MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL, LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER.

foPeigi) J^eliigeijce, 
Arrival of the Washington and America. 
The steamship Washington arrived at New 
York and the America at Halifax on the 12th 
instant. 
Odessa advices of the 24th ult. state that 
the Russians, in spite of repeated attacks, 
maintained their position on Mount Seponne, 
whence their guns play upon the French mines 
and upon a part of the camp. The weather 
continues very fine, and the health of the 
troops has improved. The advance batteries 
of the British were making considerable pro¬ 
gress, according to the information of desert¬ 
ers. The Emperor’s death had not been pro¬ 
mulgated at Sebastopol. 
Projects for converting Sinope into a strong 
fort, and for erecting extensive land and sea 
fortifications in Sebastopol, were favored by 
the British Government. Omer Pasha arrived 
of the allied camp on the 12th, and on the 13th 
the Russians opened fire from the heights of 
Balaklava. The English, assisted by General 
Knoyes, routed them. On the 14th, the Tur¬ 
kish cavalry at Eupatoria made a sortie and 
were repulsed. On the night of the 15th the 
French troops carried a line of the ambuscades 
occupied by Russian sharp-shooters, and at the 
same time the Russians made a sortie and were 
repulsed with 60 men, hors du combat. On 
the 17th the Russians attacked the whole lino 
of the allies, and were driven back with great 
l0S8. 
The alliance between Sardinia and the Porte 
was signed on the 15th. Preparations con¬ 
tinue to be made at Constantinople to receive 
Napoleon. In the meantime, both he and the 
Empress are to visit Queen Victoria, on the 
16th of April. A despatch to the Moniteur 
says that 50,000 additional troops were neces¬ 
sary, after the Conference, provided England 
furnishes means of conveyance. 
The main interest of the news settles in the 
Vienna Conference. The momentous third 
point stopped the way, and each Plenipoten¬ 
tiary had to refer to head quarters for further 
instruction. The demolition of Sebastopol 
was not demanded, but a reduction of Rus¬ 
sian power in the Black Sea was allied for, the 
recompense being the withdrawal of the allies 
from Russian territory. Gortschakoff said he 
had no instructions to treat on such a propo¬ 
sition, and remitted the matter to St. Peters¬ 
burg, whence a reply was anxiously looked 
for. M. Drouym del Huys, French Minister 
of Foreign Affairs, had been in London to 
consult with the English Cabinet, and would 
proceed to Vienna with the irrevocable deter¬ 
mination of the allies on the third point. 
The difficulties between Austria and Prussia 
are increasing. Prussia has issued a very hos¬ 
tile circular in regard to the actions of Aus¬ 
tria. Sweden is fitting out a fleet provisioned 
for three months. 
Dantzic advices of the 17th report that nav¬ 
igation had opened there, and at Riga the ice 
remained firm. The bulk of the British Bal¬ 
tic fleet were at Spithead, and expected to sail 
with Admiral Dundas in command, on the 2d 
April. 
In the British House of Commons Mr. Phinn 
moved an address to the Queen, praying that 
in the peace negotiations exertions should be 
made for the reconstitution of Poland. After 
a debate, in which Lord Palmerston opposed 
the motion on the ground of creating further 
difficulties, it was withdrawn. The commit¬ 
tee of inquiry into the cmduct of the war 
continued its sessions, and the revelation be¬ 
came still more appalling. Parliament had 
agreed to Sardinia’s request for a loan of 2,- 
000,000 sterling ; 1,000,000 would be imme¬ 
diately advanced from the public treasury, and 
the other million a year hence, if necessary. 
Liverpool Markets. —Breadstuff's, with the 
exception of Indian corn, has undergone a 
slight decline, and a general dullness pervaded 
the market. Provisions, also, were somewhat 
depressed, and quotations rather lower than 
advised by the Baltic. 
The London money market was easier, and 
consols show a slight advance, the closing fig¬ 
ure being 93§. 
Western Canal flour was quoted at 36s a 39s. 
Baltimore and Philadelphia 42s a 43s for old 
and 36s a 40s for new. Ohio nominal at 39s a 
44s. White wheat 11s 6d a 12s 3d. Red and 
mixed 10s a 10s 9d. Mixed corn 42s 6d. Yel¬ 
low 43s. White 42s a 43s. 
6giifoh)ig ]n)telligci)ee. 
Arrival of the Prometheus. 
The steamship Prometheus arrived at New 
Orleans April 13th, with dates from San Fran¬ 
cisco to the 24th ult. Business generally was 
dull, although rain had much improved the 
mines. 
Wells, Fargo & Co. had resumed payment, 
and Page, Bacon & Co. would also resume on 
the 24th. The failures of Dr. Wright, and of 
Adams & Co., were bad. 
Robinson, the Ex-Banker, has been indicted 
for fraud. 
Capt. Cropper, of the steamship Cortez, died 
in San Francisco on the 23d of March. 
Arrival of the Northern Light. 
The steamship Northern Light arrived at 
New York April 13, with details of California 
news received per Prometheus via New Or¬ 
leans. The specie list amounts to $168,000. 
No news of special interest. 
But very little of any interest has transpir¬ 
ed in Central America since the death of Cho- 
moro. The Democratic army in Leon consists 
of about 2,000 soldiers, and are commanded 
by General Munos, who is an officer of un¬ 
doubted bravery. He is expecting an early at¬ 
tack by the legitimists, under Gen. Corral, who 
has an army of 5,000 men under him. 
It was reported and generally believed that 
about 150 of Col. Walker’s emigrants left San 
Francisco about the middle of March in a 
small vessel, bound to some port in Central 
America. Col. Walker and a large number of 
his followers were actively but privately pre¬ 
paring to follow, and had chartered vessels 
for that purpose. He will unite his forces 
with General Munos, and it was generally 
thought that they would effect some veiy im¬ 
portant changes in Central America, and es¬ 
pecially Nicaragua. 
The Nicaragua Steamship company have dis¬ 
covered a valuable coal mine about 25 miles 
from San Juan del Norte, and within one mile 
from the coast. 
The miners were generally doing well, 
though owing to the great scarcity of coin, 
with which to purchase the dust, but little 
gold was forwarded. The Kern river mines had 
disappointed expectations, and many were re¬ 
turning disgusted and discouraged. 
Page, Bacon & Co. announced that they 
would resume business on the 29th ult. 
A prohibitory liquor bill would, it was con¬ 
fidently expected, pass the Legislature during 
the present session. The members of the San 
Francisco delegation of the Legislature had 
given notice of an intention to introduce a 
bill to abolish the city government at San 
Francisco, and appoint Trustees to regulate its 
affairs. 
Since the last steamer, business has been 
languid, and little change has taken place in 
prices. In some instances sales have been 
made at a reduction. Owing to the money 
pressure many goods have been thrust upon 
the market for cash or short time for what 
they would bring. 
There has been considerable operations in 
flour during the week, but most of the trans¬ 
actions have been private. Haxall flour has 
been quoted at $15.

