Arrival of the Baltic. 
The Baltic arrived at New York April 17th, 
bringing important news of the conclusion of 
peace. The treaty is signed by all the pleni¬ 
potentiaries, but the ratifications cannot be ex¬ 
changed in less than four weeks. Great de¬ 
monstrations of joy were manifested in Paris, 
accompanied with the firing of cannon, illumi¬ 
nations, &c., but in England the expressions of 
satisfaction were less noisy. 
On Monday, the 31st, the Lord Mayor of 
London, accompanied by the civic officers, ap¬ 
peared, in citizens’ costume, on the portico of 
the Mansion House, and read the following 
letter: 
Home Office, March 31st, 1856. 
Mr. Lord Mayor,—I have the honor to ac¬ 
quaint you that a despatch has this morning 
been received from the Earl of Clarendon, dated 
Paris, March 30th, announcing that a definite 
treaty for the restoration of peace, and for the 
maintenance of the integrity and independence 
of the Ottoman Power, was yesterday signed at 
Paris, by the plenipotentiaries of her Majesty, 
of the Emperor of the French, of the King of 
Sardinia, and of the Sultan, and also of the 
Emperor of Austria, and the King of Prussia on 
the one part, and of the Emperor of all the 
Russias on the other. G. Grey. 
After cheers for the Queen, army and navy, 
and allies, the spectators dispersed. 
The ceremonial announcement of the conclu¬ 
sion of peace was made to the French Senate in 
the words previously employed to announce the 
fact in the Moniteur. To this proclamation the 
Minister of State added:—“The Emperor has 
charged, that in bringing the fact to your 
knowledge, I should thank you for the patriotic 
support that you have always afforded him, and 
which, with the admirable devotedness of the 
allied fleet armies, had so powerfully contribu¬ 
ted to the happy issue of the war.” 
The members of the Peace Conference have 
still to perfect a number of secondary arrange¬ 
ments, essential to the new state of relations to 
be established. 
The Moniteur contains the following despatch 
from Gen. Pellissier, dated Sebastopol, March 
23d: 
“ This morning the French, English and Sar¬ 
dinian armies and the fleets, fired salutes of 
162 guns each, to honor of the birth of the 
Prince Imperial. During the day the Com- 
manders-in-Chief of the English and Sardinian 
armies came officially, to offer me congratula¬ 
tions. There have been illuminations in the 
camps, and the Russians illuminated their line 
on the Inkerman.” 
Liverpool Market, April 1.—Breadstuff's— 
The announcement of peace having been fully 
anticipated, produced no impression on prices. 
Wheat met a good consumptive demand, at an 
advance of 1 a 2d per 70 lbs. on the current rates 
of last Tuesday ; 9s 9d to I0s6d to 11s. West¬ 
ern Canal flour, 31s a 32s ; Baltimore and Phil¬ 
adelphia, 36s a 37s. Indian corn is still in very 
limited demand, but holders are not pressing 
sellers, and little offering; New Orleans mixed 
and white 29s 6d a 30s 6d; mixed Northern 30s 
6d a 31s per qr. 
Beef and pork unchanged. 
Arrival of the Africa. 
The Africa, with three days’ later news than 
the Baltic, arrived at New York April 19th.— 
Her news is of no special importance, and does 
not vary the statements contained in the de¬ 
spatches received by the previous steamer. The 
markets are unchanged. 
California f itMiptcr. 
Arrival of the George Law. 
The Aspinwall steamer George Law arrived 
at New York April 16th, with later California 
and Oregon dates. She brings about 500 pas¬ 
sengers and $1,458,000 in treasure. 
The Democratic State Convention of Califor¬ 
nia has appointed delegates to the National 
Convention at Cincinnati, after adopting reso¬ 
lutions opposing the main features of the Ne¬ 
braska bill, and declaring James Buchanan 
their first choice for President. 
The Senate rejected the resolution condem¬ 
natory of the election of Speaker Banks pre¬ 
viously passed by the House. 
The steamer Cortez, which left San Francisco 
on the 20th for San Juan, took 100 recruits for 
Walker’s army. 
l'he San Jose Telegraph hoists the names of 
Freemont and Blair, for President and Vice- 
President. 
Advices from Washington Territory state that 
a body of Indians 1,500 strong, were about to 
make another attack on the settlement. A con¬ 
flict had taken place on the White River be¬ 
tween a portion of the 4th regiment under 
Lieut. Kautz, and a large body of Indians ; the 
latter were routed. One white man was killed, 
and Lieut. K. and eight privates wounded. The 
Indians were building a fort on White River, 
and a large body of them were in camp near 
Lake Squaw. Gen. Wool had arrived at Van 
Couver, and was preparing to take the field 
early in April. 
A detachment of Walker’s army 400 strong, 
under Col. Schessenger, has been defeated by 
the Costa Ricans. The former had taken pos¬ 
session of the hacienda of Santa Rosa, a very 
advantageous position, situated on the top of a 
hill surrounded by stone walls. The Costa 
Rica enforcement of 500 fired once only, and 
then marched on with their bayonets, and 
chased them out in fourteen minutes, and took 
possession of the Ranche. The prisoners taken 
were all shot by the victors. 
North Shore of Lake Superior.— Instruc¬ 
tions have been issued by the Commissioner of 
the General Land Office for the survey of the 
lauds ceded to the United States by the Chip¬ 
pewa Indians, under the treaty of the 30th of 
September, 1854, situated north of the St. Louis 
river, and along the north shore of lake Supe¬ 
rior. The work is to be commenced early next 
month, with a view of accommodating settlers 
after the Indians shall have been satisfied for 
the rights accruing to them under the above- 
named treaty. 
Paid Off.— The robber of the jewelry store 
of Ball, Black it Co., N. Y., whose theft and 
arrest we mentioned last -week, was subsequent¬ 
ly brought into the Court of Sessions, pleaded 
guilty to grand larceny, and was sentenced to 
State Prison for the term of five years.

