MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL 
foreign Intelligent*. 
ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC, 
The Collins steamship Pacific, Captain Nye, 
reached New York on the 8th inst. She left 
Liverpool on the 28tli ult., at HJjA o’clock, A. M. 
The Pacific brings one hundred and seven pas¬ 
sengers, and six hundred and fifty tons of freight. 
Exgland. —The elections are now over with the 
exception of five vacancies still to be filled, name¬ 
ly, Orkney and Wick, in Scotland, and Tyrone 
and Donegal, in Ireland. It is even with the re¬ 
turns before us, a difficult matter to foretell what 
majority—for majority they iv ill have—the Derby 
ministry are able to command in the House. 
The American-built yacht Truant, belonging to 
Mr. Grinnell, came in first at the Liverpool yacht 
race, on Saturday, and gained her owner a piece 
of plate. 
The Sun says :—There has been quite an influx 
of our transatlantic brethren of literature and the 
drama, in London, thd present season. Among 
the late arrivals, are Mrs. Edwin Forrest, Miss 
Cushman, Mrs. Abbott, Mrs. .1. S. Silsbee, Miss 
Grace Greenwood, the authoress ; Mr. Buchanan, 
the tragedian. 
Most of the Irish provincial papers that have 
come to hand teem with accounts of election out¬ 
rages. At Baline, the police had to charge the 
crowd with the bayonet. 
Markets. —In the grain market no change of 
importance has occurred; heavy and continued 
rain about IS hours has caused some gliglit injury 
to the crops in this neighborhood, which, how¬ 
ever, is not irjeparable, and as fine weather again 
prevails, the prospects for a good harvest are un¬ 
abated. Wheat is in fair request, and there is also 
more inquiry for good sweet flour, at last week’s 
prices. The demand for Indian corn has fallen off, 
but, as few samples were offered, no decline can 
be noticed in rates, although to make sales con¬ 
cessions would have to be made. 
Holland. —We find the following in the x\m- 
sterdam Handelsblad of the 18th:—“We learn 
from a positive source, that the government of the 
U. S. of America has abandoned its project of an 
expedition against Japan. It has preferred in¬ 
voicing the mediation of the Dutch government, 
which, in 184G, made overtures to the Emperor of 
Japan, in the interest of the whole of European 
commerce, has accepted this mission, and we have 
no doubt of its using every effort to accomplish it 
successfully.” 
The Pork Trade. — The Louisville Courier 
gives a promising account of the coming pork 
harvest. Throughout Kentucky and Indiana 
there is a large increase in hogs this season, which 
are worth ten per cent more than they were last, 
owing, it is said, to the fact that the farmers are 
feeding them on corn. The same account is given 
of Ohio. The Couriei says : 
Already some operatois in Louisville have pur¬ 
chased, for delivery early in the fall, some 20,000 
hogs, which will be fattened in Indiana, and will 
be delivered in the Falls City at $3 to $3,25 gross. 
Some days ago we stated that several large sized 
lots had been contracted for at Madison at $4,50, 
net. A provision dealer at Louisville has agreed 
to deliver next spring, a lot of new mess pork, 
to be manufactured from the coming crop, at $15, 
which is nearly $5 per bbL less than at present 
prices. 
Portage Bridge. —This immense structure is 
nearly completed. Those who have not seen it 
should go now, as it is worth fifty miles travel to 
see them raising it. It will be, if not the won¬ 
der of the world, the wonder of the thousands 
Avho will visit it annually. We are not aware 
that there is another bridge in the world as high 
and as large as this, and we are confident there 
is not, of similar structure. It is 235 feet from 
the river to the track, and 210 to the top of the 
railing; and the length 1000 feet. The Suspen¬ 
sion bridge at Niagara Falls is 230 feet high and 
795 long—so that Niagara is beat in this respect. 
And yet, though this work is reared to such an 
astonishing height, it has the appeaiance of per¬ 
fect safety. W e are told that by calculation they 
know that it wquld bear twenty times the weight 
of any train that can be put upon it .—Wyoming 
Co. Mirror. 
Union College. — The commencement exer¬ 
cises at this ancient and well-beloved institution 
took place last week, beginning on Sunday even¬ 
ing. The address and orations are said to have 
been excellent and worthy of the reputation of 
the College. The graduating class comprised 73 
students, who received the usual degree. The 
honorary degree of D. D. was conferred upon Rev. 
J. Barnard, of Lima. President Nott was in his 
accustomed position, and appeared to be in ex¬ 
cellent health. Dr. Hiclcok assumes the duties of 
the Vice Presidency of the College and Professor 
of Moral Philosophy, at the beginning of the next 
term .—Rochester Democrat. 
New Feature in Railaoad Business. — Six¬ 
teen cars, loaded with eight"sticks of timber, for 
ship’s masts, 84 feet in length and 3 feet in di¬ 
ameter, brought from Canada, to Buffalo, thence 
up the canal to Mabees, in Niagara county, and 
there transferred to the cars, were brought over 
the Buffalo and Rochester Railroad, Rochester 
and Syracuse, Syracuse and Utica, Utica and 
Schenectady, Rensselaer and Saratoga, Saratoga 
and Washington, Rutland and Washington, Rut¬ 
land and Burlington, Cheshire, Fitchburg, Grand 
Junction, to East Boston, and thence over the 
Eastern Bailroad to Portsmouth, N. H., G28 miles 
without change of cars. 
The Honey Bee in California.—M r. W. A. 
Buckley, of Newburg, N. l r ., has succeeded in 
introducing the honey bee in California. Out of 
three hives taken from New York, he succeeded 
in crossing the Isthmus with one, which arrived 
at San Francisco recently in health and working 
order. Great difficulty has been experienced in 
importing bees to the Pacific, in consequence of 
the wax melting in the tropics. Numerous ex¬ 
periments have failed on this account. 
Doing Nothing.— The N. Y. Tribune publishes 
tables, from which it appears that 204 navy offi¬ 
cers have been entirely unemployed for periods 
varying from five to ten years; 165 have done 
nothing for ten years and over; 36 had rest and 
ease for more than twenty years ; all these receiv¬ 
ing their pay and emoluments, and yet, not per¬ 
forming a day’s work in the time—not even shore 
service in the navy yards. It appeals that 216 
officers are now waiting orders. 
Genesee College.— The next term of this In¬ 
stitution opens on the 26th of August. The 
Dedication of the new College edifice takes place 
at 10 o’clock of the day previous, the leading 
dedicatory Address being delivered by the Rev. E. 
Thomson, D. D., President of the Wesleyan Uni¬ 
versity of Ohio.

