Arrival of the Baltic. 
Almost tlie only intelligence brought by the 
Baltic is that Saragossa and the whole of Spain 
are prostrate before O’Donnell, and that matters 
are quite unchanged in our advices from other 
parts of Europe. 
A letter says that the Austrian Government 
is alarmed at the attitude which Sardinia as¬ 
sumes towards it in Italy, and has begged the 
French Government to represent to the latter, 
that, in order to preserve the tranquility of 
Europe, a change of its policy would be desira¬ 
ble. The French Government has accordingly 
made a communication of a confidential charac¬ 
ter to Sardinia, hinting that she might assume 
a less hostile attitude and tone towards Aus¬ 
tria, without lessening the influence she exer¬ 
cises in Italy. 
Reports are current that the Emperor of the 
French is in a really critical state of health.— 
His illness consists in a development of the 
malady of the spine, with which he has long 
been afflicted. He is able to attend to busi¬ 
ness, and is not in immediate danger. 
Marshal Pelissier and suit arrived at Marseil¬ 
les on the 1st iust. On landing the Marshal 
found awaiting him a letter from the Emperor, 
conferring on him the title of Duke. 
Advices from Constantinople of 28th ult., 
mention that the city will be entirely evacuated 
by the allies, and the hospitals restored to the 
Turkish authorities by the 15th of the present 
month. 
Horrible Massacre at Barcelona.— All the 
details that reach us of the proceedings at Bar¬ 
celona concur in representing the fighting as 
desperate, and the conduct of the Queen’s 
troops after all resistance had ceased, as feroci¬ 
ous in the extreme. On the 24th. for instance, 
three days after the fighting had ceased in the 
city, two battalions of National Guards, arriv¬ 
ing to the assistance of the citizens, were met 
in the plain by the Queen’s cavalry, and every 
man of them cut to pieces ! Seventeen Indi¬ 
viduals engaged in the insurrection at Barcelo¬ 
na have been shot. They are executed three 
by three. 
Austria.— The Emperor left Vienna on the 
29th for Toplitz, where he would meet the 
King of Prussia. 
The prices of wheat, rye, barley, and oats 
have fallen very considerably in all parts of the 
Empire, from which we may infer that there 
has been a good average throughout Austria. 
Commercial Intelligence.— Richardson, Brothers & 
Co.’s Circular, dated Liverpool, Aug. 8, says Since our 
last, we have had a continuance of splendid weather ; it is 
said by well informed parties that such a continuance of 
heat has not been known for more than thirty years ; at 
noon, for several dayp, the thermometer lias stood at 84 to 
86 deg., and at 8 P. M., from 70 to 77 deg. in the shade. 
With such weather, the crops are being rapidly forced to 
maturity. We hear that the ear is generally well filled, 
and a prospect of a heavy crop of all the cereals. The 
spring-sown wheat is especially well reported of. The 
consequence of the above is a total stagnation in the trade. 
Excepting some retail sales of flour to bakers, little has 
been done since last market. 
(Mifantia fnMIigcno. 
Arrival of the Steamer Alps. 
The Alps, with late dates froni'California ar¬ 
rived at New York on the 14th inst. 
The Vigilance Committee still retained con¬ 
trol. Judge Terry was still in their hands; 
but it was thought that he would not be exe¬ 
cuted. Several new arrests and shipments of 
suspected rogues had been made by the Com¬ 
mittee. 
Very destructive fires had occurred, where¬ 
by Placerville, Nevada and Georgetown were 
ravaged almost to annihilation. The loss of 
Nevada is stated between two and three mil¬ 
lions. Nearly two hundred buildings were 
destroyed at Placerville, and the loss was esti¬ 
mated at $1,000,000. The loss at Georgetown 
was estimated at $1,000,000. A large fire as 
also taken place at Marysville ; loss $160,000. 
The Alta California of Julj> 21st says, we 
learn from Grass Valley, that a fire broke out 
on Saturday afternoon in the rear of Dr. Albans 
Fire-proof building on Pine street, which swept 
to the adjoining building occupied as a brewery, 
and then spread across to the U. S. Hotel, and 
downwards and upwards with great rapidity, 
taking the whole of Broad street. Main street, 
and all the cross streets, consuming all the Ex¬ 
press Offices and Banking Houses and Churches, 
the new Court House and County Recorder’s 
Office, Stores, etc. 
The only buildings that have escaped are 
Dr. Alban’s apothecary store, Dr. Scott’s do., 
and two or three others. 
The persons burned to death as far as known, 
are A. J. Hager, J. Johnson, P. Hendrixson, S. 
W. Fletcher, W. Anderson, W. Wilson. The 
loss is variously estimated at from $2,000,000 
to $3,000,000. 
On the 12th, the town of Fair Play, El Do¬ 
rado county, was burned, involving a loss of 
about $70,000. 
The miners are prosperous, except for lack 
of water. The first returns of the grain harvest 
are coming in. It is believed that the crops of 
this year will be larger than those of any pre¬ 
vious year. The quality of the grain is ex¬ 
cellent. 
Business is moderately good. There is a fair 
interior trade, and the supply is ample. 
Arrival of the Daniel Webster. 
The steamer Daniel Webster arrived at New 
Orleans on the 14th inst., from San Juan, with 
California dates to the 21st. The news from 
Central America is measrer. Gen. Rivas holds 
Leon against General Walker, in conjunction 
with the Gautamalians, and were fortifying it 
with a force of 3,000 men. Gen. Walker was 
soon to attack it with an effective force of 1,000 
troops. 
Costa Rica was preparing for another inva¬ 
sion of Nicaragua. Gen. Mora had put down 
the revolution against him, but was to resign. 
A fleet of seven British ships, mounting 180 
guns, was in the harbor of San Juan, under 
command of Admiral Erstine. 
The British screw steamer Panama had been 
wrecked near Cape Temor. The crew were 
saved. The vessel was a total loss. 
From Havana. —The steamer Gov. Dudley 
arrived at Charleston on the 14th inst., with 
Havana dates to the 10th, and Key West to the 
11th inst. The yellow fever was still raging at 
Havana. Sugars unchanged. Holders very firm. 
Losses of the French Army in the Cri¬ 
mea. —The Moniteur publishes a complete list 
of the losses of the French army in the East, 
which, it states, is compiled from returns sent 
to the War Department. The list includes all 
losses, from the disembarkation of the troops in 
Turkey to the signing of the treaty of peace in 
Paris. The return includes the several staff 
and health officers, and the almoners and pas¬ 
tors attached to the expedition. The results 
are as follows: 
General Staff Officers. 14 
Staff Officers. 20 
Military Intendents_ 5 
Officers_ 1,284 
Non-Commissioned Officers.. 4,402 
Privates. 56,805 
A most formidable list of killed. The wound¬ 
ed are not mentioned, but it is considerably 
less than has generally been represented. Nev¬ 
er before since the game of war began was 
there so terrible a slaughter for such trifling 
cause, and with so small a gain. 
gtafljs. 
In this city, on Wednesday morning Aug. 13th, Mrs. ELMIRA 
A., wife of O. S. Benjamin, of this city, and daughter of Hen¬ 
ry .Newcomb, of Charlotte, aged 18 years, 4 months and 6 days.

