ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ASIA- 
The Asia arrived at New York, Nov. 19. 
Liverpool Grain Market.— The market for 
breadstuff's Las been rather lively during the week. 
Wheat has met a ready sale, principally to specu¬ 
lators, at the advance advised per the Atlantic of 
l@2d. per 70 lbs. Flour has also been active at 
the advance of 3@6d per bbl., with the business 
in both equal to the supply. 
In Corn business has been slacker on account 
of limited supplies. 
Flour—Western Canal 23(5)23 6d. Baltimore 
and Philadelphia, 23 6d@24 Ohio, 23@24.— 
Southern, 19 6d@2l. 
Wheat—IT. S. White, 7@7 3d; Red, 6 6d@7s. 
Corn—Yellow, 31(3)32 ; White, 32@32 6d. 
Provisions are generally unchanged. 
England. —The political news is somewhat in¬ 
teresting, though not important. 
Both Houses of Parliament met on the 4th 
inst. The Duke of Northumberland, the Marquis 
of Salisbury and the Earl of Lounsdale, represent¬ 
ed the Queeu in the House of Lords. Hon. Chas. 
Shaw Lefevre, was unanimously re-elected Speak¬ 
er of the Commons. 
France. —We learn that the Senate has had a 
meeting for the purpose of settling the prelimi¬ 
naries tor the establishment of the Empire. 
All that the public know of its results is, that 
ten members voted that the people should be 
consulted in the matter, and M. Fould, Minister 
of State, declared that the Government did not 
oppose the proposition, which was then referred 
to aSpecial committee, which will report on the 
16 th. 
It is stated confidentially, in Paris, that the 
Senators consulted, and will declare the impelial 
crown hereditary with Louis Napoleon and his 
male descendants ; and in the event of his not 
having any male heirs, then in the possession of 
his adopted son. Should the latter die childless, 
then in the possession of the ex-King Jerome and 
his family. 
Victor Hugo and other political refugees, sign¬ 
ing themselves the committee of the democratic 
socialists proscribed of France, at Jersey, met in 
general assembly Oct. 31st, “ warning their breth¬ 
ren in France to abstain from voting the Empire.” 
The King of Sweden is dangerously ill. 
Broom Corn Trade. —The Chicago Tribune 
says the broom trade is more extensive than many 
would imagine ; there being at least from 25 to 
30 millions consumed annually, in the States, be¬ 
sides an immense number exported to all parts of 
the world. Broom corn is raised extensively in 
our own and neighboring States, and is an im¬ 
portant item in the farmer’s crops. Not long ago 
it was selling at $60 per ton, and was considered 
a paying crop at that price; such is the increased 
demand that the present rate is $100 per ton.— 
Hitherto large quantities of broom corn have been 
shipped to the Eastern cities, and after being 
manufactured, have again been re-shipped to the 
West. Now the workmen and the capital have 
come to where the material grows, and the manu¬ 
factured article is consumed. Of course the great 
saving thus effected will be evident to all. 
A Railroad in Broadway.— The Broadway 
Railroad Project has passed the Board of Aider- 
men. The substance of the resolutions adopted 
is : That the parties may build a double track 
road from South Ferry to Fifty-ninth street, the 
extreme space over all the track to be not more 
than 12 feet 6 inches ; the cars and horses not to 
exceed 45 feet in length. The Council is Indirect 
the time and other arrangements for running the 
cars, and the parties are to keep the pavement 
between the rails in repair, sweep all the street 
below Union Park every morning, and the north 
of the said Park twice a week. The fare not to 
exceed five cents. Provision is made for a depot 
of cars near the Park, to accommodate the up¬ 
ward rush of travel at night, and for attendants 
along the line to assist people to and from the 
cars.—A r . Y. Tribune.

