Arrival of tile Steamer Pacific. 
The steamship Pacific arrived at New York 
May 30th, unannounced, owing to the dense 
fog’. She brings 135 passengers—among them 
Hon. R. McLane, late U. S. Commissioner to 
China. 
The Siege of Sebastopol makes but little if 
any progress. The latest dates by mail are to 
April 30th, and by telegraph, so far as pub¬ 
lished, to the 12th of May. Gen. Canrobert 
had reviewed the entire French army, and as¬ 
sured them he would soon enter Sebastopol, 
either by the door or window. Symptoms 
have transpired of extended operations about 
to be commenced on the part of the Allies. A 
force of 15,000 Turks, French and English 
hastily embarked on board all the available 
ships near Sebastopol, and stood away in the 
direction of the Sea of Azoff. They returned 
in a day or two and hastily disembarked. 
A despatch of May 1st sat s : “ Advances are 
approaching surely though slowly.” Lord 
Riglan’s despatch of the same day says the 
Russians had constructed a new battery on the 
left of the Mamelon, and there was every ap¬ 
pearance of the establishment of a large camp 
in the Plateau above the Balbeck, on the north 
side, exten 'ing towards McKenzie’s farm. 
The Russians made a sortie on the night of 
the 11th of May, on the advanced works of 
the left attack, but were immediate'y repuls¬ 
ed, with considerable loss. A short truce was 
granted on the evening of the 10th, to allow 
the Russians to bury their dead in front of the 
Allies’ Advances. 
The French Government is understood to 
have received despatches announcing heavy 
rains, and that the tr< nebes were full of water, 
thereby suspending operations. 
Count Caronini, the Austrian coranaander- 
in-chief, had proclaimed martial law in the 
principalities. The capitation tax on Chris¬ 
tians in Turkey is finally abolished. 
A new manifesto from the Czar, orders 
another levy of twelve men in every thousand 
in the seventeen Western Provinces, to be 
completed by the end of July. A reconnoi- 
sance had ascertained that the Russians have 
25,000 men at Oaki, near Eupatoria. 
The French Baltic fleet had arrived out, and 
the Allied fleet was pushing forward. 
Tub Latest. —General Canrobert has resign¬ 
ed, and is succeeded by General Pelissicr. 
A despatch from Canrobert, dated May 16, 
says: “We continue our works before the 
place. Various attempts to smoke out the en¬ 
emy by Camoufluts or stink-pots have perfect¬ 
ly succeeded. Our troops continue in excel¬ 
lent spirits and are full of ardor and confi¬ 
dence.” 
Gukat Britain. —The Democratic movement 
is gaining ground. The Queen had publicly 
bestowed medals on private soldiers who had 
returned wounded from the Crimea. The dis¬ 
tribution took place at the Horse Guards, where 
a throne was erected for the purpose. A fine 
military spectacle was presented. Victoria 
handed over 500 medals in the space of an 
hour, commencing with the Duke of Cam¬ 
bridge, Lords Cardigan and Lucan, Sir De La¬ 
cy Evans, &c., and ending with the private 
men. 
The King of Sardinia is rumored to be ne¬ 
gotiating a marriage with Queen Victoria’s 
eldest daughter. 
Rumors of Cabinet dissensions are rife— 
Lord John Russel being impracticable. 
Franck. —The Universal Exposition was 
opened in Paris on the 15th of May, with 
much form and ceremony, although the ar¬ 
rangements were anything but complete. The 
Emperor and Empress were present with all 
the great officers of State, and some 8,000 per¬ 
sons. 
Pianori, the would-be assassin of the Empe¬ 
ror, was executed at 5 o’clock in the morning, 
in the prison of Roquette. He admitted his 
guilt, but refused to make any developments, 
exclaiming “ Vive la Itepublique” just as the 
knife fell. 
Liverpool Markets, May 18.—In conse¬ 
quence of a favorable change in the weather, 
the market in breadstuffs is quiet at last week’s 
prices. Western canal flour 40sa42s ; Ohio 
45sa46s. White wheat, 12sal2s 8d ; red, 10s 
9dalls 9d. White corn, 56s 6da51s 6d; yel¬ 
low, 50sa51s ; mixed, 50sa50s 6d. 
Provisions. —Richardson, Spence & Co. re¬ 
port beef active, holders firmer. Pork firmer. 
Bacon continued upward tendency. Lard easi¬ 
er, 39s, ex ship. Tallow Is lower. 
Arrival of the Star of the West 
Tub steamship Star of the West, from San 
Jnan, with nearly half a million of specie on 
freight, and 300 passengers, arrived at New 
York June 1st. She brings dates of the 9th 
ult., from San Francisco. The Star of the 
West connected with the steamship Cortes, and 
left San Juan on the 24th ult. 
The news is of little interest. Trade had 
undergone no change since the sailing of the 
last steamer. 
The United States Mint resumed coining on 
the 8th of May. The amount of dust received 
the same day was eighteen thousand ounces, 
and of silver, six thousand ounces. 
The Legislature adjourned on the 8th, sine 
die. Nothing further of importance had been 
done. 
Walker’s expedition of 70 men sailed on the 
4tli. Destination uncertain. 
An unannounced eclipse of the moon took 
the people of San Francisco by surprise, and 
created some little excitement. The eclipse 
lasted two hours and forty-three minutes. 
The clipper ship Charmer, would sail for 
New York with 1600 tons of flour and grain 
about the 1st of May. The clipper ships Park 
Greenfield and Isabella, from Newfoundland, 
had arrived at San Francisco. 
On the 8th, the Land Commissioners con¬ 
firmed a claim to a large tract of mineral 
lands. 
Some excitement existed in San Barnardono, 
in consequence of the discovery of gold mines 
in that city. 
Market for Breadstuffs and Provisions pre¬ 
sents no feature of interest. Flour sells at 
$10, for llaxull. The transactions in grain are 
limited. 
CnOLKRA and the yellow fever have appear¬ 
ed at Havana, and much excitement exists in 
consequence. 
Tolls on the Sault St. Marie Canal. 
The present St. tariff of tolls, is fixed at a 
minimum of four cents per ton, measurement, 
which would give on an ordinary schooner, 
