Arrival of the Steamship Baltic. 
The Baltic arrived at New York April 6, 
with Liverpool dates to the 24th. She left 
Liverpool the 24th ult., and brings one week’s 
later news from Europe. 
There are no new movements of special in¬ 
terest in the Crimea. The health of the allied 
troops was satisfactory. The English position 
was well fortified, and the Russians had receiv¬ 
ed reinforcements. At an allied council of 
war, held on the 4th, it was resolved to recom¬ 
mence active operations. 
Lord Raglan’s latest despatch is dated March 
8 th, and says :—“The weather was fine and 
dry, and the sick were deriving benefit from 
the change.’’ 
The Vienna Conference has unanimously 
agreed to the first point, placing the Principali¬ 
ties under the Five Powers. It abolishes the 
exclusive protectorate of Russia in Moldavia 
and Wallachia, the privileges accorded to 
those provinces by the Sultan, being placed 
under the guardianship of the five powers.— 
The third point will be the most difficult of 
settlement, but the news from Vienna appears 
to be favorable to peace, and at Paris, people 
are disposed to believe that the conference will 
be attended with a happy result. Count Nes¬ 
selrode will proceed to Vienna, when the ne¬ 
gotiations become critical. 
The Czar Alexander has made several mild 
speeches to the diplomatic body, but strong to 
the army. On the whole, his language was 
interpreted in a pacific sense. 
Nicholas’ death was announced in Sebasto¬ 
pol on the 6th of March. An Anglo-French 
squadron of twenty-five steamers was on its 
way to Genoa, to embark Sardinian troops for 
the Crimea. 
Constantinople letters of March 12 mention 
that continued shocks of earthquakes were 
felt. The sulphur springs of Dransas had been 
dried up, and Mount Olympus smoked like a 
volcano. 
A French hospital at Constantinople had 
been burned to the ground. Ninety-six pris¬ 
oners perished. 
'Tlie Pope had sent an embassy of condolence 
and friendship to Alexander. 
It was reported that Prince Gortscliakoff had 
been ordered from St. Petersburgh, to take 
Eupatoria at any price, and that he was pre¬ 
paring to obey. Letters state that Russian 
preparations indicate an eventual evacuation 
of Bessarabia without a contest. 
Hie Grand Duke Constantine has been given, 
in quality of Grand Admiral, the direction of 
the fleet and ministry of marine. A nocturnal 
levy of troops was made throughout all Russian 
Poland on the night of the 13th. 
The ice was broken up generally in the Bal¬ 
tic, and a flying British squadron, the first in¬ 
stalment of the Baltic fleet, sailed from Spit- 
head for Kiel on the 20th of March. 
The 21st of March was observed as a national 
fast throughout Great Britain. In the House 
of Lords, Lord Lindhurst and Clarendon had 
spoken severely against the vacillating con¬ 
duct of Prussia. The proceedings of the Roe¬ 
buck Committee of Inquiry were drawing to 
a close. 
Arrival of the Star of the West. 
The Star of the West reached New York 
April 3d, with 200 passengers, and $249,000 in 
treasure. She touched at Key West on the 
29th for coal. 
Gen. Esprandi had received Chomoro as 
President of Nicaraugua, and Commander- 
in-chief of the army. The British war steamer 
Devastation was in port at San Juan. 
The California news is of little interest.— 
Business was exceedingly depressed, and money 
affairs very stringent. The rains continued 
and miners were actively engaged. Owing to 
the scarcity of coin, but little dust had been 
bought. The Kern river diggings were attract¬ 
ing thousands, being represented as the richest 
yet discovered. 
Wells, Fargo & Co. were going ahead as for¬ 
merly, while other Bank failures were bad 
ones. At Sonora, depositors broke open the 
vaults themselves, leaving a balance of $8,000. 
Blake, who shot Mowary, a contractor at San 
Francisco, who swindled him out of $1,300, 
has been found guilty of murder, but recom¬ 
mended to mercy. John Tabor, who shot and 
killed Mansfield, of the San Joaquin Republic, 
had been pardoned. 
Nearly every article of merchandise had de¬ 
clined. Haxall flour sold at $12,50. 
Arrival of tlie Illinois. 
The Illinois arrived at New York April 7th, 
bringing about 300 passengers, and $710,000 in 
treasure. 
The California dates are to 16th, brought 
down by the Sonora. The John L. Stevens 
was going into San Francisco when the Sonora 
left. 
None of the suspended Banks had resumed. 
Robinson’s Savings Bank yielded no assets.— 
The deposits amounted to the sum of $207,000. 
He has been arrested on a charge of embezzle¬ 
ment. The affairs of Adams & Co. had come 
before the courts in a variety of shapes. 
The mining news is highly favorable. From 
the Kern River diggings it is getting to be 
rather contradictory. Large amounts of gold 
dust were arriving from the interior. A mons¬ 
ter nugget of gold, weighing 300 pounds, and 
valued at $60,000, is reported to have been 
found at Ship’s Diggings, near Donieville. 
The Sunday bill, prohibiting barbarous and 
noisy amusements on the Sabbath, wanted 
only the Governor’s signature to become a law. 
Other bills for the better regulation of public 
morals were making good headway, and the 
friends of temperance have hopes of passing a 
prohibitory law during the present session. 
Ry the way of Panama we have dates from 
Valparaiso to the 27th of February, Callao, 
March 19th, and Sidney, Australia, to January 
12th. From Chili there is no political news of 
importance. It was rumored that the Ameri¬ 
can Minister was about to return home, leav¬ 
ing the Secretory of Legation to fill his place. 
Admiral Despointe, commander of the French 
squadron in the Pacific, died on board of the 
frigate Laporte the day before she reached 
Callao, and was buried at that place with 
much ceremony. 
The investigation into the late riot at Balar- 
et, Australia, was terminated. The charges 
against the Government officers had been 
proved to be unfounded, while the leaders of 
the dissatisfied miners were merely political 
rowdies. The gold licences were, however, to 
be done away with. 
Business was very dull. Markets overstocked.

