Arrival of the Pacific. 
The steamer Pacific, from Liverpool Aug, 11, 
arrived this morning at New York Aug. 22. 
Sebastopol — Latest despatches, July 28 — 
Gen. Simpson telegraphs: — “Since my last 
despatch of the 24th, I have nothing of im 
portance to relate. We continue to strength¬ 
en and improve our advanced works, which 
are now so close to the enemy’s defences that 
I regret to say our casualties are necessarily 
considerable. The enemy exhibits great ac¬ 
tivity in adding to and improving their de¬ 
fences, and the conveyance of military stores 
from the north to the south side is increas¬ 
ing.” Cholera had nearly ceased in the ranks 
of the army. 
Gortschakoff writes, Aug. 2d : —“ Nothing 
of importance is going on. The vigor of the 
Russian fire prevents the works of the besieg¬ 
ers from advancing, and their fire is weaker.” 
The Russians made a night sortie Aug. 4th, 
on the Woronkoff road, but were repulsed. 
Tiie Baltic. —Letters mention a general an¬ 
ticipation that Sweaborg and Helsingfers will 
be immediately attacked. Capt. Zelverton, 
on the 26th July, took possession of the 
Island of Kolka, and destroyed the fortifica¬ 
tion. 
The White Sea. —An English steamer, ac¬ 
cording to Russian accounts, bombarded the 
village of Lirrutsa, in the Vega district, for 
three hours. No damage. There are several 
accounts of petty depredations. 
Sea of Azoff. —Taganrog, by date of 25th of 
July, had been bombarded for some days. An 
English steamship had gone ashore and been 
burned by the Russians ; the crew escaped. 
The town of Berdiansk had bean again bom¬ 
barded. 
Asia.— There was no truth in the report of 
the expedition of Schamyl against Tifiis. The 
Russians made an unsuccessful attack on Ka- 
radah on the 10th. The allies were demol¬ 
ishing the fortification of Anapa against the 
west of the Caucasians. 
Markes. —Richardson, Spence & Co.’s Cir¬ 
cular, August 10, says:—Very heavy rains 
have fallen since our last, and the crops are 
reported much laid throughout the country. 
Yesterday and to-day, however, are again 
fine, with warm sunshine. The continued 
bad weather has had no effect on our market 
for wheat and flour. On Tuesday, holders of 
wheat submitted to a reduction of 2d per bu. 
To-day’s market was very dull and oniy mod¬ 
erately attended. Wheat was again 2d. per 
bu. lower, making a decline of 4d. on the 
market, with small sales. Flour—prices rath, 
er favored the buyer. Indian corn quotations 
nominally 39s a 39s 6d for mixed and yellow, 
the demand falling off. Western Canal new 
36s 38s ; white ^vheat 11s 9d a 12s 6d. 
Beef not changed in prices, demand mode¬ 
rate, but dealers still buy only what they re¬ 
quire immediately. Lower prices have been 
accepted, and there was more activity in the 
trade. Bacon—a fair business has been done 
at full rates. Lard has been dull of sale, and 
only a very limited business has been done at 
a decline of 6d per 100 lbs. The sale of the 
week not above 70 tuns. Tallow in good de¬ 
mand at full prices. 
Arrival of the George Law. 
The mail steamer George Law arrived at 
New York Aug. 25, with California dates to 
the 1st, and nearly one million and three 
hundred thousand dollars in treasure. The 
Golden Gate brought down $1,600,000 in 
treasure to Panama. 
The electric telegraph on the Isthmus is 
finished and in operation. 
Advices had been received at Panama from 
Valparaiso to July 14th, Calao to July 25th, 
and Australia June 2d. Nothing important 
from either point. 
Intelligence from Acapulco states that Alva¬ 
rez was just making his way to the city of 
Mexico with his forces. 
When the allied fleet arrived at Petropo- 
lowski, they found the town deserted and the 
fortified bastion dismantled. The Russian 
ships Aurora and Devina had sailed some time 
previously for the Amoor river, taking with 
them all the guns and stores. The Allies 
blew up the fortifications, arsenals, store¬ 
houses, public buildings, &c. Amoor, whith- 
er the Russians proceeded, is said to be a 
strongly fortified place. A dispatch from the 
French Admiral says the French and English 
fleet had already proceeded hither from Chi¬ 
na. The Pacific fleet, after refitting at San 
Francisco, will also proceed there, where se¬ 
vere fighting is expected. 
George H. Mendall, late second mate of the 
Sierra Nevada, has been arrested in San Fran¬ 
cisco, charged with committing the robbery of 
$40,<)00 in gold dust aboard that steamer last 
February, while on a passage down. 
The Banking House of II. Davis of Nevada, 
had suspended. Liabilities large. 
It was reported that new developments of a 
curions nature had turned up in the affairs of 
Adams & Co., in which Santa Anna, the Mex¬ 
ican President, was implicated. Santa Anna’s 
complicity, it is said, has relation to the coin¬ 
ing of Mexican ounces. An expose of the 
whole affair, from one recently connected with 
Hie house, was to be made soon. 
The steamship Cortez, which sailed July 
30th, had nineteen deaths from cholera on 
board. 
The mining news was flattering. Markets 
moderately active. Flour in steady demand. 
Haxnll and Galego $13, Suffolk $12. 
Arrived of the Daniel Webster. 
The steamer Daniel Webster, from Nicara¬ 
gua, arrived at New York Aug. 27, bringing 
350 passengers and upwards of $700,000 in 
specie. The Daniel Webster reports that a 
terrific hurricane visited the Mosquito Coast 
on the night of the 25th, causing the total 
loss of the British sloop-of-war Wolverein, on 
the island of St. Andrews. Her cutter reach¬ 
ed San Juan on the 16th, with despatches for 
the steam frigate Buzzard for assistance. The 
cutter left immediately for the scene of dis¬ 
aster. 
The accessary transit company’s new steam¬ 
er “San Carlos,” to be run on Lake Nicara¬ 
gua, has been safely got over the Castillo 
Falls, and has commenced her trips.

