MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Jump fntcEigmft California fnMiijmtf. 
Arrival of the Steamer Arago. 
The Steamer Arago arrived at New York on 
the 8th inst. She brings London dates to the 
24th of September, and 270 passengers, includ¬ 
ing Col. Ruiles, the American minister at Brus¬ 
sels, and P. F. Sullivan, Consul at Bayonne. 
A serious conflict had taken place at Trebi- 
zond, where some 30 sailors tore down the 
Russian flag from a merchant ship, and threw 
the Russian sailors into the sea. The Russian 
Consul demands the dismissal of the captain of 
the port. 
The Madrid journals state that a severe con¬ 
flict occurred on the 9th of September, between 
the garrison of Mellilla, in Morocco, and the 
Spaniards and the Moors. The Spaniards had 
90 killed and 70 wounded. The loss of the 
Moors was still more severe. 
Advices frpm St. Vincent state that the greater 
portion of the inhabitants had either abandon¬ 
ed the island or died from cholera. 
At Madeira the cholera still existed, but was 
less fatal. 
Arrival of the Niagara. 
The Steamer Niagara arrived at Halifax on 
the 9th inst. 
Great Britain. —Lord Hardinge, late Com- 
mander-in-Chief of the army, is dead. His 
age was 71 years. 
The Gazette publishes the treaty between 
Great Britain and Siam. By it British subjects 
may trade freely with all the ports of Siam, but 
may reside only at Bangkok. 
A copy of the treaty lately concluded between 
the Ministers of England and the United States 
respecting the Central American Difficulty, is 
published in the English papers. The main 
points of the paper are a restitution of the right 
of Honduras over the Islands of Ruatan, &c., 
and erecting them a free territory and framed 
by its proper authorities. England acknowl¬ 
edges the territorial limits of Honduras men¬ 
tioned in the map published by Hon. G. Squier. 
The Paris correspondent of the Times alludes 
to a report of its being the intention of the 
United States to form an alliance with those 
European Powers that may be disposed to adopt 
as an article of law the immunity of merchant 
vessels and merchandise from capture in time 
of war, even by men-of-war. 
Prance. — The Emperor and family are mak¬ 
ing the most of the rural enjoyments at Biarritz, 
including bull-fights. 
The Bank of France has raised its rate of in¬ 
terest to 6 per cent. 
Austria. — The Austrian Government has 
thrown into prison 31 officers and men of the 
Italian legions, who have returned to Lombar¬ 
dy, which will probably lead to energetic dec¬ 
lamation on the part of the English Government. 
All these statements combined have contributed 
to a depressing effect on the London and Paris 
money market. 
A difficulty had taken place at Vienna, be¬ 
tween Colonel Reison, of California, and the 
Archduke Charles, which resulted in a chal¬ 
lenge to the latter. His Imperial Highness of¬ 
fered an explanation, and the matter was 
amicably settled. 
Prussia. —The Bank of Prussia has raised its 
rate of discount to six per cent., the maximum 
allowed by law. 
A special meeting of the Cabinet was held to 
consider the question of the Danish Sound dues. 
The decision is understood to be in favor, but 
that the price asked by Denmark is too high, 
commercial Intelligence. 
Breadstuffs.— The tendency of prices is still down¬ 
wards. Messrs. Richardson, Spence & Co. quote wheat 2d 
lower on the week, and flour steady at about last week’s 
prices. Red wheat, old, 6s@8s 6d ; new 9s@9s 3d. white 
wheat, old, 8s9d@9s 9d ; new 10s@10s 9d. Small sales of 
line flour have been made at an advance of 6d over last 
week’s prices, but inferior qualities are dull at a decline of 
Gd on the week. Western Lanai 26s@31s ; Baltimore and 
Philadelphia 29s@31s 6d ; Ohio 3ls@33s. Indian Corn is 
in a very limited request, and last week’s prices are barely 
sustained ; yellow and mixed 31s 6d@32s ; white 38s. The 
weather has been very wet. 
