MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Arrival of the Canada. 
Tfrrc steamer Canada, from Liverpool, arrived 
;rs. 
of 
erpool at 2 o’clock P. M„ Friday (lie 25th ult. 
News from tlie seat of war indicate increased 
vigor on the part of the allies. 20.000 French 
and 8,000 English troops had landed at Gallipoli. 
Sir Charles Napier was at Stockholm on the 
27th of April, and his fleet was about fifty miles 
off. Flic allied fleet in the Black sea were at 
anchor off O.dessa on the 2Gthof April. 
Cn the 2b'ih ult. a sharp combat took place 
before Ivalafat. Twenty squadrons of Russians 
with six guns, were making a reconnoisance of 
the Turkish lines, when the Turks sallied out 
two regiments of regulars and some bayonets 
and cannon, and after a combat of three hours’ 
duration, obliged the Russians to retreat with a 
loss of 5U0 men. Omer Pasha was at Schumla 
concentrating his forces, apparently for defensive 
measures only. 'The Russians were still fortify¬ 
ing themselves on the JDobrudscha. They had 
not crossed the Trajan Wall. Their strength in 
the Dobrudscha is about HO,000 men. The for¬ 
ces before Kaiaiat were withdrawn towards 
Kiajova. 
1 lie British steamer Fury, of six guns, on the 
1 Ith inst., steamed under Austrian colors, with¬ 
in three miles of the entrance of Sebastopol, 
where she saw two merchantmen, two brigs, 
two Irigates, and a steamer leaving the harbor. 
The Fury dashed in and seized one of the mer¬ 
chant -hips and towed her ofF. The Russians 
gave chase, and the Fury was finally obliged to 
cut tiie prize adrift, but not until one of the 
frigates and (he steamer came within range and 
exchanged shots. The Fury, after four hours’ 
chase, succeeded in eluding the Russians and 
carried off the merchant ship’s crew as prison¬ 
ers, who gave some interesting information re¬ 
specting the strength of (Sebastopol. 
A bold and successful feat is also recorded of 
the Russians. A steamship, supposed to be a 
Russian dispatch vessel under British colors, 
boldly steamed from the Archipelago, passed 
(be Dardanelles and batteries and escaped into 
the Black sea. 
From Asia we learn that 4,000 Turkish regu¬ 
lars refused to march from Ergeroum to the 
wars, on account of arrears of pay. 
Accounts from Circassia of April 1st, state 
that the insurrection against Russia is becoming 
more general among all the warlike tribes of the 
Caucusses, where Schmayl’s agents are indefat¬ 
igable. Fhe presence of die English and French 
fleets in the Black sea, with the consequent 
abandonment of the Russian’s posts on the Cir¬ 
cassian coasts, and the cutting of the Russian 
supplies via. Redout Kale, had made a deep im¬ 
pression on the mountaineers, and it was believ¬ 
ed that (Schmay 1 would soon be in force to at¬ 
tack the Ru.-sian headquarters at Titles. 
Arrival of the Atlantic.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Two California, steamers, the George I.aw and the .Star 
of tiie West, arrived at New York on Ihe day of publica¬ 
tion last week; tiie two having on board the aggregate of 
$2,000,000. Tiie Arabia from Boston May 10th took out 
$100,000, and the I’acific from New York May 13th ‘vlOO - 
000 more. ’ ’ 
According to a statement made by the Secretary of tiie 
Treasury, it appears that the whole amount of public stock 
redeemed since the 4th of March, 1853, is $18,873,714— 
Premiums paid on same, $2,657,002. Principal of deb; now 
outstanding, $50,315,872. There was on tiie 1st of January 
twenty-five millions in gold and silver in the Treasury Of¬ 
fices, and more gold and silver in circulation among the 
people than at any previous period in the history of the 
country. J 
From a tabular view of the condition of the banks in the 
United States, published in the Washington Union, that 
paper makes the following summary “The total circu¬ 
lation, according to returns nearest Jan. 1,1854, was $204,- 
000,000, and of deposits $188,000,000, making a total of 
current credits of $392,000,000. 
As the total of circulation on the 1st of Jan. 1837, when 
the inflation of 1835-’37 was near its height, was less than 
$150,000,000, the present amount of paper circulation may 
seem alarming, but it is not so if we make due allowance 
for the d ITerence in the condition of the country at these 
two periods.”

