MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Joragit ftttfUigmt. 
Arrival of the Steamship Hermann. 
DECLARATION OF WAR! 
Tiik Hermann arrived at New York, April 
14th, with dates from London to March 29th. 
The political intelligence by the steamer is of 
the highest importance. The Cabinet Courier 
dispatched with the ultimatum of P’ranoc and 
England to the Emperor of Russia, had return¬ 
ed to London, with an official announcement, 
that no reply to the joint demands of the two 
powers would be made. 
In consequence of this, a message from the 
Queen was sent down to both Houses of Parli¬ 
ament on the 27th, announcing the failure of all 
negotiations carried on with Russia, and the con¬ 
sequent necessity of adopting other measures to 
enforce compliance. The message concluded 
with a declaration that the Queen relied upon 
the bravery of her army and navy under the 
emergency. 
The message was to be taken into considera- 
t on on the 31st ult. A reply from both Houses 
of Parliament will be voted in answer to it. In 
the mean time an official declaration of war ap¬ 
pears in the London Gazette of the 28th, and in 
all the papers of the Hermann. 
The British fleet, under Sir Chas. Napier,had 
passed the Great Belt, and anchored off Kill on 
the 27 th March. 
The Tripartite treaty between England, France 
and Turkey, was signed at Constantinople on 
the 12th. Telegraphic dispatches from Vienna 
and Bucharest announce that 18,000 Russians 
crossed the Danube on the 23d of March, and 
occupied Geschid. 35,000 Russians had also 
crossed at Matshin without molestation from the 
Turks, and a considerable force was assembled 
between Geschid and Lrtschin. 
Telegraphic dispatches from Belgrade, state 
that on the 15th of March, General Gortschakoff 
wished to depart from the island opposite Tuka- 
tai. llis troops already occupied the bridge, 
when they were tired upon by the Turks, the 
bridge destroyed, and two thousand Russians 
precipitated into the stream and drowned. The 
Turks suffered no loss. 
The British Cavalry destined for the East was 
to pass through France, and to embark at Mar- 
seilles. 
The Emperor Napoleon’s announcement was 
read in both Chambers with extraordinary en¬ 
thusiasm. All warlike movements in France 
and England were hastening. 
A division of the Russian fleet left Sebastopol 
to provision Russian fortresses on the Circassian 
coast. 
The overland China mail had reached London 
with Calcutta dates, February 19th, and dates 
from Australia to February 4th. Returns from 
the gold fields increasing. New mines discov¬ 
ered. Trade improving, and brisk demand for 
goods. 
Arrival ox the Arctic. 
The steamer Arctic arrived at New York, on 
Hie 17 th instant. 
The Arctic brings four days later news, 121 
passengers, and full freight. 
The news from the lower Danube is interest¬ 
ing. The Russians had seized nearly the whole 
of the Dobrudsha, and about 45,0U0of the Czar’s 
troops occupied the territory between the Tra¬ 
jan wall and the Danube. 
Omar Dacha with a large force was concen¬ 
trating at Silistra. 
Advices from Odessa, to March 25th, mention 
that the entire Russian fleet had left Sebastopol, 
and it was believed, would attack Varna. Sir 
James Graham stated in Parliament on the 3d 
inst., that the allied fleet had left the Bosphorus 
for Varna. 
On April 3d, both Houses of Parliament as¬ 
sembled for the purpose of presenting to the 
Queen an address in reply to her message noti¬ 
fying the state of war with Russia. Two pro¬ 
cessions were formed—one of Lords and the 
other of Commoners, and both proceeded to 
Buckingham Palace to assure the crown of the 
cordial support of all departments of govern¬ 
ment. 
Liverpool Market, April 3.—Since Friday, 
the upward tendency of prices in all the leading 
articles of the breadstuff trade has continued, 
partly owing to the advance established here 
and in London before being so fully responded 
to throughout the United Kingdom. 
Wheat and flour may be written fully 2d@3d 
per 70 lbs. and ls@ls. fid. per bbl. dearer since 
our last report. 
