MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND PAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
35 
Arrival of the America. 
Tiik Steamship America arrived at Halifax, 
Jan. 16. There is no news of an official charac¬ 
ter with respect to the peace negociations, but 
there is evidently from quarters usually well 
informed, a growing impression that negotia¬ 
tions will not terminate in a satisfactory man¬ 
ner. Count NTesselrode has addressed a circu¬ 
lar note to the Representative of Russia, at the 
chief Foreign Courts, dated St. Petersburg, Dec. 
22d. In this note it is stated that Russia ac¬ 
cepts the third Point relative to the neutraliza¬ 
tion of the Black Sea in the following sense :— 
That Turkey’s right to close the Straits, be 
maintained ; that no ship-of-war be admitted to 
the Black Sea, excepting those of Russia and 
Turkey ; that the number of ships to be so 
maintained be mutually arranged by Russia and 
Turkey, and that it be ratified by a direct spe¬ 
cial treaty between the two powers without the 
interference of other nations. This interpreta¬ 
tion the allies consider to be inadmissible. 
From Sweden the accounts are very warlike. 
Commanders have received instructions, marked 
private, to refuse leave of absence and to have 
regiments in the highest state of efficiency ere 
spring. Military and navy and naval manu¬ 
factories work incessantly, and indicate that in 
accordance with the secret article of the treaty, 
Sweden will openly take the field with the 
allies in the spring. She has on hand some 
millions of thalers, surplus revenue, which is to 
be devoted to the equipment of the army and 
navy. 
The Danish Government is reported to have 
consented to the establishment of depots and 
stores for the English fleet, at Kiel, to rendez¬ 
vous there in April. 
The Crimea. —GortscliakofF reports, Dec. 16 , 
sorties of Cossacks defeated a strong squadron 
of Gen. Vivians’ Anglo-Turkish cavalry near 
Kertsch. The English commander and 47 men 
were taken prisoners. 
A letter from Kalisch, of the 25th ult., in the 
American Gazette, says : According to the 
latest accounts from the Crimea, the Russian 
troops have been reinforced by two regiments of 
Hussars. 
A letter from Odessa, of the 21 st ult., to the 
Austrian Gazette, says : Large bodies of troops 
are marching from the Crimea into Bessarabia. 
There is not, however, any intention of evacuat¬ 
ing the former, as their places will be filled by 
other troops from the reserve, and by the militia. 
Gen. Gortschakoff will, it is said, be replaced 
in the Crimea by Count Osten Sacken. The 
former will resume the command of the troops 
on the Danube. 
The allied gun boats which remained at Ivil- 
burn had been frozen in,- and all the efforts 
made to release them have hitherto been fruit¬ 
less. 
Asia. —The Russian Gen. Sasloff took posses¬ 
sion of the defiles of Hassan Kalet as soon as 
Selim Pasha retreated to Erzeroum. The greater 
part of the Russian army will muster at Kars. 
Intelligence from Constantinople of the 24th 
ult-., states that many persons had already quit¬ 
ted Erzeroum, deeming that it would be attack¬ 
ed by the Russian army. Those persons had 
sought refuge at Trebizonde. 
The “ Invalide” Ilusse, publishes a procla¬ 
mation by Gen. Mourazoff calling the entire 
population of Imerelia, Guriel and Mingerdia 
to wage a war of extermination against the 
enemies of the Cross. It is this measure which 
it is supposed to have induced Omar Pasha to 
retreat. 
Russia. —The Czar had ordered the command¬ 
ant of Finland in the Baltic Provinces to report 
means of defence to the Grand Council of War 
now in session at St. Petersburg. Contracts arc 
advertised for immense quantities of artillery 
and stores. Hew rifle regiments are being en¬ 
