Thursday, 12th. It was read a first turd ordered 
to be read a second time on the 27th. It occupies 
six columns of the Times. 
Mr. Layard, who was a long time attached to 
the embassy at Constantinople, better known by 
his discoveries in Nincvah,litis been appointed un¬ 
der Secretary of State for Foreign affairs. 
No change in the London market for American 
Stocks. 
France. —Another ministerial crisis is said to 
exist in France. The trouble grew out of the 
question of annexing Belgium. Gen. St. Arnaud 
is said to be the only minister in favor of this 
policy. 
The Moniteurcontains the Royal Ordinance dis¬ 
solving all popular associations throughout the 
kingdom of Wirtcmburg. 
At a meeting of the Council of State, the retir¬ 
ing pensions of Gen. Cavaignac and Lamartine 
were fixed at fi.OOOf. 
Louis Napoleon seems cautious to give the full¬ 
est assurance that an invasion of England is about 
the last thing he thinks of. 
Switzerland. —The Swiss journals state that 
the Government of the Republic is ill great alarm 
on account of the new note received from the 
French Government 
The latter not only insists on the expulsion of 
all French refugees who are suspected of plotting 
against the Government of their country, to which 
the Swiss Government at once consented, but it 
insists on the Swiss Government closing all 
“ Unions,” and the employment of rigorous meas¬ 
ures against the popular manifestations, designed 
to force the Government to have new elections. 
The new French Minister of foreign affairs has 
intimated to the Swiss Minister in Paris, that the 
French Preside: t ;annot avoid, should his counsel 
not be followed, of coming to an arrangement with 
Austria and Prussia, with a yiew to their coming 
to an understanding with respect to the adoption 
of coercive measures for the purpose of keeping 
down the democratic spirit in Switzerland. 
Austria.— An attempt is making to prevent 
Jews residing there to acquire real estate. At the 
public sale of an estate the Hebrews present were 
informed that no notice could be taken of their bids. 
This caused considerable excitement. 
Germany. —It was rumored that some of the 
regiments of the Belgian army had manifested a 
feeling unfavorable to their own government and 
much m favor of France. 
There is reason to believe that something, not of 
an ordinary nature, is going on with respect to the 
relation of France with Germany and the conti¬ 
nental powers generally.

FLOUR.—The market is moire firm, Pu-e Genesee be¬

GRAIN.—The snie of wheat corresponds with the bet¬ 
ter rates of flour. But limited quantities are offer,ng.— 
Good Genesee commands a dollar. Corn unchanged. 
Oats are better, commanding 33®35c for choice lots — 
Nothing is heard of Barley. 
SEEDS.—'There is some enquiry for Clover, and some 
offering. No one appears willing to purchase large lots, 
utt ess at a low figure. We hear of a sa c of 358 bushe s 
at Buffalo, at #4,75 delivered at Niagara Falls. More

mands 8 cents for chickens and If) for turk es. 
Ill other tilings there is no change to note, and nothing

ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUS. 
Two Weeks later. 
The Prometheus arrived at New York on the 
23th ult., with dates to Feb. 2d. She brings 534 
passengers and $32,030 in gold on freight, and 
$4,)0,0J0 in the hands of passengers. 
The O csent City arrive 1 a few hours after. 
Sir: brings 150 passengers, the Pacific mails, and 
$1,330,000 in gold dust. 
The most important news is the election of 
John lb Weller, Democrat, to the United Suites 
Senate, on the 8th ballot—he having 71 majority. 
Two days were spent in tho election. 
His opi xments were Broderick, McLane, Smith, 
Rolsfon and Anderson, all of whom declined af¬ 
ter-the 3d ballot. 
The news from the mines is favorable, though 
the scarcity of water is severely felt. 
A miner’s and settler’s convention was held in 
Sacramento before the election of Senators, and 
after a session of several days, a scries of resolu¬ 
tions were passed, embodying the views of the 
convention. One of them is: 
1 here shall he a difference in the privileges ex¬ 
tended to miners who are citizens of foreign coun¬ 
tries, and those who are citizens of California. 
Owing to the defect in machinery, quartz min¬ 
ing Inus not proved so advantageous as was expect¬ 
ed. Several companies have ceased operations. 
Agriculture is attracting much attention. 
1 lie trading and mercantile portion of the coun¬ 
try have been considerably affected from the want 
of Witter in the mines. 
Gov. Bigler has issued a special message rela¬ 
tive to the finances of tho Suite, and urges upon 
th - Legislature to adopt some measures to relieve 
the Shite of her liabilities, which are $2,242,339. 
Five and ten dollar gold pieces have been issued 
by Messrs. Wass, Molliter it Go. The latter bear- 
ing the stamp S. AL V. Standard Mint Value. 
Messrs. Moffat <t Co, have made similar issues. 
Notice has been given in the Senate of a bill 
for a railroad from Sacramento to Auburn. 
In tho market not much had been done. The 
speculative feeling had almost subsided. 
Oregon.— Oregon papers to tho 2fith of January, 
have been received. 
The mail carrier from the Dallas reports that 
news had reached that place from the Great Salt 
Lake ot a revolution. It is said the Mormons are 
arming and fortifying themselves, and laid pub¬ 
lished a Declaration of Independence, in which 
they asserted their full determination to set up a 
Republic for themselves. 
The U. S. Territorial officers have till left and 
the people are preparing to resist all authority and 
are fortifying their settlements. 
Th (i affairs of Oregon still continue to excite 
considerable interest on the part of the newspapers. 
a Great IIok.se Feat.— At Chicopee Falls, last 
Friday, Jeduthan Gleason’s horse, attached to a 
sleigh, took fright, and freeing himself from his 
attachments, broke the railing between the side¬ 
walk and the river, and leaped headlong, a dis¬ 
tance of 20 feet, into the river. After recovering 
from the shock, he set off down stream, for the 
dam, which -lie went over, as well us the falls be¬ 
low. He kept on down the rivet, and seeing some 
persons on the opposite side of the stream, crossed 
over to them, and saluted them with a call for 
help, which was complied with, and the horse, as 
sound as ever, was ready to be escorted to his 
lodgings .—Sprinafield Republican .

