MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
California Muds. 
ARRIVAL OF THE PROMETHEUS. 
The steamship Prometheus, Capt. Churchill, 
arrived in New York Thursday afternoon in eight 
days and ten hours from San Juan del Norte, 
whicli place she left on the morning of the 21st 
ult. She brings a large number of passengers. 
The Columbia took $300,000 in gold dust on 
freight. This, with the amount shipped by the 
Golden Gate on the 25th of June, makes a total 
sum, properly belonging to the shipment of the 
1st of July, of $1,700,000. 
The news by this arrival is quite devoid of in¬ 
terest, being but five days lator than the advices 
by way of Panama, received a few days since. 
In Mariposa county, extreme and summary 
measures have been taken to drive foreigners from 
the mines. The case, as stated in the papers is 
one of extreme hardship, and the occurrences are 
beyond all question, unjustifiable, although it is 
to be hoped there has been some exaggeration in 
the account. 
The emigration over the Plains had begun to 
arrive. The parties generally, were in good 
health. 
The American brig Sully had been seized by 
the Collector at San Francisco, for violation of the 
passenger laws, in bringing an excess of Chinese 
passengers into that po.tt. The Danish brig Lom- 
bock had also been seized. 
The New Library of Congress. — Norton’s 
Literary Gazette gives a description of the pro¬ 
posed arrangement of the new library. There is 
to be a suite of five rooms, in all, three hundred 
and two feet. There will be two stories of al¬ 
coves, the second one receding three feet from the 
first, so as to admit of a gallery with but little 
projection ; and above the second story of alcoves 
will be a third story, with book-cases against the 
walls. The whole interior is to be of iron, and 
fire-proof, so as to avoid the possibility of another 
calamitous fire, and is to be finished in a style of 
great architectural beauty. The shelves will be 
of porcelain. The expense will amount to $72,- 
000, and the library is calculated, when finished, 
to accommodate 50,000 volumes. Ten thousand 
dollars have been appropriated, and the books 
purchased to take their place in the new library; 
and valuable additions will be made to the library 
from time to time. 
Novels on Slavery. —The great success of Mrs. 
Beecher’s “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” has produced a 
horde of imitations in the same line of romance. 
A book called “ The AVhite Slave,” has already 
made its appearance, and another entitled, “ Life 
in the South,” is in course of publication, in Phil¬ 
adelphia. “Aunt Phillis’ Cabin, or Southern Life 
as it is,” is also announced, designed to present 
pictures of Southern life from a ditfrent point of 
view than that chosen by Mrs. Stowe. A house 
in Buffalo is getting out a new “ Uncle Tom’s 
Cabin,” with the addition, “as it is,” to the title. 
As things go, slavery and anti-slavery seem likely 
to become the chief features of our literary fictions. 
Mutilation of Bank Notes. —In a suit before 
an Alderman in Pittsburg, to recover of the Ex¬ 
change Bank the value of a five dollar mutilated 
note, the Alderman decided that the possessor of 
the note was only entitled^) four dollars. The 
note had about an inch torn out of the middle of 
it, which, it was contended by the officers of the 
bank, could, with a like amount from five other 
notes, form a sixth bill, and one equally as good 
and passable as that presented at the bank for re¬ 
demption. The bank had offered to give $4 for 
the note, but it was refused, and the full value of 
the face of the note demanded. 
CniNESE in California — Bloomers. — Among 
the hundreds of Chinese emigrants, recently ar¬ 
rived from Hongkong, are eighteen females, 
doubtless induced to come over by the glowing 
accounts of the country given by the few of their 
countrywomen who have preceded them. They 
appear to be possessed of more means than the 
men, as many or them were dressed in short 
gowns and full trousers of purple and blue silk— 
a perfect specimen of the Bloomer costume, ex¬ 
cept the conformation of the gown, which hung 
loosely about them, unconfined by a girdle. 
