Arrival of tlio Africa. 
The mail steamer Africa arrived at Halifax 
June 6th. 
Austria has proposed the Conference meet 
again at Vienna. The English and French 
ambassadors have not made a reply to the re¬ 
quest. The meeting is with a view to arrange 
the third poiut. Austria also insists that the 
German States shall specify distinctly the line 
of conduct each intends to pursue. 
Gen. Pelissier’s appointment to the com¬ 
mand of the French army in the Crimea, is 
immensely popular. It is surmised that he 
will make a bold attempt to cut off Liprandi’s 
army. Omer Pasha has off-red to take and 
hold Simferopol with his Tuiks if the French 
will support iris advances. The Allied force 
is 200,000 men, namely, 120,000 French, 30,- 
000 British, 40,000 Turks and 11,000 .Sardin¬ 
ians. The army is now well supplied with 
luxuries as well as necessaries, but still chol¬ 
era and fever prevails. 
Ou the 10th of May a severe combat took 
place during the night, along the right attack. 
The affair lasted for an hour and a half, when 
the Russians retired under cover of their bat¬ 
teries. The loss was considerable on both 
sides. Night attacks were also made by the 
Russians on the 11th and 12th. On all occa¬ 
sions the sorties were repulsed 
The English cruisers in the Baltic had 
brought several prizes to Elsinore. The Rus¬ 
sian government have ordered the ships-of-war 
at Cronstadt to be sunk, with the exception 
of eight liners. All the fortified harbors in 
Finland have been placed in a state of seige. 
The mortality in the Austrian army in Gal- 
lacia continues great. 15,000 have died and 
23,000 are in the hospital. 'The Austrian 
Proclamation of Martial Law in the Princi¬ 
palities only referred to persons inducing Aus¬ 
trian soldiers to desert. 
Great Britain— Parliament has expressed 
a determination to aid the Queen in her pros¬ 
ecution of the war, until a safe and honorable 
peace can be obtained. The Queen visits 
France on the 16th of August. 
Liverpool Markets, May 26.—Market for 
breadstuff's has continued dull throughout 
the week, and the quotations are generally 
the same as by the previous steamer. 
The market for provisions is rather firmer, 
and in some cases a slight advance on pre¬ 
vious rates has been obtained. 
C^lifobjty ]i)fcliigei)ce. 
Arrival of the Steamer Northern Light 
'The Steamship Northern Light arrived at 
New York June 6. She brings the details of 
California news to the 16th of May, 415 pas- 
seugers and $524,006 on freight. The passen¬ 
gers bring a large amount of gold in their 
possession. 
In Central America the government party 
liad again invaded Leon, being determined to 
reduce it before the arrival of Walker and his 
pirty. The arrival of the Kinney expedition 
was anxiously looked for. 
In California, business generally was dull, 
although large sales of flour and grain for 
shipment to New York, Liverpool and Aus¬ 
tralia, had been made. The ship Charmer and 
others sailed for New York on the 16th with 
7 n 4 tons of wheat., 2‘*4 of barley and 172 tons 
of flour. The Flying Arrow would follow with 
1,000 tons of wheat and flour. 
Chili and California flour is quoted at $6.— 
There had been a sale of 2,000 bbls. superfine 
Gallego at the low price of $10, at 30 and 45 
days 
There had been a good deal of rain and the 
crops look well. The mines are yielding abun¬ 
dantly. but money is scarce. 
The confirmation of the Land Claims to 33 
square leagues of land, including the city of 
Sicramento, by the Land Commissioners, 
causes much gratification. Trouble, however, 
was feared between the squatters and those 
claiming laud under the Sutter titles. 
Advices from the Sandwich Islands report 
that the British frigates President and Al- 
ceste. sloop-of-war Dido and steamer Brisk, all 
left that place for the North. Their destina¬ 
tion is supposed to be Petropaulowiski. 
Tiik Canadian Parliament. —The Canadian 
Parliament has adjourned, after a cession of 
seven months—an unprecedented time for 
Parliament to sit in Canada. The most im¬ 
portant measures it adopted, are the follow¬ 
ing : “The clergy reserve settlement bill; the 
seigniorial tenure abolition bill; the reci¬ 
procity bill; the militia enrolment bill; the 
newspaper postage abolition bill ; the estab- 
li-hnient of municipal institutions in Lower 
Canada bill ; the incorporation of six new 
banks ; the passage of eighteen now, or the 
amendment of old, railway charters ; the On¬ 
tario and Bay of Quiute canal bill; the Otter 
Creek navigation bill.” 
Terrible Loss of Life at Spa.— Among the 
items of news contained in the mails of the 
Afiica, is that of the wreck of the Peruvian 
ship Grenada, bound from Shanghai to Callao. 
The captain and five of the crew saved them¬ 
selves in the boats after suffering terribly at 
sea, but 640 Chinese emigrants perished in the 
wreck. 
National CpuNctL. — The National Council 
of the Know Nothings commenced its session 
at Philadelphia on Tuesday, the 5th iust. A 
good deal of difficulty is understood to exist 
on various questions, one of which is slavery, 
and another that the Loui.-iana delegation, or 
a portion of it, are Catnolics. A long session 
is expected. 
New Trial Granted.— The notorious Wm. 
H. Arrison, convicted at Cincinnati of mur¬ 
dering Mr Allison and wife by means of an 
infernal machine, has been granted a uew trial 
by the Supreme Court of Ohio, on account of 
misdirection of the Judge in charging the 
jury. The objection is merely a technical 
one, and does not touch the merits of the case. 
Rural New-Yorker O vice, > 
June 12, 1855, f 
Tub changes this week are not very essential in the 
grain market. Corn is a cent or two lower, and oats 
drooping at former quotations. 
Mess pork is quoted a dollar per barrel, ham3 half a 
cent, and shoulders one cent higher than last week.— 
Butter and eggs have al-o advanced a cent. 
The hAy market is unsettled and plenty offered, with 
a downward tendency of prices. We know of purchases 
being mado to-day of a good article at twelve dollars per 
ton, but the quotations may be set down at $ 9(3)14. The 
recent rains bavo unsettled the prognostics of a light 
crop of grass, and things lookbrighte r. 
Very little wool of the new clip comes in, an d the mar¬ 
ket is dull, no inducements being held out for the farmer 
to sell. That receive t brought 28 and 30 cent3, and we 
therefore leave quotations standing at former figures.