from $10 to $15, on a brig, from $17,60 to 
$20 ; on a large propeller $30, and on side 
wheel steamers, from $40 to $50. 
The means of getting boats and propellers 
through the canal, is of course by the use of 
their wheels, but sail vessels will require to 
be towed, and for that purpose horses will be 
required, the expense of towage falling, of 
course upon the vessels. A wide and hand¬ 
some towpath has been made upon the right 
hank of the work, and a corresponding heel- 
path upon the left hank. 
Oa the twenty first, the day on which the 
State authorities were upon the works, there 
was 12 feet 8 inches of water at the head of 
the upper pier, and 12 feet 5 inches in depth 
in the lower lock, consequently any vessel, no 
matter how heavily laden, which has ever 
navigated the western waters, could pass up or 
down with ease, as the locks are seventy feet 
in width, and three hundred and fifty feet in 
length, in the clear. The average class of 
steamers do not draw over nine feet loaded.— 
Chicago Democrat. 
War’s Horrors —The Cornwell (English) Ga¬ 
zette, relates the following affecting incident: 
A seaman of the fleet before Sebastopol, 
whose family lives at Polperro, in this county, 
was ordered on shore for the purpose of assist¬ 
ing in burying the slain who fell in a late at¬ 
tack of the Russians on the British batteries ; 
and almost the first person he met with on 
landing, was one of his brothers, of whose 
presence in the fleet he was not before inform¬ 
ed, and who had been severely wounded in the 
late engagement. From him he learned that 
his two other brothers were also serving in the 
naval brigade on shore ; be remained with the 
wounded brother till he saw him expire, and 
then proceeded on the duty for which he had 
landed, and soon discovered the bodies of his 
other brothers, vGio had been killed in the bat¬ 
tle. His feelings may be imagined, as he as¬ 
sisted in laying these three brothers of his 
own, side by side, in one grave. 
Tiik Canadian Loyalty Tried. —Our friends 
across the Niagara have had a heavy draft 
made upon their devotion to the Mother Coun¬ 
try recently. The British Ministry have sent 
a dispatch to the Provincial Government, po¬ 
litely requesting them to hand over one mil¬ 
lion acres of choice land lying between the 
Ottawa River and Lake Huron, to be used to 
bait Germans to enlist into the Foreign Le¬ 
gion. It is proposed to give each private 50 
acres, each non-commissioned officer 100 acres, 
each officer 200 acres, and 500 acres each to a 
few superior officers. The Canadians evince a 
purpose to hang on to the land, and aid the 
project of the Foreign Legion with their 
prayers only.— Buffalo Democracy. 
Accumulating Horrors. —It is said that an¬ 
other horror is beginning to perplex the allies 
—the want of water next summer. Water 
will be required for 100,000 men, or twice 
that number, and 30,000 horses and mules.— 
The allies thought they had cut off the water 
from the beseiged city, by destroying the 
aqueduct; but they seem to have lost com¬ 
mand of this matter, as they have in most 
others. The Tchernai, also, at its source and 
mouth, seems to be in possession of the Rus¬ 
sians. 
Wheels Blocked. —Eight new locomotives 
were recently waiting the rebuilding of the 
bridge at Painesville, Ohio, which had been de¬ 
stroyed by fire. Three of them were for the 
Ohio and Mississippi, one for the Illinois Cen¬ 
tral, two for the Northern Cross, and two for 
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroads — 
Several more were also waiting at Buffalo for 
the same reason. Locomotive building has 
become an immense business within a few 
years, and bids fair to increase indefinitely. 
The Law’s Delay. —A curious incident hap- 
penened recently in the Supreme Court in Bos¬ 
ton. Judge Shaw was on the bench, and at 
the commencement of the docket, number one 
was the first called, but it appeared that it was 
not ready for trial. Upon this the Judge arose 
and stated that he himself, as counsel, had 
entered that suit long before he became a 
Judge. He has been on the bench more than 
twenty-three years.— Salem Register. 
Buying Chicago. —At a railroad celebration 
dinner in Illinois a few days ago, Col. Graham 
said that when he was a lieutenant under Col. 
Long of the Engineers, that gentleman had 
predicted the importance of Chicago and Cairo. 
This was years ago. At that time Col. Long 
applied to a person to loan him two hundred 
dollars, that with it he might buy Chicago ! The 
loan was not obtained, and Chicago was not 
sold for two hundred dollars. 
Death or a Brother of Archbishop Hughes. 
—Patrick Hughes, a brother of the Archbish¬ 
op, died at his residence near Lafargeville, in 
his county, on Monday last, aged about 60 
years. He was an intelligent, independent 
farmer, and highly esteemed in the communi¬ 
ty where he lived.— Watertown Jour. 
Quick Trip. —The Detroit Advertiser states 
that the steamer Western World, Capt. Cot¬ 
ton, arrived there on Friday week, in less ! 
than 15 hours from Buffalo, with a large load 
of passengers. The exact time of the West¬ 
ern World, in one of her recent trips from De¬ 
troit to Buffalo, was 14h. 30m. 
Remains of Martin Van Buren, Jr. —The 
Tribune says the St. Louis brought home the 
body of Martin Van Buren, Jr., son of the ex- 
President. The father is in France, and is 
not expected to return until June. 
Lord Lyndhurst said in a recent speech that 
when he entered public life the majority of 
the House of Commons had received a univer¬ 
sity education. Now, not more than one-fifth 
have been so educated. 
Mr. Hiram Harmen mounted his horse to 
hunt up his cattle in Erie, Iowa, and was the 
next morning found wandering about insane, 
his horse having been killed by a stroke of 
lightning. 
Capt. Ingraham, of the Koszta notoriety, 
sailed from Spezzia for the United States in 
the St. Louis, on the 15th of March. This 
will be his first visit homo since he became 
famous.

