AUGUST 7. 
MOOSE’S SURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
futeltipwe. 
Arrival of the Vanderbilt and Persia. 
The Vanderbilt arrived at New York on the 2d 
inst, at 2 A. M, with Liverpool dates to A. M. of 
21st, and London P. M. same day. She reports 
very favorable weather for the laying of the cable. 
Great Britain.— General news unimportant. 
There were interesting debates in the Lords 
on the Jeddah massacre, in the course of which 
Malmesbury said all necessary steps had been 
taken to demand immediate redress from Turkey, 
but there was no intention of occupying Mecca. 
The Commons discussed at length a motion by 
Mr. Roebuck, that ihe privileges of the Hudson 
Bay Company, about to expire, ought to be renew¬ 
ed, and such territory held by them as was needed 
for purposes of colonization ought to be assumed 
without delay by the government. The motion 
was finally withdrawn. 
The attempt to raise funds for the completion of 
the Great Eastern had failed. It is now proposed , 
to raise a new Company for purchasing her. 
The Cotton Supply Association of England is 
very actively engaged in collecting subscriptions. 
They are about to open an exhibition of an exten¬ 
sive collection of cotton samples from various 
countries. 
There has been a sudden change in the program¬ 
me of Qaeen Victoria's visit to Berlin. There are 
to be no ferns, no salutes, no demonstrations usual 
on such occasions. The cause of this change is 
not fully known, but there are rumors of ill-health 
of the Princess Frederick William. 
The Paris Moniteursays the French Government 
will join England in demanding reparation for the 
Jeddah massacre. 
The telegraph on the evening of the 2d inst, 
brings the following intelligence:—A steamer 
from Europe passed Cape Race at noon yesterday, 
and riaoded to a fisherman four copies of the Liv¬ 
erpool Northern Times, from the 20th to the 23d of 
J >lv, inclusive. The name was not ascertained.— 
The customary dispatch from our agent in Liver¬ 
pool having failed to come to hand, we are unable 
to say what vessel it was. It wag probably the 
Persia from Liverpool the 24th. From the papers 
to hand the following summary has been made up: 
The commercial advices are necessarilly very 
imperfect, but the political news wdl be found of 
the highest interest, embracing as it does news of 
the re-capture of Gwalior by the Euglish, and the 
taking of a Chinese fort mounting 138 guns, at the 
mouth of the Peiho. 
France — The Moniteur ridicules the idea of a 
French invasion of England. 
The Paris Conference closes on the 15th of Aug 
La Presse, Prince Napoleon's organ, complains 
of the severity of the treatment of the press in the 
French colonies. 
The epidemic at Bergaze was diminishing. 
Tnere is nothing later from the telegraph fleet 
than reported by the Vanderbilt. 
China.— The forts at the mouth of the river 
Peiho, mounting over 100 guns backed by a large 
bidy of troops, were attacked May 20th by the 
English and French gun boats, and taken. Loss of 
the Allies trifling. The Chinese stood to their 
guns very fairly. On the 22d the forces com¬ 
menced advancing up the river. The weather was 
cool, and the squadron in good health and spirits 
Six thousand French troops, originally destined 
for Cochin China, are on their way to Pecholle. 
From Oanton information was on the 2d of June. 
An ineffectual attempt was made by the Allies to 
route the Chinese braves on the mountains in the 
vicinity. Nan Nangtoo was in possession of the 
rebels, and the English merchants had gone on 
board Her Majesty’s ship Surprise. 
India.— An official telegraph to the Foreign 
Office, received on the 22d, states that the steamer 
Canda arrived at Suez on the 18tb, with Calcutta 
dates to the 19th, Madras 2f>tb, and Galleo 29th of 
June, Hong Kong to the 17th June, and Aden the 
11th of July. The forces under 8ir Hugh Rose 
hid retaken Gwalior after a severe fight of four 
hours. The remainder of the Indian news is un¬ 
important. 
Commercial Intelligence. 
Brkadstijpfs.—R ichardson, Spence h Co., quote flour 
very dull, declined 6d per bbl.; quotations nominally as 
follows: — Western Canal 21»6d@21s6d—Philadelphia and 
Baltimore 22s6d—Ohio 22s@24s. Wheat dull but steady— 
Red 5s@6s6d—white 6s7d@6s6d. Corn little inquired for 
—mixed and yellow 34s@34s6d—white 34s@34s6d. 