Rural New-Yorker Office, | 
April 11, 1855. f 
The grain market remains at about last week’s quota¬ 
tions, with an upward tendency if anything. Some of our 
GOtemporarie3 quoted extra Genesee wheat, a fow days 
since, at $2,55, but we are assured by the dealer who 
made the sale at that figure, that it was a small fancy lot, 
and that the market will not warrant such a quotation. 
Oats are a little stiffer and scarce. 
Smoked hams and shoulders are a cent better. Butter 
and eggs unchanged in price, but scarce and in demand. 
The New York papers, in reference to wool, state that 
the stocks of Domestic Fleece are quite light, and prices 
have improved ; especially the finer grades. The arri¬ 
vals on the increase. Pulled is in largo stock compara¬ 
tively, and in slight request. Foreign is in moderate de¬ 
mand, but the stock being equally so, holders are firm.

CASWELL’S HORSE CORN PLANTER. 
(PATENTED AUGUST 2d, 1853.) 
Tins Machine is pronounced tho best for planting Corn 
now in use. It plants two rows at one time, dropping 
the corn at equal distances. It furrows, drops, and cov¬ 
ers the corn at the same time, and at an even depth ; 
and Is so constructed as to strike a bell every time it 
drops a hill of corn. With this macihne, a man and horse 
could easily plant 20 acres in a day. It will plant in hills 
or drills. 
The small Planter will plant corn, or corn and beans, or 
sow peas in drills.

