MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
j/ebs 
Arrival of the Steamship Europa. 
The Europa, from Liverpool, arrived at New 
York, Dec., 6 . She lefr, on the 17th and experi¬ 
enced very heavy weather during the passage 
The news from the seat of war is very contra¬ 
dictory. Reports of the Turkish and Russian de¬ 
feats are about equally balanced. 
The Sultan officially announces that he will 
himself take the field at the head of his army in 
the spring. 
A new note is said to be proposed, but neither 
the Czar or the Sultan will listen to it. 
The course that Britain will take is kept secret. 
Direct French correspondondence says that Na¬ 
poleon is amassing troops between Strausburg 
and Marseilles, so that he can send off, in less 
than five days if necessary, 100,000 men for for¬ 
eign service. 
LATEST. 
The report that the Turks had recrossed the 
Danube at all points except Kalafat—which they 
s ill retained and have strongly fortified—is con¬ 
firmed from Hermstadt. 
They retired without battle. Some grand 
movement is in contemplation, which the passage 
of the Danube has in the meantime served to 
mask. 
France has formally announced to Austria that 
if she gives refuge to armed Russians, retreating 
from the Turks, France will regard it as a decla¬ 
ration of War. 
Vienna letters of the 14th say that the Turks 
had attacked Gallertz and Braila. Former ad¬ 
vices mention that they were moviug on both 
places. 
The Russians are sending their sick and 
wounded to Kircheneau, a town.of Bessardon, 
Moldavia being insufficient to contain them. 
The mails at Liverpool on the morning of the 
Europa’s sailing, would indicate that there had 
been a good deal of fighting wherever the posts 
of the two armies came in contact, but without 
any result of importance. 
Reinforcements were hurrying along to the 
Russians, and additional levies continue to anive 
at the Turkish camp. 
If the season will permit operations of magni¬ 
tude, assaults are to be made upon the Russian 
army, which being much extended, is quite vul¬ 
nerable. 
The Island opposite Guirgero has been the 
scene of severe contests. It has been taken and 
retaken several times by both sides, and at pres¬ 
ent remains in the hands of the Turks.

jrgp There are some exceedingly stylish turn 
outs now to be seen about San Francisco. 'The 
horses are brought over the plains, and the car¬ 
riages ;*re imported from New York, at an ex¬ 
pense of four hundred dollars for freight alone. 
It costs three hundred dollars a month to keep a 
pair of horses in the Pacific metropolis. The 
hackney carriages are thirty in number ; and the 
regular charge, five dollars an hour. 
JrifpA slave, once the property of Blennerhas- 
set, is now living on the plantation of Capt. Scotr, 
near Jefferson, Texas. He was on Blennerhasset 
Island when the militia were sent to arrest his 
master, and remembers the incident well. He 
describes Aaron Burr as being the finest gentle¬ 
man he ever saw, and says, “white women in these 
days can’t come up to what Airs. Blennerhasset 
was.” 
5 >:?§r The first bell in Haverhill, Mass., was 
purchased m 1781 ; before that time there was a 
singular substitute, as appears by a vote passed 
in 1630—“ That Abraham Tyler blow his horn 
half an hour before meeting time on Lord’s day, 
and on lecture days, and receive one pound of 
pork annually for his services, from each family.” 
KUT’The propeller Independence, Capt. John 
McKay, left her dock at the head of Portage river 
on the evening of the 21 st ult, with a heavy 
freight of winter supplies for Ontauagon and La- 
poiute, and a large number of passengers. When 
about a mile out her boiler burst, tearing the boat 
to atoms, and killing four persons. 
(Eg*The' proprietors of the Cumberland Iron 
Works, on Cumberland river, Tennessee, have en¬ 
gaged the services of twenty Chinese Coolies as 
iron workers. They are expected to arri ve shortly 
at Cincinnati, from whence they will be for¬ 
warded to their destination. It is stated that the 
Chinese are very expert in working iron. 
A despatch was transmitted from New 
Orleans to New York, Dec. 3d, in a single circuit 
over the wires of the National Telegraph. The 
distance is over 2,000 miles. It is usual to break 
the circuit into relays of four or five hundred 
miles each, as the electric current becomes too 
weak to work the instrument a greater distance. 
