MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Arrival of the Africa. 
The Africa, from Liverpool 2 P. M. 2d ifist, ar¬ 
rived at New York on the night of the 15th. 
Great Britain.— The official returns show a de¬ 
crease on the quarter of £1,778,000, on the half 
year of £2,720,000, and upon the year £6,017,000.— 
The decrease is more than accounted for by the 
reduction in the income tax, amounting to £7,909,- 
000—so that there was an actual increase on the 
year's revenue, as contrasted with last year, of £1,- 
883 000. 
A report was current that Government was about 
to send three gentlemen experienced in engineer¬ 
ing and maritime matters, with a view of reporting 
upon the state of the harbor and roadstead of Gal¬ 
way, and to inquire as to what works may be nec¬ 
essary for rendering the port safe and commodious. 
Mr. Varley, one of the consulting electricians of 
the Atlantic Telegraph Co., writes to the Times in 
response to an article calling in question his esti¬ 
mate of the distance of the faults in the cable.— 
He states that his means of testing are not wholly 
dependent upon the resistance offered by the cable, 
and that he searched diligently for indications of 
a fault nearer shore, but without success. He also 
says that by the modes of testing adopted by him, 
the estimated distances are seldom more than live 
per cent, in error, and then only in cases of diffi¬ 
culty. In testing the Atlantic cable he adopted 
four distinct modes. 
A Mr. Rowett had offered to lay a rope-covered 
electric wire between Yalentia and Newfoundland, 
for the sum of £182,000. 
Postage Stamps.— The Stamp Bureau of the 
Post Office Department, which is under the direc¬ 
tion of the Third Assistant Postmaster General, 
John Marron, Esq., has made the following re¬ 
turns:

Flour and Grain— In Flonr there is no variation ef prices—the 
market is rather unsettled, and millers operate very cautiously.— 
Grain is pretty much as last quoted. Canadian Wneat exhibits a 
greater range, but best qualities are at last rates. Beans are up a 
little—the maximum figures are for very choice varieties and in fine 
condition.

France.— A. Paris correspondent of Le Nord 
does not hesitate to assert that the object of Prince 
Napoleon's visit to Warsaw was to communicate to 
the Emperor Alexander the views of the Emperor 
Napoleon with regard to coming events in Turkey. 
A letter from Paris says that the French Consul 
at Tampico had written to the commander of the 
French naval station in the Gulf of Mexico, claim¬ 
ing protection for the French in that place. 
Mr. Morphy, the American chess player, had 
been astonishing the Parisians by repeating his 
extraordinary performance of playing eight games, 
with eight separate players at one and the same 
time without seeing the boards. Mr. Morphy won 
six of the games and the other two were drawn.— 
The play lasted ten hours. 
Spain— Some ships-of-the-line were to proceed 
to Cochin China to protect the Spaniards there. 
Rumors of a Ministerial crisis were current, but

ment has granted permission to import cotton seed

The troops had nearly completed their huts, and 
would go into winter quarters on the 15th of Octo¬ 
ber. The Fort Smith (Ark.) Times, Extra, of the 
8th, contains a letter from Lieut. Powell, dated 
Fort Arbuckle 2d, giving an account of a battle 
between a detachment of the Second Cavalry and 
the Camanche Indians, near Witchita Village, on 
the 1st, in which Lieut. Van Camp and four men 
were killed, and Major Vanclan and ten privates 
were wounded. Forty of the Camanches were

Turkey.— Letters from Candia describe the is¬ 
land aa still in a very disturbed state. The new 
Governor had not been able to carry out the in¬ 
structions received from Constantinople. Armed 
Turks had traversed the capital of the island, 
shouting “Death to the Christians.” Some of 
them were arrested, hut were immediately released, 
so great is Mussulman influence. 
A telegram from Alexandria says:—“The Lud- 
fero publishes a report of a revolt at Jiddah, and a 
rising at Mecca, wherein several Turkish soldiers 
have been killed.”

