MARCH 1. MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 7 , 
Arrival of the Atlantic. 
The Atlantic arrived at New York Sunday, 
24th tilt. She experienced strong westerly 
gales ten days successively, and was three days 
in large fields of ice. She brings no news of 
the Pacific. 
England. —Palmerston promises to lay apart 
of the Central American correspondence before 
Parliament. 
Peace apparently progresses favorably. The 
preliminary protocol was signed at Vienna on 
the first by representatives of France, England, 
and Turkey—Russia and Austria agreeing to 
open the conference at Paris within three days. 
Clarendon is appointed English Plenipotentiary. 
There is a doubtful report that the Emperors of 
Russia and Austria will visit Paris during the 
conference. Matters are progressing favorably 
in the direction of peace. 
The most important news is that which re¬ 
lates to the extraordinary excitement in Eng¬ 
land, on the subject of a war with the United 
States. It was again confidentially reported 
on the Liverpool Exchange, that the American 
Minister had demanded his passports. 
France.— The Paris Journal Des Debates has 
a long labored editorial to prove that up to the 
present point the interests of France and Eng¬ 
land are identical, and that a continuance of 
the war either in the Baltic or in Asia, would 
only subserve the private interest of England. 
Markets. —Breadstuff's were much depressed. 
Wheat about 4d per bushel lower. Flour Is 
per barrel lower. Indian corn did not show 
much decline. Beef, pork and lard continue in 
the same lifeless state. Money continues tight 
and demand great. 
Arrival of the Asia. 
Tiie steamer Asia from Liverpool on the 
morning of the 9tli, arrived Monday, 25th ult. 
There was a storm on the night of the 7tli. 
Many American vessels were damaged. The 
Ocean Rcver, from Charleston, went ashore at 
Crosby Point, Liverpool. She leaked slightly. 
The Edward Everett arrived at Cork, lsaking 
badly. She had lost her spars and thrown 
overboard over 700 barrels of flour. The Henry 
Pratt of Mobile, was ashore at Porlingot, with 
her masts cut away. The bark Warren from 
Philadelphia put in the port of Fayalin dis¬ 
tress. She hail lost a part of her cargo. The 
bark Maid of Auckland, from Boston to London, 
was abandoned water-logged, and with her 
masts cut away. The master and crew were 
rescued by the American ship Equity, and 
landed at Liverpool. 
The London Morning Advertiser states that 
Sir Henry Bulwer has intimated that he would 
like to act as a sort of mediator between the 
British Government and Mr. Buchanan. This 
movement is said to be at the desire of Lord 
Palmerston. An interview will take place at 
the embassy, where Mr. Bulwer will explain 
the Compromise at length to Mr. Buchanan, 
which he is prepared to recommend. 
The steamship Arabia brings presents, con¬ 
sisting of plate, medals, ifcc., for the officers and 
crew of the Kane Arctic Expedition. 
Markets. —Flour rather easier. Ohio offered 
at 37s Gd@38s 6d ; Western Canal 35s. Wheat 
in temporary speculative inquiry at 9s 6d@9s 
9d ^ 70 lbs., and a moderate business in white 
at 10s 9d@lls. Indian Corn much depressed 
at 35s, taken for white as well as mixed. Beef 
in moderate retail demand. Prices of fine re¬ 
main steady. Ordinary was quoted at 33@5s 
decline. Pork—Small arrival sold readily at 
75s@82s 6d for old, and 85@87s for new. .Lard 
in limited demand at Cls@62s. Money in 
England more stringent. 
Weather, &c., in Central Illinois. 
Sandwich, Ill., Feb. 15, 1856. 
Friend Moore : — In a late Rural, you speak 
of the mercury being 5 or G degrees below zero, 
and of your January thaw being “post-poned 
on account of the weather.” Why, sir, our 
January thaw has been postponed several times, 
for the same cause, and seems now to be post¬ 
poned sine die ; and in regard to the thermome¬ 
ter, we think nothing here of 10 or 12 degrees 
below zero, and that for several mornings in 
succession. What would you think of a tempe¬ 
rature ranging for fhree entire days together 
between 10 and 30 degrees below zero ? 
The cold commenced with us on the night of 
the 22d of Dec. ’55, and till the end of the 
month ranged between 20, i. e. 20 degrees be¬ 
low zero, and 23 above, and out of 27 observa¬ 
tions, (three daily,) 1G were at or below zero.— 
Mean temperature for the 9 days, 1degrees 
above zero. 
January commenced with a temp, of 9 deg. 
above zero, which, in less than 24 hours, fell to 
10 deg. below, and during the first 11 days 
vacillated between 30° below and 25° above 
zero. Once it rose to 33° above zero, but sunk 
in 12 hours to IS 0 below. Of 33 observations, 
(three daily,) 16 are below zero. Mean temp. 
®f 11 days, 2) J below zero. During the remain¬ 
ing part of the month the mercury stood at, or 
below zero four times, and rose above 32° once. 
By this time things were ready for another 
“ heat,” and accordingly February commenced 
with a temperature of 18° above zero, but in 
twenty-four hours this had given place to 20° 
below, and ranged between 1° and 274. below 
till 10 o’clock of the 5th. Since that time the 
mercury has ranged between 25° below and 36° 
above zero, once 4G°. 
We have an unusual depth of snow ; (12 to 
14inches;) and not even the “oldest inhabi¬ 
tant” claims ever to have seen so severe a 
winter in this western country. Our location is 
about 60 miles west of Chicago. 
Yours, J. L. Hendrick. 
Bank Statistics. — The whole number of 
banks and branches existing in the United 
States on the 1st of January,j^was 1,273, pos¬ 
sessing a capital of $335,611,990, and a circula¬ 
tion of $177,157,412. The increase in banking 
capital during the year has been about nine and 
a half million, of circulation twelve million, and 
of deposits two and a half million. 
Kansas Difficulties.— The probabilities arc 
that all overt acts of invasion or insurrection in 
Kansas will now be restrained, as the United 
States troops are notified to respond to the call 
of the Governor in case their services should be 
necessary. The Tribune’s Washington corres¬ 
pondent says :—l’he President instructed Gov. 
Shannon, before leaving, to visit the Missouri 
companies personally, and say if any invasion 
was attempted, it would be resisted by all the 
power he could command. Also, to say to the 
people of Kansas that the same authority would 
be exerted if any insurrectionary demonstration 
occcurred. 
--*-»-«»- 
Tax on Oysters.— A new source of revenue 
has been pointed out by Gov. Wise of Virginia, 
for the benefit of his State. It is estimated 
that there are 2,000 square miles of salt water 
shallows belonging to Virginia in which oysters 
are bred, and from whence they are taken by 
vessels belonging principally to Maryland, 
Pennsylvania and New York. He thinks that 
about 27,000,000 bushels are taken every year, 
and proposes a levy of one cent per bushel, 
which would bring an annual revenue to the 
State of $270,000. 
Conflagrations.— The extensive India Rub¬ 
ber Factory in Naugatuck, Conn., belonging to 
the Goodyear Metalic Rubber Shoe Company, 
was, with all its contents, destroyed by fire on 
Sunday, Feb. 17th. Loss $120,000; insured 
$52,000. 
A large warehouse in Milwaukee, used as an 
elevator, was burned on the 15th ult., together 
with 15,000 bushels of wheat, 40 tons of broom 
corn, and a small quantity of pork and flour. 
Loss $30,000 ; insured $20,000.