GREAT SALE OF BLOOD CATTLE. 
O N Wednesday, the 18th of August next, I w ill sell the 
chief part of my large herd of Blood Cattle—chiefly 
cows, heifers, and heifer and bull calves—comprising up¬ 
wards of fifty full-bred Short-Horns. 
Also, eight thorough-bred Ilerefords—a two year old 
bull, a yearling bull, three cows, and three calves/ One of 
the Hereford cows (“Rarity”) was imported from Eng¬ 
land by Messrs. Corning & Sotliam, in 1841. The others, 
excepting the two years old bull, are her descendents, by 
bulls of the same stock. 
Also, two or three Devon Bull calves, got liy Mr. Am¬ 
brose Stevens’ imported bull “ Candy,” bred by the dis¬ 
tinguished Mr. Quarity, of Devonshire, England, and out 
of cows descended from the herd of the lace 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 bull 
“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 he bulled, previous to the sale, by 
“ Duke of Exeter.” 
Mauy of the cows, both thorough-bred and grade, are 
descended from the Bates bulls “ 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 
are noc excelled by any herd of cows in the United States. 
They are all gentle, with fine silky udders, milk easy, and 
are animals that will lie satisfactory to any one iu want of 
the best breediug and milking stock. 
Tiie sale will take place at the residence of Peter G ur¬ 
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. 
1 will also sell at the same time, two pairs of six years 
old, thorougli-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 Brabraham, England, and from Ewes descended from 
the flocks of Mr. Webb, and Mr. Eilman of Sussex.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
Annexed are a few of the many voluntary 
notices, received from various sections, during 
the past few weeks : 
The Wool Grower. —This Journal has been removed 
from Buffalo to Rochester, and will be published hereafter 
by D. D. T. Moore, Esq., who has become its proprietor. 
T. C. Peters, Esq., will continue as Editor of the Wool 
Department, while the other departments will he under 
(he supervision of Mr. Moore. The lending object of the 
paper is to discuss subjects of most immediate interest to 
Wool Growers and Stock Breeders. It is needless to say 
that in such hands the Wool Grower will become to its 
subscribers all that labor, expense, time and talent can 
well make it.— Michigan Christian Herald. 
It is still under the editorial charge of its first founder, 
T. C. Peters. Friend Moorf. has the editorial supervision 
of the Stock Department, and between them both, they 
will make a very valuable and acceptable work.— Maine 
Farmer. 
We believe it will be a valuable auxiliary to the other 
publications designed for the farmer—taking as it does com¬ 
paratively unoccupied but important ground.— Boston Cult. 
We heartily and cheerfully recommend it to every person 
interested in sheep husbandry, or the production or manu- 
| focture of wool.— Valley Farmer. 
The Wool Grower for July comes to us in a most charm¬ 
ing new dress—white and clean as a well washed sheep.— 
Prairie Frmcr. 
We cordially recommend the Wool Grower and Stock 
Register to all our friends interested in those departments. 
—Granite Farmer. 
It is a valuable work for the wool grower, and contains 
much that is interesting to the general agricultural reader. 
—iY. Y. Farmer. 
It is a journal for which wc should suppose every one 
engaged in sheep husbandry or stock raising, would gladly 
pay 50 cents a year.— Middlesex: Farmer. 
The Wool Growf.r and Stock Register wifi be devo¬ 
ted particularly to the subjects of raising wool and the 
breeding of stock; and as it will be conducted with un¬ 
doubted ability, should be in the hands of every farmer. 
It will no doubt at once command a very extensive circu¬ 
lation and enjoy a large influence.— Rock. Democrat. 
Mr. Moore has abundant means at his disposal to make 
the Wool Grower and Slock Register all that can be wished 
by its friends, and its readers will find him a zealous ad¬ 
vocate of their class, and a jealous guardian of tlicir rigl ts 
and interests, anxious to afford them all possible informa¬ 
tion in regard to the subjects in which they are most in- 
| terested. We commend the paper most heartily to the 
j patronage of farmers, stock growers, and all who are in- 
I terested in its objects. We are happy to state that Mr. 
Peters will continue to edit that portion of the paper de¬ 
voted to wool.— Detroit Free Press. 
The Wool Grower.— This monthly, long andereditahly 
conducted in this city, has been removed to Rochester, 
and will hereafter be published in that city. The pro¬

