Arrival of the Africa and the Baltic. 
The two above-named steamers arrived last 
week, the Baltic, which was the latest, reaching 
New York, Jan. 24th. 
There is no news of definite and special im¬ 
portance from Europe. Expectation is on tip¬ 
toe to learn the issue of the peace propositions 
made to Russia. Rumorsofall sorts are flying, 
but the truth is, nothing can be known for some 
time to come, the time of Russia’s decision hav¬ 
ing been extended to Jan. 18th. Nevertheless, 
Berlin and Vienna papers report already advices 
received in those capitals intimating that the 
Czar will make no further concessions. On the 
other hand, it is certain that formal conferences 
are in session at St. Petersburg, discussing the 
proposals, and are attended by Nesselrode, Es- 
terhazy and Sommer. 
The great council of war at St. Petersburg, 
has concluded. It has transpired that Russian 
tactics for the approaching campaign have un¬ 
dergone important modifications. Orders sent 
from headquarters seem to indicate an intention 
to abandon the Crimea. A part of the troops 
having been ordered to reinforce Mourazieff, and 
others to join the grand army of the centre.— 
The waters arc still open, and trade between 
tbe lower Baltic ports and those of Russia is 
carried on with great activity. An American 
ship had arrived at Memel, and was loading 
with hemp and yarn. 
The Emperor Napoleon has again taken the 
idea of assuming actual command of the army, 
and the report goes that he has stated to Gen. 
Bosquet, he should accompany him to Finland 
in the Spring. The British Government is 
much opposed to these intentions. 
The following American vessels engaged by 
the French Government in the transportation of 
troops and materials to the Crimea, are now in 
the docks : Great Republic, Queen of Clippers, 
Monarch of the Sea, Ocean Herald, White Fal¬ 
con and Astoria. 
Markets. —Breadstuff’s active, with a slight 
advance. Western Canal flour 41sa42s ; Ohio 
43sa44s ; Southern 42sa43s. White wheat 11s 
9d; Red Tennessee 10salls3d. White corn 48s, 
yellow 42s 6d, mixed 42s. 
Beef firm. Pork and Bacon unchanged. Lard 
wanted—market cleared at G8sa68s 6d. 
California Intelligence. 
Arrival of the Daniel Webster. 
The steamer Daniel Webster arrived at New 
Orleans on the 25th of Jan., from San Juan, with 
California dates to the 5th ult. 
She reported the Star of the West sailed from 
San Juan for New York with $600,000 in gold 
dust. A severe shock of an earthquake had 
been experienced. The news from the mines is 
encouraging. Rich diggings had been discov¬ 
ered on the American river. 
Trade was dull, and breadstuff's quiet. 
Oregox, Dec. 20.—Nothing has been heard of 
Col. Kinney’s party, which had gone to attack 
the Indians. 
George W. Clark, the American. Consul at 
Lakaina, is dead. 
Nicaragua, Dec. 22.—Walker is receiving ac¬ 
cessions by the arrival of every steamer, and 
has now quite an effective force. 
Provincial Items. 
The St. Mary’s Journal says the thermometer 
at that place recently was 22 deg. below zero. 
Mr. McMicken, at Elgin, C. W., is said to be 
Postmaster, Cashier of the Zimmerman Bank, 
Collector of Customs, and holds four or five 
other offices. 
The Stratford Beacon states that the gravel 
roads of the country were recently leased by 
auction. The total yearly rental for 1856 
amounts to £2,194, against £2,072 for 1855, be¬ 
ing an increase of £122. 
The St. John (N. B.) Courier says an ar¬ 
rangement has been made by which only two 
steamers (the Adelaide and Admiral) will be 
run between that port and Boston the coming 
season, making three trips per week. 
A few days since a beggar walked into the 
office of Mr. Beddome, in London, C. W., with a 
petition written on a green pasteboard, and be 
ing refused relief, was about making his exit, 
when perceiving that he was in an exchange 
office, he coolly pulled out a handful of silver, 
and asked Mr. Beddome to accommodate him 
with gold ! 
The Hamilton papers say : — Our streets and 
housetops are so covered with snow, that any 
considerable addition to it must necessarily im 
pede all traffic, if it does not bring our houses 
about our ears. And if we should live to see 
the thaw—oh, won’t there be an inundation 
We understand those who live in the neighbor 
hood of the ‘ mountain,’ are preparing for the ap 
proaching flood by removing all their goods and 
chattels on account of the condition of the drains. 
A correspondent of the Toronto Leader, wri 
ting from Whitby Jan. 16, says :—“An exciting 
as well as amusing adventure occurred here 
During the fall several bears had made their 
appearance in the neighborhood, and to-day 
whether pressed by hunger or in search of ad 
venture, one of them appeared in our streets, 
His arrival caused a great sensation, and dogs 
and guns were in instant demand. On being 
attacked, bruin at first showed fight, but one or 
two shots being fired, he took to flight through 
the streets, upsetting all that came in his way, 
spreading terror and confusion in his career, but 
was finally brought to bay and killed.” 
Generous Appreciation. 
During the past month we have been so ex¬ 
ceedingly busy that we could neither find time 
to invite our friends ot the Press to examine the 
Rural and notice it if worthy, nor peruse their 
comments upon its contents and appearance.— 
It appears, however, that no invitation was 
necessary, as hosts of our contemporaries have 
been saying all sorts of clever and complimen¬ 
tary things about said Rural — for one of our 
assistants, who “reads the papers,” has just 
handed us a large number of “choice extracts ” 
which he avers we will find interesting, and 
highly creditable to the good judgment and 
discrimination of their authors. In this opinion 
we are disposed to concur; and as they treat 
upon a matter in which most of our readers are 
interested—and, moreover, as we dislike to spoil 
a good thing for relation’s sake, or on account of 
personal allusions—we will, confidentially of 
course, quote a few of the items as samples of 
the “large and excellent assortment 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker. —No. 1 of the seventh volume 
of the Rural has been received. It is a perfect typographical 
luxury. What a relief in this age of half-printed sheets and 
ephemeral journals to take up a paper like the New-Yorker, 
teeming with originality, pure morals, and useful reading. It 
is uniquo and beautiful in conception, printed on type most 
welcome to the eye of the general reader, and is replete with 
good things for the fireside circle ; to the farmer it is legitimate 
authority. We quote liberally from its columns, for by so do¬ 
ing we pay a merited compliment to its editor, and confer a 
personal favor on our patrons. To wish the Rural a measure 
of success commensurate with its ability, is simply asking ev¬ 
ery family in the country to have a copy on the mantel-piece.— 
Vergennes ( Vt.J Citizen. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker.— We have had time, the past 
week, to give this popular and unique weekly agricultural pa¬ 
per a pretty general examination. In appearance, it is tasteful 
and exceedingly elegant. The mind is charmed as it runs over 
its pages, so bright and attractive do they appear. Rut this is 
not all which recommends the paper. Its reading is chaste and 
informing, while its departments throughout are well sustained. 
The Rural is the impersonation of energy, with tact, power, 
and perseverance, from first to last—an engine driven by forces 
which never tire. This is not a random notice. Tex Thousand 
subscribers in one week speaks something towards the univer¬ 
sal popularity of the paper. If it did not possess more than 
usual attractions, it would not movo the foundation of pockets 
the extent which it docs.—Buffalo Christian Advocate. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker, is a weekly sheet of large 
size, issued in the best style of art, beautifully illustrated and 
ably conducted. It is ardently devoted to the agricultural in¬ 
terests of the country, and, though characteristically a farm I 
journal, its literary and miscellaneous departments make it a 
complete family newspaper. It is a model of its class, and we 
cordially recommend it to our rural readers— rainesvitlc ( O.) Ad. 
This is probably the best family paper for fanners in the 
United States. Its variety and usefulness are hard to surpass; 
its editors possess the quality to select the very articles which 
will prove interesting to every one.—Am. Eagle, [Cainb'dge, Md.] 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker commences the year with a 
new volume (the seventh) and a new dress. Its appearance is 
healthy and buoyant — precisely what we have a right to look 
for in a Rural New-Yorker. Mr. Moore has succeeded in es¬ 
tablishing a very valuable paper, eminently practical in its 
character and pure in its tone. lie deserves abundant success, 
and is achieving it — N. Y. Daily Times. 
The Rural New-Yorker is one of our most valued ex¬ 
changes. A great deal of labor is expended on its pages, and 
it numbers among its contributors some of the ablest agricultu- j 
rists and scientific writers of the Empire State. Its educational 
and literary departments are always full of interest, and its 
news department contains a well-prepared digest of the events 
of the day .—Canada Christian Advocate. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker appears in a new and beauti. 
ful dress, at the commencement of the new year, and with an 
increased corps of Editors and Special Contributors. It begins 
the year with an edition of 50,000, and it has attained its present 
unexampled prosperity by boing the list agricultural paper in 
the world .—Dansvillc Herald. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker is an unique journal, beauti¬ 
ful in execution, diversified in matter, and in all respects relia¬ 
ble as an Agricultural and Family newspaper. We were in the 
office for a period, and know that immense labor is expended in 
its preparation. The masses have no more valuable, intellec¬ 
tual caterer than the indefatigable and gentlemanly Proprietor 
and Editor-in-chief. The Rural is the Household Words of 
America.— People’s Museum, Edinboro, Pa. 
- These must suffice', for the present at least, 
though we have an abundance of similar notices. 
The numerous friends who are thus voluntarily 
exhibiting their appreciation of the Rural New- 
Yorker, will please accept heartfelt acknowl¬ 
edgments, with the assurance that it will con¬ 
tinue to be our constant aim and earnest endeavor 
to merit the commendation so generously be¬ 
stowed in all quarters, by both Press and People.

