@he Rival Reapers in England. We have published reports of several trials, both in this country and in England, of rival reapers and mowers by various agricultaral associations the present year. The Leonomist, » London jo of high character, sums up the more important tests of the ive merits of rival machines which have beeu made during the late harvest in England, as follows :— REAPING MACHINES. We have purposely abstained from commenting upon the jous accounts of the progress made in reaping corn by machine, until the termination of | the harvest should enable us to forc some estimate | of the success of this new class of instruments, and to ascertain which of the several competing reaping — machines has proved the most effective. Enough | has been done by the use of the reaping machine to prove that ere long it will in @ great measure su- pereede hand reaping on large tarms. Even now great coonomy is obtained by using the machine, and ®eems reason to believe that great im | provements will be made in the different machines | now befere the public [ho following are reports on comparative trials made between rival reaping ms- chines. The first wasa trial betwoon [ussey’s Ame- | rican machine, as manufactured by Croskill, and | Mr. Bell’s original Soo:ch machiuo. The trial took | place on the farm of Mr. Warson, of Keillor, in the | presence of a numerous party of distinguished land- owners and agriculturalis’ The award of tho irdzee was strongly in favor of Bels’s machine. The | owing is the practical portion of the report:—- | ‘The two other machines were then set to work on simi- | lar lots of ground; end Hasey’s under jhe superiaten- denoe of Mr. Love cut about two thirds of the prescribsd quantity within the forty tive minutes, while, for some Teasom notexplained. the ocher did not complete its task. As these two machines were nearly similar, with the ex- ception of that exhibited by Lord Kinnaid, which had ‘an endless cloth revclving directly in the track of the machine, and inten ied to facilitate the delivery of the corn in Rt line bebind it, the work performed by them was neatly alike. We found. on examination, that the breadth cut was about three feet and a half ‘bh time; and though the stubble was well cut up hill, and when the machine worked against the inclination of the barley, yet it was quite the contrary down hill. where the | stalks were often dragged and left uncut. Indeed, so strongly did the director of flussey’s machine feel this difficulty, that after the trst round, he avoided cutting down at all, and confined himself to working up hill exclusively, by which nearly one-half of the time was lost. The stops of these two machines were also much more frequent than with Sells, arising from stones and other impediments, as well as from the cutters driving into the ground. which not oaly caused groat delay, but also ran much risk im damaging the machines irrepara- bly. From the shortness and peculiar constraction of the cutters, it appeared to us thet they were much too | liable te choke er clog. particularly when they came in contact with apything green. or, lying at an angle from them, whioh rendered it often necessary to stop the ma- chines,in order to have the teeth cleared, and the impedi- ments otherwise removed, When thetrial at the barley was completed, the par- tics adjourned to the wheat fieid, aud Bell's machine tirst charged directly into the cenire. and cut a large lane for iteelf upwards of six feet in breadth, laying the wheat, which was an exceedingly heavy crop, in a perfectly straight line, and peculiarly weli placed for the binders. | ‘The reaping of this heavy erop appeared to be compara- tively easy work after the barley. and the easy, masterly | way im which it was cut down, without any apparent dii- ficulty or noise, gave general satisfaction. Three quar- ters of an acre were cut within the half-hour, or at the rate of an acre within the three quarters, while the stub- ble appeared beautifully clean and well eut, and no delays whatsoever took place in the performnnce by Bell’s, “A lane having been thus cleared. the two other machines set to werk, and comp eted haifan acre each in shorter | time, and with greater case ibam with the barley, andjthe stubble exbibited none of those inequulities which marked ¢ down bill work at the other crop With regard to the relative merits ofthe different ma- chines, it is evident that two ot them ere imitations, but not improvements of Mr. Bell's original one, and with the exception of their being somewhat lighter and more | portable, when not actusily at work, and more easily turned, they do not retuin shat we consider the leading | and important features of his; while. though doing only two thirds of the work, they appear to be distressing to the men and horses that work them. Im the first place. them. we consider Bell's cutting 4s much superior to the knives or chirels of Hus- sey’s; that they do the work ina much easier and ef. fective manner, and sre not lieble to the stops and delays we have alluded to; nor are they calculated to frighten the horses not accustomed to thi a3 Hussey’s noisy, rattling choppers are apt todo. We also think that the wheel with the spiral thread around it, to work ths cut- | ting shears in Bell's, is a most ingenious improvement, and adds greatly to the easy und eifective working of the | machive. In the next place, Bell does by simple and ingenious machinery what Hus:ey attempts to do by manual labor, viz: togather the cora with the revolving fan, and in- ¢line it at the proper angie to the cutters, and also to de- liver it fiom the machine by the endless web, 80 as to | place it ima convenient position for the binders Aaother advantege incident to the original machine is, that the hortes propel it before them und can charge all at once | into the centre of the heaviest crop, and ciear a lane for themeelves withou: tram pling on the cora, and as the oad- less web works both ways, it delivers the cora uniformly, by rifting the gear at every turn, while the others must have a way first cleared tor them by reapers, before they commence their work. The next extract is from the report of a comnit- tee of the Driffield Farmers’ Club 19 Yor trial between Hussey’s and McCormick’s in whioh the decision was in favor of the latter, and = following contuins their reasons for that de- MoCermick’s machine is six feet wide, and Huasey’s five; but as it would be impovstble always to keep up a cutting exactly to there widths, they conceive that six inches lees is all that can be calculated upon, and at those widths, viz., five-and a half and four-anda half feet, and the horses moving at an average speed of two- and a half miles an hour (a pred a your committee would recommend,) Hussey’s machine would in five and- a-baif hours cut exactly seven-2nd-a half acres ; while in the same time, and with full a3 little horse power, McCormick's machine would do nine acres twenty- six poles. Another watter worthy of consideration is, that cne man ovly is needed to drive the horses in McCormick's machine. the horses being yoked abreast, while two sre necessary in Hussey’s the heres having to draw ina line SicCormick's machine also poseceses another advantage in having a wooden Teel, which, without any injury to the corn, materially aerists the man who pulie away the cheaves, and gives him a better opportunity of adjusting their size, But | the greatest superiority of WcUcrmick’s machine over Hussey's, which your committee haye to notice, is, that the sheaves, when pulled off, are laid in such a way as not to impede its working ro that two men and t ¥o horses May move on uninterruptediy, leaving the rest of the la- borers to be otherwise employed ; while in Hursey’s the sheaves are left behind. and a sufficient number of work- men ie, consequently, requisite to remove them, so that the mschine may goon. This, your committee need not point out, is a grave objection, more especially when the crops are much mixed with clover seeds, end when it is detirable to let tho sheaves remain unboand fora few days. Your committee are further of opivion that, from ‘the violent reverbatory moijon imparted to every part of Hussey’s machine. durablity is not to be expected ; and ‘that the form of the serrated cu:ters in McCormick’s ma- chine is far preferable to the deeply indented cutters in Hasory’s, and that they will not nearly so often need renewing. In giving a cecided preference to MoUormick’s, their opinions were unanimous. The report concludes with the following very sertible remarks on the célect produced on the agri- cultural laborers by the increased use of machinery in husbendry :— panier’ As your committee Lave already stated their opinion of the utility of well constructed reaping machines on the interests of the farmers, it may not be improper to state what, in their opinion wil! be their effect upon \ho condition of that useful and necessary clors, the farmers’ laborers They conceive they would be at mo loss for ar- guments to prove that in whatever brauch of industry Inachinery has been the most extensively useful. the con- dition of the operatives (however paradoxical it may ap- pear) bas been improved in s corresponding degree. For proof of the truth of this avertion. your commlttes need not go into the West Riding or Lancashire.but may con- fine themselves to a branch of our own industry immedi- ately under the observation of every one connected with ggricnleure; and as one fact is worth many arguments, Y may eall attention to the effects thut thrashing ma- cbines, drille, and many other iinpiemente for faci'itating apd lessening the necesrary operations of agriculture, have had upon the condition cf the laborer, and we shall find that, motvithstandivg the immense increase of the {aboring poor upon a limited surtue: nd their improved condition, that their predicted fewrs of the baleful effects of the introduction of machinery were altogether chi- merical and unfounded, and that, instead of consideriag themselves likely to be injured by the shifting of severe bodily iabor to animal or steam power, they are reaping im sdvantage which. properly understood, ought to be nailed by them as a boon as no advantage can be gained ay any class, that will not ultimately be spread over the whole community. A third report is of a3trial between Hussey’s ma- ibine, manufactured by Garrett, and MoVormick’s, nade by Messrs Burgess & Key, which took piace m the Agricultural College farm at Cirencester. dere also McOormick’s seems to have boen pre- ‘erred:— ‘Theat, upon examination of the fields in which the ops hed been cut. we found the work to have been jemerally well and satisfactorily done by both machines, yat the