Arrival of the Steamship Hibernia. 
Halifax Telgraph Office, ) 
Thursday morning, July 11. j 
The Hibernia arrived at 6 o’clock this morning, 
and sailed at 74 o’clock—wind S. E. 
Xlie Spauisli Goverument Ejccited. 
It is said that Gen. Narvaez has had a warm 
discussion with the Emba-ssador of the United 
Spates, in which he expressed the astonishment 
and regret of the Spanish Government that the 
Government of the United States had not prevent¬ 
ed the expedition of Lopez from being prepared 
in the States, but had allowed it to depart with 
the object of attacking Cuba. 
It is also reported that the Spanish Minister has 
addressed a warm remonstrance to Washington, 
embodying the views of the Spanish Government 
and that this note is not written in a very amica¬ 
ble spirit. _ 
Assault ou tuo t^uceu. 
The chief feature of the news of the week is 
the debate in the House of Commons relative to 
the policy of the ministry on the Greek question, 
and the committing of a cowardly assault on the 
Queen by a man named Plato, formerly an offi¬ 
cer in the Tenth Dragoons. The oSense was 
commited against her Majesty in the following 
manner: Shortly after 6 o’clock, on Thursday 
evening, her Majesty was leaving Cambridge 
House in company with Prince Albert, when 
from among the crowd assembled to witness her 
departure a man walked out with a walking-cane 
in his hand and made an assault ou the person of 
Her Majesty. He struck her on the head and 
face repeatedly, but fortunately his blows took no 
effect beyond a demolition of her bonnet. The 
Queen appeared at the Italian Opera the same 
evening, where she was greeted with the most 
loyal and enthusiastic reception. The miscreant 
has been taken into custody and has undergone 
an examination, at which he appeared perfectly 
sane, and it is said that he has been living in good 
circumstances. 
France, 
The bill for the increase of the President’s 
salary, was finally voted upon, on Monday. It, 
in effect, confims the demands made by the Pres¬ 
ident and resisted by the Special committee. The 
measure was carried by the same number of a 
majority of 46 aa have retained the English Min¬ 
istry in power for a short time longer. The 
President’s friend, Gen Changaruier, made a 
speech on the debate, which, it is said, was so 
brilliant as to produce great effect upon the fa¬ 
voring members of the Assembly. On Monday, 
in the Constitutionnel, the President modestly ac¬ 
cepted the bill in the name of the French Repub¬ 
lic, and himself, as the united expression of the 
F'reuch will in the appreciation of his services.— 
The Government look upon the carrying of this 
bill as a great victory, and the friends of order are 
congratulating themselves upon the feeling which 
has been displayed. 
Tlio GreeU Question Settled. 
Gen. Lahitte announced to the Assembly on 
Monday, the conclusion of the favorable negoti¬ 
ations with England, lespecting the Greek affair. 
He said, the Government of the Republic hopes 
it will bo evident to all that from the first to the 
last act of that long negotiation, its conduct was 
only inspired by the sentiment of national digni¬ 
ty, by a spirit of conciliation, and a desire of 
maintaining general peace. 
This communication vi'as received with loud 
applause on the right. 
Secret Society—Conspiracy. 
The Government has discovered another secret 
society in Paris. Twenty-seven persons have 
been arrested, and all of them have proved to be 
diseharged June insurgen.s. 
The conspiracy discovered at Oran, in Algiers, 
is said to have had extensive ramifications. 
Great numbers of peisons belonging to secret 
societies have been arrested in Paris and the prov¬ 
inces. 
Louis Pliilippo Better. 
The Debais at&iea that letters from St. Leonards 
of 22nd June announce that the amelioration 
which had recently manifested itself in the health 
of Louis Philippe continues. 
Lamartine goes to Xnrkoy. 
Lamartine embarked at Marseilles for the East 
on the morning of the 2l9t inst, accompanied by 
his lady. He proposes being back in the month 
of September. 
ITIiscellaueous. 
General Changarnier is on the most friendly 
terms with the President. 
The Globe correspsndent reports that it is in¬ 
tended by the Ministry, if things go on smoothly, 
to try after the prorogation a revision of the cus¬ 
toms tariff in a sense which would reciprocate 
advantageously to the commerce of both coun¬ 
tries. 
The President of the Republic has given a 
grand dinner to-day to the Marquis and Mar¬ 
chioness of Normanby and the diplomatic corps. 
It is considered that its real object was to show the 
world that any temporary coolness between the 
two governments has now passed away. 
Funds at a fourth per cent, higher ; fives clos¬ 
ing at ninety-four twenty. 
Gormauy. 
The Parliament of Erfurt will meet in August. 
The idea of a third German Union has been for¬ 
mally avowed, and proposed to be carried into ef¬ 
fect by the Government of Hanover. It is the 
plan of a North Germany, to be formed of Han¬ 
over, Oldonburgh, and the free cities of those 
smaller States that are naturally allied to Hano¬ 
ver. The principle of the alliance is that of free 
trade. The movement of the South German 
Manufacturers in favor of high protective duties, 
sanctioned by the Prussian Minister of Commerce, 
has induced Flanover to announce distinctly the 
plan of this third league. 
Nliscollauoous. 
There has been a change in the Austrian rep¬ 
resentation at Berlin, and rumors have arisen of 
'new disputes between Prussia and Austria.- 
The cholera has reappeared at Berlin. Among 
many other seizures of presses, that of the Prus¬ 
sian Zeitung is announced. Being a Royalist and 
‘anti-revolutionary journal, its confiscation excites 
especial remark The war upon the press is car¬ 
ried on with the utmost rigor. 
M. Hastendeg, Chief Minister of Hess Cassel, 
has been found guilty of embezzling the public 
funds. Another account says he has been con¬ 
victed of forgery.

