From the Seat of War, 
The Royal Steamship Arabia, Capt. Stone, from 
Liverpool on Saturday, 18th ult., arrived at Hali¬ 
fax at noon of the 28th, en route for Boston.— 
Her news is meagre and without much importance 
Gen. Guylai had been superceded in the com¬ 
mand of the second Austrian army by Gen. Schliet. 
The Austrians report that Gen. Urban had repuls¬ 
ed Garibaldi, and that the latter was at Brescia.— 
Additional Austrian troops were moving towards 
Italy, and the Emperor Napoleon had demanded 
an additional 100,000 men to besiege the fortresses. 
The Austrians, it is said, were preparing at Man¬ 
tua to attack the allies. 
The mobilization of the Prussian army, together 
with the additional hostile attitude of Germany, 
had created great uneasiness. Kossuth had pass¬ 
ed through France en route to Italy. Prince Na¬ 
poleon’s corps had commenced moving. It was 
reported that the Austrians had entered the Val- 
telline. 
The telegram from Vienna of the 16th, says, that 
Gen. Count Schliet had taken command of the 2d 
army, instead of Gen. Guylai, and that the French 
had established a depot at Antivan, on the Alba- 
man Copalbainan coast, and disembarked large 
quantities of gold coin there. 
Tbs last accounts from Napoleon’s headquarters 
say that he was concentrating his forces in order 
to attack the Austrians with an overwhelming 
force, and it was believed in Paris that a decisive 
battle would be fought in the course of a week.— 
The following bulletin had been received via Turin: 
Turin, June 15th. 
The Austrians are retreating from the Oglio, and 
the allied armies continued to advance. The Aus¬ 
trian corps de arinee, which had left Ancona for 
Pessaro, had been directed toward the lower 
Po, to be joined to the troops in the province 
of Venice. It is at present uncertain whether An¬ 
cona has been entirely evacuated by the Austrians. 
Modena and Brescella are free. The numerous 
municipalities of the Romagna had pronounced 
for the National cause. 
The allied army passed the Scrio on the 13th, 
marching towards the river Oglio. Their advance 
guard is at Coccoaglia. 
The head-quarters of the King of Sardinia are 
at Palazzia. 
An Austrian bulletin, dated Verona, 15th, says 
the different corps de arrnee took their alloted posi¬ 
tions unmolested by the enemy. The division of 
Gen. Urban alone sustained a flight at Castinodolo, 
with Garibaldi’s bands, which, although amount¬ 
ing to 4,000 men and four pieces of cannon, were 
repulsed by the Austrains. The official Austrian 
correspondence says that the organization for the 
defence of the Tyrolese territory was progressing. 
Several companies had already reached there and 
others getting in readiness. The mountain passes 
are all occupied. 
Vienna letters say that the corps de ai'mee com¬ 
manded by the Arch Duke Charles were beginning 
to leave for Italy. The third corps, under the Arch 
Duke Albert, were moving from upper and lower 
Austria to Trieste. 
A second Austrian extraordinary levy is to be 
terminated by the 15th of September, and the 
standard military stature of the men reduced. 
Garibaldi’s corps is represented as becoming 
daily more formidable. It was threatening the 
Southern Tyrol, where the people were getting ex¬ 
tremely impatient of Austrian rule. 
Great Britain.— The new Ministry is consti¬ 
tuted as follows, but hhd not been officially an¬ 
nounced :—First Lord of the Treasury — Viscount 
Palmerston. Chancellor of the Exchequer —W. 
E. Gladstone. Foreign Secretary —Lord John Rus¬ 
sell. Home Secretary —Sir C. G. Lewis. Colonial 
Secretary —Duke of Newcastle. War Secretary — 
Sidney Herbert. India Secretary —Sir C. Wood. 
First Lord of the Admiralty — Duke of Somerset. 
Lord Chancellor — Lord Campbell. President of 
the Council — Earl of Granville. Private Seal — 
Duke of Argyle. Post-Master General — Lord El¬ 
gin. President of the Board of Trade — Mr. Cob- 
den. President of the Poor Law Board — Milner 
Gibson. First Commissioner of Works —Mr. Card- 
well. Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster — Sir 
G. Gray. Sir A. Cockburn succeeds Lord Camp¬ 
bell as Lord Chief Justice of England. 
Lord Derby, in the Lords, officially announced 
the resignation of his Cabinet, and in doing so he 
warmly defended the foreign policy of Lord 
Malmesbury. Earl of Granville reserved an ex¬ 
planation of the policy of the new government for 
a future day. The House adjourned till the 21st. 
In the Commons, Mr. D’Israeli announced the 
resignation of the Cabinet and moved a further 
udjournment to the 21st, which was agreed to. 
The Times in its city article quotes advices from 
Frankfort, which state that the German Confedera¬ 
tion are understood to have resolved that 80 000 
men, namely, that 40,000 Prussians and 40,000 
Austrians shall be sustained on the Rhine. There 
were also strong rumors that Prussia will issue 
semi-decisive announcements in the course of a 
few days. According to the prevalent conjecture 
peace is to be proposed to the Emperor Napoleon 
on certain conditions and if these are refused, Ger¬ 
many is to enter into the war. Under these cir¬ 
cumstances, there is great anxiety and stagnation 
in all commercial cities. 
The Times also says that Russia is making most 
warlike preparations at all the naval depots. The 
Neva division of the fleet is reported to number 
88 first class ships and the Baltic fleet 85 sail of the 
line, of which 14 screw steamers are at Cronstadt. 
The Times accounts for the recent shipments of 
gold from St. Petersburg to London, as payment 
for machinery made in America and elsewhere.— 
Large Russian orders are lying still unexecuted 
in England. 
France. — The Moniteur would soon publish a 
decree, conferring the promotion of honors and 
crosses on nearly one thousand persons, for mili¬ 
tary service in Italy. 
It was reported that the Generals under Pellis- 
sier are forthwith to repair to their respective sta¬ 
tions, and it was considered not improbable that 
the army now called the “Army of the East,’, 
would be denominated the “Army of the Rhine.b 
1 he Emperor is said to have demanded 100,000 men 
This, however, is 
but a trifle in comparison. On a rabbit, bought at 
two francs and fifteen sous, the cook pockets the 
fifteen sous. For each dish ordered from a restau¬ 
rant, the servant gets a premium of five sous. So 
with butter, and every other article of food. I 
have calculated that, over "and above her wages, 
my cook’s profits amount to at least fifty cents a 
day. Nor is she satisfied with this. She has made 
a nice little bargain with my butcher, to the effect 
that when she buys six pounds of mutton or veal, 
for me, the butcher is to add a pound of sirloin 
steak, for her. There is no use in changing ser¬ 
vant or butcher. They are all thieves alike, and I 
might only make bad worse if I interfered.” 
The Wool Markets. 
NEW YORK. June 30.—Our market continues quiet, vet 
prices are well sustained, to the great chagrin of a portion 
of the trade, who are straining every nerve to depress the 
market, and quoting sales fully 5c lower than any good se¬ 
lection can be obtained in any wool-growing districts; but 
this mode of transacting business will in due course of time 
have a telling effect on those who falsify facts. The clip¬ 
ping season is now well nigh over, and the result is, nearly 
one-third of the crop in the Western States has been bought 
chiefly on manufacturing account, at an advance of fully 5 c 
i? lb. on last year’s prices. Dealers and speculators gener- 
i ally have purchased lightly, and this is well for the manu¬ 
facturers of goods—it would indeed be a blessing to them 
often if there were no “ middle men” to come between 
them and wool-growers; but the great want of credit on 
their part, heretofore, has been so seriously felt that, with¬ 
out the assistance of the “middle men,” it would be diffi¬ 
cult for them to keep their looms in active motion. But 
those who now run the majority of our mills were not the 
constructors of them, and they probably bought very many 
of them under the auctioneer’s hammer, at 50 cents on the 
dollar, or less; consequently they possess greater means 
than their predecessors, and therefore they or their agents 
now seek out the wool-growers, and are the principal pur¬ 
chasers of the clip, at the highest prices, too; indeed, the 
majority of them are always willing to pay the farmers at 
all times a proper remuneration for their wool. Let not our 
interior friends, therefore, be led astray by most of the re¬ 
ports emanating from here. In fleeces there is nothing of 
moment transpiring, and the few small sales making are 
mostly of inferior descriptions, which are no real guide to 
the market; the transactions include 80,000 lbs. common to 
fuli-blood fleece at 36K@57.Ke; 20,000 lbs. Canadian at 25® 
30c; 200 bales California at 16@20c; 50 do at 20@25cfor fine; 
25,000 lbs. pulled at 30@48c; 80 bales Cape at 34c; and 400 
do do in Boston at 30c, cash, time and interest. Before 
closing, however, it may not be amiss to warn our farming 
friends against exalted prices. It seems, according to our 
correspondence, that very many base their prices on the 
extraordinary sales quoted in our last weekly issue, made 
at 70c, Washington county, Pennsylvania. But they forget 
that these wools excel in quality anything probably grown 
this year in the United States. Anything over 55@<>0c is too 
high a price to be paid in the country even for the finest 
picklock qualities; and none, we believe, has paid such 
high rates but a prominent Eastern wool manufacturing 
concern and the Philadelphia dealers. We quote:

Weather of Last Half of June and the Month. 
The average of this half is 67:3°, and for 22 years 
is 69:2°; and the month is 63:4°, and for the 22 
years is 66:2°. The mean heat, then, for this half 
and for each of the halves, and of course for the 
month, is below the average about 3°. The last 
half has been warmer than the first. We had a 
cold period for three days at the first of the last 
half, and another on the last day, both owing to 
thunder showers here or in sight, or extending 
far over the country. 
We had a hot period in the last half week. On 
the 27th, the heat was92°, the 28th was91°, and the 
29th was equally hot at 12, but there was a thun¬ 
der shower passed over us, and the weather cooled 
some degrees before 2 P. M., and much more after¬ 
wards, so that our heat on the 30th at seven A. M., 
was 52°, and only 64 0 at 2 P. M. of this day. 
The changes have been great through the month; 
really unusual weather; great cold rapidly follow¬ 
ing high temperature. Hence, vegetation has been 
slow, except on the first half of the present week, 
when Indian corn advanced with great rapidity. 
Great rains have prevailed over the country. 
The Mississippi was very high in the first part of 
the month, and much damage was done by the 
flood of that river, and of others. 
The flowers of the season, both cultivated and 
common, have been splendid, and the fruits of the 
season abundant. Strawberries have been prolific 
through the month, and, with cherries, have been 
earlier than usual. The rain here has been below 
the average, and some farms begin to suffer from 
drouth. 
The effects of the frosts of ..the first half of the 
month have not been so injurious as was feared.— 
The wide extent of the frost was remarkable, as 
was its varying power in localities of the same 
vicinity. In some places winter wheat and winter 
barley were killed ; in many Indian corn and pota¬ 
toes, as well as many garden vegetables. But 
some have grown again, and some could be 
replanted. The leaves of shrubs and forest trees, 
eveu in the south part of our county, which were 
then young and tender, were entirely killed, and in 
two days the appearance was as if a fire had passed 
over them; but they will put forth again, as thet 
were seen to do after the great cold of June, 1810, 
so that in Autumn, the vegetation will not appear 
to have suffered. 
The harvest of winter barley commenced in the 
county a few days ago, and the wheat harvest is 
nearly finished in Southern Illinois, Southern Ohio, 
Ac. The month has been relatively healthful in the 
great vicissitudes in the weather; and trust in the 
providence of Infinite Goodness is loudly demanded 
and will be richly rewarded. e. n.