June 6, 1855. f 
Therm is very little change in the market to report this 
week. Breadstuffs and provisions are left at former 
quotations, except that corn has an upper margin of two 
cents added. A small extra lot of Genesee wheat was 
sold last week at $2,68, but that may he regarded as a 
fancy rather than a staple price. 
New cheese begins to come in at 9@I0 cents. 
Hay is abundant and lower. The late rain has remov¬ 
ed the apprehension of injury to the grass by drouth. 
A few small lots of new wool, clipped from f it sheep, 
have been sold during the week, but nothing has yet 
transpired to fix prices of the opening trade.

the band wheel, &c., cannot possibly get loose, as 
is often the case with many other Powers, and it is 
warranted to do all work any reasonable person can re¬

REAPING AND MOWING MACHINE. 
My machine, which gave great and general sati-faction 
last vear. not one having been returned iu New York or 
Canada has been still further improved by the adoption 
of a smali finger and cutting apparatus, that will pene¬ 
trate the most tangled grass. The change of from I to 14 
inches in the height of cutting (a valuable improvement) 
can now be made in a minute, which with other im¬ 
provements. make the machine (which is simple and du¬ 
rable, and ea-ily repaired.) the most valuable of ihc 
kind in u-e. The warrantee which permits a trial of it. 
before paying for it. and that it has no equal as a Reaper 
an 1 Mower, is a sure guarantee that it is what it is recom 
mended to be. It would cot be sent 1 0b0 miles at a 
large expense, with ihe certainty it would be ret irne 1 if 
it was not. I could not supply the demand la t season 
and commences the manufacture of 2.U0O for the harvest 
of IS55, which I have increased to 2,250, every one of 
which have been sold, and I have been compelled to re¬ 
ject a large number of orders lor them, at the factory, 
at $155, the same prices as they are offered for in New

far as known, have given universal satisfaction. Many 
testifying that their Mills had more than paid for them¬ 
selves the first month ; while others aver the regular 
use of the Little Giant for one week will more than save 
its cost in tolls alone. 
This Mill has doubt ess attained a more sudden celebri¬ 
ty for doing its work with extraordinary ease and cer¬ 
tainty. than any other article of labor-saving machinery 
ever presented to the Agricultural world ; the merit of 
which consists chiefly in the peculiar arrangement of 
first breaking, then crushing and crumbling the cob at 
the centre of the Mill. 
These Mills are guaranteed in the most positive man¬ 
ner against breakage or derangement, and warranted to 
grind feed from ear corn, and grits for fine hominy from 
helled corn, with a degree of ease and convenience for

without expense or mechanical aid, then adjusted and 
used with convenience by any body. Made and for sale
