MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
01 
Jortip fitUUtgerta. 
Arrival of the Asia. 
This steamship Asia arrived at New York on 
the 31st of January. 
The latest rumors from St. Petersburg were 
more pacific, and had tended in some measure 
to restore confidence in a speedy adjustment of 
the difficulty. 
The Asia left Liverpool on Saturday, the 14th. 
On the 15th she passed the America, bound in 
for Liverpool. 
The Allied fleets have entered the Black Sea. 
The first division of the Turkish fleet accompa¬ 
nied the Allies. The second division is anchor¬ 
ed at Therapia. 
The Czar is not disposed to view the entry of 
the fleets as a declaration of war, but he has or¬ 
dered all his own licet to return to Sebastopol. 
On the Gth of January the Turks gained a bril¬ 
liant success on the Danube. They stormed and 
captured the Russian entrenched camp at Citale, 
near Kalafat, and put '2, '00 of the enemy to the 
sword. 
They also attacked a body of 18,000 Russians, 
sent relieve (Jitale, and after a sharp encoun¬ 
ter, compelled them to retreat. The Russians 
are thus driven back from the position by which 
they hoped to cross the Danube. The Turkish 
force in battle was 15,000 and 15 guns. It is ad¬ 
mit! cd that Omer has brilliantly outmanoeuvred 
the Russian commander. 
Other advantages on the Danube arc formally 
noticed by the Divan to the Ambassadors of the 
four powers. Details are not given, but suppos¬ 
ed to be the storming and capture of Karakal, 
with several skirmishes of less moment. 
In Asia, the defeat of the Turks under the 
weak generalship of Abdi Pasha, is confirmed, 
but Gen. Gugon has gone to the army with lull 
powers and the spirits of the Turks have revived. 
Now that the allied fleets are in the Black Sea 
reinforcements can be sent to Asia with safety. 
Schamyl has sent a message to the Porte an¬ 
nouncing that he has now proposed to act ener¬ 
getically against the Russians; meanwhile nego¬ 
tiations go oil. 
The Sultan’s Trade is published, approving the 
decision of the Grand Council, to open negotia¬ 
tions on the footing proposed by the powers— 
Turkey to send a report to the Conference in a 
neutral city. 
It is confirmed that Persia has resumed nego¬ 
tiations with Great Britain, and will not at pres¬ 
ent attack the Turks. 
J’he ostensible cause of the difficulty with 
Britain was the claim of Abdal Kuril, a British 
subject, against the Persian Government. 
Rev. James C. Richmond complains that he is 
detained prisoner by the Austrian police at 
Keclienet, Hungary, and calls on the G. Slates 
for redress. 
China news state that Amoy was recaptured 
by the Imperialists, who massacred 1.0UU of the 
inhabitants. 
The Latest News. — London, Friday.— Ru¬ 
mors were circulated this P. M., on tne Paris 
Bourse, that pacific news had been seen from 
St. Petersburg. 
Rumors of fresh successes by the Turkish 
army in Wallachia, have alarmed Vienna. It is 
rumored that the Emperor of Austria leaves for 
Warsaw, in order to have a conference with the 
Czar on the Eastern question. 
From Persia, we learn that the Affghan envoy 
left Teheran before the arrival of the new Rus¬ 
sian plenipotentiary, with the threat that, if Per¬ 
sia formed an alliance with Russia, the Affghaus 
would invade the Persian territory. 
Liverpool Breadstuff Market. —Denniston 
Co., report that the market was active, and 
prices continued rapidly to advance till Tues¬ 
day evening, the lllth inst., but simje then there 
has been less doing, and prices l*tve fallen off, 
leaving, however, an advance in the week equal 
to ld(q)ihl. on wheat, ls@ls. lid. on flour, and 2s 
on Indian corn—the present quotations being 
for western canal flour, 42s. Gd(d)43s.; Philadel¬ 
phia and Baltimore, 42s. 8d@41s. 3d.; Ohio, 42s. 
Gd@45s.; inferior and sour 37s@38s. and 39s. 
White wheat 12s. id@l2s. 7d.; others say 12s. 
9d. Mixed 12s. 2d. 
White Indian corn, 39s@51s.; yellow and mix¬ 
ed, 49s@50s. 
Arrival of the Arabia. 
The royal mail steamship Arabia, from Liver¬ 
pool on the 21st, of Jan., arrived at Halifax, Feb. 
4th, bringing 79 passengers. 
The Pacific from New York on the 7th inst., 
reached Liverpool at noon on the 18th ult. 
The Golden Age steamer from New York, via 
Liverpool for Australia, put into St. Vincent for 
coal and sailed again on the 19th of December, 
all well. 
