Tkh Cruisk of ins Steam Yacht North Star; a Narra¬ 
tive of the Excursion of Mr. Vandebii.t’s Party to En¬ 
gland, Russia, Denmark, France, Spain, Italy, Malta, 
Turkey, Madeira, etc. By the Rev. John' Overton 
Choulks, D. D. Boston: Gould & Lincoln.— 1854. 
This is an exceedingly entertaining volume, 
embracing a detailed account of one of the most 
remarkable excursions on record. The excur¬ 
sion of the North Star created a wide sensation, 
at home and abroad — and foreigners were es¬ 
pecially astonished that a private citizen of 
America — a simple merchant — should surpass 
the princes of the Old World, by expending 
half a million of dollars in taking his family and 
friends on a pleasure-trip to Europe, and “ the 
rest of mankind.” The idea was certainly novel, 
and such as only a member of the “universal 
Yankee Nation” would be likely to originate 
and prosecute. Dr. Ciioulk’s agreeable narra¬ 
tive will prove a prize to many, and may be 
read with interest and profit by those who have 
been satiated with ordinary books of travel.— 
The volume is elegantly “got up,” and illustra¬ 
ted with portraits, views of cities, scenery, Ac.

Elliott’s Fruit Book ; or the American Fruit-Grower’s 
Guide in Orchard and Garden. Being a Compend of 
the History, Modes of Propagation, Culture, &e., of Fruit 
Trees and Shrubs, with descriptions of nearly all the 
varieties of fruits cultivated in this country ; notes of 
their adaptation to localities and soils, ami also a com¬ 
plete list of fruits worthy of cultivation. By F. R. Elli¬ 
ott. New York : C. M. Saxton.— 1854. 
This is a handsome volume of some 500 pages, 
profusely illustrated, containing descriptions and 
lists of fruits worthy of general cultivation, of 
amateur cultivation, and of such as are umcorlhy 
of cultivation. The author is a resident of the 
West, and the book is better adapted to the 
Western than to the Eastern States. It contains 
much matter of practical value to fruit growers 
in the new States, but for general circulation it 
is inferior to Downing’s “ Fruits and Fruit 
Trees,” Thomas’s “Fruit Culturist,” or Barry’s 
“ Fruit Garden.” We are sorry Mr. Elliott has 
not confined his remarks to Western fruits and 
Western cultivation, — for, in endeavoring to 
make the work general, he had necessarily to 
say much which had been said before in a much 
better style. For sale by D. M. Dewey. 
The Religions of the World and their Relation* to Chris¬ 
tianity. By Frederick Denison Maurice. M. A., Chap¬ 
lain of Lincoln's Inn, and Prof, of Divinity in King's 
College, London. Boston : Gould & Lincoln.— 1854. 
This is the title of a volume of 260 pages, re¬ 
printed from the third London edition. It com¬ 
prises the substance of a series of Lectures 
delivered in one of the London Churches — 
embracing, among other subjects, Mohometan- 
ism ; the Hindoo faith ; Buddhism ; and the old 
Persian, the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, and Go- 
thian faiths. The concluding lectures discuss 
the relations of the various religions to Christi¬ 
anity. The work is worthy the attention of the 
Christian public. For sale by Sage.

