By the Pension Office Report, it appears 
that the whole number of Pensions in the United 
States is 18,868, which is less by 743 than one 
year ago. About $1,500,000 have been expended 
on account of pensious during the year. 
Twenty millions of dollars are now paid 
annually, by the United States to Cuba for her 
productions, and of this, only about six millions 
are paid for in the produce of this country and 
goods ; the balance is paid for in specie and bills 
on London. 
The Military post at Fort Leavenworth is 
to be broken up and converted into a depot of 
supplies for the new post which is to be located 
about 150 miles west of it, on the Republican 
Fork of the Kanzas river, at the point where tiie 
routes to Oregon and New Mexico separate. 
ZW° Oneof the tunnels through the Alleganier* 
now constructing on the line of the Pennsylvania 
Railroad, is to be 3,570 feet in length. Its area, 
at the widest space within the lines of the ma¬ 
sonry, will be about 24 feet, aud the spring of the 
arch will begin 16 feet from the crown of the 
arch. About 400 men are employed upon it. 
Wasteful Procuring of Gutta Pkrcha. —In 
1845 Great Britain imported only 20,000 lbs., but 
in 1848 the quautity brought amounted to 3.000,- 
000 lbs., since which time it has constantly in¬ 
creased, and, if it can be had, will continue to 
increase. The mode of obtaining gutta percha is 
most wasteful; instead of tapping the tree at in¬ 
tervals to obtain the sap, the- trees are cut down, 
so that, unless their artificial cultivation be taken 
up by civilized people, the supply will soon be 
shortened. Dr. Oxley, who wrote in Singapore, 
whence all that we get at present comes, says, that 
for the quantity which was exported between 
January 1st, 1845, and July, 1847. nearly 70,000 
trees must have beeu destroyed .—English paper.

ARRIVAL OF THE NIAGARA. 
The Niagara was at Halifax on the 11th inst. 
Markets. —Breadstrfis firmer and advancing.— 
Western flour 25s@25jris. Yellow corn 31s 6d

