MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL 
FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Littue. 
ARRIVAL OF TRIE CAMBRIA. 
Three Bays later from Europe. 
The Cunard steam ship Cambria from Liver¬ 
pool Dee. 27th arrived at Halifax on the evening 
of January 6th. She brings 28 passengers from 
Boston. 
England. —Two great events have transpired 
in the course of the few days previous to the de¬ 
parture of the Cambria, each capable of seriously 
tion of Louis Napoleon as President of France for 
ten years’ by a very large majority. 
France.— The engrossing topic of the Presiden¬ 
tial Election was occupying the French mind, to 
the exclusion of all others. 
Louis Napoleon has been elected to the Presi¬ 
dency for ten years, by an overwhelming majority 
of votes. 
A telegraphic dispatch from Paris, Dec. 26, gives 
the votes of 18 Departments, of which 23 were 
complete, yes, 6,011,000; no, 709,000. 
Morocco.— The Clamor Public quotes a letter 
from Gibraltar of the 5th instant, stating that the 
Emperor of Morocco had refused to ratify the trea¬ 
ty concluded between the French Admiral Du 
Bonrdieu and the Pasha of Tangier, and is march¬ 
ing towards the town at the head of an army of 
40,000 men. 
The alarming report has induced the Spanish 
Government to receive on board and relieve the 
Europeans who might wish to quit Morocco.— 
There is but little doubt but that Tangiers and 
the other Morocco towns along the coast will bo 
sacked by the Bedouins, the moment hostilities 
are commenced. 
Markets.— Flour commanded full prices, and 
and was not offering freely. 
Corn had a declining tendency. 
Provisions steady and unchanged. 
Money abundant at easy rates. 
American stocks firm and improving. 
Trade in Manchester more healthy and firmer.

and will probably be elected. 
Telegraphs in the United States. — There are 
already in the United States and Canada more 
than 12,000 miles of wire, involving a capital of 
more than $3,000,000. To work these lines, cost 
annually 720 tons of zinc, worth $57,600, more 
than a million pounds of nitric acid, worth, $117,- 
800, and $27,000 worth of mercury, besides a con¬ 
siderable value in sulphuric acid, <fec. On the line 
from Pittsburg to Cincinnati alone there were 
transmitted, in tlio year 1850, 364,559 paid de¬ 
spatches, and the revenue received was $73,278. 
Taxes in Europe. —The comparative taxation 
of some of the countries of Europe will be seen by 
the following statement. In England the taxes 
are equal to ten dollars a head for the whole pop¬ 
ulation ; in France, seven dollars and a half; in 
Holland, eight dollars; in Belgium, five dollars 
and a half; in Spain, five dollars. Taking the 
comparative wealth of these countries into the ac¬ 
count, England is less heavily taxed than any of 
them. John Bull, however, imagines himself to 
be the most egregiously taxed of all mortals extant 
Pennsylvania State Finances.— The Auditor 
General has published a statement of the receipts 
and expenditures of the State for the year ending 
November 30th, from which it appears that the 
State finances are in an improving condition. I’he 
revenues from all sources for the fiscal year reach¬ 
ed $1,570,393 ; which is $135,262 more than was 
received last year. The expenditures for the same 
time were $4,780,667, which is $211,614 more 
than the expenditures of 1849-’50. The balance 
in th Treasury is $547,979. 
Old Times.— Tn 1743, Franklin, then postmas¬ 
ter at Philadelphia, notified the public that “the 
Northern post would set out for New York every 
Thursday, at 3 o’clock in the afternoon, until 
Christinas.” Now in addition to boats and ves¬ 
sels going round by sea, there are five daily trains 
by the railroads, and the average time of running 
is about four and a half hours. 
A long land Journey.— Lieut. Pirn, of the 
English navy, who has left via St. Petersburgh 
and Siberia, in search of Sir John Franklin, pro- 
poseses to travel full 16,0fi0 miles, and all bv land 
or over ice. This is probably the longest land 
journey ever undertaken. 
California Jku 
is. 
ARRIVAL OF THE DANIEL WEBSTER. 
Two Weeks Later Intelligence. 
The Steamer Daniel Webster arrived at New 
York, Jan. 11. She brings over 300 passengers, 
and advices from San Francisco to Dec. 15. She 
has on freight and in the hands of passengers 
$560,000. She does not bring the mails. 
Since our last steamer’s issue there has been.con- 
siderable news interesting to our friends in the U. 
States. Rain has fallen in sufficient abundance to 
enable our mining frieuds in the dry diggings to 
prosecute their labors to a great energy and effort. 
Many that had large piles of dirt which they had 
been months throwing up have commenced wash¬ 
ing with great success, so that although operations 
in the river has nearly ceased, there will be little 
or no diminution of the amount produced during 
the winter. 
The great Bear river and Auburn Canal will be 
completed by the first day of January next a pe¬ 
riod of a little more than five months from the 
time of its commencement. This giant, the result 
of private enterprise alone will give employment 
to 10,000 laborers and add millions upon millions 
more to the enormous products of our State. 
The news from the southern portion of the State 
has been less cheering. The Indians from the 
Gila to the settlements near the Pacific are reported 
to have combined for the purpose of driving away 
the entire white population. Attacks have beeu 
made on unoffending citizens, some of whom have 
been killed resisting them ; cattle and horses have 
been driven off, in short a general system of mur¬ 
der and plunder seems to have been adopted by 
the savages. 
On hearing the existence of this combination, 
expresses were forwarded to the military General 
commanding in California, also to the Governor of 
the State, praying for aid. Their prayers have 
been promptly responded to. 
TL* weather is highly favorable, thus enabling 
our farmers to prepare their grounds for the ap¬ 
proaching spring season. This is being more ex¬ 
tensively done than at any previous period. Yet 
our agriculture is as yet hardly in its infancy. 
No placers yield a more bountiful return to the 
laborer than do the fields of the farmers. This fact, 
which is beginning to be well understood, will 
soon cause hundreds who have families to turn 
their attention to this more agreeable and equally 
profitable employment. 
The rapid influx of fhmale population will soon 
bring husbandry into active demand, and as a 
natural consequence will increase productions of 
various kinds. 
The surveys of the first link of the Railway 
from San Francisco to La Jose have been com¬ 
pleted. The report of the engineers is flattering, 
and a route has been located of the most satisfac¬ 
tory character. The length of the line is 48 miles, 
of which 42 are straight. The estimate cost of the 
road is 1,600,000. 
From Oregon.— The advices are one month la¬ 
ter. The news not very interesting. Rains had 
set in and interrupted trade to some extent.— 
Breed Turner, convicted of murder, was hung at 
Hillsborough on the 4th ult. 
Marriages have been astonishingly on the in¬ 
crease during the past month. The Oregonian 
contains a list of 21 marriages which took place 
between the 13tli and 30th of November. 
Considerable excitement on the question where 
the seat of Government was to be located. 
Latest News from “John Brown’s Tract.”— 
An old campaigner out in Pierpont, who wears 
moccasins and shoots deer with a gun, tells us a 
pretty good story in the venison line. It runneth 
nearly as follows:—His company consists of six 
men, and they have killed 300 deer between the 
5th day of November, 1851, and the first day of 
January, 1852. The saddles of these 300 deer 
yielded almost $1,000 in the Boston market. The 
tribe by whom this immense slaughter has been 
made, is composed exclusively of white men, but if 
you could hear them “holler” once up in those 
woods, you would think they were copper color .— 
Ogdensburgh Republ ican. 
Spirits and Segars.— It is said that the Secre¬ 
tary of the Treasury’s Report will show the curi¬ 
ous fact, that, in the fiscal year ’50-’51, the amount 
of imports of brandy and other spirits were $2,- 
590,000 ; whilst of segars alone, there were :jj>2 - 
521,000.

Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, Jan. 14, 1852. j 
Sleighing has been good for the week past, and our 
streets have presented an animated appearance.’ The 
farmers have been liberal in bringing forward their pro¬ 
ducts, and prices have in general been sustained. 
FLOUR—The market is barren of transactions. No 
change in price to note. 
GRAIN—The amount coming in is readily sold at quot 
ed prices, and frequently commands a shade more than is 
reported. 
PROVISIONS—Nothing new in provisions. Dressed 
hogs sell at $5,75, and choice, heavy, being $15. Potatoes 
are not over abundant and sell at 59®96c as per quantity. 
POULTRY—Y'ery little doing. Though we find no 
abatement in prices. 
HAY—This article is in demand. The good sleighing 
enables fanners from a distance to bring forward supplies. 
Very little change. 
WOOD—I,arge quantities are brought in, and sells a i 
quoted rates: any tendency in prices to recede are check¬ 
ed by purchasers for the wood-yards. 
WOOL—No transactions have come to our knowledge. 
SHEEP PELTS—The supply is abundant and prices 
maintained. 
FLOUR BARRELS—We learn nothing new in the bar¬ 
rel line.

Albany Market. 
ALBANY, Jan 10—The market to-day does not pre¬ 
sent any new feature. During the week there has been 
considerable activity, the opening of new avenues tend to 
increase our winter trade. The receipts of property at 
the Western depot have been large, and in the streets a 
fair amount have changed hands The snow storm and 
and the heavy snow drifts, which blocked up the roads in 
the early part of the week,prevented arrivals.