A fifth edition of this excellent treatise has 
just been issued. Every one engaged in the cul¬ 
tivation of the Grape, especially for wine making 
purposes, will find much valuable information, 
and parctical experience, in this pleasant little 
volume. 
Dewey lias received Chambers’ Journal of 
Popular Literature, tic., part 1st of a new series. 
Every one knows that Chambers’ publications 
heretofore have been very popular and valua¬ 
ble ; and the present issue appeal's not a whit 
behind any of its predecessors. 
California flete. 
Arrival of the United States. 
The steamer United States arrived at New 
Orleans March 23d, from Aspinwall. She left 
Aspinwall on the 13th ; the steamer Ohio was to 
sail for New York on the 20th with $1,000,000, 
and 200 passengers. 
Advices from Walker’s expedition are to Feb. 
15th. The ships Columbus and Portsmouth 
reached Ensenada on the 14th. Walker spiked 
his guns and started for San Thomas with 140 
men, and one field-piece, leaving behind the sick 
and wounded. Many of his troops deserted.— 
Those remaining were dependent, and had aban¬ 
doned all hopes of success. 
Col. Watkins and Capt. Davidson were arrest¬ 
ed at San Francisco on the 23d of February,— 
charged with treasonable connection with Walk¬ 
er and his expedition. They were held to bail 
in $10,000 each. A warrant had been issued 
against Major Baird, who also stands charged 
with treason. 
The mining accounts are exceedingly fovora- 
blo. The quantity of gold dug was the largest 
for many mouths. All the miners were pros¬ 
pering. 
An Indian from the interior, at Panama, says 
a strange party were killed by wild beasts. The 
story was not believed. It was supposed that a 
party had been killed by the Indians. 
Arrival of the Northern Light 
The Northern Light, from San Juan, arrived 
at New York March 25th, with 350 passengers 
and $700,000 in gold. She connected with the 
Sierra Nevada, which left San Francisco on the 
evening of tlu> 15th. The Northern Light was 
detained two days, in consequence of the deten¬ 
tion of the Steamer Central America on the 
lake by a severe gale. 
In Oregon, a bill had passed ordering a vote 
on the inundation of a State Government. 
Dates from Honolulu are to Feb. 4th. An¬ 
nexation was still talked of. 
Intelligence item Lower California states that 
the {filibusters had nearly all left, and those re¬ 
maining were suffering for provisions. 
The Maine Liquor Law had been introduced 
to the California Legislature.

Arrival of the Pacific. 
The Pacific arrived at New York March 23d, 
with one week’s later dates from Europe; 
A third edition of the London Morning Her¬ 
ald of March 8th, announces the arrival of a 
messenger who was immediately closeted with 
the Queen, and brought the announcement that 
the Russians had carried Kalafat,and massacred 
all within its walls. No details are given, and 
it is generally regarded as false ; but it is need¬ 
less to say that the statement, whether true or 
false, has left the public in the most trembling 
state of anxiety. 
Turkey. —A camp of 30,000 is forming at 
Odessa, and considerable additions are being 
made to the fortifications at Sebastopol. 
On the 17r.li of February, a conflict took 
place, by mistake, between two columns of the 
Russian army. For several days a Turkish 
corps, 4,000 strong had been posted at Cuiper- 
ceni. On this corps the Russians determined to 
make an onslaught during the night of the 16th, 
and for this purpose two columns were brought 
up, each from 4,000 to 5,000 strong. Each party 
mistook the other for hostile Turks, and instant¬ 
ly opened a terrific cannonade, which was re¬ 
turned with deadly effect. Pressing towards 
each other it came, ere long, to a close fire of 
small arms. The combat lasted for an hour and 
a half, until, when day dawned, the combatants 
saw with horror the error they had committed. 
The loss of killed and wounded is reckoned by 
the Russians themselves at several hundred. 
The United States Minister has presented his 
credentials to the Sultan, and made an address 
assuring the Sultan of the sympathy of the 
people of the United States. 
There is nothing new from the Danube, so 
far as the relative positions of the two armies 
are concerned. Operations of magnitude are re¬ 
tarded by the bad weather, but a constant suc¬ 
cession of minor encounters are reported. 
The Austrian government has published an 
official document, in which it makes known its 
views in regard to the differences between Rus¬ 
sia and Turkey. In this document the Austrian 
government expresses regret that the communi¬ 
cation sent by the Western Powers to Russia is 
of such a nature as to leave hardly any hope of 
a favorable reply. The document proceeds to 
say that it was never doubted by the Imperial 
government that the demands of those Rowel's 
were just and in accordance with the interests 
of Europe. Till the last, the Imperial govern¬ 
ment has obeyed the calls of duty to Europe 
and those of friendship to its Imperial ally.— 
Should the war take place, the sole duty of the 
Austrian government is to maintain the interest 
of the nations under the sceptre of his Majesty, 
which interest is not in conflict with any other 
nation. 
The Baltic. —The Hecla has surveyed the 
Kiel, and reported it suitable for great fieets.— 
The Prussian government has rejected the sug¬ 
gestion of Russia to forbid the entrance of the 
fleets of the Western Powers into Prussian 
ports. 
France. —The Moniteur publishes in full the 
Czar’s reply to the Emperor Napoleon’s letter. 
The Legislative Assembly has agreed to the 
bill authorizing the Minister of Finance to con¬ 
tract a loan of 250,000,000 francs. The bill 
was agreed to unanimously, without discussion, 
by the 238 members who were present. 
Spain. —The London Times correspondent 
mentions that at a recent concert it was observ¬ 
ed that the King and Queen paid marked dis¬ 
tinction to the American Minister and lady, and 
that, similar attentions were shown at a grand 
ball given by the Queen Mother. Court gossip 
sees in it a roundabout way of casting a slight 
on Napoleon, whose Ambassador Mr. Soule 
lately wounded in a duel. 
Russia.— Direct advices from St. Petersburgli 
are to February 24th, at which date scarcely 
anything was doing in produce. Telegraphic 
accounts represent businessas almost suspended, 
and further stated that an order had been issued 
totally to stop the.exportation of wheat. 
The Gazette de la Baltique announces, under 
date St. Petersburg!!, February 27t.h, that the 
Russian Government has just prohibited the ex¬ 
port of corn and breadstuff's by the Black Sea 
and the Sea of Azof. 
Government is indefatigable in exertions to 
inflame the minds of the people. Every day 
processions of priests traverse the streets of St. 
Petersburgli, exhibiting relics of the saints of 
the Greek calendar, and the clergy everywhere 
preach to ai ms in support of the orthodox faith. 
These demonstrations dispirit the mercantile 
and wealthy classes. 
Sweden. —It was reliably stated that the 
Russian government having declared that it 
cannot accept or recognize the announcement 
of neutrality on the part of Sweden, the Swed¬ 
ish government has replied that no change can 
he made ; further that Sweden was prepared to 
defend that policy, and has commenced to 
make defensive preparations accordingly.