Indian corn, on the contrary, with a liberal 
supply and limited demand, is fully Is. per 
quarter cheaper. 
Important Declaration. 
The Queen of England has caused a declara¬ 
tion to be published, which Is of special interest 
to neutrals. It runs as follows : 
Her Majesty, the Queen of the United King¬ 
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, having been 
compelled to take up arms in support of an ally, 
is desirous of rendering the war as little onerous 
as possible, to the Dowers with whom she re¬ 
mains at peace. 
To preserve the commerce of neutrals from all 
unnecessary obstruction, Her Majesty is willing, 
for the present, to waive a part of the belliger¬ 
ent rights appertaining to her by the law of 
nations. 
It is impossible for Her Majesty to forego the 
exercise of her right of seizing articles contra¬ 
band of war, and of preventing neutrals from 
bearing the enemy’s dispatches, and she must 
maintain the right of a belligerent to prevent 
neutrals from breaking any effective blockade 
which may be established with an adequate 
force against the enemy’s forts, harbors or coasts. 
But Her Majesty will waive the right of seiz¬ 
ing the enemy’s proper ty laden on board a neu¬ 
tral vessel, unless it be contraband of war. 
It is not Her Majesty’s intention to claim the 
confiscation of neutral property, not being con¬ 
traband of war, found on board an enemy’s ships, 
and Her Majesty further declares that, being 
anxious to lessen as much as possible the evils 
ot war, and to restrict its operations to the regu¬ 
larly organized forces of the country, it is not 
her present intention to issue letters of marque 
for the commissioning of privateers. 
Louis Napoleon has also issued a proclama¬ 
tion, which, on being translated into English, 
proves to bo identical with that of the British 
government This shows that it was pre-ar¬ 
ranged and agreed upon by the allies ; and there 
can he no doubt a special object was to secure 
the neutrality and good will of the L r . States. 
Important Decision—Very. 
The Charleston (8. C.) Standard, under the 
above caption (minus tbe “ very ”) says :—“In 
the trial of a question before the Court of Com¬ 
mon Dleas, March 28, in reference to the status 
of an individual, his honor Judge Waudlaw held 
the doctrine that the grandchild of a negro could 
not be entitled to the rights and privileges of a 
citizen of South Carolina ; that beyond this de¬ 
gree the status became a question of fact, and 
that if the individual shall have acquired the 
character of a citizen in the community, it will 
be accorded to him by the court.” 
Baraphrasing the learned judge’s language, it 
is this :—A man is a nigger until he reaches the 
quadroon mile-post; after that, if people call 
him a white man, he is a white man, but if they 
call him a nigger, he is a nigger still. 
Daring and Successful Escape. —Two State 
prison convicts, named Hoffman and Thornton, 
on their way from Troy to their permanent 
home in the Auburn prison last week, when a 
short distance from Syracuse, leaped from the 
cars, which were running at the rate of thirty 
miles an hour, and escaped. They were chain¬ 
ed together and hand-cuffed at the time, and 
obtained leave of their keeper to step out on the 
platform, on the pretence that one of them was 
sick. When they struck the ground they were 
hurled down and rolled along with terrible force; 
hut strange to say, they were so little injured, 
that when the motion of the train was arrested 
and run back they could no where be found. 
Camels on the American Deserts. —Much 
has been said, first and last, within a few years, 
upon the practicability of introducing the camel 
upon the plains lying between the Mississippi 
and the Dacific, which are traversed annually 
by great caravans of emigrants. A bill has been 
introduced in the Legislature to incorporate a 
company to test this matter. “Sentinel,” of 
the Courier and Enquirer, says. “ Mr. King, son 
of Charles King, Mr. Webb, the distinguished 
author and naturalist, and Mr. Garangray, are 
named as corporators in the bill to incorporate 
the American Camel Company—the object of 
the incorporation being to introduce into this 
country, to be used between the Atlantic and 
Pacific, this most useful beast; to give the tinkle 
of the camel bells to the solitudes of the deserts 
and the plains. The tune to which they would 
march, every Scotchman will at once recognize.” 
