ARRIVAL OF THE HUMBOLDT. 
Sis Days Later from Europe. 
Tin? Humboldt arrived at Halifax, on the 1st 
inst She left Cowes on the 14th, and immediate¬ 
ly after her departure she experienced a succes¬ 
sion of heavy gales, and in lat. .‘10 she met a tre- 
menduous sea, damaging her rudder so badly that 
she was steered with the greatest difficulty. She 
left on the 2d for New York. 
Markets. —Cotton active and firm. Breadstuff's 
improving. Supply of flour and corn limited— 
holders asking advanced rates for both. Several 
parcels of Indian corn sold at an advance of (id. 
per quarter. 
Liverpool cotton market buoyant. Sales on 
Saturday and Monday, 12,000 bales, chiefly to the 
trade. 
At Manchester there was a good business doing, 
and the close of the market was healthy. * For 
lard higher rates were asked. Other provisions 
were dull. 
Exgland. —The London Times announces that 
Parliament will be opened on the 3d of February 
by the Queen in person, and that the present Cab¬ 
inet is resolved to face the difficulties of the ses¬ 
sion. The Times gives no hope that the Russell 
Government will survive the session. The Times 
recommends a reconstruction of the Ministry on 
broad and liberal ground as the only hope for Lord 
'John Russell. 
Sir II. Smith, commander-in-chief at the Cape 
of Good Hope, has been superseded by the Hon. 
G. Cathcart. 
France.— The President of the French Repub¬ 
lic lias issued a decree dissolving tlie National 
Guards throughout, but they are to be reorganized 
when deemed necessary to maintain public order. 
In such case the President will appoint the com¬ 
mandants. 
It is daily expected that Louis Napoleon will 
declare himself Emperor, but it was felt that such 
a step would not add to the despotic power he 
now exercises. 
Large numbers of persons were being shipped 
to the pestilent swamps of Cayenne. 
Decrees had also been issued banishing Victor 
Hugo, Charms, and a great number of the Moun¬ 
tain ]>artv, from the territories of France, Algeria, 
and the Colonies. The same decrees order the re¬ 
moval of Gcil Chaugarnier, Laroorciere, I Sedan, M. 
Thiers, Gerardia and 12 others for a time, for rea¬ 
sons of public security. The Generals had been 
released from the fortress of Ham and escorted to 
the frontier. 
Arrests continue to be made in all parts, and 
there was virtually a reign of terror. 
The French funds have fallen considerably. 
I NiHA and China.— Dates from Bombay to Dec. 
17th have been received. The north-western fron¬ 
tiers were in a threatening state; Sir C. Camp- 
| bell’s forces not having entered. Bombay was 
perfectly tranquiL 
Miscellaneous. —It is thought probable that 
the Marquis of Clanricarde would replace the Mar¬ 
quis of Nonnandy at Paris. 
The London News says, in reference to the 
Prometheus affair, that the British Cabinet will 
express to the Cabinet in Washington, in frank 
and manly terms, their regret at what has occur¬ 
red. 
California Jimis 
ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUS. 
Two Weeks Later. 
The Prometheus arrived at New York, Jan. 30, 
bringing 355 passengers and $(53,000 in gold dust 
on freight, and $800,000 in the hands of passen¬ 
gers. 
Markets. —The late rains have depressed trade, 
and the store houses are groaning under the weight 
of goods, but no sales scarcely being made, the 
merchants have no funds to remit home. 
Gold dust is scarce, and some sales made as high 
as $17,76. 
Summary of Nf.ws. —The San Francisco Pica¬ 
yune of Jan. 1st says, the location of the seat of 
Government is involved in as deep mystery as ever 
—the partisans of San Jose and Vallejo, sparing 
no exertion on either side to secure it. On the 
30th ult., a meeting, consisting of forty-one mem¬ 
bers elect to the Legislature, was held in San 
Francisco, for the purpose of consulting together 
as to the place where the next Legislature should 
be held—when the question was decided in favor 
of Vallejo, by a majority of 28 to 13. But as the 
whole meeting did not constitute one half of the 
members of the Legislature, it is impossible, of 
course, to consider that vote as setting the ques¬ 
tion at rest. 