Corn 61®G2)£c f cwt. At Mitwaukie during the past 
week of the year, a very large amount of produce was 
received. The Sentinel of the 30th of December says: 
the warehouses are gradually filling up with grain. Flour 
accumulates rapidly a’so, . nd we think the shipments 
next Spring must he large. The table of exports for the 
season of 1851, which we shall publish in a day or two, 
will show that although the past season h is been the third 
in succession in which our State lias had bad times for its 
crops,yet it has steadily progressed. Flour comes very 
near to the figures of last year, and Wheat exhibit* a large 
falling off. But the shipments of Barley, Oats and Corn 
have largely increased and from being a consumer of beef 
pork, butter. &e. from other States, we have got to be ex 
porters to a considerable extent. 
Pork— The supply of dressed hogs for the last three

mand the market has gained strength and closed with a

Barometers and Thermometers, 
MANUFACTURED by 
Kendall Brothets, New Lebanon, N. Y. 
HP HE convenience and necessity of the Barometer for 
A many purposes of practical life, is every yc. r becom¬ 
ing more apparent. We take this method of informing 
tiie public that we h ive had extensive experience in their 
manufacture, and have given careful attention to accuracy 
ot < ons ruction and neatness of finish. 
Our Thermometers are already too widely known to 
need notice here. We warrant all work that goes from our 
bands. We have pleasure in offering the following testi¬ 
monial from Professor Dewey: 
University of Rochester, Dec. 20, 1851. 
In the construction of Thermometers and Barometers, 
the Kendall Brothers, of New Lebanon, have long been 
distinguished lor the accuracy and excellence of their in¬ 
struments. Their mode of making the divisions was 
original, and lu.s ever been commenced bv thore who tin 
i uerstood it. I need only concur in tiie opinion of gi ntle- 
1 men highly qualified to judge m such cases. 1 have long 
be.-n acquainted with t..e instruments, and am confident 
the public iiKiy s«ilcl v yivc them their putrouitge, and 
expect fo be satisfied with both kinds of the instruments. 
1 have often remarked on the importance of lam era 
posses-mg the Barometers, and of understanding its indi¬ 
cations. J lie latter is not so difficult as isoften supposed, 
and is made relatively easy by the little chartof directions 
accompanying Messrs. Kendall's instruments. 
C. DEWEY, Prof. Nat. Sciences. 
Also to the following, obtained by our Mr. J. K., when 
a manufacturer in Cleveland, O., from Prof. Kirtland, of 
Cleveland Medical College: 
Cleveland, Dec. 29, 1846. 
Mr. Kendall— Sir: I have repeated:y tested both The- 
mometers and Parlor barometers of your construction, 
and it affords me pleasure to slate, that ns regards accu¬ 
racy and workmanship, they far exceed any that I have 
ever obtained from abroad. 
Within the last two years, I have broken three Barome¬ 
ters manufactured elsewhere,while transporting them from 
the city to my residence, a distance of only live miles.— 
1 hey were carried with tbe utmost care and precaution. 
The imp.oved mode, which you have adopted in con¬ 
structing Hie tube and reservoir, renders it perfectly safe 
to transport yours to any part of tiie country. Our citi¬ 
zens, both of ttiis city and the Western country, who may 
have occasion to use such instruments, will find it to their 
advantage to extend their patronage to you, who have been 
so long and favorably known ns an experienced manu¬ 
facturer at New Lebanon, New York. 
Very truly, yours, JARED P. KIRTLAND. 
We are happy to refer the citizens of Rochester and vi¬ 
cinity, to Gen. Gould, of Rochester, who 1ms one of our 
Barometers. 
Our Barometers can be obtained of C. A. Burr, Jewe’er, 
Rochester, and of Messrs. Wiiiard & Hawley, Syracuse, 
or by orders addressed to us. ' [ )i 7-tf. 1

New- York State Agricultural Society’s 
FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD MOKS12 POWER. 
T HE above justly celebrated Powers ns now' made and 
sold by the subscribers, are offered the public with the 
assurance that they are all they are represented—they hav¬ 
ing been very extensively anil thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side by side, with all ihe tread powers known, of 
any note in the country, and been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee 
on Horse-Powers, iti a communication written several 
months after the awardingof premium to the above Horse- 
Power, says: “ I spent much time at the late State Fair, 
[Sept. 1850,] at Albany, in examining the various Horse- 
Powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery & 
Co’s, first with the owners and makers, and heard all they 
could say, and again in their absence—and the result most 
fully convinced me that yours was the best, and if 1 want¬ 
ed one, l would give, TWENTY DOLLARS more for 
yours than any others on tiie grounds; and ns you have 
won the laurels fairly, it is just that you should receive a 
full reward.” 
He further says—“ You know from experience that I 
have no sort of partiality for yoyr establishment, and as a 
committee-man of said Society for years, I have decided 
against 'you oftencr than for you: and if others have a bet¬ 
ter article than you, I would decide in their favor, if the 
decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may.” 
With the testimony of such men as the author of the 
foregoing, when, together with the changeable gearing, and 
other important improvements adopted since last season, 
make it the most convenient, durable, efficient, and eco¬ 
nomical Horse-Power now made; and the public may rest 
nssured of being furnished by us with a superior machine.
