on tlie 16th instant. 
Liverp >ol cotton market unchanged. Sales in 
three days fl, 10 i) bales. 
The grain market had been well attended, with j 
very free imports. Dealers were looking for ade- | 
cline, but holders generally showed much firm- , 
ness, and the decline has n a exceeded ld.@2d. pr j

England.— In the English Parliament the ques- i 
tiou of admitting the Jews had taken a more fa- j 
vorable turn for the Hebrew race. Lord Derby \ 
had offered no opposition. 
The subject of international postage had been 
agitated, and ihe co-operation of the American 
Minister invited. 
Franck.— The refusals to take the oath to 
the President had proved unexpectedly numerous. 
The French army has not been withdrawn from 
Rome, nor will its numbers there be diminished. 
The Orleans confiscation raised a conflict in 
legal form, between the Government and the heirs. 
It is announced from Calsruhe, that the heridi- 
tary Duke of Baden lias renounced the succession 
in favor of his younger brother. 
A famine is prevailing in Germany in conse¬ 
quence of the failure of the potato crop of last 
year.

ARRIVAL OF THE ILLINOIS. 
Two Weeks Later. 
The steamer Illinois, with 320 passengers, and 
$1,230,000 in gold dust in freight, and $250,000 
m the hands of passengers, arrived at New York 
on the 17th inst., bringing San Francisco dates to 
April 18th, also the mails. 
The mining news continues highly favorable, 
and the markets steady. Flour, however, was 
dull, and could not be quoted in large quantities 
at over $9 per bag. 
The weather on the 17th was very hot. 
Shipments of gold per the Northerner on the 
19th for Panama, $1,526.000—making a total for 
the mouth of $3,417,8*17. 
Both Houses of the Legislature passed resolu¬ 
tions directing the State officers to remove with 
their records back to Vallejo, thus recognizing 
that place as the Capital 
The fugitive slave bill has passed the Senate, 
14 to 9. The Coolie bill was killed in the Senate, 
16 to 2. The flour inspection bill, lost and after¬ 
wards revived was referred to a select committee. 
Several important measures are to be acted upon. 
The California section of the M. E. Church, 
South, was holding a session at San Francisco. 
Legal proceedings were about being commen¬ 
ced by some of the passengers by the North 
America, to test the liability of the company for 
damages. 
The Oregon papers are filled with the most 
violent and acrimonious disputes, arising from out 
of the recent sessions of the two contesting Leg¬ 
islatures. 
The overland emigration this summer promises 
to be very large. 
Accounts from Queen Charlotte’s Island repre¬ 
sent gold there in abundance. 
Business dull at the Sandwich Islands. 
The Panama railroad is opened eight miles be¬ 
low Gorgona. 
News Clippings- 
Jpjf” For the ten appointments of Cadets at 
large to the West Point Military Academy, in the 
gift of the President, there are fifteen hundred ap¬ 
plicants, or about one hundred and fifty candi 
dates for each place. 
HW” d’he State Treasurer of Pennsylvania has 
officially reported to the Legislature a list of three 
hundred and fifty public defaulters, who have in 
the aggregate robbed that heavily indebted and 
well taxed State, of over three millions of dollars! 
The Newport, Ivy., News, wants to bet 
$50 on a little girl in that city, aged 11 years, for 
setting type against any other of equal age and 
experience. It says she can set 12,000 emsa day, 
and out-waltz the dancing master at night. 
jpjgp The number of electors of President and 
Vice President to be chosen this year, to vote on 
the next presidential election is 295, the vote of 
148 of them will constitute a choice. New York 
will have 35 votes instead of 36, as previous to 
the census of 1850. 
It is remarked as somewhat singular, that 
notwithstanding the favorable news from the Aus¬ 
tralian Gold fields, the demand for passages by the 
ships now up for that colony, is quite limited, form¬ 
ing quite a contrast with the rush from the Atlan¬ 
tic cities to California. 
X/zf Mr. Maillefert seems to he a very success¬ 
ful engineer— for barely $10,000, Pot rock near 
New York, formerly only eight feet under water, 
at low tide, has been removed to a depth of twen¬ 
ty and a half feet. At that depth the area of 
the surface of this formidable rock was found to be 
moie than 7,000 square feet. 
JvW” I’here is a difference among writers as to 
the number of inhabitants of the globe; some 
estimate the number at 700,000,000 Avhile others 
go as high as 900,000,000. The annual loss by 
death is computed to be 18,000,000, or 1,500,000 
a month, 346,154 a week, 4,942 a day, 206 an 
hour, or more than three persons every minute. 
{Hip" The transactions of the Sub-Treasury Of¬ 
fice during the administration of the late Gov. 
Young, were to the extent of $88,000,000 receipts, 
and $85,000,000 payments. The entire business 
of the office since its establishment under the 
Sub-Treasury law in 1845, is $328,515,000 re¬ 
ceipts and payments. 
Jpgf The work on the Canandaigua and Niaga¬ 
ra Falls Road is being pushed with great energy. 
Gangs of men are at work on the entire line from 
Canandaigua to Batavia, and it is anticipated that 
the cars will be run over that portion of the road 
in December next. The iron for the road is ex¬ 
pected daily,and will be on the ground before the 
track is ready. 
Vegetation in the vicinity of Dansville is 
a week in advance of this part of the Valley.— 
The high hills have kept off the cold winds, and a 
genial shower ten days ago, gave an impulse that 
came some later here. With us the last few days 
have worked wonders. Vegetation has come for¬ 
ward with great rapidity and everything looks 
fair fora summer of plenteous harvests and rich in 
fruits aud flowers.— lioch, American. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, May 19, 1852. ) 
The past week has not been very favorable for out-door 
operations. The weather has been various,—the week 
passing with a succession of sunny, rainy, damp and windy 
days. Copious rain on Friday and Saturday gave vegeta¬ 
tion an unusual start,—but the cool weather of Sunday, 
Monday, and Tuesday morning, was unfavorable. On 
Monday, P. M., and evening, and Tuesday morning, over¬ 
coats, &c., were in demand at a premium. 
Flour. —There is no material change in the market,— 
prices still ranging from $4,62% to ©4,75. Tiie mills 
continue grinding all the wheat they can obtain, but the 
supply is insufficient. 
Grain. —During the week Wheat has been in demand 
at © 1 for best samples of Genesee,—aud that is the uni¬ 
form figure. A lot of white Michigan lias been sold on 
private terms. 
Pr visions. —The market is still firm at previous quota¬ 
tions, with a limited supply of most articles. 
There are no changes worthy of particular note in any 
department.