The news from the mines is encouraging, the 
yield in the placer diggings being very bountiful 
since the rain set in. 
The survey of the railroad from San Francisoto 
San Jose has been completed. Its total cost is es ¬ 
timated at $1,539,126 17. We fear that consider¬ 
able time will elapse before the work can be com¬ 
menced. No further steps, that we have heard of, 
have been taken with regard to the other railroads 
proposed in the State. 
The Indian war in the southern counties of Cal¬ 
ifornia terminated, as we predicted in our last 
Summary. It turned out to ho merely one of 
those periodical predatory incursions, of such fre¬ 
quent occurrence in those regions, and said to have 
been provoked by an illegal attempt by the Sheriff 
of San Diego to sieze Indian entile in payment of 
State taxes, as well as cruel treatment by evil- 
disposed white persons. 
There has been, of late, a marked diminution of 
crime throughout the State; and there is little 
doubt but California would, in this respect, com¬ 
pare favorably, in proportion, to its population, 
with any other State in the Union. 
Various new discoveries have taken place in the 
mining districts, to pique the enterprise of the 
gold-hunter. 
We have late dates from Oregon and the Sand¬ 
wich Islands- The British and American Naval 
officers at San Juan are exchanging compliments 
instead of cannon shots, and the Prometheus affair 
is regarded as happily got done with. 
By the Cherokee from Chagres, via. Kingston, 
Jamaica, we have later dates from the Isthmus 
and Jamaica. 
The two steamships thus arriving, at N. York, 
on the same day, bring two millions of dollars in 
gold dust! 
Convenient. —One of the conductors of the 
Southern Michigan road is a telegrapher, and al¬ 
ways carries a telegraph instrument and battery in 
the cars with him. When an accident occurs, ho 
throws a piece of wire up to the telegraph line on 
the route, sits in the cars and inquires the par¬ 
ticulars, or gives information to any depot on the 
route. 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
<£bt Harktte. 
Rural New-Yorkf.r Office, ( 
Rochester, Feb.3, 1852. ) 
There lias been very little activity in the market fet the 
week past. The weather has been less cold, with occa¬ 
sional rain and sleet, which has diminished the stock of 
snow, to some extent, though enough remains lor present 
use. 
All kinds of firm products sell readily at quoted rates, 
and not unfrequently very fine samples command more. 
We hope soon to he able to present re|iorts more in de¬ 
tail, but for the present, want of important operations ren¬ 
ders it unnecessary.

Ward of this city. 
Temperance Petitions. —An avalanche of peti¬ 
tions were presented on Friday in the Assembly, 
for the passage of a law to prohibit the sale or gift 
of intoxicating drinks. Those presented by 
Messrs. Corser, Milliner and Shoecraft, of this 
county, contained the names of 8,830 persons. 
The whole number of petitions presented contain¬ 
ed—including 1,266 ladies—the aggregatenumber 
of 112,094 signatures. They were all referred to 
the select committee on excise. Quite a number 
had been previously presented, and it is probable 
that some more may follow. It is presumed that 
the total number will reach 150,000.— Roch. Dem. 
Great Embankment. —The largest job on the 
Erie Can.al Enlargement is the great lrondcquoit 
Embankment, section 255, awarded to Geo. Law. 
An idea of the magnitude of this work may be 
realized, when it is stated that it will require the 
deposit of one yard of earth per minute, to be trans¬ 
ported from half to three-quarters of a mile, from 
this time till the first of May, 1854, to complete it. 
An outlay of more than $30,000 for teams, carts, 
Jrc., etc., will bo necessary before it can be stalled 
It was awarded to Law, at $347,495. 