D t a 11 s. 
Hlarkct JitMlijrarc, At. 
The Atlantic arrived at New York, May 15, 
with Liverpool dates to the 3d of May. 
It in authenticated that Odessa was bombard¬ 
ed ten hours by the allied fleets. Part of the 
city was laid in ruins. Four fortresses were 
dismantled, three Russian and Austrian ships 
were burnt in the harbor, and three i-Jugji.-h 
bombarding steamers badly damaged. ^ 
'Fhe attempt of the British to land 1,800 men 
was repulsed. 'Fhe Russian fleet came out of 
Sevastopol and threatened the allied fleets, but 
retired without giving battle. 
I ne details ot the bombardment are not yet 
received. J 
The Russians had completely evacuated Lit¬ 
tle Waiiachia. The right wing of their army 
now rests on Aluta river, and the head quarters 
are at Bucharest. Therefore the interest of the 
campaign is again concentrated and in operation 
below Nicopofis. 
The Turks have come out of Kalafat, and are 
occupying all the towns in the track of the Rus¬ 
sian.-,. The Russians are besieging Silistria, add 
would make the assault about the first of May. 
The allied troops are idle. 
A private telegraph despatch from Odessa by 
an eminent Greek firm in London, dated 2oili 
ult., stated that the whole combined fieet took 
their departure on that day. 
The Austrian correspondence has another ac¬ 
count under dale of Bucharest, April 28th.— 
Tne English and French admirals demanded 
tiie delivery of the Russian vessels at Odessa._ 
On refusal, seven three deckers and eleven 
irigates bombarded the town on tiie 24th. The 
W oiunzoff Palace was totally destroyed, aud 
lour Irigates severely damaged*. 
Fiie Journal of St, Petersburgh of the 23d 
ult., contains a proclamation from the Emperor 
in which he represents the war against England 
and France as one undertaken in" defence of the 
orthodox faith. 
Liveopool Breadstuff Markets.— Brown & 
Shipley say the market is rather lower—Flour 
having given way fid, and corn 2s, at which 
there is a good demand, while wheat maintains 
previous rates. 
White wheat maintains 11s 2d@lls lOd ; red

Late of Good Hope.— Fhe Barque Sprint 
Bok arrived at Boston, May 15th, with Cape of 
Good Hope dates to March 24th. 
The papers are filled with accounts of gold 
discoveries, said to extend over the whole sove¬ 
reignity of Cape Town. Gold was said to be 
more plentiful on the surface than in California 
or Australia. Many parties were leaving for 
the •• diggins.” Agates and other valuable 
stones were also discovered.

Rochester, May 17, 1854. 5 
There is no wheat in the market, and scarcely sufficient 
flour for home consumption. Tiie grain commands the 
nominal price of two dollars and twenty cents, and 
a few small sales have been made at $2,25. Flour is selling 
to the trade at $9,75@10, which is the highest figure yet 
reached this season in our market; and is besides in the 
teeth of foreign advices by the last two steamers, both of 
which state a decline in bread-stuffs abroad. Corn is more 
plenty and lower, quoted at 7Cc. per qushel. Oats have 
gone uji still higher selling at 50c. 
Butter about as last qoted, but cheese has advanced a 
cent. 
Hay is uncommonly scarce and high; best qualities 
bringing this morning twenty dollars a ton. This is the 
highest quotation made lor a whole year. Farmers being 
busy putting in their crops, have cut off the supply.

Only eight days have elapsed since the death of Mrs. B.,

MANNY’S PATENT REAPING AND MOWING 
MACHINE, WITH WOOD’S IMPROVEMENT. 
This machine, as upon trial at Geneva, was found on 
bringing it into use by different bands, and under less fa¬ 
vorable circumstances, not to work well. As now con¬ 
structed, while it retains the good points that all conceded 
it possessed last year, is ent.irelv free from the defects that 
caused it to prove so unsatisfactory to the r armer as a 
Reaper, on account of the difficulty in discharging the 
glam, its want of capacity and strength; and as a Mower 
in its defective culling apparatus, and its liability to clog 
anu break, and its unwieldiness and complicated construc- 
tion. The machine, as improved and now manufactured, 
is w itliout front wheels, has a flat and capacious platform 
tor grain, the speed is increased one-fifth, and three-fourths 
inch added to the length of cut. A smooth edge is used 
for grass, and sickle edge for grain. The guard cap left 
,° o P L. I ,nf hlnd v S0 / W t0 P rev . ent a!1 hogging, and the machine 
is built much stronger, with 200 pounds leRs weight 
Ihe subscriber was early, iu last harvest, convinced of 
the necessity of these alterations, and immediately com- 
| me need and matured them in time for athorough trial both 
| in grain and grass, and now offers them to farmers on tiie 
following warrantee —My combined machine weighs 790 
lbs, and is warranted capable of cutting an acre per hour 
ol any kind of grass, as well as ordinarily done by hand 
by the best mower, and to work well as a Reaper, 'i have 
a machine for mowing alone, which is warranted as above 
and weighs 630 lbs. Either machine will tike one-fourth 
less power to mow than any other mower made.

