The weather, durirg the teat week, generally, was quite warm and continued so until - Sunday evening; when the atmosphere underwent a con siderable change. There were Showers in the fore noon, and brief intervals of siMshine through the day; but soon after sundown the sk r becarne en tirely overcast; and vivid lightning ) was seen in almost every direction—folloWed, at about 0 o'- clock, with a very heavy fall Of ram and much wind. There were occasionally showers of rain until Monday afternoon, and a cool atmosphere: . On Tuesday the weather was; very cool ;—more pleasant on Wednesday and it is still becoming more seasonable. The wheat crop in onr immediate vicinity, from alt that we can hear, will not be more than an ave rage one. The prospect for spring, graM is good . and the prospect for most kinds of vegetables and fruit, as good as usual. The Springfield (Mass.) Gazette says, that from all quarters we receive cheering accounts of the prospect of an abundant harvest." The Boston Transcript, of the 10th, says: , i' From every quar ter we hear of the promising condition of the grow ing wheat crop. Occasionally there,is a note of complaint that the crop here !or them has been winter-killed ; but ;he news of the death is never confirmed. The truth is, thaOhe crops, as a gen eral thing, were never more promising." In NewlYork, the correspotident of the Tribune , suiting from Saratoga, June?lOtti, • The appearance of the crops is wuch better hereabout than Iliad expected from the kepresentations I had of the Spring drought. The late warm rains have reirebbed and ini igorated the vegetation of this section so much that the faimers now consider their prospects of a fair crop quite flattering. The glass crops have been peculiarly bene6tted by the late copious showers." _ And a Genesse county paper says: " Farming in this county is a touch infer business than in many_ portions of the state . While, the %%heat crop has been elsewhere either destroyed or greatly injured, the fields of this coun ty never looked more promising than at present. Our farmers may gather some consolation from the reflection that they have more wheat, stronger *ones, better cowe, and E m ar*r,nntl more healthy , . ~"-:,16,,0king child:en than can be found in all the .. re round about." "The Monmouth (New Jersey) Inquirer, informs .us that—"tbe earth will, this,year, yield her trea sures in great abundance. The grass on high ground, it is true will be shint, but then that on low ground will be full, if not alarge crop. From inquiry, and so far as our experience extends.(and we have, within a few days, bud n good opportuni- ty making observations concerning this matter,) the potato crop never gave more favorable promise. at this season of - the year. Wheat has unproved astonishingly within the last Vreek or tw•o. The same might be said of Rye ; and both now• bid fair fora good crop. -Oats, Corn; and all the various kinds of truck, present a most luxuriant aspect.— Peaches, in many f. ee t ions oft our County, we see and are told are very promising, and an average crop at this delicious fruit may be expected. Ap ples are not so fair—a small crop is anticipated." In our own State the occounte vary, in different sections of it. We expect to give them as they • appear. In Clearfield county, says the Banner, of June sth ;—"it is somewhat gratifying that we continue to have a very fair prospect of quite an abundant crop, not only of peaches, but of apples, cherries, plums, &c." The Lehigh Register says: —"The wheat crop is expected to be about an . -average one; the Rye crop his not been better for the last fifteen years; the fields were fairly amok-. ing as the blossoms flew off. ' Corn, potatoes, grass and oats all looking promiSing. Owing to the Vackwardness of the winter 'crops, and the expec tation of reaping but a poor harvest, stimulated farmers to the use of every inch of ground for summer crops, which will add much to the agri - cultural resources of our country." And the liar . risburgh Union, of the fith,speaking with refer ence-to the crops throughout the State, speaks con fidently of at least an average yield.

