Arrival of the Steamer Persia. 
The steamship Persia, Capt. Harrison, from 
Liverpool, Jan. 26th, arrived at Hew York Feb. 
9. The buckets of the Persia, now in the North 
iver,-are badly smashed, and show a hard time 
of it coming over, she having been two days in 
the ice. The steamer Pacific sailed three days 
before the Persia. . .v'-S 
Seat of War. —From Sebastopol accounts are 
to the 9th of January. There had been much 
snow. The cannonade from the northern forts 
continued, and was replied to at intervals by 
the Allies. Two more of the docks had been 
blown up. 
The Persia brings intelligence of further 
progress towards peace. The acceptance of the 
Austrian propositions had been published offi¬ 
cially at St. Petersburg!!. The announcement 
states that the chief condition is the neutraliza¬ 
tion of the Black Sea, to be secured by a treaty 
between Russia and Turkey — Russia being 
ready to discuss the other points. Orders have 
been transmitted to the Russian army in the 
Crimea, to cease all further hostilities until the 
result of the approaching negotiations be known. 
The Courrier de Havre states that an order from 
Paris, dated the afternoon of the 22d, directed 
that the lading of ships intended for the Crimea 
shall be provisionally suspended. 
The Clayton-Bulwer Treaty.—A good deal 
of attention has been fixed on this Treaty, 
which figures so largely in the President’s 
Message, and it is gratifying to observe that 
the whole of the British Press, without an ex¬ 
ception, which has discussed the subject, have 
arrived at the conclusion that such a miserable 
bone of contention is beneath the dignity of 
embroiling the two Nations. 
Latest. —The London Daily News of Satur¬ 
day, Jan. 26th (the day of sailing) learns, ou 
undoubted authority, that preliminaries of the 
treaty will be signed probably before Tuesday, 
certainly before the meeting of Parliament. An 
armistice will be concluded immediately after 
the signing of preliminaries ; and negotiations, 
with a view to a final comprehensive treaty, 
will be commenced immediately. It further 
learns that it is the determinat ion of the Allied 
Powers to exercise, to the full extent, the right 
reserved to them by the 5th article of the Aus¬ 
trian proposals, to bring forward additional stip¬ 
ulations for the general interests of Europe.— 
Dispatches from Berlin states, that the peace 
proposals were strongly supported at St. Peters- 
burgh by Holland. 
These favorable indications have given an 
increased advance and firmness to the funds, 
English and Continental. In Turkish especial¬ 
ly, speculation has been extremely active. 
Liverpool Markets. —Breadstuffs have some¬ 
what recovered from the sudden depression. 
Wheat closed with a rather improved demand, 
at about 10s. I0d.@lls. 3d. for red, and 11s. 9d. 
@l2s. for white 70 lbs. Flour was of slow 
sale and rather cheaper, say 31s. 6d.@41s. Gd. 
Indian corn had lost the buoyancy it had in the 
early part of the week, and closed lower; mixed 
38s.@38s. Gd. $) 450 lbs. 
Provisions. —Beef had been sold only in re¬ 
tail, but a better feeling is springing up. There 
is nothing to report in Pork. Bacon is in fair 
request at 54s.@57s.; for forward dealing it is 
offered at 45s. Naval stores are dull. Lard is 
scarce, but dull and nominal 65s. 
Mrs. Kadore, of Mariner’s Harbor, Staten 
Island, drowned herself recently, because of the 
drunken and gambling habits of her husband. 
She was 36 years old, a native of Massachusetts, 
and leaves two small children. _“ 
Yankee Sullivan, the noted pugilist, is bask¬ 
ing in the sunshine of royalty, at the Sandwich 
Islands. The royal family take lessons in “ the 
noble art of self-defense,” and king Kameham- 
eha has got to be a handsome scientific bruiser. 
A “ Butcher-bird ” recently flew at a Cana¬ 
ry in a cage by a window near Boston, and 
unable to pull the latter out, wrenched its head 
off. The former was afterwards caught in a trap 
baited by the dead body of its victim, and now 
occupies its cage. 
The Captain General of Cuba gave a grand 
dinner on the 24th ult., to the officers of the 
American vessels in the harbor. Owing to some 
blunder in sending the invitation. Commodore 
Paulding, in whose special honor the banquet 
was given, was not present, 
Saturn’s rings will be visible all of this year, 
with the aid of a telescope, tHeir southern sur¬ 
face being now turned toward the earth. This 
planet will be the evening star until June 4th, 
then morning star until December 31, then even¬ 
ing star until the 10th of July, 1857.

