Het Weather—A Good Appontment— Mortality among the Fish—Markets, &c. Yesterday was a scorching hot day in the regions round about Baltimore, and all our mechames who were exposed to the rays of the sun were compelled to quit work. The prospects this more ning are that there will be no change for the bet- ter, as the thermometer now stands three degrees higher thun it did at the same time yesterday mor- ning. Colonel Kane yesterday made an appeintinent im the Custom Llouse, which gives universal satisfae- tion, being that of a son of the lamented Colonel Wm. H. Watson, who fell at the storming of Monterey, at the head of the Baltimore Battalion. It appears that young Watson had shipped before the mast, on board the Louis Philippe, bound for San Franciseo; and Colonel Kane having disco- ed his name in the papers of the vessel, started e to the ship, secured his discharge, and installed fim us a clerk, at $3 per day. Lcig said that the fish in the Chesapeake Bay are dy aby thousands, and that the shoves are strewn with ir carcares, ‘This is thought by some to indieatethe approach of the cholera, asa similar phenomenon occurred im 1832 4 .

Since my last, there have been many distinguish- ed arrivals at this hotel. General Herrera, (ex- Preeident of Peru,) his lady and daughter, who have expressed themselves highly delighted with this country, are here. Mrs. Herrera is a remarke ably handsome woman, and dresses in the most superb style. Last evening she wore brilliants, pearls, and diamonds, to the amount of eight thou- sand dellars ‘The cross she wore was all brilliants, and the chain of her watch all pearls and brilliants. Above the cross was a breast-pin of pearls, and a very large one was set in the middle. Her ear- rings were also composed of pearls, with two bril- liants in cach, and her bracelets were of brilliants and gold. Her necklace was also very rich. The general himself is a very polished gentleman, and ereenitayy affable. The young lady isa daugh- ter by a former wite. She is married to Edward Mickle, Esq., a Baltimorean, and a very wealthy merchant, wy 2 houses in Peru, ili, and Francisco. Le is at present in Chili, Tne Gener has another daughter, by the present lady, who is at school in Baltimore, which place he is about to visit. ‘There are other Spaniards of distinction here. Don Manuel Espinosa, lady and two dau; ters; Don Francisco Aguirre, a sugar planter, wi 18 suid to. be worth one hundred Godeand dollars a year, (in 1882, he lost 600 negroes by the cho- lera,) and Tomas Galon, an eminent jurist, wi has retired, having made a large fortuae. ere is another foreigner, 4 very geatlemanly man, Don Dige Tayate. There are also at the hotel, Cha 1. Livingston, Esq , of New York ; Mr. and Mrs, James, of Albany; F. Surget, Eeq., (of Missi sippi) lady, and Miss Linton; John Siidell, Esq., the gentlemen who had been sent to Mexico pre- vious to the commencement of hostilities betwi that country and the United States, his lady, three children; Colonel Temple, of Mexice cele- brit, James Stevensen, Eoq., the Misses Des londe, and Miss Perry, &e. ¢ have now indeed jiunt demonstration, in the true sense ing of the word. he arrangements of the hotel, although on so vast a scale, are well carried out. The housekeep- 's department, which ia one of no ordiaary ree sponsibility, is admirably conducted. The incam- bent, Mre. Wicks, is most active and au: ‘alia the discharge of her duties. She may be seen in all parts (I had almost said at one time) of the hours, which is so spacious and extensive, that it requires no incousiderable effert to get through it this hot weather. Everything under her control is in yn order. e walting corps } gare al- ready spoken. They ees 9 ital set of fellows ; and their leader, Mr. Morris, has no superior MH his line. The precision in his department strikes every one. Not a waiter moves, nor isa dish laid on the table, before a certain moment, when a sig- nel is given. The band played yesterday afternoon at Hall, and a brded the ighest gratification (© A who heard it. After tea, General Herrera, his family, and all the forei went to the Congress Spring; and, on thes venue, they aniesed’ tee drawing room, where they remained fer some tume, conversing with the various ladies and gen- | n who weg them. Mr. Chamberlain, a Boston merchant, who speaks lan- Sod tere | for a long ain’s lady 4 Seqeheer are with him. The latter is a very e girk. Tike Cenadian Parliament, having passed, at its late session, an act authorizing the construction eof & ship canal, to connect the waters of the St. Law- rence with those of Lake jain, persons of capital in thie section of the Union are giving the matter considerable attention, with a view of car- Tying out the great ebject in question. The act most liberal in its provisions. It gives the cont! of the work to the stockholders, w' r | side in the province or not; and it also company the right to fix ite ewn tolls. st ence of the act is not limited to any certain period, the government merely reserving fo itself the right , to the work at the end of fifteen years after ii fam pring 3°? natte, testimony to | Completion, on paying to the company its cost sg 5 cent. le survey was made by the 7s eo a two, years ago, between a ne, on | Champlata, and the St. Lawrence, from which it | appeared, that the distance between the two points was 19 miles, over an exceedingly flat country, with no reck or intervening obstructions, and | the elevation of the lake was only 16 feet above | that of the St Lawrence, so that only two lecks weuld be required on the whole route. The importance of such « work cannot for a mo+ | ment be questi |, and the results would be so sat isfactory, as to [render it one of the most profitable investments on the continent. Jt would create aa opening at once to the immense torests of ri pine lumber on the line of the Ottawa river a canal, which, ot itself, it 1s thought, would make the ebip canal a good investment ; but, what is of touch more importance, it would form a connect- ing link between all the Weatern lakes and Lake Champlain, and it would enable steamers and vessels to pass between those lakes and Whitehall, within 65 niles of the Hudson River, without breaking It would greatly decrease the expense, as well as lessen the time, in transporting freight be- tween New York and the Western lakes, and | would ae an Ry ‘3 equvens 4 traffic that now passes through the Erie Canal. Nature seeme to have formed this place for such a route, Cy oe undertaking would have been commenced | | completed years ago, had the territory been wi | the t nited States ; and, indeed, it ia a question, 1 | ithad been, whether the Erie Canal would have been constructed —whether the sixty-five miler be- | tween the Hudson and Lake Cham, pg bg . Law ernment of Cina- nineteen miles between the lake the rence, would not have been deemed far more fea- rible, as well as useful, then the three hundred t | miles of canal between Buffalo and Albany. How- ever, the construction of the ehip canal would pro- duce a great revolution in trade. The North woald | become what the great West now is, and even more. ‘Trade from Lakes Huron, Michigan, Erie, and Ontario, would seek an outlet throogh the Northern Canal.