Flour has taken a decided downward turn during the 
week now selling to the trade at $9(5)9,75. Wheat of 
all kinds, Genesee, Canadian, and Western included, 
ranges from $1,50 to $2, according to quality. A boat 
load of best Genesee from up the Valley, was reported 
a3 sold last Saturday at $2,12%, and small lots of extra 
Southern Illinois, (the best wheat offered,) are held at 
$2,17, but the figure is above the market. Oats are low¬ 
er and are sold in the street to transient customers at 
three shillings ; dealers, however, decline paying over 
two and six. Corn unchanged.' New barley begins to 
come in. One dealer bought la3t week 4,000 busheb 
(Valley crop) at 70(5)75, according to quality. 
Mess pork goes up again, and now brings $21@22 per 
bbl. Hams and shoulders are each a cent higher.

SMITH & FENWICK’S 
MACHINE FOR PARING, CORING AND QUARTERING 
APPLES AND OTHER FRUIT. 
This very ingenious and useful machine is now ready 
for sale, and will be on exhibition next month at the 
Fair ok the American Institute at the Crystal Palace. It 
received a Silver Mehai. at the New York State Fair, and 
is considered by every one who has seen it in operation 
as “ The Machine.” It works on the right principle and 
performs with astonishing precision. The paring taken 
off is very thin, thi core removed nicely, and the apple 
quartered, or divided into smailor pieces if desired, and 
all so quickly that a girl of a dozen years can complete 
from 6 to 8 a minute. The Machine being made of iron, 
and very simple, is not in any way liable to get out of 
order. 
The Scientific American says :—“ This Machine pre¬ 
sents manifold advantages over anything of a similar 
nature, it being capable of performing almost double the 
amount of work in a given time that can be done by any 
other.” 
A sample machine will be sent to order for Four Dol¬ 
lars, (which includes cost of packing,) and Rights for 
States or Counties will be sold on liberal terms, and ma¬ 
chines furnished at low rates, when desired, to purchas¬ 
ers of said Rights. Apply to

■ A word in favor of your trees. I think I never saw 
so flue trees in any nursery, and I have visited a good 
many.” David C. Berry, Esq., Newark, N. J. 
1 No one has given more perfect satisfaction than you 
did in the bill we made with you.” 
Edward D. Hobbs, E?q., near Louisville, Ky. 
“ The trees I had of you last fall were the first from the 
Fast that have ever paid any profit, tor the simple reason 
that too much inferior and unsalable stock was always 
sent.” M. L. Dunlap, Esq.. Leyden, Ill. 
“ I have just been to Mr. W-’s. His pears from 
your nursery are the finest I have seen this dry season. 
In fact they are fine for any season. I was sorry mine 
were from another source.” 
Sam'l Edwards, Esq., La Moille. Ill. 
“ Tho 3,000 pear trees received fiom your nurseries 
last tall give universal satisfaction. They are superior 
to any I have ever seen that were grown at the Roches¬ 
ter nurseries, and the packing could not be excelled.”

