The Weather and the Crops.

In Louisiama-From the Baton Rouge Gazette
OF the 2lst, we learn that,
in the last few days we have had occasional
showers which have done much to give the sugar
cane fine appearance. The corn, which had pre-
viously suffered, has also been much benefited,
but we fear that the yield will fall far short of the
reasonable expectations of the planters"
In Georgta-The Macon Journal and Messen-
ger of the 18th, says:
The drought which continued for several
weeks has at last terminated. From all of the sur
rounding counties we hear of genial showers. In
some sections they have had fine seasons, while in
others, there are still complaints that the rains have
not yet been sufficient. The weather is propitious
however, and we have strong hopes that the abors
Of the husbandman may be abundantly blessed.
The early corn and oats have been materially in
Jured. The gardens generally have been destroyed,
while the cotton crop has suffered to some extent,
but there is yet ample time for its recovery, pro-
Vded we have even an ordinary season."

The Union Column.

Last October we gave a description of the
column proposed to be erected on the Neutra
Ground, designed by Mr.. Freret, the present
Collector. An engraving has been made from the
plan, and it is really graceful shaft, with suitable
base and capital. 1t is intended to place the sta
tue of Mr.. Clay on the summit. Immediately

Of the Union Senator's The clock will be a great
public convenience it will be seen from every part
Of the city, and will become the standard of time
The column itself will be very ornamental. The
cost is estimated at 100000. We understand that
subscription papers will be circulated for the pur
pose of raising the necessary sum. With this
Union Column on the Neutral Ground, and the
Jackson Monument on the old Place d'Armes, our
city may well boast of its patronage of the Fine
Arts.
What has become Of the Statue of Franklin
Has the enthusiasm died with the distinguished
scholar who labored SO zealously in the cause of
Power? The fine arts lost a warm and efficient
l,;~-- she grave ofoseu on the remains OF r.
H. Wilde.
We never saw any peculiar appropriateness in
the subject Tor this city. Philadelphia ought to
order the Statue Of Franklin. New Orleans would
be the fitting place for the statue of Fulton.

american Interests in Niearagua.-The Hon
John Bozman Kerr, Charge to Nicaragua, with
his family, sailed from NewYork on Saturday the
18th inst, in the steamer Prometheus, for San
Juan de Nicaragua. In mentioning his departure,
the Journal Of Commerce says:
Mr.. Kerr, we learn from Washington, is to
inquire into the state of things affecting American
interests in Nicaragua. 1t is not yet determined
whether the contemplated treaty with Nicaragua
shall be made there or with Mr.. Marcoletta at
Washington.
The interests of American citizens at Nicaragua
have not suffered any detriment whatever, either
from the Government of Nicaragua or from the
British subjects or authorities.
This Government has every reason to believe
that the British Government will faithfully comply
with the stipulations Of the Clayton and Bulwer
convention; and, in due time, treaty not incon-
sistent with that convention will be made with the
Nicaraguan Government.
We learn further, that, though Greytown has
not yet been abandoned by British authorities, it
soon will be, and that, in the mean time, no duties
or other charges are there imposed on citizens
or their commerce.

That is nearly two-thirds of the income of the
four millions of agricultural proprietors are alb
sorbed by taxes and the interest debts, and the
twsnty millions Of persons composing their fami-
lies are reduced to an annual average expenditure
OF twenty-eight francs. This state of things is
growing worse daily, the number of mortgages
increasing. In 1S40 the whole number recorded
was SIS, 27S,000; in 1S47 it had risen to more
than 63O,545, 900.
No remedy has been proposed which meets the
evil. The lands must eventually be sold, and the

able huts, whose occupants are too poor to repair
the matched roof which lets in the cold and the
rain, or even to prop up the walls which threaten,
day after day, to fall into ruins.
! As there are few walls or fences around H.,
felds, and most of the propretors are too poor to
enclose with hedges, the farmer must either lose
altogether the aid Of his wife and children in field
labor, or submit to the most severe privatons. If
he keeps a few chickens, enc of his children must
keep them from the fields Of his neighbors. A pig
requires, Of course, constant watching; and a
horse, or cow is never let out to pasture, but it
is led out by the owner with halter around its
neck. II large pasture grounds were common,
each neighborhood might unite and pay some one
person for taking care of the horses, another for
the cows, third for the geese, fourth for the
smaller poultry, etc. But this is, in most cases,
impracticable-each one having his small plot of
grass for his own use. The necessary conse-
quence is diet almost purely vegetable, or the
loss of the labor of the younger members of the
family.

taken place among the New England manufac

We learn that the firm OF B. Sexton Il Co.
Warehouse Point, Connecticut, have been com.
PEELED to suspend payment owing to their losses
in manufacturing. They were largely engaged in
the manufacture of fancy cassimeres, and it is
stated their liabilities amount to 100000"
On the other hand some of the manufacturers
are extending their business. The Lowell Courier
says:
"The Hamilton Print Works ate at present ex-
tending their MEANS by an addijio to their dye-
house OF building fifty -four by sixty-seven, and
adding machinery in other departments for print
ing $4,000 yards more per week, 10000 of which
they expect to have additional by the LIST of Octo-
Der next They are now printing from eighty-five
to ninety thousand yards per week.
The New York Post of Saturday evening saws :;

bargains in grain outstanding, which will mature

Agricultural lnterests.-The Washington pa
pers say that the Navy Department, with view
to add to the agricultural interests of the country
has issued special instructions to the East India
Squadron to procure and send or bring home rare
plants and seeds, particularly Of the sugar cane
and tea-plant, adapted to our climate and soil, and
useful for domestic purposes. The increasing diff.
fculty experienced for the last two three years
in keeping good seed-canes for plants, has induced
many of the planters to try the introduction of
new varieties

Late from St. Crosg.-Dates to the 3lst ult.
have been received. The new Governor appointed
by the British Government was daily expected to
arrive by the British steamer, via st. Thomas,
from Copenhagen, when it was expected that an
important change in the laws, relative to the COL
ored population, would be made 1t will be borne
in mind that the blacks were to be emancpated, in
a measure, after October next; but in what man.
ner the new officer will arrange the matter is the
subject of much speculation.
On Sunday, 25th ult, new Roman Catholic
Church was consecrated by Bishop Monahan, the
Rev. L. E. Butler, P. p, through whose influence
and exertions, chiefly, it had been built, being in
attendance. The ceremony was grand and impo-
sing---the Governor and his Secretary, the COM
mandant of the fort, and other officials being in
attendance. At IL o'clock eleven guns were fred
from the fort in honor of the occasion.
Very heavy rain had prevailed from the LIST of
May to date. For nearly fortnight it was inces-
SAINT. This would probably retard the manufac-
ture of sugar from the dampness of the material
of which tits made. The prospects for the coming
year are nevertheless very good. New York