Commerce of San Francisco. — Amount of 
tonnage arrived during the months of March 
April and May :—American 36,272, foreign 40,- 
336. Total tonnage 76,608. Arrival of emigrants 
for the same period, from foreign and domestic 
? orts, males, 18,990 ; females 1,398 ; children 535. 
otal 20,923. Imports of bullion during same 
period ; to Panama $9,230,500, to Nicaragua, 
$108,071, to Valparaiso $20,549, to Mexico $1,- 
000, to Honolulu $12,000, to Peru $4,000, to Cal¬ 
cutta $25,000, to China 155,350. Total $9,533,- 
970. 
Senate and Assembly Printing. —The Albany 
Argus says that the contract for the printing of the 
two Houses of the Legislature for the next two 
years, has been awarded to the former contractor, 
Mr. C. Van Beuthuysen. The contest among the 
several competitors was finally reduced to two 
firms—that of Van Benthuvsen of Albany, and 
Messrs. J. G. Crowell & Co., of New York, and 
the former being most favorable for the State re¬ 
ceived the contract. 
Flax Manufacture.— Wo are informed that a 
number of enterprising gentlemen have purchas¬ 
ed a factory at Marcellus, Onondaga county, and 
stocked it with machinery imported from Eng¬ 
land, for the purpose of making linen cloth.— 
This is something entirely different from the 
“ Flax Cotton.” Those who have engaged in the 
undertaking express undoubting confidence in its 
success. We shall watch their progress with in¬ 
terest .—Daily American. 
Corporations. —There are corporations of va¬ 
rious kinds—and the corporation of an Alderman 
is generally capacious, but those of the N. York 
Aldermen “ takes the dilapidated linen off the 
shrubbery.” In two days a committee of six¬ 
teen of them, escorting Mr. Clay’s remains to Al¬ 
bany, ran up a bill of $1,421,30 for “ refresh¬ 
ments.” In the name of common sense, what 
did they eat ? 
Campiikxe. —It is said that not less than 60 
{ lersous have been burned, some to death, some 
ess fatally, by the explosion of Camphene, in 
New York and Brooklyn, this year already ! It 
is a heavy account of casualities from one cause I 
J&wktts. 
Rural New-Yorker Office, ) 
Rochester, August 4, 1852. ) 
TnERE is very little animation in our market, and very 
few transactions to note. Farmers have been too busy to 
bring any thing to market, and just now fear of the cholera 
acts as a preventive to those otherwise disposed to market 
their produce. 
Flour—There is but little doing in flour. Millers are 
grinding some new wheat and sending forward flour to 
meet the demand for fresh flour at flic cast, though prices 
are moderate all round. 
Grain—Our millers are in quest of wheat, and readily 
purchase all the prime Genesee offered, though not at pri¬ 
ces quite high enough to meet the wishes of farmers.—■ 
Sales were made ou Saturday of 3,000 bushels Genesee at 94 
@96c., and 5,000 Mich, at 86 cents. No movement in other 
grains. 
Provisions—The market is supplied with some difficultly, 
though enough to meet the demand. Cut meats are high. 
Nothing doing in barreled provisions except at retail. 
Hay—The report that drouth has effected the crop in va¬ 
rious localities will have an influence upon our market, and 
prices will be Arm. In this section wo think the crop a full 
average of last year. 
Wool—There is little doing in the wool market, and pri¬ 
ces are nominal. We anticipate more animation during 
the fall, and shall look for an increased demand.

Great Sale of Superior, Thorough-bred 
SHOUT-HOllN CATTLE. 
T HE Subscriber will offer for sale, liis entire herd of 
choice Short-horns, comprising 50 head, young and 
okl, at public Auction, on Wednesday tho 13th of October, 
1852, at 1 o'clock, P. M., at liis Farm 234 miles from the 
City of Troy ; reserving to himself one bid on 5 Cows and 
Heifers and one Bull, say six head in ail, and these to he 
poiuted out previous to the commencement of the sale; 
this bid will be made public when the six animals are bro’t 
to the stand for sale. Should any gentlemen advance on the 
single bid made by the proprietor, the highest bidder will 
be entitled to the animal. It is proper to say, the severe 
drought in this vicinity, reducing the hay crop one half, lias 
decided the proprietor to make this sale at the time named, 
instead of next June, which he had purposed to do. 