and by them warranted to do good work, both in Reap¬ 
ing and Mowing aud built of the best materials and of 
sufficient strength to do their work without breaking 
when used on ground suitable for working them, and 
with proper care. The superiority we claim for our ma¬ 
chine over all others is: 
1st. The extra amount of strength and durability. 
2d. The construction to work with a loose pole for 
mowing, to allow the cutter bar to run close to the 
grouud in hollows as well as over knolls, aud prevents 
the heavy weight on the horses’ necks that a machine 
working with a stiff pole causes. 
3d. The obviation of side draft by placing the gearing 
on one side of the road wheel and the cutter bar on the 
other. 
4th. The open wrought iron guard, which is the only 
sure preventive again-t clogging. 
5th. The raising or lowering the road wheel to cut 
thiee lengths of stubbie—1st, two inches, for grass; 2d, 
five inches, for barley and oats ; 3d, eight inches, for 
wheat or rye. 
6th. The construction of the apron for reaping that 
the grain can be cast oil' in gavels immediate y behind 
or at tho side; also the simple mode of changing from a 
Reaper to a Mower, or vice versa, which can be done in 
twenty minutes. 
Our’machinos cut a swath five feet wide, and with a 
good team are capable of cutting 12 acres of grass in a 
day, or reaping from 15 to 20 acres of grain.

HAY PRESSES! HAY PRESSES!! 
DkderiCK’s Portable Parallel Lever Horizontal and Ver¬

out the aid of a mechanic. They are so conveniently 
portable that they can be moved from one field or farm 
to another, as a sleigh is moved by a pair of horses or 
oxen; and for convenience and power of operation they 
are unequalled. They are now being shipped to all parts 
Of the country, and in every instance giving the most

ATKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER & MOWER 
Turks seasons use ot' this ingenious, beautiful, aud yet 
simple Maoqiue, furnish convincing proof of practical 
worth. Three Hundred, scattered into nineteen different 
States the past sea-on, mostly in inexperience I hands, and 
nearly alt giving good satisfaction, cutting from fifty to sis 
hundred acres, proves it not only strong and servic&hte, 
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 ro bs a good, durable, Self-Raking 
Bracer, and I have also succeeded in attaching a mowing 
bar. so that I also warrant it as a Mower.

