MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL LITERARY AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER 
179 
foreign) Ji)felllgei)ce, 
Arrival of the America. 
The royal mail steamship America, Captain 
Lang, arrived at Halifax May 24, with dates 
from Liverpool of the 12th ult , one week 
later than reoeived by the Baltic at New Y ork. 
The week's budget of news is very meagre, 
reporting no event of importance. Before Se¬ 
bastopol affairs were in much the same condi¬ 
tion as at the department of the Baltic, al¬ 
though some trivial successes for the allies 
have in trie interim been recorded. 
Idle tone of public sentiment appears to 
have resolved itself into the conviction that 
the war would be a protracted one, and with¬ 
out hope of assistance from Austria. 
Several extensive failures in commercial cir¬ 
cles in Liverpool were spoken of privately, 
just prior to the departure of the America, but 
no names had transpired. 
M. Druyn del Huys, the French Minister of 
War, had resigned, from an unwillingness to 
prolong the war. Count Waleinski, embassa¬ 
dor to London, takes his place and M. Peosi- 
quv goes to London. Other changes were ru¬ 
mored 
All the documents connected with the Vien¬ 
na conference had been laid before the British 
Parliament. 
Puirmri, who attempted to assassinate Louis 
Napoleon, ha« been condemned to death. The 
Paris Police claims to have discovered a se¬ 
cret revolutionary design, with ramifications 
throughout Europe, in connection with this 
affair. 
The emigrant ship John, from Plymouth, 
for Quebec” has been wrecked and 190 lives 
were lo*t. 
Sebastopol dates are down to the 10th of 
Mav, but the operations of the week appear 
to have been wholly unimportant. Canrobert 
gave notice of his intention to extend his op¬ 
eration on the ariival of reinforcements. Gen. 
M irm >ra, with 4.000 Sardinian troops, had 
arrived at the Crimea. The allies’ advances 
are represented as slow but sure. The Rus¬ 
sians had made two desperate sorties on the 
10th, but were repulsed with serious loss. 
Notice of resolutions, deploring the failure 
of negotiations and declaring it as the opinion 
of Parliament that the opposing of Russia was 
such as to afford a fair prospect for peace, were 
offered in the House of Lords by Earl Gray, 
and in the Commons by Milliner Gibson. On 
t|je other hand it is stoutly denied that Rus¬ 
sia ever was earnest in her desires for peace. 
All hopes of an Austrian Alliance had been 
abandoned, and a declaration of complete neu¬ 
trality from that power was looked for. 
The British Baltic fleet was working its way 
up Gothland as the ice permitted. It is stated 
that an American ship had reached a Baltic 
port with 8,000 bales of cotton, 50,000 rifles, 
and 5,000 revolvers on board. 
St. Petersburg letters mention that other 
American vessels were looked for at Cron- 
stivdt, but with what description of cargo is 
not stated. 
In Austria, the grain growing districts on 
the banks of the river Theiss, to the extent of 
1,200 square miles, were inunda,ed, aud fears 
were entertained of the destruction of the 
crops. 
The Spanish Cortes, Senor Avecilla, declared 
in the name of the Democratic party, that it 
never entered into any negotiations with Mr. 
Soule for the sale of Cuba. 
The French Council of State were con-ider- 
ing the expediency of a new loan of 100,000,- 
000 of francs 
Arrival of the George Law. 
The steamship George Law arrived at New 
York May 24, with California dates to Mav 1st, 
and $1,324,025 in treasure, and 817 passengers. 
The news was brought down on the Pacific by 
the steamer Golden Gate, which reports'of 
seeing the steamer Sonora going into San 
Francisco. 
California news generally unimportant. The 
adjournment of the Legislature had been post¬ 
poned. Nothing had been done in regard to 
the Senatorial question. 
An act to levy a capitation tax on every 
Chinaman arriving in the State, had passed 
the Legislature. The bill to take the State 
Prison from tiie hands of the lessees had been 
adopted. The bill to incorporate the city of 
San Francisco had passed both Houses, but 
they did not exactly tally in their provisions. 
The Walker Expedition to Central America 
had not sailed, but preparations were making 
for their early departux-e. 
The U. S. Land Commissioner had rejected 
five claims held by Jose Liman tour, under 
alleged Mexican titles, for more than one 
thousand square miles of land in the State, 
and it was supposed that under the decision in 
these cases, the similar claims of Liiuantour 
to 6.000 acres in the city limits of San Fran¬ 
cisco, would be rejected. 
