foreign Sntriligmre. 
ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC. 
The steamship Arctic arrived in New York at 
half past 2 on the 11th. She left Liverpool on 
the 30th at noon, and brings 123 passengers aud 
a fair amount of freight. 
The Cotton market was somewhat irregular, 
and previous prices were only obtained for small 
parcels. Sales in three days 18,000 bales, of 
which 7,000 are taken on speculation and export. 
Flour and wheat a shade better. The business 
however, was quite moderate. The former had 
advanced 2J per bbl., and the latter Id per 70 lbs. 
Yellow Indian Corn was scarce, and Gd per qr., 
dearer. White wheat dull at previous prices. At 
Manchester, a fair amount of business was doing 
in yarns at a fair price. Domestic goods dull and 
prices drooping. 
Consols quoted at 100L>@%, extra divided. 
Among the Arctic’s passengers is Thurlow 
Weed, Esq., of the Albauy Journal. 
England. —In Parliament nothing of general 
interest was doing. 
Accounts from Australia to 31st March bring 
three weeks later news. 
The gold fields continue to yield abundantly, 
and prices had declined to two pounds eighteen 
shillings per ounce. 
Provisions aud other necessaries of life were 
becoming dearer. Flour had advanced to £22 
per ton for first quality. Shipments of gold were 
being made to Adelaide from Sidney and Mel¬ 
bourne for the purpose of passing through the 
assay office there. 
France. —The difficulty between Louis Napo¬ 
leon and the Legislative Corps, has assumed a 
threatening appearance. The members of the 
Legislature, alter discussion, refused to sanction 
the amendments made to the Budget, by the 
Counsel of State, and the consequence was that 
the funds met with a decline. 
The refactory Generals, Changarnier, Lamor- 
ciere, Ac., are cashiered, though they are allowed 
to draw half pay. 
From India we learn a large number of the 
bloodthirsty 'Thugs have been captured, and 150 
confessed to have participated in human butch¬ 
eries. 
Mail Gleanings. 
At a meeting of the managers of the Am¬ 
erican Bible Society, held in New York last week, 
eight new Auxiliaries were recognized, six being 
in Illinois, <me in Tennessee, aud one in Wiscon¬ 
sin. Several grants of Bibles and Testaments 
were made. There were 82,250 volumes issued 
during the month, being a greater number than 
was ever issued in any one year up to 1828. 
EW” A St. Louis paper of the 28th says : “ We 
learn from several ptrts of this and the adjoining 
counties that the wheat crop is maturing finely, 
and that the work of harvesting will fully com¬ 
mence by the latter end of the ensuing week.— 
i’he crop promises well, and the middle of July 
new wheat will be in market. 
Eleven hundred barrels of potatoes and 
three hundred barrels of cucumbers were shipped 
from Norfolk to New York, in the steamship Ro¬ 
anoke, one day last week. It is estimated by 
the Herald that half a million of dollars worth of 
vegetables and fruits will be shipped from Nor¬ 
folk this season. 
By letters from (he Turkish Ambassador, 
it appears that arrangements are making for send¬ 
ing a Turkish steam frigate to New York, with 
the various productions and fabrics of Turkey, 
for the exhibition at the new Crystal Palace. 
The St. Paul (Minnesota) Pioneer of July 
1, in speaking of the weather, says—“ There has 
not been a time when we have experienced any¬ 
thing like such a drouth as now. The ground is 
perfectly dry and cracked.” 
The Hudson River has been closed this 
year 102 days, or 12 days more than the average 
of the last 67 years. The longest time of sus¬ 
pension of navigation was 136 days in 1842-3; 
the shortest was 42 days, in 1805-6. 
During the past month 53,206 immigrants 
arrived at the port of New York of whom 29,123 
were from Great Britain and Ireland, 21,299 from 
Germany, and the remainder from different Eu- 
pean ports; 
On Wednesday, last week, Mrs. H. B. 
Stowe received from her publishers, Messrs. Jew¬ 
ett A Go., the sum of ten thousand three hundred 
dollars, as her copyright premium on three months 
sales of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. 
The great organ foi St. Patrick’s cathedral, 
New York, built at a cost of $7,000, has forty- 
two stops, three sets of keys, two octaves of ped¬ 
als, and over 2,000 pipes ; is 45 feet high, 28 feet 
wide, aud 14 feet deep. 
£3?“ Ike true distance betw'een New York and 
San Francisco is as follows : From New York to 
Chagres, 2,200 miles ; from Chagres to Panama, 
84 ; from Panama to San Francisco, 2,700. Total 
4,984 miles. 
ETT here was a full moon on the 1st of July, 
and there will be another on the 31st—a circum¬ 
stance that has not occurred since 1776, when 
there was a full moon on the 1st and on the 30th. 
Normal School. —The closing exercises of the 
16th Term of the State Normal School, took place 
at the Institution on Thursday afternoon last.— 
The Poem was read by Miss Jane A. McEwan, of 
Little Falls, and the Valedictory by L. II. Che¬ 
ney, of Syracuse. Rev. Dr. Kip delivered an ad¬ 
dress tot lie pupils, in the absence of the Secreta¬ 
ry of State, Mr. Randall ; and the retiring Prin¬ 
cipal, Prof. Perk ns, also addressed the School.— 
There were 18 female and 19 male graduates.— 
Samuel B. Wool worth, the Principal for several 
years of the Cortland Academy, succeeds Prof. 
Perkins as the Principal of the State Normal 
School. 
To Farmers. — Hillock’s new Agricultural 
Warehouse at No. 50 State st-., is aitother evi¬ 
dence of the amount of business done in improv¬ 
ed and labor saving machines in this city. The 
proprietor lias had much experience with the cele¬ 
brated house of Emery A Co., in Albany and 
comes here with a thorough knowledge of his 
business and a familiarity with all the latest im¬ 
provements in the implements of tillage. We 
invite the special attention of farmers to his 
horse powers and threshing machines. Mr. Hal- 
lock is selling also a new plow—one not hereto¬ 
fore offered in this market, and which, it is claim¬ 
ed, is .ahead of anything in the market. Those 
who sweat under a July sun, in the hay and har¬ 
vest field, had better examine his telegraph scythes 
and cradles before they swing their old imple¬ 
ments among the stout grass or straw of thecom- 
ing crop. We commend Hallock’s State st., es¬ 
tablishment to farmers.— Jtoch. American. 
<&fte Markets. 
Rural New-Yorkf.r Office, ) 
Rochester, July 14, 1852. ) 
The market for the present month is bare of transac¬ 
tions, farmers being too much occupied with hoeing, hay- 
g and harvesting, to bring any thing to town. 
Wheat—Only scattering parcels of Genesee are offered 
which sell readily at §1,01@1,02. Sales of 2,500 bu. white 
Mich, at 93. 
Provisions—No material change in the provision mar¬ 
ket, and none are needed to benefit consumers, unless they 
submit to a decline. 
Wool—The market for wool is very quiet, but from all 
we can learn, continues improving slowly with firmness on 
the part of both purchaser and seller, but as the wool 
growers have the stock in hand with a disposition to hold 
on, there is little chance of their being losers. 
There are no transactions in other articles deserving of 
notice.

