MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

Arrival of the Persia. 
The new steamship Persia, on her recent 
trip, arrived at New York March 20th, after a 
run of twelve days. She brought one hundred 
passengers, and on her voyage spoke, March 
9th, off Cape Clear, the steamship Canada from 
Boston. Snip Jas. Baines had arrived at Liver- 
pool from Melbourne, with upwards of 90,000 
ounces of gold, and Australian dates to the 28th 
of November. 
The signing of the preliminaries of Peace are 
reported, but subsequent information would im¬ 
ply that the Plenipotentiaries had merely ap¬ 
pended their names to the preliminary formali¬ 
ties. The speech of the Emperor Napoleon to 
the Legislative Assembly is also reported, in 
which he spoke cordially of the English alli¬ 
ance, and stated that while he hoped for peace, 
it was necessary to be prepared for either peace 
or war. 
Orders are received at Marseilles for convey¬ 
ing 10,000 infantry and a battery of artillery to 
the Crimea to replace troops returned home.— 
The Paris Moniteur contains an imperial decree 
calling out for active service the 140,000 young 
soldiers for the class of 1855. 
Covent Garden Theatre at London was burnt 
on the morning of the 5th, at an early hour, just 
at the close of a ball masque, under the manage¬ 
ment of Prof. Anderson, the Wizard. Nearly 
all the party had left, and but a few persons 
were slightly injured. The destruction of the 
building and property was complete. 
The Baltic. —From Hamburg, March 5th, it 
is stated that two Itussian war steamers, ac¬ 
companied by their gun-boats, have got out of 
Sweaborg by breaking the ice. These ships 
have appeared in the Baltic. The Russians are 
sending troops in considerable numbers to Fin¬ 
land, concentrating a large force around St. Pc- 
tersburgh and strengthening the barriers near 
Cronstadt. 
Admiral Watson has sailed from Kiel. Lie 
had ordered the British fleet to assemble off 
Moar Island to announce the renewal of the 
blockade of the Russian ports. 
Delegates from the two Crimean armies had 
met to regulate the details of the armistice. 
Two couriers passed through Berlin on Sun¬ 
day, March 2d, on route for Paris, bearing fresh 
instructions for the Russian Pleuipotentiaiies. 
Liverpool Markets. —Brokers’ Circular re¬ 
ports wheat declined (id ; flour 2@3s and corn 
Is on the week, without leading to much busi¬ 
ness. Other circulars report the same, but 
mention rather a better feeling on Friday, and 
give quotations for red wheat about 9s 3d@9s 
10d ; white wheat 10s 3d@ll. Western canal 
flour 31@32s ; Philadelphia and Baltimore 34@ 
35 ; Ohio 35@36. Mixed corn 32; white and 
yellow not in demand. Corn meal nominal. 
Provisions— Richardson, Spence & Co.’s cir¬ 
cular reports beef in moderate retail demand at 
last week’s prices. Pork quiet; one lot prime 
Eastern, 84s. Bacon scarce, first arrivals would 
fetch 50@52s. 
Democracy in Canada. 
The spirit of a stern and independent repub¬ 
licanism has a strong hold, and is extending 
itself throughout the British provinces. The 
same dislike to privileged orders and inherited 
superiority is manifested there as on this side 
of the border, and year by year traditional and 
time-honored abuses are giving away before the 
lights of an extending civilization. Hear what 
the Hamilton Banner says upon this subject: 
We will have an Elective Legislative Coun¬ 
cil Bill passed in a few days. We must have 
also an elective Governor. The people in Canada 
arc in a position to choose from among them¬ 
selves a man competent to fill the highest post 
in the country. It is time that an end was put 
to the abominable system of sending out to 
Canada broken down and characterless baronets 
and lords to monopolize our most respectable 
situations, and to ride rough shod over the sons 
of the lusty yeomanry, by whose brawny arms 
the resources of the country have been devel¬ 
oped. Last Saturday, Lady Head, daughters, 
aid-de-camp and two or three servants, came up 
from Toronto by the morning train on their way 
to Niagara Falls. They occupied a special car 
the doors of which were locked against the 
Canadian bipeds over whom Sir Edmund rules 
for a consideration of £7,777 7s7d ! Moreover, 
the car was not only special but superior to any 
other on the train. All this invidious distinc¬ 
tion was shown to these diMinguished personages 
free gratis! Why should not the wives and 
daughters of Canadians ride in the same car 
with Lady Head ? Such exclusiveness in those 
who are dependent upon our country for bread 
butter and social position does not harmonize 
with the genius of Canadians. It is an insult 
to our intelligence and respectability. We re¬ 
member traveling a few years ago in company 
with many others in the same car with Presi¬ 
dent Fillmore whose position was not inferior 
to that of Queen Victoria or the Emperor Na¬ 
poleon. Ho never thought of a special car—he 
considered that he was traveling with people 
who were entitled to his respect, and fit to as¬ 
sociate with him, and converse about the interest 
of the nation. 
New Daily.— Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, is 
henceforth to be favored with a daily newspa¬ 
per, Messrs M. J. Tiiomas and A. J. Kkkd being 
its editors. The title of the paper is the Daily 
Union, and it is a respectable and well filled 
sheet. Such an enterprise, in a region so re¬ 
cently the above of the Indian, but now teem¬ 
ing with an active civilization, is a fair expo¬ 
nent of Western enterprise and progress. The 
city of F’ond du Lac numbers upwards of 5,000 
inhabitants. 
Kansas Emigrants. —The pioneer party of 
Kansas emigrants left Springfield Mass., on the 
evening of the 16th instant. They numbered 
only about twenty, it being deemed too early 
in the season for a larger number to go farward. 
The next and a much larger company will start 
on the 25tli, and weekly instalments will follow. 
Vitriol Throwers. —These villains are again 
actively at worlj in New York city ruining ele¬ 
gant dresses and wearing apparel, by throwing 
sulphuric acid upon them in the street. Thus 
far the detective police have failed to identify 
the persons committing such diabolical outrages. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, March 26, 1856. ) 
The markets arc extremely dull at present and prices havo 
not changed materially during the week. The recent mild 
weather having rendered the roads nearly impassable from 
melting snow very little country produce is offered in our 
stroets. 
Flour is a quarter of a dollar per barrel lower than last week, 
but in wheat there is no change. Oats are searco and stiff at 
quotations. Hay ditto.