I. A. Phillips had been hung by Lynch law, 
for killing J. McJames on Indian Creek. A 
full average of other murders and crimes is 
reported. 
A Congregational church had been consecra¬ 
ted at the mission at Dolores, the pastor, Rev. 
J. E. Benter, having with his own hands as¬ 
sisted in its erection. 
Sandwich Islands dates to April 16tlx. L. 
Swan, of the firm of Swan & Clifford, had 
been detected in circulating $44,000 worth nf 
forged whalers’ bills. It was supposed his 
total operations would reach $100,000. Both 
parties had absconded before the developments. 
One of the local assay offices had issued a 
new $50 ingot, resembling the U. S. $20 pieces. 
The steamer Golden Aire., whose wreck was 
reported by the last ariival, had been got off 
and towed to IVbago, where she was beached. 
A returning Californian had been robbed of 
about 180 ounces of gold dust at Hunter’s ho¬ 
tel, Aspiuwall, notwithstanding he deposited 
it in the safe of the hotel. 
An important bill, reducing port duties, 
had been passed by the California Legislature. 
Ban Kuan cisco Markets. —Trade had consid¬ 
erably improved in regard to amount sold, but 
prices continued very low. Large exports of 
flour and graiu were being made for Australia, 
and the clipper ship Chaomer was taking in a 
cargo of California wheat, purchased at 75c. 
]>er bu. for New York. The following were 
the closing prices:—Waxall flour, jobbing sales 
at $13,50; lard in kegs, 13&o; choice beef, 18; 
butter new, ranges from 30 to 40c; hams 18c; 
clear pork, $17, 
Wreck of an Emigrant Ship. 
On Saturday, shortly before the closing of 
Lloyd’s, a painful sensation prevailed by the 
receipt of a telegraphic message from Fal¬ 
mouth, announcing a dreadful shipwreck on 
the westward of that port, by an emigrant 
ship going ashore on the rocks off St. Keoohe, 
with 350 emigrants on board, and that nearly 
all the passengers were drowned. Subsequent 
telegraph messages received on Satuiday eve¬ 
ning from Falmouth gave the following details 
respecting the, loss : 
The John, it appears, sailed from Plymouth 
on Thursday afteruoou, with 210 emigrants 
for Quebec, ami encountered a heavy gale of 
wind from the North-East to the Westward o 
the Eddystone, and got closer in toward the 
land than the captain was aware of, for in 
making for the Blackhead-headland, he ran 
the ship upon a dangerous reef of rocks called 
the “Manacles,” situate a short distance from 
the coast. It occurred between ten and eleven 
o’clock on Friday night, the wind blowing 
heavily at the time, and a tremendous sea 
lashing the coast. 
In a few minutes she was got off, but the 
captain found she was fast filling, evidently 
having stove in her bottom ; aud as the only 
chance of saving life, he ran her ashore, 
where site went down within 21)0 feet from the 
coast. The water was shallow, and the deck 
was above water, but the tide, which was 
about two-thirds flood, was fast running in, 
and would soou cover her up to nearly her 
maint >p. A great number, with the crew, 
took to the rigging, but the bulk of the un¬ 
fortunate passengers were swept off the wreck 
by the fearful seas that rolled over it, and in 
this way it is uud-srstood that nearly 200 met 
with a watery grave. 
The Supply of Flour. 
Tub New York Price Current of May, esti¬ 
mates the quantity of flour on hand as follows 
—reducing wheat to its equivalent in flour: 
From Lake Michigan, 270,000 bids. ; Lake 
Erie, 150,000; Canada, 280,000. Making a 
total of 700,000 bbls. The Price Current 
thinks 200,000 bbls. will be required in the 
country. A St. Louis correspondent of the 
Tribune, thinks this calculation an erroneous 
one. He says he has trustworthy data for 
stating that there was in store, about the 
middle of April, at Chicago, Milwaukee, Ken¬ 
osha an I Racine, Waukegan, Sheboygan and 
Grand Haven, 1,330.000 bushels of wheat, and 
1,200,000 there in the hands of farmers for 
sale, making 2,530,000 bushels, which, put 
into flour at five bushels per bbl., would 
amount to 506,000 bbls. There were also in 
store 80,000 bbls. flour, and in the hands of 
millers. 70,000 ; making from Lake Michigan 
alone, 656,000 bbls. flour. Lake Erie will give 
300,000 bbls.; Canada, 500,(MiO bbls.; making 
an aggregate of 1,456,000 bbls., which does 
not look much like famine. The prospects 
throughout the country are cheering, and 
there is yet no ground for alarm about a short 
supply. 
