MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
folreicjiQ Itfie llicje»)ce. 
Arrival of the Atlantic. 
The Atlantic reached New York Feb. 9, 
with Liverpool dates of the 27th, afternoon. 
The steamship Great Britain arrived at Liv¬ 
erpool from Australia with 350,000 pounds 
sterling in gold. Her dates are anticipated. 
The chief interest of the news centres in 
the proceedings of the British Parliament, in 
which the Government had been severely de¬ 
nounced. Lord John Russell had resigned 
his seat in the Cabinet, and «a total break up 
of the Ministry was talked of. 
The Vienna Peace Conference will not meet 
until the middle of February. 
Sebastopol dates are to the 14th of January. 
Nothing of moment had occurred. The Rus¬ 
sians made two sorties, and were repulsed with 
considerable loss. The weather had been cold, 
but at the latest dates was milder. Consider¬ 
able reinforcements were reaching the allies. 
Liprandi had again advanced his outposts to 
the Tchernaya. 40,000 Russians, with eighty 
guns, are said to be at Perekop. Letters state 
that the French had mined the flag-staff bat¬ 
tery, and only awaited opportunities to blow 
it up. Sickness was increasing in the camp. 
Menschikoff is reported to have said: “ Our 
troops may rest. Generals: January, Febru¬ 
ary and March will fight our battles far better 
than we can. ’ ’ The Russians had repaired and 
re-occupied the Quarantine fort. 
The allies arc going to establish a hospital 
for 2,000 men at Smyrna, and an establish¬ 
ment for convalescents at Rhodes. 
The Russians report numerous desertions 
from the allies to their ranks. An Odessa let¬ 
ter of the 9th says the Russians will shortly 
assume the offensive in the Crimea, having 
received the necessary reinforcements. Large 
bodies of Russian troops have been ordered to 
concentrate themselves at Perekop with a view 
of attacking Eupatoria. 
It was positively asserted that Omer Pasha’s 
force would begin operations on the 18th of 
January, by advancing under cover of the ar¬ 
tillery and the fleets, along the coast. The 
last of the Turkish convoys left Varna on the 
14th for Balaklava. 
New and startling cases of mismanagement 
in the British commisserial department were 
continually coming to light. 
A despatch from Menschikoff, dated the 17 th 
of January, was published in St. Petersburgh 
on the 25th of January, to the following ef¬ 
fect : “Tire siege operations do not advance. 
Two successful night sorties were made on the 
13th and 15th. They took 14 English and 9 
French prisoners. The allies lost a considera¬ 
ble number in killed. Arab deserters say that 
the Turks are treated with very little consid¬ 
eration by the allies. ’ ’ 
The Danube.— The Patrie says the recent 
passage of the Danube by the Russians has 
given rise to a demand by Austria for explan¬ 
ation from Gortschakoff, and ordors have been 
sent to Count Coronini to prevent Russia from 
re-commencing the campaign on the Danube. 
The Admirals have declared all ports of the 
Black Sea and Sea of Azof in a state of strict 
blockade, and have captured and laid an em¬ 
bargo on several ships laden with provisions 
for the Russians. 
Asia.— The appointment of Ismael Pasha to 
the command of the army of Antonio, had 
produced the best results upon the troops.— 
The Turks had opened communication with 
Schamyl, whose force numbers 20,000. Prince 
Peratynski, a Pole Lieutenant in the Russian 
Guards, had deserted to the Turks. 
China.— From China we have dates to Dec. 
12. Political affairs in the south were in a 
position more critical than ever, and the Can¬ 
ton authorities had applied officially for assist¬ 
ance from the American and English Consuls, 
with what result is not stated. The trade at 
the port was completely suspended. The 
question as to the payment of arrears of ex¬ 
port duties upon tea at Shanghai, had been 
settled, so far as Americans are concerned, by 
an agreement to pay up one-third. 
Markets. —Breadstuff's opened buoyant, but 
fell off and closed dull, at last weeks’ rates. 
Some circulars quote a trifle higher. Provis¬ 
ions without material change. Government 
is in market for Beef and Pork. Lard quiet. 
6^1ifoh)t4 ]»]feliigei)ee. 
Arrival of the North Star. 
The North Star arrived at New York Feh. 
