MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
|fomp fntcHijjrocc. 
Arrival of the Africa. 
The Africa, from Liverpool on the 26th ult, ar¬ 
rived at New York on the 8th inst 
Great Britain. —Parliamentary proceedings un¬ 
important. Government was gaining large major¬ 
ities during the progress of the new Indian biiL 
The Lord Mayor of London had given an enter¬ 
tainment to the Ministry, at which the Lord Chan¬ 
cellor of the Exchequer made a political speech. 
In alluding to the American difficulties, D’Israeli 
said:—“I may perhaps advert to circumstances 
which have cast a transient cloud, but a light one, 
I hope, upon the relations which exist between us 
and the United States, united as we are, by the ties 
of common descent, language, similar laws, and 
free institutions. Any misunderstanding between 
us is a matter to be deeply deplored. The United 
States have evinced their identity of a race with 
us, by the sensitive jealousy, which they exhibited 
in favor of their national rights, but I trust that the 
representations which have been made by my ex¬ 
cellent friend, the Minister from the United States, 
and the mode in which they hav^ been met by 
Lord Malmesbury, will very soon restore those feel¬ 
ings of complete amity, which have been ruffled by 
this trifling difference.” 
The returns of the British Board of Trade for 
May, show a falling off of upward of £1,100,000 as 
compared with the same month last year. There 
had, however, been a large increase of imports of 
all kinds of breadstuffs. 
The pestilential condition of the river Thames 
was the common topic in London. The two Houses 
of Parliament were so much affected by it as to im¬ 
pair the health of members. 
France.— Prince Napoleon is constituted Minis¬ 
ter to Algeria, and remains at home. 
It is denied that Felix Belly occupied any diplo¬ 
matic position in his intercourse with Nicaragua. 
It was simply commercial. 
The debates in the British Parliament on the 
French free labor scheme, excited indignation in 
France. 
Spain.— Advices from Spain state that the Mex¬ 
ican Minister had received dispatches from the 
Constitutionalist Government of Juarez, approving 
his refusal to acknowledge the temporary Govern¬ 
ment of Zuloaga, and requesting him to renew his 
protest against all conventions concluded by Spain 
with the Zuloaga Government. Mr. Lafragres had 
in consequence dispatched a note of the Mexican 
representatives to European powers. 
It is reported that Spain has applied to France 
for support against British pressure in the matter 
of the slave trade. 
Italy.— Shocks.'of earthquakes continued at Na- 
pies. A tremendous hurricane had also occurred 
at Salo. Fifty houses were demolished, and many 
people killed; also, several villages destroyed by a 
deluge of rain. 
India.— Calcutta dates are to the 18th. Shah 
Jehanpore had been relieved, but was subsequently 
threatened by Nena Sahib, but he was repulsed.— 
Lucknow was threatened by 20,000 men under the 
Begum, during Gen. Grant’s absence. Colin Camp¬ 
bell had crossed the Ganges. The troops at Luck¬ 
now were unhealthy, and the garrison reduced to 
2,000 infantry. Homan Singh had crossed the 
Ganges, and menaced the Bombay route. The 
rebels had commenced an attack upon Sudgpore 
and troops were hastening to its relief. A conspi¬ 
racy had been developed in the 4th native infantry 
in the PuDjaub, and the ringleaders hung. The 
Rajah of Shumba, on the Hyderbad, had rebelled. 
Several skirmishes are reported. 
Letters from Beyrout, Syria, mention outrages 
by Priests upon an American Missionary named 
Dodd. The American Consul was seeking redress.

Havre and Southampton, passed Cape Race on the 
9th. She was intercepted by the news yacht of the 
New York Associated Press, which arrived at St. 
Johns, N. F., on the 10th inst, with a summary of 
her news. 
Great Britain. —A calamitous fire had occurred 
in the London Dock, doing damage to the extent 
of £150,000. 
The Queen had paid a visit to the Leviathan. 
More steamers are to be put on the route between 
Galway and America. 