A Missing Sermon. —The following occur¬ 
rence took place at the Old South Church on 
Sunday week. The veneraifle Dr. Lyman 
Beecher was supplying the pulpit, and in the 
afternoon placing his manuscript sermon in 
the Bible he turned over the leaves to another 
part of the book to read his text. In th** 
m -antime he forgot where he had placed his 
sermon, and when he wished to begin its de¬ 
livery, it was so nicely placed between the 
leaves that he did not discover it. He looked 
un ier the Bible anil around the desk, aud even 
peeped over the front of the pulpit to see if it. 
had not fallen over, but all in vain, and the 
Doctor begau to exhibit evident sigus of anx¬ 
iety. A man seated iu the gallery, aud who 
saw clearly the cause of his embarrassment 
applied an effectual remedy, by rising and 
saying, “ Dr. Beecher, it’s in the Bible it's 
in the Bible.” The Doctor renewed bis 
search, and in a moment was ready lor the de¬ 
livery of his sermon .—Boston Trav.

T ate News from tiie Rio Grande. —The New 
Orleans Delta of Saturday, says: We find in 
the True American of the 12th instant, pub¬ 
lished at Goliad, Texas, the following pata- 
graph : 
By the kindness of H. Clay Davis, who left 
the Rio Grande ou Monday last, we learn that 
another revolution has hrnke out in Mexico 
About fifteen hundred soldiers had crossed the 
river headed by Garza, Ex-Governor of Ta 
maulipas, Caperstran, Caravajal, O’Campoand 
J. M. Canal* s. Their detention thus long has 
been in consequence of their waiting ttie urti- 
val of Robes lrom New Orleans, who was re¬ 
cently banished from Mexico by Sauia Anna. 
Barbaric Jewelry. —The N. Y. Evening 
Post mention that the operators at the Assay 
Office have lately melted up a curious deposit 
of several hundred gold nose and ear rings, 
such as are worn by the negroes of the Afri¬ 
can coast. These rings are made of four 
twisted strings of goliI, wound round each 
other, like the strands of an ordinary cord.— 
The perfect circle is bn-ken so as to allow the 
ornaments to clinch the ear or the cartilage of 
the nose, without perforating. They are gen¬ 
erally of very rude manufacture, though of a 
fine quality of gold. The value of the deposit 
was about $l,4o0. 
Not Much Difference.— The Providence 
Journal relates that a lady in Newport, while 
sittiug at the yvindow of her own house nar¬ 
rowly escaped being shot by a blundering 
“ spoi tsman”—that is the word, we brlieve— 
who was tiying to kill a poor robin. Some of 
the shot passed through the window and came 
very near her, hut none of them hit her. We 
suppose it was an accident, but we do not see 
yvhy a man who can take pleasure in shooting 
a robin should feel ureat compunction in firing 
at a woman.— Buff. Cour. 
The Commissioners of the Canal Fund have

KETCHUM'S MOWER. 
Thb subscribers would inform their patrons and the 
public, that they are the sole authorized Agents for this 
city and vicinity for the sale of the above Machine. 
All desiring Mowers, who can obtain them direct from 
this point, should send in their orders early, that they 
may be placed on file, stating time to be delivered, as 
the supply will be limited, and early orders only will 
secure them beyond disappointment. 
The Two-Horse Mower made in Buffalo will be furnish¬ 
ed to all orders except in New England. Tho*e ordering 
Two-Horse Mowers from New England, will be supplied 
with those made in Worcester, Mass. The One-Horse 
Mower, capable of cutting a swarth three and a half feet 
wide, will be furnished to all ordering them. They otter 
them on the most favorable terms, and with renewed 
assurance of their utility. With the recent improve¬ 
ments in their manufacture, they are without doubt the 
best, it not the only well-established Mowers now before 
the public.

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 satisfhetion, 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, hut lays the grain in such good 
order as to save at least another hand in binding. 
It is warranted to be a good, durable, Ski-p-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. 
Discount on the Reaper. $15 ; and on Mowing Rar, $5 for 
cash in advance, or on delivery. Price of Mower $120