MARRIED. 
At Green Bay, Wisconsin, on the 29th of June, by Rev. 
J. Porter, 1). W. BALLOU, Jr., Editor of the Lockoort 
Democrat, and Miss MARIAN D. MOTT,adopted daugh¬ 
ter of J. Ingalls, Esq., of Green Bay. 
DIED. 
In this city, on the lltli inst., by drowning, CLEMEN¬ 
TINE, wife of Charles W. Brggs, aged 24 years. 
cows, heifers, and heifer and hull calves—comprising up¬ 
wards of fifty full-bred Short-Horns. 
Also, eight thorough-bred Herefords—a two year old 
hull, a yearling bull, three cows, and three calves. One of 
the Hereford cows (“Rarity”) was imported from Eng¬ 
land by Messrs. Corning & Sotham, in 1811. The others, 
excepting the two years old bull, are her desccndents, by 
bulls of the same stock. 
Also, two or three Devon Bull calves, got by Mr. Am¬ 
brose Stevens’ imported hull “ Candy,” bred by the dis¬ 
tinguished Mr. Quality, of Devonshire, England, and out 
of cows descended from the herd of the late Earl of Lei¬ 
cester. 
The remainder of the cows and calves, forty to fifty 
in number, are high-bred Short-Horn grades, with a dash 
of Devon blood in some of them. 
The calves of the thorough-bred Short-Horns and grade 
cows, are mostly got by the imported Short-Horn hull 
“Duke of Exeter,” (10,152,) of the celebrated Princess 
tribe, bred by Mr. John Stephenson of Durham, England, 
whose herd is excelled by none, if equalled by any in 
England. 
All the Short-Horn and grade cows and heifers which 
come in season, will be bulled, previous to the sale, by 
“ Duke of Exeter.” 
Many of the cows, both thorough-bred and grade, are 
descended from the Bates hulls “Duke of Wellington,” 
imported by George Vail, Esq., of Troy, N. Y.; and by 
“ Symmetry,” son of Wellington, out of Mr. Vail's import¬ 
ed Bates cow Duchess. 
This stock has been bred with a strict regard to their 
milking quality, in which they have been fully proved , and 
nve not excelled by any herd of cows in the United States. 
They arc all gentle, with fine silky udders, milk easy, and 
are animals that will he satisfactory to any one in want of 
the best breeding and milking stock. 
The sale will take place at the residence of Peter Gur- 
bane, two miles above Albany, on the Troy road, on the 
homestead farm of Gen. Van Rensselaer, where the cattle 
will be for a week before the sale. 
Catalogues with pedigrees are prepared and will be sent 
by mail to all post-paid applicants. 
I will also sell at the same time, two pairs of six years 
old, thorough-bred Short-Horn oxen, and two or three 
pairs of matched steers. 
Also, ten or twelve South-Down buck lambs, got by an 
imported ram, from the unrivalled flock of Jonas Webb, 
of Brabraliam. England, and from Ewes descended from 
the flocks of Mr. Webb, and Mr. Eltmau of Sussex.