Dr. Livingston’s arrival at the Cape of Good 
Hope is reported. 
A proposition had been made to send clergymen 
to Parliament

wonderful exploits before the Queen. 
France. —It was rumored that Admiral Slanne- 
dian will resign the Marine Department which de¬ 
volves on Prince Napolean, Minister of Algiers and 
the Colonies. 
The transformation of sailing ships into steam¬ 
ers was going on with much activity. 
Spain—Is much incensed against England on the 
slave question. 
India. —Important news from India had been re¬ 
ceived in England, via. telegraph, from Malta. Sir 
Hugh Rose had captured Calpee, after having 
twice ineffectually attacked the rebels. Rapid 
pursuit was made after the enemy, resulting in the 
capture of a large amount of stores, guns, gun¬ 
powder, elephants and ammunition. Serious dis¬ 
turbances had occurred in the Bolkay Presidency, 
where a political agent and escort had been mur¬ 
dered by a band of rebels. Fort Cotal had been 
taken by assault. New Goond had also been storm¬ 
ed and taken. The Nizains country was much dis¬ 
turbed by ArabB and Rohillas. 
Sir Colin Campbell had driven the rebels back 
from Shabjehanpore, and captured Molunde. Oude 
was still in a state of rebellion. The rebels were 
approaching Lucknow, but the city was fully de¬ 
fended and garrisoned, and no alarm was felt for 
its safety. Sir E. Lyard had defeated the rebels at 
Ingdespore, killing great numbers of them.— 
Gwalior had been attacked and plundered by the 
enemy. 
Commercial Intelligence. 
Breadstuffs. —The weather continues favorable for the 
crops. Flour steady at prices unchanged as compared 
with those of the 2d inst. Wheat firm with an advance 
of Id on red. Red is quoted at 5B4d@6s. White Gs@7s. 
Corn dull. Yellow 34s. White 32s6@33s. 
Provisions. —Pork steady. Lard inactive. Quotations 
nominally, 54s@54s6d. 
Great Mortality on Shipboard. —The ship 
Groton, bound to London, from Havana, was taken 
in tow off the Long Island shore at Fire Island, on 
the Cth inst., and carried to New York. When 
boarded, the captain’s wife was at the helm, and 
with the exception of herself, husband, and two 
seamen, all had died of yellow fever. One hour 
after the vessel had been taken in tow, the cap¬ 
tain died—thus leaving his wife and two men only 
surviving. 
Political.— On the 24th ult, the Democracy of 
Iowa nominated the following ticket for State offi¬ 
cers:— Govemoi —Samuel Douglas; Auditor —T. S. 
Parvin; Treasurer —Samuel H. Loran; Attorney- 
General —James M. Ellwood; Register of State 
Land Office —J. M. Reid; Commissioner Des Moines 
Improvement —Charles Baldwin. 
The Vermont Democratic Convention assembled 
at Bellows Falls on the 8th inst, and nominated 
Henry Keyes for Governor; Wylis Lyman for Lieut 
Governor, and J. T. Thurston for State Treasurer. 
The New York Republican State Committee, met 
in Albany on the 8th inst On motion of De Witt 
C. Littlejohn, a resolution was adopted, calling a 
convention of two delegates from each district, to 
meet at Syracnse September 8th. 
Sudden Death of Herman C. Gilbert. —Mr 
Gilbert, Commercial Editor of the Commercial Ad¬ 
vertiser of Buffalo, met with a very sudden and ter¬ 
rible death on 9th inst Some workmen were en¬ 
gaged in removing a platform in front of No. 14 
Central Wharf, when Mr. Gilbert, happening to 
pass at the moment on his round of duty, seeing 
that they were short of help, undertook to assist 
them. The platform fell in a direction not expect¬ 
ed, and a heavy timber struck him upon the head, 
and bore him down to the surface of the wharf, in¬ 
stantly crushing out his brains and causing his 
death. So sudden was his death that the grasp of 
the note-book he held in his left hand was not re¬ 
laxed. He died, as newspaper men frequently do, 
in the harness, and without a moment’s warning. 
