THE rcceDt unusual warm weather Is having
-.tber an unfavorable effect upon business, and
I notice that trade is not so brisk for day or
4wo,att 4 great many mercantile strangers,
who arrive, prefer a ride down the sea snote'
ether at Cape May OF Atlantic city, to the
swelterine heat Of the thorUughtares OF trade.
Indeed to-day Is enough to mike any one leel
uncomfortable to look at Gall and winter goods,
when the thermometer is 30 in the shade ana
..ndino UPWARDS. Yesterday was the hottest
day Of the present season. The most sunny
stsrcLetl ,Iickcys had to succumb the thermom-
eter marking DC degrees in the shade. SaouH
the present weather continue for a week, the

a rcpor, was current yesterday that duck,
containing six boiled aggs, had been shot at
smith,s Island. If the story lacks confirmation
however. the heat doesn't even the oldest ln-
habitant agreeing that the present weather is
more highly charged with caloric than any re
have had for many years.
To-day thcro has been quite stir among the
Catholic portion Of the city, and the churches
have all held services, celebrating the feast q
the Assumption" a believe il is called. Inc
origin and objects Of the OCCASION have found T!
qFsIIJPedifhc Assumption of the Blessed Vir-
gin is the greatest of all hel. feaSts. On this
day We honor her happy death, which, after that
Of her Divine Son, was, above all, the most holy
aud most precious in the sight Of the Lord
We also commemorate her glorious ascension
into Heaven, where she is elevated above angels
and arclangcls, with special claim to our
homages, and a,ylcntIy desires to promote our
real interests.
The result Of the Missouri election has pro-
duccd no small surprise here and is general
subject of congratulatiOn among most Of those
whom have heard converse upon the matter.
Intelligent gentlemen from different parts of the
south west, tell me that they look upon it as
settling the claims Of St Lonis, as to being the
great cntrepOt Of the Union. Real estate, they
predict, will advance largely Immediately, and
the emigration TO the State, within tho coming
year, will be larger; than to any Hother State in
the Union. Missouri and Virginia now absorb
more attention here, and further east, than any
two States in the Union. Those who contem'
plate emigration are reading up and inqnring
about Ill the characteristics of each. have
been put to my utmost stretch Of memory at
times, in detailing out the advantages which
the western portion of Virginia affords to settlers
1 think there win be quito large aud unusu-
ally respectable emigration to Virginia this
fall. Most of the people prefer Virginia to any
other State, where the advantages arc any where.
near equal All these movements come of the
cccnt symptoms in favor Of free white labor in
hcsc two States, aud the constantly and firmly
Increasing determination of white laboFing men
o throw of the Calling yoke Of niggerites who
would sacrifice the interests of tho million for
he benefit Of few.
Pennsylvania politics attract very little attcu-
ion here. 1t is generally thought that Mr..
'acker, the Democratic candidate. will be elect
d, owing 10 the quarrels among the opposition.
Yilmot is not popular among his friends, while
Packer is, and is also well spoken of by his op-
,onents. The Americans, who hold the game in I
heir hands, seem bent upon voting their own
icket, although but the smallest hope Of itA sue
,css is possible. Thus it goes; many men have
many minds. u