Have scattered to the remotest quarters of the Union ; 
but wherever they are. they will never forget the scenes 
of their nativity, in the valleys of the great rivers, and 
in the still receding country which we call THE WB'T, 
they will revert to the farm-house, with its tall well- 
sweep ; the littie red school-house, with the stern, birch- 
sceptered master ; and to the solemn old meeting-house, 
with its associations of Puritan Sabbaths.

Price, $1,25. 
Combined with the steel-like imagination, is a rare ac¬ 
tivity of the reflective powers, showing a mind intent on 
the attainment of tlr>t principles, accustomo l to grapple 
with tho most perplexing problems, and seeking tho hid¬ 
den law of being under every veil of appearance. This 
trait givos a substantial, masculine character to the 
work, which howover is at war with tho taste of profes¬ 
sed novel readers, merely in search of facile amusement, 
will insure it both an elevated rank and a protracted date, 
beyond the reach of the ephemeral novelties, which flash 
and fade in a single season.— N. Y. Tribune. 
Every chapter is replete with wisdom, and brilliant in 
gems of poetic beauty. Wo do not know when we have 
s ien a book of so much depth and so little pretence.— 
The author is capable of the largest range of physical in¬ 
vestigation, and the most effective de iverences of its re¬ 
sults. Hawthorne has a freor use of tho dictionary of 
correspondence, and a finer power of al egory, but he is 
tho only writer of Action in this country who outranks 
the author of “ Getting Along ” in his own vein.— Na¬

12mo. Price, $1,25. 
It is not only far beyond the general run of what are 
cal ed, by courtesy, American novels, but it is superior 
to many books that have sold by tens of thousands. It 
has positive merits of a high order. The dialogue, inci¬ 
dents, and characters are natural, and as a whole, it is au 
impressive production .—Boston Post. 
You cannot finish five pages of this work (unless your 
heart be hard as adamant) without finding all tho home 
feelings stirred within you, and you read on and on. un¬ 
conscious of aught beside, unwilling to lay it by, until the 
last line in finished. It opens with all the sweet simplic¬ 
ity of Goldsmitn’s Deserted Village .—llbany Spectator. 
The story is beautifully told, and tho characters are 
types of moral loveliness. No one can read and ponder 
it, without tho tears starting unhidden to tho eye and 
sympathising hope irradiating tho countenance.— Bing-