Rochester, February 13, 1856. J 
Wheat and Flour are dull at quotations which for the latter 
are at $8,50@9,50, a decline of twenty-five cents on lower grades. 
Genesee is within the range previously quoted, but Canadian is 
five to ten cents lower. No change in the coarser grains. 
Beans have advanced a quarter of a dollar per bushel. 
Meats are as before stated except Mutton which is higher. 
Hay has fallen a dollar on the ton, the extreme prices of last 
week being temporary and occasioned by the difficulty of get¬ 
ting to market. On Monday of this week the supply was very- 
large, but it fell off again on Tuesday, owing to tho severity of 
the weather. 
ROCHESTER WHOLESALE^ PRICES. 
Flour anil Grain 
The saw-mill establishment of Andre Cush¬ 
ing & Co., at Union Point, near St. John, N. B.» 
was burnt on the 22d ult. The establishment 
was a costly one, and was insured for £4,500. 
A. Shade, Esq., has built and presented to 
the Episcopal Church in Galt, Canada, a school 
house which cost $20,000. This is a “ shade 
which follows wealth or fame ” to some good 
purpose. 
The contractors are busily engaged on the 
branch of the Great Western Railway from Sar¬ 
nia to London; they are putting up an earth 
excavator, and as soon as the frost will permit 
will commence operations. 
Legislation upon the restriction in the traffic 
of intoxicating liquors, is under discussion by 
the Canadian journals. There appears to be no 
disposition to adopt the system of absolute pro¬ 
hibition, which has worked so badly in this 
State and elsewhere, but to devise a judicious 
license law. 
The stone bridge on the Grand Trunk Rail¬ 
way, over Grand river, three miles from Berlin, 
will be proceeded with immediately, and hur¬ 
ried along as quick as possible. The bridge, 
wlieu finished, will be a substantial and hand¬ 
some structure. There is every probability 
that the line will be opened to Berlin by the 1st 
of June next. 
The Canadian Parliament met at Toronto the 
15th of the present month. The questions which 
will probably engage its early attention, are : 
The selection of a permanent seat'of Government; 
the constitution of the Legislative Council, (i. e. 
the Senate ;) the Clergy reserve'"commutation ; 
the demand of the Roman Catholics for secta¬ 
rian schools ; representation of Upper and Lower 
Canada in Parliament by population. 
The Hamilton (C. W.) Spectator says that the 
Railway from that city to Port Dover, will be 
built during the coming _sumrner. The Direc¬ 
tors have held a meeting and accepted the 
tender of the well-known contractors, Messrs. 
Moore and Pierson, for the construction of the 
whole' line. The contractors are favorably 
known in connection with the buildihg of the 
Great Western, and we have no doubt they will 
speedily have the work of the new line fairly 
under way.

“Emery,” upon the links of the chain, and the name “ Emery,"

being also stencilled, in a conspicuous manner, with the names 
of the proprietors and their place oi business.

“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¬ 
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, &c., 
with those of other journals. All readers, whether subscribers

on last page—with the assurance that any aid they may render 
toward extending the circulation and usefulness of the Rural

stantial remuneration offered,) be gratefully appreciated.

Newspaper, devoted to pure religion, pure morals, pure versions 
of God’s word, and with every means of being the best, as it is 
the cheapest paper in the Denomination. 
It lias a wide range of original articles, ample materials for 
selections, especially from its connexion with the best Biblical 
lubrary in America, and provides reading appropriate to Far¬ 
mers, Merchants, the Home Circle, extensive correspondences, 
and a full summary of Religious and Genera] Intelligen e. Its 
commercial articles are written expressly for the paper by one 
of the most successful and gifted merchants of New York, whose 
views of Domestic Policy and Political Economy are original, 
able, comprehensive, and to businessmen are worth many times 
the price of the paper. A carefully prepared weekly report of 
Prices Current, Produce and Cattle Markets, of the doings of 
benevolent, literary, educational and other Societies, and what 
ever may interest the various classes of our citizens will enrich 
and diversify its pages. 
It is a leading advocate of the movement for securing in our 
own and other languages, correct versions of the Scriptures ; a 
subject now before tho British Parliament and commanding 
much attention in this country and England. The Chronicle 
has opinions of its own on all subjects and will spare no pains 
| to maintain them. It aims at no medium flight in journalism.

one Post-office, $5 ; Five copies, $8 ; Ten copies, $15. Liberal