Yellow Fever at Quarantine. —The New York 
Times, of the 7th inst., says the arrival, within a few 
days past of several vessels from Cuban ports, with 
their whole crews sick with yellow fever, and of 
others which have lost a large portion of their 
number by this disease at sea, has awakened con¬ 
siderable anxiety in the public mind, and has fur¬ 
nished the health officer with fresh arguments for 
the rigid enforcement of thAvuarantine regula¬ 
tions for protecting the health of the port. The 
Times gives a list of several vessels which have 
suffered greatly. On their arrival at New York 
they are sent down to the Lower Bay to avoid dan¬ 
ger to the city. 
The Indian War in Oregon. —The news of Col. 
Steptoe’s defeat is not doubted by the War Depart¬ 
ment, and Governor Floyd awaits in painful anxiety 
the next arrival from the Pacific. The tempo¬ 
rary success of the Indians may embolden them to 
attack the settlements, and should they do so, they 
have strength enough to drench the country in 
blood, skilled as they are in the use of the deadly 
rifles, with which they are well supplied. Should 
a general slaughter of the people take place, a fear¬ 
ful responsibility will rest upon the United States 
Senate, before which body treaties with these In¬ 
dians have been pending for three years, and are 
yet undisposed of.

Missourians. 
A Team of Pigs. — Gov. Camming testifies to

The Wool Markets. 
BOSTON, July 7.—Floeco and Pulled Wools are firm and in fair 
demand at full prices, with sales of 125,000 lbs at tho quoted rates.— 
In the country there lias been considerable excitement, and prices 
now rule comparatively higher in the principal Wool districts than 
with us. In foreign, sales of 500 bales Chilian and Syrian at full 
prices:

NEW YORK, July 7.—There is an active demand, tioth from man¬ 
ufacturers and dealers, but the scene of operations has been in the 
wool-growing districts chiefly, and the result is quite unexpected; a 
rapid advance lias taken place in several localities. In this State tho 
range for medium to fine Fleeces has been from 28(5/37>£c. but 40c 
has been paid for some choice parcels. In Ohio prices range from 
28@!2e, and in Pennsylvania 30®45c—in some instances as high as 
48(5)50c lias been paid for full-blooded Merino, hut some inferior 
Wools, of course, sell down as low as 22(5)25e. If tho wiso men on 
tho seaboard waited ’till the Wool came forward no such prices could 
lie realized, but when they go into tile country to buy before it is shorn 
off the sheep’s back, competition among themselves, ns a natural 
sfiln’formiwio mlceptioil lo ilm geoe^aV < /u!if‘ t:tf J 
ginning to come forward In larger quantities, and choice Stale lleeces 
command 37Ii(ti)10c. The stock of old Fleece and Pulled Wools 
here is quite small in fact tho market Is cleared of choice parcels; 
but we understand that there is a good deal of it still held for higher 
prices in the interior of this and adjacent States, while oilier parcels 
are held on mortgage, and, therefore, unavailable. California con¬ 
tinues in fair request, witli further sales of 15,000 lbs at 15(« 21c, and 
30c for a choico parcel of Pulled. Foreign Is iu good supply, partlc- | 
ularly the low grades, which are at present neglected almost, and in 
the absence of important transactions prices are nearly nominal. In 
Boston, however, a good demand prevails, and sales of some 400(a) 
5U0 bales Mediterranean nnd Chilian Wools have been effected at 
prices within the range of quotations there.— N. Y. Tribune. 
PHILADELPHIA— 1 The Inquirer says, “supplies are coming 
forward more freely, and the manufacturers are purchasing only to a 
limited extent. Sales of Western ut 33(5) 12c 51 lb, for common to

KIRBY’S AMERICAN HARVESTER, 
A Combined Mowing and Reaping Machine. 
riUIK MANUFACTURERS take pleasure in presenting this ma- 
L chine to tho attention of fanners, and others interested, for the 
Harvest of 1858. Though but partially introduced, it 1ms mot with a 
success beyond their expectation. 