stubble lett by Hussey s appeared, in all descrip. jons of grain, rather the nestest and most even. In each are it bad been considered necessary to follow with the voree-rake, which had effectually cleared up all the reste, amounting. it was found on the wheat stubbie, to 14 burhels per sere aiter MVormick’s and i}5 after G ett’s machine The wheat fields we consideied to have ten favorable for the working of the machines. being gen level and clean. end to have presented fair average ‘ama up erepe im no places much lutd, such as were likely »bave produced in a fair yield, about probably thircy usbele per acre, or rather wc The beanr, a moderate rop, drilled twenty-two inches apart. hed been cut priaci- siiy by McCormick's mactine, which had made very fair ork; and the rmall portion upon which Uussey’s had hoe {cd was equally well done in bork instances, leaving « ore tidy stubble then the scythe which had ‘ yan edjolping portion of th: crop.

M’Cormick’s, on the contrary, was driven by a man peated on the machine, at the ordinary pace of cart- horses—say two and « half miles per hour, arate at which a pair cf horses might work @ whole day, as at plow, and with as little distrees; for this machine appears not only to be lighter in itself, but to work with more ease to the horses then the other, being so balanced as to throw a very slight pressure upon the horses’ back, while t weight on the pole of Hussey’s is Yery considerable did not test particularly the quantit: each machine in a given time; though in the accounts re- corded by Mr. Vallentine, of the performanoes, it did not appear that there was much difference between them im this respect, cach cutting between five and six roods per hour on averege. We consider, however, that if Mec«rmick’s machine, which clears a foot wider s aye than the other, is the lighter and less distressing to work, it must out the greatest quantity, moving at that steady ordinary pace which we deem not only most desirable for the enke of the borses, but alro for ceouring the continu. ous delivery of the sheaves with precision and regularity, and tbat any increase to be obtained by driving the horses beyond that speed would be dearly purchased are, therefore, of opinion that of the two machines thus tried, McCormick’s has the advantage in lightness of draught, security of cutting, end clearing itself under siverse circumtances, sud in the more conyentent delivery of the sheaves. The report concludes by stating that both ma- chines possese many merits, and ‘wre capable, even in their present state, of doing much servioe to the | farmer, but that both are susceptible of very great improvement.” A challenge has also boon given and accepted for a trial between Bell’s and M’Cor- mick’s machines. Nothing is more likely to pro- duce improvement in this very valuable addition to ourrural machinery, than the active compotition | which is in existence between the makers of the ri- val implements. {From the Sunderland Times of Sept 18, 1852 ] Tar Rrarmxa Macuines.—Mr. M’Cormick has been in this neighborhood, during the past fort- night, awaiting the acceptance of his challenge to all other machines to come and compete. Nocom- petitor, however, made its appearance. At Ful- well, at the end of last week, and at Washington, on Wednesday, Mr. M’Cormick consequontly had | the field to himself, and the trials wore such a3 to afford additional evidence of the justness of the con- clusion come to by the judges at the recent Durham County Agricultural Show, a3 well as the stiil | higher verdict of the jurors at the great Exhibi- , tion. Though, however, Mr. Bell was not present on these occasions, he was expected to come southward shortly, ard, unless the season were too late, or Mr, M’Cormick gone, a contest was anticipated between the American and his northern rival. Wo see it stated by the Scotsman, however, that Mr. Bell's advisers have advised him not to accept the chal- lenge of Mr. M’Cormick, so that Mr. M’Oormick denied the opportunity in this noighborhood—pro- bably the only part of the kingdom in which any on the same fiel that of Mr. Bell. | field for the Taeneee remains uncut—of exhibiting, | > the suporiority of his reaper ovor FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. MONEY MARKET. Faipay, Nov. 12—6 P. M. The stock market this morning opened rather flatly, owing to rumors respecting Nicaragua; but the maintain- ance of the price caused the market to close firmly. Mr. James De Pcyster Ogden has been elected President of the company, in the place of Mt. G. T. Snow, who re- signed his situation because, as we understand, he intends taking up his residence in Europe permanently. In tho afternoon the market was quiet but stea: The spesu- lative tendency of the foreign markets which is exhibited in France and England has not been imparted to our stock market, but this state of things on the other side will finally be felt here. The speculation, so far, has been confined to Wall street, and outsiders have not par- ticipated to anyextent. New banks are being established in every section, and the volume of currency is rapidly increasing. Several new institutions are in embryo in this city. The Corn Exchange, the Equitable, and the Miners’ Bank, are about organizing, under the best suspices. At tbe second board the market was firm, and closed with an upward tendency.

