BALTIMORE, June %, 1s53-6P.M.
We have had excessively hot weather during
the past four days. The thermometer ranged from
Sc to 95 degrees in the shade. Notwithstanding
this intense heat good health prevails. Some five
or six persons, mostly laborers, died suddenly from
the very impmdent use of cold water when over
heated. Whilst write the thermometer in my
Office, very cool room in the Sun Iron building,
registers 81 degrees above Zero. There are some
grateful clouds, however, which indicate the ap-
proach of rama thing much needed.
The rather discordant elements of the several
factions of the Democratic party came together
last night in city convention, and after hot, excl
ted session, lasting until one o. clock this morning
succeeded in electing delegates to the State Dem
ocratic Convention favorable TO the nomination o.
Walter Mitchell, Esq, as their candidate for Gov.
ernor. Mr.. Mitchell Is of Charles county.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad stock is still
depressed under the influence of the Bears, who
taking advantage of certain circumstances have
managed 10 get it down. Sales to-day at 693a70
which is decline of $50 per share since the open
ing of the Road to Wheeling. As have said be-
FORE there is no substantial cause for this depre
citation. 1t is artificial. Some of our Speculation:
who bought largely, have, in order to meet othel
demands pressing them, been obliged 10 force sales
and thus the market becomes overstocked. One o.
them has failed and Others may be tightly rubbed.
The Road is doing large and rapidly increasing
business, and there is no tangible reason why the
stock should lie so greatly deprecated. My i'm
preston is it has nearly touched the lowest point
and it may take turn soon and go up as rapidly
as it came down.
regret to learn that three boys, sons of Walter
Bowie, Richard Millkin and Haswell Magruder,
of Prince Georges county, Maryland, were drown
ed on Monday last whilst bathing in the Patux-
ent river.
Quite large number of our citizens are going

general dullness in business.