MCCORMICK’S VIRGINIA REAPER. 
Washington, June 25, 1852. 
Seymour & Morgan of Brockport, in reply to my adver¬ 
tisement published in a late number of this paper, say 
they are not infringing my patent, in ihe manufacture and 
sale of their Reapers. They did the same in a published 
notice last season, after I had sued tliem^and previous to 
my obtaining the large verdict of §17,306 against them for 
infringing, which remains unpaid,—in the following lan 
guage: 
“ If we should get beat we have ample means to pay all 
damages, but we have more ample means to heat Mr. Mc¬ 
Cormick in a way that will settle all his claims to either 
improvements or original patents, and when he gets thro* 
with us, we will guarantee he will be glad to let others 
alone.” 
Sane me from annihilation. After so lofty a swell and 
calalamitous fall, Seymour & Morgan can hardly expect 
that farmers, who are equally liable with them for usin 
machine that is an infringement, will be satisfied with a 
mere denial. 
Thomas J Paterson, General Agent, Office No.

HUSSSEY’S REAPING MACHINE. 
T HIS has now become a standard and model Machine in 
all the grain growing sections of this State. While 
others have been altering and experimenting, with but 
doubtful success, Hussey's Reaper has given the most en¬ 
tire satisfaction wherever it has been used. Farmers, after 
trying many other Reapers offered them in Western New 
York, have given to this the most unqualified approbation. 
The simplicity of its arrangement and the durability of its 
(instruction commend it at once to general favor. Per¬ 
forming its work equally well in lodged as in standing 
grain, meeting the just expectation of every purchaser, we 
take pleasure in again offering it to our numerous custom¬ 
ers and friends. 
They are sold at manufacturer’s prices, adding cost of 
transportation, by JOHN RAPALJE & Co.,

