CoRN CRACKER-Mr. A. Dodge, grocer Rob.

COkN CkAChEk.-Mr. n. DOuBe, grocer, Rob
erts street, has erected in the rear of his cstab
lishment one of the most needful pieces of ma
chinery required by the growing wants of a
growing population. 1t is patent mill, driv-
en- by horse power, for grinding all sorts of cat
tie feed. As it is within a step of Vincent's
well stocked livery and sale stable the power
to drive it will never be wanting, equal if ne
ccssary to that required for two run of stun
Dodge has also recently taken partner in the
grocery business. and received all his stock from
bclOw-a most excellent one.
The news is confirmed that fighting has
already commenced between the Russians and
Turks in Wallachia. The soldiers of the Car
confidently expect to Sound their bugles in
the streets of Stamboul by the first of May,
1854" That sounding of bugles will doubtless
be in horn.
- An cxcruciating wit up town says the
Car got Hungary in 1s49, and has now called
for Turkey for his repast. Horrid, horrid!
TIE GOLD MINES OF PERu.-We have been IA
vorcd by gentleman in this city, says the Pa
mama Mail of the 10th, with the following cx-
tract of letter dated
LIMA, Sunday, Sept. IS, 1853.
"Thc accounts from the land near the ANA
zOn in regard to mineral wealth are truly great
Quicksilver, copper, silver and gold arc in the
greatest abundance. If tenth part of what is
stated is true, then it will be enough to draw q
great emigration to this country"
The New York correspondent of a Buffalo
paper thus describes what he saw at the opera
in New York city, a few days since:
"A little scene occurred an evening or two
since at the opera, at NiblO's, which is worthy
of passing notice. as indicating the indcpcn-
dcncc Of 'sovcreigns.' Ex-Presidcnt Tyler,
accompanied by his beautiful and accomplished
wife, entered the theatre after the performance
had commenced, and found every seat occupied
The ushcrs hustled about for few moments,
endcavOring to procure some place for them to
sit, but in vain. and the cX-King of the Yankees
with his Queen upon his arm, was compelled to
retire.
st Paul has another additiOn-Lambcrt g.
Co.'S, situated on the high ground northeast of
the capitol, and affording fine sites for rcsiden-
ces.

TIE Two ARMIEs.-Thc N. y Courier & En-
qurer has the following remarks upon the abil-
ity Of the two respective European combat
ants:
Turkey maintained hard contest with Rus
STA twenty-five years ago; she will maintain
far harder one now. Then she had a revenue
of twenty millions of dOllars-an army of hut
thirty-two thousand men, unorganizcd and with
out tried gcncrals-nO fleet, for her fleet had
been destroyed at NavarinO, all her great Chris
tian population in state of insubordination on
account of the recent war with Greccc-Egypt
her enemy, and Syria and Arabia under the
control of Mehemet Ali. Now she has twice the
rcvenuc--an army six times as large, thorough
ly equipped, we'll disciplined, ably officcred-a
powerful ilect-almost the entire Christian pop
ulatOn enthusiastically in her favor-all the
Mahomctan races of Northern Africa and West
ern Asia making common cause with her. Rus
STA is hardly more powerful now than them
Her fleet has not materially increased. She
then had Il hundred thousand Poles and thirty
thousand Circassians in her army: now every
Pole in her army, and sixty thousand men are
required to keep these Circassians in check. II
she had no wealth then, she has but little now,
and but limited credit. A spirit of dcscrtiOn
pcrvadcs the Russian troops in the Principali-
ties, so that there has already been necessity
of withdrawing the regular cavalry two march
es from the Danube, and replacing them with
Cossacks The cholera is making havoc in the
Southern army; and as far as relates to COM
missariat and hospital accommodations Russia
is now in much the same condition as in the last
war, when she lost $50, 900 men and so 900 hor-
ses by disease and hunger alone. Besides all
this, the Russian forces on the ground. are alb.
solutcly inferior in numbers to the Turkish. and
the season is too far advanced to allow materi-
al reinforcement
If any one about these parts should freeze
to death this winter, the sin cannot be laid at
the door of Whine & Cooley, for they have pro-
vidcd everything to clOthe that important elc-
ment of human sOcicty-thc million. In their
establishment can be found all manner of win
ter articles to deck out q man either for the

perior. Late arrivals have fully completed