Market continues quiet for provisions. Beef sales lim¬ 
ited, prices nominal, and the same remark applies to pork. 
Lard dull and nominal, 70@80. 
Foreign Items. 
Herr Standige, the celebrated singer and in¬ 
structor of Jenny Lind, died in a mad-house at 
Vienna last month. 
In Turkey, wlieuever a store-keeper is con¬ 
victed of telling a lie, his house is painted black, 
to remain so for one month. If there was such 
a law in force in this country, what a sober 
and gloomy appearance some of our cities and 
villages would present. 
They have dreadful freshets in Switzerland. 
The Rhine has been prolific of dead bodies 
washed into it. 
Of all the men and women now living in 
London, more than half are of external birth ; 
upwards of a million have come from the Pro¬ 
vinces, or Scotland and Ireland, or from abroad. 
An English paper states that the Mormons 
are making numerous converts in Great Britain, 
by exaggerated pictures of life in Utah. They 
now teach openly their doctrine of polygamy, 
but it seems no impediment to accessions. The 
annual emigration of converts is computed as 
high as 8,000. 
During the passage of the ship Adirondack 
from a port in Ireland to New York, September, 
1855, a young lady threw overboard, on the 
banks of Newfoundland, a bottle containing a 
letter addressed to a friend in Ireland. The 
bottle was picked up in August, 1856, in the 
river Shannon, by a person who was bathing, 
and the letter forwarded to its address. 
The London Chronicle says :—In the matter 
of English pensions we find that the fortunate 
dancing master, who was probably well paid 
for the highly important service of teaching her 
most gracious majesty to hop,skip and jump, is 
put on a. par with Adairs, the discoverer of the 
planet Neptune. 
Intelligence from St. Petersburg says that 
the waters of the Wolga were higher than they 
had ever been in the memory of man. At Sa- 
ratoff more than 500 houses were inundated. 
Lake Superior News. —Advices from Onton 
agon, Lake Superior, to Sept. 20th, says:— 
Mining business is active and yielding largely. 
A storm occurred on the 18th, being the sever¬ 
est known for years. No damage to shipping 
or other property reported. About five inches 
of snow fell, and the pier at Eagle River was 
destroyed. 
Arrival of the George Law. 
The Steamship George Law, with California 
mails to the 20th ult., and nearly $2,000,000 in 
gold, arrived at New York on the 13th inst. 
The general intelligence from California is 
unimportant. Politics occupy the public mind 
to the exclusion of other subjects. 
John L. Durkee and Chas. E. Rand had been 
tried on a charge of piracy, for the removal of 
the State arms from on board the schooner 
India, in San Francisco Bay, during the revo¬ 
lution under the Vigilance Committee. The 
jury rendered a verdict of acquittal after five 
minutes’ consultation. 
Trade was dull in San Francisco, but with 
the removal of social disorders the return of bu¬ 
siness activity was constantly looked for. 
From New Grenada we learn that Gov. Caldo 
was inaugurated at Panama on the 10th instant. 
The event insures the peaceful condition of 
things on the Isthmus for some time to come. 
The flag-ship Independence, and the sloop- 
of-war St. Mary’s, were still at Aspinwall.— 
The officers and crew of both vessels were in 
good health. 
Although there has been but little fighting 
in Oregon since the battle at the great Rouge 
river, still the Indian of both Oregon and Wash¬ 
ington Territories, exhibit a sour disposition.— 
A grand council was appointed to be held Aug. 
15, but it was feared many of the tribes would 
not come in. 5,000 Indians had collected at 
the Dallas, — some being tribes previously 
friendly and some hostile tribes that have late¬ 
ly come in and given up their arms. 