PATENT NEW YORK REAPER 
With Self-Raking Attachment. 
The superiority of the New York Reaper over all oth¬ 
ers. as conceded by the grain growers of the United 
states, is established beyond a question of doubt. The 
only complaint was. that like the ordinary hand raking 
reapers, the necessary labor in discharging the gram by 
hand, was sti 1 required. To overcome this difficulty, by 
the construction of machinery, has been our study for 
years, and we have at length succeeded. It is now no 
longer a theory, but has been proved by the actual test 
of a large number of machines put out by us during the 
last harvest, that the SELF-RAKE ATTACHMENT will 
deposite the grain in suitable gavels, and in better shape 
for the binders, than can t e done by any hand-raJcing 
reaper. Among all the -e'f-Rakes put out by us, no com¬ 
plaint in regard to its operation has been made. In con¬ 
sequence of the universal satisfaction by the farmers, 
and the great demand for this machine we have been 
induced to commence the manufacture of a large num¬ 
ber for the harvest of 1865. 
We claim precedence for our machine in consequence 
of actual test; also, in con-iteration of the following 
principles embodied in our patents : 
1. The Self-Rake being under the control of the driver, 
sheaves can be made of any required size; but one man 
is required in the tnangerrieut of the machine. 
2. the cast, patent, combination box. containing a’l the 
smaller gear, combines great strength and durability, 
preventing any displacement of the gearings whatever. 
In this it possesses great advantages over any other 
reaper. No failure in the large number made. 
3. The Knife or Sickle is seriated and in sections that 
cannot be clogged, and in case of accident can be repair¬ 
ed by any good blacksmith. 
4. The Reaper will cut 6 feet to 6%, with good driving, 
while ordinary machines cut five feet or less, and no ad¬ 
ditional draft on account of the self Rake attachment. 
We now offer the New York Reaper as a perfect SELF- 
’’AKIVir REAPER, mder our usual Warranty. The 
Reaper shall be well made, of good material, and dura¬ 
ble with proper care. Can cut from 15 to 20 acres per 
day with one span of horses, doing the wot it better than 
can lie done by ordinary cradling, depositing the grain in 
gavels for the binder, in as good shape, or better than 
when discharged by hand, ihe rake, at the will of the 
driver, saves the hard labor of one man. Price at the 
factory, with extra sickle sections extra guards, wrench¬ 
es, &c.. is $140. This strong guaranty under which we 
sell, or NO PAY, is sure protection to the purchaser; to¬ 
gether with our groat experience, now over 10 years, 
mostly devoted to the manufacture of Reaping Macliines, 
which enables us welt to understand the wants of the 
farmers. It now becomes us again to make our acknowl- 
edgmentto the farmers for the liberal patronage hither’o 
extended to us. We have greatly enlarged our works 
with increased facilities, and hope to be able to supply 
the demand.

Wisconsin and Iowa, in place of Mr. S. G. Wililams who 
has heretofore acted for us. and Mr. WILLIARD FISHER, 
agent for Michigan, and are fully authorized to appoint 
sub-agents, to sell, collect, or do any business relating to 
machines. SEYMOUR, MORGAN & Co.

Among the large number of TESTIMONIALS, the fol¬ 
lowing few certificates establish the importance of the 
Self Raking Attachment to the Reaper : 
Wheatland, Oct. 16, 1S54. 
Messrs. Seymour & Morgan : Gents.— I have used one 
of your Seif-Raking Reapers, the past harve.-t. and can 
say that it does its work better, in all kinds of grain, 
than it. is possible to do it by hand. Hereafter, all farm¬ 
ers who study their own interests, will demand a Reaper 
with the Raking Attachment. One invaluable recom¬ 
mendation to your rake is, that it is perfectly under the 
control of the d iver, who can ungear it, so as to accom¬ 
modate it to any sort of grain, thereby making the 
sheaves of proper size, in either light or heavy grain. 
Yours, icspectfully, SAMUEl/ WOOD. 
Le Roy, Nov. 4, 1854. 
I would say to the farmers that I have used Seymour & 
Morgan’s Self-Raking Reaper. It worked far beyond my 
expectation; the work was done far better than can be 
raked by hand. I will say, abo, that it is a great labor- 
saving Reaper, saving the labor of one mau, and doing 
the work better. CORNEI.L WILLIAMS. 
Union, Oct.. 1854. 
I have used both your old New York Reaper and your 
Self-Raking Reaper on my farm. The latter is a great 
improvement. It leaves the grain more compact and in 
better shape, so as to save from one-fourth to one-third 
of the labor in binding—doing the work better than can 
be done by the best of rakers, and it saves, the hard labor 
of one man. My grain was very heavy, and part of it 
badly lodged, and with but one man, (the driver ) it went 
through my harvest without detention from breaks or 
getting out of order, and with ease to the team. doiDg the 
work better than it could have been done in any other 
way. My idea is that there is little room left for im¬ 
provement in Reaping Machines. 
itours, respectfully, REUBEN PAINE. 
Caledonia, Oct. 23, 4854. 
Dear Sir— 1 have the pleasure to acknowledge that I 
have used one of your Self-Raking Reapers, the pastyear, 
and I must say that I think the principle is good_sur¬ 
passing any thing of the kind now in use. I know of no 
Reaper that I would recommend to the farmers of the 
country besides yours. 
With respect, DANIEL M'PHERSON. 
Brockport Nov. 9, 1854. 
Messrs. Seymour & Morgan : Gents.—I used one of 
your Self-Raking Reapers, the pa-t harvest. I consider 
your Raking Attachment of very great importance to the 
value of the machine. It does its work much better th,n 
it i.- po-sible to do it by band, and being so completely 
under the control of the driver, is adapted to light or 
heavy grain; and I am of the opinion that hereafter, no 
reaper will be considered worth using without the raker 
attachment. Yours, respectfully, THUS- COKNE3.