Tho well established reputation of tliis herd in this Union 
and iu Canada, and the splendid herd it has measurably 
sprung from, viz., the famed herd of that eminent Eng¬ 
lish breeder, the late Thomas Bates, Esq., renders it hardly 
necessary to comment upon its superior merits. It may not 
however be inappropriate to remark, that the establish¬ 
ment of this herd was commenced in 1838, and that the 
most careful attention has since been paid to its breeding, 
and that it now contains mostly all the reserved stock of 
tw<#former public sales. Since 1810, the proprietor has im¬ 
ported from the late Mr. Bates, and Ids friends and late 
tenants the Messrs. Bells, 7 head of Short-horns. And be¬ 
sides these he has now on the passage across the Atlantic, 
shipped 21st Juuc, on board the packet ship Kossuth, Capt. 
Jas. B. Bell, a superior yearling roan Bull, having many 
crosses of the famed Duchess Bulls of Mr. Bates. Inclu¬ 
ding this latter, and the two beautiful red roan 3 year old 
Heifers, which came out from England last September, 
“ Yarm Lass” and “ Yorkshire Countess,” and the beautiful 
Heifer Calf of the latter animal, got in England by the 
Duchess Bull, 5th Duke of York, there will be 14 head of 
tliis imported stock, and its immediate descendents. There 
has been sold from this herd but 3 Heifers from the impor¬ 
tations, and these Cows were sold at @300 each. All the 
young Bulls bred from these Cows, except those now offer¬ 
ed for sale, have also been sold at private sale, at @300 each, 
most of them while quite young. 
Besides these 14 head of high bred animals, the noble 
•premium Cow Esterville 3d, bred by E. P. Prentice, Esq., 
of Albany, and her equally fine 2 year old red and white 
Heifer bred by me, got by the Bates Bull Meteor, and 3 of 
the famed milking Willey tribe, the same tribe of Cows as 
the Heifer Ruby, sold by me to Mr. S. P. Chapman, ot' Mad¬ 
ison Co., and which Cow was awarded the first premium by 
the N. Y. State Agricultural Society, for producing the lar¬ 
gest quantity of butter in 10 days in June, 10 days in Aug., 
ou grass pasture only, being a fraction over 40 lbs. in those 
20 days. There are other valuable tribes in the herd, as 
the printed Catalogue will show. 
The Catalogue wall be ready for distribution about the 
1st of August, and will exhibit richness of pedigrees rarely 
to he met with, showing the descent of the most of the an¬ 
imals from the best animals on record in I he English herd 
book. Haring received an invitation from H. Strafford last 
winter to forward a list of the pedigrees of my herd to be 
inserted in the forthcoming volumes of the English herd 
book of which Mr. S. is now the Editor, several pedigrees 
were sent to him of the animals here offered for sale, and 
will appear in said book. Gentlemen are invited to exam¬ 
ine the herd at any time. 
A credit of 9 months will be given on all sums up to @300, 
and 9 and 18 months on all sums over @300, for approved 
paper, with interest payable at some Bank in this State.

Rochester and Niagara Falls Rail Road.— 
The opening of the Railroad and the passage of 
cars v seems to have given a new and brisk im 
pulse to our already smart and stirring town— 
whether to any particular advance of business or 
accession of cash to its inhabitants, we are not 
sufficiently “ posted up ” to announce—though 
wo think the landlords and hack-men are some¬ 
what benefitted. We are greatly gratified to per¬ 
ceive, by notice from the Superintendent—and m 
this we are doubtless seconded by a large majori¬ 
ty of our citizens and of the inhabitants on the 
line of the road, that no trains are hereafter to 
leave either starting point — Rochester or the 
Falls, upon the Sabbath .—Orleans Dem. (Albion.) 