Up to the sailing of the Arabia there had been 
no definite intelligence from St. Petersburg, as 
to the decision of the Czar in regard to the last 
note of the four powers. Europe was waiting 
with trembling anxiety for the final answer of 
the Czar, which it was apprehended would be 
of a character equivalent to a declaration of war 
against England and France. His answer was 
hourly expected. 
Richardson <fc Brothers, in referring to bread- 
stuffs, quote heavy market in the fore part of 
the week, but at the close a better feeling, and 
prices improved. Flour, Wheat and Corn sold 
on Friday, at about the rates current on the 17th 
inst., say Western Canal Flour 42s. Gd@ 13s. 9d; 
Ikdtimorc and Philadelphia, 44s. 3d@44s. Gd. 
White wheat 12s. Gd@l3s. 
Corn was firm at the rates current on the 14th 
ultimo. 
Gardner <t Co. quote provisions firm and rath¬ 
er higher. For laid there was a large specula¬ 
tive inquiry, and sales had been made at 58s. 
Increase, of the British Navy. —The British 
government intends to raise the number of sea¬ 
men and marines for 1854-5 to 53,000 men, 
which is an increase of 8,000 on the number vot¬ 
ed last year, and 13,000 since 1852. The min¬ 
isterial journal, after giving this on <lil, proceeds 
to show in detail the strength of the British steam 
fleet. It appears tliat there are in the navy 23 
screw steamers, eleven of which are line-of-bat- 
tle ships carrying 1,547 guns, and of 10,340 horse 
power; that omitting vessels of inferior class, 
there are nine powerful paddle-wheel steamers, 
carrying 1G9 guns, and of 4,730 horse power, 
whilst there arc now building, and will proba¬ 
bly be afloat in a few months, 13 screw steam¬ 
ers, carrying 1,056. All these of course are in 
addition to the sailing fleet of Great Britain, 
amounting to above 500 vessels of all denomi¬ 
nations. 
St Valentine’s Day. 
St. Valentine’s Day, which is near at hand, 
has been rendered sacred or rather accursed on 
account of a superstitions notion formerly en¬ 
tertained, that upon this particular day the birds 
of the forest choose their mates. The idea must, 
as of course it did, originate in another country 
and another clime than ours, for there are no 
birds in our denuded and cheerless forest to 
choose mates at this inclement season, except 
the poor little cliick-a-dee and the carrion crow; 
the latter, certainly anything but a sacred or a 
poetical bird. 
In imitation of these supposed tendencies of 
the feathered songsters, the genus hominum has 
made St. Valentine’s day an occasion for love- 
making demonstrations, and divers epistles and 
missives, in the shape of spitted hearts, nude 
babies with wings, Ac., Ac., circulate to and fro. 
It is not this foolish custom so much as its pro¬ 
fanation that we condemn, for it is made the 
special occasion for the free venting of spleen 
maliguity, envy, hatred, and all uncharitable¬ 
ness ; and gives opportunity for the display of 
all the evil passions and unamiable traits of hu¬ 
man character. The disgusting array of car¬ 
icatures and vulgar prints just now on exhibi¬ 
tion in some of our shop windows, is as shocking 
to good taste as it is perverting to moral princi¬ 
ple, and any young man who would even select 
a gingerbread and paper-laced five dollar Valen¬ 
tine, out of such a company of pictures, ought 
to receive a peremptory dismission from his lady¬ 
love. 
A five dollar present, in the shape of an inter¬ 
esting and valuable book, from a young man to 
the girl of his heart, is an act worthy of all 
praise ; but a useless piece of cut. and bedizzen- 
ed satin paper for a present, is not worth the 
sixpence paid the post-boy for its delivery. To 
the young men then, we would say—if you de¬ 
sire to make a present to a young lady, give her 
a good book or something capable of improving 
both the head and the heart; if you cherish any 
ill will against any one, dismiss it at once, for 
anger resteth only in the bosom of fools ; and 
above all, do not hide yourself behind the veil of 
an anomymous correspondent, or a disgusting 
Valentine, for it is an act of cowardice that 
ought to make the perpetrator ashamed to look 
even a decent dog in the face. 
A Powerful Locomotive. —A new and pow¬ 
erful coal-burning locomotive has just been 
completed for the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. 
It. is designed for the heaviest of the mountain 
grades, commencing at Piedmont, 207 miles 
from Baltimore, and running about 60 miles._ 
The engine has ten wheels, six of which arc 
drivers, and a truck- of four wheels. The dri¬ 
vers arc 50 inches diameter, and the truck 30. 