ELINOR, wife of Jasper H. Bixby, aged 26 years. 
Mrs. B. was prized and is mourned by all who knew her, 
as one who exemplified every womanly virtue. Her ill¬ 
ness was protracted and severe; the ties that bound her to 
earth were of the strongest character, but patiently and 
meekly she submitted to the stroke, and gave then, as in 
her previous life, most consoling evidence of her prepara¬ 
tion for eternity. Death waa to her no terror: it was the 
messenger of Endless Life calling her home to her Savior 
and her God.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE 
Movements in the precious metals have been more ac¬ 
tive during the past week. The San Juan steamer North¬ 
ern Light, arrived at New York, March 25th, with $615,1100 
on freight and $200,000 in the hands of passengers. The 
Aspinwall steamer is on her way with a million more of 
gold on board. 
The steamer Asia, which sailed on the 22d of March, 
took out $306,800; and the Washington, on the 25th for 
Bremen, $201,000 more. 
A bill has been introduced into the New York Legisla¬ 
ture to empower the Central Railroad Company to mort¬ 
gage its corporate franchises and property to the amount 
of $15,000,000. This sum would cover their bonds and 
other liabilities, and leave some six millions to complete 
the contemplated improvements of a double track, depots, 
&c., &c. 
The amount of the United States debt redeemed last 
week, was $335,400, leaving $52,541,372 unpaid. The bal¬ 
ance in the New York Sub-Treasury is over 8,000,000. 
The total valuation of real and personal property assess¬ 
ed for the taxation of 1853, in Indiana, amounts to the sum 
of $266,097,614, being an increase of $45,533,805 over the 
assessed value of the taxable property of the State for the 
preceding fiscal year. 
The Tribune says:—The aggregate Imports of last week, 
although large, were about $1,300,000 less than for the 
same week of last year. The aggregate of the year thus 
far, shows a decrease of two and a half millions, as com¬ 
pared with the same period of last year. The aggregate 
exports of the first eleven weeks of the year are $15,700,- 
000 against $9,700,000 last year during the same time.