TESTIMONIALS. 
Bf.rgf.n, Sept. 1, 1851.—This is to certify, that I have for 
three seasons used one of Hussey’s Respiting Machines, 
which I purchased at the Genesee Seed Score, and that it 
gives perfect satisfaction. I have cut my wheat when it 
was very badly lodged, much faster, better and cheaper 
than it could have been done in any other way. I had one 
of McCormick’s, hut left. it. in the rored, n useless article, 
as I consider it; having tried for three years to use it, 
without any success. 
I consider Hussey’s Machine just the thing for our farm¬ 
ers, and I could not now, after having proved its merits, be 
induced to be without one. Noah Wilbur. 
We would refer to the following gentlemen, who have 
purchased and used Hussey’s machine, and who also speak 
highly in its praise :

[ Wheeler’s Combined Thresher and WiSnower.] 
CT. Y. ST AT 3 AGRICULTURAL WORKS, ALBANY, 
BY WHEELER, MELICK & COMPANY. 
T HE Subscribers offer this season a new and most valu¬ 
able Machine in the successful combination of a Win¬ 
nower with their Overshot Thresher. It is easily driven 
wif.h our Double Horse Power, and has now been fairly 
tested, a large number having been in constant use during 
the past threshing season. 
We have numerous letters from gentlemen who have 
used the Winnower, and gave extracts from a few of them 
in our advertisements of last month, and we now insert a 
few more. We might add a large number but it is deem¬ 
ed unnecessary. 
From R. Olney, of Portage, N. Y. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Mblick & Co.:—I will now state 
some facts in regard to your Thresher & Winnower. We 
first used it to thresh Oats, which were good and not very 
long straw. Wirh 5 hands we threshed and cleaned fit for 
market, 60 bushels per hour while running. This is not 
guess work, as is frequently the case, but we kept the time 
to the minutes, and much larger figures might have been 
made had we exerted ourselves. Our wheat was heavy 
growth and very long straw. We averaged 20 to 25 bush¬ 
els an hour, using a pair of mules and a span of very light 
horses alternately, but with either team alone and 5 hands 
1 can thresh 400 bushels good Oafs a day and half that 
quantity of Wheat, and make it no harder for team or 
bands than ordinary farm work. The machine is admira¬ 
bly adapted to the farmer’s use ; can be worked at so li. tie 
expense and in bad weather when little else can be done. 
It is of the most simple and durable construction, there 
being nothing liable to break or soon wear out but that, a 
common farmer can repair. It cleans the grain well and 
wastes less than any other I ever examined. I write thus 
minutely that you may understand the facts as they are; 
the figures I have given being taken from our ordinary 
threshing without any effort to hurry business.” 
Extract from a letter of W.w. Osborn, Esq., of 
Waterville. N. Y. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Gentlemen—My 
Uncle wishes me to say to you that his Winnower more than 
answered his expectations. My own opinion may be gath¬ 
ered from the fact that I want otic as soon you can forward 
it. It is unquestionably the most perfect thing ever got 
up for Threshing and Cleaning. I have considerable ac¬ 
quaintance wi li labor-saving Agricultural Machines, anil 
I never yet saw any thing which for its simplicity and per¬ 
fect adaptation to the wants of farmers, compared with 
your Machine.” 
With a one horse power it will cut from 10 to 15 cords of 
wood twice in two per day.

Wheeler's Clover Huller. 
This machine is compact simple and durable. It does 
its work perfectly without injuring the seed, and is capable 
of hulling from 5 to 15 bushels of clover seed per day 
with one horse.

