The Little Rock (Ark.) Democrat of the 6th instant says:—The planters in this vicinity tear that their cotton crop will be seriously affected by the wet spell which has so long continued. The prospect through- out the entire corn growing region is by no means flattering; and, from present appearances, t will be a short one. The frost at the eommence- ment of the season—the overflow of so many of the plantations on the Mississippi—the almost uni- prevalence of rain damp weather during six weeks— the rav: of the cholera, reduc- ing the force of the planters considerably, and pre- venting them. in many cases, from pushing their crop when it most needed it—all these considerations, even if the remaining portion of the season is as favorable as could be, seem to indicate a short crop. The Rochester (N. Y.) Democrat, of the 18th inst , rays :—During the last three or four days wheat has ripened with astonishing rapidity, aud there are now, in this vicinity, very few ficlds which are not ready for cutting. The crop is very heavy—the berry plump, and the beads well flied. The husbandman is reaping arich return for bis year’s teil, The Ohio Cultivator, of the 10th instant, says: -The weather for the past ten days has been extremely warm, with frequent rains and fogs—very unfavorable for the wheat harvesting, which Tos bete going on in this region whenever the weather would permit, for a week past. ‘Lhe rust has done great injury to all the wheat in central and southern Ohio, excepting the eariiest fields, and on high rolling ground. The wheat fly, too, bas been very destructive in this andseveral adjoining counties — perhaps in other parts of the State. Our letters from Licking county, the Maskiagam valley, and also westward, speak in gloomy term; of the injury from the rust. If the more northern coun- ties have not escaped this evil, the wheat erop of Ohio will fall immensely short of what was anticipated only two weeks since A letter trom Benton, Mo , of July Ist,"to the Little Rock (Ark ) Democrat, of the 6th inst., ea; e have bad constant ruins for some days past, injuring the cat crop considerably, as it is ripe and some portion cut.

The income of the Worcester and Providence Rail- | road Company, derived from transportation of passen- gers and freight in the month of June, 1849, was $20,555 13. The increase of parsenger and freight receipts for the six months ending 30th June, 1849, from that of the snme six months in 1848, was $7,480 06. To give a protty correct idea of the erodit of the New York and Erie Railroad Company, it is only neesssary to refer to the daily sales of the bonds in this market, The frst mortgage bonds command only three per cent premium, and the recond mortgage bonds have been mortgage bonds of this company, amounting to $2,000,000, are secured up to this time by two and forty miles of railroad and property, eost from twelve to fifteen millions ef dollars; and every sale of the several mortgage bonds, and every dollar expe the road, is so mach additional security for the payment of these bonds, and yet they only com: & premiam of three per eent for a seven per cent investment The second mortgage bonds, amounting te fonr millions of dollars, have been negotiated at 85 to 90 per cent, and have the seeond lien upon the property of the concern. These bonds draw seven per cent im- terest, and are now felling at 8 te 0 por eent dis. eount, The certificate bends are bonds given for the evidences of debt contracted by the old com- pany, and have five years to run, from the ist of January last. They amount to about $600,000. Hold- ers of some of the old cortificates have euits against the company for payn ent, upen the ground that there was ‘No agreement to receive bonds for the certificates, when they reached maturity. They argue that the certia- cates were deferred claims against the company, having a certain time to ran, which were payable, at maturity, In cosh; and the position taken by the eompany, that it had a right to redeem them by iseue of five year bonds, was against ail law and equity. These bonds draw seven per cent interest, and are selling at twenty per cent discount. itis the opinion of rome of our best lawyers, that these bonds have claims upon the property of the company superior to the first mortgage bonds. ‘The three classes of bonds represent an indebtness of $7,000,000, bearing interest at the rate of seven percent perannum. This indebtedness, and all that may be hereafter contracted, upon any terms, takes precedence of every issue of stock; notwithstand- ing which, we find the third elars of bonds gelling at prices only twenty per cent higher than the stock. If the stoek is netually worth one dollar per share. the eertifiente bonds are worth atleast par. This isa fea- ture peenliar to railroad securities in this country, and ‘we cannot aeeount for it ratiafactorily, We recollect that for some time previous to the memorable explo- sion in the affairs of the Reading Railroad Company. the stock wns selling in this market at priees ranging mortgage