SIIYJIOIR’S GRAIN DRILL.

clover seeds, either broadcast or in drills; and fine fertili¬ 
zers, snch as lime, plaster, guano, proudrette, hone-dust, 
&e., may he mixed with the grain if desired. These may 
also he sown broadcast with the same machine.

Hallock’s Agricultural Warehouse, 
No. 50 State St., Rochester, N, Y. 
T HE Subscriber, late from the Agricultural Works, 
Warehouse and Seed Store of Emery & Co., Albany, 
(where he has been engagd for the past six years,) has 
been induced to establish an Agency for the sale of their 
iustly celebrated Premium Horse Powers, Threshers, Sep¬ 
arators, &e., in Rochester. Particular attention will he 
paid to selling and putting up the Horse Powers, and other 
fixtures for Threshing, &c. A thorough knowledge of 
these machines, enables him to put them up in the most 
correct and satisfactory manner. Price and terms same 
as at Albany, transportation added. 
He will keep for sale, Emery’s Seed Planters, the best 
in use; Circular and Cross Cut Saw Mills, Feed Mills, Corn 
Stalk and Hay Cutters, Corn Shelters, Churning fixtures, 
&c., adapted to the Power. 
Also, Reapers, Mowing Machines, Grain Drills, Plows, 
Harrows, Cultivators, Corn Shellers, Hay Cutters, Fan 
Mills, and Agricultural and Horticultural Implements gen¬ 
erally. He will be prepared to furnish dealers with Dunn 
and Taylor's well known Scythes; also, Manure, Straw 
and Hay Forks, Snaths, Rifles, and other haying tools, at 
manufacurers’ prices, wholesale and retail. 
Particular attention is called to A NEW PLOW, which 
is believed to he the best rast-iron Plow ever offered, and 
which is warranted to do better work, with less expense 
of team, than any plow heretofore sold in Rochester, while 
the price is less than for any other equally well finished. 
The “.uniform one-price, cash system” will be adopted, 
with prices as low as the cost of articles, and just compen¬ 
sation for labor and time will allow. Farmers and others 
are invited to call and examine the stock of Machines and

GARDEN ENGINE. 
T HE Garden Engine, devised and manufactured hv us, 
we feel justified in commending to the Trade and pub¬ 
lic, as a very neat combination of usefulness aud conveni¬ 
ence. 
It can be moved and managed by one man for all the pur¬ 
poses of its intention, as easily as a wheel barrow, and will 
he found highly useful in not only supplying Gardens and 
Nurseries with regular showers in tunes of drouth, but also 
for showering trees and plants, and for the destruction of 
worms, which may be made effectual by an admixture of 
Sulphur with the water. 
For washing side-walks also, and windows, and for the 
extinguishment of Fires, it presents additional claims, and 
rightly considered, may be regarded as a most indispensable 
article of usefulness and security. 
The box will contain about 50 gallons of water, is placed 
on east iron wheels, with handles, as represented in the cut, 
and the Pump will throw water about 70 feet, in a horizon¬ 
tal direction, and 40 feet high. 
Orders respectfully solicited. Price @20; and any person 
enclosing us that amount, with directions when aud how to 
ship, can have it forwarded at once.

CARY’S ROTARY EIRE ENGINE PI MP. 
T HE Inventor after thoroughly testing liis engine pump 
(for the past two years,) feels confident that it is not 
equalled by any thing now in market, in the way of rais¬ 
ing or forcing water—the motion being rotary, the stream 
is constant without the aid of an air vessel. The packing 
is self-adjusting, very durable, and cannot well get out of 
order. 
These pumps are well calculated for all the purposes for 
which pumps or hydrants may be used, viz., Factories, 
Steamboats, Tanneries, Breweries, Distilleries, Railroad 
Water Stations, Hotels, Mines, Garden Engines, &c. The 
highest testimonials will be given.