enough to guarantee it a wide and popular run. It must 
live and prosper in his hands.— BuJJ'alo Chris. Advocate. 
In point of typography, quality of paper, execution of 
engravings, and literary merit, this publication is of the 
highest excellence.— Ontario Repository. 
Wc predict for it an unprecedented circulation among 
the Farmers and Stock Growers throughout the Union.—

It is a work of emphatic merit, and cannot fail of be¬ 
coming a favorite wherever known.— Rochester Daily Adv. 
This journal should be in the hands of every wool grower 
in the land.— III. True Dem. 
To wool growers and breeders of stock, this is a work 
of great value.— Adrian (Mich.) Watch Tower.

DOWNS & CO.’S GARDEN ENGINE. 
T HIS cut represents a Garden Engine, devised and man- 
ufiictured by us, which we feel j ustified in commending 
to the Trade and public, as a very neat combination of use¬ 
fulness and convenience. 
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 liighly useful in not only supplying Gardens and 
Nurseries with regular showers in times 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 5U gallons of water, is placed 
on cast iron wheels, with handles, as represented in the cut, 
and the Pump will throw water about 70 feet, iu a horizon¬ 
tal direction, and 40 feet high. 
C, the end of the spout on the hose, has a thread upon 
which the sprinkler A, is secured at the extremity B, when 
used for showering; and the whole we have no hesitation 
in commending as a truly useful and successful arrange¬ 
ment. 
Orders respectfully solicited. Price §20; and any person 
enclosing us that amount, with directions when and how to 
ship, can have it forwarded at once.

Pumps, which dealers are invited to examine—and upon 
their application will send Circulars.

superlatively good. It needs no “ puffing” from us or 
any one else .—Literary Journal.
