The corn, potat and other late crops, have suffered extremely from the late drought; but it is hoped that the sho which have en during the last two nights will re- suscitate the drooping vegetation, and cause it to yield a bountiful retura for toil of the hasbaad- man. But itis not the farmer alone who will be enefitted by the recent outpouring of the clouds for the water had washed away an immense quan- tity of nauseous filth that has accumulated ia the streets of our city—while. at the same time, the lightning has purified and rendered wholesome tho atmosphere with which we are surrounded.

This looks somewhat ominous. Mr. W.’s services must either be very much needed in the Cabinet just at this time, or else his recent course with regard to the fishing busiuess, has created a coolness towards him on the part of the President. ent Col. Cooper has been appointed Adjutant General in place of the late Roger Jones. Col.

From the tenor of the remarks on the subject, it is probable that the bill will succeed in the Senate this time. At all events, its friends appear to be quite sanguine of its Iu the House of Representatives, yesterday, Mr. Olds unsuccessfully attempted to get up a little con- fusion among the whigs, by referring vo a letter pub- lished in 1848, signed “Americus,” and which, it is alleged, was written by General Scott.

Emboldened by their successes, the Zacatecas tribe recently at- tacked a town within one hundred miles of the city of Mexico, What makes the matter worse, the government appears to have no resources left to pay for the defence of the people. We are called upon to record another death from earelevely driving upon railroad tracks.

In this view of the case, it becomes us to examine our own resources, to know what we can depond upon to meet present and future emergencies. Ac- cordingly, as we have heretofore stated, Mr. Gwin has moved in the Senate for information of the present disposable force and condition of the navy, and, in course of time, perhaps some information will be given; perhaps a copy of the Navy Register may be submitted in reply. But the readers of the HEXALD are not accustomed to depend upon the slow action or the meagre reports of the authorities at Washington, for information on important subjects of general inter: We have, therefore, condensed, from a variety of authentic sources, for the infor- wation of our readers—who are the mass of the y’s ambition. wi be | people—a particular report of the present state of the navy, so far as the present matter calls for in- , present full information of the state of theentire naval service, both personnel and materiel, anks, divisions, and departments. These reports will be more full, more accurate, and more reliable, and produced with greater despatch, than | what the old fogies at Washington can produce in this hot weather. They will show :— | 1. What naval force we have immediately ayail- | able for service in the fisheries | 2. What naval force for a re-inforcement, if ne- ceseary. 3. What nayal and national resources we can rely upon for the possible exigency of a long and bloody naval war with the first naval power on earth. 4. What alterations an1 additions to our present eystem are required to enable us successfully to com- pete with the m'stre f the seas—perhaps with the world, in arms ; for it is impossible to foresee the | events of a war between two leading powers—what train of consequences may ensue, or how far other powers and interests nay be embroiled and stirred into the matter, before its completion and termina- immediate service in the fisheries, the follow- | ing vessels, ifso ordered, can arrive off Halifax, as | here give Steamship Misdesippi, 10 guns, Capt.

She belongs to the Home Squadron. Steamer Fulton, Commander T. G. Benham, 5 guns, very powerful engine, and fast vessel, well adapted for towing; is in commission at @ cruiser in the Home squad- ron; lust heard from at Pensacola, where she probably is now—if ordered, can be at the fisheries by the 10th of August.