The Generals qf the British Army.—A wri¬ 
ter in a late number of the London Times gives 
some interesting facts respecting the age of the 
senior officers of the British army. He says that 
nine-tenths of the Major Generals are upwards 
of 60 years. Of the 259 full colonels, 156 are 
upwards of 60 years of age, a period of life at 
which an officer in the French army, unless es¬ 
pecially exempted, is placed on the retired list; 
and the remaining 103 full colonels are between 
the ages of 44 and 60. The writer states that 
the Duke ot Wellington and Napoleon were 45 
years of age when t.hev finished their military 
career in the field at Waterloo. The youngest 
major general in the British army at present— 
royalty excepted—is long past that age, and 
there are only two full colonels who have not at¬ 
tained it. 
Russian Soldiery.— According to the Soldatcn 
Freund, 42,000 Russians are encamped around 
Kalafat; 75,000 men are in Great Wallachia un¬ 
der the personal command of Prince Gorchakoff, 
whose head-quarters are in Buachrest; between 
the Seretli and the Pruth stands Gen. Luders, 
with 45,000 men; between the Pruth and the 
Dniester, Gen. Osten-Sacken, whose corps, as 
soon as Gen. TsheodaefPs division arrives, will 
amount to 60,000 men. A reserve of 30,000 men 
is organized in Volhynia, by Gen. Shinelinkoff ; 
45,000 more are on their march to Odessa and 
Crimea ; while the army of the Caucasus, under 
Prince Woronzoff, is put down as 182,000 men 
strong. By this statement, the European army 
in array against Turkey and her allies, amounts 
to nearly 500,000 men, and above 500 cannons. 
The Salt Springs of Onondaga. —The annu¬ 
al report of the Superintendent of the Ononda¬ 
ga Salt Springs has been presented to the As¬ 
sembly. The entire quantity of salt manufac¬ 
tured on the salt reservations during the twelve 
months was 4,404,524 bushels. The revenue re¬ 
ceived by the Superintendent during the year, 
for duties, rents, fines and sales of salt logs, was 
$54,084,4 ', which was duly deposited in the 
Salt Spring Bank, to the credit of the State 
Treasurer. The market for salt opened at nine 
shillings per bbl., and with the exceptions of a 
temporary advance in November, remained uni¬ 
form. The business yielded a fair equivalent 
for the capital invested. 
Counterfeit Gold Dollars. —The Buffalo Re¬ 
public mentions the appearance in that city of 
counterfeit gold dollars, which proves that the 
bogus mint is in operation, and its issues are cir¬ 
culating. The metal of which it is made is cop¬ 
per. A very thin covering of gold, which con¬ 
ceals the baser metal, was probably put on by 
galvanism. The gold had been removed from 
the edge of this specimen, and the copper stood 
confessed. The thickness of it is the same as 
the genuine, but it is a very little too large in 
diameter to go into the test mould which they 
have in the Post Office. The gold covering, al¬ 
though thin, is sufficient to resist the action of 
nitric acid, without scratching. 
The Widow of Alexander Hamilton —Has 
reached the great age ol ninety-five, and retains 
in an astonishing degree her faculties, and con¬ 
verses with much of that case and brilliancy 
which lent so peculiar a charm to her younger 
days. Aud then the old lady, after passing the 
compliments and congratulations of the day, in¬ 
sists upon her visitors taking a merry glass from 
Gen. Washington’s punch-bowl, which, vih 
other portions of his table-set, remain in her 
possession. 
The lawyers of Covington, Ohio, have 
agreed upon ascale of prices, as follows :—Coun¬ 
sel, $5 ; divorce, $50; ejectment, $100. Sup¬ 
pose the premises recovered are not worth the 
tee ; the wife and husband both a hard bargain 
at the cost of divorce ; and the Counsel given 
not worth a cent ; what then ’? 
C o nt m rrt i a l. 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
A large portion of the gold brought in by the Geo. Law 
and the Northern Light was immediately resliipped for 
Liverpool, or at least its equivalent in the precious metals. 