Trojan Plow. 
The subscribers are also the sole agents in Albany for 
the sale of the celebrated “ 'Projan Plow," made by N. B. 
Starbuck, of Troy. These plows are doubtless superior 
to any other kind in use, and will he sold by us at manu¬ 
facturer's prices. 
A". Machines made and sold by us are warranted 
to give satisfaction, or they may be returned after a rea¬ 
sonable time for trial. Orders arc soliciled, and will bo 
promptly filled. WHEELER, MELICK & Co ,

Rttrrall’s New Convertible Reaper. 
rjlHIS MACHINE is now complete, and contains in a 
simple and compact form, every desirable iniprove- 
JL 
ment. 
1. It cuts Grain of all kinds, Clover and ’fimotliy Seed, 
in all conditions, (wet or dry,) without clogging. 
2. It cuts at any height required, by a few moments 
change. 
3. It discharges the Grain in the rear, if preferred, like 
Hussey’s, or at the sidelikts M’Corimck’s; leaving room for 
the team and machine to pass nga« without treading on 
the grain. This change is made by means of an extra 
apron, (attached in a moment) from which the grain is 
laid in better condition for drying and binding, and with 
muph less labor to the raker than has ever been done be¬ 
fore. 
From Chester Olney, dated March 1st, 1852. 
“ Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Last fall I employ¬ 
ed Mr. Olney with one of your Puwera& Winnowers to do 
my threshing, aud I must cheerful Instate that the work 
was done better, with a less number of hands and less 
waste, than ever before wi h other machines. It averaged 
from 20 to thirty bushels per hour of Wheat and twice as 
much of Oats.” 
From H. J. Crkwell, Esq., Columbia, N. Y. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Gentlemen—The 
Thresher & Winnower you sent proves to bo beyond my 
expectations. I have the pleasure of writing to you for 
one more, if you can furnish it williiu the next three or 
four weeks.” 
From a second letter of E. French, Esq., Bridgeport, 
N. Y.,—dated March 9, 1852. 
“ Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—I am not able to 
do your Winnower the justice it deserves. I have used it 
since August and it has earned §500 without asking for 
work, while other machines have been begging for it,. I 
have had a man running it who has an 8 Horse Machine 
of his own aud good of its kind, but he could not get work 
wi:.h it. I have taken pains to exhibit the operation of 
your machiue, and have seen none but pronounce it the 
most perfect in use. It has threshed 25 bushels per hour 
and is capable of threshing 2u0 bushels per day of good 
wheat My wheat was of the * Soles ’ variety. I sold it 
from the machine for seed without other cleaning. Oats 
it will clean better than any Fanning Mill I ever used.” 
From J. Glbndening, Esq., Newport, R. I. 
“ Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—Gentlemen— I am 
pleased to say that the Thresher and Winnower exceed my 
most sanguine expectations. I can get through 350 to 400 
bushels of Oats per day.”

ty of the crank motion, and gives a quiet and uniform 
movement to the machine. 
Every Reaper is warranted to be thoroughly and sub¬ 
stantially built, and to work well. A large number were 
in operation during the last harvest, aud nothing of the 
kind has ever attracted more attention or given greater 
satisfaction. 
Those wishing these machines are requested to send or¬ 
ders as soon as convenient, as the subscriber was unable 
to supply the demand the last season, and has already or¬ 
ders on hand for a large number.

RURRALL’S GRAIN REAPER. 
T HOSE interested will please bear in mind that we have 
the exclusive Agency for the sale of the BURRALL 
REAPER in this State west of Canandaigua, and those 
therefore, who are intending to purchase, will please call 
on us. We set them up and put them in operation for those 
who wish, free of charge. The Reapers are warranted. 
We can convince any one, we think, that the Burrall 
Reaper is the best Reaper now offered to the public.— 
Call and hear what we have to say. We have alarge num¬ 
ber of written recommendations from those we sold to 
last year. We give one below as a specimen of the whole 
Call early or you may be disappointed. Last year we 
could not supply half the calls, and many, therefore, were 
disappointed : 
Brighton, June 15th, 1851. 
Mr. Burrall, Sir :—You request me to state my views 
with regard to your Reaper. 
I purchased one of your Reapers, of Briggs & Brother, 
about the 10th of July last, with which I cut about seventy 
acres of wheat; and then sold it to Mr. Thompson, of 
Nunda, Livingston Co., who was waiting for me to finish 
my harvest, and saw it operate from day to day. He pre¬ 
ferred waiting for me to finish my harvest, to purchasing 
any other kind. 
My object in selling the Reaper was, that I might avail 
myself of the improvements you might make during the 
year. 
I am satisfied the principle of your Reaper is better than 
any other I have seen, yours being the third I have tried 
on my farm. It occupies less space on the ground—has a 
better motion—outs without clogging, on a slow gae - 
coupled and geared in such a manner, tliat the draft is 
lighter than any other I have run. 
Yours, resp'y., Roswell Hart.

