MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. 
The steamship Atlantic arrived at New York, 
October 2d, with dates from London and Liver¬ 
pool to the 22d ult., four days later. 
Cotton exhibits no change, though the market 
was duller. Sales for four days, 26,060 bales. 
In grain there is no new feature. Wheat re¬ 
mains steady at the rates of the Canada flour 
and corn firm, at the same quotations. Favorite 
brands of flour were scarce, and commanded ex¬ 
treme rates, whilst inferior was neglected. For 
cargoes Indian corn to arrive, a slight advance has 
been paid. 
Trade at Manchester quiet. 
The remains of the Duke of Wellington were 
still at Walmer Castle, and it was uncertain when 
the funeral would take place. It would, however, 
be a public one. The Duke left a will dated as 
far back as 1818. 
The President of France continued to be re¬ 
ceived everywhere with much enthusiasm, and it 
was believed the proclamation of Emperor was 
not far distant. 
A change has occurred in the Belgian Cabinet. 
Morbau, Minister of Finance, had resigned, and 
M. Leitz had accepted the office provisionally. 
The advices from Cuba, received in Spain, re¬ 
port the Island all quiet. 
The Spanish Government has ordered British 
vessels to be received in the ports of Spain, and 
be treated as Spanish vessels. 
Advices by the overland mail report an attack 
upon Prowe, by the light steamers, which ended 
in the guns in that place being carried off or 
thrown into the river. The enemy sustained great 
loss. 
A considerable rise has occurred in the river 
Rhine, by which much damage has been done.

ARRIVAL OF THE UNITED STATES. 
The Steamer United States arrived at New 
York, on the 2d iust. 
■Site brings San Francisco dates to Sept. 1st, 
anti from the Isthmus'to the 18th. The United 
States exchanged with the Nevada on the 28th of 
September, off Mayguana Islands. 
The steamer Pioneer, of Vanderbilt’s line, left 
San Juan del Sud, per San Francisco, was lost at 
Simmon’s Bay, on tire 17th August. The pas¬ 
sengers all saved, and taken to their destinations. 
The shipment of gold dust by the steamer Cal¬ 
ifornia, from San Francisco to Panama, amounted 
to $2,132,000. 
The brig Petersburgh, from Honolulu, per San 
Francisco, with a cargo of produce, was totally 
wrecked near North Heads. Cargo all saved. 
The mining news is very encouraging from all 
parts of the country. In the vicinity of Leonora 
the yield is from one to five ounces of gold to a 
man. 
A lump of nearly all gold had been taken out 
near Sacramento, which weighed 25 lbs., valued 
at from $4,000 lo $6,000. 
Much inquiry is made for farming lands, and it 
is thought that a large portion of the emigrants 
would turn their attention to farming. 
The Winfield Scott on her last arrival at San 
Francisco, was seized for carrying an excess of 
passengers, and released on giving twenty-seven 
thousand dollar bonds. 
Dates from Oregon are to the 21st of August. 
News unimportant. Numerous emigrants were 
arriving. News from the Isthmus uninteresting. 
San Francisco, Aug. 31st.—Business for the past 
fortnight, has been decidedly improved on the 
previous two weeks, and there have been several 
heavy speculative movements. 
Flour has largely advanced, with several heavy 
sales to arrive. Prices of grain have been fluctu¬ 
ating, with a slightly downward tendency. Pork 
has been in brisk demand and prices fully sus¬ 
tained. Butter depressed, and sales have been 
made as low as thirty-two cents per pound. 
A New Observatory. —We learn from the N. 
Y. Farmer and Mechanic, that Mr. Leon Lewen- 
berg, an enthusiastic astronomer, has purchased a 
piece of ground on the Pallisades, about a mile 
above Fort Lee, which is over 350 feet above the 
Hudson, and from which a view is obtained some 
25 miles in every direction. This magnificent 
site, (together with a telescope worth $2,000,) he 
proposes to give an Association, on which to erect 
an Observatory 350 feet high. This Association 
is already under way, and is to be composed of at 
least 460 share-holders, paying $25 each. 
Education' ix Georgia and Virginia. —The 
number of white adults in the State of Georgia, 
who cannot read or write, is 41,000—and the 
number of children whose parents are unable to 
send them to school is upwards of 38,000. Ac¬ 
cording to the official returns, the number of ad¬ 
ults in Virginia, who cannot read or write is 80,- 
000—twenty thousand more than in 1840; and 
the number of children whose parents have not 
the means to educate them, 75,600. And yet 
Virginia refuses to take her share of the Distribu¬ 
tion fund—even to educate her children! 
Coal Trade. —The Anthracite coal trade has 
not been so active, nor so productive to producers 
as well as carriers, for the last ten years, as at the 
present season. The tonnage for the past week, 
from the Schuylkill and Lehigh regions, reaches 
96,842 tons, ami for the season, 2 649,767 tons.— 
The Lehigh Navigation‘Company brought down 
for the week, 32,956 tons; the Schuylkill Navi¬ 
gation Company, 23,960 tons, and the Reading 
Railroad, 39,93 7 tons. Coal is in good demand, 
and prices are likely to advance.— Alb. Journal. 
Hay from Washington. —A lot of hay brought 
from Wisconsin, was recently sold in this market, 
at a handsome profit over all expenses. The 
■charges for transportation were above.$15 per ton, 
but it can be brought here much less where con¬ 
tracts are made for any quantity. Hay in the far 
west is selling for $3 per ton, while in New York 
it is worth from $20 to $22.—JV. Y. Express. 
Francfort, who lias been working-some 
abandoned lead mines, opened at Middletown, Ct., 
during the Revolutionary war, for the supply of' 
bullets to our army, has found more than enough 
silver to pay the expenses of working the mines, 
thus leaving the lead obtained as clear profit.— 
The amount of silver appears to he increasing. 
The census returns for 1850, show that 
I there were under cultivation within the State that 
year, 12,408,868 acrc-s of land, leaving 6,710,120 
acres of land unimproved. The cost value of 
farms was $551,546,642, and the value of live 
stock was $73,570,499. There were raised 13,- 
121,498 bushels of wheat, and 1,7,858,400 of corn.

