MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
Sandwich Island Notes. ByaHAOLE. New York: Har¬ 
per & Bros.—1854. 
The proposed annexation of the Sandwich 
Islands to the United States-, makes this volume 
particularly opportune, and tire reader will here 
find much interesting information in regard to 
their present condition and resources, and also 
their past history. The writer resided in the 
Islands the past year, and seems to have taken 
much pains to obtain reliable information of the 
true state of affairs, and presents it in a very in¬ 
dependent tone, though his style of writing is 
not always to be commended. Sold by E. Dar- 
kow it Buo., Rochester.

Arrival of the Steamship Africa, 
The Africa, with three days’ later news, ar¬ 
rived at New York July 27. 
A new defeat of the Russians on the banks 
of the Danube, and the confirmation of the 
news of a severe check to the Turkish army in 
Asia, have been the principal events of the war 
since the departure of the last packet. 
The new success of the Turks on the Danube 
has consisted, according to report, in the taking 
of Giurgevo. This fortified place, which is sit¬ 
uated on the Wallachian side of the river, near¬ 
ly opposite Rustchuk, has been an object of se¬ 
vere contest throughout the entire campaign, 
the Turks having constantly assailed the Rus¬ 
sians in the neighboring Island of Mokan with 
the view of obtaining a permanent point whence 
they could direct their attacks. TJiese assaults 
were attained with varied success, but although 
the Turks incessantly worried their opponents, 
and inflicted great losses upon them, they tvere 
never able to overcome them sufficiently to dis¬ 
lodge the garrison of Giurgevo. According to 
the statements now circulated, however, Omar 
Pasha, on the 7th July, crossed the river with 
40,000 men, took the Island ot Mokan, sur¬ 
rounded and captured Giurgevo, and inflicted a 
loss in killed and wounded of 000 men Upon 
the Russians, who were able to escape only by 
cutting their way through at all hazards—an 
operation which involved, among other casual¬ 
ties, the death of many officers, and the loss of 
an arm by the commander, General Churleff. 
The news of this fresh disaster having reach¬ 
ed Prince Gortsachoff, he was said to be ad¬ 
vancing from Bucharest, by forced marches, 
with 30,000 men, to protect his defeated com¬ 
rades. 
The desire for the commencement of a com¬ 
bined atlack by land and sea on Sebastopol, for 
the purpose of wresting the Crimea from Russia, 
and thus accomplishing the object which, more 
than any other, is looked upon as essential to 
any future arrangement for peace, is still up¬ 
permost in all minds. But the commencement 
of that plan seems to have been temporarily in¬ 
terfered with, not only by a change in the tac¬ 
tics of Russia, but also by the non-fulfilment 
on the part of Austria of her avowed intention 
to occupy Wallaehia. 
There is nothing new from the Baltic. French 
troops to the number of 40,000, are about to be 
sent thither, with the view, it is believed, of 
supporting Sweden, which government is dis¬ 
posed to declare for the allied powers. 
In relation to the Spanish insurrection, the 
last news from Madrid states that General O’- 
Donnel and his insurgent troops were retreating 
toward Andalusia, that he had been joined by 
General Serrano, one of the former favorites of 
the Queen, and that risings in his favor had oc¬ 
curred at two places in the province of Valen¬ 
cia. On the other hand, the Government ac¬ 
counts describe his retreat as being rendered 
fatal by numerous desertions, while they also 
affirm, with regard to the defection of General 
Serrano, that that officer had been unable to 
carry over any men with him. On the whole, 
there can be little doubt that the rebels have 
not met with the support they anticipated ; but 
whether their cause is yet wliollv lost, is a ques¬ 
tion not at present to be decided. 
Arrival of the Steamship Andes, 
The British steamship Andes, with four days’ 
later news from Europe, arrived at Boston July 
31st. 
Flour has declined (kl@ls. Wheat also lower. 
She left Liverpool on the 18th, and has pa¬ 
pers to that date. Also London and Paris ad¬ 
vices to the 18th. On the day of her departure 
from Liverpool, she reports speaking, off Great 
Orm’s Head, the U. S. mail steamer Atlantic, 
from New York the 8th, bound in. She would 
make the passage in 11 days. 
Liverpool Markets. — Boston, July 31.—

