TUESDAY Evening, Aug. ~.
Business is improving. Our streets and wharf
begin to assume lively appearance. The chol-
era having entirely disappeared from the city,
and the excitement it occasioned having &c: sed,
farmers bring their produce into market more
freely.
The Gather during the past week was intense
ly warm at mid-day-mornings and evenings
generally cool. Slight showers OF rain fell on
Sunday and Monday, accompanied by severe
thunder and lightning. The rain was INSULT
cient to cause any material alteration in the

gable condition for medium class steamers

change has taken place during the week in any
OF the leading articles Of groceries or produce

ringly, and 25a2Sc have been paid freely; quality