Rochester, March 29, 1854. j 
The continuance of tempestuous weather, with “ Win¬ 
ter lingering in the lap of Spring,” gives no chance for re¬ 
newed activity ; and very little is doing in the Wheat and 
Flour trade. Prices in grain had a tendency to stiffen a 
few days past, but the arrival of the Africa yesterday, 
weakened them again, and no change need therefore be 
made in quotations. Corn lower, and rated at 68@70c.

Arrival of the Africa. 
The Africa, from Liverpool, at 9 A. M., of the j 
11 tli, arrived at New York, March 28. 
r: statement that Kalafat was captured by 
the Russians, was an atrocious falsehood, totally 
unfounded. 
No fighting worth notice, has taken place, 
either on the Danube or in Asia. 
A messenger, with France and England’s ul¬ 
timatum to the Czar, left Vienna on the 7th for 
St. Petersburg. Prussia and Austria have not 
signed this ultimatum. 
The first portion of fourteen British ships, un¬ 
der Admiral Chas. Napier, sailed from Falmouth 
March 11th, for the Baltic. It is reported 
tha 3000 British troops will go to the Baltic for 
land service. 
The 77tli regiment embarked on the 11th for 
Turkey. The allied fleets were at Bevcoz Bay. 
The bulk of the Russian fleet was at Sebastopol, 
with some ships at Secumkale. Both fleets had 
cruisers in the Black Sea. 
Some excitement was created in commercial 
circles by Lord Clarendon’s announcement to 
Riga merchants, that all Russian produce, to 
whomsoever belonging, and even in neutral ves¬ 
sels shall be lawful prize in the event of war. 
Liverpool Breaiistuffs.— Liberal arrivals and 
fine weather had caused dullness in the market. 
Holders not generally pressing, but in some in¬ 
stances a reduction of 2d@3d on Wheat, and 
ls@ls6d on Flour was taken; thus losing the 
improvement of last week. Indian Corn steady 
and unchanged. 
Liverpool Provisions. —Gardner <fc Co. report 
Beef active and steady. Pork in fair demand, 
and tending upward. Bacon is just steady, at 
previous value. Lard dull, small sales 56s.— 
Cheese in less demand. Tallow 15s. dearer—no 
sellers at below 65s.

DAVIS’S PATENT ADJUSTABLE CHURN AND 
BUTTER-WORKER COMBINED. 
The above engraving represents a recent and very valu¬ 
able improvement in Churns, denominated Adjustable 
Churn and Butter Worker, invented by Robert W. Davis 
and Daniel Davis, of Rogersville, Steuben county, N. Y , 
and secured Ivy letters patent bearing date Feb. 28th, 1854. 
Messrs. Davis are the inventors of the celebrated “Self- 
Adjusting Churn,” patented April 2d, 1850, which has sur¬ 
passed all other articles of the kind ever in use, an exact 
copy of which received the highest premium nt the world’s 
fair in London, and also the highest premiums have been 
awarded it at many State and County Fairs. The Adjust¬ 
able Churn and Butter-Worker is not merely an improve- 
. ment on the “Self-Adjusting Churn,” as some may sup- 
• pose, but is entirely different in its construction, accom- 
! plishing the same objects in a more complete and peifect 
manner. 
All communications addressed to R. W. DAVIS. Dundee, 
Yates Co., N. Y., or to D AXIE1, DAVIS, Rogersville, Steu¬

