REVIEW OF THE
B ALTIM o RE NJ A Rk EFT,
(AND INCIDENTS CONNECTED THEREWlTHO
For the Week ending last eUening.


REMARKS general business of the market
has been a very limited scale, and we have
ly an indication favorable for an improvement for
some time to come. Since we last referred to the
cool and uncomfortable weather, two weeks
ago, we have had summer upon seasonably and
atmosphericaly; the preceding week particularly
was insuiferably warm, and part of the present
now passing has also been sufficiently so but towards
the close is pleasant, from a copious shower
which visited US on Thursday and Thursday night
But, besides this agreeable change from exceeding
warm to refreshingly cool weather, our city remains
healthy; and although surrounded by that
dreadful scourge the cholera, it has pleased kind
Providence yet to pass city over, and not
permit the pestience to within our dwellings.
A Geographic DESPATCH received by the associated
press of this city yesterday afternoon reports the
steamer Hibernia arrived at Halifax on Wednesday
afternoon with Liverpool dates to 10Th inst, one
week later. Owing to the continued disturbed state
