MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
/oftigii fnfelligttut. 
ARRIVAL CP THE ASIA. 
Three Days later from Europe, 
The steamship Asia arrived at New York, on 
the 16tii inst. tSiie brings news from Liverpool to 
the 3d inst. She experienced much difficulty in 
reaching her wharf, in consequence of the immense 
quantity of ice. She brings 49 passenger's. 
Markets. —The grain market has been more 
lively, and in the absence of supplies to any ex¬ 
tent, great firmness has been maintained by hold¬ 
ers, although the demand has not been extensive 
for any article. 
Good flour has advanced 6d@ls per barrel, and 
wheat 2d per bushel, Indian corn neglected.— 
Philadelphia in fair demand at 6s. 9d@7s. Tallow 
active but declining. Beef depressed. Stock of 
American pork exhausted. Bacon arriving more 
freely and dull. Lard firm. Sales 100 tons 42s, 
to 43s. 6d. Wool brisk and prices improving.— 
London money market easy, 
England. —The London Morning Advertiser 
states that the cause of Lord Palmerston’s resig¬ 
nation, was the interference, on the part of the 
Prime Minister, with the affairs of the Foreign 
Secretary; that Lord P. on ascertaining the fact, 
was indignant, and by letter, demanded an ex¬ 
planation. The answer of the Piemier was vague 
and shuffling, and the result was a lengthened cor¬ 
respondence between the Secretary and Premier. 
At the Cabinet meeting only nine out of fifteen 
members were present, and Lord John Russell 
| stated that in consequence of some misunderstaud- 
j ing about Foreign Affairs, Lord P. had thought 
proper t > resign. It is said the Premier wishes to 
place in the Cabinet in order to propitiate the peo¬ 
ple of England, liberal and independent men. 
On the other hand, the News says it must con¬ 
clusively indicate the existence of treachery on the 
part of some members of the English Cabinet; that 
a conspiracy would seem to exist with some one in 
Downing street and the Court of Vienna, to sacri¬ 
fice Lord P., and that apparently a closer alliance 
may be formed between England and Austria. 
France. —The Globe’s correspondent says that 
Louis Napoleon assures those about him, and the 
diplomatic body, that lie desires peace, because it 
is the duty of his position, and the only means of 
re-establishing the finances, and placing the trade, 
agriculture and manufactures, on a good footing. 
It is understood that in order to tranquilize for¬ 
eign governments, Napoleon will almost immedi¬ 
ately send instructions to all liis Ambassadors, de¬ 
siring them to give the Courts the most positive 
assurance of his desire for tjie maintainance of 
peace. He was inaugurated on Thursday, the 1st 
inst., the ceremonies passing off without the slight¬ 
est disturbance. 
Austria, Russia ano Prussia.— The news from 
these countries is very conflicting. Whilst a cer¬ 
tain satisfaction is discernible among the absolut¬ 
ist parties, it is not unmixed with alarm at the 
ambitious propensities of Louis Napoleon. The 
most active military preparations are making in 
every quarter. 
Denmark.— Accounts from Copenhagen report 
all parties agreed not to make any farther conces¬ 
sions to Germany, as regards the Duchies. 
The Danish Ministry have been put in a minori¬ 
ty on a question of an important character, relat¬ 
ing to the credit of the marine service. 
Turkey.— Letters from Constantinople, express 
no little alarm about events in France. An intui¬ 
tive feeling respecting Egypt lias caused deep de¬ 
liberations in the councils of the Porte. 
Persia has become the scene of frightful confu¬ 
sion. 1 he downfall of Mirza Khan, who has been 
Prime Minister since 1848, lias been followed by 
a complete state of anarchy.

