MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Jorrijn Intelligence. 
Arrival of the Baltic. 
The Collins mail steamship Baltic, arrived at 
New York, Jan. 12. 
She left Liverpool at 9 o’clock on Thursday 
evening, 29th ult. 
The news affecting the Turko-Russian war is 
highly important. The Divan met on the 18th 
ult., when, after a long and animated discussion, 
it was resolved to authorize the ministry to 
state that the Sublime Forte would willingly 
send a plenipotentiary to some place in neutral 
territory for the purpose of treating for peace, 
and at the same time would be willing to accept 
the guaranty of the four powers that the prin¬ 
cipalities should be evacuated immediately up¬ 
on the conclusion of a peace. 
On the contrary, we learn that the Czar, in 
non-official communications to the courts of 
Berlin and Vienna, has stated his determination 
not to agree to any proposition for peace, unless 
considerable concessions were made to Russia. 
The question had become much more com¬ 
plicated by the intrigues of Russia in Sweden, 
Persia and India, and according to the general 
tone of the English press, a general war through¬ 
out Europe and Asia is now inevitable. 
The only event of political importance is the 
decision of Lord Palmerston to retain office.— 
The reason assigned is that his differences with 
government on the Reform bill have been ad¬ 
justed. The Tinted renews its assertion that the 
foreign affairs had nothing whatever to do with 
his tender of resignation. 
Letters from Paris distinctly state that Louis 
Napoleon was very peremptory in his determi¬ 
nation to protect Turkey after the affair at Sin¬ 
ope. 
PROGRESS OF THE WAR. 
The allied fleet it was said had entered the 
Black Sea, although the public are unaware 
with what instructions they entered. 
This lack of information, which appears so 
remarkable to Americans, is far from being the 
result of accident. The governments of Europe 
keep the telegraph in their hands, and suffer 
nothing to pass over it but what suits their pur¬ 
pose. 
The Turks are preparing for an expedition 
against Sebastopol. 
The overland Indian mail brings confirmation 
that the Shah of Persia left Teheran with his 
army—30,000 cavalry, 1,000 cannon and 3,000 
camel loads of ammunition to aid Russia. At 
latest accounts they had passed Tabrez. The 
Shah had also sent an envoy to Dost Mahomed 
to point out the advantage of his siding with 
Persia and the Russians. 
Odessa letters of the 8th state positively that 
the Jagondib, 90 gun Russian ship, was lost at 
the battle of Sinope. This ship was bravely at¬ 
tacked by a Turkish frigate and both vessels 
blown up. 
Admiral Osman Pacha has himself had a 
limb amputated, and now lies in a dangerous 
state. 
The Turks estimate their loss at Sinope, in 
ships, munitions and treasure, at 20 millions of 
piastres. 
The detailed account of the massacre of Sin¬ 
ope, brought by the English frigate Retribution, 
confirms the previous statements which had 
been made as to the heroism of the Turks, the 
unrelenting ferocity of the victors, and the la¬ 
mentable extent of the disaster which has oc¬ 
curred. Aii Bey, the captain of the frigate Na- 
vick, finding a combat with a Russian line-of- 
battle-ship hopeless, threw a lighted match into 
his powder magazine, and blew up his own ves¬ 
sel and that of the enemy. The Turkish Ad¬ 
miral, in a small frigate, only yielded to a three- 
decker of 120 guns, after he had inflicted con¬ 
siderable damage on his opponent, and had him¬ 
self lost a leg in the action. In no naval en¬ 
gagement recorded in modern times has a hope¬ 
less resistance to overwhelming force been main¬ 
tained with more desperate resolution. 
According to a letter of a Constantinople cor¬ 
respondent, out of 4,490 Ottoman sailors, only 
1 ,G8i)—and those mostly wounded—survived the 
battle. 
The details of the past events do not bear out 
the victories claimed By the Russians. 
The European residents of Smyrna, have col¬ 
lected 300,000 francs to send to the Frank vol¬ 
unteers in the Turkish army. The Governor of 
Smyrna and the French Consul General have 
given orders to seize all incendiary publications 
coming from Greece. 
On the lltli of December, the anniversary of 
the birth of Mahomet was celebrated with very 
great splendor at Constantinople. 
It was very generally reported in all the prin¬ 
cipalities that an armistice during the winter 
mouths would be agreed upon. But this would 
enable Russia to take the field in the spring 
with not much short of 180,000 men. 
It appeal’s that the Moldavo-Wallachian mi¬ 
litia, recently incorporated with the Russian 
forces, cannot be trusted in the field against the 
Turks. They are therefore to be employed to 
do garrison duty in the principalities. 
Arrival of the Europa. 
The Europa arrived at New York, Jan. IGth, 
with 21 passengers. 
Lord W. Stuart is at Constantinople endeavor¬ 
ing to induce Die Porte to enroll an European 
Polish Legion, to entice desertion of Poles from 
the Russian army. 
The ratification of the treaty between Russia 
and Persia was done at St. Petersburg, Decem¬ 
ber 18th. The Persians were daily expected to 
attack Bagdad. 
Turkey has formally accepted the Persian 
declaration of war. The Shall of Persia has dis¬ 
missed all French, English, German and Italian 
officers from his army. 
The British Parliament is appointed to mec 
for business, Jan. 31st 
There had been a severe storm on the Black 
Sea, anti 80 sail lost 
Cant. Dearl, of the steamer Prince, from Liv¬ 
erpool for Dublin, reports having seen a large 
screw steamer sink in the recent gale in tin 
Channel. Much anxiety is felt to know what 
steamer is missing. 
At Constantinople the Porte is acting in the 
most friendly accord with the representatives of 
the powers. 
On the 20th, a company of Wallachin militia 