Provisions.- Liverpool Produce Market was dull, but 
generally unaltered. 
Money Market. —The London Money Market had un¬ 
dergone no special change. Consols clossd for 95>£, for 
acount, 95%. Weather in England favorable, and wheat 
crop yery promising. 
The Chinese Difficulty. —By the latest arrivals 
we learn that on the 29ch of April, the allied fleet, 
consisting of 19 vessels of war, was at anchor 11 
miles from the month of the Peiho, and 140 from 
Pekin. The vessels were separated by a mud bank 
from the Chinese forts which guard the mouth of 
the river, and which mount about 80 guns. The 
Ministers of the Four Powers—England, France, 
Russia and the United States—were present, and 
had united in despatching communications to the 
Chinese authorities, requesting that a Commission¬ 
er might be sent down to treat Six days were al¬ 
lowed for the request to be complied with, at the 
end of which time, if a satisfactory answer was not 
received, it was understood that the forts were to 
be attacked. This ultimatum was forwarded to the 
the Capital on the 24th of April, and a Commis¬ 
sioner was promptly deputed to meet the Plenipo¬ 
tentiaries. But bo little hope existed of a peaceful 
solution of difficulties, that the British steamer 
Sampson was ordered to HoDg Kong for reinforce¬ 
ments. The Sampson was to start on her return 
on the 29 th of May, with six officers and 170 men 
of the Royal Engineers, and two gun-boats were 
to accompany her. It was reported that Her Ma¬ 
jesty’s 59th were under orders for the same destin¬ 
ation. The French transport Gironde had also ar¬ 
rived with 900 marine infantry, who would be sent 
to take part in the operations at the North. 
The Election in Kansas. — The election in 
Kansas took place on Monday, the 2d inst The 
people of this Territory are called upon to announce 
their sentiments through the ballot box on the 
question of the adoption of the Lecompton Consti¬ 
tution, by which they will be enabled, if that instru¬ 
ment prove acceptable, to assume the forms of 
government, and give to Kansas the thirty-third 
place on the roll of the Confederacy. If her peo¬ 
ple refuse to indorse that Constitution, then the 
Territory will remain as it now stands, if no new 
law shall be passed by Congress otherwise ordering 
it, until she can show a population of ninety-three 
thousand four hundred and twenty souls. We will 
probably be able to annonnee the result in the 
Rural of next week. 
Minnesota is emphatically the land of flowers. 
On Sunday week, says the St Paul Democrat, we 
counted, in a space of less than twenty acres, 47 
varieties of wild flowers, all indigenous in Min¬ 
nesota.

California gntettigoua. 
Arrival of the Moses Taylor. 
The MoseB Taylor, from Aspinwall, 19tb, arrived 
at New York on the 27th ult, with the California 
mails of July 5th, and SI, 163,817 in treasure. 
The advices from California are not important. 
The principal feature is the Frazer river excite¬ 
ment, which was without abatement. The reports 
of the new gold mines are getting to he qnite fab¬ 
ulous. One miner vouched for in San Franccisco 
papers as reliable, says his first day’s yield at the 
mines was $700. Victoria was crowded with 
Americans who had run up building lots to enor¬ 
mous prices—some as high as $10,000. 
The Hudson Bay Co. was buying dust at $15 per 
once. The Indians had begun to molest the emi¬ 
grants on their way to the mines. A party of ten 
who were encamped near Schome, were attacked 
and six killed. 
Twenty-two canoes filled with Indians were 
passed going into Victoria by steamer Sea Bird, 
and two hundred more were on the way and daily 
expected at that port. It is feared the mining re- 
Rion would be overrun by these warriors, and that 
indiscriminate massacre would follow. 
Fourteen steam and sail vessels left San Fran¬ 
cisco during the fortnight for Frazer river. 
The Supreme Court had decided Sunday law un¬ 
constitutional, and all prosecutions based on that 
law had been abandoned. 
