The WEATHER.-The early portion of yesterday
being cloudy, the heat less intense than it has
been for some time, but by twelve o'clock the sun
came out as fiery as ever, and up to five O'Clock
1t was very oppressive. At that hour, however
clouds again began to come up, followed by rain
with lightning and thunder, which gave us for the
balance OF the evening most delightful atmos-
phere.
The CRoPs.-Our friends in the interior will
confer great favor by sending us reports of the
growing crops in their different neighborhoods.
lime AND TIDE WAIT FOR NO MAN therefore
people who wish to enjoy the wholesome luxury of
salt water bath, must go at the time when the
tide suits. Mr. KILRoY, the enterprisine pre-
prletor OF the White Point or Battery Bathing
House, gives daily notice in this paper of the time
at which the tide suits for bathing at his cstab-
lishment To-day it is between and "a. NJ.
and and P. NJ; and as, at either of those
times, parties patrouizng the baths can enjoy the
walk to and from, as well rs OH the Battery, tho
tide will suit better for trial of the virtues
of the water of Charleston harbor than it does to-
day.
MAYORS Court, July 25.-A cloudy-minded gen.
teman who resides, as he said, in Tradd street.
but made mistake and entered a house as his in
Queen street, with brick in each hand and one
In his hat, threa atening to demoish the whole in
terror, was brought before his Honor and fined
$5, with hint to be careful hereafter of getting

Two damsels, rather pretty and genteel
rls lat tba for
in the streets unsuitable for the ears of anybody
whether polite or not. The Mayor fined them SIS
each, which it is supposed will be as hard to get
out of them it would be to obtain genteel con-
versation.
LITERARY ToYs.-We are indebted to Messrs
N. NJ. QUINN & BROTHER for a sample magic fan,
and for copy of beautiful edition Of Mother
Hubbard. The fan is one Of the simplest and vet
most ingenious contrivances for producing Won
der and amusement which has ever been invent
cd. 1t is plain peace OF stiff brown paper folded
in such way that by skilful manipulation it can
be made to undergo no less than eighty meta
morphoses in an almost incredibly short space of
time. Accompanying the fan is q neatly engrav-
ed diagram illustrating the protean changes
which it may assume, and the manner Of exc
cutting them.
The history OF "Mother Hubbard's Dog" ia got
up in magnificent style, and is from the press of
MCLAUGHLIN BRos., New York. The edition is a
beautifully illustrated quarto, in which large COL
ored engravings represent'the said dog in all the
glory OF green coat, purple waistcoat, red pants
and hob-nail shoes. 1t may or may not be Just
to hold this canine celebrity up to ridicule but we
are on the negative side Of the question, for the
following verse shows him to have been quadru-
ped Of taste and jud sment:
"She went to tho cobbler's
To fuy h IN shoes,
And when ehe came back
He was reading He NEWS"