Thanksgiving.— The King of the Sandwich 
Islands, it appeals, has adopted the good old New 
England custom, now so universally observed all 
over the United States, of observing one dav in 
the year an thanksgiving day. The 18th of De- 
c -mber last, was set apart for this purpose, by 
Barometers and Thermometers, 
D AVID KENDALL, (recently of the lirnt of “ Kendal 
Brothers.” New Lebanon, N. Y .) would tender his 
acknowledsetients to the citizens of Rochester at.d vicini¬ 
ty. for the ” material” p uron.ige they have given him.— 
From the earnest solicitations of scientific men and others, 
I have I ee > induced to change my place of business from 
Piltslord to Ill's city, and have associated with mo George 
Tayi.or, under the lirnt of K ENIMLL & TAYLOR. 
Our manufactory is in the unper room of the Novelty 
Building, whete we shall he happy to ee ad who want 
good instruments. 'I lie character of Kendall's Ther¬ 
mometer is too well know n to require extended notice here. 
We have lacilit es for manufacturing as good instruments 
as can he made in this country. For accuracy of con¬ 
struction, neatness of finish, and reasonableness of prices, 
we defy competition. All our work is warranted. 
Our facilities fur sending instruments in all directions 
are unrivalled—one great consideration in our selection ol 
locality, as great care is necessary in their transportation. 
I). Kendall was awarded a Diploma on specimens ol 
Barometers and Thermometers exhibited at the late State 
Fair. 
O’All orders addressed to KENDALL &. TAYLOR 
win receive prompt attention. 
Rochester, Jan. 27,1852. [li:9tf.] 
University op Rocikster, f 
February 21, 1852. ( 
I have examined a Par or Barometer with a zero adjust¬ 
ment, manufactured by Messrs. Kendall &. Taylor of this 
city, and have thoroughly tested it by the Smithsonian Ba¬ 
rometer, used in the University, in its graduation and oth¬ 
er particu ars. It appears to equal that instrument for the 
nicest 'iterations, the scale being easily read off to thou¬ 
sandths of an inch, and the graduation at least eqiia’ly uc- 
ettrate. I can have no hesitation in recommending Messrs 
Kendal Sc Taylor’s Barometers most fully to the public. 
The zero ndjusuuent makes the Instrument entirely su- 
lierior to the common wood cistern, or the vent-ube Ba¬ 
rometer. 
1 a so found the Thermometer, attached to their Barom¬ 
eter and another of theirs, lioiti made with their ttsua 
care, to agree with that attached to the Smithsonian Ba¬ 
rometer. They have the method of graduating iliciv sea e 
with great accuracy to any variation in the diameter ol 
the Thermometer tube. 
I a so ex •iiiincd the machine hy which Mr. Kendall per¬ 
forms the gr iduutinu tor the firm.—a machine invented hy 
Mr Ken all’s father, and so highly commended hy Prof. 
Sil iman long s nee in the American Journal of Science— 
a inacHce constructed on mathematical principles, nt irk¬ 
ing divisions with extreme accuracy, and capab c of divi¬ 
ding to liundreths of an inch without a magnifier.

LAST CALL! 
Potatoes.—White Itlercer. 
1 OO BARRELS of Hie White Mercer (Seedling) Po- 
4 V/v/ tato now oflered for sale! This remarkable white 
potato is of almost unparalleled productiveness; of beau¬ 
tiful shape, its proportion much like the long pink-eye, 
being a little more flattened. 
Tins potato was obtained hy the subscriber, from the 
seed ol the common Mercer 8 or 9 years since. It receiv¬ 
ed (he first premium from the N. Y. State Ag. Society,anil 
a diploma was awarded for the same by the MonroeUoitn- 
ty Ag. Society. 
Since that period the White Mercer has attained in Iron- 
dequoit, increased popularity with farmers and gardeners, 
to so great an extent, that its only limits of propagation is 
the want of seed. I am credibly informed that oneot the 
largest Hotels in the city of New York, on the reception ol 
n few bushels from a friend, ordered 1,000 bushels, but 
they could not be obtained. 
The quality and habits of the White Mercer, ate, very 
white outside attd in; mealy and of good flavor; longer 
keeping than any other potato that I am acquainted with. 
It is a late groweroequiriugearly planting; and is less sub¬ 
ject to rot than any other potato known itt these parts. 
ty Price, #1,00 per bushel, delivered in the city. If 
shipped to any part of the State, #3,09 per barrel will he 
required, transportation included. Orders will lie receiv¬ 
ed through the Rochester Post-office till the stock of pota¬ 
toes are exhausted, after which nolice will be given, and 
all moneys returned promptly if the potatoes are not for- 
warded. H. N. LANGWOR THY .