HALLOCK’S AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE. 
KETCHUM'S COMBINED MOWER AND HEADER 
Warranted to Cat from Ten to Fifteen Acres of Grain or 
Grass per Day, as well as if done with Scythe or Cradle. 
From tho success of our Machines the past season, and an¬ 
other year’s experience and experiments, (the most trying ever 
known for harvesters,) we leel assured that we have overcome 
all difficulties, and that cither in cutting grain or grass, Ketch- 
urn's Machine for 1856, will fully meet tho expectation of the 
farmer. Some of our improvements are, tho perfecting and 
strengthening the guards, adding a seat for the driver while reap¬ 
ing, placing a large wheel at the outer end ot the platform, so 
arranged that the platform can be raised or lowered, and at¬ 
taching a wheel for the purpose of moving the Mower from lot 
to lot. The Platform has been strengthened and every other 
part of tho Machine, so that wo feel tho utmost confidence of 
their giving perfect satisfaction if properly managed. We wish 
to state somo of tho advantages of tho Kctchum Machine over 
all others, unless they infringe our Patents. First: The placing 
the knives on a line of the shaft or tread of the wheel, which al¬ 
lows them to follow the unevenness of the ground as well as 
not to be effected by the up and down motion of the pole, cut¬ 
ting just as low through dead furrows as on level land. Sec¬ 
ond : Placing tho knilb bar lower Ilian the frame and a suitable 
distance from tho plane or line of the wheel, leaving unob¬ 
structed space between tlie two, sufficient to allow tho machine 
to pass over the cut grass lying between the heel of the knife bar 
and the wheel, instead of being shoved ahead, and carried along 
with the Machine as would be the case if the linger bar was can-id 
directly to,and bolted to the frame of the machine, making it nec¬ 
essary to drop frame and all, to cut grass, which could not be 
done successfully. Third : The open cutting blade to prevent 
clogging which effectually docs so, in any kind of grass, and 
fourth, in leaving the grass evenly spread, requiring no turning 
or shaking out, to cure properly. , , , • 
Tho change from a Mower to a Reaper, (which means lias 
been patented,) is effected by simply enlaiging the main wheel, 
by circular sections, bolted to the rim of tlie wheel. Some of 
the advantages obtained by tills arrangement are—F irst : 
Raising the cutlers sufficiently high for cutting grain. Second: 
Lessening tlie motion of the knives, which is very desirable in 
cutting grain, ns much less motion is required. Third : Re¬ 
ducing the draft of the Machine at least one-third. Fourth : 
Raising tlie cogs of the driving wheel, thereby preventing their 
being filled with dirt, as they otherwise would be, on stubble 
land. 
We shall have platforms for both back and side delivery of 
tho grain. Persons ordering will please state which they pre¬ 
fer. We are now prepared to ship Machines at a moment's no¬

A BANK BOOK, 
expressly adapted for 
FARMERS & COUNTRY GENTLEMEN, 
Is certainly a desideratum in these days, when the inhabitants 
of tho Rural Districts hold so largo a share of the Nation's 
wealth Banks aro known to bo important institutions, and 
absorb tlie attention of the public not less than the Public Funds. 
Tlie States are favored witn all kinds— State Ilanks, Independent 
Ilanks, Free Hanks, Stock Hanks, etc .—and Inst, but not least, tlie 
Union is favored with 
“MR. SPEAKER” BANKS. 
But of- more importance than either are tho 
FREE SOIL BANKS, 
which evory resident of tlie country should know how to manage 
and mould into beautiful and attractive, and therefore profitable 
forms. Before the deposits of frost have been withdrawn from 
the clay, sand and gravel banks, fine opportunity is afforded for 
a careful study of the subject, therefore buy and read

800 in twenty different Staten In 1854. 
1200 in nil parts of the Union In 1855. 
8000 building lor the harvest of 1856. 
Tiikrk are six good reasons for this unparalleled increase 
and great popularity :—1st. It is strong and reliable, and easily 
managed. 2d. It saves tlie hard labor of Raking. 3d. It saves 
at least another band in binding. 4th. It saves shattering by tho 
careful handling in raking; besides, the straw being laid straight, 
it is well secured iu tho sheaf, anil does not drop in the after 
handling, and tlie heads are not exposed in tlie stack, so that 
the grain saving even exceeds the labor saving. 5th. It is a 
good Mower, being one of tho best convertible machines in use. 
6 th. It has a knife that does not choke. 
Its other excellencies, to numerous to mention hero, aro fair¬ 
ly given in tlie circulars. Its intrinsic worth is also attested by 
the award (mostly in only 3 years) of

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 lie supplied. The repu¬ 
tation of tlie Machine is now widely established, so that three 
thousand will not as nearly supply the demand as twelve hun¬
