MOORE’S RURAL NEW-YORKER: AN AGRICULTURAL AND FAMILY NEWSPAPER, 
BUSINESS AND FINANCE. 
Arrival of the Northern Light. 
Lifk’s Lesson. A Tale. New York: Harper & Broth¬ 
ers. 1854. 
A story of American country-life very well 
written, but given to the world without author’s 
name or preface. It is a very good specimen 
of a class of works figuring pretty largely in 
our literature of late years, and will interest 
those who have time and taste for such reading. 
E. Darrow <fe Bro. have it for sale. 
The Northern Light, from San Juan, brought in daring 
the week $960,491, and the Arabia took out $972,000, and 
the Herman $218,000 more. The New York banks have 
been losing specie lately, and have reduced tbeir discounts 
ius a consequence, which causes some complaint of striug- 
cy in Wall street. 
The amount of funds in the various Sub-Treasuries, sub¬ 
ject to the draft of the Secretary of the Treasury, is $24,- 
848,704. 
The Tribune, says the aggregate imports for the week 
amount to $1,905,230, which is twelve hundred thousand 
dollars less ihan for the same time last year. Total im¬ 
ports from Jan. 1st $151,133,430, which is four and a quarter 
millions less than in 1853. 
The exports for the week (exclusive of specie) amount 
to il,212,533 against $1,391,622 same time last year. 
The total exports since July 1, (exclusive of specie) were 
$14,390,910. The exports of produce during that period,

A New School Book, entitled First Lessons in Chem¬ 
istry and Geology, as Applied to Agriculture. 
By J. EMERSON KENT, A. M., M. D. 
A new school book—the first American work ever issued 
as the lirst book, or “ First Lessons in Chemistry and Ge¬ 
ology, as applied to Agriculture,” designed as the first step 
for tbe young, to be used in all our common schools, is 
now submitted to the educational public. Some indeed 
protest against the introduction of all modern improve¬ 
ments in making the earth productive; still the great ag¬ 
ricultural interests of our nation depend upon a rising gen¬ 
eration of practical farmers, who will till the soil as much 
by a comprehensive knowledge of the laws of chemistry, 
as by the sweat of the brow. 
The subject of agricultural chemistry cannot but soon 
commend itself to the world as Uie most important of all 
studies, and, in fact, the wealth of thus countiy would be 
doubled within one year were all that saved which is now 
lost by stupi i, bungling agriculture. A volume of recom¬ 
mendations could be given to the public, but it is not 
necessary. 
School Committees and Teachers will be furnished with 
a copy, gratis, for examination, by mail, post paid, on ap¬ 
plication to tbe undersigned. Brice, 26 cents.

The steamer Canada, from Liverjiool, arrived 
at New Y'ork Oct, 6th, with dates to the 23d 
ult. 
The Arctic sailed on the 20th. The Petrel 
steamer put back to the Clyde in a damaged 
state. 
It is officially announced by tbe French and 
English Governments, that on the 14t.b, 58,000 
men landed without opposition at liupatoria, 
and immediately marched upon Sevastopol.— 
The transports returned to Varna for 14,000 
more French troops. The Russian fleet had 
again run into Sevastopol, and part of the allied 
fleet had arrived off Vas. 
The instructions issued to the troops at Var¬ 
na at the moment of their embarkation, had 
been published, and display evidence of the 
utmost care and forethought, and prove the in¬ 
tention of an immediate push upon Sevastopol 
by the combined force. 
A dispatch dated Varna, 22d, says:—From 
Russian sources it had been ascertained that 
tiie Russians did not oppose the landing of the 
allies, because the entire force in the Crimea 
numbers only 38,001) men, besides the garrison, 
200(1 strong, in Sevastopol. 
The Russians have 30,000 men and 48 guns 
on the heights, from St. Crimea to Sevastopol, 
and will defend these heights to the utmost. 
The first conflict was anticipated about tbe 
-1st or 22d, unless the Russians advanced from 
their positions to meet the allies. 
Ships with troops were off the fortress of 
Kimbirn, doubtless with a view of intercepting 
Russian reinforcements to the Crimea. The 
English are said to have captured a Russian ex¬ 
press steamer with important dispatches ofF Se¬ 
vastopol. 
Y ienxa, Wednesday.—Frenden Blant states 
that on the 13th, all the strand batteries re¬ 
cently erected at Odessa were destroyed by- 
part ot the allied fleet. A powder magazine 
exploded. 
St. Petersburgh, Sept. 14.—A number of 
regiments have been inspected by the Emperor 
and inarched for the campaign of the South. 
Constantinople, Sept. 17.—While the em- 
barcation at Y arna was proceeding, a Turkish 
steamer upset two gunboats and twenty Zouaves 
were drowned. 
The fleet which left the mouth of the Danube 
on the 3th Sept, met with a sudden accident— 
two transports having foundered. 
Athens, Sept. 16.— The French coinramider 
had demanded the reception of 2.000 t.rnjK at 
Athens. The King: refused, declaring- he would

