From all accounts, Nature, of late,
has been unusually profuse of her cal
oric. In Providence, New York and
Boston, thermometers have ranged from
80 to 90 degrees. Even here, in the
coolest spot of New England, we have
felt the heat to IA degree almost unpre-
ccderted in the recollection of our old
est Inhabitants. But then the purity
of our atmosphere has enabled us to en-
dure the sun without much complaining,
We have always been able to find some
shady spot where we could catch pas
sing breeze-and at night, a cool air
has made ample ameuds for the enerva-
ting influence of the day.

ole of the Commonwealth.
We lay this morning before our Readers
the last draft of the Constitution, as II has
come out of the hands of the Select Com
mittee. 1t has been referred to the Com
mittce of the Whole, on the Constitution;
and this morning, it will probably come up
for discusslon.-Some difficulty has arisen
from the apportionment Of Delegates and
Senators, among the different counties. 1t
IS vet doubtful. whether the Convention
will 90 on to accomplish this difficult task,
or whether they willdevolye II upon the or
binary Legislature.
Several members Of the Convention are
of opinion that the Body viii be able to
complete its labors during the present week
and we should think that with due dill
gence, it may be done.
It is probable that the Constitution, now
laid before our readers. will receive some
modification, in one or two respects, before
it will be finally adopted.

Since our last paper the Convention