seized their newly appointed Russian officers, 
beat them soundly, and then deserted with five 
of them to Kalafat 
The Chronicle states that the Turks have rais¬ 
ed the siege of Akiska and Alexandrianople.— 
20,000 Turkish irregulars have been repulsed.— 
Abder Pasha, Commander-in-Chief, lias resign¬ 
ed. Ahmed Pasha replaces him. 
On the 15th, the four powers presented a note 
demanding an armistice. 
Halil Pasha’s entrance into the Ministry is re¬ 
garded as favorable to the projected peace. 
Vienna, Friday.—Turkish bulletins acknowl¬ 
edge the evacuation of Russian territory in Asia. 
The English Consul at Teheran, mediates be¬ 
tween Persia and the Porte. 
It was rumored in Paris on the 29th, that Min¬ 
ister Soule had fought the third duel with the 
Duke of Alba, and was killed. It wants con¬ 
firmation. 
Liverpool Breadstuffs. —The arrivals of for¬ 
eign breadstuffs continue moderate, and millers 
and dealers have been obliged to purchase freely 
at an advance of 4d@6d. on the week. Flour 
fully Is. p< r barrel dearer. Indian corn in bet¬ 
ter demand at ls@ls. (id. on the week. 
Liverpool Provisions. —All the provision cir¬ 
culars report nothing doing in beef. No sales of 
American or French pork. Bacon, new, is sell¬ 
ing at about 45s.; no sales of old. Lard lower, 
50s. taken to clear put stock ; 200 tons f iow re¬ 
maining on hand in speculators^hands. Cheese, 
little offering and prices firm. Apples have been 
much injuired; some of first quality realized 60s. 
Kane’s Arctic Expedition. 
A letter from Dr. Kano, giving the experi¬ 
ences of the Arctic Expedition under his com¬ 
mand, up to July 20, has been communicated to 
the N. Y. Tribune. It is the first, letter received 
since the expedition sailed, and it is written 
in a hopeful and encouraging spirit. The gal¬ 
lant commander describes a calm of twelve 
day’s duration which came over them, and they 
lay almost still. Ancient-Mariner-like, like a 
painted ship upon a painted ocean. This calm 
began on the 30th of June. Then a stiff breeze 
set in from the South, hauling shore wards, and 
sending them on at the rate of eight knots an 
hour. During the calm. Commander Kane had 
sent into Sukertoppen and laid in a good supply 
of reindeer skins, filling at the same time his 
water casks. At the rate he was going, he ex¬ 
pected to make laefly the night he was writing, 
and Proven in two days more. The Northwest¬ 
ers he thought must have cleared the ice from 
Melville Bay, and if the wind hauled a little 
more to the eastward, the ice would not drive 
back again. The commander then described 
his procedures for undertaking a sledge jour¬ 
ney, and his plans generally. Il was his inten¬ 
tion to remain in the brig as long as possible, 
seeking a harbor on the eastern side of Smith’s 
Sound. The moment the vessel comes to an¬ 
chor, he will leave Olsen, a trustworthy man in 
charge, to prepare for winter quarters, drop his 
whaleboat, with himself, the Esquimaux and 
seven men, and take advantage of inshore tide- 
leads to continue his journey to the north. 
Railroad Accident. —The Chicago Tribune 
says: On the evening of the 12th inst., about 6 
o’clock, a construction train belonging to the 
Illinois Central Road, came into collision, while 
backing on the track, about four miles below the 
city, with the evening train going towards 
that place. The engineer of the construction 
train, fearful for his own safety, reversed his 
own engine and sprang off. The shock threw 
one of his rear cars off the track and uncoupled 
it from the remainder of the train, which rushed 
on toward the.depot at a lightning speed, where 
it. buried itself in a freight car of the train made 
up for the morning. There were fortunately no 
lives lost, and no one injured. 
Gold and Silver in Wayne County. —It is a 
current report that there is a placer of gold in 
this county. It appears that it was known to 
the Indians who inhabited this section previous 
to the advancement of civilization, and lias been 
handl'd down from generation to generation. 
'Fhe knowledge of the location is now in the 
possession of a man resident near us, who ob¬ 
tained Iris information from an Italian, at Green 
Bay, Wisconsin. The exact locality was found 
by marked stones as described by the Indian, 
which was found to correspond exactly with 
history. We understand the placer is in the 
town of Wolcott; and the owner of the secret is 
only waiting an opportunity to possess himself 
of the land in which it is situated, or permission 
to work it, to avail himself of the secret. No 
need of going to California now ; gold at home 
and plenty of it. We hope our Wolcott friends 
won’t advance the price of their lands so as to be 
beyond the reach of purchasers, on this account. 
—Clyde Times, YSth. 
Maine Law. —The Albany correspondent of 
the New York Daily Times says, “There can be 
no doubt that the question (of a prohibitory 
law) will be submitted to the people, and prob¬ 
ably at the same time as the amendments to the 
Constitution. To obviate the Constitutional ob¬ 
jections, the question submitted will be : “Shall 
a law be passed prohibiting the sale of liquor ? 
and if decided in the affirmative, then the law 
will be drawn and passed by the Legislature.” 
Important Rumor.— The Springfield, Mass., 
Republican of Satur day says there is a very cur¬ 
rent rumor in that city, for which good authori¬ 
ty is given, that the Supreme Court of the State 
have come to a decision unfavorable to the con¬ 
stitutionality of the seizing and destroying fea¬ 
tures of the present anti-liquor law. 
Plymouth Church. — Last Tuesday evening 
week, a sale of pews in this church, (H. Ward 
Beecher’s,) in Brooklyn, was made for one year. 
One hundred and sixty-three rented for $10,047 
25. One hundred and thirty-six are unsold.