The Canada, April 12th, carried out $371,000, and the At¬ 
lantic, on Saturday, $730,000 more. 
Two arrivals from Sydney and Melbourne are reported 
at London with $1,500,000 gold, and three others have left 
I’ort Philip with an aggregate amount of 120,000 ounces of 
gold, equal to about $2,400,000. 
The Journal of Commerce publishes a table of imports 
at New York for three months of the present year. It 
shows an aggregate value of $18,716,941. 
The uncertain condition of the money market by reason 
of the impending war, is having a depressing influence on 
stocks. New York Central lias gone down to 104fa, which 
is lower than it has been since the consolidation. Most 
other railroad stocks and bonds sympathize with this lead¬ 
ing solid, and are proportionately depressed, even in tire 
face of a large increase of spring business. 
Banking in the United States for several years past, has 
been eminently profitable. The Commercial Bank of this 
city, it is stated, will, in addition to their regular dividend 
divide fifty per cent, among the stockholders on the 1st of 
July next. For four years past this Bank has divided 
regularly, twenty per cent, per annum. But its profits have 
accumulated to such an extent, notwithstanding that there 
will be a surplus of fifty per cent, by July. It is difficult 
to see how any bank, doiDg legitimate business, can make 
money at such usurious rates, but seeing is believing.

Rural New-Yorker Office, 1 
Rochester, April 19, 1854. J 
Wheat and Flour under the stimulating influence of 
foreign advices, have gone up during the week, the former 
now selling at full $2 per bushel, and the latter at $9,25 a 
barrel. The decisive news on the war question, coupled 
with the declarations that the rights of neutrals will be 
respected by the belligerents, gives assurance of an immense 
trade in American produce. 
Oats are scarce and higher, being quoted at 45c. 
Butter and cheese both scarce and higher in the market; 
quoted, the former at 12@16c, aud the latter at ll@12c. 
Wood has also been difficult to obtain, the best quality 
selling readily at $5 a cord. 
An extra note may also be put into the scale on hay,— 
prime lots selling to the tune of $15 per ton.

LANGSTROTH ’ S MOVABLE COMB BEE-HIVE. 
Patented Oct. 5th, 1852. 
Each Comb in this Hive is attached to a separate mova¬ 
ble frame, and in less than five minutes they may be all ta¬ 
ken out without cutting or injuring them, or at all enrag¬ 
ing the bees. Weak stocks may be quickly strengthened by 
helping them to honey and maturing brood from stronger 
ones. 
Queenless colonies may be rescued from certain ruin by 
supplying them with the means of obtaining another queen; 
and the ravages of the moth effectually prevented, as at 
any time the hive may be readily examined and all the 
worms, &c., removed from the combs. New colonies may 
be formed in less time than is usually required to hive a 
natural swarm, or the hive may be used as a non-swarmer, 
or managed on the common swarming plan. 
The surplus houey may be taken from the interior of the 
hive on the frames or in upper boxes or glasses in the most 
convenient, beautiful and saleable forms. Colonies may be 
safely transferred from any other hive to this, at any sea¬ 
son of the year, from April to October, as the brood, combs, 
honey and all the contents of the hive are transferred with 
them, securely fastened in the frames. 
We are now prepared to sell state, town, county and in¬ 
dividual rights, to make, vend and use these hives, on rea¬ 
sonable terms. The price for individual rights, which will 
entitle the purchaser to make the hives for his own use, is 
five dollars. We can also furnish hives to all who wish.— 
Price from two to five dollars. Upon the receipt of nine 
dollars we will send the right, together with a beautiful 
hive, with glass on four sides, showingall the combs. For 
seven dollars the right and a well made hive without glass, 
which any one can make who can use the simplest tools. 
Agents wanted for the sale of the above rights. 
All communications addressed to J. Beals, Greenfield, 
Mass., will meet with prompt attention. 
For one dollar, postage paid, Langstroth’s book entitled 
the Hive and Honey Bee, will be sent free by mail.

time to time issuing from the American Press, a large 
proportion must be sold by 
Book Agents, Colporteurs and Canvassers, 
or not at all.

