The WEATHER AND CRoPs.-Since our
last issue, we have been favored with some
delightful showers Of rain, which have en-
lirencd greatly the appearance Of vegetation.
The rains, we understand, have been pretty
general through the District. Much of the
corn crop, we apprehcnd, was too far ex-
hausted to be benefited to any considerable
extent 1t is believed that with fair seasons
from this out and n late Fall, the cotton
crop may be an average one.

Two days were passed very agreeably
IN Philadelphia. The first place of interest
visited, was independence Hall, or the old
State House From its historical assoca-
tons and venerable appearance, it is neve r
passed by, and besides is so easy of access
being on the grand ominade-Chesnut
street. The Hall in which the Declaration
of Independence was declared by Congress
remains the same However it is to be re-
gretted that the original furniture has been
removed. The men of that day did not
.hink with what interest such matters
would be cared for by their succeeding gem
erations The Hall is adorned with the
portraits of a number of the signers of the
Declaration of Independence. II is desired
that all should appear, but I suppose there
are many of that noble band, whose portraits
were not taken and whose gallant features