]yj A 3ST INT Y » S COMBINED 
REAPER ^UNTID MOWER, 
WITH WOOD'S IMPROVEMENT, 
For the Harvest of 1859. 
The subscriber begs to inform the public that he continues 
to manufacture this popular machine, and pledges himself to 
produce an implement that will fully sustain its former repu¬ 
tation, as the best combined machine yet introduced, and 
inferior to none, either as a Reaper or Mower. 
It has had a steady and increasing popularity from the first; 
achieving a complete success in the first important trial at 
Geneva in 1852. It carried off the highest honors at the great 
National Field Trial at Syracuse in 1857; and amidst all the 
competition and trials of 1858, came out with more and better 
established points of excellence than ever before. 
The general principles peculiar to this machine, and upon 
which it is constructed, have proved so successful that there 
has been no attempt to change them. 
The main effort during the last year has been to improve 
its mechanical construction, to make it stronger and more 
durable, and sustain its reputation as the leading and most 
acceptable machine to the largest class of farmers in the 
country. 
Warranted capable of cutting from 10 to 15 acres of grass 
or grain per day, in a workmanlike manner. 
Price of Machine as heretofore, varies according to width 
of cut, and its adaptation in size and strength to different 
sections of the country, from *125 to *150, delivered here on 
the cars. WALTER A. WOOD,