THE VAN EPS INSTITUTE, 
For Young Ladies, at Vernon, Oneida Co., N. Y. 
S. S. NORTON, A. M., Principal, 
Assisted by Accomplished and Experienced Female leachers. 
The Principal having been urgently solicited during the 
past two or three years, to open a Boarding School for 
Young Ladies’, in the village of Vornon, would respect¬ 
fully announce to the pubdc, that this Institution will 
commence its first term on Monday the 14th of May.— 
The old Homestead of Abram Van Kps, (deceased,) has 
been secured for this object. The location is highly eli¬ 
gible. The Buildings are admirably adapted to a limited 
number of boarding pupils. The grounds are extensive 
and laid out with taste and elegance, and the surround¬ 
ing scenery is pleasant. Vernon i3 justly celebrated for 
the salubrity of its climate, and the moral character of 
its citizens. It is very accessably, being but a short dis¬ 
tance from the N. Y. Central Railroad, and having daily 
communication by stage, with Oneida, Rome, Utica, Clin¬ 
ton and Hamilton. 
The number of boarding pupils which will be received 
into the school during the first session will not exceed 
fifteen. The most vigilant attention will be paid to tho 
manners and morals of the Pupils. They will be required 
to attend public worship on the Sabbath, and a course of 
Biblical instruction. Sectarianism will be strictly avoid¬ 
ed. Making or receiving visits on the Sabbath will not 
bo allowed, nor will the pupils be permitted to leave the 
grounds of the institute at any time in the week, without 
permission from the Principal or Teachers. 
The institution will he thorough, substantial and prac¬ 
tical, rattier than superficial and showy, and it will be 
the object of tho institution to prepare the pupils for the 
every day duties of life. The government will be firm 
and uncompromising, though mild and parental. A strict 
subordination to establish, rules and regulations of the 
institution, and proper deportment, will be the special 
aim of the Principal. The rules of the school and pro¬ 
priety, will be enforced, uot by appeals to fear and force, 
but to reason, conscience, affection, and self-respect . At 
the expiration of each month, the Patrons will be furn¬ 
ished with a report of the deportment, recitations, &o., 
of their daughters, by which they may ascertain their 
standing and proficiency. At the close of each Session 
those young ladies who have distinguished themselves 
by their uniform and exemplary deportment, and pro¬ 
ficiency in their studies will be presented with a Diploma 
or Medal, according to their standing. 
The year will be divided in two Sessions, of twenty-one 
weeks, each commencing the second Monday of May, 
and the second Monday of November. The months of 
April and October, will constitute the regular vacations. 
Terms : —$200 per annum, $100 per Session payable in 
advance, unless otherwise stipulated. This includes Tu¬ 
ition, Board, Washing, Lights and Fuel. An extra charge 
will be made for Painting in Water and Oil colors, Vocal 
and Instrumental Music, French, German, Dancing, Sta¬ 
tionery and Pew-Rent. Pupils may enter at any time du¬ 
ring the year, but not for a less term than one Session 
umess by special agreement, nor will any deduction be 
made for absence except in case of protracted illness.— 
Each pupil furnishes hor own hod and bedding, towels, 
table-napkins, silver napkin ring, fork and toa-spoon, hut 
when parents prefer it, bod and bedding, will be furnish¬ 
ed at an extra charge of $5 per Session. The Pupils must 
bring a complete inventory of every articlo and have 
their names distinctly and indelibly marked in full on 
each. Tho young ladies will bo expected to keop their 
own rooms in neat and perfect order. All of the rooms 
will be Inspected, by one of tho Female Teachers. The 
number of pieces for tho washing will be limited. Parents 
depositing funds with the Principal for necessary expen¬ 
ses, will stipulate what amount shall be allowed for 
spending money. Tho practice which exists somewhat 
extensively among parents and guardians of sending 
boxes of confectionery, pastry, &o., to their children 
from homo, at Boarding Schools, is an exceedingly objec¬ 
tionable one. It is injurious to a healthy physical condi¬ 
tion of the pupil, and induces dissatisfaction and home¬ 
sickness. The Principal trusts that he may have no oc¬ 
casion to complain on this point. 
Daily exercises in the open air, in good weather, will be 
required of all in health. Pupils will occasionally walk 
and ride out in company with one of tho Teachers. The 
Principal holds himself pledged to promote to tho utmost 
of his ability, tho personal comfort, health and happiness 
of his pupils, and to spare no pains to make them tho¬ 
rough and practical scholars.

A limited number of day scholars will be received on 
the following terms.

ATKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER & MOWER. 
Three seasons use of this ingenious, beautiful, and yet 
simple Macqine. furnish convincing proof of practical 
worth. Three Hundred, scattered into nineteen different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
nearly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from fifty to six 
hundred acres, proves it not only strong and servicable, 
but also simple and easily managed. It saves not only 
the hard work of raking, but lays the grain in such good 
order as to save at least another hand in binding. 
It is warranted to be a good, durable, Sklf-Raking 
Reaper, and I have also succeeded in attaching a mowing 
bar, so that I also warrant it as a Mower. 
Price, at Chicago, of Reapers, $170 ; of Mowing Bar, $30.

Terms: — Two Dollars a year, in advance. 
This paper is less local in its character and more wide,

ests in particular, but to the interests of all persons, sec¬ 
tions, and parties in general, preaching peace by Jesus 
Christ.

speak and act for himself, even though he may not think 
and speak and act with the Editors. 
Its resources from which to enrich its columns are 
unequaled. It furnishes a variety for family reading 
equal to any other. Its articles on the money market 
are from the highest and most reliable source. While it 
furnishes weekly three columns of reading matter from 
those who are engaged in revising the Scriptures, such 
as can be found in no other paper in the world, and such 
as no pastor or intelligent Christian should be without.