Rochester, April 23, 1856. S 
The Grain market presents various features, some for the 
better, and some for the worse. Wheat and flour are unchang¬ 
ed ; Corn is five cents lower ; Oats a cent better ; and Barley 
for seed, is in good demand and high, some holders asking, for 
choice lots, one dollar and fifty cents. Dealers are paying for 
malting purposes $1,25. 
Butter and Eggs have declined rapidly in price within a few 
days, the former sel iug, wholesale, at 12 to 15 cents per pound j 
and the latter at 12 % cents a dozen. 
Apples begin to advance a little as the old stock becomes 
reduced. Hay is a dollar cheaper on the ton. 
Clover Seed, which, for three years past, has been selling 
upon a fallen market, has taken a sudden turn in the opposite 
direction, and now goes up much more rapidly than its previ¬ 
ous decline. Dealers are paying for it, wholesale, at the rate of 
eight to nine dollars a bushel.

Having of late bought Joseph Wood's farm, I am now ready 
to have wood enough chopped to enable me to draw $30,000 
cash, once more, out of the N. Y. C. R; K. Co. 1 did it once 
and can do it again, for I find that they cannot draw passen¬

flour without wheat. In order to bring this about I will pay 
the high price of 5s. per cord for chopping. My chopping is of 
the best in the State. Good Boarding Uouseson the premises. 
Said chopping is within 100 rods of my plantation. I will keep

IMPROVED, NEW Y ORK SELF-RAKING REAPER 
WITH MOWER ATTACHMENT.. 
The success of our Self-raking Reaper has induced us to 
manuiacture for the harvest of 1856, a larger number of Ma¬ 
chines than we have built in any previous year. 
Experience has proved that our Self-Rake not only saves the 
hard labor of a man, but does the work much better, leaving 
the grain in better shape than the best hand rakes, and without 
perceptible increase of draugnt. 
JVe have many improvements to our machine of last year, 
such as Spring Seat, and the making the Gear Frame of Iron, 
&.C., and have, after many experiments succeeded in attaching 
a shorter Cutter Bar, to our Gear Frame, with smooth edged 
knife, and higher motion, for mowing, which makes the best 
combined machine before the public. 
We invite the attention of those interested, to the following 
points of excellence in our machine : 
1. The Gear Frame is made of Iron, and not liable to spring 
or become, misplaced, thus impairing tho working of the ma¬ 
chine, aud it is more durable than any other material. 
2. The simplicity, durability, and perfect working of the 
gearing, including that which drives the Rake. 
3. The perfect manner of laying the grain for the hinder—bet¬ 
ter than the best hand rakers. 
4. The ease witlr which the operator may regulate the size of 
the bundle, a slight pressure of the foot upon the pedal stop- 
ping the Rake at any point, without interfering with the cutting. 
5. The lightness oi draught for the team ; the absence of side 
pressure, and the ease with which it passes over uneven ground, 
from the large size of the ground wheels. 
6 . The ease with which it may be backed or turned. 
7. The width of Cut with good driving 6 % feet. 
8 . It leaves the grain outside the track of horses, so that auy 
amount may be cut without binding. 
The reaper is so constructed that the Mower Bar may be at¬ 
tached at any future time at a cost of $25. 
Wo again offer our acknowledgments to our friends, the Far¬ 
mers, for their liberal patronage, and shall endeavor, by prompt¬ 
ness in executing orders and the nse of none but the best ma¬ 
terials, and the employment of the best mechanics, to merit its 
continuance.