rolled. Emancipation is offered as a bribe to 
serfs, while restrictions imposed by the Czar 
Nicholas have been repealed. 
The publication of the Austrian “ Concordat” 
is prohibited in Russia, lest it should cause re¬ 
ligious discontent. The Czar also issued a de¬ 
cree conferring on peasants the right to possess 
property in Poland. Personal serfdom is to be 
replaced by an annual payment. Three years 
are allowed for the complete execution of the 
decree. 
Arrival of the Washington. 
The steamer Washington, from Bremen and 
Southampton, arrived at New York Jan. 21.— 
She brings London dates of the 5th inst. There 
is nothing of special importance. 
Liverpool Breadstuffs. —Brown, Shipley & 
Co. quote flour dull. Western Canal 40s 6d@ 
41s ; Ohio 43s@43s 8d ; Philadelphia and Bal¬ 
timore 42@42s 6d. Wheat unchanged and in 
limited demand. White lls8d@12s; red 10s 
8d@lls Id. Corn dull of sale and with little 
speculative demand. White 48s ; yellow 42s(3) 
42s 6d. 
Liverpool Provision’ Market. —Beef improv¬ 
ed, demand at rather lower rates. Pork quiet 
and unchanged. 
Expensive Luxuries. 
It is a great comfort to the British people to 
possess a Royal Family. Not to speak of the 
millions which are paid to the Queen, the fol¬ 
lowing annuities do sound very burthensome. 
They were paid in the last fiscal year ;—To Her 
Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, $80,- 
000 ; the Trustees of His Royal Highness Leo¬ 
pold George, King of the Belgians, $250,000; 
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, $150- 
000 ; Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cam¬ 
bridge, $30,000 ; His Royal Highness Prince 
Albert, $150,000; Her Royal Highness the 
Princess Augusta the Duchess of Mecklenburg 
Strelitz, $15,000 ; His Royal Highness the Duke 
of Cambridge, $60,000 ; Her Royal Highness 
the Princess of Cambridge, $15,000 ; His Serene 
Highness the Prince of Mecklenburg Strelitz, 
$8,941 82. 
The Archbishops and Bishops of England are 
beloved by Bull next to the blood regal. But 
that they are awfully expensive, the following 
list of annual salaries returned to Parliament 
will show :—To the Archbishop of Canterbury, 
$185,000 ; Archbishop of York, $50,000 ; Bishop 
of Durham, $85,000 ; Bishop of London, $70,000; 
Bishop of Winchester, $70,000 ; Bishop of Ely’ 
$60,000 ; nine others on an average, $25,000 ; 
the rest on an average $15,000. 
Cost of a Fashionable Church. 
According to the New York Observer, one 
hundred dollars a Sunday is about the expense 
of a fashionable church in Boston, while in New 
York the expense is not far from five times that 
sum. The expenditures of one church in that 
city foots up as follows : 
The church, parsonage, library, Ac., the cost, 
in round numbers, $200,000; the annual inter¬ 
est of which sum, at 7 per cent, is $14,000 ; the 
pastor’s salary is $4,000; that of his assistant 
is $500; the presents annually given to the pas¬ 
tor, do not average less than $500 , presents to 
his assistant, say $5 ; the singing, with the sala¬ 
ry of the organist, repairs of the organ, and wa¬ 
ges of the blower, costs very nearly, $1,000 ; the 
cost of cleaning, including the salary of the 
sexton, will average about $900 a year; the an¬ 
nual depreciation in value of building and its 
contents, by use and time, may be computed at 
$1,000. 
The cost, therefore, of maintaining the church 
for one year, is over $21,000 and exceeds four 
hundred and twenty dollars for each Sunday. 
Going Down. —Real estate in San Francisco 
appears to have taken a long step downwards. 
It is stated that the Union Hotel, rented three 
years ago for $96,000 per annum, now rents for 
$12,000, and that the general depreciation is 
one-half or more and has not yet reached the 
lowest point.

Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, January 23, 1856. $ 
The tendency of the market is still downward both domestic 
and foreign. The news from Europe by the America quotes 
breadstuffs duller, and our own markets respond to those ([no¬ 
tations. Flour with us was reduced a quarter of a dollar per 
barrel last week, while wheat remained as before. This week 
wheat is put down correspondingly, and is now quoted, Gene¬ 
see at $1,50(5)1,75, and Canadian $1,95@2,08. Oats are a cent 
on the bushel lower. Com was bought yesterday at 70 cents, 
but comes in slowly at that figure. 
Meats, and especially Pork, are lower, $7,50 being the extreme 
upper limit for extra hogs. Poultry is scarce and high, chick¬ 
ens selling to the trade at 10c, and Turkeys 12,2c. 
Salt is scarce, none being offered at wholesale, but the retail 
price per barrel is $2. There are no further changes to note.

A Man and ms Bottle Dug Out of the 
Snow —Some men were recently engaged in 
clearing the snow from the sidewalk near Hoe’s 
foundry, N. V,, and after digging away a bank 
of several feet in depth, much to their surprise 
they came across a man sleeping quietly beside 
his bottle. Ho had taken lodging on the walk 
the evening previous, and got snowed over.— 
His breath had melted a hole through the snow, 
and thus lie was furnished with fresh air. A 
touch of the snow shovel brought him to con¬ 
sciousness, when lie got up and walked off, tak¬ 
ing his faithful companion with him.— N. Y. 
Express. 
Cotton on the Levee. —To give some idea of 
the immense amount of produce on the levee, we 
are assured by those who are well informed on 
the subject, that of cotton alone there are be¬ 
tween 40,000 and 50,000 bales lying there, not¬ 
withstanding the large quantities constantly 
being carried to the presses. The value of this 
alone is over $2,000,000, and the epithet “ richly 
laden” applied to the levee, would therefore be 
a long way from the hyperbolical .—New Orleans 
Picayune.

Indians shot by the brave woman.

THE LARGEST NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD. 
With its recent enlargement, the New York Observer en¬ 
ters upon its thirty-fourth volume, not only the largest religious 
paper, but the largest newspaper in the world. It is published 
weekly, and devoted to religious and secular intelligence of 
every variety. Its sheet is arranged so as to constitute two 
perfect newspapers, one religious, and one secular. It is not sec¬ 
tarian in religion nor partisan in politics, but designed for a 
pleasant and instructive companion in every Evangelical Chris¬ 
tian Family'. 
In addition to its long tried editorial corps, its columns are 
enriched by some of the best writers of this country, and by 
able correspondents in all the principal Countries of the World. 
Its secular part has now departments of Agriculture, of Science 
and of Commerce, the last embracing a full and accurate report 
of the money', produce, cattle, and other markets up to the time 
of going to press. 
The conductors intend to spare no effort or expense to make 
it as it always has been, unsurpassed by any other journal.

Cross-Cut and Circular Saw-Mill Combined, received the First 
Premium at the Xew York State Fair, at Elmira, 1855. 
This new and useful Machine, (for cut, see first page,) is made 
strong and durable, and is very simply constructed, requiring 
little skill to operate it, and is not liable to get out of order. It 
can be driven by any of the ordinary Horse Powers used in 
threshing. The saws can be both used at one time, or separate¬ 
ly, as may be desired. In sawing wood, the limbs and small 
trees can be cut with the circular saw, while the cross-cut is 
sawing the bodies of the larger trees ; it is useful in sawing bar¬ 
rel heading, stave and shingle bolts, slitting fence stuff', boring 
caps, and a variety of other purposes for which such machines 
are employed. The prices are as follows, delivered at the seve¬ 
ral places of shipment in Rochester : 
Combined Machine, with one circular and one Cross-cut Saw, 
$75 : Single Machine, with one Cross-cut Saw, $35 ; Double do, 
two Cross-cut Saws, $50, Cap Augur Attachment, extra; Circu¬ 
lar Saw and Table, $40 : Emery’s Patent Railroad Horse-Power 
for 2 horses, $!20 ; Do. Threshing Machine and Separator, $10 ; 
Hall's 8 or 10 Horse-Power, $110 ; Slitting arrangement, from $7 
to $10 according to the size of the Saw. 
The combined Saw Mill is capable of cutting from 30 to 40 
cords of stove wood per day, if properly driven. It is warrant¬

“EXCELSIOR” has ever been the motto, and “Progress 
and Improvement” the Objects, of Moore’s Rural New- 
Yorker, and by truly and continuously manifesting their up¬ 
ward and onward spirit it has attained a larger circulation than 
any other Agricultural or similar Journal in the World / Consid¬
