THE WEATHER.-The heavy rains that We hay,
enjoyed latterly seem 10 have dispelled th,
clouds and have cooled the atmosphere considera
bly. July made her congo graciously, retiring il
perfect blaze Of beauty. In the morning there
was scarcely speck to stain the azure heaven
line glorious orb of day, in pity to par-boile6
condition, yelled somewhat his fiery spendor
Shirt collars preserved thsr dignity, in spite OF
long hot walk, and though items we're scarce, yet
the streets were by no means empty. Coup d.
soltel was not dreamed of, aud reporters and To-
calls walked boldly in the "ragng noon" and
feared no evil, for they had borrowed an um-
brella.
UNITED STATES DISTRICT CoURT.-This court
was in session yesterday, but no business OF much
Importance transacted. An Admiralty case
was called, but further hearing postponed to some
future day.

tisement in to-day's paper of Messrs MACBETH g.

DARING sRoBBERY.-A gentleman residing in
Wentworth, near King street, while taking COM
Portable "siestan yesterday afternoon between the
hours Of three and four O'Clock, was robbed of
very valuable gold watch and chain worth about
$500. The thief was bold and dexterous adept,
and our friend awoke from the pleasures of dreams
land 10 realize his heavy loss. a..a II e.
ED1ToRIAL VIsIT.-We had the pleasure of
seeing In our sanotun last night Mr.. MOORE, Of
Augusta, the Editor of the Chronicle d Sentinel
MIR. III. is looking fine and hearty, and we cannot
but congratulate him upon tho prosperity OF his
capital paper The Chronicle G. Sentinelis really
one OF the best papers in the Southern country
and evinces, in its editorial department, the
genius and spirit of able and thorough prac-
ticed editor. t-.r
THEFT.-Mr. ScHIRMER, Assistant Clerk in the
Market, and Inspector Of Weights and Measures.
met with severe loss few days since. He had
just stepped out OF his Office leaving his pocket
book, containing between 5000 and $500 and some
papers, on his table. Upon his return the pocket
book was minus, and he has not succeeded in
tracing the theft to any party. The only person
who was seen to pass the ofiice was man with
some fowls, and it is supposed that seeing tho
portmonnaie through tho window, he had made
love to it and flown away.
ESCAPED FROM JAIL.-One GEO. W. Qu1MBY, an
ex-oficer Of the United statos army, escaped from
Jail on the evening OF the 30th, by passing the
guards, they supposing him still to be an officer.
These escapes have been very frequent lately.
The prisoners appear to be allowed certain lax
ness that they improve on; they exemplify the old
adage admirably, "give them an inch and they
take an ell" In the present instance, it appears
that the prisoner allowed to walk around the
city with some of the jail officials, and has appar-
emily walked off. Such occurrences are Disgrace
full and their repetition does not add to their
SAVIOR.
NEW ACADEMY.-1t will be seen from our ad
vertisng columns, that the Rev. DR.. MYERS, of
London. will soon open frst-class school in our
city. Tho high testimonials which tho Rev. gen.
tleman brings, and his weilknown character and
attainments, enable us to call the attention OF
parents to his institution, with confidence in the
ability of the Rev. gentleman to impart sound
education Mr.. MYERS is thorough Hebrew
scholar, and accustomed to teach this and other
branches. We would call particular notice to the
bookkeeping department. This Is new feature
in a general school, and one of the greatest i'm
portance.
