Arrival of tlie Canada. 
Tiib steamship Canada arrived at Halifax 
Nov. 22d. Her advices from Liverpool are to 
th 8 9 th inst., one week later than that receiv¬ 
ed by the Pacific. 
Gen. Canrobert is in Stockholm, charged 
with the mission of briging S veden into the 
alliance. Sweden is required either to assent 
or refuse. It is reported from Berlin that 
Russia recently made a confidential communi¬ 
cation to Prussia and Austria of her wish to 
renew negotiations, and that Bourgeney re¬ 
turned to Vienna with fresh instructions to 
meet in any contingency of proposals from 
Russia. It is farther reported that Gortscha- 
koff, diplomatist from Vienna, and the Ru-sian 
Ministers from other German Courts, are cer¬ 
tainly to meet the Czar at Warsaw by the 
middle of November, when the question of a 
renewal of negotiations will be settled. It is 
also stated that the Emperor of Erance favors 
a renewal. 
A French camp of 59,000 is being formed 
in Silstria, 
Letters from Sabastopel say that Russian 
projectiles reach almost every spot in the city. 
A desultory fire is kept up on both sides. The 
Allies say that the Russians are making prep¬ 
arations for a retreat. Gen. Levalaint is ap¬ 
pointed French Governor of Sebastopol. Gen 
Campbell has taken offence at the appoint¬ 
ment, and asked leave to retire. 
The French force at Eupatoria on a recon 
noisance, fell in with a large force of Russians, 
and a battle was ordered. The Russians re¬ 
tired after exchanging a few rounds of artil¬ 
lery. The French afterwards burned several 
towns and villageson the route, and returned 
to Eupatoria. 
Odessa advices say Todleben ;s*fa 3 t making 
Nicolaieff defenceable. It is reported that 
Odessa will be dismantled, and her guns sent 
to Nicolaieff, aud that the Allies bad effected 
a landing near Perekop. The Russians are 
hastening to oppose them. 
Asia. —Omer Pasha has opened friendly re 
lations with Schamyl. Selim Pasha is to be 
stationed at Eszerouns with the Imperial 
Guard, where he would threaten the Russians 
beseigiDg at Kar3. 
Engx.and.—T he excitement respecting a war 
with the United States has quite subsided— 
The leading j imrnals are ashamed of the panic, 
and attempt to excuse themselves gently down 
by attributing a pretended hostile attitude of 
America to wards England, to an election ruse 
on the part of th 9 President and Cabinet. In¬ 
telligent Englishmen of all ranks express 
themselves pained and humiliated by the 
whole affair. 
Francs.— Another false report was circulat¬ 
ed of an attempt to assassinate the Emceror. 
The monthly statement of the B inks of 1‘ ranee 
is not unfavoraole in its general character, 
though it shows a diminution of a million 
pounds. The notes in circulation have been 
largely reduced. 
Spain.— Unfriendly relations arc arising be¬ 
tween Spain and England, in case of a British 
subject being expelled from Cuba. Notwith¬ 
standing an agreement to submit his grievan¬ 
ces to arbitration, the British Consul at New 
Orleans demands reparation immediately for 
Boylen’s losses. 
Italy. —The misunderstandings between 
Sardinia and Tuscany remain unsettled The 
correspondent of the London Post says, no 
doubt a revolutionary movement has broken 
out in Italy. Several insurrectionists have 
been captured and shot. 
Mauk&t Nkws.—B rown, Shipley & Co., say 
that an advance had taken place in all de¬ 
scriptions of breadstuff?, viz : In wheat to the 
extent of 3d per bushel. Flour Is per barrel, 
and corn 2 s fid per qv., and the market closed 
with less active demaud at firm prices. West¬

No changes in the grain market worthy of note. 
Mutton is plenty and cheap, retailing from wagons in 
the 3 treei from 3>£ to 4% cents. Pork still keeps up to 
a high Qgure. Poultry comes in more plenty, and is a 
cent per pound cheaper than at the date of our last re¬ 
port. Tnanksgiving, however, will make the trade ac¬ 
tive and keep up present prices. 
Butter i3 higher than usual for this season, although 
there ha3 been no advance in price for several weeks 
past.

?rruATED ten miles west of Rochester, and adjoining the 
Chid station on the N. Y. Central Rai roal. It contains 
150 acres, (including 25 acres valuable timber.) well

Thk results of the election in the State gov¬ 
ernment are now definitely ascertained, and 
may be summed up as follows : 
The Secretary of State, Comptroller, Treas¬ 
urer, Attorney General, and State Engineer 
are Know Nothings. 
The Senate is Republican. 
The Assembly is divided between the three 
parties, the Democrats baviDg most members, 
the Republicans next, and the Know Nothings 
least, but neither party having a majority. 
The new Judges of the Court of Appeals are 
probably one Democrat and one Know Noth¬ 
ing. 
The new Judges of the Supreme Court are 
three Democrats, two Republicans, and five 
Know Nothings. 
These changes also produce the following 
results : 
Tee Commissioners of the Land Office will 
consist of five Know Nothings and two Re¬ 
publicans, (or one Republican and one Demo¬ 
crat ) 
The Commissioners of the Canal Fund will 
consist of two Know Nothings and one Re¬ 
publican. 
The Canal Commissioners will consist of 
two Republicans and one Know Nothing. 
The Canal Roard will consist of six Know 
Nothings and three Republicans. 
The Trustees of the Capitol will consist of 
three Know Nothings and three Republicans, 
(or two Republicans aud a Democrat) 
The Trustees of the State Hall will consist 
of three Know Nothings an l three Republi¬ 
cans, (or two Republicans and a Democrat ) 
The Board of Prison Inspectors will consist 
of two Republicans and one Know Nothing. 
In respect to State and National issues, our 
State government stands thus: the Executive 
and both branches of the Legislature are op¬ 
posed to slavery extension. 
The Executive, both branches of the Legis¬ 
lature, and a majority of the newly elected 
Judges, are favorable to a prohibitory liquor 
law, though the majority of the Legislaiure 
are probaoly for amending the present statute. 
The Executive, the Legislature, and the 
majority of the new Judges, favor the present 
canal enlargement.— Albany Eve. Jour.