8th, bringing California dates to the 16th Jan., 
200’passengcrs, and $1,239,209 in specie. 
The Panama railroad was completed. The 
first train of cars passed over it on the 28tli 
ult. The passengers that went out on the 
North Star, and also those that came home by 
her, passed over the road. The time occupied 
by the transit was four hours. 
From Acapulco it is reported that a part of 
Santa Anna’s army, 2,000 in number, had de¬ 
serted and gone over to Alvarez. A portion 
of them reached Acapulco on the 23d, and the 
remainder were daily expected. 
The Senatorial election in California was to 
come off on the 17th. The democrats were 
divided between Gwin and Broderick, and the 
Whigs have nominated T. L. Edwards as their 
candidate. 
The steamer Southerner, bound from San 
Francisco to Oregon, was lost about 60 miles 
below Cape Flattery. The passengers and 
crew all saved. 
The miners were rejoicing over the recent 
rains, and washing was going on briskly. In 
some parts of the State the weather was ex¬ 
cessively cold, and snow had fallen to the 
depth of from two to five feet. 
The Legislature had created a great excite¬ 
ment in the religious world by refusing to pay 
for the services of a chaplain, and inviting all 
the Sacramento clergymen, a Mormon minis¬ 
ter included, to officiate alternately. The 
clergy were declining the invitation. An at¬ 
tempt was being made in San Francisco to 
raise a company of Frenchmen to colonize the 
island of Hew Caledonia, in the Southern Pa¬ 
cific. A Mechanics’ Institute was about to be 
established at San Francisco. 
A project was on foot for establishing a line 
of stages between San Bias and Yera Cruz, for 
the transportation of passengers and corres¬ 
pondence between San Francisco and New Or¬ 
leans. 
The markets were very quiet and dull, and 
it was quite difficult to effect sales. The clos¬ 
ing quotations were, for Galego and Haxall 
flour, $15 50 ; wheat 3 a 3| cents ; clear bacon 
14£ ; lard 12. 
Sandwich Island dates are to the 23d Dec.— 
Prince Liholiho has ascended the throne. The 
funeral of the late King, Kanehameka, had 
been postponed till the 16th Jan. The old 
Privy Council were to continue in office for a 
time. 
The dates to Australia are to the 1st Dec.— 
Trade was very depressing, and fears were en¬ 
tertained for the crops on account of the 
drouth. Foreign guano from California was 
being imported. 
The dates from Callao are to the 7th Jan.— 
The news from Peru is important. Gen. Cas¬ 
tilla has overthrown Rochenvique and taken 
the government into his own hands. The bat¬ 
tle which decided the contest was fought on 
the 5tli of Jan. Rochenvique sought the pro¬ 
tection of the British Minister. Gen. Castilla 
entered Lima in triumph on the afternoon of 
the battle. Lima being taken, a force was 
sent to Callao, and the Castle and Squadron 
were surrendered. 
The dates from Bolivia are to the 27th Dec. 
The rebel Acha had been put down, and those 
engaged pardoned by the Government. An 
extra session of Congress had been called to 
receive the resignation of the President. 
From the Argentine Republic we have dates 
to the 21st Dec. All was quiet throughout 
the Provinces. 
The dates from Valparaiso are to Dec. 30. 
The papers contain no news of interest.

Rural Nkw-Yorrrr Office, ) 
February 14, 1855 j 
The beautiful days that are just now succeeding the 
late cold weather, render our streots very active, altho’ 
the values of market products do not ossantially vary 
from last quotations. Fresh meats, as the season for 
abundant supply recodes, are bringing bettor prices. 
J. S. of Illinois, writes to inquire of us if dried apples 
can really bo purchased in Rochester, at our quotations, 
of six to eight shillings per bushel. If J. S. will go in¬ 
to the street and purchase of the producer, as our deal¬ 
ers do, he will get them at that price, but if he orders 
them of the middle men, who buy to sell again, he will 
pay a shilling more. 
The money market is easy and business prospects for 
the spring promising. The North Star brought in during 
the week $1,239,209. The Pacific, which sailed Feb. 7th, 
took out $513,248, and the Union for Harve, Feh. 10th, 
$125,000 more. There is therefore a surplus of more than 
half a million left at homo. The mining news from Cali 
forma is very favorable.