ARRIVAL OF THE ELDORADO. 
One Week Later. 
The Eldorado arrived at New York, on the lath 
inst., having left Chagres on the 4th. She brings 
the California mails, $1,082,997 specie on freight, 
and 211 passengers. 
During the last four days the Eldorado has ex¬ 
perienced heavy gales and seas from the north¬ 
west, anti proved herself a first rate sea boat. 
J he expedition against the Indians appears to 
have been very successful. The town of Angua 
Calieute had been burned; nevertheless, the In¬ 
dians are still creating great havoc; only a few 
days previous to the above date, they murdered 
six men who were crossing the country with a 
drove of 3,000 sheep. Antonia Garra, a Chief of 
the Can villas, says his brethren are fighting against 
the taxes. 
The steamer Union arrived about 8 o’clock this 
morning. All quiet at Chagres. She has 150 pas¬ 
sengers, and four days later news from Jamaica. 
It is reported that Admiral Seymour had order¬ 
ed the brig Express, now stationed at San Juan, 
to Kingston, to hold a Court of Inquiry as to the 
firing into the Prometheus.

lowing shipments of gold by the Panama :

The Nevada Journal recommends the division 
of the waters of the South Yuba, so as to cause 
them to flow through the diggings of that, great 
mining town. 
The plan proposed is the construction of an 
aqueduct sufficiently large to carry the main body 
of that stream. The work is estimated to cost 
$3,000,000. 
The Sonora Herald is of the opinion that the 
miners are doing well. 
Political Items! 
—— Col. Benton reached Washington on Mon¬ 
day, the 13th inst., too late for the Kossuth dinner.

duction of taxes, free school education, an amend¬ 
ment to the banking law, and a single district 
elective system. 
-The Tennessee Democratic Convention for 
flic selection of delegates to the Baltimore Con voli¬ 
tion, assembled on the 10th inst,, at Nashville. 
Hon. C. Judson presided. Messrs. Nicholson and 
Guild, were appointed delegates from the State at 
large to Baltimore. A delegate from each Con¬ 
gressional district was chosen. 
-John Bell was elected President pro tem., 
of the Senate, of Mississippi, on the 8th inst., and 
Mr. Patton, Speaker. The Democratic Conven¬ 
tion assembled on the same day. Fifty counties 
were represented. Delegates to the Baltimore 
Convention for the State at large, Wm. Barksdifle 
and E. C. Wilkins. District delegates: 1st, J. H. 
Taylor; 2d, J. S. Fotherlan; 3d, C. R. Singleton;

-The new Canal Board of this State, organ¬ 
ized on the 12th inst,, F. Follett, President. The 
eastern division was assigned to Com. Mather, the 
middle division to Com. Fitzhugh, and the west¬ 
ern to Com. Follett. Alex. P. Ten Broeck was 
appointed Clerk of the Board, as also, of Com. 
of eastern division. We understiuidtliat the Canal 
Board will proceed to make the Canal Appoint¬ 
ments on the 5th day of February next. 
Lunatic Asylum at the WesL —We learn from 
the Albany Register, that petitions are in circula¬ 
tion in the western part of the State, praying the 
Legislature to pass an act, authorizing the estab¬ 
lishment of another Lunatic Asylum m Western 
New York to accommodate 225 inmates, and that 
Commissioners be appointed to locate the same. 
It is stated that the Asylum at Utica is consider¬ 
ed by its Superintendent as full, its number of in¬ 
mates averaging from 450 to 470—the other Asy¬ 
lums in the State are in an equally crowded con¬ 
dition. 
A just Proposition. —Mr. Pierce of Ulster, has 
given notice of an intention to introduce into the 
Senate a bill to amend the assessment laws so that 
real estate will be taxed only on its unencumber¬ 
ed value. This is a just and equitable measure, and 
the Legislature should not hesitate to sanction it. 
Great injustice prevails under the existing law re¬ 
lating to the taxation of real estate, if we un¬ 
derstand the nature of Mr. Pierce’s bill, it will 
remedy the difficulty of which the people are 
loudly complaining. 
A Little Monster.— The State Bank of Indi¬ 
ana, maintains a circulation of $4,681,993, the 
largest, we believe, of any one institution in the 
country, though the Bank of Kentucky and the 
Northern Bank of Kentucky taken together, are 
larger. The field of circulation out of their re¬ 
spective States, is the same with all three, viz.;J% 
Illinois, Missouri and the part of Southern Ohio, 
and the river trade of Mississippi. They arc re¬ 
spectively supported by a fair amount of specie. 
The Indiana Bank lias $1,287,215.— Buff. four. 
Heavy Contract.— We understand that Mr. Geo 
Law, of New York, in connexion with Mr. Sey- 
j mour of Utica, and others, have closed a contract 
with the Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad Com¬ 
pany, for the entire survey, grading, bridging, su¬ 
perstructure, iron, depots, equipage, Ac., of their 
road,‘ for, nine millions of dollars. This road is 
about 330 miles long, and is to be delivered in 
complete working order in all respects within five 
years for that sum. Three and a half millions in 
cash, and the remainder in sfpek and bonds. 
Dreadful Water-Spouts. —Two immense wa¬ 
ter-spouts passed over a portion of the Island of 
Sicily on tiie 8th ult. They were nearly a mile 
apart, and swept over Marsala with great velocity, 
uprooting trees and drawing men, women and cat¬ 
tle up into the vortex, and dashing them down 
with terrible destruction, amid bail stoues and 
torrents of rain. Going over Castiemarre, near 
Stabia, it destroyed half the town, and washed 2UU 
of the inhabitants into the sea, who ail perished. 
Upwards of 500 persons have been destroyed by 
this terrible visitation.