For this transit trade. this canal will be a competitor with the Erie and Oswego canals; the Erie, New York, Central, Ogdensburg, and Cape Vincent railways. If it can be shown to be as desirable a route for the through trade” as either of those above-mentioned, ite importance as an investment. as well as its influence on the costiy cenals of the St. Lawrence, cannot be overrated, By furnishing a direct, cheap, and oapacious eommu- nication between the great lumbering districts of the Ot- tawa, the Upper and Lower St. Lawrence, and the great- ett lumber mart in the world—that of Albany and Troy —it will enhance the value of one of our staple exports, the importance of which !s beecming annually greater; the supply of which we shall control almost exclusively, and the cheap and expeditious transport of which, to the entrance of this canal, we possess in our grand water com- munication, unexampled facilities, By connecting Li ‘bamplain with the St Lawrence upon an efficient koale, we open the distriets upon that Jake to the sea via Quebec, and afford them, through the Richelieu river, a shorter and cheaper route for importa of coal, irom. salt, fish. oil, &c., which articles cau be laid Gown at Quebec at cheaper rates that at sny other Amo- rican port, in censequence of the large amount of ton- page entering {awards in ballast, ia pursuit of cargoes of timber. Having noted the object of this work, it will be proper to show what the trade is for which it will become a com- petitor. For this purpose. all local or “way traffic’? should be thrown aside, and that shipped from Lakes Bric and Ontario to the Hudvron river, and rice versa, as shown by the returns of the New York State canals, for 1861, alone , tc be teken into consideration ‘The through tonnage which arrived at the Hudson, and d off from the Western States or Canada was Value Coming in by way of Buffalo $19.264 185 | do do Oswego. « 340,338 7 664,130 do do Whiteball.; 80 601 1,457,662 | Liss suaneevins « 1,047,684 $28 885,077 In th railroad. & small portion of which may be through traifle In the 80 601 tons arrived via Whiteball, are included the exports of Lake Champlain, which cannot be counted a3 rame year. 47 107 tone arrived at tide water by part of the future trade of the proposed osnal.

Having shown the prosent maguitude and prospective increase of the trade between the extreme points which it would be the object of this canal to connect, bya more | speedy. cheap. and capacious route ; the next question is what proportion of this trade mey fairly be claimed for the route in question. The Welland canal bas increased ina greater ratio than the Erie, and the Oswego route has progressed more ra- Pidly than the Buffelo one, simply because it short-ns th t canai 154 miles. and increases the h of the voyage to the lake craft, without increasing 1! time of traaeport. | ‘The progressive imorease in the up and down trade, through Buffalo and Oswego, is chown as follows = one. 1840....