The lover of the country, who knows its scenes and 
duties, who can delight in the gambols of the young colt 
in tho meadows, or enjoys the sweet perfume from the 
hay cock, tho breath of the cud-chewing cow—better still, 
he who can swing a scythe, a cradle, or turn a smooth 
furrow, will undoubtedly relish this simple narrative of 
country life, and the pure, unadulterated native Ameri¬ 
can m inuors and customs therein described .—Newark

It will cut and spread 15 acres of grass in a day, with 
ease, and it is warranted not to clog. It cuts wet grass 
equally as well as dry, and fine as well as coarse. It has 
two wheels, and a “cam” motion, and no side draft. It 
can be conveyed from place to place with as much facili¬ 
ty as a wagon. This Machine was awarded a silver medal 
at the New York State Agricultural Fair in New York last 
fall. As the supply is limited, and the demand large, 
please send in your orders soon. Annexed i.s a certificate 
of B. B. Kirtland, Esq., Treasurer of N. Y . State Agricul¬ 
tural Society: 
Dear Sir — I used Fisk Russell’s Mowing Machine on 
my farm, last season, and mowed aboul 60 acres of vari¬ 
ous kinds of grass, from coarse timothy to short, fine 
grass, both green and ripe. I have no hesitation in say¬ 
ing that in ail its performance, that is, ease ef draft, not 
ob/gging, and the perfection of tho cut, it is tiie best ma¬ 
chine 1 ever saw. B. B. Kirtland.

will eut all kinds of grain, on side hill3 as well as on level

twenty acres is the usual day’s work, delivered in good 
order for binding. Price $125. Warranted and on trial.

THE CONCORD GRAPE. 
Messrs. HOVEY & CO., No. 7, Merchants’ Row, Boston, 
are again sending out 
MR. BULL’S NEW AND SUBERIOR GRAPE, 
The stock of which has been placed in their hands for 
salo. This very reraakable American variety is the 
greatest acquisition that has ever yet been made to our 
hardy native grapes. It is sufficiently hardy to with¬ 
stand tho coldest climate, and early enough to ripen its 
fruit in any part of the Northern or New England States. 
It is four weeks earlier than the Isabella, and about two 
weeks earlier than the Diana. It is fully ripe from the 
3d to the 10th of September, and fine specimens have 
been exhibited the la.-1 two years, at that date, bofore 
the Mass. Hort. Society. 
It is a most vigorous growing vine, perfectly hardy 
with hunches of large size, handsomely shouldered of¬ 
ten weighing a pound, and with large roundish oval ber¬ 
ries, frequently measuring an inch ih diameter; color 
vory dark, covered with a thick blue bloom ; fle-’h soft 
tender and juicy ; flavor very rich and luscious with a 
fine sprightly aroma. The foliage is large broad and 
thick: and tho berries have never been known to mildew 
rot, or drop off, under any circumstances, during the five 
years since it has borne fruit. Good judges who have 
tasted it pronounce it superior to the Isabella in its ripest 
condition. 
The following testimony we select from a multitude of 
letters received from pomologists and cultivators who 
taster! the grapes the last autumn : 
“ Our Concord grapes we purchased of you last spring 
have grown finely; we think it a norlk grape, and will 
have a great run.”— Geo. Seymour & Co., South Norwalk, 
Conn. 
“They gave tho utmost satisfaction, and every good 
judge of fruit said they were decidedly better than the 
Isabella.”— J. D. Ingersoll, Prion, N. Y. 
1 Possesses in a high degree the essential properties 
of a porfect grape.”— T. Reynolds, See. Farmers' Club. 
“ The most beautiful new hardy grape is undoubtedly 
the Concord.”—./. F. Allen, in Rep, of Mass. Hort. Soc. 
“We regare this grape as an important acquisition.” 
Horticulturist, Dec., 1854. 
“ Its early ripening alone ought to secure it a place in 
every garden.”— N. Y. Tribune. 
“ As a hardy vine, and an early, large and showy 
fruit for market, we shall not probably find anything to 
compete at the North with the Concord grap c.’’—Country 
Gentleman. 
‘In appearance, larger and finer than the Isabella, 
and quite as pleasant in their flavor .”—Ohio Farmer.
