“ EXCELSIOR ! " 
New Volume, New Dress, and New Club Term3! 
MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER, 
THE LEADING AND LARGEST CIRCULATED 
Agricultural, Literary and Family Journal, 
VOLUME X, FOR 1850. 
Tira Rural New-Yorker is so widely and favorably known in 
the Kast and West, North and South, as the most popular Agricul¬ 
tural, Literary and Family Newspaper of the Age, that we 
omit all expletives in announcing the Tenth Volumo. Suffice it to 
say that no proper effort or expense will be spared to fully maintain 
and increase its reputation as the Rest Journal of its Class — 
rendering it, emphatically, the Standard 
RURAL AND FAMILY WEEKLY. 
“Excelsior" its glorious Motto, and “Progress and Improve¬ 
ment" its laudable Objects, the Rural continuously excels in Merit 
and reports decided progress in Circulation and Usefulness. As 
an Agricultural, Horticultural, Literary, Family and News Paper, 
combi ed, it has long been unrivalled. Not a monthly of only twelve 
issues yearly, but a Large and Beautiful Weekly,— which embraces 
in one a greater number of Useful and Timely Topics than several 
ordinary journals,— The Rural is, par excellence, 
The Paper for the People and the Times! 
TriE Tenth Volume will bo Printed and Illustrated in Superior 
Style, while its Contents will vie with its improved Appearance. 
All who desire a paper which ignores trash, humbug and deception, 
and earnestly seeks to promote the Best Interests and Home Happi¬ 
ness of its myriad of readers in both Town and Country, are invited 
to try the Model Farm and Fireside Journal.

LIBERAL GRATUITIES. 
In addition to the extra copies above offered, and any 
Premiums which we may hereafter offer for subscribers to 
the Tenth Volume of the Rural Nkw-Yorkkr, we will 
give to Each of the One Hundred Persons sending the 
first lists of Thirty or more yearly Subscribers to the 
Rural after this d »te (remitting payment at our club rate 
—$1 25 per copy,) a bound volume of the Rural for 1858, 
price $3,— or $2 in Agricultural Books, post paid. 
To each of the One Hundred Persons sending the first 
lists of Ten, Sixteen or Twenty Subscribers tin above, re¬ 
mitting paymentaccordiDg to our terms, we will give either 
anoiher extra copy of the Rural, or $1 60 in Ag. Books, 
post paid, or a Gross of the Washington Medallion Pens, 
poet paid, as preferred by the persons entitled. 
Iffy?" Plenty ov Time 1 — In answer to two or three 
recent inquiries, we would state there is yet abundant 
time to secure the Liberal Gratuities we offer for the first 
100 lists of 30 subscribers, and first 100 of 10,16, or 20. 
Indeed, as club lists do not usually come in to any extent 
until after Dec. 1st, we presume all who remit before the 
10th or 15th will be sure of the extra premiums, and per¬ 
haps those who send as late as the 20th or 25th. But as 
there are indications of a rush this year, competitors 
should remit as early as possible. 
PUBLISHER’S NOTICES. 
%g£T The Money Wk Receive. — Bills on all solvent 
Banks in the D. 8. and Canada taken at par on subscrip 
tion to the Rural, but our agents and other friends will 
please remit New York, New England or Canada money 
when convenient. Postage Stamps can be remitted for 
fractional parts of a dollar. For all amounts over $15 we 
prefer Drafts oh either New York, Philadelphia, Boston, 
Albany, Rochester or Buffalo (less exchange,) payable to 
our order—and all such drafts may be mailed at the risk 
of the Publisher. If our friends throughout the Union, 
British Provinces, &c., will comply with these suggestions 
so far as convenient, the favor will be appreciated. 
Any person who remits pay for a club of 10,16 
or 20 at the specified rates for such club, and adds a suffi¬ 
cient number within one month thereafter can avail him¬ 
self of the advantage of the lower price of large club, 
and retain the amount overpaid. Thus, a person remit¬ 
ting $15 for 10 copies, could obtain 10 copies more within 
a month by sending only $11. 
ffsT The Rural is published strictly upon the cash 
system —copies are never mailed to individual subscribers 
until paid for, (or ordered by a responsible agent,) and 
always discontinued when the subscription term expires. 
Hence, a prompt renewal is necessary to secure the regu¬ 
lar continuance of the paper. 
E3F” Clubbing with the Magazines, &o.—We will 
send the Rural New-Yorker for 1859 and a yearly copy 
of either The Atlantic, Harper's, Godey's, Graham's , or 
any other $3 magazine, for $4. The Rural and either 
The Horticulturist, Honey's Magazine, Arthur's Maga¬ 
zine, or any other $2 magazine, for $3. 
JfYf" The Rural as a Present.— Our readers are 
reminded that in all cases where the Rural is sent to a 
distant friend or relative, as a present, we only charge 
the lowest club price, $1 25. Our lowest price for copies 
sent to Canada, is $1 37%» and to Europe, $2 25—the 
extra charge being for postage. 
Hr Specimens Free.— We always take pleasure in 
sending specimens free of charge. Reader, if you have 
any friends, near or distant, that you think would sub¬ 
scribe for the Rural, or act as agent, please give us their 
addresses and we will send them specimens, &c. No mat¬ 
ter how many nam8s—“ the more the merrier.” 
ffy Drafts at our Risk. —We lose little money by 
mail, but prefer Drafts on New York (less exchange,) 
payable to our order, and which may be sent at our risk 
if carefully inclosed and mailed to D. D. T. Moore, Roch¬ 
ester, N. Y. 
tffjir Any person so disposed can act as local agent for 
the Rural, without certificate, and each and all who vol¬ 
unteer in the good cause will not only receive premiums, 
bat their aid will be appreciated. 
0 s ” ordering the Rural please send us the best