descriptive scenes, it is true, but for quiet, absorbing and, as far 
as a landsman can judge, faithful accounts of life on shipboard, 
commend us to this anonymous author.— N. Y. Tribune.

MOOItE’S KURAL NEW-YORKER, 
THE LEADING WEEKLY 
Agricultural, Literary and Family Newspaper. 
“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 simitar Journal in the World / Consid¬ 
ering it unnecessary to give a Prospectus in this connection, we 
will only say that our determination is to make the Seventh 
Volume, for 1856, in all respects unequalled as an Agricultu¬ 
ral, Literary and Family Newspaper. Non-subscribers 
into whose hands this number may fall, are respectfully invited 
to give it an examination, and compare its style, contents, Ac., 
with those of other journals. AH readers, whetlier subscribers 
or not, are referred to Premium List below, and Special Notices 
on last page—with the assurance that any aid they may render 
toward extending the circulation and usefulness of the Rural 
in their respective localities, will (in addition to the more sub¬ 
stantial remuneration offered,) be gratefully appreciated.

The pulse of the market still beats in favor of buyers. No 
actual further decline is noted in wheat and flour, although the 
highest sale of Canadian reported is at $2,05. The latest news 
by the Baltic reports foreign markets more active. The coarser 
grains are declining in price. A few lots of corn have been sold 
within a few days at 75 cents, but this may be considered the 
extreme upper limit. Tho outside price of barley is §1,1 2ff,. 
We know of a load of prime barley sold yesterday at §1,07.— 
Buckwheat is lower 5 cents; oats as previously quoted. 
Butter is one cent cheaper, and more freely offered. No other 
changes worthy of notice.