The tobd mortality in Boston for the last 
year was 1,850, an increase of nearly 200 on the 
previous year. There has been no epidemic du¬ 
ring the year. Small pox, which last year carried 
off nearly 200 victims, this year has had hardly 
50. Consumption steadily increases from year to 
year. 
Beat this who can. —S. Woodward, says in the 
Wyoming Co. Mirror: I have a cow, now 8 years 
old, from winch we have made 1,296 lbs. of butter, 
within the past five years, (one of which she was 
farrow,) and have used freely of milk and cream 
in my family from the same.

Barometers and Thermometers, 
MANUFACTURE!) by 
Kendali Brotheis, New Lebanon, N. Y. 
T HE 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 h ive had extensive experience in their 
manufacture,and have given careful attention to accuracy 
of cons ruction and neatness of finish. 
Our Ttormometers -re alTeady Wo widely known to 
need notice here. We w-rrantnil w ork that goes from our 
hands We have pleasure in offering the following testi¬ 
monial from Professor Dkwky* 
University of Rochester, Dec. 26, IS5L 
In the construction of Thermometers and Barometers, 
the Kendall Brothers, of New Lebanon, have long been 
distinguished for the accuracy and exoelleme of their in¬ 
struments, Their mode of tusking tto divisions was 
original, and has ever i pen commended by tho>« \v to oil 
derstood it. I need only concur in tto opinion -of gi mfe- 
men highly qualified to judge m swell c.rses. 1 li .ve long 
to.-n acquainted with the instruments, and am confident 
that tto public may safely give lhem their patronage, and 
e.\|>ect to be satisfied with toth kindsnf tfreinstmuienis. 
I have often remarked on the importance of tamers 
posses.-Mig tto Barometers, and of understanding its indi¬ 
cations. Tto latter is not to difficult as is often supposed, 
and is made relatively easy by tto little chart of directions 
accompanying Mes.-rs Ken da IDs instruments.

a manufacturer in Cleveland,O., from Prof.Kutn, and, of 
Cleveland Medical College: 
Cleveland, Dee. 29, 1846. 
Mr. KENmvLL—Sir: I have repeatedly tested l othThc- 
mometers and Parlor Barometers of your construction, 
and k affords me pleasure to state, that ns regards accu¬ 
racy and workmanship, they far exceed any that 1 have 
ever obtained from abroad. 
Within tto last two years, I have broken three Barome¬ 
ters manufactured elsewhere, while transporting them from 
tto cit.y to mv residence, a distance of only five miles.— 
They were carried with the utmost care and precaution. 
The imp-ovctl tn^tle, which you have adopted in con¬ 
structing tto tube and reservoir, renders it i(>erfectly safe 
to transport yours to ; ny part of tto country. Oor citi¬ 
zens, both of this city and tto Western country, who may 
have occasion to u«c such instruments, will (fed it to their 
advantage to extend their p itrcnagc to you. w tio have been

FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE POWER. 
rjailE above jusily celebrated Powers as now made and 
jL sold by the subscribers, are ottered the public with the 
assurance that they are all they are represented—they hav¬ 
ing been very extensively and thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side by side, with all tto tread (towers known, of 
any note in the country, and lieen preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee 
on Horse-Powers, in a communication written several 
months after die awarding of premium to the above Horre- 
I’ower, says: “ I spent much time at the late State Fair, 
|Sept. 1856,] 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 tire beet, and if J want¬ 
ed one, I would give, TWENTY DOLLARS more for 
yours than any others on the grounds; and as 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 
Isive no sort of partiality for your establishment, and as a 
committee-man of said Society lor years, I have decided 
against you oftener than for you; and if others have a bet¬ 
ter article than you, 1 would decide in their favor, if the 
decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
w ho it may,” 
With the testimony of such men ns 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 
assured of being furnished by us with a superior machine.