bonds eumetance at the time, and repeatediy euntioncd holders of the stock, and calied upon them to beware | of the mine upon which they were apparently so quiet- Jy resting. Our waruings were, in some instances, ua- heeded, and the collapse ruined those who blindly Placed so much confidence in the statements of those whose business it was, by false statements, ke, to swindle the public There is not « railroad company | in the country, the business of which can afford such gross extravagance as has been exhibited in the mapagement of the finances'of such concerns as the Reading and the Erie. We connect these companies in our remarks, because in their rise and progress, they have been alike, and because, the results realized in the former are sure to be realized in the latter; and we wish to place them side hy side, as buoys, to warn those who have the management of our great works of inter- | pal improvement, against the shoals and roeks upon | whieh they were wrecked. We do not wish to be under- stood as selecting the Erieas the only bankrupt railroad in the country; for it is our opinion that there is not a solitary solvent railroad company im the Union. It has been recently discovered that several of the eastern railroads, those which were supposed to be the best managed companies in the country. are bankrupt, and have not, for some time, earned the dividends declared. Until within the past year or two, we have considered railroads the best and safest investments in the world, and bave favored their inerease and extension im every way in our power, But we have recently made the discovery that a system of swindling has been carried on, more extensive than in any other in- corporated companies, not even excepting banking institutions. We are not alone in this opinion; many of our largest capitalists, men who have been the heaviest holders of railroad stocks, and have sub- seribed liberally to every important road started, have arrived at the same conclusion, aud have sold out their Interests, ‘This is solely the result of miserable management, of speculations on the part of the directors and those with whom they are connected, in the contracts and | business of the companies; of the appropriation of the capital to the accumulation ef fortunes, by those en- trusted with its expenditure; or, in a few words, im Peculation of all sorts and in every way. Railroads which should not have cost more than $30,000 per mile, have cost the stockholders more than double that sum, and even after the line is constructed at this great cost, there has been annually a large increase of capital, No one appears disposed to give a true, correct and detailed statement of expenditures, but the aggre- gate is given, in such a way, that no one can tell where the money has gone to. Public confidence has disappear- ed, and the stockholders may be thankful if they ever realize anything on their investments, It is very casy | to pay dividends out of the capital, so long as the ca- pital lasts, or money can be borrowed on bonds; it is very easy to declare dividends, payable in the bonds of the company; it is easy to make low estimates of the cost of a road, for the purpose of filling up a subserip- tion for stock, and, when the actuai cost amounts to five or six times the sum estimated, to account for it by saying that the line and grade were altered; it is vory eary to make extravagant estimates of revenue, and, when only forty or fifty per cent are realized, to attri- bute the falling off to # dozen causes, not one of which ever existed, It has been very easy to fill up subserip- tions to railroad stocks, upon estimates. known by those who made them to be false, and to create confl- dence in the statements of boards of directors com- posed of some of our most distinguished men; but it is 40 no longer. The time has passed for the successful accomplishment of such swindling projects, and the results of those recently started have yet to be roal” ized. Hundredsj and thourands will refer to our remarks and predictions relative to the Erle, the Hudson River, and dozens of others, in different parts of the country, after they have been ruined by their folly and blind confidence in such men a8 compose the direction of our railroads generally, and regret that they were not governed by our counsel end disinterested advice. We know of dozens of instances, where men of mederate means have been compelled to submit to sacrifices of forty and fifty per cent, on their subscription to some of these railroads; and who but the rich man who stands ready to pur- chase at the enormous depreciation, and the speculator, benefits by the poor man’s necessity? There are cases | of individual losses in the history of the Erie Railroad management, the particulars of which would harrow up the soul of any one but the wealthy managers, whose folly. extravagance, Ke, &c,, Ke, he, &e., hav been the cause of so much suffering ; and before the end is reached. before the curtain drops, many more and much harder eases will be added to the list.