Oregon.— Advices frsm Oregon state that the 
Indians of the Upper Columbia were collecting in 
large numbers. Object unknown. 
The State election has resulted in the choice of 
the whole Democratic ticket 
Advices from both Washington and Oregon Ter¬ 
ritories, mention a general gathering of Indians 
with evident hostile intentions. The commander 
of the Pacific forces is hurrying all the troops at 
his command, but their number and equipments 
are wretchedly inadequate. 
Isthmus News — The line between Aspinwall 
and Havana is discontinued. Hereafter all Aspin¬ 
wall steamers for New York will stop at Key West. 
Advices from Valparaiso are to June 16th.— 
Nothing important. 
Bolivia was quite unsettled and the Government 
was in great dread of the return of Beheu. 
The President is becoming very unpopular, and 
had been admonished by many of the best citizens. 
Others were selling their estates and leaving Peru. 
Advices from Carthagena announce the rejec¬ 
tion of the Cass-Herran treaty by Congress. A 
bearer of dispatches wasen route for Washington. 
Gen. Mosvuera is to assume military command 
of the Isthmus, and Gen. Posaba at Carthagena. 
Advices from Port an Platte are to Jaly 14th.— 
Business very dull, and markets glutted with all 
kinds of merchandise. 
Specie was very scarce, and the people had lost 
all confidence in government paper money, and 
were exchanging it at the rate of $100 for $1 in 
specie.

I NUMBER NONE BUT SUNNY HOURS. 
The Sun Dial, the moat ancient registrar of time, has 
hitherto been prevented from general use by the expense 
necessary to made them ornamental, accurate, and dura¬ 
ble. The undersigned has succeeded in 
making, at a very moderate cost, a dial of 
great beauty and excellent workmanship, 
and at a very low price. The dial is made 
of copper, plated with pure silver, with 
the equation of time engraved upon it — 
It also has a mirror inserted, which re¬ 
flects the clouds and marks their direc¬ 
tion. A cast-iron Doric column painted 
like stone is furnished with the dial.— 
Placed in front of a dwelling, on a lawn, 
or in a garden, it is more attractive and 
ornamental than any piece of costly stat¬ 
uary, and at the same time permanently 
useful. No suburban residence, farm, or 
factory should be without this classic 
register of time. They can be sent safely 
to any part of tbe United States, and are 
furnished ready for shipping at $15.— 
This amount inclosed to subscriber will 
insure their prompt delivery. Directions 
for erecting and setting them are sent 
along, Direct to

CHICAGO July 29—The receipts of wool this season fall very 
materia ly short of there of last year io far. A large proportion of 
the clip is already engaged by agents who have bought directly for 
Eastern manufacturer., and who have uniformly paid as high, and in 
many cases higher prices than a-« i aid by dealers in this city, who, 
as a consequence, are not doi ig a tiihe of ili.-ir usual bu-iness. Quo¬

ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
Opens Permanently September 1st, 1858. 
LOCATION. 
W AMSLEY S new and magnificent Marble Block, in which this 
College is now permanently located, is situated on Main 
8t r cot, near Ihe centre of business, and in one of the most delightful 
portions of the city. 
The rooms appropriated to tho College purposes in this splendid 
block, are the largest and mo t elegant of any Commercial Institu¬ 
tion in the country, containing over ton thousand square feet of floor, 
and famished In a most superior manner Every class of business, 
including Banking, Exchange, Insurance. Steamhoating, Manufac¬ 
turing, Commission and Forwarding, Retail and Jobb.ng, Hotel, 
Nur-ery and Horticultural, Is represented by appropiiute offices, 
counting rooms and desks, which are supplied with all tho various 
practical forms used in well regulated establishments. 
THE COLLEGE HANK. 
This is a Bank of discount and circulation, with a capital of half a 
million of dollars. The counters, desks, and other fixtures are on tho 
most approved plan of a City Bank, and all the departments furnished 
with the various account books, blank forms, Ac., in actual use The 
Bills of this Bank, and of several other Banks represented, are beau¬ 
tifully engraved and printed on genuine bank note paper, for chcula- 
tioa among the pupils. 