THE NEW YORK REAPER. 
M il. Me. COKMICK in an advertisement recently pub¬ 
lished says, “ that while Seymour & Morgan are go¬ 
ing on to manufacture more reapers, they have made no 
provision to pay the judgment against them for ©17,306, 
and another suit for infringement in the manufacture of 
five hundred reapers since the commencement of the first, 
is about to be brought against them, and that if they fail 
to pay the damages, the purchasers are not only liable, 
hut may at any time, and will bo sued for the same.” 
I 11 answer to this, we say, that Mr. Me Cormick lias no 
judgment against us for ©17,306, or for any Other sum.— 
He obtained a verdict against us for upwards of ©17,000, 
on account of the machines which we manufactured and 
sold in 1850; hut proceedings were immediately token on 
our part to present the case to the U. S. Supreme Court, 
before which tribunal we hope to obtain a new trial, and 
in that case feel very confident that we can now make a 
successful defence. If we should ho disappointed in this, 
we expect to pay the verdict, unjust as we know it. to he. 
With regard to the machines we are now building, Mr. 
Me Cormick very well knows, that they contain not a sin¬ 
gle feature, which is embraced in any unexpired patent of 
his, and that we have as much right to buikl and sell them 
without reference to him, as farmers have to plow their 
lands without asking his permission. It will be observed 
that lie does not pretend, in his advertisement, that tiif. 
machines we are now ocnstructing, are any infringement 
of his patents. 
The 500 machines which we sold last year were no in¬ 
fringement of his rights, and if he should see fit to carry 
his threat of prosecuting us into execution, it will be for 
the purpose of frightening, and deterring farmers from 
purchasing machines of us this year, and not with the ex¬ 
pectation of obtaining a verdict against us. His object is 
to drive us out of the business of making Reapers, that he 
may have the entire field to himself. This, if truth and 
justice are allowed to prevail, he cannot do. 
Those wishing the New York Reaper for the ensuing 
harvest, will do well to give us their orders early, as we 
have heretofore been tumble to supply the demand.