cline in wheat and flour is reported. The for¬ 
mer is quoted by the papers at 6d per 60 lbs. 
lower, and the latter 2s@3s lower. 
Trade at Manchester was somewhat depress¬ 
ed, and both goods and yarns were being offer¬ 
ed at a reduction from previous rates. 
The War.— A despatch by telegraph in the 
2d edition of the London Times, states that the 
Russian troops were returning from Moldavia 
to W allachia. The Russian troops returned to 
Lesser Wallaehia, says a dispatch from Widdin, 
and on the 12th crossed the Danube at sevefal 
different points, and occupied the principal 
places in order to prevent the Turkish troops 
from crossing at Alata. 
Advices from St. Petersburg of the 8th inst., 
announce that 300 young nobles had been ar¬ 
rested on the charge of expressing- sentiments

tion that in consequence of a dispute having 
arisen between the Emperor Nicholas and the 
heir to the crown, the latter will not join the 
army. 
The allies are in full march for the Danube. 
A body ot French troops have arrived at Ruts- 
clmk, and a force of English troops at Emblar. 
England.— In the House of Commons on the 
16th, Lord John Russell gave notice that he 
should move in the course of the ensuing week 
a vote of credit for the purpose of carrying on 
the war. 
France.— The intelligence from France is 
not important. There was quite a fluctuation in 
the Bourse on the 18th, and the rentees declin¬ 
ed nearly one price. The share market was 
also depressed. 
Spain. — 1 he insurrection was proving to be 
spreading throughout the entire country, not¬ 
withstanding the strenuous efforts of the gov¬ 
ernment to put it. down. The regiments of Na¬ 
varre and Gaudalacarra had taken the initiative 
amid loud acclamations from the populace. 
I he latest advices are dated Paris 18th, and 
report that Barcelona has pronounced against 
the government.

Arrival of the Prometheus. 
The steamship Prometheus, Captain Turner, 
irom Punta Arenas, with 383 passengers, and 
$806,853 in specie on freight, arrived at New 
York on the 25th. 
The Prometheus arrived outward on the 
morning of the 1.5th, at 8 o’clock, having touch¬ 
ed at Kingston for coal. Found in the harbor 
the United States ship-of-war Cyane, command¬ 
ed by Captain Hollins, which had arrived at 
San Juan del Norte on the 11th inst., in 21 days 
from New York, commissioned to settle certain 
difficulties between American citizens and the 
local authorities. Also, to demand a full and 
satisfactory apology for an insult given, a short 
time since, to Hon. Solon Borland, our Minister 
to Central America. 
The authorities and residents of the town re¬ 
fused to make the slightest apology. After 
giving ample time, and no reply having been 
received. Captain Hollins, on the 12th inst., is¬ 
sued a proclamation to the authorities and resi¬ 
dents, that, unless an apology was made by 9 
A. M. on the 13th, he should, without further 
notice, proceed to bombard tlie town. No apol¬ 
ogy came ! He, in the meantime, took posses¬ 
sion of the Transit Company’s steamers, and 
sent them to the town, oifering protection to all 
persons who chose to accept. And, within one 
minute of the time designated by Capt. H„ the 
cannonading commenced, and continued, with 
short intervals, to 3 P.M. During the intervals, 
no disposition was manifested on the part of the 
inhabitants to come to terms for the saving of 
the property. At 4 P. M„ a party landed, com¬ 
manded by a Lieutenant, and burned the town. 
The Rappahannock Virginian states that a 
gentleman near that place informs the editor of 
a strange circumstance which took place at his 
house a few days since. Having occasion to 
trim some peach trees, he left the" branches ly¬ 
ing in the yard. A number of young ducks 
partook ot the leaves, which caused instant 
death. The leaves and kernels of peaches con¬ 
tain prussic acid in sufficient quantity to endan¬ 
ger the life of persons or animals partaking of 
them. 
Canada Elections.— The Montreal Gazette of 
Wednesday week, has returns of the election of 
ten Ministerial and twenty-.three Opposition 
members of Parliament. The Ministry about 
divides the Lower Canada members, but in the 
Upper Province the Opposition seems to have 
a decided advantage.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
TnE'whole amount of incoming specie and bullion du¬ 
ring the week has been $1,980,000 and the export during 
the same time has been $985,OOd. 
The import of merchandise for the week was about four 
and a half millions. 
The New York sub-treasury which was nearly depleted 
by the payment of the Mexican appropriation, is slowly 
recovering, and now contains near live millions. 
There has been another burst up among the railroad 
men. Mr. Tucker, president of that huge corporation 
the Reading (I’a.) railroad has failed, it is stated, for the 
modest sum of a million and a half. Much to his credit 
be it spoken, however, that the trusts committed to his 
hands are not involved in the shape of over issues, &c., 
and he comes out of the ordeal, in this respect, without 
the smell of fire upon his garments. The failure, however, 
afifects railroad securities still more, bad as they were con¬ 
sidered before. 
The money market would be easy enough if confidence 
in the stability of speculative business was once restored, 
which is not likely to be soon under present inauspicious 
developments. 
The Commercial, and the Farmers and Mechanics bank 
of this city, have ench declared a semi-annual dividend 
of five per cent, payable early this month.