Returns from the supplementary election 
in Massachusetts, for Representatives in the towns 
which before failed to make a choice, indicate an 
increased whig majority. The House now stands 
197 whigs to 11 democrats and 100 coalitionists. 
Whig majority over all others, 86 . 
2 ^” Three men from Philadelphia shot a bear 
in Jersey, about forty miles from that city, while 
hunting on Thanksgiving day. The bear turned 
upon Mr. Loomis after being wounded, when a 
ball, fired by Mr. Williams, saved the latter from 
a rough encounter. 
2 ^” The Internal Trade of the United States 
is a source of vast public and private wealth, al¬ 
most surpassing belief. It now amounts, Lake 
and Western River trade, to about five hundred 
millions a year, and nearly eleven millions of our 
people are directly interested in its prosperity. 
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Buffalo has 
addressed a letter to the congregation of St. Louis, 
in that city, threatening to excommunicate them if 
they do ndt conform to the decision of the Papal 
Nuncio, and deliver their church property iuto 
his hands. 
On Sunday of last week, the body of Mrs. 
Margaret Fisher was buried at Liverpool village, 
and the grave was robbed the same night. Sus¬ 
picion rests on the students of Syracuse Medical 
College,—one has been arrested, and warrants are 
out for more. 
Five vessels arrived at New York Dec. 2d, 
from Europe, bringing in the aggregate 1,969 pas¬ 
sengers ; and there were only s’x deaths out of 
the whole number during the passage. These 
being on twoof the vessels, the others "not having 
had a single death. 
2 ^” The Governor of South Carolina, in his 
Message to the Legislature, recommends them to 
support the President, as he is “ a fair exponent of 
South Carolina principles !” This, in many quar¬ 
ters, will be regarded as a somewhat of doubtful 
compliment. 
2 ^“ U is said tliat when the Emperor of Rus¬ 
sia refused the cushion offered to him at Olmutz 
to kneel on, at the religious service, he said, “ I 
am dust like other men, and I shall return to dust. 
Before God and the Church all men are equal.” 
At a public sale of slaves in Charleston, a 
few days since, a girl of sixteen was sold for $770, 
one of eighteen for $970, and one of twenty for 
$760 ; a man of forty, a laborer, brought $770. 
and a boy of eighteen, apprentice to a tailor, $900. 
£§F" It is understood that, Air. Guthrie will 
propose a reduction of duties to the extent of 
$7,600,000 by adding to the free list to that 
amount. Salt, which now pays 20 per cent., and 
yields $ 200 , 000 , is put in the free list. 
KW’Three Cattaraugus Indians walked into 
Buffalo Creek through tins Draw of a Bridge that 
had been left open. The night was dark." Two 
of the men were drowned. The third clung to the 
abutment of the Bridge. They were brothers. 
23 ^“A freight train of seventy-five cars ran 
over a cow near Whitehall, Dec. 3d, throwing the 
engine and several cars from the track. The en¬ 
gineer, Mr. AIcMullen, was killed, and two cars 
full of hogs were pitched into the canal. y- 
2 ^”A white woman, a milliner, of industrious 
habits, and having a large family, was convicted 
last week, at Charleston, of larceny, and sen¬ 
tenced to be imprisoned two months, and to re¬ 
ceive one lash on the bare back. 
2 ^“It appears by Comptroller Flagg’s Report 
that the expeuses of the city government in New 
York, during the preseut year, are expected to 
reach $3,600,000—or an average of about $6 for 
each inhabitant. 
23 gTA negro in Petersburg!!, Va., took up and 
“ toted ” on his shoulder a hogshead of tobacco 
from the depot to the Centre Warehouse. It 
weighed 385 pounds. The Southside Democrat 
says this is a fact. 
2 ^” The Sandwich Islands are quiet again. 
The people are reported satisfied with the change 
of the Ministry. The Annexation feeling is slow¬ 
ly gaining ground, but makes no premature de¬ 
monstration. 
Iff Gen. Lano, late Governor of New Mexico, 
has gone to Washington for the purpose of con¬ 
testing the seat of Padre Gallegoe, the newly 
elected delegato from New Alexieo. 