The cylinders measure 19 inches in diameter, 
with 20 inches stroke of piston. The cylinder 
part ot the boiler is 43 inches diameter and 14 
teet long. The drivers are connected, and have 
a weight of 45,000 lbs. equally distributed be¬ 
tween them by means of levers and springs.— 
The whole weight of the engine in running or¬ 
der is 60,000 lbs. or 30 tons, and the entire length 
from back of foot-board to point of fender in 
front, 28 feet. It is supplied with a cut-off, for 
working steam expansively. This .engine is in¬ 
tended to draw live passenger cars up the heavy 
grades at a speed of twenty miles per hour. 
A True Yankee. —A young man in this- city, 
wrote to a gentleman in Northampton, recently, 
signifying that he had unexpectedly been 
thrown out of employment, and requested the 
pei-son whom he addressed to procure him “ a 
situation.” He .said he would like to work at 
“sawing, or making doors and blinds—few 
[said he] can beat me at that; or I should like 
to get into a livery stable ; or any of the stores, 
as salesman, for 1 am a good one, and understand 
the business ; or, to drive a team, I will be on 
hand ; or, a chance to peddle stoves; or, a chance 
to tend a saw-mill; or, almost anything else ; 
—get me a chance, and I will be on hand.” Of 
course such a young man was not destitute of 
employment many days. He has got a “ smart 
chance,” and a right smart fellow he is improv¬ 
ing it,— Springfield Republican. 
JlW* Emigrants embarked at Limerick during 
the past year of 1853, for Canada. 5,226 ; United 
States, 2,304. Total, 7,530, in 45 vessels from 
that port. 
Death of Missionaries. —Three female Mis¬ 
sionaries of the American Baptist Missionary 
Union have recently deceased—Mrs. Rose, of the 
Mission in Arracan, British Burmah, and Mrs. 
Shermer and Mrs. Crocker, of the Mission to the 
Ba«as, West Africa—all within a year of their 
residence. Mrs. Rose was the wife of the liev. 
A. T. Rose, and sister of the late Rev. H. M. 
Campbell, of the Arracan Mission. Mrs. Sher¬ 
mer was the wife of the Rev. H. B. Shermer, 
who is himself obliged to retire from the mission 
by ill health. Mrs. Crocker was the widow of 
the late Rev. W. G. Crocker, and had resided in 
the country since his death, and was re-appoint¬ 
ed to accompany two missionary families sent 
out about a year since .—Boston Trav, 
British Vessels. —The number of vessels be¬ 
longing to the several ports of the British Em¬ 
pire in the year 1814, was 24,418, with an aggre¬ 
gate capacity of 2,616,965 tons, and employing 
172,786 men and boys. In 1853, the total num¬ 
ber was 34,402 vessels, with a tonnage of 4 424,- 
392 tons, employing 243,512 men "and boys— 
showing an increase of 41 per cent, of vessels, 
72 per cent of tonnage, and 40 percent of men. 
In the year 1852, 733 sailing and 9 steam vessels 
of an aggregate tonnage of 143,785, belonging 
to the United Kingdom, were wrecked ; and 78 
sailing and 29 steam vessels, of an aggiegate 
C ii m me r c tit l. 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
One interesting feature in the finance department, which 
was mentioned last week, still continues, to wit: the almost 
entire cessation of shipments of the precious metals abroad. 
The foreign demand for breadstufi's at such high figures, 
added to the usual supply of the great American staple, 
cotton, will have a tendency more nearly to equalize our 
exchanges with foreign nations. The total specie exports 
for the week have been only about $60,000; but small as 
that figure is, it exceeds the imports, as there have been no 
California arrivals in the mean time. 
The total coinage of gold for January at the mint was 
$3,2(4,388, exclusive of $308,883 in bars. Whole amount 
of gold passing through the Mint, $3,643,271. The silver 
coinage was in halves, quarters and dimes, and amounted 
to $607,000. There were also coined during the month, 
$80,221 cents. The total deposits of gold bullion was $4,- 
201,000 against 5,446,817 deposited in December. Silver 
bullion deposited $108,000. 
The total amount of gold coinage at the four U. States 
Mints during the the year 1853, was $55,213,000; silver, 
$9,077,571; copper $67,060; a grand total of $64,357,631. 
The total amount of receipts from the canals of the State 
for the fiscal year ending the 30th of Sept., was $3,204,718- 
05. In 1851 the receipts were $3,329,304 60; and in 1852 
$3,118,244 39. The expenditure for the present year, in¬ 
cluding the enlargement fund, was $371,284 98. The am’t 
expended during the year 1852 was $824,533 63. 
The Central Railroad paid out in dividends on the 1st inst, 
more than a million dollars. The Rochester and Niagara 
Falls road, which is now a portion of the consolidated line, 
has also declared a surplus dividend of 2 per cent on its 
original stock. 
Tile Commercial Bank of this city has declared a semi¬ 
annual dividend of five per cent.