i out iu extenso ; others have 
written on the horse, or about 
I the horse, and we have abun¬ 
dance of treatises, offering us 
light in regard to his diseases; 
but Youatt’s work is the foun¬ 
dation of all that has been pro¬

ue, and it will probably he a 
long while before any author 
will come forward to take his 
place as authority in regard to 
the domestic animals of which 
he lias written.—[Prairie Far. 
Any one at all. conversant 
with that noble animal, tlie 
horse, is well aware of the mer¬ 
its of Youatt’s admirable work 
on this subject. Mr. Spooner, 
a veterinary surgeon of high 
standing, wrote a valuable supplement for the late English 
edition, bringing the science down to 1849. This, Mr. 
Randall, with excellent judgment, has incorporated into 
the body of the volume before us, in foot notes, under the 
different appropriate heads of the work. We think this 
quite an improvement on the English edition. Mr. Ran¬ 
dall's part of the work is well done ; and as the publishers 
have brought it out in handsome style, we trust tlie hook 
will liave a largo sale.—[American Agriculturist.

BAROMETERS and THERMOMETERS. 
D AVID KENDALL, (recently of the firm of “ Kendall 
Brothers,” New Lebanon, N. Y.,) would tender his 
acknowledgenents to (lie citizens of Rochester ai d vicini¬ 
ty. for tho “material” patronage they have given him.— 
From the earnesi solicitations of scientific men and others, 
I have been induced to change my place of business from 
Pitlsford to this city, and have associated wilh me George 
Taylor, under the linn of K ENDALL & TAYLOR. 
Our manufactory is in the upper room of the Novelty 
Building, where we shall be happy to see all who want 
good instruments. The character of Kendall’s Ther¬ 
mometer is too well known to require extended notice here. 
We have facilit es for manufacturing as good instruments 
as can lie 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 for sending instruments in all directions 
are unrivalled—one great consideration in our selection ot 
locality, as great care is necessary in their transportation. 
D. Kendall was awarded a Diploma on specimens ol 
Barometers and Thermometers exhibited at the late State 
Fair.

I haveexaruined a Parlor Barometer with a zero adjust 
meat, 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 particulars, it apitears to equal that instrument for the 
nicest iperation^, the scale being easily read off to thou¬ 
sandths of an inch, and the graduation at least equa'ly ac¬ 
curate. I can have no hesitation in recommending Messrs. 
Kendall & Taylor’s Barometers most fully to the public. 
The zero adjustment makes the Instrument entirely su¬ 
perior to the common wood cistern, or the bent-tube Ba¬ 
rometer. 
1 also found the Thermometer, attached to their Barom¬ 
eter and another of theirs, both made with their usual 
care, to agree with that attached to the Smithsonian Ba . 
romeler. They liave the method of graduating their sea e 
with great accuracy to any variation in the diameter of 
the Thermometer tube. 
1 also examined the machine by which Mr. Kendall per¬ 
forms the graduation for the firm.—a machine invented by 
Mr. Kern all’s father, and so highly commended by PjoI.