Rochester, February 27, 1856. 5 
Flour stands at last week’s figures, but wheat has .declined 
as per table. Corn is two and a half cents lower, but other 
grains remain as previously quoted. 
Apples are plenty and cheaper; the moderate weather bring¬ 
ing them in abundantly. We saw fine Greenings, on Tuesday, 
sold to a dealer at twenty-five cents a bushel. Fer contra, a 
gentleman assured us that he sold a few fancy extra sized 
Baldwins, the same day, for seventy-five cents per bushel. 
Clover seed is fifty cents a bushel lower. Our readers will 
recollect our quotations are wholesale prices aud not single bushel 
figures. 
Hay is abundant and cheaper, bringing to-day $7 to $ 1-1 per 
ton. Other things unchanged.

SPRING WHEAT FOR SALE. 
The subscriber offers for sale a quantity of the celebrated 
China or Tea Wheat. This wheat has succeeded remarkably 
well with myself and those to whom I have sold and heard from. 
Where all other kinds have failed this has done well. Price

BEST MACHINE IN USE. 
I (the first) used in l8t>2. 
40 used successfully In 1858. 
3300 In twenty different States In 1854. 
1200 in nil parts of the Union In 1855. 
8000 building for the harvest of 1856. 
There are six good reasons for this unparalleled increase 
and great popularity :—1st. It is strong and reliable, and easily 
managed. 2d. It saves the hard labor of Raking. 3d. It saves 
at least another hand iu binding. 4th. It saves shattering by the 
careful handling in raking; besides, the straw being laid straight, 
it is well secured in the sheaf, aud does not drop in the after 
handling, and the heads are not exposed in the stack, so that 
the GRAIN saving even exceeds the labor saving. 5th. It is a 
good Mower, being one of the best convertible jnachines in use. 
6 th. It has a knife that does uot choke. Tj 
Its other excellencies, to numerous to mention here, are fair¬ 
ly given iu the circulars. Its intrinsic worth is also attested by 
the award (mostly in only 3 years) of

Price.—Reaper and Mower, $200,—S75 on its receipt, $75

Reaper onl>- $175. Considerable saving in freight to those at 
a distance who order prior to 1st March; also liberal discount 
for advance payment. 
To secure a Machine, order immediately. Though so little 
known the past season, and none ready for delivery till 1st May, 
yet not two-thirds the customers could be supplied. The repu¬ 
tation of the Machine is now widely established, so that three 
thousand will not as nearly supply the demand as twelve hun¬ 
dred did last year, and we shall also be selling 4 months earlier.
