Arrival of the Atlantic. 
The steamship Atlantic arrived at New York 
- August 4, with Liverpool dates to July 22. 
The news relates mainly to the outbreak of 
the civil war in Spain. The statements repre¬ 
senting its progress and prospects are very con¬ 
flicting. It would appear that O’Donnel had 
previously prepared to crush any manifestation, 
and had assembled in and around Madrid 18,- 
000 troops against their forces. The National 
Guard and citizens held their ground for thirty 
hours, and at length gave in, and were disarm¬ 
ed. Two hundred persons were killed in the 
emeute. 
Latest accounts state that the Cortez had re¬ 
moved to Arragon,and were under General En- 
fante. They intended to make war upon Queen 
Isabella and her ministry, in the name of “Lib¬ 
erty and the Constitution.” The London and 
other papers say the insurrection was encour¬ 
aged by the O’Donnel party. Espartero is very 
strong in Arragon, which is a stronghold of the 
Liberals. 
The Emperor of France had ordered a French 
force to assemble on the Spanish frontier. A 
letter from the Secretary of the Spanish. Lega¬ 
tion at Paris says: The difficulty between 
Spain and Mexico has been honorably settled. 
The British news is unimportant. Parlia¬ 
ment will adjourn about the 30th. Earl Malms- 
berry called attention to the difficulty between 
Brazil and England, arising from the treatment 
of the British minister at Rio, in a question 
concerning the slave trade, and particularly in¬ 
sisted on the value of retaining the friendship 
if Brazil, in case of war with the United States, 
-ord Clarendon explained that Brazil had no 
il will towards Great Britain. 
Markets.— Breadstuff’s generally were firm, 
ant a moderate business was transacted; the 
betur grades of flour were well maintained, 
but t^ lower grades had a declining tendency. 
In wieat the better grades of flour bad ad¬ 
vanced, Id, while other grades were about 2d 
per bushel lower. Corn was firm, but transac¬ 
tions wire small. The weather was unsettled. 
Beef End pork were in rather better demand, 
but quotations were without change.

The grain market is improving; best brands of flour are quo¬ 
ted 25c per bbl above last week, and wheat is 6@10c a bushel 
better, l’rime new Genesee now sells in this city at $1,66@

but Barley is in demand at better prices. One of our most 
extensive malsters was paying yesterday 81@88c. 
Meats and the products of the Dairy remain at last weeks 
quotations. 
Potatoes have pone up rapidly within a few days in conse¬ 
quence of drouth and a prospect of short crops. Hay is a dol¬ 
lar better on the tun, and other changes of minor importance 
have occurred.

Arrival of the Steamer Emu. 
The Cunard steamer Emu arrived at New 
York August 4th, with Havre dates to July 21st. 
Advices from Florence state that a negotia¬ 
tion bad been pending for some time between 
the Governments of Rome, Naples, Florence 
and Modenna, for the purpose of forming a con¬ 
federation of those States under the patronage 
of Austria. 
There have been serious disturbances at Cas- 
cena in the Papal States, also at Naples. A 
Republican conspiracy has been detected at 
Tarentum in the Two Sicilies. Several arrests 
have been made. The Russian Ambassador at 
Rome, it is said, has arranged all difficulties 
with the Holy See touching the nominations of 
Bishops for Poland.

A Hamilton (C. W.) paper publishes births 
as well as marriages and deaths. In a recent 
issue it was published that a husband and wife, 
whose names are given, had each a son. 
A meeting was recently held in Montreal to 
request the Governor General to resign. It is 
said to have been small and uninfluential. 
The Canadian papers are discussing the 
question of “an elective Governor.” 
The Hamilton Spectator saysThe grain 
harvest has been pretty general during the past 
week, and the bulk of the wheat crop has been 
secured. The wheat is an average crop, but the 
spring grain is far from promising, owing to the 
dry season. 
The Cobourg Sun of yesterday says that from 
Indian Village to Peterboro’, along the railway,

that serious riots have taken place in the par¬

Fidele, L. C., the inhabitants having risen in 
crowds and attacked the Municipal Councils, 
beating them and turning them out of their