463] SEND FOR A CIRCULAR. [13t 
The City of Baltimore arrived at New York on 
the 23d ulc, the Prince Albert at St. Johiie, N, F., 
and the Africa at New York, on the 26th ulc. 
Great Britain.— Mr. Whitehouse, late Electri¬ 
cian to ihe Cable Co., publishes a letter from the 
Secretary of the Company, refusing his request 
that the line might be submitted to his further test 
and experiments, and declining to enter into the 
proposal contemplated by him. A letter from Va- 
lentia says the Telegraph Company’s premises 
have been closed up, and the electrical staff sum¬ 
marily dismissed. It was not known whether 
tney were to be succeeded by another staff or not. 
The laying of the Bhoie end of the cable had been 
commenced, and was progressing slowly. 
Gen Peel, in a recent speech, said that England 
had already 73,000 troops in India. The whole of 
the artillery regiments of milnia were to be em¬ 
bodied for permanent duty, and to be employed 
to strengthen the garrison in the forts along the 
coast. 
Tne ship Lincolnshire, from Melbourne, with 
gold amounting to £420,000, had arrived in the 
English Channel. 
Fears are entertained at Liverpool concerning 
the safety of the steamer Indian Empire, which 
sailed from New York Oct. 23d, for Galway via 
Halifax, and from tho latter port on the 28tn. 
The submarine cable petween Dover and Calais 
was repaired and again working. 
France.— The French Emperor had written a let¬ 
ter to Prince Napoleon, Minister to Algiers and the 
Colonies, directing an inquiry into the negro ap¬ 
prentice system. 
The general trade of Paris had improved, and 
accounts from the Provinces were more satisfacto¬ 
ry. Breadstuffs were lower in Paris. 
The Paris correspondent of the London Globe 
says, tbat Galway is about to be adopted by France 
as the outlet of her postal communication with 
North America, and tnat the Lever line will suc¬ 
ceed in getting a large subsidy from the Emperor, 
the projected Havre line having withdrawn in 
favor of the Galway enterprise. 
Spain.— The London Times says, in its city 
article, that according to a statement from Madrid, 
the Spanish government will order their fleet at 
Cuba to at onco demand satisfaction from Mexico. 
Probably the countenance of the French govern¬ 
ment, who are likewise reported to have sent addi¬ 
tional ships of war to that port, is relied upon this 
movement, while it is also well known that Eng¬ 
land has various demands to urge, which will 
cause her to insist upon redress at least equal to 
that which may be accorded in other cases. 
A telegraph dispatch from Madrid states that a 
Spanish fleet of eight steamera sailed from Cadiz 
on the 10th for the Tanjiers. It is added that the 
fleet has orders, after the presenting of the de¬ 
mands of the Spanish government upon Mexico, 
to scour the coast of Africa, and destroy all vessels 
manned by the Riff Moors, which may be found 
without regular papers, and treat them as pirates. 
Accounts from Cadiz say that the second por¬ 
tion of the reinforcements for Cuba was ready to 
start at a moment’s notice. The force will be 2,100 
infantry, and 500 marines. 
Conferences on the subject of Mexico had been 
held at Madrid between the Minister of Foreign 
Affairs and the Embassadors of England and 
France, and a semi-official journal says that Buch 
conferences promise a satisfactory solution. 
Italy.— An opinion prevailed in Naples that the 
ports of that Kingdom will shortly be opened fo 
the free importation of corn, the crops havin 
proved rather a failure, and prices being on th j 
rise. 
Russia. —- The 8t. Petersburg]! Northern Bee 
publishes an account of the re-establishment of tff 
relations between the Russians and Chinese, Aug, 
26th, at Schomogontchkerr Konldga, in Western 
China, and the solemn inauguration of the Const! 
lar faction. 
The Russian Embassador to Japan had arrived 
at Marseilles with an advantageous treaty, which 
he had succeeded in negotiating. 
Turkey.— A telegram from Beyrout aunounces 
that a general agitation was reigning in Asiatic 
Turkey. Insurrections had occurred at several 
places, and Omer Pasha was maintaining himself 
at Bagdad with difficulty. The tribe living be¬ 
tween Tripoli and Aleppo had revolted. Commu¬ 
nication was interrupted between the Libanus and 
Tripoli, and between Alexonbretta and Aleppo. 
The garrison at Beyrout had been seat against the 
insurgents. The disorder in the Libanus had been 
appeased by the Bishop. 
Japan.— Advices from Japan say the Cholera 
was carrying off a great number of people. It was 
carried there, it is said, by an American man-of- 
war, which circumstance had prejuiced the people 
against foreigners. 
China.— The last dispatches from China, an¬ 
nounce that Admiral Regnault, after having taken 
possession of the establishments at Turane, had im¬ 
mediately marched on the city of Hue, the capital 
of Cochin China and of the whole Empire of An- 
nam. Details of the taking of Turane show that 
the gun boats destroyed five forts in half an hour. 
Turane had been declared French territory.

Cholera in Japan. —The last European arrival 
brings information that the cholera, (supposed to 
have originated in Asia,) had been introduced into 
Japan by an American man-of-war, on which a case 
had occnrred while at the island. A great number 
of the Japanese had died of the disease, and the 
popular belief was that the wells had been poison¬ 
ed. This circumstance naturally created a great 
prejudice against foreigners. 
Indian Outrages in Texas.— The Texas papers 
have accounts of a great many Indian outrages.— 
Whole families had been killed on the frontier and 
their stock and other property stolen. The Gov¬ 
ernor had called out several volunteer companies 
to punish them.