ceipts on Saturday were fair. Sales at *1,35 for red Ohio, 
and *1 for standard spring. Receipts of corn larger Buy¬ 
ers and sellers were apart, buyers holding off for lower

TORONTO, July 2.—Flour—’ The market for flour is still 
dull, with no demand for export, although there has been 
some shipments, perhaps to the extent of six or eight hun¬ 
dred barrels, to the north and west of the city. If a move¬ 
ment is noted at all in prices, it is towards a decline. Nom¬ 
inal wholesale rates are:—Superfine, *6,25@6,50; fancy *6 75

Fall Wheat— The market since our last has not been 
well sustained, a tendency toward a decline having prevail¬ 
ed throughout the week. The market closed heavily at the 
following quotations;—Good and prime samples 7s 3d@7s 
6d; medium and ordinary 6s 6d@7s,and inferior os $ bushel. 
Spring wheat continues to lie in good demand at 6s 6d@6s 
9d, and good samples at 7s $ bushel. The quality continues 
to be of very excellent character. Barley or Rye is not 
offered at all in the market, and the quotations therefore 
must be purely nominal at 3s 6d@3s 9d per bushel Oats 
are in larger supply, with considerable fluctuation in prices 
In the early part of the week 2s lOd 18 bushel was paid for 
wholesale lots, but recently 2s 9d®2s lOd have been the 
rates; the retail prices are 2s lld@3s "J bushel. Peas are 
in small supply, with an active inquiry at Is@4s 6d $ bushel 
Nothing above these rates could be realized, except per¬ 
haps for a very extreme sample.— Globe.

Probably Fatal Illness of Secretary Floyd. 
—A Washington correspondent of the St. Louis 
Republican says:—“ I regret to report the contin¬ 
ued ill-health of Secretary Floyd, who is now so¬ 
journing at the Military Asylum, near this city.— 
His late trip to Virginia seems to have had but lit¬ 
tle effect upon his disease, and his friends are seri¬ 
ously apprehensive he will not soon recover. A 
member of the Cabinet, who visited Gov. Floyd on 
the 1st inst., in the country, expresses the opinion 
that his disease will probably terminate fatally.— 
His family are anxious for him to retire from the 
Cabinet, and he may do so at an early day should 
his residence in the country not produce a change 
for the better.”