The foreign news by the Andes, at Boston, July 31st, 
quotes breadstuff's at a decline. It does not however affect 
our market, and new Genesee wheat commands readily .$2 
in the street. Very little is offered as yet, the farmers be¬ 
ing too busy, and confident of fair prices hereafter, to 
break off their work for the purpose of throwing their 
wheat into market. 
Most other articles of farm produce remain unchanged 
Wool does not come in to any amount and prices con¬ 
tinue low. It believed that not a pound has been sold 
here this week. On Monday a couple of loads were in the 
street for which the buyers offered 30 cts; but the sellers 
ndt being pressed for cash, took the wool home again to 
await more propitious times.

THOMAS’ NEW FARM BOOK. 
Farm Implements, and theEprincipies of their consruc- 
tion and use, with 200 illustrations. By J. J. Thomas- 
The following are only a few out of the many commen¬ 
datory notices which this work has already received from 
the press: 
We wish to see this work placed in the hands of every 
farmer and farmer’s son, as an indispensable book; and 
school commissioners should see that it has a place on the 
shelves of every rural district school library. It is admir¬ 
ably adapted for popular use as a text book. The illustra¬ 
tions are ample and excellent ^ and every statement is 
made in such a straightforward manner that even a child 
could not mistake the meaning. Mr. Thomas has done the 
agricultural community a great service in the preparation 
of this book.— Horticulturist. 
This is an invaluable work for the practical agriculturist, 
affording as it does the theory of mechanical forces as ap¬ 
plied in machinery used in farm labor ; it will enable far¬ 
mers to construct many indispensable articles, and to un- 
oerstand the principles and construction of all agricultu¬ 
ral machines.”— Boston Herald. 
We have never seen so much philosophy brought to 
bear in a practical manner on the ordinary concerns of 
life.— Presbyterian Banner. 
Just the book for fanners who wish to perform their 
labor intelligently and efficiently.— Zion's Herald. 
This is an interesting and invaluable work for the farmer, 
and should be in th£ hands of every farmer in the country. 
Ohio Farmer. 
We should be glad to see the book in every one of our 
schools and popular libraries.— N. Y. Agriculturist.