stagnant.

MRS. STOWE’S NEW NOVEL! 
On the First of September, -we shall publish 
13 XL 3D X3 1 
A T.VLiE OF TI1E GREAT DISMAL SWAMP. 
BY HARRIET BEECHER STOWE, 
Author of “ Uncle Tom's Cabin,” etc., etc. 
In 2 Volumes, 12mo. Price $1 75. 
No apology is necessary for the announcement of another 
ANTI-SLAVERY NOVEL, 
from the author whose former book made so profound an im¬ 
pression in this country, aud whose fame is now co-extensive 
with civilization. 
The present work is pronounced, by those who have read it, 
superior to “ Uncle Tom,” in breadth of conception, in devel¬ 
opment of character aud principles, and in the overwhelming 
power and interest of the story. 
The contest between the im-titutions of Freedom and of Des¬ 
potism is approaching a crisis; no man or woman can be 
indifferent as to the issue ; and a work like this, which shows 
the legitimate fruits of American Slavery under the laws, can¬ 
not but excite great and universal interest,

KEDZIE’S ILYIN WATER FILTERS, 
MANUFACTURED BY j. E. CHENEY A CO., ROCHESTER, N. Y. 
These celebrated Filters have been fully 
tested for many years in almost every State 
in the Union, and the demand is constantly 
increasing. There are five sizes, made of 
oak, iron-bound tubs, with reservoirs inside, 
from which can he drawn about 100 gallons 
in twenty-four hours, for all domestic uses. 
The most impure Rain, River or Lake 
water by this means becomes pure, clear as 
crystal, and without taste or smell. In this 
condition only is water fit for family purpos¬ 
es, as a means of promoting the general 
health, and as a preventive of cholera, and 
other diseases incurred by the use of impure water. 
They are portable, durable and cheap, and are not excelled 
by any other filter known. Address

HOT WATER WARMING APPARATUS. 
FOR GREEN HOUSES. 
The Subscribers have, at a large expense, perfected an ap¬ 
paratus for effectually Warming Green Houses, however 
large, in the severest weather, and with the most economical 
consumption of fuel. Fully aware 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.

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 anv previ¬

FOR THE HARVEST OF 1856. 
In calling the attention of farmers to my Machine, for the 
coming harvest, I take great pleasure in speaking of its still 
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 the 
wants of fanners 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 of 
the machine is made higher, the wing board wider and longer, 
and have put in internal gear. The raising lever is lengthened, 
and the driver’s seat set further back, which so balances the 
machine as to rid the horses of all weight upon their necks— 
and I have the utmost confidence in recommending it as the 
best Combined Reaper aud Mower in use. 
Warranted capable of cutting in a workmanlike manner 
from 10 to 15 acres of Grass or Grain per day. 
My terms are the same as heretofore. For the Combined 
Machine, delivered here on board cars $125. For the fcnngle
