ARRIVAL OF THE EL DORADO. 
Two Weeks Later. 
The Steamer lil Dorado arrived at New York 
April 12, with two weeks later news from Cali¬ 
fornia. The i'll Doiado brings $SO(),OUO, and 214 
passengers. The mails will probably come in the 
Georgia. 
1'assonger trains new run on the Panama rail¬ 
road regularly as far as Buena Vista, to which 
point it was opened on the 5lh inst., and Col. 
Geo. M. Totten, Chief Engineer expects to have 
the road open to Hula on the 18th, leaving only 
12 miles ol river navigation. 
The regular trains leave Aspinwall at (> A. M., 
daily. 'Elio mail trains are run on the arrival of 
the mail steamers. Passengers leaving Aspinwall 
in the morning arrive at Gorgona the same day.— 
Pare on the cars $5. To Gorgona $1,50 to $3 in 
boats. By the old river route from three to four 
days wore consumed, at an expense of from $11) 
to $15. The road is in excellent order, cars equal 
in comfort to any on our northern roads. 
The lil Dorado was the first ship to discharge 
her passengers and cargo directly from the ship 
to the wharf. She laid at the wharf while there 
and received her treasure and passengers in the 
same way, with as much ease and security as 
could he done at the wharf in New York, thus 
avoiding the danger and inconvenience of the 
landing in small boats. 
All the mail steamers now land at Aspinwall, 
a id Chagrcs is being deserted. 
The California papers state that the ;igent of 
the North America, and Pacific was making en¬ 
deavors to obtain a sailing vessel to go to their 
relief, as no steamer could be procured for that 
purpose. VVe learn from passengers that much 
distress prevails among the North America’s pas¬ 
sengers at Acapulco. 
Flood at Sacramento. 
Saoiiamknto, March 7.—Last night was a crit¬ 
ical time for Sacramento. The days of January, 
1850, seemed about lo revisit us. The waters 
swelled in their might, and for a time threatened 
to inundate the city, but the people have by vigi¬ 
lance and perseverance, thus far been able to keep 
the river at bay. Hope is entertained that the 
city will finally escape, but a flood appears to be 
inevitable. Borne three days since the Sacramen¬ 
to felt the effects of the rains which fell among 
the mountains a few days previous. Meanwhile 
the river rose to a higher point than in 1850.— 
By 12 o’clock last night it was level with the 
original banks in front of the city. The rise of 
the upper Sacramento had not then come down. 
Yuba City escaped all danger from the flood, 
though the place was some two or three feet 
above the highest stage of water. 
Ban Francisco, March 15.—Since our last the 
markets have been steadily improving. The re¬ 
cent heavy rains and overflow have had the effect 
of causing almost an entire suspension of thejob- 
btng trade, and neutralised for a time the specula¬ 
tive feeling exhibited.

the usury laws, and enqcted a law exempting home¬

EW" California is equal in size to eighteen or 
nineteen such States as Maryland, and four or five 
such as .Pennsylvania; but its whole population is 
only equal to one-half of Philadelphia. 
The unusual coldness of the weather in 
London has produced a large increase in the num¬

I he Russian gold mines yield annually 
about $.>7,000,000. Most of the mines are work¬ 
ed on private account, but the government tax up¬ 
on the product of the whole. A large part of the 
tax, however, is consumed in maintaining the po¬ 
lice of the gold region. 
Mr. Dorn, the owner of a gold mine in 
Abbeville, District, S. 0., informs the Editor of 
The Banner that in two weeks he has realized the 
sum of $10,000 and upward, from his operations 
with eight hands. The work of two days alone 
yielded him something over $3,000.

Rochester, April 14, 1852. ) 
That universal topic of remark, “the weather,” has 
thus far felt very little of the genial influence of Spring.— 
No o'd bachelor was ever more cold, forbidding, and sour 
than has been, and now is our April weather. There is 
hope Dial our streets may be free of ice ere long, for we 
notice the werkmen removing the deposites of last winter 
still from one to two feel thick in shaded localities. 
11 ti si ness keeps pace With the season, and improves as 
tardily as do the roads. 
GRAIN—There has been some wheat coining in by 
R. R. We hear of a sale of (1,00(1 bushels at 90(097 ets., 
also of 1,51)0 bushels at 94. Why al so low a figure, we 
did not learn. In other grain no sales of large parcels, 
and little change in prices. 
FLOUR—The feeling is less favorable, and holders are 
not so firm. 
PROVISIONS—The provision market is very firm and 
general high prices prevail. Beef catlle Mj^at #5,50(00. 
I’ork, 707,50 and very little to be had at that. Mutton car¬ 
casses, 5(00,00. Veal, 5(05,50. Cut meats are very high. 
Farmers have been sadly neglecting us, or are all short 
themselves. Butter still sells at 22(025. Eggs, I2.J. Poul¬ 
try is a rare occurrence, and much of the general living is 
the plain prose of pork and potatoes. 
SEEDS—Thers is some trade in Cloverjind Timothy, 
witli very little if any change in the rales. 
HOPS—We have not noticed any large sale during the 
week, and no alteration in the quotation. 
VEGETABLES.—Potatoes are in good supply at our 
quotation. Garden sauce is abundant and cheap. Apples 
arc less plenty witli a slight improvement. 
WOOL—No sale in this market has come under our ob¬ 
servation. In Eastern markets, good prices are paid. 
FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES—We notice 
considerable animation in this Iradc. Our city and vicin¬ 
ity stands unrivalled In this respect. There is an increas¬ 
ing demand for choice fruit, and trees of that character 
can lie obtained here. Orders should bo sent in early to 
insure choice stock.