AUCTION SALE

Tub Subscriber proposes to sell at Auction bis entire 
herd of Thorough Bred u IIerd Book” Devonshire Cattle, 
on Wednesday, the 17th of October next, at his farm 2% 
miles from Troy, N. Y., comprising 11 head of breeding 
Cows and about 9 head of bulls, Heifer and Bull Calves. 
The originals of this flue herd were selected with great 
care through importations from England and purchases 
in this country, and they have been bred with equal care, 
and all will admit, on examination, that they are a splen¬ 
did herd of this popular breed of cattle. Among the 
herd is the beautiful 3 years old imported bull “ May 
Boy, ” bred by John T. Davy, Esq., of South Moulton, 
Devonshire, England, and editor of the Engiish Devon 
Herd Book. This Bull, as will he seen by his pedigree, 
is descended from the highest strain of blood that Eng¬ 
land affords, and for perfection in symmetry, vigor and 
sprightly action, it will be difficult to find his superior.— 
His get, as will be seen in the Herd will attest his superi¬ 
ority as a stock getter. There is al30 amongfthelHerd a 
beautiful 4 years old heifer, and her bull calf: she was 
imported from the celebrated Herd of Lord Leicester.— 
A credit of 12 months will be given for approved paper, 
on interest. Catalogues of the animals will soon be is¬ 
sued with pedigrees and further particulars and may

THE ATTENTION OF FARMER3 
Is rfquested to a new Fertilizer, prepared from night 
soil collected from the 3inks and privies of New York 
City, by the Lodi Manufacturing Co , and manufactured 
without any adulteration whatever into a powerful ma¬ 
nure something like guano, but less caustic and less ex¬ 
hausting to the soil. It is called 
T A.-T'ETJ, 
from the Chinese word signifying prepared night-soil, 
and is the only article of the kind ever manufactured 
inthri country. It is warranted to be 95 per cent, pure 
night soil, and from its ease of transportation and ap¬ 
plication and the small quantity required to produce 
the same result as heavier manures, it is the cheapest 
manure ever offered for sale. For grass in the fall— 
winter grain or for garden vegetables it ha3 no equal. 
From 300 to 600 lbs. per acre is all the dressing re¬ 
quired for the poorest soil. A fair trial in competition 
with other manures is respectfully asked. Packed in 
bbls. of 240, or bags of 125 lbs. Price, $35 per ton, or

GENESEE MODEL SCHOOL FOR BOYS. 
Rev. B. G. Riley, A. M., Principal. 
Andrew G. Riley, A M., M. D., Assistant. 
This Institution has been recently established for the 
purpose of demonstrating the utility and feasibility of 
that system of general education which combines 
physical, intellectual and moral training. 
Ample grounds have been provided for the School, and 
are now being ornamented ; suitable and costly buildings, 
Including a Gymnasium and Bathing House, have been 
erected and furnished ; and extensive arrangements have 
been made for the most thorough instruction in each of 
the three great departments of education named above. 
The habits of the pupils will he most sacredly guarded, 
the plan of the school being that of a carefully regulated 
Christian Family. The Teachers reside in the building 
with the pupils, eating at the same table, and mingling 
with them at all hours of the day. 
The department of Physical Education will be under the 
immediate supervision of an able and experienced physi¬ 
cian,—A. C. Campbell, M. D.,—who has recently pur¬ 
chased the entire property, and who will spare no ex¬ 
pense necessary to accomplish fully the ends proposed in 
the establishment of the Institution. 
Extract from a letter of Rev. J. Cummings, D. D., Pres¬ 
ident of Genesee College : 
“I regard the ‘Genesee Model School for Boys,’ a 3 
presenting a practical realization of the only true theory 
of Education, aud as worthy of the attention of all who 
would secure to the young the benefits of a well-balanced, 
harmonious development of their powers.” 
The “.Genesee ModelSchool for Boys ” is a bold step in 
advance. It proposes a radical reform. And what it 
proposes to do we have no doubt it will do, as the men 
who have it in charge are experienced teachers—com¬ 
petent, thorough, energetic.—[Rev. Wm. Hosmer, Ed. N.