SEYMOUR’S GRAIN DRILL. 
T his DRILI,, which was patented in Septem¬ 
ber, 1849, is one of the latest improvements in 
Drilling Machines, and better adapted to the wants 
of the farmer than any other now before the public. 
It sows or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
peas, beans, corn and cotton, to the smallest seeds— 
and cornbines the advantages of sowing either broad 
cast or in drills. It is an excellent Broad Cast Sow¬ 
ing Machine, when the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken ofl’. 
Many farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
floats off,) for the double purpose of separating it 
frorn foul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or other 
fertilizing substances. 'I’his has the advantage over 
other drills, inasmuch as it performs well in sowing 
grain thus prepared, while they utterly fail in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog other machines, are not serious obsta¬ 
cles iu this, 'Uhose who wish to soak their seed for 
any purpose whatever, or mix with it any fine fer¬ 
tilizers, such as lime, plaster, bone dust, &c.,—and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid 
the injury done to the seed by thrashing with a 
machine —will find THIS THE DRILL FOR 
THEM. 
When drilling with this machine, the grain falls 
from the grain-box to the tubes, (a space of six 
inches,) in full view of the person attending it — 
so that, in ptussing over the field, he may be con¬ 
stantly ASSURJ^.D that the seed is deposited ns he de¬ 
signs. The teeth are all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever, and the seed all stooped at 
once; or one may be raised at a time, and the seed 
it discharges stopped. * 
The convenience and simplicity with which this 
machine is managed is unparalleled. No necessary 
expense or pains have been spared in making it as 
desirable, in all respects, as possible, and after ?nany, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
in seeding lime, with the. farmer, under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (who was bred 
a practical farmer, and ought to know something of 
the farmer’s wants,) feels assured that the machine 
is not only established on correct principles, but is 
got up in that simple and permanent stylo and good 
taste which cannot fail to suit all. 
The first premium, for a Grain Drill capable of de¬ 
positing fine manures with the grain, was awarded 
to this Machine at the Fair of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse in Sept., 
1849. It also received the first premium at the 
Michigan State Fair, in 1849, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most reliable sources, 
are subjoined:— 
Mr. Seymoui —Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and with some of it abffut a bushel and a half 
per acre of ashes and hen dung was mixed, and all 
to my entire satisfaction. He has also drilled in 
about 100 acres for others, and I believe all are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. IRA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seymoni —Dear Sir: You ask for my 
opinion with regard to the Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particulars, I 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any other which I have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. 1 would not willingly' disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, &,c., 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY. 
This may certify, that I have used Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. WM. OTIS. • 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1849. 
I have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
them from Ira R. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re¬ 
lied on. The other certificates, I have no doubt, 
are from equally reliable sources. 1 have myself 
heard the Drill spoken of in high terms of commen¬ 
dation, by' farmers who had used it; and have also 
seen it in operation, and believe it to be af least one 
of the very best in use. I was present at the State 
Fair, in September last, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely' to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly' true. ISAAC W. MITCHELL.

SEYMOUR’S GARDEN DRILL 
Is a small Machine of suitable size to be drawn by 
a man. It is got up on the principles of the Grain 
Drill, and will plant peas, beans, beets, and even 
carrots, or any kind of garden seeds, mixed with 
pliister, &c. It is very convenient for large gar¬ 
deners, as it will sow five rows at once as readily as 
the Garden Drills in common use will sow one, and 
is much less liable to clog. 
Seymour’s bro.yd cast sowing machine. 
This macliine is well known in Western New- 
Vork, and is universally acknowledged to be ihe 
best implement in our country, for the purposes for 
which it is intended. It sows correctly, all kinds 
of Gniin, (and nay desired quantity per’acre,) from 
peas to grass seed — including wheat, rye, oats, bar¬ 
ley', buckwheat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed. Also plaster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
dust, &,c. Ac. It is capable of dusting every' inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel of plaster; and thirty or forty bushels of 
lime may' be thus evenly applied to the same amount 
of land, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
This machine has been much improved by sub¬ 
stituting iron in several important parts in the place 
of wood, making it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium at five County and two State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine; 
We, the undersigned, being well acquainted with 
Soy'mour’s Broad-cast Sowing Machine, do say it is 
well adapted to all the purposes for which it is de¬ 
signed, and it far exceeds all others of which we 
have any' knowledge.

DAVID CLARK, Seneca. 
This may certify, that I have used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, peas, 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oats, 8 
bushels of peas, and 20 bushels of barley in one 
day, and I think 30 acres a reasonable day’s w'ork. 
J. H GLASS, Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —Dear Sir: The Sow’ing Machine 
I purchased of y'ou in September last, fully answers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the best 
farming implements of which ourcountry can boast. 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —It gives me pleasure to state that 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess. JABEZ GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sowing Macliine for sowing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is excellent on account of sowing so 
much more evenly than can bo sowed by hand. In 
sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav¬ 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.
