New York, Tuesday, July 15, 1845. bi c Tue Weatner Acaix.—A Cuanos.—The burn. ing sun rose yesterday morning with increased fer- vor, throwing out more heat than on the previous day, and making the city a big heated oven—heated to fever point. Throughout the forenoon and toone o'clock, the atmosphere was more sultry than ever, and the mereury run up to a higher point than it has been for atleast ten years. The effect of this in- tense heat upon the people and animals of this city was most distressing, causing death in several in- stances. One man received a coup de soleil in John street, and died immediately, and three or four horses fell dead in different parts of the city—one in Fulton street near our office. Our wonder is, howe- ver, that more stage horses were not killed, for the brutes who drive them urged them through the streets ut their usual speed, without any reference to the height of the mercury. After this, there was a change in the weather About two o’clock a breeze set in, and at three o’clock the thermometer had fallen from 964 at noon, to 96, and at six in the evening, a refreshing shower | and one or two claps of thunder, sent it down to 83 degrees.

A wise inactivity—acontinuance of the com- pact of 1817 and 1827, was the course he had de- signed to pursue, for it was safer than arbitration, and less disastrous than war. With or without the formal occupation, our people would in time occupy the soil—without the extension at once, and exclu- sively,of our laws over Oregon, she would take care of herself—and knock when it was expedient, for annexation. But the day of a wise inactivity is past, and the question resolves itself into compro- mise or no compromise. And there can not be a compromise at this stage of the matter, and with the prospect before us of soon spreading our authority and laws over Texas, California and Mexico. Is the Union, the official organ of the government, ready to retract the position of the administration, as defined in that song published in the first number of the new organ ? a verse of which song, referring to President Polk, reads: “« He will protect each mother’s son, In the far-off land of Oregon, Nor yield an inch of Oregon,” &e. lt was that song, or the sentiment of that song, which more than any other sentiment carried In- diana for Col. Polk, and gave him those overwhel- ming majorities in the States west of the Hoosiers, But,upon this question, we have this momentbeen favored with a letter addressed to an influential member of the last House of Representatives, from a gentleman in Indiana. The writer was a soldier in the last war, and fought gallantly by the side of Gen. McCalla, at the River Raisin, until taken a The population thus rendered destitute cannot be esti- mated at less than 20,000 souls. The reason why so many | houses were blown up during the last fire, compare) | Pi with the previous one, is obvious. As the fire of the 26th May was all west of Hope Gate and travelling sastward, an inspection of the map will show, that there was but s very narrow passage for it to make the Lower Town. The blowing up o in this passage effectually checked it. But in that of the 28th June there were a great many ading streets run- e St. Lewis and St. which it was necessary to cut ouple ofhouses ning continuously through both tl John’s Suburbs, in all o: off the communication. The public buildings destroyed are the Fabrique School House, the Protestant Chapel, the D Chapel, Artillery street, the large School Hor se: by the ‘Pravey'aetadectvine Chretienne, Orphan Asylum, and Roman Catholic Chapel, &c. : Ifcompared with other calamities of a like nature, we suspect that Quebec has suffered more proportionally than any othercity of which we have any account. In Quebec the whole population did not exceed 35,000 before the fire, and the loss of propérty cannot be less than £1,250,000.