Even with equal conditions, equal cimo of | transit, and equal cost of carriage. there is more certainty | where the boat canal navigation is reduced to amini- | mum ; and, with such an immense trade afloat, avy route which could offer cqual faoilities only, would un- | | doubtedly secure a fair share of the present and future | | trade—while in the case of the present canal, it could not | | fail to receive the preference for the carriage of the food and manufactures between New England amd the West, and for the transport of emigrants, The Ogdensburg road has carried between the opon- fog of navigation, and 24th July, 1852, the following, among other articles, from the river St. Lawrence:— | Flour. 10,412 bois, | Wheat 210,120 bus, Com.. 165.279 do, This xoad carries flour from "0; to New York fer 2s, per bbl., and from Hamilton as low as 2s, 3d. whole cost of a barrel of flour from Lake Erie to fcaction under 10d per barrel; the price from Rouse’s Point to New York being 1s 34, 'and from Whitehall 9d. per barrel. The preseat cost, there- | fore, from Ogdensburg to Whitehall, is 1s. 3d per barrel, | and thie is the “mmargin’’ which exists for payment of ex- tra freight toa vessel continuing on, past Ogdensburg to | Whitehall. Now, 9d. per barrel would be amp'e addition- al freight to a cargo from Lake Erie or Ontario, to oon- | tinue on, through a ship caual, to Whitehall. To com: | pete. the railroad must come down from the present price of1s 3d. to 9d. 3d. of which, at least, must be given to the oaiticr on Lake Champlain, leaving only Gu, to the road, to cover transport, storage, loading and unloading. The avoidance of the two transhipments by the railroad | route, would compensate for the insurancs dowa the St. Lawrence; and with respect to time—if the rapids bo- ceme the route for freight, as they now are for maila and passengers—a cargo could be delivered cooner by the pro- | pored canal than (with the loading and unloading) it it could be by “rail ” The competition of the “rail” for the “down trade” is | not, therefore, to be feared. | With respect to the capability of this route, as a com. | petitor with the Erie Canal— decidedly the best existing route between the Hudson and the Wert—it appears from the official report of the New York canals, that the ave- | rage tonuage of a boat between Buffalo and Albany. in 1861, was seventy-eight tons, the time required averaged eight and a half days, and the cost of transport, including tell, averaged forty-nine cents, of which twenty-three anda half cents is toll—leaving twenty-five and a half cents or 1s. 31;d. for freight. Tho lowest “freight” was in August, when it was only 1s 01/d.,and the highest was in November, when it reached 1s. 10d. per barrel | Starting from Cleveland, there is freight to Buifalo— | trenshipment at Buffalo—forty. nine cents for carriage to Albany, and freight from Albany to New York. ‘The ave- Tage cost from Cleveland to New York, ofa barrel of flour, could not be ‘ placed” under 88.. which could, therefore, be the average price charged via the propozed canal. It has been already eeen that 9d. is the cost of a barrel from Whitehall to New York—there remains, therefore, 2s. Sd. to cover freight and tolls from Cleveland to Whi'chall. | If the tolls on the New York canals were aboli-hed alto- | gether, the average freight feom Cleveland to New York would be thirty-six and « half cents, and from Whitehall | to New York eleven, and ahelf, which would leave to the | carrier ey five cents, or lz, 3d currency, from Cleve- | | | land to Whitehall, without toll; or equal to a freight of 1s. §d., paying the present rate of toll on the Welland aud St Lawrence canals. With return cargo @ net freight of 1s. Sd. por barrel would be a remunerative price. | In point of time a freight steamer from Cleveland, de- scending the rapids to Lake St. Louls, would deliver her cargo in four and a half days at Whitehall. from whence it weuld reach Albany in one end a half days more; mak- | ing six days time against nine days by Buffalo aud Ero canal, Thus far the question has been viewed without refer- ence to the probable enlargemen: of the canal from Whitehall to Troy. ‘The certainty that this enlargement must follow the appearance of brigantines and 500 ton steamers at the foot of Lake Champlain, coming from Lakes Michigaa, Huron, Erie, and Superior, forms one of the strongast ia- @ucemente tothe construction of this cansl. The influ- ence of the city of New York would at once effec: this enisrgement; and when a route is opened which will ad- mit of © through transport’? without transhipment, be. tween the great commercial emporium of America and the lakes, such a route cannot fail at once to take the lead of ali existing or passable communications, during the season of navigation inland | The cost of a canal of suitable dimensions, to connect | the waters of the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain, is estimated at four hundred and sixty thousand pounds— an expenditure, which, it is confidently believed, would be amply compensated for, by the certainty of a large in- ereare of revenue which would result from it; as well di. _ reotly as bed tendency to bring imto full play ail the other existing cavals on the St. Lawrenoe, at provent ecmpsratively but little used. As much has been said and written about railway com. | petition. it deserves some notice. At Cape Vincent and | Oudeneburg, two railroads have already appeared, to | divert trade from ths St. Lewrence canals, and others | will undoubtedly follow. It has been proved, that rail- ‘waye carry certain articles at rates which are wholly un- remunerative. and at which they lose money, with the object of building up their terminal points, ootaining a revurn (rade, and the increased passer ger travel due to a | larre ‘rade—snd from there last they hope to earn their | ividen The actual cost of reilwsy tran:port is undetermined, varying as it must with the nature of the road and its | traffic, Compared with euch navigations asthe St Law- | rence the charge for railroad transport over long dis- tances must always be higher, to yield a prefit, than that | by water; but where the water route avoids tranship- mient and its neceseary delays, the railroad is at still | greater disadvantage. Moreover, the ‘want of comparative capacity for a | trade ot the magnitude and rapid progress of the one under consideration, must remove all anxiety for our canals, on the question of railway competition.