Rural New-Yorker Officii, ) 
Rochester, October 6, 1852. ) 
Wrrii the commencement of another month, we have 
evidence of a healthy activity in all commercial matters. 
Money is abundant in ci v and country. Grain, one of the 
great staples of our trade, bears a fair though not high 
prico in nil parts of the country, and in the principal mar¬ 
kets is quite active. In Europe by last advices the market 
was quiet with a good demand for the better qualities of 
American flour. Everything lias a favorable appearance. 
While there will be no exciting demand for our great sta¬ 
ples, the farmer throughout the Union has the cheering 
prospect of steady market at remunerating prices for the 
products of well-directed labor. 
Flour.—The market has undergone no change, with a 
full supply, home prices are merely nominal. 
Grain.—The demand for wheat is good, though increas¬ 
ed price of transportation to the seaboard lias caused a 
slight decline. Sales have been made of 0 to 8,000 bushels 
at 94@96e.; and later of 2,100 bushels at 94c. showing a 
falling off. Corn is in demand with a small supply; sales 
are made at 62%c and a fraction over for very fine. Bar¬ 
ley is looked after, and commands 62%c. Oats sell readily 
at 37%c. 
Provisions.—We have no material change to note in this 
department. Supplies are moderate. Butter breathes 
more freely, and rareiy oversteps our quotations. 
White Beans.—There is some demand for shipping for 
which host samples arc taken at our figures. 
Ilay.—Farmers are saving of this article; with a light 
supply in market it has advanced and sells at §10@15. 
Hops.—Wo learn of no sales here. How the crop has 
come in we have not 1 een informed.

PORTABLE MILE. 
Oakland, near Geneva, N. Y., 28 Aug., 1S52. 
Mr. Charles Ross,—Dear Sir :—In reply to your tetter 
of the 25th inst., it is a pleasure to speak in commendation 
of your Patent Conical Mill. To me it lias proved valuable 
for grinding food for my stock, as a few hours labor witli 
this machine prepares food sufficient for fifteen head of 
cows for several days. The Mill used by me prepares food 
for horses, sheep and swine, grinding and mixing corn, 
oats and other grains satisfactorily. It lias also pi'oduced 
tor my use, oxxr Indian meal, buckwheat meal, and occa¬ 
sionally wheat flour, thus saving the time of teams and 
men, which otherwise must have been occupied, going sev¬ 
eral miles to a distant mill, at much expense; it is therefore 
a source of economy as well as au inducement to better 
care of all stock, it affords also one among other resour¬ 
ces of convenient and useful labor during stormy weather. 
My belief is that your Mill will work its way into general 
use upon farms where stock is raised, and where grist mills 
are uot within a short distance. I 11 my estimation this 
mill is among tlxe most important machines offered to the 
farmer. Resp'y yours, J. Delafiei.d.

his farm for nearly four years.