The best Rural, Family and General Newspaper /” 
MOORE’S 
RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
VOLUME IV, —FOR 1853. 
Encouraged by the brilliant success which has thus far 
attended the publication of the Rural New-Yorker, we 
are determined to use the essential requisites to more 
than sustain its good character and high reputation. It 
will be our earnest and constant endeavor to render the 
Fourth Volume superior to either of its predecessors— 
exhibiting, continuously, “progress and improvement” 
in both Contents aud Appearance. As our motto is 
Excelsior, we shall strive to keep the Rural in the van— 
thereby maintaining its present standing as the 
LEADING WEEKLY OF ITS CLASS! 
Our location is superior, and facilities abundant; and if 
the numerous friends of the paper who iisve hitherto sec¬ 
onded our efforts, continue their generous exertions in its 
behalf, Western New York shall furnish the best Rural, 
Literary, Family and General Newspaper in America.' 
But we purpose to be brief—to use few large words, and 
no “ palaver ” whatever. Those who read the Rural know 
its value and character, and others are invited to give its 
pages an examination. Each of its various Departments 
shall continue to receive the most careful attention, and 
the entire paper will, as heretofore, embrace a greater va¬ 
riety of Useful, Instructive and Extertainig reading 
than any other in this country. Its high tone and freedom 
from everything injurious to the mind aud morals, renders 
the Rural a safe and desirable companion for the young— 
and one of its special objects is to instruct, entertain and 
improve those who surround the Family Fireside But 
while the greatest care and labor will be bestowed upon 
its Contents, its External Appearance, Illustrations, &c., 
will render the paper increasingly attractive. 
Remember each number embraces the latest and most 
important News, briefly yet definitely stated—including a 
synopsis of prominent events, Congressional Proceedings, 
Reports of the Grain, Provision and Cattle Markets, 
&c., &c.—and that, by the aid of the Telegraph, we are 
enabled to give our readers such intelligence muck earlier 
than the eastern weeklies! In judging of its comparative 
cost, bear in mind that the Rural is not a monthly of 
twelve issues yearly, but a large and beautiful Weekly of 
Fifty-two Numbers!— and that it gives important agri¬ 
cultural intelligence, weeks and even months, in some 
instances, in advance of the monthlies. O?” The postage 
on the Rural New-Yorker within this State is only thir¬ 
teen cents a year, and but twenty-six cents to any part of 
the Union. It circulates free of postage in Monroe county. 
In conclusion we cordially iuvite all who approve its 
character and’ objects—the progressive, moral, right- 
thinking members of community — to lend their kind 
offices in behalf of this Journal. Though our main reli¬ 
ance is upon the merits of the paper itself, we offer in the 
annexed Premium List liberal inducements to all disposed 
to aid in augmenting its circulation.

Thf, American Tract Society. —From a con¬ 
densed statement of the affairs of this Society, 
we learn that about 20 presses and 250 opera¬ 
tives are employed in the manufacturing depart¬ 
ment, with a daily product of about 50,000 pub¬ 
lications. The amount of printed matter in the 
periodical form is equal annually to a million vol¬ 
umes of 200 pages each. The gratutious issues 
of tracts and books ainoimt to more than $15,000 
annually, besides appropriations of $20,000 iu 
cash, for distribution in more than 100 languages 
iu foreign and pagan lands. Tlie number of col¬ 
porteurs in this country, including nearly 100 for 
the foreign emigrant population, is between 400 
and 500. More than $1,000 are required daily to 
meet the earnest demands on the treasury. 
A Plunge. —A correspondent of the Buffalo 
Courier, gives an account of the detaching from 
its bed, the avalanche, and plunge into the river, 
of an immense stone, in the process of the con¬ 
struction of the railroad between the Falls aud 
Lewiston. The mass was judged to weigh 200 
tons; its desceut, 200 feet, was covered with trees, 
which it swept away, “ snapping them like pipe 
stems,” making its plunge into the river, and 
throwing a column of spray and mist a hundred 
feet high. The sun’s rays striking the mist, a 
perfect rainbow capped the climax of the grand 
scene. , 
Railroads in Russia. —The great railroad which 
was built by American engineers between St. Pe¬ 
tersburg and Moscow is 400 miles long, and has a 
double track the whole length. It is substantially 
built, and the trains run at the rate of 30 miles 
[ >er hour. For regularity and speed it perhaps 
las no equal in our country. As in all monarchi¬ 
cal countries, there are cars of different grades for 
the people of different classes. For the first class 
of cars, the price of a ticket for the 400 miles is 
fifteen dollars, for the second class it is teu dollars, 
for the third six dollars. 
Large Estate.— Tlie Troy Post states that 
Hon. Gerritt Smith is possessed at this time, or 
has sold under mortgage, more than a hundred 
thousand acres of the best land iu the counties of 
Onondaga, Cayuga, Madison Oneida, Oswego and 
Seneca, and is unquestionably one of the richest 
men in tlie State. He is anxious to dispose of his 
estate, but noes not sell in large tracts to specula¬ 
tors, prefers ing that worthy men, who will settle 
upon aud improve the land should have it 
Slaves Declared Free.— In the case of the 
eight persons claimed as slaves, in New York 
city, and who were on their way from Virginia 
to Texas, Judge Paine delivered an opinion in the 
Superior Court, to the effect that slaves brought 
into the State of New York, by the voluntary 
act of the owner, become free by the law's of the 
State. He therefore ordered their discharge.