It was patented in 1856, and only seven machines made in that 
year, which were put iu the hands of experienced, practical farmers 
and thoroughly tested. Such was the measure of their success, ns to 
induce the Buffalo Agricultural Machine Works to engage 
largely in their manufacture, under the immediate supervision of the 
Inventor. 
In 1857 two hundred were made nnd sold to practical men, every¬ 
where giving unqualified satisfaction, demonstrating them to be the 
“ bell combined machine in use ,"— answering equally well as a Mower 
or Reaper, and working satisfactorily in rough or smooth, in wet or dry 
fields, as in standing or lodged grass or grain. It has proved itself to 
be tlie most simple, durable, and efficient machine before the public. 
For lightness of draft it lias no equal, and such is the perfect adjust¬ 
ment of tho seats, oflioth driver ami raker, that tlie pole does not bear 
on tlie neck of tlie team, and tho machine has no side draft

441 No. 189 Broadway, New York. 
I N order to advance tho interests of Agricnltnre more effectually 
than I can by spending money in attending public trials, which 
often are very unsatisfactory to the public, I offer the following 
premiums: 
1st.—ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS 
To file farmer who shall cut file greatest number of acres of grass nnd 
grain, in the shortest time, in the best manner, and with the least ex¬ 
pense, witli Ketchuin’s Combined Machine, manufactured this year, 
during the ensuing harvest. 
2d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To tha farmer who shall cut with any Ketchum Combined Machine, 
not less than fifty acres of grass and fifty acres of grain in like manner. 
3d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall ent one hundred acres of grass, with any 
Ketchum Mower, in like manner. 
4th.—FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the fanner, who shall cut fifty acres of gruss, iu like manner, with 
any Ketchum Mower. 
5th.—TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS 
To the fanner, who shall harvest twenty acres of clover seed, with any 
Ketchum Machine, in like manner. 
The grass must yield not less than ono and a half tons to the acre. 
The said work to tie done with machines manujactured by the sub¬ 
scriber, at Buffalo, N. Y. 
Fanne* competing for the above premiums shall forward an affida¬ 
vit or affidavits, setting forth tlie facts, viz: tlie kind of land, crop luid 
amount thereof per acre, file quality of work, length of stubble, time 
occupied, giving file hours, and tho expense incurred for labor or re¬ 
pairs, stating each item and such other circumstances ns Bitty be 
proper, together with tlie number of file machine and the year pur¬ 
chased, to T. G. Retehs, of Darien, Gen. Go., N. Y, before file 1st of 
September next, who shall have tlie privilege of making or having 
a personal examination made, or may require additional proof before 
making his award. 
I will furnish Wanks for affidavits to any person, and reserve the 
privilege of puWishing any of tlie statements and tho awards in my 
next circular. Two premiums shall not be awarded to tlie same person. 
The result of accurate trials of this kind, will enable the public to 
judge with more certainty of the value of Reaping and Mowing Ma¬ 
chines compared witli tlie scyfiio and cradle, than can be done at trials 
as usually conducted, for the reason that so small a quantity of either 
grass or grain is cut, tliat it is difficult for Committees to judge with 
scrupulous accuracy of the features and capacity of tlie different ma¬ 
chines. K. L. HOWARD,

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
As an Agricultural and Family Newspaper, tho Rural lias no 
equal in tho United States.— Economist, Markham, C. IK 
If you want to subscribe for a No. 1 Agricultural, Literary and 
Family Newspaper, we would suggest Uio Rural New-Yorker. — 
linn. Jlecordcr. 
Moore’s Rural is tho best weekly paper for llio farmer's family 
that we know oil Its great success is evidence tliat roid merit is ap¬ 
preciated at tlie firesides of our farmer's homes.— Blade, Toledo, U. 