YVe recommend a careful perusal of the fol¬ 
lowing plain statement both to postmasters and 
to subscribers, Irom a paper called “ Tbe Ad¬ 
vance,” published at Hernando, Mississippi: 
“ The uncertain arrival, or uncertain delivery 
of papers at country post offices, is often tbe 
ground of complaint against publishers and ed¬ 
itors. Many ot the otlices are poorly supplied 
with conveniences for taking care of papers, no 
matter with what certainty-they arrive. The 
papers are jutnblcd into a few little pigeon 
holes, or piled upon a desk, box or barrel, to 
await the call of subscribers, in the midst of 
boots, bats, bridles, horse collars, and other 
coarse wares, which may be called for during 
the day by ciistumrr^ Country postmasters, in 
most cases, beiuey^WJ^ffed in some mercantile 
business, many newspapers find their wav into 
some obscure corner, where they are bid for a 
time from human eyes, as completely as if 
buried in a mountain cave. In conies the man 
for his paper, and, as it cannot be found, of 
course it did not come. The indignant subscri¬ 
ber consequently abuses tbe rascally editor, and 
perhaps calls for pen, ink and paper to write a 
l>4ter of complaint for not sending bis paper 
punctually, when, if the said paper was endow¬ 
ed with speech, it would cry out, ‘ Here I am, 
squeezed to death behind this box, or under 
this barrel.’ We have seen just such things at 
many country post offices, elsewhere, as well as 
in this county. These remarks have no refer¬ 
ence to any particular- office, but are meaut for 
all where they will apply.”

His great work is acknowledged, as well in Great Britain

spoken, to be superior to any other. 
Dr. Webster’s F.ducaiional Works, it is believed, have 
done more to secure tlie uniformity of pronunciation and 
use of language, and freedom from Provincialism so re¬ 
markable in this country, especially when tlie great influx 
of Foreigners from all nations is considered, than any oth¬

The attention of the friends of popular education, Su¬ 
perintendents, Teachers and Parents, is solicited to the im¬ 
portance of pe-pe'uating this purity by the use of such a 
National Standard. 
Noah Webster,—Professor Stowe. 
Under date of Mav 15th, 1854. Professor Stowe, formerly 
of Ohio, now of Massachusetts, well known as an ardent 
and intelligent frond of popular education, says: 
“Iain decidedly in favor of Webster for the following 
reasons, to wit: 
1. Webster is the must uniformly analogical and self- 
consistent. 
2. His system falls in most completely with the tenden¬ 
cies of the language; and if in anything he goes bevond 
pre-ent. u-age, it is in the right direction, and the usage 
will soon overtake him. 
3. He has present possession of the ground more than 
any other one. In the United States lie is the authority , 
everywhere, excent in Boston, and even there more than 
any other one. In England he has more authority than 
any other one, and is continually gaining. 
4 He is the great American Philologist, the most learned 
and devoted scholar in his special, department, that the 
English language knows; and for this reason, other things 
being equal, he deserves the preference. 
5. If we would have uniformity, w e must adopt Webster, 
for he cannot Ire disnlaced : but others m u- he ”

Population of London. —It appears bv the 
British census returns that the French in’Lon- 
don number 108,548; the Scotch, 30,401. Of 
every 100,000 persons, born in England, 271 
were found to be in Scotland when the census 
was taken ; but of every 100,000 persons born 
in Scotland, 4723 were in England ; or, as the 
Registrar General has it, “ the tendency of the 
people born in Scotland to enter England, is 
seventeen times as great as the tendency of the 
English to enter Scotland.” There were 56,665 
foreigners resident in Great Britain; half of 
them were in London, which contained above 
1000 Russians at the time of the census.

Flaying Second Fiddle. —Matt Ward arrived 
in Louisville one day last week. The next day 
the Courier chronicled tlie following incident; 
A very estimable lady, a teacher in one of 
the city schools, was attacked by a woman with 
a club yesterday evening, in the neighborhood 
of Jackson and Gray streets. It appears that 
the woman felt herself aggrieved because the 
teacher had found it necessary to correct, in a 
gentle manner, a refractory child of the pugna¬ 
cious woman, who had been sent to school to 
learn something besides warfare, as she could 
doubtless have learned the savage arts at home. 
Thanks to a gentleman who interfered at the 
time, tlie insulted teacher wits not seriously in¬ 
jured. We hand the name of this heroic wo¬ 
man (Mrs. Adkins) down to posterity asa name 
well worthy to be classed among those whoso 
bantlings are superior to the rules of school dis¬ 
cipline.