BUCHANAN ON GRAPE CULTURE, AND L0NG- 
W0RTH ON THE STRAWBERRY- 
Just Published, the Fifth Edition, Revised, one Volume 
12mo. Cloth, 63 cents. 
This volume should be in the hands of every cultivator 
of these delicious fruits, for it embodies, in a compact and 
available form, the experience of accomplished and practi¬ 
cal Horticulturists on subjects which have come directly 
under their own observation for a long series of years. 
Of a former edition of “ Buchanan on the Grape,” we 
subjoin a few 
Notices of the Press. 
Mr. Downing, in his Horticulturist says:—“Itdeals more 
with tacts, with actual experience and observation, and 
less with speculation, supposition and belief, than anything 
on this topic that lias yet appeared in the United States._ 
In other words, a man may take it, and plant a vineyard 
and raise grapes with success.” 
“ Furnishes, in a small space, a very great amount of in¬ 
structive information relative to the culture of the Grape. 
— Farmer’s and Planter's Encyclopedia. 
“ Will be found to convey the most opportune and valu¬ 
able instruction, to all interested in the subject.”_ Neilts 
Fruit and Flower Garden.

PIE PLANT FOR SALE. 
Cahoox’s well known Seedling, superior in quality and 
size to any of the varieties’of Mammoth, Collossal, or Vic¬ 
toria, and continues to produce new leaf stocks until No¬ 
vember, not being affected by the early frosts. This varie¬ 
ty was raised by the subscriber 14 years ago from seed, and 
after being under cultivation that length of time holds 
good in size, having last year produced stocks weighing 
five esMinds and over. 
Testimonials from Agricultural, and Horticultural, and 
other Papers could be produced in abundance to show’that 
this Pie Plant, is all that is represented. I will only insert 
one from a paper published in this city, where the Editor 
has availed himself of opportunities of frequently visiting 
my garden, for the List ten years. It is as follows : 
“ But the most remarkable feature of this garden is the 
Mammoth Pie Plant, and certainly any person who is curi¬ 
ous to know what Pie Plant IS, and how it may be cultiva¬ 
ted and developed, would do well to look at it. We state 
what we witnessed, (and what we should doubt if we had 
not witnessed it,) that from one root was cut a quantity, 
which after being trimmed ready for cooking, weighed 48 
pounds, and certainly as much more was left on the root, 
uncut; making the product of one root nearly, if not quite 
one hundred pounds of plant. And we are not aware that 
this was a very unusual growth, for we saw thousands of 
bunches, which seemed quite as large as the one in ques¬ 
tion ; and all this too, young and tender plant, as delicious 
as any raised.. Of this plant, Mr. Cahoon is raising im¬ 
mense quantities, with which he not only supplies home 
demand, but ships to other places, furnishing one house in 
Chicago with a thousand pounds per week.”— Telegraph. 
I am now growing quantities of it for the California and 
Oregon market. [Dwarfing the roots.] I sent a few roots 
to Oregon last January, and the growth last season aston¬ 
ished the citizens there, notwithstanding they had seen tall 
growths of vegetation at home. 
I will securely pack in boxes, and forward according to 
directions, Ten Roots for $5; Five Roots for $3 ; or One for 
$1; the Cash to be sent with the order. A severe frost 
does not injure the roots, and they can be sent with safety 
to any part of the Union. B. P. CAHOON.

No. I SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME. 
This valuable fertilizer has been used for several years iu 
England and other parts of Europe, and, next to Guano, 
holds the highest rank in popularity, and the extent to 
which it is used among farmers. Its introduction in this 
country lias been more recent; but the progress it has 
made in the estimation of the public has not been less 
marked or successful than abroad. It is now extensively 
used throughout the Northern States, after a full trial and 
investigation of its merits; and it is rapidly becoming, like 
its predecessor, Guano, a favorite manure at the South and 
West. 
It is composed of crushed or ground bones, decomposed 
by the addition of about one-fifth their weight of sulphuric 
acid, diluted with water, to which is added a due propor¬ 
tion of guano and sulphate of ammonia. The latter is the 
active and one of the most efficient agents in the best Pe¬ 
ruvian Guano. 
It is suited to any soil in which there is not already a 
full supply of the phosphates, which is seldom the case_ 
All crops are benefited by its application. 
For sale in large or small quantities, in bags of 150 lbs. 
each. No charge for packages. All bags will be branded