France. —The vote for the Empire was cast on 
the 21st and 22d of November. Both public and 
private accounts agree that the ceremony was con¬ 
ducted decorously, but without show of enthusi¬ 
asm. From t he pains taken to bring up the voters, 
the returns will exhibit a large majority, greater, 
probably, than on any previous appeal to the peo¬ 
ple. 
By telegraph, we learn that up to the morning 
of the 27th, the latest returns, including 83 de¬ 
partments and the army and navy, were :— Yes, 
7,200,000 ; No, 250,000. 
It is said the Emperor will address one mani¬ 
festo to France and another to Europe. Both, we 
are told, will be essentially pacific. 
The President has sent already an official mes¬ 
sage to the Legislative body, stating that the Gov¬ 
ernment will undergo a change merely in name. 
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER ILLINOIS. 
Gold by the Ton, Without Owners!— The 
correspondent of the London Times, writing from 
Melbourne, Australia, says :—“ One circumstance 
is not, perhaps, altogether undeserving of notice. 
1 here is now at Melbourne, a large quantity of 
gold, which was sent from the diggings by escort, 
and which has never been claimed. The amount 
is stated at eight tons, and those eight tons of 
gold are watched and warded by a corporal and 
five men.” 
The steamship Illinois, with the California 
mails of the 10th ult., and 540 passengers, arrived 
at New York, Dec. 12th. 
She brings on freight $2,139,4G0 in gold and 
$400,000 in the hands of passengers. 
The Illinois sailed from Aspimvall on the even¬ 
ing ot the 2d, making the entire trip through from 
San Francisco in 26 days. 
Her dates from Panama are to Dec. 1st. 
The rainy season on the Isthmus had closed. 
The total number of buildings burned iii Sac¬ 
ramento was two thousand five hundred Eight 
or ten lives were also lost. Within nine days pre¬ 
vious to the sailing of the steamer, three hundred 
and fifty houses had been rebuilt and hundreds of 
others were rapidly going up. 
The contributions from the towns in the vicini¬ 
ty, in aid of the sufferers, were liberal. San Fran¬ 
cisco alone subscribed $30,000. 
The fire at Marysville consumed one entire 
block, involving a loss of $100,000. 
The Presidential election passed off with spirit. 
About 70,000 votes were polled. Pierce’s ma¬ 
jority is between 4,000 and 5,000. 
The entire Democratic State and Congressional 
ticket had also been elected by a reduced majority. 
The rainy season has set in with copious show¬ 
ers. The miners are doing well. The dry dig¬ 
gings were expected to yield rich returns. 
The Uidian war on the Colorado has ceased, 
and a treaty of peace is secured. 
The emigrants were arriving in good health, 
and reported little trouble from the Indians. 
I lie line of telegraph between San Francisco 
aud Marysville lias been commenced, and a com¬ 
pany lias been organized for the construction of a 
railroad between Benicia and Marysville. 
Rev. Jos. Harrington, of Roxbury, Mass., died 
recently in San Francisco. 
Increase of German Emigration. —There has 
been a large and steady increase of German emi¬ 
gration, for the last quarter of a century. Accord¬ 
ing to the St. Louis Republican, in 1822, it num¬ 
bered only 2,200 ; until '1830 there was but one 
season when it amounted to 15,000. In 1832 it 
rose to 24,000 ; in 1837, to 33,000, but fell in 1843 
to 23,000 : the number then of persons who, du¬ 
ring the decade closing with the year, went be¬ 
yond seas in search of a better fortune averaged 
about 19,000 annually. From that time forth there 
has been a rapid increase in the extent of the emi¬ 
gration. Iu 1844, Germany sent out in round 
numbers 44,000 emigrants; iu 1845, 67,000: in 
1846 and ’47, the same year, more than 106,000 ; 
in 1848, ’49 and ’50, the year of the revolutionary 
disturbance and political proscription, from 80,000 
to 90,000 ; in 1851 something more than 113,000! 
It is calculated that these emigrants have carried 
out of Germany capital to the value of $30,000,000. 
cW One of the largest and probably most 
pleasant family gatherings in Maine, took place 
in the village of Hampden, at the home of Ben¬ 
jamin Sweet, on Thanksgiving Day, when forty- 
six persons sat down to dinner. There were pres¬ 
ent the father, aged eighty-three years—all his 
sons and daughters, seven of the former and six 
of the latter, twelve of whom are married and 
had their wives aud husbands with them—fifteen 
grand children, and two great grand children. A 
clergyman and his wife and a neighbor completed 
the list. They all formed about the old hearth¬ 
stone, and received the old man’s blessing. The 
cradle in which die thirteen were all rocked, was 
brought forth, and the whole scene, was most im¬ 
pressive and joyous. 
1^° The Zanesville (Ohio) Gazette records the 
discovery on the liue of the Central Ohio Railroad, 
in the eastern portion of that city, of the remains 
of a Mastodon, or fossil elephant, apparentlv 
double the size of the Asiatic elephant. The rno'- 
lar teeth were sound and unbroken, and the two 
largest weighed twenty pouuds each. 
1 he Clothing Trade. —The Herald learns that 
a new firm will commence in this business on the 
first of January next, with a cash capital of $200,- 
000. Several firms having made fortunes in this 
tiade, induces others to embark in it. One firm 
have added $70,000 to their property this vear. 
Pasture. —We learn that very few farmers have 
commenced feeding their stock. A subscriber 
living in Pleasant Valley, informs us that a cow 
kept by him at a pasture, continues to yield her 
usual quantity of milk. Last year farmers fod¬ 
dered their stock in October.— Po’kecpsie Am.

Telegraph in India. —On the lelegraph lines 
constructing in British India,instead of suspended 
wires, rods are placed under ground in a cement 
of rosin and sand. In crossing a river over 5,000 
feet wide, the rods are enclosed in gutta percha.

