Arrival of tha S':. Louis and Canada 
Tiir steamer St. Louis arrived at New York 
and the Canada at Halifax on the 1st inst. 
Among the passengers by the St. Louis was 
the Hon. Pierre Soule, Ex-Minister to Spain. 
The Paris correspondent of the Daily News 
says Mr. Soule considers the scheme for the 
purchase of Cuba completely knocked on the 
head. 
Parliament was to re-asscmble on the 16th. 
Lord John Russell was to leave England in a 
few days to attend a Peace Conference, as 
British Plenipotentiary. Easterly winds had 
prevailed along the English coast, and no ves¬ 
sels were arriving. The weather bad been 
severe, and much distress prevailed in Liver¬ 
pool in consequence of the dullness of trade 
and inability of the laboring classes to obtain 
employment. 
The latest dates from Sebastopol are to Feb. 
8 . Several sorties have been made and re¬ 
pulsed. The Allies are expecting an attack 
from the Russians in tiic field. The French 
army is to be divided, and one-half given to 
Pellisser and the other to Bosque—thus render¬ 
ing Canrobcrt a mere cipher. It is rumored 
that Lord Raglan and Earl Lucan are about to 
return home. Admiral Dundas has been ap¬ 
pointed to the command of the allied fleet in 
the Baltic. Seymour is the second in com¬ 
mand and Bayncr is the third. Naples sends 
to the Crimea a fleet and land force equal to 
that furnished by Sardinia. Rumors are cur¬ 
rent that Spain, Portugal and other powers are 
about to join the Allies. Extensive warlike 
preparations are making all over Europe.— 
Austria is negotiating in England for a $15,- 
000,000 loan. Sweden continues her military 
operations- Most of tho smaller Germanic 
States have their armies nearly complete. The 
Swiss Federal Government preserves its neu¬ 
trality, and continues to forbid enlistments for 
foreign service. Prussia sends a circular to 
her diplomatic agents indicating that the en¬ 
tire Prussian army will be immediately made 
ready for the field. 
The Emperor Nicholas has issued a Ukase 
calling tho whole population of Russia to arms. 
This is remarked as a menace in reply to the 
appointment of Lord Palmerston to the head 
of the English Government. The Journal de 
St. Petersburgh of February 3d, contains an 
address from the Czar to the Hetman of the 
Don Cossacks, expressing his confidence that 
they will fight courageously for the church, 
the throne and the country. 
The following is from Warsaw: ‘ * The treaty 
concluded between Russia and the United 
States, relative to the commerce of neutrals, 
is published. The treaty is left open for the 
adhesion of other States.” 
Feb. 8 th.—Menschikoff telegraphs that the 
general situation is unchanged. 
Gen. Neil, who arrived at the camp on the 
27th of January, has reported to the Emperor 
that the situation of the French army is on 
the whole good, and that the British is not 
quite so bad as reported. 
The British army estimates for the current 
year have been published. The total number 
of men in the British army, including foreign 
auxiliaries and excluding India, is put down 
at 104,000 men. The expenses have been 
£13,500,000 sterling. Last year they were on¬ 
ly £7,000,000 sterling. The proposed increase 
of force is 36,000 men. A new department of 
the army is to be enrolled for land transport ' 
service. The enlistment to be for,,five years 
and pay good. The British Government have 
concluded a large contract for provisions at 
Dantzic at high prices. 
A French company had offered to raise in 1 
France a legion, consisting of from 10.000 to : 
25,000 men, for the service of the English 
Government—half the number to be ready in 
15 days. It is stated that the English Govern¬ 
ment is disposed to entertain the proposition 
favorably. i 
The India mail brings dates from Hong Kong 1 
to Dec. 19th. The Burmese envoy had de¬ 
manded the restitution of Pegu, which was 1 
peremptorily refused. At Canton matters were 1 
still threatening and trade lightly pressed. A , 
monetary crisis was considered probable at i 
Calcutta. 
Liverpool Market. —For Breadstuffs, very 
dull demand existed, and prices of all descrip¬ 
tions were a shade lower than the quotations 
advised by the Baltic. Western Canal flour 
was quoted by Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co. 
at 42s 6d, and mixed Canal 43s. 
The provision market showed but little 
change from the rates of the previous week 
and business was generally dull. 
]i)felikjei()ce. 
Arrival of the Daniel Webster. 
The steamer Daniel Webster, from San Juan, 
arrived at New Orleans Feb. 28, bringing dates 
from California to the 9th inst. 
The Webster connected with the steamship 
Cortez, which sailed from San Francisco on 
the afternoon of the 9th inst., bringing about 
half a million of specie on freight, most of 
which was transhipped to the steamer Star of 
the West, which sailed from San Juan for New 
York on Friday, the 23d inst. The Cortez 
brought one hundred and seventy passengers, 
thirty-two of whom arrived here in the Daniel 
Webster. 
The Legislature of California has made an¬ 
other attempt to elect a United States Senator, 
being the forty-fourth ballot for that purpose. 
This ballot, like its predecessors, resulted in 
no choice. A meeting of native Californians 
was held at San Francisco on the 7th inst., to 
consider the expediency and to take all neces¬ 
sary measures for a wholesale migration to 
Sonora, in order to escape the heavy taxes of 
the State, which seem to be generally consid¬ 
ered oppressive. 
The mining interest continues to suffer 
greatly for want of water, the recent rains 
having furnished but a very limited supply. 
In the interior, the miners are anxiously 
awaiting the arrival of weather adapted to 
their labors. 
In the market, a better feeling was exhibited 
for some merchandise, especially in provisions. 
For the inferior grades the demand was light, 
and no cash sales were reported. 
The Isthmus is reported as being healthy. 
The revolution in Central America is pro¬ 
gressing, and Chomorro had achieved an im¬ 
portant advantage over Gov. Oristillo.