We can say, witli truth, that the Rural is tlie best weekly paper 
devoted to agriculture, there is published—and is a paper that every 
farmer hi tlie cotmtiy should have in Iris family.— (Jaz., Itochester, I ml. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is perfect hi all respects. It is 
worth a hundred dollars a year to any fanner, and we rejoice to say 
that Us circulation is rapidly increasing in this part of Michigan.— 
Enquirer, Silts, Mich 
“ Excelsior” is tlie very appropriate motio of the Rural ; it is de¬ 
voted to Agriculture, Horticulture, Mechanic Arts, Science, Litera¬ 
ture, Education and News, and we cheerfully recommend it to our 
friends— Bepublican, Grenada, Miss. 
Moore’s Rural is tlie largest and neatest wcokly Agricultural pa¬ 
per published in the United States, and we unhesitatingly pronounce 
it tlie best It lias had a flourishing existence of several years, and 
has reaped a rich harvest of praises.— Hem., Bowling Green, Bid. 
We ciui always speak a good word for Moore’s Rural New- 
Yorker. It is doing no injustice to any of its agricultural contempo¬ 
raries to say it leads them all iu real merit Since die 1st inst it lias 
donned a new dress, luai is now a model hi its typographical appear¬ 
ance.— Central Independent, Utica. 
As a family paper we think tlie Rural has no superior. Its mo- 
chanieal execution is veiy line and its contents are better yet It is a 
paper for the. fireside—for tlie evening circle. It has thought and fact 
lor men and women, and Instruction and amusement for hoys and 
girls.— Journal, River Balls, Wis. 
The New-Yorker makes no pretension to furnish the largest 
amount of matter for the least price, buff what is far better and really 
cheaper, it excels in quality and value, and is worth liir more than its 
cost to any one cultivating an acre of ground.— Democrat, Chester, 111. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is becoming, wo should say, is ono 
of Uie favorites of die country. We claim tor it tho best family paper 
published. It is so well known that we need not attempt to deserilH! it 
Try it for ono year and you will never do without it—Ml. Pleasant 
Advertiser, Iowa. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker.—L ot tlie reading of such papers 
as the Rural lie diffused among tlie young, and it will huve a whole¬ 
some and beneficial influence upon them—they will bo less likely to 
fail of becoming intelligent and useful members of society.— Sentinel, 
Morrison, 111. 
There is no paper better adapted to ttie wants of tho farmer than 
tlie Kukal. While it teaches him practical lessons iu his profession, 
it brings him all the latest news, with a variety of Literature, mid dl- 
Bulielin, Camden fails, Min. llr. 
Among the Agricultural, Literary and Family Newspapers, of tho 
country, none ranks higher than the Rural New-Yorker. It is just 
what it professes to he, the leading paper of its kind in the Union, and 
no family who once becomes acquainted with it, knows how to spare 
its visits afterward.— Journal, Freeport, 111. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorkf.r is decidedly the paper for the mil¬ 
lion. It has no rival at any farmer's fire-side where it has once been 
introduced ; and those who do not read it, (if any such there are,) may 
safely be set down as behind the times. For tlie rural cot it lues no 
rival—for file palace of wealth oml refinement, no superior exists to 
crowd it out— Attica Allas. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker.—W e recommend every ono de¬ 
sirous of having a good Family and Agricultural paper, to get this 
journal, which is by far the best wo have ever seen. It Is a large, ad¬ 
mirably got up, and reliable journal in all that pertains to Agriculture 
and Domestic Economy, and gives withal, a good synopsis of general 
news.—Owen Sound Times, C. \V. 