Rochester, December 15, 1852. > 
The weather has been inauspicious for out-door busi¬ 
ness, which with bad roads, renders our streets rather dull. 
The canal has not yet closed, though boatmen and forward¬ 
ers have nearly closed business for the season. Everything 
wears a healthy appearance, indicating a prosperous winter 
for all well conducted business operations. An abundance 
of money may induce that bane of legitimate business— 
speculation. 
Flour.—T his staple remains firm. Sales at $4,73@5. 
Grain.—T he market for the season has nearly closed.— 
The little wheat offering is taken at prices above the mar¬ 
ket value, chiefly for winter retail trade. As large as SI,09 
has been paid. Oats are firm at 40c and upwards. Corn 
in demand at former rates. 
Provisions.—T he market is active. Dressed Hogs sell 
readily at S6,75@7, and for very choice ashade more. Beef 
commands ready sales, though not as high proportionably 
as pork. Mutton carcases are iu better demand, and will 
soon be scarce and high. Hams, shoulders, leaf and tried 
lard are commanding high prices. At the West pork 
rules very high, bringing at Louisville and Cincinnati §6 
from the hook. The supply is good, but the opening of 
large markets in the gold regions renders the demand more 
brisk than usual. 
In other articles little change, the price fluctuating more 
in consequence of supply and demand than from any steady 
rise or decline.

Important to Farmers! 
PORTABLE MILL. 
[From the Ohio Farmer, December 2,1S52.] 
T ) OSS’ Improved Patent Conical Burr Mill Stones.— 
V Our readers will many of them remember that Ross’ 
Portable Burr Stone Mill took the First Premium at the 
Annual State Fair, held iu this city a few weeks since.— 
This admirable invention must commend itself to every¬ 
one who has witnessed its operation. In the first place it 
is easily portable, simple in structure, does not easily get 
out of order, and does its work with great rapidity and 
perfection. It may be used for grinding the coarsest food 
for cattle, or the finest meal for family use. It is also well 
adapted for grinding wheat, rye or buckwheat. It is indeed 
a perfect grist mill in miniature, and we would advise eve¬ 
ry farmer, if possible, to procure one. The expense of 
one of these mills, with the apparatus for horse power, 
can not be very great; or a number of farmers might club 
together and procure one, which would be sufficient for all. 
Mr. Ross is, we believe, a resident of Rochester, N. Y. 
N. B.—Any further information relative to the Conical 
Mill can he obtaiued by letter, post-paid, or by calling at 
the factory of CHARLES ROSS,

TO POST-MASTERS AND OTHERS.

To Editors, and. our Exchanges. 
Our exchange and free list is already so large and expen¬ 
sive, that we are obliged to decline complying with many 
requests to exchange. We desire to accommodate all, yet 
cannot ahord to send the Rural to the political and other 
journals not in our line, without some return,—and hence 
make our friends this proposition : Editors who give the 
annexed brief Prospectus one or two insertions—directing 
attention to the same editorallv, and sending us a marked 
copy of paper—shall bo entitled to the Rural for one year, 
(1853,) without an exchange. £.fr’ Those Editors who 
now receive the Rural and wisli it continued in exchange 
for their papers, have only to give an editorial notice, em¬ 
bracing the substance of our prospectus, terms, &c.,—or 
they can publish as above, and not send theirs in return.

REAPER AXQ MOWER.. 
First Premium Machine for 1S53. 
1 WARDED the First Premium for Mowing and the 
J Y 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 ail others, aud 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 ns 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 the last two 
years, and it is connected with a joint, so as to adjust itself 
to uneven ground, and by a level at the driver’s seat, it can 
he raised when moving along, to cut f om one inch to two 
feet from the ground. All side draft against the team is 
entirely avoided. The machine will turn square corners, 
and turn square about, either way. Over tliree hundred 
of these machines were in use the past season, all of which 
gave perfect satisfaction. 
The machines are manufactured at Hoosick Falls for the 
State of New York, and I will have them delivered to any 
part of Western New York where ordered. Price of ma¬ 
chine. where made, 8125. Address Gen. R. Harmon,