The St. Louis Union, of the 31st ult , says:—' gentleman living about ten miles in the conm! try, informed us yesterday, that the prospect of an abundant harvest is very fine. Wheat is as good ! as be ever saw it at this time of the year, and corn, notwithstanding the backwardness of the planting season, is quite promising." But the Lagrange (Nlissouri) Free Press, gives a bad account of the wheat in that putt of the State. The editor says: We have conversed with intelligent farmers from different pails of the country, and their uniform opinion is that there will not be one-tenth part or the wheat raised this season that there ,alas last year. A kind of bug or fly has commenced its ravages on the wheat with hie most ruinous effects. Some fields that escaped through the winter, have fallen victims to this scourge. The Corn crop promises an abundant harvest The Miliia9kie (Wisconsin) Sentinel, of a late date, says:— So far as Wisconsin is concerned, we are persuaded that the yield of wheat will be abundant, unless something shall occur between this and harvest, to injure the crop. In Illinois it has been stated that the crop was almost entirely cut off; but it would appear from the Aurora Bea con (Kane Co) that this is an exaggeration.— Within the last feW weeks, wheat fit that region has come forward astonishingly, and many farmers who supposed that their crops had been almost wholly destroyed, now anticipate an average yield. From Michigan on the East and lowa on the West of us, vie have good accounts of the wheat crop." The St. Joseph (Mich.) Republican, says: "We hear numerous complaints of the 'ravages of the fly on the -wheat crop. In many parts of this county entire fields are being swept by that destructive insect, and we hear of similar com plaints west ans." There has also been a very destructive hail storm, which did great injury to the fields arid fruit trees. Some of the hail stones were six inches in circumleience. From the Gazette, (Licking Co., Ohlo,) we learn that " the wheat has been Winter-killel, and there was not a field but what was badly spotted and very thin Unless the low lands do better, there will not be hall a crop in this county, per baps not a fourth. And the Geauga County Re. publican states !that the crop would have been an average one, notwithstanding the unfavorableness of the winter, but for the ravages of the Fly, which it is feared, is operating very extensively in the southern and the - middle portions. of the State.— In Preble county, on the 30th ult. there was a very severe hail storm, which destroyed much of the grain.; and nearly all the fruit. We may have been hasty in our 'notice of the; street commissioners on Wednesday anoming; per haps tbey are - not so much to blame after all.— But it is certain that the streets are in a lrad con dition; and that the people are much disatisfied with the manner in which they are attended to by the officers•whose duty it is to keep the public ways clear and - -clean.

Ma. liariren—Sir: When looking over, your paper - of Tuesday last, I observed that you pub lished the prriceedings of the Select Council, re garding the grade of Grant and Fifth streets. At.- cordini, to your report, which I believe to be cox• rect, they propose lowering the grade of Grant street, where it intersects Fifth street, four feet be low the present grade; but at the same time, they contemplate elevating Smithfield street two and a half : feet. where itOfeesects Fifth street. We are of the opiniOn that this will not answer the end contemplated: that is, to reduce the nob on Grant street, at Fifth. What has Smithfield to do with Grant street! We think it would be much better to take three or four feet more off Grant street. and let Smithfield street alone—as this could be done with less cost to the city, and a great deal lee injury to private property. We believe that it - is admitted on all hands, that Grant and Fifth, ut their intersection, is a great deal too high . ' But if it is thought that now is the proper time to reduce the grade, (as there is no doubt but it wilt some day be done,) does it follow that at that time' Smithfield street should be injured in its business facilities! Smithfield street is one of the best graded streets in our city, and the most direct road running from the Brownsville Boats . landing to the Canal ; and at the present, (to say nothing of the future,) is a street on which a vast amount of ha siness is done. Moreover, it should be remembered' that a large majority of the members of the Corn mon Council see a great propriety in lowering Grant where it intersects Fifth street, ten feet be low the present grade; and at the same time they can see no propriety in elevating Smithfield street, and have passed no ordinance to that effect. The reason is obvious. If you raise Smithfield street ten feet, that would not lower Grant street one inch. They think that if an obstruction is on Grant street, there is no reason that, in its remo• vat, it should be placed on Grant street. But we think the time is not far distant when that hill at the intersection 3f Grant and Fifth streets shall be brought low; and all who are interested in this matter will see the propriety of letting the grade of Smithfield remain as it is, and Grant and Fifth streets be made to correspond, as far as practicable, with the present grade of Smithfield and Pennsyl vania A‘enue.

Craft., Eeq., for the sale of KhMIA. The Gaz ette says that subsequent to the offer of Mr. Craft the Hon. Harmer Denny had intimated his inten• lion to give the 1l acres of his Springfield farm, which was the subject of negotiation, as a dona tion. This is truly magnanimous; and should there be no drawbacks, relicts the highest credit on the heirs of the O'Hara estate. Between the two sites all our preferences are on the side ofKAL3tiA for the purpose intended. It lies to the south and ' east, and is sheltered from , the rude north and westwardly winds, which make the Springfield Knott.s . so bleak. But as a gift, it will be,difficult lo reject Mr. Denny's,property. The one is like a beautiful girl, not altogether portionless, but on whom nature hies lavished the most charming qualities; the other an heiress, cold and austere, but possessing all those shining attractions which captivate mercurial hearts.