THE HOOKER STRAWBERRY. 
There can now be no question as to the superior merit of 
this new variety. It has this season received the first premium 
of the Genesee Valley Horticultural Society for 1 ‘ the best quart," 
and the unanimous admiration of all who have seen or 
cultivated it. Some of its recommendations are: 
Great size and remarkable beauty 
Unequalled excellence and richness of flavor.' I 
Very hardy, productive, and vigorous plant, with per¬ 
fect flowers. 
Very early maturity, and lasting a long time. 
For the amateur’s garden it has no equal ; it will produce 
a full crop alone, and will also answer the purpose of a fer¬ 
tilizer for the pistillate sorts. 
■Young plants will be strong enough to transplant by the first 
of Sept., after which time they can be supplied. Price $1,50 
per dozen—$5 per 100. H. E. HOOKER & CO.

Situated In Fontlae, Oakland Co., Michigan. 
Having made permanent arrangements for going into busi¬ 
ness on the first of January next at Nashville, Tennessee, I 
must dispose of my farm on which I reside at tho earliest 
possible time. It contains 165 acres first quality land, 
highly cultivated, nearly free from stumps, dry rolling land, 
extra well watered, a fair supply of timber, and a soil not sur¬ 
passed for wheat growing ; well adapted to dairy business, 
having about thirty acres of well drained low-land on the back 
part, which produces extra large crops of corn, oats and grass. 
Two years since 1 sold in the village of Pontiac $700 in hay, 
and raised 30 acres of wheat and a number of acres spring 
crops ; raise annually from thirty to sixty-five acres of wheat; 
have a large orchard of grafted fruit; a good plain frame house, 
two wells water, two large barns, ox stable, two hay sheds, log 
barn with shingle roof. Farm situated five miles north-east ot 
Pontiac, and half way between tho villages of Pontiac and 
Rochester. 
Terms, $30 per acre, $1,000 down, the balance may be ex¬ 
tended over five years in easy payments. The above terms are 
not absolute, excepting the price. Should prefer to sell stock 
and tools with farm. There is not a farm of equal value in this 
section can be bought for much less than $40 per acre. For

ARTIFICIAL EYES. 
Artificial Eyes are inserted by Dr. KNAPP, Oculist, at 
No. 140 Main St., Buffalo, N. Y. They move in harmony with 
the natural eye—exactly resemble it in color and expression— 
and are inserted without an operation, or any pain. I h ive 
colors, and sizes, adapted to different ages and sexes. Tar 
effect of an Artificial Eye is to instantly transform the couirtt- 
nance to a natural expression, and causes the individual to 
look several years younger. Persons who have recently list au 
Eye, or any young person without one, should obtain aa Arti¬ 
ficial immediately, as by delay the lids are liable to contract. 
Dr. K. proposes to visit tho following points at the time 
designated, for the convenience of those interested: 
Rochester, N. Y. at Eagle Hotel, August 23. 
Portage, “ “ American Hotel, Sept. 2.