Patented February 224, 1859. 
During the six years I have been engaged in the manufac- 
fure of the Manny Combined Reaper and Mower, I have 
given much thought and attention to the construction of what 
I foresaw would be a great want of the Farmers—a lighter 
and cheaper machine expressly for mowing, than had yet 
been made. 
And now, after the most thorough and repeated experi¬ 
ments and tests in every variety of field, and in all kinds and 
in every condition of grass, I am prepared, with entire confi¬ 
dence, to offer to the farmers and dealers of the United 
States, the great desideratumxn this department of Agricul¬ 
tural labor-saving machines—a Mower, superior in its capac¬ 
ity for good work to any hitherto introduced, of easy draft, 
light, cheep, and durable. 
This machine I now offer as my latest Invention, to meet a 
special want of farmers, and to place within the reach of all, 
a Mower that for practical working, cheapness and simplici¬ 
ty, will be without a rival. 
I build Two-Horse and One-Horse Mowers. The Two- 
Horse Mower weighs 425 its., and cuts a swath four feet wide 
(or more if specially ordered.) The One-Horse Mower weighs 
30 lbs. less, (395 its.,) and cuts a swath three and a half feet 
wide. 
For a more full description of the Mower, reference is made 
to my Pamphlets, which will be furnished on application.— 
With each machine will be furnished two extra guards, two 
extra sections, one wrench and oil can. 
Warranted capable of cutting ten acres of grass per day in 
a workmanlike manner.

P BALL’S 01-31 TO 
REAPER, AND MOWER. 
The Subscriber wishes to call the attention of the readers 
of the Rural New-Yorker to his improvement in Reaping 
and Mowing Machines. 
Bali’s Ohio Mower is known in almost every section of 
the country where Machines of this kind have been used.— 
It was first introduced in the year 1856, and so rapidly did it 
gain the public confidence that five hundred were sold the 
first yearof its existence. In the year 1857 its sales amounted 
to near one thousand machines, and in that year it was sent 
to the great National Trial of Reapers and Mowers, held 
at Syracuse, N. Y., and although the machine used at that 
trial was not got up for that purpose, but was one of 15 sent 
there for sale—and notwithstanding this machine entered 
that contest a stranger and almost friendless, there being no 
one present to take charge of it, or to represent it, who felt 
any particular interest in its success—it received the highest 
number of credit marks (61,) as a Siugle Mower of any 
machine on the ground ! 
Had it been heralded and introduced to the World with a 
flourish of trumpets, and a long retinue of influential friends 
interested in its success—puffed in the East and glorified in 
the West, by the owners of territorial rights—displayed at 
\Y orld’s Fairs in Europe, and commended by potentates and 
princes that know as much about machinery as they do of 
the density or quantity of matter in the center of the earth 
—or had it ever been persecuted into notoriety by a host of 
jealous competitors, and been manufactured iu various 
States and Countries—its sale and success might have been 
much more extensive, but the machine itself not one whit 
more complete and satisfactory. 
During the last year the Machine has been entirely 
remodeled and vastly improved by the Patentee, and is 
now offered to the market as one of the best Combined Ma¬ 
chines in the country. Space will not permit us to give a 
detailed description of the character and operation of the 
machines. For this information I beg leave to refer custo¬ 
mers to my printed Circulars in the hands of my Agents 
The following named gentlemen are Agents for the sale of 
my Machines during the coming season. They have sample 
machines on exhibition at their several places of business, 
and also be happy to communicate any further information 
that may be desired.

Wild Horses from South America. — Captain 
Thomas, of the schooner Iiurdett Hart, from the 
River Platte, has brought five horses and four 
ponies to Brooklyn. They are said to be beautiful 
specimens of the wild horse of that country. Capt. 
T. spent some time and traveled a considerable dis¬ 
tance to procure the finest and best that could be 
obtained, and these are selections from droves ex¬ 
ceeding 10,000 in number. They are indeed a 
noble sight, and though they have been on board 
for 45 days, are in as good condition as though just 
taken from a stable. Their coats shine and look in 
every way as though they had been under the 
management of a first rate groom, and received as 
much attention as a man who thinks as much of his 
horse as his wife, could bestow.