Western Horticultural Review,

Cincinnati, Ohio ,—$3 per annum.

deners and Fruit-growers. Among its contributors it 
numbers many of tlie most distinguished and successful 
Horticulturists in America. 
This Review has entered upon its third Volume; and 
has fully met the high expectations of its friends and sub¬ 
scribers. Eastern admirers of the Garden, the Greenhouse 
and the Grapery are invited to aid in sustaining it by their 
subscriptions and correspondence.

POTATOES.—THE WHITE MERCER. 
/X/A/A DARRELS of the White Mercer (seedling) Po- 
*-) G V * tato, are now ottered for sale by the subscriber. 
This remarkable white potato is of almost unparalleled 
productiveness—of beautiful shape—its proportion much 
like the long pink eye, being a little more flattened. 
This potato was obtained by the subscriber from the seed 
of the common Mercer, nine or ten years since. It received 
the first premium from tlie N. Y. State Agricultural Society 
and a Diploma was awarded for the same by tlie Monroe 
Co. Agricultural Society. Since this period the White 
Mercer has attained in Irondeqoit, increased popularity 
with farmers and gardeners—to so great an extent that 
from 8oO to 900 acres were planted in that town, the past 
season, the product of which has been astouisliingly abun¬ 
dant—yielding from 150 to 400 bu. per acre, as I have been 
credibly informed. Tbe yield of my own crop, planted 
mostly among fruit trees, gave 200 bu. of fine potatoes per 
acre. Those who have hitherto iiad hut a scanty supply of 
the article on account of tbe rot, or from any other cause, 
may, by obtaining a barrel or two of White Mercers, grow 
them in great abundance. 
The White Mercer is very white outside and in, mealy, 
of good flavor, and longer keeping than any other potato 
with which I am acquainted. It is a late grower, requiring 
early planting, and is less subject to rot than any other po¬ 
tato known in these parts. 
Price $2 per barrel, shipped to any part of the United 
States. Orders will be received through tlie Rochester P. 
O. till the stock of potatoes are exhausted, after which no¬ 
tice will be given, and all moneys returned promptly if the 
potatoes are not forwarded. H N. LANG WORTHY.

REAPER AN 15 MOAV Eli. 
First Premium Machine for 1853. 
A WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and tbe 
second for Reaping, at the N. Y. State Fair, in the great 
trial at Geneva, N. Y., in July, in competition with eleven 
other machines; awarded a Silver Medal at the Ohio State 
Fair, for the best Reaper and Mower, and received the 
highest award at the Vermont and Michigan State Fairs, 
for the best Reaping and Mowing Machine. 
The true merit of this Machine has given it a great tri¬ 
umph over all others, and being a perfect combination of 
Reaper and Mower, it comes to the farmer with double 
value, and it is clearly demonstrated to be the only success¬ 
ful combination of Reaper and Mower. As a Mower, it is 
as simple and perfect as though constructed expressly for 
mowing; and as a Reaper, it is as simple and perfect as if 
constructed for reaping only. All the change that is neces¬ 
sary from one plan to the other, is to insert or remove a 
loose platform. 
Machines warranted to cut all kinds of grain as well as 
can be cut with a scythe, and to cut flax and millet, also to 
gather clover, timothy and flax seed, and to be well built 
and of good materials. This machine will cut from ten to 
fifteen acres per day, with two horses, and one person to 
tend it when mowing, and two persons when reaping. The 
cutting apparatus is made perfect by means of a double 
edged sickle, and double guards, as fully tested tlie last two 
years, and it is connected with a joint., so ns to adjust itself 
to uneven ground, aiul by a level at the driver’s seat, it can 
be raised when moving along, to cut from one inch to two 
feet from tlie ground. All side draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. The machine will turn square corners, 
and turn square about, either way. Over three hundred 
of these machines were in use the past season, all of which 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
The machines are manufactured at Hnosick Falls for the 
State of New York, and I will have them delivered to any 
part of Western New York where ordered. Trice of ma- 
chine, where made, $125. Address Gen. R. Harmon,

Important to Farmers! 
POR'FAELE MI EE. 
Oakland, near Geneva, N. Y., 28 Aug., 1852. 
Mr. Charles Ross, —Dear Sir :—In reply to your letter 
of the 25th inst., it is a pleasure to speak in commendation 
of your Patent Conical Mill. To me it has proved valuable 
for grinding food for my stock, as a few hours labor with 
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 has also produced 
for my use, our Indian meal, buckwheat meal, and occa¬ 
sionally wheat flour, thus saving the time of teams and 
men, w hich 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 an 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 not within a short distance. In my estimation this 
mill is among the most important maciiines offered to the 
farmer. Resp’y yours, J. UelafiEld. 
N. B.—Mr. Delafield has had the Conical Mill in use on 
his farm for nearly four years.