THE INDEPENDENT, 
A (RELIGIOUS FAMILY NEWSPAPER. 
CIRCULATION OVER 25,000 ?! ! 
And Rapidly Increasing. 
That no other weekly religious newspaper ever met with 
tho succes of The Independent must now bo universally admit¬ 
ted. It has been the aim of the proprietors, without regard to 
expense, to make it rank in point of talent as high as the best 
journal of a similar character in the world ; and to make it 
popular only so far as this could be done by treading boldly 
and firmly in the path of Christian duty—“not as pleasing 
men, but Cod.” 
A crisis has arrived when every Christian is called upon to 
ask, “ Lord what wilt thou have me to do” in a conflict for 
principle and human rights as great as tho world has ever seen. 
No voice can now be silent with impunity. If the religious 
press or Christian men now refuse either to speak or to act, the 
very stones will cry out for Heaven's sorest judgments, and we 
snail be left as a nation to fill up the measure of our iniquity. 
Now is tho time to prove who are the true lovers of liberty, 
and to demonstrate who are the worthy descendents of the la¬ 
thers of the Revolution, who were willing to lay down their 
lives to secure for this fair country an inheritance of freedom. 
The Independent will enter the field,side by side with all who 
desire to do battle for truth, justice and humanity. With all tho 
power Cod may give it, it will urge the Christian public to do 
with their might what their hands find to do to save our be¬ 
loved country from the death-grasp o£ Slavery. It will advo¬ 
cate freedom of speech, freedom of the press, free soil, free 
men, and-Fre-mont for tho next President. Those who 
think a religious paper should not thus freely join with tho 
secular press in doing this extraordinary work, are informed 
that the matter has been calmly considered, the cost counted, 
and the conclusion deliberately and conscientiously arrived at, 
that duty to God and man precludes a moment’s hesitation as 
to the course which ought to be taken by this paper. Those 
who sympathize with it, of every name and party, and they 
are thousands, will aid the cause by doing all they can to ex¬ 
tend its circulation. 
Those unacquainted with The Independent are informed that 
the paper will furnish articles weekly as follows: 
1st. Religious Editorials, Selections, and current Religious 
News. 
2d. Editorials discussing the great Moral and Political 
Questions of the day. 
3d. Communications from regular weekly contributors, em¬ 
bracing every variety of topic suited to a Christian family—to 
, l e living, not to the dead. 
4th. foreign and Domestic Correspondence. 
5th. Reviews and Special Articles on important topics by the 
ablest living writers. 
6 th. An Article on Agriculture, embracing information 
from all parts of the country in relation to the condition of tho 
crops. 
7th, A Review of thfNew York Cattle and Produce markets. 
8 th. A Price Curreit, carefully corrected weekly. 
9th. A Commercial and Financial Article, embracing topics 
suited especially to business life, and containing all the impor¬ 
tant news of the diy, including a List of Failures from nil 
parts of the country. 
lfilh. Poetry, Religious Items, Reports of Public Meetings, 
Book-notices and Reviews, and other matters interesting to 
the reading public.

HOT WATER WARMING APPARATUS. 
FOK GREEN HOUSES. 
The Subscribers have, at a large jxpense, perfected an ap¬ 
paratus for effectually Warming Green Houses, however 
large, in the severest weather, and with the most economical 
consumption of fuel. Fully award of the difficulties which 
Florists and Horticulturists have experienced in their vain en¬ 
deavors to prevent their Plants from freezing on account of 
the imperfect modes of warming now much in use, we have ta¬ 
ken the trouble to give our apparatus a fair test during the 
past winter, (as the following testimonial will show,) and with 
the most satisfactory results. We shall be happy to send, by 
mail, estimates for putting up our apparatus, to all who will 
send us drawings showing ground plan of their Green Houses. 
CHAPIN, TREADWELL A CO. 
Springfield, Mass 24, 1656. 
We take pleasure in recommending, unqualifiedly to the 
public, the Warming Apparatus referred to above by Messrs. 
Chapin, Treadwell A Co. We consider it perfect for the 
purpose designed, and have warmed our Green Houses in this 
manner during the past severe winter, having no trouble in 
keeping the houses as warm as we desired, while the ther¬ 
mometer ranged from 15 to 24 degrees below zero outside, and 
the fuel consumed, has been less than that required any previ¬ 
ous season. B. K. BLISS A HAVEN.

COMBINED REAPER AND MOWER. 
MANNY PATENT WITH 
WOOD'S IMPROVEMENT. 
FOR THE HARVEST OF 1856. 
In ealling the attention of farmers to my Machine, for the 
coming harvest, I take great pleasure in speaking ot Its sun 
increased merits over any previous year’s manufacture, and 
in recommending it as now improved and perfected as being a 
Combined Reaper and Mower, adapted in every respect to tne 
wants of farmers who have use for such an implement. _ 
I have so shortened the rear part of the platform and frame 
as to make the delivery easy. The reel post on the left side ot 
the machine is made higher, the wing board wider and longer, 
and have put in internal gear. The raising lever islengthened, 
and the driver’s seat set further back, which so balances the 
machine as to rid the horses of all weight upon their necks— 
aud I have the utmost confidence in recommending it as tne 
best Combined Reaper and Mower in use.