The Rural New-Yorker, tliat paragon of Agricultural Journals, 
lias been received. It isn't worth while for a one-horse country editor 
to attempt a word of praise in its favor ; but, like tlie Irishman, who 
exclaimed when convinced of his error by his opponent in debate, we 
say, " wid conscious Inferiority, I submit to your superior judgment 
and stand thru paces back.”— J’hasnix, Richvlcw, IU. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorkf.r begins tho new year with a spark¬ 
ling new dress, in which the faultless taste of the editor and proprietor 
is exhibited. The matter contained in the first two numbers is worthy 
of its handsome setting. Maury, Peters, Prof. Dewey, T. S. Arthur, 
Mrs. Holmes, and many ottier literary stars,contribute to file making up 
of an excellent agricultural and family weekly.— Roch. Bern. A Am. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker— Tin's truly national work on Ag¬ 
riculture, Literature and various other useful readings, is out in a new 
dress and with Increased attractions liir 1858 This is the leading work 
of fia: kind in tlie United States, and richly merits a wide-spread cir¬ 
culation. Its value to file agricultural, horticultural and mechanical 
classes cannot bo estimated by file price asked for it— Star, Somer¬ 
ville, Tam. 
Moore's Rural New-Yorker— It is witli pleasure that wo call 
attention to this valuable weekly paper. It Is none of your milk and 
water weeklies full of sickening nonsense, but a paper full of original 
and practical articles, which will instruct, elevate and amuse the i>eo- 
ple. As an Agricultural journal it is tlie best in the world, and wo 
advise all our people who want a paper, well worth double the sub¬ 
scription price, to subscribe for file Rural New-Yokkxu.— Weekly 
Slur, Morgantown, Va. 
The Rural New-Yorker.— This elegant Agricultural, Literary 
and Family Journal, continues to maintain its reputation as one of tlie 
very liest periodicals in file Union. Every number is rich in articles 
upon Agricultural, Horticultural ami Scientific, Mechanical, Literary 
and News matter, interspersed with appropriate and beautiful en¬ 
gravings. It is honest, independent, reliable, and discriminating, 
correct in its teachings, instructive and entertaining to members of 
tlie family circle, of a high moral tone, and entirely lice from decep¬ 
tion and quackery.— Gazelle, Columbus, Ohio. 
With tho present year commenced the ninth volume of Moore's 
Rural New-Yorker, tlie leading publication of Its class in the world 
The Rural has obtained an immense circulation, and continues to re¬ 
tain its old friends while it is constantly making new ones in every 
quarter of country where it circulates. It is a peculiar paper, made 
up mentally and mechanically, regardless of expense, to suit tlie views 
ol'its conductor, who seems to have learned Just what a large portion 
of our population require in the shape of a family newspaper. It is 
iui able, high-toned, moral and instructive family newspaper, which 
can Is; read with profit by alL The illustrations of file Rural have 
become a prominent feature, and tlie engravings which are designed 
to illustrate the practical matters upon which it trouts, arc very bo 
coining.— Rochester Daily Union and Advertiser 
As an Advertising Medium, Moore’s Rural New- 
Yorker possesses very superior advantages—its ACTUAL 
circulation being at least double tliat of any similar jour¬ 
nal which advertises, and full 10,000 to 15,000 greater than 
that of any other paper published in this State or section 
of the Union, (out of N. Y. City. > Its immense circulation 
among the best portion of the Rural Population, renders 
it incomparably the Best and Cheapest Medium of reach¬ 
ing, at once, tens of thousands of the most enterprising 
and progressive Farmers, Horticulturists, &c., in tho land. 
It is, therefore, the channel for the Cards and Announce¬ 
ments of Dealers in Agricultural Implements and Ma¬ 
chinery, Seeds, Fertilizers, &c., — Nurserymen and 
Florists,—Inventors and Manufacturers^—Breeders 
of Improved Stock,— Land and Railroad Companies 
and Agencies, —those wishing to sell Farms or Farming 
Lands, &c. The*RuitAL is also a capital medium for Pub¬ 
lishers and Booksellers, Wholesale Merchants and Dealers, 
Educational Institutions, Insurance and other Companies, 
Agencies, Ac., and indeed for all who desire to advertise 
widely, and hence profitably, — for, in addition to its 
unequalled circulation in the richest “ Rural Districts,” it 
is taken by thousands of Business and Professional Men 
in Villages and Cities throughout the Country. 
Terms of Advertising — Twenty-five Cents a Line, 
each insertion, payable in advance. Special Notices—