rivals muce our last, and consequently there has been no 
additions to the specie list, while at the same time it has 
continued to move off towards the commercial cities of the 
old world, at about the usual rates. The Africa took out 
on the 11th, $900,000, and the Propeller Alps $222,793.— 
The new steamer Nashville bad also $40,000 in specie on 
her manifest. 
The Tribune says the balanoe the in Sub-Treasury nt N.

The Imports of the week other than dry goods, were $1,- 
455,236. The exports of the week, exclusive of specie, are 
$1,509,807, including nearly $1,100,000 of breadstuffs. 
The comparative receipts of the New York Central Rail¬ 
road for the past five months have been compared with 
those of last year as follows:—1853, $2,4S7,740.12 ; 1852, 
$1,948,898.09. Increase in five months, $53S,841.43. This

Rochester, Jan. 19th, 1854 
Prices of farm products have gone up generally, all 
around the board. The bust European advices by the Eu¬ 
ropa, have pushed Wheat and Elour still higher, and the 
general impression is, that the end is not yet. still the ex¬ 
cellent prices now ruling, ought to bring out the stored up 
grain more freely. Flour is quoted at $7,87@8; Wheat at 
$1,76@1,78. Mill Feed, not much in market—prices areas 
follows:—Fine Middlings 37)£@44c. V bush.; Coarse do. 
17@18?4c do.; Shorts or Bran 12)£@14c do. 
Pork is active and higher, quoted at $5,75@5,87. Sheep’s 
carcasses also higher, ranging from $4@5 f cwt. Turkeys 
8@9c. Hay $8 to $13 per ton. 
Other things not quoted at any actual advance, but the 
market sympathizes with the buoyancy of tiie more im¬ 
portant staples.

Til k Loss of the Staffordshire. —The Halifax 
Chronicle gives a few brief details of the ill-fated 
Staffordshire. Mr. Alden, the chief mate, and 
the steward had reached Halifax. They were 
badly frost bitten. In the gale a day previous 
to the wrecking, the Staffordshire lost foretop- 
mast, foreyard, and sprung bowsprit. Captain 
Richardson had dislocated his ankle, but was on 
deck giving orders when the ship struck. In 10 
minutes after striking, the ship went down.— 
When the boats left the ship, the water was even 
with the upper deck. Capt Richardson, when 
urged to save himself, refused to leave the ship, 
saying that if it was the will of Heaven that slie 
should sink, he would not desert his passengers. 
One hundred and seventy-five persons went 
down in the ship. 
-Three persons have died in Hudson—two 
men and a woman—from eating putrid meat.

An Illustrated Magazine for the Young. Monthly; Fifty 
Cents a Year, invariably in advance. E. F. Beadle 
Publisher, Buffalo, N. Y. 
The Third Volume of the Youth’s Casket commences 
with January, 1854. The publication has now become well 
established in the public confidence and estimation, and it

creased patronage and support. The Casket is devoted to 
the best interests of the young, combining instruction and 
amusement, in a style suited to the capacities of those for 
whom it is designed. Useful knowledge is made attractive 
by being presented in a pleasant garb, and moral lessons 
are enforced, not in hard, didactic sentences, but in the form 
of tales and stories, toward which tiie youthful mind is in¬ 
stinctively drawn. And the Pictorial Illustrations, which 
are in profusion in every number afford great aid in inter¬ 
esting and fixing the attention of the young reader, and in 
impressing what is read, upon the memory. 
The Casket is printed on good paper, from clear tvpe; 
and is published in monthly numbers of twenty-four pages 
each, making altogether, at the close of the year, a hand¬ 
some volume of nearly 300 large magazine pages. 
The January number, which commences the volume for 
1854, is now ready for mailing; it contains a splendid tinted 
engraving, enlilled, “ Going to School;" which will form a 
beautiful frontispiece to the volume.

copies, one year, $9.