Roru New-Yorker Office, / 
Rochester, Jan. ‘21, 1852. y 
There has been unusual cold weather, with an abuti 
dance of snow the past week. Some days have been too 
stormy and cold (or out door business, and few farmers 
have been in from the country. It was confidently ex¬ 
pected business would present a greater activity afier the 
holidays were past, but wc hear on every hand complaints 
of dullness. The money market is far from being easy, 
there being an active demand for all the banks choose to 
discount. Business genetnliy is very healthy, and may tie; 
expected lo progress,with the return of more genial weather. 
FLOUR—At this season very little is doing except fo 
home consumption. It sells in small lots at £4(0)4,51) and 
some choice brands command §5,25. 
GRAIN—We learn of no transactions, except the sale 
of the iitlle coming in by teams. All kinds fo'r feed are in 
active demand. We note barley malt selling in Albany at 
90®95c. 
PROVISIONS—The trade in dressed hogs is falling off, 
and hut few appear in market. Prices are rather improv¬ 
ed, the better grades selling at §6(35,2.5. Beef has also ad¬ 
vanced, selling freely at §4(5)5. We hear of a sale of 51) 
head stall fed, for an eastern market at §5,25 delivered at 
railroad. Mutton carcases are selling at §3,50(5) l,5t). — 
Butchers find it difficult to keep up a good supply of the 
different meats. Potatoes sell readily at 50(5)09, not 90, as 
printed la-t week. 
POULTRY—The supply is small. We hear of no ad¬ 
vance, though very few are to be found at the shops. 
HAY—From present appearances,prices will be sustain¬ 
ed, and possibly advance, as they luve in some insiauces, 
though our quotation is not changed. The straw' m.,rket 
;s brisk. 
WOOD—Large quantities are coming la, which find a 
warm reception, at previous rates. 
WOOL—These cold days render the demand for flannel 
imperative, though we hear of no corresponding movement 
in wool. 
SHEEP PELTS—Large quantities come in occasional¬ 
ly, though some fine ones may sell above our mark. 
FLOUR BARRELS—No quotations to make.

Lima and its Schools.— Lima is becoming a 
perfect Athens, and its light wiill hereafter, as it 
lias already, exert a mighty influence in showing 
forth the mental and moral vigor of our people.— 
The schools at that place, arc at present very full 
—numbering about a thousand pupils in all de¬

were there suitable buildings for their accommoda¬

A Long I kip on Lake Erie.-— The schooner 
Westchester returned to Buffalo on the 18th ult, 
after an absence oi 11 days on Lake Erie, without 
having beep able to make a port J The Courier 
says she lay through the worst part of the slorwi 
under Long Point, For several days the crew 
were obliged ,(o live os one meal a day, and they 
burnt up everything which could be spared about 
their vessel, fo keep from freezing to deatfo^r-

