" - work.- It is now out. The first (July) number
reached us last week. From the" most de‘li'b’t'i°'-
ate a/ttention we have been able to give it, we
are pleased to say it has a most hearty welcome.
.It takes a position not before occupied, and one
ivliicli, iftlie design and promise are followed
_out, will ensttre the work a successful carcer.——
The design embraces rt doub'e purpose.‘ as the
name implies—the first, The Farmers‘ Library

‘extant, and the sccontl,—'l‘lie 0l0llilIly Journal,
‘embraces all iliat is _transpiring in the present
agriculfural world.‘ The Editor isJoi.n S Skin-,i Broad st. from Stone to the pitblic stores
her, already known in his former connections
with works on agriculture. His talent and ca-
pacity for his station, are sufiiciently shown in
the number before us, to leave. no ground for
C0l'll[)iull'JI on this point.

Dnouctir.-—\Veliave no change to record in .
the unusual and oppressive drought that prevails
around us. \Ve sa_v this in the face of a little
sliower that fell just liernabotits on Monday mor-
ning. It was too slight to affortl relief, and ditl
not extend to \Vilton. The unripe crops are stif-
fering seriously, and little is expected, unless
rain comes speedily, but that they will fail either
in part, or utterly. Our “oldest inhabitant” has
seen nothing that equals our present condition.
The manufacturing and grist mills have suspen-
ded, and from the prospect now, must continue
so for some time. Saturday and Sunday‘ raised
our hopes a little, but Monday brought us back
to the same notch ofintolerable heat and s_moth-
ering dust, from which we earnestly looked for a
little relief.
P. S. A refreshing shower fell on Tuesday
morning, much to.tlie reliefof vegetation.

was present, as far as we have heard,
dttced the utmost consternation through-.
of this paper seemed as if topling to its
base. The printers’ sticl-s were thrown
from their hands; and the gas lights sud
denly extinguished in a part of the buil-
ding, added to the terror and confusion of
\Ve expericiiced_,-"_n0' damage
ho\v'ever, except in the breaking of win-
dow glass. Nearly every .building in \Vztll,
to the burnt district, had its windowsmore
or less injured, and in some instances
wholz.-: sashes were dashed in, and the
large massive doors of the stores either
swung open, or were detached wholly
from hinge and bolt, and thrown into the
center of the buildings. -Such was the
effect: of the explosion on the Mercliant’s
Exchange, as to burst in the windows,
brealtingdarge quantities oftlie thickest
plate glass. Even the interior doors were
burst open.
The explosion occurred in successive
shocks, previous to which the atmos-
phere was irradiated with brilliant flashes
of lig.ht tinged with every variety ofcolor.
The air was immediately after filled with
balls of fire and burning beams, some of
which of huge size were thrown to an in-
credible lieight and distance.
The explosion was heard on board the
steamboat Champion while seven miles
from the city, and startled the passengers
from their berths. It wnsalso heard at
ll-lempsteatl and at Newark. Capt. York,
ofthc brig lllilttiii. tts well as the captain
and passengers of the bt'if_,r Savannah, offs
the kliglilatitl, heard the report and felt at
concussion.
The dry good jobbers escaped almost
sttfiered severel_v,and several large stocks
offoreign triatittfacttircs were destro_ved.—-
'l'he wboledoss of dry goods was perhaps
two millions and :1 half of doll:trs.
fol-lowing is a rough statement, in round
numbers, of some of the stocks destroyed.

This estimate is, we fear, quite with-
in the truth.
The whole quantity of goods was but a
fraction of the entire stocks of the city
and will not interfere at all with the full
supply of all the demands of trade.
It will be understood that the losses by
the various insurance companies do not
extend necessarily to the amount of their
policies. In general it is mtich less, and
the universal opinion seems to be that all
the insurance is good with perhaps the ex-
ception of one office. There was a good
deal of insurance in ofliees out of the city
so that our.merchants were in general ful-
ly insured, and will find their policies on
the occasion an adequate security. _ _

A T a Court of Probate holdeu at Norwalk in

day ofJuly 18-15,—estate of
James W. Hyatt, 8' George II. Barnum,
insolvent debtors, both of said Norwalk, (and
constituting the late partnersliip firui of -lauies
W. llyatt 56 Co.) assi-_;ned in trust for the benefit
ofthe creditors ofsucli partnership, and for the
benefit ofilie creditors of each of the members
tlit-rcofiiforesaid——
ttpon the very small amottrit of money
which it costs in Connecticut to maintain,,
probably the best, the freest, and in some
i'espects the most coinpletely llepttblieau
Gov’t. in the world. 'l'lie population ofthat ~
state is about 3-i-0,0_00,aii<l the whole expen-
ses oftlie goveriiii‘.ent are only :’$S».l,359,in-
cluding the charge for State pnupers, mi-
This amount of ex-
pendiature has rcmaiiicdsieady at about
that sum for 21 long number of years, va-
rying very little from it one way or the
other, for at least as far back as the last
war with Great Britain. Now, of this
money, 10,000 was derived last year from
the State Prison, anti $20,000 from Batik
dividends; leaving only $40,130 to be col-
lected in taxes.——N. Y. Cour. Eng.
From J\"ew ZculumI.—Tlie New Bedford
lllercttry states, on the authority ofa letter
from captain Howlaiid, oftlie ship London
Packet, of Fairliaven, dated Bay oflslands
New Zealand, March 13th, that the natives
of New Zealautl had risen upon the Eng-
lish inhabitants of the Bay of Islands and
completely pvcrpowcred them. On the
13th of March a battle was fought between
the Englisli and natives, in which the for-
mer sustained a loss of twenty to thirty
killed, and agreat many wounded. The
English fled to the vessels in port, leaving
the town in possession of the natives, who
soon reduced it to ashes.
Trouble in the Camp.-—We have several
letters frotn \Vashington, which refer to a
gaievous misunderstanding between Mr‘.
Buchanan, Secretary of State, and Mr. T.
Hartley Crawford, Commissioner of Indian
Affairs- It seems that Mr. B. (if our in-
formants are correct, and they agree in
most points,) directed Mr. C. to find a place
in his Bureau for an applicant, but would
spare himself the unpleasantfofiice of des-
ignating the victim to be displaced. Mr.
C. was willing to tippoint,but. requirei that
Mr. B. should fname the person to be dis-
missed. The message was - taken back
with some additional force of expression,
and the messenger was made to swear to
the statement. 'l"his, it is said, forms the
ground work of a complaintito the Presi-
dent, and Mr. Crawford is likely to loose
his place.—- U. S. Gaz.