Idolatry in San Francisco.— It is stated in 
the San Francisco papers that the Chinese there 
have erected a large and handsome house of 
worship, by subscription, in which they have 
an Idol. The following is a description of it 
and their mode of worship, from the editor of 
the Pacific newspaper :—In the back part of 
the room is an alcove containing the idol, a Chi¬ 
nese figure of a tawny color, with elaborate and 
glossy beard, and of full size. The right hand 
of the idol is raised, as if for speaking. The 
body and limbs are gaudily ornamented with 
guilt carving and a mosaic of small mirrors.— 
The alcove and the altar, or table in front, are 
ornamented with carvings of figures and groupes 
not known in our classics. On either side of 
the idol and around the walls, as well as sus¬ 
pended from the ceiling, are painted boards and 
silk covered frames, containing inscriptions said 
to be taken from the writings of Confucius.— 
The worship consists of music, burning of in¬ 
cense, spreading out of roasted pigs and dishes 
of fruit and tea before the image, and various 
inflictions and rites by the “performers."— 
Dishes of tea stand before the idol, and sticks 
of dried wood are kept slowly burning in an 
urn. Flowers and preserved or wax fruits re¬ 
main in the room.

Roohestek, Oct. 16, 1800. 5 
Transactions in onr market during the past week have 
been limited, and a general dullness, prevailing at present 
writing, renders our quotations somewhat nominal. 
Flour.— Best brands have receded 25c per barrel, since our 
last. 
Grain.— Wheat has met a decline of 2@3c during the week. 
Barley, Corn and Oats unchanged. 
WOOL. —Nothing doing. It has now been fully ascertained 
that the clip is short, and prices in tho Eastern markets have 
gone up decidedly—the bulk, however, being out of the hands 
of growers, speculators are reaping the advantages consequent 
upon such rise.

Mr Andre Leroy, member of the principal Horticultural 
and Agricultural Societies of Europe and America, and lately 
promoted by the French Emperor to the rank of Knight of the 
Legion of Honor for the best Nursery Products exhibited at 
the World’s Fair in Paris, begs leave to inform his friends and 
the public that he hus just published his new Catalogue for 
1856, being more extensive and complete than that of any simi¬ 
lar establishment on the Continent. It contains the prices, Ac., 
of all the Fruit, Ornamental and Evergreen Trees, Shrubs, 
Roses, Camellias, Stocks, Seedlings, Ac., Ac., with the neces¬ 
sary^ information for importing the same. His experience in 
putting up orders for America, and the superiority of his piants, 
have been too well appreciated during a period of ten years to 
require further comment. 
The Catalogue can be obtained free of charge on application 
to the undersigned Agent, who will also receive and forward 
the orders. Mr. A. Leroy is happy in being able to state that 
his Nurseries were not reached by the inundation which so re¬

A RARE CHANCE 
TO SECURE A VALUABLE AGENCY. 
Rights as secured under Letters Patent (recently 
issued) FOR Smyth’s Self-Acting Bent-Lever Platform 
Seales, can now be secured on apjjlication to the Subscriber. 
This invention claims superiority over every other in the 
invariable scientific principle involved, and upon which it acts; 
in its uudeviating accuracy; iu its lightness and strength ; in 
its wonderful capacity and convenience of form ; in its perfect 
simplicity, and the fact that any ordinary mechanic can manu¬ 
facture them; in the absence of any complication liable to va¬ 
riation, or to get out of order ; and finally in the important fact 
that this Scale can bo afiorded at about one-third the cost of any 
other Platform Scale of like capacity and accuracy in use.— 
Possessing in an eminent degree all these merits, this invention 
is conceded to be one of the most useful aud valuable ever 
brought before the public. And coming as it does within the 
reach of all, it cannot but find an unprecedented sale and un¬ 
divided market among farmers, housekeepers, mechanics, mer¬ 
chants, Ac., everywhere, to the exclusion of every other weigh¬ 
ing apparatus. 
Rights will be placed within the reach of every enterprising 
salesman or business man, and it is believed that seldom, or 
never, were more tempting inducements offered than this inven¬ 
tion affords for the small investment required ; and to a man of 
ability is presented an opportunity for the realization of easy, 
rapid and honorable wealth, seldom afforded.