The Boston Tea Party.—O f the famous band 
of patriots who destroyed the tea in Boston har¬ 
bor on the memorable 16th of December, 1773, 
seventy-nine years ago, on the 16th ult., otic is still 
living, as we learn from the last number of Har¬ 
per’s Magazine. When the present century dawned 
lie had almost reached the goal of three score years 
and ten. And now, at the age of one hundred and 
fifteen years, David Kinj»ison, of Chicago, Illinois, 
holds the eminent position of the last survivor of 
the Boston Tea Party 1 
A Mammoth Hog !— We last week saw a speci¬ 
men of the hog, which surpasses any thing of the 
kind that ever came under our observation. He 
was brought to town by Mr. Perley Upton : was 
raised by Elijali Parker, of Cambria, Niagara Co.; 
and is now owned by Bean & Terry, of Byron.— 
His weight was 1,201) lbs ! If lie keeps on grow¬ 
ing for the year to come as lie has for the past 
year, he will be a proper subject for the museum. 
—Batavia Advocate. 
Roses and Ioe !—The Plaquemine, La., Senti¬ 
nel, of the 20th Dec., says, that rose bushes in that 
place, with full blown roses on them, were on that 
day thickly covered with glistening icicles. They 
presented a singular contrast, and a very rare sight 
for that latitude. The recent snow storm also ex¬ 
tended all over Florida, and has probably injured 
the orange trees to a considerable extent. It is 
unusual to see such a snow storm in Florida. 
Death ok a Ptavi-ER.-,-Mr. John Chinas, of Cal¬ 
edonia, died .on the 7th, aged 84 years. He was 
oi Inverness, Scotland. He was the second set¬ 
tler in the town of York, and by industry and en¬ 
ergy accumulated a handsome property. Mr. 
Ralph Drown preceded Mr. C, as a pioneer, and Ls 
still livimr.

Barometers and Thermometers, 
MANUFACTURED BY 
Kendall Broiheis, New Lebanon, N. Y. 
T MIE convenience and necessity of the Barometer for 
many purposes-of practical life, is every year becom¬ 
ing more apparent. We take this method of informing 
the public that we It tve had extensive expeiience in their 
manufacture, and have given careful attention to accuracy 
of t ons ruction and neatness of finish. 
Our Thermometers <.re already too widely known to 
need notice here. We warrant all work that goes from onr 
hands. 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 for tbe accuracy and excellence of their in¬ 
struments. Their mode of making the divisions was 
original, and has ever I een commended by those who tin 
derstood it. I need only concur in ttic opinion of gi mle- 
men highly qualified lo judge in such cases. I have long 
been acquainted with the instruments, and tun confident 
that the public may safely give them their patronage, and 
expect to be satisfied with both kinds of the instruments. 
i have often remarked on the importance of farmers 
possescing the Barometers, and of understanding its indi¬ 
cations. The latter is not so difficult ns isoften supposed, 
aud is made relatively easy by tbe 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. Iuuti.anh, of 
Cleveland Medical College: 
Cleveland, Dec. 2P, 1846. t 
Mr. Kendall— Sir: I have repeatedly tested both The- 
mometers and Parlor Barometers of your construction, 
and it affords me pleasure to state, that as regards accu¬ 
racy and workmanship, they far exceed any'that 1 have 
ever obtained from abroad. 
Within the last two years, I have broken three Barome¬ 
ters manufactured elsewhere, while transporting them I rom 
the city to tny residence, a distance of only five miles._ 
They were carried with tbe utmost care and precaution. 
The improved mode, which you have adopted in con¬ 
structing the tube and reservoir, renders it perfectly safe 
to trans[iort yours to any part of the country. Our citi¬ 
zens, both of this city and tiie 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 as 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 has one of our 
Barometers. 
Our Barometers can he obtained of C. A. Burr, Jewe’er, 
Rochester, and of Messrs. Willard Sc HawdSy, Syracuse’, 
or by orders addressed to us. [1‘7-tf.] ’
