BALTIMORE, June 29th, 1851.
Ne have had what may be called decidedly hot
weather In the past two days, the Thermometer
ranging ct so up to ~ degrees In the shade. The
heat has been 80 great as 10 materially interrupt
business. Being, however, 50 close upon the great
national holiday, there Is not much inclination to
enter largely into exhaustive trade operations until
that event Il over. The Corn and Flour Exchange
will adjourn on Friday and take recess until the
9Th OF July. The Stock Board purposes doing the
same thing. As there wiil-counting Sunday
be two holidays together, very many Of our citi-
ions viii seek various Par,s Of the surrounding
country and enjoy rural life for \ few days. 4
goodly number are getting ready tS visit the diff
ferent watering places. Numerous excursions by
both land and water are advertised which are
likely TO be largely Patronized. Pen Mar aud
High Rock on the Western Maryland Railroad
always popular resorts-will be crowded no doubt
There are 20 be various excursions 70 different
points on the Chesapeake Bay. All business will
be suspended In Baltimore for the day, and there
being no regular celebration by the authorities. Il
10 quite likely the city will be very quiet and al
most deserted: The shooting Of dre-eraekers aud
the use Of all kinds Of works being prohibited
BY Law In view Of preventing accidents and fires,
the boys cannot have their old time fun on that
jubilee. This pEccaution has-very wisely-be-
come necessity. Already the GEOGRAPHICALLY

y Commissionsrs have given notice that there
shall be no displays Of fireworks on the 9Th, yet
very little attention 10 given thereto. The city
boys, knowing this fact, make the suburbs grand
resort, and confusion Is worse eonfounded with
their terrible noise regardless Of consequence. IL
would DO well, therefore, TO keep good look .ous
Tor conhagrations, especially a. the city Gre de-
partsnt refuses 10 send It's apparatus 20 aid their
