerful aspect in 
our commercial cities, and confidence seems to be again 
restored. There has been but one departure and one ar¬ 
rival of Liverpool steamers since our last; the former, 
the Africa, taking out less than $600,000 in gold, and the 
latter, the Arabia, bringing in news of actual hostilities 
between Russia and Turkey, and a decline iu the English 
market for breadstuff's. No alarm or wavering of finan¬ 
cial confidence was manifested on account of the belliger¬ 
ent news, and panic makers cease to be regarded in Wall 
street. The tight times, the decline in stocks and general 
extravagance, have served to show up several defaulters 
who were unable to carry along the loads under which 
they staggered. A number of the New York banks have 
lately suffered most seriously iu this way, among which 
are the Bank of the State of New Y’ork, $160,000; Bank of 
Slate of New York, bills stolen from the counter, $37,810; 
Bank of Commerce, $80,000; Merchants Bank, .$200,000; 
Metropolitan Bank, $180,000; American Exchange $60,- 
0U0 ; Hanover Bank $26,000. 
The fears manifested in regard to the stability of our 
banks prove to be groundless. Thompson's Reporter 
says:—‘-In answer to a multitude of inquiries about banks, 
we would say only two have failed, viz : the Bank of Mas¬ 
sillon, Ohio, and the Patchin Bank of Buffalo. 
The many rumors about other Banks are all wrong, 
and we do not know where there is a decidedly doubtful 
one. 
The fright, -the pressure, and the danger is over, and 
there is an easy and prosperous future before us.” 
The amount of public debt cancelled last week was up¬ 
wards of half a million of dollars, leaving the total out¬ 
standing obligation of the United States, $57,593,707 52. 
The total imports at New York for the week amounted 
to $2,680,109, of which in round numbers, near $500,000 
were in silks, $340,000 iron, and $250,000 woolen goods. 
Stocks have gone up as the money pressure eases off.—

Rochester, Nov. 23, 1853. J 
Prices seem to have reached a culminating point about 
the time of our last issue, and in some respects have since 
slightly declined, although in most instances tlic recession 
is manifested by a weakness in the markets, rather than 
by any actual decline in price or quotations. The price of 
Wheat may be stated at $1,50@1,53, the latter, however, 
being considered the extreme maximum limit for the very 
best qualities. Flour, price unchanged. Corn is lower 
and sells at 63®65c. 
Butter is plenty and prices tending downward, but as 
yet, no change in quotations. There is a large amount 
moving forward to the eastern markets and prices have 
declined in those cities. 
Poultry is plenty and one cent lower than last week. 
The wool market is weak, and eastern advices seem to 
indicate a lower market, the effect of which is also to pre¬ 
vent a rise in sheep’s pelts, notwithstanding the increased 
value of the staple produced as the season advances. 
Salt is quoted at sixpence per barrel lower.

MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
THE LEADING AMERICAN WEEKLY 
AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AUD FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
The Rural New Yorker is the standard journal of its class in America. This is no vain 
assumption, but fully sustained by its high reputation, great popularity and extensive circulation. 
As has long been acknowledged by its Patrons and the Newspaper Press, it has no superior as an 
AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AMD FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Its leading departments contain more Agricultural, Horticultural, Mechanical, Scientific, Educational, 
Literary and News Matter, than any other paper in the Union — thus rendering it unequalled in 
Variety and Usefulness of Contents. 
Its Literary Department — comprising Tales, Essays, Historical Sketches, Biography, Poetry, 
(Lc.,— is conducted with taste and discrimination, and embraces a carefully prepared variety of 
CHOICE READING FOR THE HOME CIRCLE. 
Aside from the intrinsic value of its Reading Matter, the ample pages of the Rural are interspersed 
with many Appropriate and Costly Engravings— including illustrations in Agriculture, Horticulture, 
Rural Architecture, Science, Biography, Natural History, efec. 
As a Newspaper the Rural New-Yorker is also most valuable, each number containing the 
LATEST AND MOST IMPORTANT NEWS, 
Briefly yet definitely stated—including reliable reports of the Grain, Provision and Cattle Markets, 
(fee. It is independent and out-spoken—condemning humbug and quackery, and fearlessly and 
faithfully advocating the Best Interests of the Rural Population. In judging of it comparatively, 
remember that the Rural New-Yorker is not a monthly, of only twelve issues yearly, but a 
LARGE AND BEAUTIFUL WEEKLY CF FIFTY-TWO NUMBERS! 
The Fifth Volume, commencing Jan., 1854, will be printed on New aud Handsome Type, and 
otherwise materially improved. An actual increase of over Six Thousand Subscribers during the 
past year, stimulates and enables us to make very liberal expenditures to improve the paper in both 
Contents and Appearance. With an able corps of Associate and Corresponding Editors, (five in 
number,) and many talented and experienced Contributors and Correspondents, the Conductor of 
the Rural is determined to render its whole contents eminently Valuable and Interesting. 
.BEr-'stia.TJcsLrsuac _zx&_:yB4x:Ecs» rjssc' muz. .rear ® 
Each number of the Rural New-Yorker comprises Eight Double Quarto Pages (forty col- 
mn s,) printed in the best style. An Index, Title Page, (fee., at the close of each volume. 
Now is the Time to Subscribe and form Clubs to commence with the new year aud volume. 
We confidently anticipate the continued influence of former Agents and active Friends,—while the 
kind offices of all favorably disposed toward the paper, will be gratefully appreciated. 
Specimen numbers, Premium Lists, (fee., sent free to all applicants. Subscription money,

During the past year the Proprietor of the Rural New-Yorker has paid nearly Fifteen Hundred

A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR LABOR 
Olt CAPITAL. 
TATI THIN twenty minutes drive of a great market.— 
V V The subscriber, being desirous of attending to liis 
interests in the mineral region at the West, will sell his 
Farm on the Ridge Road, one mile north of Rochester 
city line, consisting of 130 acres, 30 of which are heavily 
wooded, worth as it stands, one-third of the purchase 
money; with over 600 fruit trees of all the varieties worth 
cultivating, the produce of which when in full bearing, 
will pay the interest of the entire price of the farm. 
The land is in good heart, mostly iu grass, and the 
stumps all out and well fenced. 
There are three Houses and Barns on the premises. 
Having a great traveled road through its centre, and the 
River road on the East, it would cut up to great advant¬ 
age, or might be used for a great Nursery establishment, 
for which it is well adapted. 
If not sold by the first of April, it will be rented for a 
term of years. L. B. LANGWORTHY.

Ornamental anil 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, Sumata, 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 coining 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. 
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¬ 
son. Secretary N. Y. State Agricultural Society, Albany, 
N. Y.; Hon. Ambrose Stevens, N. Y. City; Hon. Lewis F. 
Alien, Black Rock, N. Y.

SAMUEL MOULSON, 
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\, tS.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. 
Peach and Plum pits wanted.