469 Age 
Population of Our Principal Cities.— Says a 
Philadelphia paper, the following, according to 
the ratio of increase of census of 1850, is believed 
to approach very nearly to the population of our 
principal cities in 1857:—Baltimore, 235,000; Phil¬ 
adelphia, 590,000; New York, 670,000; Brooklyn, 
220,000; Boston, 170,000. This is probably near 
enough to the real state of the case for an estimate. 
If Philadelphia had 590,000 people a year ago, the 
aggregate must now largely exceed 600,000, and 
in that event it will reach three-quarters of a 
million by the time the national census of 1860 
shall be taken.

From Santa Fe.— A despatch from Indepen¬ 
dence says the Santa Fe mail arrived on the 2d, 
with dates to the 13th ult. Mr. Craig, the bag con¬ 
tractor at Fort Massachusetts, is supposed to have 
been murdered by the Indians. There was con¬ 
siderable political excitement at Santa Fe between 
the regular Democratic nominations and what the 
Gazette calls the Bob Tail Democracy. The Apar 
che Indians were still troublesome about Fort Bu¬ 
chanan. They had stolen some government stock. 
No news from Fort Defiance. It is supposed that 
the expedition against the Navajo Indians has been 
abandoned. 
The steamer Star of the We3t arrived at New 
York on the 15th inst, bringing upwards of $1,400,- 
000 in treasure, and California dates to Sept 21st 
California news uninteresting. Advices of the 
success of the Atlantic Cable had caused great re¬ 
joicing, and Monday, the 27th, had been selected 
to celebrate the event. 
Government Station at Benecia Bay was burnt 
the 13th of Sept., together with horses, mules, pro- 
vender, &c. 
The lumps of gold recently found in Columbia 
by Mr. Strain, had been melted and run into a bar 
weighing upward of 400 ounces, and sold for near¬ 
ly $75,000. 
James Hennesey, one of the vigilance commit¬ 
tee exiles, recently commenced a suit for damages, 
but it being impossible to empanel a jury who 
were not prejudiced in favor of the committee, the 
suit was abandoned. 
The eighth anniversary of the admission of Cali¬ 
fornia into the Union, wa3 celebrated at San Fran¬ 
cisco on the 9 th ult. 
There was a smart shock of an earthquake at 
San Francisco on the evening of the 12th. 
Frazer River.— Advices from Frazer River to 
Sept. 6. The news from the mines is cheering._ 
The river was falling rapidly, and the miners were 
realizing as high as $80 per day. Dry diggings 
had been found near Fort Yale. No new Indian 
difficulties. 
Isthmus. —The U. S. frigate Roanoke touched at 
Aspinwall, Sept. 30tb, and sailed for San Juan. It 
was reported that GeD. Lamar had demanded $2,- 
000,000 from Costa Rica as recompense for shoot¬ 
ing some Americans at Virgin Bay and the taking 
of the place. 
Lieut Giilis, U. S. N., had satisfactorily complet¬ 
ed his observations of the total eclipse of the sun

Wholesale Counterfeiting. —An extraordina¬ 
ry case of counterfeiting the bills of the Turkish 
Bank, is detailed in the New York city papers. A 
Mrs. Stevens, a Turkish lady, arrived at Syra a 
short time since, on her way from Liverpool to 
Constantinople. Upon the examination of her 
trunks by the officer of customs, it was ascertained 
they had false bottoms, between which were con¬ 
cealed spurious notes on the Turkish Bank, to an 
immense value. Steps were then taken to find out 
where the bills were printed; and the investigation 
finally resulted in tracing their manufacture to 
New York city, where the plates were seized. A 
person by the name of Harrison, who did the print¬ 
ing, supposed he was printing off labels for some 
quack nostrum!

Not Dead Yet.—A New York paper states that 
a gentleman by the name of Mitchell, who was a 
passenger on board of the ill-fated steamer Arctic, 
was supposed to be lost, and in consequence, seve¬ 
ral persons who considered themselves heirs-at-law 
have taken his property and distributed it among 
themselves. The “ dead man” has, however, unex¬ 
pectedly turned up at the St. Nicholas Hotel, New 
York, and has commenced proceedings against 
the parties who have unceremoniously assumed 
control of his goods and chatties, believing him to 
be no longer in the land of the living.