FORBUSH’S MOWING AND REAPING MACHINE. 
^ Patented July 20, 1852. 
The American*Mo wing and Reaping Machine Co. have 
purchased the Patent Right for the above Machine for the 
United States, England and Canada, and are now manufac¬ 
turing a large number to supply the demands of the com¬ 
ing season. The advantages which this machine possesses 
over all others are obvious, and will readily be acknowl¬ 
edged by all disinterested persons. Being a combined ma¬ 
chine, and working equally well in grain or grass, it enables 
the farmer of mouerate means to procuie a valuable Reap¬ 
er and Mower in one, which will Uo the work of both, and 
at less than half the usual cost. As a Mower it has no su¬ 
perior; it was thoroughly tested the past season in every 
variety of grass, and in many different sections of the 
country, and in every case where it was properly made, it 
gave perfect satisfaction. It will cut and spread from 10 to 
15 acres of any kind of grass per day. As a Reaper it has 
never been excelled, and has no rival that can in all respects 
successfully compete with it. The patent for this machine 
covers many points of excellence which have heretofore 
been unknown, and which (of course) can be used in no 
other. In the construction and arrangement of these ma¬ 
chines great pains have been taken to ensure the necessary 
strength, simplicity and durability. They are easily kept 
in order, and it requires but a few moments to change the 
machine from a Mower to a Reaper, and in either form it 
is equally strong and substantial. It is not liable to get 
out of order, and if any accident should happen it cou.d be 
readily repaired by any ordinary mechanic. In the con¬ 
struction of the machines no expense has been spared to 
render them both perfect and durable. The Mower weighs 
but 731 lbs.—the Mower and Reaper combined 900 lbs. To 
any person desirous of purchasing, or of understanding 
the machine more fully, illustrated circulars will be sent 
with full descriptions, references, kc., kc.

KETCHUM'S IMPROVED MOWING MACHINeT 
AVith entire change of Gear, the only Successful 
Mower Now Known. 
Ketchum's Improved Machine, which we are building for 
the harvest of '64, was thoroughly tested last season, and 
the advantages gained by our change of Gear are in all re¬ 
spects as we designed, viz : durability, convenience and ease 
of action. The shafts now have bearings at both ends, 
which overcomes all cramping and cutting away of boxing. 
A counter balance is attached to the crank shaft, which 
gives it a steady and uniform motion. Each Machine can 
be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience in get¬ 
ting at each and every nut, all of them being on upper side 
of tke frame; oil cups are attached to all the bearings, 
which, by the use of a wad of cotton, will hold oil for a 
long time, as well as protect the bearings from dust, grit, 
&c.; the finger bar is lined with iron its whole width, which 
protects it from wear. 
These aud various other additions for strength, durability', 
kc.; makes them the most simple and perfect agricultural 
Implement in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and 
can easily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
It requires not over ten minutes to get one ready for op¬ 
eration, there being but two bolts, (besides the pole bolts,) 
to be secured to have one ready for use. They will cut all 
kinds of grass, and operate well on uneven or rolling lands, 
or where there are dead furrows. This Machine took the 
highest award, with special approbation, at the AYorld’s 
Fair; it also received, during last season, one silver and 
four gold medals, and various other flattering and substan¬ 
tial testimonials of approval. A\ r e have spared neither 
pains nor money to make this machine deserving of public 
favor, and hope to be able the coming season to supply the 
great and increasing demand. 
AYe take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers; if they do (as was the case with many last 
year) they will incur loss, vexation and disappointment. 
If any parts are wanted to repair any macltine we have 
sold, or may hereafter sell, they will be furnished and only 
ma nufa cturers’ cost for the same be charged. 
£3 P> Id all cases where extras are wanted, be sure to give 
us the number of your Machine. 
(Warranty:) That said machines are capable of cutting 
and spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten 
to fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as 
! well as is done with a scythe by the best of mowers. 
The price of the Mower, with two sets of knives and ex¬ 
tras. is $110 cash, in Buffalo, delivered on board of boat or 
cars free of charge.