CLOVER AND TIMOTHY SEED SOWER. 
The above cut represents a very desirable hand imple¬ 
ment for sowing Clover and Timothy seed. It is a simple 
hopper, ton feet long, with zinc bottom perforated with 
holes at equal distances. The seed is distributed by a 
notched rod, which is vibrated by means of a lever at¬ 
tached to the top of the hoppor. It sows the seed accu¬ 
rately, and is so arranged as to sow any dosired quantity, 
from 2 to 16 quarts per acre. 
Warranted to give satisfaction. They can be forwarded 
to any part of the country, by Railroad or Stage. Re¬ 
mittances by mail at my risk. All orders (which should 
give full directions for forwarding) promptly attended to.

E. S. Hayward, Esq., a well-known farmer of this coun¬

lished last spring in this paper, thus speaks of this im¬ 
plement : 
“ It is very important that sowing be well and evenly 
done. I have thought that the hand was the heft ma¬ 
chine for sowing, until this spring, 1 was inducod to try 
the Timothy and Clover seed sower, and must say un¬ 
hesitatingly that it worked to my perfect satisfaction. A 
man can oasily sow twenty-five acres por day, and sow 
any quantity, from two to sixteen oi more quarts per acre. 
It sows Timothy and Clover equally well, and distributes 
it evenly over the surface, by working a small lever with 
the right hand.” 270-lt

A CHARMING FIRESIDE STORY. 
THE CONTINUED DEMAND FOR 
IDA MAY, 
Shows that it has awakened a deep and lasting interest 
in the reading pubiic. The novelist too often brings ideas 
to the youthful mind, which, though veiled under deco¬ 
rous phrases, are most pernicious in their influence. The 
author of this story has written with a sense of respon¬ 
sibility upon her, and there is not a page between the 
covers to which the most scrupulous parent could object. 
A cheerful piety animates tho wholo story, without mo- 
rosenoss or cant, or philosophical skepticism.

to youthful dissipation ; easy of access by railroad ; and 
in te’egraphic communication with all parts of the 
country. 
2. Young ladies and gentlemen occupy separate edi¬ 
fices. and enjoy, in the families of the Professors, the su¬ 
pervision of well ordered Christian Homes. The health, 
manners and morals of students are all attended to with 
parental solicitude. 
3. The courses of instruction, embracing ton depart¬ 
ments, with an experienced Professor or Teacher at the 
head of each, are thorough, extensive, and eminently 
practical. 
Young men wishing to study Analytical and Agricultu¬ 
ral Chemistry , will find here every practicable aid for do¬ 
ing so to every desirable extent.

The graduation course for young ladies is adapted to fit 
them for them for tho responsibilities of American women. 
In the department of Instrumental Music , the pianos used 
are of the finest quality and kept in perfect order. 
'The Seminary employs no second grade toacliers, but 
the elementary and higher classes receive alike the in¬ 
structions of the same Professors. 
4. Tho edifice, containing the recitation, library, and 
society rooms, is one of the largest, most commodious 
and best finished school structures in Western New York.

Tub illustrations for this volume are nearly"completed ■ 
the manuscript is in tho hands of the printer, and will

The advantages which Mr. Korn has had in acquiring 
a practical knowledge of his business, in his early edu¬ 
cation at the Jardin des Plantes of Parts, and in the Gar¬ 
dens of St. Cloud and Versailles, during the reign of Louis 
Philippo, give assurance of his fitness for executing tho 
task ho has undertaken, whilo the positions he has held 
in this country, and (among others that might be named) 
the charge of embellishing the grounds at the recent 
Ohio State Fair, at Newark, attest the estimate placed 
upon his capabilities by practical men. 
The book is eminently practical, and adaptod to the 
wants of thousands of practical people in every portion 
of tho Union, who desire hints and suggestions to aid 
them in Ornamonting their promises. Hie needed help 
may now be had, at small cost—narrated in a pure Eng¬ 
lish style—by obtaining this work from a neighboring 
bookseller, or by remitting the $1,50 by mail. The work, 
when published, will be sent by mail, postage pre-paid.