The Real Estate Broker's, Insurance, Exchange, Steamboat, Rail¬ 
road, Express and Post-Offices, are supplied with account books, 
blank forms cf Deeds, Mortgages, Policies, Bills of Exchange, 
Checks, Notes, Drafts, Manifests, Bills of Luding, Railroad Reports, 
Duplicate”, Ac. Real estate, ships, merchandize, and every other va¬ 
riety of property, being represented by scrip. 
ROUTINE OF BUSINESS. 
Tho pnpil, after securing the elements of Penmanship and Book- 
keep ng, which only require a very short time, as everything in the 
elementary course is reduced to the utmost simplicity, is provided 
with a capital, consisting of cash, real estate, stocks or merchandize, 
corresponding with the nature of the business in which he is to en¬ 
gage, and opens his books accordingly; deposits his money in the 
Bank, receives his Bank hook ; imports and forwards merchandize; 
buys and sells ships, stocks and real estate; purchases and ships 
goods on his own and joint account; receives and manage estates- 
makes out all his notes, drafts, bills of exchange, accepta ces, account 
sales, accounts current, and compotes ull tho commercial calculations 
connected with his transactions, as the business requires, and bal¬ 
ances bis books weekly. In a word, every variety of business is ap¬ 
propriately represented, and actually performed by the learner until 
he becomes practically fami'iar with the process of opening, conduct¬ 
ing and closing books, aud the whole routine of mercantile transac¬ 
tions, from the detail of a country store to the more complicated ope¬ 
rations of the highest banking institution. 
From the above brief sy nopsis of this new mode of instruction it 
will be seen at once, that the grand desideratum of a Mercantile 
Education is attained, viz, practice as well as theory. 
This system has grown out of a long experience as practical ac¬ 
countant and teacher, and is so perfect in its actual adaptation that 
every student who pursues the con ore faithfully will, it is confidently 
believed, be able, in an incredibly short space of time, to act as Book¬ 
keeper in tbe highest establishment, without any misgivings as to his 
ability. It is tire design of tho proprietor, without regard to labor or 
expense, to make this institution, iu every respect, all that its name 
imports, viz.: a MODEL MERCANTILE COLLEGE.

I N order to advance the interests of Agriculture more effectually 
than I can by spending money in attending public trials, whicn 
often are very unsatisfactory to the public, I offer tbe following 
premiums: 
1st—ONE HUNDEED AND FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the farmer who Uiall cut the greatest number of acreB of grasH and 
grain. In the shorten time, in the best manner, and with the least ex¬ 
pense, with Ketchnm’s Combined Machine, manufactured this year, 
daring the ensuing harvest 
2d,—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To the farmer who shall cut with any Ketchum Combined Machine, 
not less than fifty acres of grass and fifty acres of grain iu like manner. 
3d.—ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS 
To tho farmer who shall cut one hundred acres of grass, with any 
Ketchom Mower, in like manner. 
4th.—FIFTY DOLLARS 
To the farmer, who shall cut fifty acres of grass, in like manner, with 
any Ketchum Mower. 
5th.—TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS 
To tho farmer, who shall harvest twenty acres of clover seed, with any 
Ketchum Machine, in like manner. 
Tile grass must yield not less thun one and a half tons to tho acre. 
Tile said work to tie done with machines manufactured by the sub¬ 
scriber, at Buffalo, N. Y. 
Farmers competing for the above premiums shall forward an affida¬ 
vit or affidavits, setting forth the facts, viz: the kind of land, crop tuid 
amount thereof per acre, tbe quality of work, length of stubble, time 
occupied, giving the hours, and the expense incurred for labor or re¬ 
pairs, stating each item and such other circumstances as may be 
proper, togetner with the number of the machine and the year pur¬ 
chased, to T. C. Peters, of Darien, Gen. Co., N. Y, before the 1st of 
September next, who shall have the privilege of making or having 
a personal examination made, or may require additional proof before 
making his award. 
I will furnish blanks for affidavits to any person, and reserve the 
privilege of publishing any of tbe statements and the awards in my 
next circnlar Two premiumsshail not tie awarded to the 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 with the scythe 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, that it is difficult for Committees to judge with 
scrupulous accuracy of the features and capacity of the differeut ma¬ 
chines. K- L. HOWARD,