sub>crioer i?i prepared to 
furni.sh all the alxive nam- 
ed descriptions of Cast and 
Wrought Iron Work, at 
short notice, and in a great 
variety of patterns, and of 
the most modarn slyle._ 
Important improvements have been made in making ami 
putting up this kin.! of Iron Work, whieli materially adds 
to its strength and beauty, and enables him to offer it to 
the public at greatly reduced prices, All of the above 
work is easily taken apart, for repairs or other purposes— 
When desired, as matter of economy, a stone post as a 
substitute, can be set below the action of the fro.-t, 8 to 10 
inches above the surface, to which the fence is fastened 
with an Iron Base, either carved or plain, which is decid¬ 
edly more secure against the action of tiie frost, than a 
stone foundation, and is more ornamental. This, together 
witn the other improvements, reduces the cost’ full one- 
half. 
Verandas.— Tile improvements in these Verandas ren¬ 
der them decidedly stronger, more ornamental, and much 
cheaper than the old method of putting them up. a 
beautiful article can be furnished for less money than the 
cos of one of carved wood. He has a style suited to cot¬ 
tages, which will come very cheap. 
Porticos of a new style, with carved, open-worked 
columns aud cornice—a beautiful article. 
Cemetery Work is especially provided for, as we have 
an elegant set of patterns for Monuments of Cast Iron 
which are covered with a metallic .substance to prevent 
rust. The cost of these will be very much less than marble 
He can also furnish Iron Door Steps, Carved Balusters 
for Stairs, bronzed, and almost any description of architec¬ 
tural aud ornamental work, having one of the best, if not 
the very best, designer and carver in the country, employ¬ 
ed expressly for this branch of the business. 
His method of putting the work together is so simple, 
that, being provided with a plan fora Fence or Veranda! 
the order van be furnished complete with all its parts 
marked and numbered, so that any ordinary mechanic can

ol him, teeling an entire confidence that they will find no 
difficulty in putting it together.

FOREUSK'S MOWING AND REAPING MACHINE. 
Patented July 20, 1852. 
The American Mowing and Reaping Machine Co. have 
purchased the Patent Right for the above Machine for the 
U mted states, England and Canada, and are now manufac¬ 
turing a large number to supply the demands of the com¬ 
ing season I he advantages which this machine possesses 
over all others are obvious, and will readily be acknowl- 
J?, a!1 dl s(»t«reste<l persons. Being a combimd ma¬ 
chine, and working equally well in grain or grass, it enables 
the firmer 0 f mouerate means to procure a valuable Reap¬ 
er and Mower in one, which will ao the work of both, and 
a. less than half the usual cost. As a Mower it has no su- 
perioi , it was thoroughly tested the past season in everv 
variety of grass, and in many different sections of tiie 
country and in every case where it was properly made, it 
gave perfect satisfaction. It w ill cut and spread from 10 to 
un J JV nd °f 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 
strengnh, simplicity and durability. They are easily kept 
in Ol der, and it requires but a few moments to clian-e the 
machine from a Mower to a Reaper, and in either form it 
is equally strong and substantial. It is not liable to net 
out of oi der, and if any accident should happen it cou-d be 
iTraeHnn e, ’f'r? d by “i” 7 ' ordinar . v mechanic. In the con¬ 
struction of the machines no expense has been snared to

KETCHUM’S iXu-itOVED MOWING MACHINE 
With entire change of Gear, the only Successful 
Mower Now Known. • 
Ketchum's Improved Machine, which we are buildiny for 
the harvest of '54, was thoroughly tested last season/anu 
the advantages gained by our change of Gear are in all re¬ 
spects as we designed, viz : durability, convenience and ease 
of action. 1 he shatts now have bearings at both ends, 
- . - ——• Each Machine can 
be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience in o-k- 
ting at each and every nut, all of them being on upper'side 
of the frame; oil cups are attached to all the bearines 
which, by the use of a wad of cotton, will hold oil for a 
! on S.tune, ils we fi as protect the bearings from dust, grit. 
Ac.; the bnger bar is lined with iron its whole width which 
protects it from wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability 
Ac.; makes them the most simple and perfect agricultural 
Implement in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and 
can easily bo earned 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, vvith special approbation, at the World’s 
fair; it also received, during last season, one silver and 
four gold medals, and various other battering and substan¬ 
tial testimonials of approval. We 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. J 
We hike this occasion to caution fanners 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 machine we hare 
sold, or may hereafter sell, they will be"furnished and only 
manufacturere' cost for the same be char-red. 1 
tT if" !n all cases where extras are wanted, be sure to give 
us the number of your Machine. °

to fifteen acres per day ot any kind of grass, and dp it as