From E. T. Tiffany, of Dimock, Pa. 
“Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co.:—I consider your 
combined Thresher and Winnower one of the best Ma¬ 
chines ever introduced into Northern Pennsylvania I have 
used one of them through December and a part of Janu¬ 
ary, and did more business than any other four machines 
in this place. With a good team I can Ihresli 400 bush¬ 
els of Oats per day, and I think with an exchange I could 
thresh 500 or 6110, and with less waste and expense than 
any other machine in existence. Could I get experienced 
workmen l would order one or two more. It would bo 
the be-4 investment 1 could make. 1 can make better profit

approbation 
From Samuel Tucker, of North Evans, N. Y. 
Messrs. Wheeler, Melick & Co :—In reply to your re¬ 
quest about the Thresher a id Winnower, I am ready to 
answer that it works well. Indeed its equal was never 
seen in Erie Co. I have threshed 18,794 bushels of Wheat, 
Oats and Barley, besides 50 bushels grass seed. A number 
of my neighbors want machines like mine. 
Price of Double Power Thresher and Winnower, .... §225 
The superiority of Wheeler’s Patent Rail— .'Chain 
Horse Power, aud Overshot Thresher and Separator is 
universally acknowledged. Thousands of them are ill use, 
many of which have threshed from 50,000 to 100,000 bush¬ 
els of grain, and are still iu good condition. Probably 
more than four times as many of these machines were 
sold during last year as of any other kind. They are be¬ 
yond doubt the most durable and economical machine in 
Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as 
well at the New York and Pennsylvania Fairs as on several 
private occasions in competition wiili another machine 
made in this city, which lias been adverertised to be far 
superior to ours, and iu every instance the result has been 
about one-third, and in sonic instances more, in favor of 
our machines. In every case except one, where we have 
submitted our machine to if working test at Fairs, it has 
taken the highest premiums, and in that, excepted case the 
Committee decided that our machine perfowned its work 
in 8 minutes and its competitor iu 11% min *es, being 
nearly oue-tliird in favor of ours. 
We have also exhibited ours in competition with 'he 
same machine at the State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan and 
Pennsylvania, and also at the Provincial Fair in Upper 
Canada, at, all of which we received the higherpremiums, 
viz.: In Ohio a Silver Medal and Diplotr. ir. Michigan 
§20; in Pennsylvania §10 ; and iu Canada a 7-_ :_ ni. ■>. 
We have numerous similar testimonials, from 'in -ty 
Societies, where we have always received the highest pre¬ 
miums awarded to Cliaiu Powers.

Single Horse Power and Thresher and Separator. 
This machine is well adapted to the use of farmers rais¬ 
ing an ordinary quantity of grain : wi li 2 or 3 hands it is 
capable of threshing from 60 to 100 bushels of Wheat per 
day or twice that quantity of Oats. The same power is 
also used for churning, and for driving circular and cross 
cut saws, cutting feed, driving grindstones, elevating grain,

( Single Horse Pow.r and Churning Machine. 
This machine has been extensively use in large dairies 
and with the most satisfactory results. The power is 
found to be peculiarly adapted to churning, the propelling 
force being produced by the weight of the horse to an 
amount sufficient to drive 4 or 5 barrel churns; the motion 
is varied by altering the elevation of the power so as to 
produce all the changes in speed required in the different 
stages of the process of churning : this is done by means 
of a lever and without stopping the horse, so that the mo¬ 
tion is always under the control of the |>erson in charge. 
The Power is the same as that made by us for threshing. 
Wh-eler’s Feed Cutter. 
This machine is made expressly for Horse Power use. 
and is very strong and substantial. It cuts not only corn 
stalks hui hay and straw with equal facility, and does its 
work with great rapidity.