KEDZIE’S RAIN WATER FILTERS. 
manufactured by 
J. E. Cheney & Co., Rochester, N. Y. 
The use of water impregnated with lime and other min¬ 
eral substances, in the opinion of all medical men, is one 
of the chief exciting causes of many diseases incident to 
the varied climate of this country. 
These Filters have been fully tested, for many years, by 
hundreds of families in this city and in various parts of 
the country, aud have in all cases given the highest satis¬ 
faction. 
Rain water, of whatever color, taste, or smell, by this 
means becomes as clear as crystal. 23G-lamtf 
DRILLING IN WHEAL 
Moore’s Seed Planter, or Grain Drill. 
Patented July 2, 1850.—This valuable implement of 
husbandry, which has been thoroughly tested in many 
places, is used for planting Wheat, Rye, Corn, Oats, 
Barley, Beans, &c. It operates equally well on all kinds 
of land, and is not injured by coming in contact with 
rocks, roots, &c.; and it is believed, is superior to any other 
implement of the kind in use, as may be seen by the testi¬ 
monials of many of the best fu-mers in the State. There 
are several advantages in drilling over broad-cast sowing, 
among which are these It is most expeditious; it saves 
labor, which is money; it completes the process of seeding 
wherever it moves; aud experience hits proved that more 
grain is obtained, of a heavier berry, and with less seed, 
owing to its ueing covered at any required depth, where 
every kernel has moisture and a chance to germinate. 
Drilling Wheat.—E dward Stabler, in his admirable es¬ 
say on the advantage of drill seeding, states that alter ex- ! 
aminiug its results on some 800 or 1,000 acres, besides lan>e 
experience on his own land, he finds there is not a single 
instance where it has not proved the most profitable?-— 
First, iu the saving of seed, and secondly in the increased 
product of the grain, amounting to from one to seven 
bushels to the acre. He had known the increase, in one 
ease, by careful comparison of the two modes, to amount 
to nine bushels per acre in favor of drilling. He relates an 
interesting incident:—A vender offered a drill for the in¬ 
crease in a crop of 50 acres of wheat, to be determined by 
sowing a few strips broad-cast for comparison; but before 
the harvest, the farmer preferred paying the hundred dol¬ 
lars for the price of a drill, with interest. On carefully 
ascertaining the inerea-e, he found it to be one hundred 
and fifty-three bushels.— Albany Cultivator. 
Extract from the N. Y. Tribune, Feb. 3,1853, article on In¬ 
dustrial Exhibitions at the World’s Fail-, London : 
“Those who understand the subject, know that at least 
one-third of the seed may be saved, and a tenth added to 
the crop by drilling, as contrasted with the old, slovenly 
process of sowing by hand. The annual saving bv the 
general adoption of drilling in this country, would be equal 
in value to all the gold we receive from California.” 
The highest premiums have been awarded to this Drill at 
the Agricultural Fairs in Delaware, at Philadelphia, Balti¬ 
more, Detroit, in Maryland, and at various County Fairs in 
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, and other States. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
To E. W. Hudnut & Co.:—The Grain Drill which we sev- j 
erally purchased of you iu 1852, works to our entire satis¬ 
faction. Its simplicity, and certainty of distribution, to¬ 
gether with its cheapness, commend it in preference to any 
Drill with which we are acquainted. Samuel Lewis, Esq. 
York, Liv. Co., N. Y.; Wm. W. Fletcher, Jr., Chas. Hazel- 
ton, Elijah Armstrong, Geo. W. Uhl, Learning Clark, Gen- 
eseo; Chas. Hendershott, Andrew Boyd, Rich’d Johnson, 
Grovelaud. 
Extract of a letter from Mr. McCrone, near Newcastle, 
Delaware:—“ Your Drill stands unrivalled, as is admitted 
by all Farmers in the neighborhood, that have seen it in 
operation.” 
“This is to certify, that we, the undersigned, have used 
Lewis Moore’s Improved Grain Drill, and we believe that 
for simplicity, durability, cheapness, ease, speed and regu¬ 
larity of sowing, it surpasses anything of the kind hereto¬ 
fore in use among us, aud we do recommend it to farmers 
as being a machine the best adapted to their wants.”— 
Signed, Wm. Linville, Lancaster Co., Penn., and thirteen 
other farmers. 
Orders will be received for these machines by the sub¬ 
scribers, who have purchased the right to make aud sell 
them in the Counties of Mouroe, Ontario, Wyoming, and

STARR'S PREMIUM PIANO FORTES. 
Every person in this vi¬ 
cinity, desirous to pur¬ 
chase a Piano Forte, will 
be more than paid, by vis¬ 
iting my rooms, where he 
can buy directly from the 
manufacturer, save the 
commissions ot an agent, and select from the largest as¬ 
sortment in Western New York, as I have constantly on 
hand from 15 to 30 finished instruments, and from 50 to 
100 others in process of construction, of various sizes, pat¬ 
terns, and prices, from $230 to $700 each. They embrace 
such a combination of excellencies, in their beauty, finish, 
strength, (to keep iu tune,) exquisite touch—soft, deep! 
rich, full and melodious tones—as induces the belief, so 
often expressed by those who have bought, or used them, j 
that “ they surpass all others iu the market.” Their su- 
periority was acknowledged when one of the most intelli- ! 
gent musical committees which ever acted on a similar j 
occasion, awarded us the three highest premiums, when in j 
competition with Chickering, Gilbert, Bacon & Ravens, ! 
Wm. Hnll & Sons, at the New York State Fair for 1S51.— 
And the number since sold, with their daily increasing 1 
celebrity, fully justifies the report of that committee. They j 
are manufactured of the best materials, in the most per- j 
feet manner, with metallic plates upon the Iso Chordai j 
scale, with the Iso Bason Damper, and French Grand Ac- j 
tion, expressly for retailing —(numerous applications at j 
wholesale, being constantly refused,) and can only be had j 
at tuy rooms, where the instruments will be shown, and j 
all orders promptly attended to. As it is fully settled that 
a good Piano is cheap at almost a any price, and a poor one j 
only a nuisance; and as I rely alone upon their merits to ! 
secure them favor with the public, I invite for them, the 
most careful examination and scrutiny, by all who wish to I 
buy at my manufactory and .show rooms, Nos. 45, 47, 49 & | 
51 Orphean Buildings, Majn st., 2d Floor. Every instru- j 
ment will have upon it the name of the subscriber, and be !