All agree im the view set forth in the Hen many weeks ago, that the whole mar- ‘ket business has fallen into the hands ofa third party stand- ing between the producer and consumer, formed by the union of the huckster and the moneyied speculater. The latter gains by buying. im various sections of the country, at a favorable time of the year, the different articles from ve erate Kerrier ress Eat ind or bush- as the caze may be, ing his purc! ‘at peints favorable for transit ‘othe city market, selling at once to the huckster, who must pay himself for money, interest, time, and his retail trouble, from the imperious necessity for supply which preeres upon our industrial inhabitants, Thus a gigantic combination has and ® complete market monopoly is the result. The far- mer actually loses by the operation of this agency, for, in many instancee, tho speculator engages to pay him only twenty-five, thirty, or thirty-six cents for a bushel of potatoes, which aro afterwards sold in New York at price ranging from six to ten shil- lings for the same measure, This remark holds good with regard to the butter trade, and it is well known that the scarcity of hay in the northern districts of the couatry, is forcing a eule of live stock, at ruinously low to the sgrisulturist. whilst at the same time the prices of beef and mutton in the city have beoome ruinously bigh te the citizens. Now, if the farmer could reach the city with his produce. and sell it himself, @ slice from the united profits of the huckster and money lender, would remunerate him well, and puta good desl of cash into the pockets of the people for the supply of other necos- aries perhaps luxuries, to their families. With regard to the price of butter we may mention, that » gentleman in the city will receive by the noxt—if he has not had it by the last—stcemer, one hundred weight of the finest Irish butter for family use, This butter has been gelect- | ey ed with the greatest care, the highest price prevailing in the Irith market paid for it. and, after the discharge of a mail steamer freightage, it will not cost more than thirty two cents per pound, being about two cents below the retail price of the best 8 county butter. This aflords sufficient evidence that there is .omething locally wrong in our market system. The remedies proposed ere various, all tending toward a free trade in meat and vegetables . ‘The desire for an open market seems to have made great progress in the public mina, but how this isto be effected bas not been distinctly proposed. Some speak of the building of markets by private or jolut stock enterprize, at or near the suburbs portions of the Toutes of our great railways leading to and from the city. Others mention the extemsive importation of butter from Treland. We fear that neither would succeed in produ- cing cr maintaining a market avorage. fair to all parties ; for the capital of the huckater speculators is so large that, for a time, they would sell at prices so as to come under the new trader, and drive him from the field with loss, ‘This matter is worthy the most serious attention of our new city government, for ix our opinion, a fair and just market arrangement can only bo produced by a wice. honest. and comprebensive city ordimance. Forestalling should be entirely prohibited, easy access and acoommo- dation given to all persons baving erticl»s of human food to sell. and the markets cleared of the coffee houses and refrerhment shops, with which they are encumbered. As early as 1684. a corporation committee, appsiated to re- Peay on the state of the markets, recommended “that no jucksters be permitted to buy anything’to sell agsin, until ithad been in the market two hours,” and “that any person buying or cheapening any fleab, fish, ete , coming to market, to torfelt six shillings.” It the city govern- ment would act on the report of that coramittee, in our opinion. things would soon rate at ‘ir level of prices ’» ADVERTISEMENTS RENEWED EVERY DAY. meSHhE SEVENTH PAGE. -on WAN REDITS TO AMERICAN TRAVELLERS OAD \ will oieranted by the undersigned, on the thaowint ones— ts Towns.