INTELLIGENCE BY THE MAILS, Our Washington Correspondence. ‘Wasuinerton, July 18, 1849. Assault on the Servant of the Mexican Minister— Board of Commissioners for the Settlement of Claims-—Post Office Robbery. Last night, between ten and eleven o’clock, brutal assaults were made upon two of the ser- vants in the employ of the Mexican Minister, Mr, Rosas. They had just come out of a grocery store atthe corner of F and Fifteenth streets, and not more than a hundred yards from his residence, on the same street. Three men had been seen, asthough watching for victims, and the rattling of stones, as if thrown by the hand, was heard by citizens of. the neighborhood. One of the servants represents that he was struck upon the arm, and made his escape ; the other, Manuel Perote, got home, no one knows how, leaving a trace of blood all the way to the door. The first knowledge persons in the house had of his wounds, was acquired from his groanings and moans, and on entering the room they saw hia companion washing the blood from his face and head. Mr. Rosas came in, who im- mediately sent a foeesenger for several of our most distinguished citizens. On Sfapiination, they dis- covered that the poor feliow’s skull had been broken, and they removed two large pieces of the bone. "He was in reat agony all might, and had several severe fits. ay This morning, the Liev. James Donelan received his confession, and administered. the sacrament—it being next to ‘impossible for hun to recover. The surgeons think that he was struck on the head with a colt. We conversed with @ person cennected with Mr. Rosas’s househdéld, and. the above are the facts with which he furnished us. From another source, we learned that the compa- nion ot the sufferer gives no sutisfactory account of the transaction. e eeee -ver this may ih Perote was attacked, and will probably die. ‘The Mexi- can Minister was up all night with him, and did his utmost to impart comfort. The Secrety ary of State, being a near neighbor, has already been in- formed of the event. Police officers have endea- vored to get some clue to the villains; but, so far, without the least success. The occurrence may derive some public nnportance from the fact that Mr. Rosas represents the government of a country with which we, not long since, were at war, Of course, We are not responsible for the assault; it cannot seriously affect the good understandin; which exists between the two countries; but it wi sound badly in Mexico, that here, at the capital, the Minister’s servant, quietly proceeding to his home, was wounded unto death. We are jealous of our good name, and any event of this nature causes us sorrowful emotion especially as the wounds of Mexico are not qu eale William Carey Jones, Esq., Secretary of the Beard of Commissioners for, the settlement ot claims against Mexico, has resigned his otfice, and we have been informed he has been sent to Mexico, to procure such information from the government of that country as _ moyen the business before the Commission. Nathan Sargent Esq. appointed Recorder of the Land Office, was offered the post of secretary, but declined it, on account of not beim, sencaiaied with the Spanish language, a knowledge of which is necessary. Edward Ww: Johnson, Esq., the book critic of the National In- telligencer, a gentleman of education and moral worth, will probably be selected for the office by the President. The city ce office was robbed in an Mpptel manner, on Sunday evening. The box of R. W. Latham & Co., small note issuers and brakers, is near to one of the windows where the letters are delivered. The contents of their box were stolen, it is supposed by some one putting his arm thi he the aperture, crooking his elbow, and removing the deposites with his fingers. ‘The letters contained drafis and bank notes to the amount of tweaty- seven hundred dollars. The police do not know where to begin to find the thief. G. Our Philadelphia Correspondence. Puiapeiemta, July 20, 1849.

The ora- tions of the graduates displayed great advancement on their a pare and retlected much credit upon the faculty for he good results flowing from the ex- cellent method of imparting instruction at institution. The valedictory address was delivered by Henry U. Mallory. An in effectuve orchestra pe a t selection of music. During the commencement, Lewis Stelle, a lad belonging to the Northwest school, tell from a window of the Museum, and fractured his arm.