wishing a first-class Agricultural and Family Newspaper. 
CREDENTIALS FROM PROMINENT JOURNALS. 
Tub Rural New-Yorker is a paper the fame of which i Moore’s Rural New-Yorker has become a glan 
is without a blot. Characteristically Agricultural, it is in j among its kind. With a subscription verging fast to 
the broadest sense a Family Paper, one whieh maybe 49,000, and a conductor who knows how to polish it with 
admitted without doubts as to its tendency. It has an 
immense circulation, and merits patronage wider still.—• 
New York Recorder. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker has, from its start, taken 
high rank, and rapidly increased in popular favor, and 
now stands without an equal in its sphere. High-toned, 
practical and scientific, it admits nothing stale, vulgar or 
uninstructive. As an Agricultural, ~ 
Newspaper combined, we know i 
ester Daily Union. 
The Proprietor spares no pains to mahe the Rural 
New-Yorker one of the best Agricultural and Family 
Newspapers published in America, and we certainly think i t"'l7 ‘ j 
it is second to none we have ever seen. —Romanmlle j na '; Y s Ghristiun.

Mr. Moore ought to make a fortune out of his Jour¬

The Rural is not only a favorite in the rural districts, 
but deservedly popular in the cities. No newspaper in 
this or any other country has ever run a more prosper¬ 
ous career. —Louisville Journal.

The Rural New-Yorker is a deservedly popular Jour- 
„al. As a Family, Agricultural, Educational and Literary 
periodical, it can hardly be excelled .—Canada Christian 
Advocate. 
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker is full of variety, origi¬ 
nal aud select. No paper on our list of exchanges comes 
so near our ideas of perfection, for a secular family pa¬ 
per. as the Rural. It has always maintained a high mor¬ 
al standard. —Neio York Observer. 
The Rural New-Yorker is decidedly the best Agri¬ 
cultural paper in the United States, in all its depart¬ 
ments, and well merits its eminent success .—Boston Ol- 
ine Branch. 
It now enjoys an immense patronage, and promises to 
become the most extensively circulated weekly in the

The Rural New Yorker is always lively, wide awake, 
hopeful and enterprising, quite free from fogyism. The 
editors drive a fast team, but hold a stiff rein. Sure to 
be liberally patronized on account of its intrinsic merits.

THE HOME: 
A Fireside Monthly Companion and Guide for the Wife, 
the Mother, the Sister, and the Daughter. 
The fact tnat no magazine is published in this coun¬ 
try, devoted to the cultivation of the virtues of woman¬ 
ly character, and that moral excellence which shines 
out In the homo circle, and adorns the wife, the mother, 
the sister, and the daughter has induced the publisher 
to announce “Thf. HoiiK.” It will be conducted with 
the sing’e aim to elevate social life, by teaching those 
principles and inculcating those sentiments, which are 
most intimate'y associated with home—the sphere of 
the true woman. In this unoccupied field of literature, 
it will be the constant effort of those who have the pub¬ 
lication in charge, to inspire the reader with a deeper 
love of homo and nature, truth and beauty ; to lead to 
a greater desire for individual improvement, and a 
higher ambitiou. and thus to add to the sources of home 
enjoyment. These ends will be sought: 
1st. By the publication of original essays upon 
topics which are connected wi:h the positive virtues, as 
well as the graces and accomplishments of the true 
woman. 
2d. By original Tales, Poems, Biographical Sketches, 
and such other literary matter as will serve the leading 
purposes of Thb Uoub.” 
3d. By hints for home comforts, or loop holes to let 
the F.un-light in. This department will serve to allow 
the Editress such familiar conversation with her friends 
as may be desirable ; and will contain, from time to 
time, useful recipes, suggestions with regard to the cul¬ 
ture of plants and flowers, and answers to such ques¬ 
tions as shall be asked. 
4;h. By a current record of tbe times, embodying, in 
brief paragraphs, su< h items as may be of interest to 
the family circle, worthy of preservation, or suggestive

FRANKLIN ACADEMY. 
The Winter Term of Franklin Academy. Prattsburgh. 
will commence Dec. 6th, in charge of Wm. H. Jackson, 
A B., as Principal. Of his capacity and fitness tor the 
post, let the friend3 and patrons of the Institution read 
the following. Says Prof. Sorth, of Hamdton College : 
“ Mr. Jackson has distinguished himself in college 
competitions, both as a writer and a speaker. He is 
familiar with French and German, and is equally well 
versed in tbe exact sciences and in the ancient classics. 
As a teacher he would exhibit qualities and attainments 
rarely m?t with in a graduate of his years. He has al¬ 
ready had much experieace in teaching, and with a 
large measure of success. With my knowledge of his 
quick perception of what i3 beautiful in art and true in 
science, his manly and generous nature, and his blame¬ 
less character I cannot doubt that parents and patrons 
of schools will find it for their interest to secure his ser¬ 
vices.” JAMES H. HOTCHKIN, Prea’t.