The Newark Advertiser states that a grave 
stone recently cut at one of the establishments in 
that city, has at the top a daguerreotype of the 
deceased person neatly set in the stone. 
The Portland Advertiser is informed that 
7,000,000 feet of lumber, having been brought 
down by the fall freshets, are now lodged at the 
Bonney Eagle boom, on the Saco river.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
The money market is very quiet and easy just at pres¬ 
ent. There does not seem to be any exciting cause 
operating cither to advance or depress the funds; and the 
unusual long interval which has elapsed since the arrival 
of a foreign steamer, and the hourly expected coming of 
the Europa, now several days due, tend to hold in equi¬ 
poise the financial scale. 
The California steamer Prometheus which arrived on 
the same day with the Illinois, but at a later hour, brought 
in addition to the latter’s invoice, a million and a half in 
gold; making two and a half millions by the two arrivals. 
The steamship Arabia, which sailed for Liverpool, Nov. 
30, took out $672,000 in specie. 
The weekly statement of the New York hanks shows a 
continuance of the expanding movement of the loans and 
discounts of another million, making two millions from 
the lowest point. The deposits also continue to increase, 
being twelve hundred thousand dollars larger than in the 
previous statement. 
We learn from the Now York Times that the amount 
of imports of foreign merchandize at that port, for the 
month of November, was $12,130,385, being an increase 
over those during the same period of iast year of $3,774,- 
585. The total imports at New York for eleven months 
of the present year, reach the very large figure, in round 
numbers, of 8177,000,000, being an increase over the same 
period of iast year of near $60,000,000. 
The exports of domestic produce for November were 
$7,489,437; increase this year of about $4,000,COO. Total 
for the eleven months, to Dee. 1st, $51,422,000. Export 
of specie for the some time $23,627,000. Deposite at the 
mint for coinage, 848,131,000. Every branch of industry, 
domestic and foreign, has been stimulated to unusual ac¬ 
tivity during the year, and commercial transactions have 
increased enormously with a prospect of still further and 
an indefinite extension. 
Since the above was in type a telegraphic despatch, an¬ 
nounces the arrival of the steamer Europa, but with no 
news to vary essentially the present aspect of things ex¬ 
cept an advance in breadstuffs.

Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, Dee. 6, 1853. j 
The steamer Europa arrived to-day, and her news an¬ 
nounces another advance in breadstuffs abroad. The con¬ 
sequence is a corresponding advance in our own market, 
and wheat may now he quoted at $1,5S@1,58, with very 
little in the market at that. Flour will probably also he 
higher, although no change of quotations is made to-day. 
Oats are two cents higher than last quotations and cannot 
be bought probably under 44c. 
Beef and Pork are lower, and the market dull. Sellers 
seem to he more plentiful than buyers in the present 
warm and wet state of the weather, and some lots of infe¬ 
rior quality have gone begging for a purchaser. 
Butter, with us, is full up to prices warranted by the 
eastern market, and may be quoted from 16 to 18e. 
The canal is still open and th e water full banks, afford¬ 
ing an uninter rupted navigation, but boats are to a great 
extent withdrawn, and laid up for the season. Very few 
clearances are made from this point.

a retired Physician. 
[Fro.u the Rochester Daily Advertiser.] 
The Old Doctor has been received. The New York 
press speak in terms of flattering commendation of this 
book, and we have no doubt, justly. 
The author prefaces an introduction chapter by saying, 
“ The following narratives are brief sketches of scenes 
that have actuallv come under the observation of an emi- 
2d. FIVE DOLLARS, in Books, or four extra copies ot nent Physician of this city, in the course of a long and ex¬ 
tensive practice.” The public do not require to he re¬ 
minded, for every one knows from experience, that to 
bound volume of the Rural for 1853, to every person re- I the Physician the most secret thoughts of the heart are 
laid hare, in the hours of sickness, danger and death, and 
he thus necessarily becomes acquainted with those pecu¬ 
liar idiosyncrasies of the human mind which are sealed 
to most other men. We have no doubt the book will 
prove of marked interest, and will add, that it is neatly 
printed and beautifully illustrated.