a concern, and went at from #9 to $27 per head. The 
sales were conducted by Mr. 8 . O. Knights. A lot of the 
Beeves, brought to market by Mr Philbrick, of New 
Hampshire, were worthy of especial notice for f heir beau¬ 
ty and fatness. The cattle trains with the exception ol 
the Rutland and Burlington, were all in in time for the 
market.

I Single Horse Powers, Geared lor Churning. They 
have been extensively used the past season in large dairies 
in the counties ol Chenango, Cortland, Tompkins and 
< liemung, and with the most satisfactory results. 'I he 
Churn Gearing was designed hy Mr. James Giles, Esq., t>( 
Etna, Tompkins Co., and who has one in operation in his 
extensive Dairy. This Power is found lo it* peculiarly 
adapted to Churning, the propelling force being produced 
by the weight of the horse to an nmoiinl sufficient to drive 
4 or 5 barrel churns, The motion is varied by altering the 
elevation Of the power so as to produce nil the changes in 
speed required in the different stages of the process of 
churning; this, is done hy means of a lever and without 
stopping the horse, so that the motion is always under the 
control of Ihe person in charge.

assurance that they arc all they are represented—they hav¬ 
ing been very extensively and thoroughly introduced and 
tested, side hy aide, witli all the tread powers known, of 
any note in tite country, and been preferred. 
The Chairman of the Agricultural Society’s Committee 
on Horse-Powers, in a communication written several 
monthsafter the awarding of premium to the above Horse- 
Power, says: “ 1 spent much time at the late State Fair, 
|S«pt. 1850,] at Albany, in examining the various Horse- 
Powers, viz. Wheeler’s, Allen’s, Ham’s, and Emery & 
Co’s, lirsl 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 i want¬ 
ed one, I would give, TWENTY DOLLARS more for 
yours than any others on tlie grounds; and ns you have 
won tin- laurels fairly, it is just that you should receive a 
full reward.” 
He further says—“You know from experience that l 
have no sort of partiality for your establishment, and as a 
committee-man of said Society for years, I have decided 
against you oftener than for you; and if others have a (let¬ 
ter article titan you, 1 would decide in their favor, if the 
decision ruined your establishment, and vice versa, hurt 
who it may.” 
With the testimony of such men ns tlie author of tlie 
foregoing, when, together with the changeable gearing, and 
oilier important improvements adopted since last season, 
make it the most convenient, duralde, efficient, and eco¬ 
nomical Horse-Power now made; and the public may rest 
assured of being furnished by us with a superior machine.

rpilE convenience and necessity of the Barometer for 
1 many purposes of practical life, is every year becom¬ 
ing more apparent. VVe take this method of informing 
the public that we Ii ive had extensive experience in their 
manufacture, and have given careful attention to accuracy 
Of eons ruction and neatness of finish. 
Our Thermometers ,.re already too widely known to 
need notice here. We wr.rrantail work that goes from our 
hands. We have pleasure in oflering the following testi¬ 
monial from I’rofesKor Dkwky: 
Univkiisity u r Rochrstkr, Dec. 26, 1851. 
In the construction of Thermometers and Barometers, 
the Kendall Brothers, of New Itebanon, have long been 
distinguished for the accuracy and excellence of their in- 
siruments. Their mode of making tite divisions was 
original, and has ever been commended by those who un¬ 
derstood it. I need only concur in tlie opinion of gi title ■ 
men highly qualified to judge m such cases. I have long 
been acquainted with tbe instruments, and atn confident 
that the public may safely give them their patronage, and 
expect to lie satisfied witli both kinds of the instruments. 
1 have often remarked on the importance of farmers 
possessing the Barometers, and of understanding its indi¬ 
cations. The latter is not so difficult as is often supposed, 
and is made relatively easy hy the little chartof directions 
accompanying Messrs. Kendall's instruments.

Cleveland, Dec. 2S>, 1846. 
Mr. Kendall— Sir: I have reiieatedly tested both The- 
niometers and Parlor Barometers of your eon-trucliou, 
and it nlibrds me pleasure to state, that n« regards accu¬ 
racy and workmanship, they far exceed auy that I have 
ever obtained from abroad. 
Within the lasttwo years, I have broken three Barome¬ 
ters manufactured elsewhere, while transporting them from 
tlie city to my 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 tlie tube and reservoir, renders it perfectly sale 
to transport yours to any part of the country. Our citi¬ 
zens, both of lliiscity amt the Western country, who m <y 
have occasion to use such instruments, wilt find it to their 
advantage to extend tlieir 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. KIRTI.AND