It thus appears that we have available for imme- | diate service, and can concentrate at Halifax, if 20 ordered, the following force :— By Avgust 2—Two steamers and one sloop-of-war—total 40 guns, 8—(Including the above, three steamers, two sloops.of-war, and one brig—total 12 guns 15-—(Tneluding the above.) five steamers, five tloops of- war, and two brigs—total, (12 vvesrels) 161 guns. There might be added to this foree certain small revenue vessels from Northern and Pastern ports, which would swell up the force (though not propor- | tionable to strengthen it) toas many as two hua- | dred guns. The two steamehips Fredonia and Re- liet, are both in New York Nuvy Yard ; they carry ten guns, are good sailers, and would be useful to | supply coal to the steamers, as well as for eruisi The above are all the vessels we have gvailable to place on the fishing coasts by the 15tq Augy but they are enough, if despatched witkgut unne- cessary delay, and as soon as each ome is ready, to prevent the seizure of many hundreds of | valuable fishing craft, to reeapture some already taken, and, perhaps, by their energetic action, to deter the British cruisers from too great a | precipitancy, which, once indulged in, war would | become inevitable | diplomatic action, or for future preparation. By the 80ch August the above foree can be in- | creased by the addition of five frigates, carrying 32 guns, besides smaller wessels, as will be shown in the next article on this subject. Tne Wessver Pu.apenpatA ConveNtion— | AnmED LITY OF THE Webster Parry.—Lhe | National Union Convention forthe nomination of Mr. | Webster an independent Union candidate for the | Presidency, will meet either to-day or on Monday, i | at all,in the city of Philadeiphia, to determine what course they shall pursue. It is quite likely they will not make any formal nomination of Mr. Web- | ster, is late stage of the caavass, but content | themselves with the position of av armed neutrality | inreference to the Baltimore nomination of Gen Scott. Armed neutreli | In his speech at 3 | had not yet come for th the Presidential question. It is s-1f-evident from | this, that he stands aloof from G Scott, cannot | support him, aud will not now desvend to the humi- i ¢ position of skulking back wader the shelter ofthe Baltimore Convention, after the abmpe, the misrepresentations, and the krow-beating which he has cuilered from the leading organs of Seward, which are also the leading organs of Gen. Scott. The defeat of Gen. Cass, in 1848, was effected by Martin Van Buren running as a third candidate upon his Buffalo platform. The disaffection of Mr. Webster and his friends promises to be equally de- cisive in 1852 against Gen. Scott—not, perhaps, from a separate nomination, but from theirsullenand chilling position of armed neutrality. The sorrowful fact that they do occupy this position, aided and abetted by Mr. Webster himself, has already utterly paralyzed all the efforts of the Scott whigs to get up a military hurrah. Even on the very spot of the grandest, most glorious, and most sublime and at- tractive natural wonder upon the Tace of this globe, and in view ofthe most terrible battle fields of the last war, and with all the stimulants of a military encampment to aid them in raising a breeze, the Lundy’s Lane experiment was a dead failure. Nor should we be at all surprised if the armed neutrality of Mr. Webster wero to result more disastrously to General Scott than did the open hostility of Van Buren in the defeat of General Cass. The whig party will richly deserve the worst that may happen; for if ever a wan has been shamefully and insufierably used as a stalking horse—an in- strument—a njere tool—for the promotion of other men—if ever aman has been cheated by false pro- mises, that man is Mr. Webster. Now, he recoils; nor does he stand alone. The Boston Courier sus- tains him in his armed neutrality; and the Courier, of this city, holds the following significant language on the same question :— We have said. and we repeat, and we speak not only for cumeiver but for thousands and tens of thonsands of the best whigs in the country—that while we are willing and rendy to doall in our power to sustain Gen.

And the sooner that this fact beeomms clearly understood and acted upon, the greater will be his | chance of sucecss.

From his answer, however, it appears that our Minister, Mr. Letcher, had be- come an unwelcome guest to the Mexican govern- ment; and oneal request for bis reall The letters between Schor Larrainzar and Mr. Webster | are of a somewhat different stamp. Our Secretary of State is very brief, but very much to the pur. pose. He lays down tho law to the Mexican Minis- ter in three propositions, to wit:— clusive control over the Tehuantepes route, and that, according ‘o the usages and laws of nations and good neighborhood, it is incumbeut apoa Mex- ico to permit the route to be opened. 2—Tnat Mexico cannot, of herself, open the route as a practical portage between the Atlantic and Paeific oceans. 8—That the United States cannot consent that the exclusive control of this route should pass over into the Lands of any third power. Mr. Webster also urges the validity of the Garay grant, and there he drops the subject. The argument of Senor Larrainzar we have sub- stantially presented heretofore. The whole corres poncence is interesting, and shows clearly enough that, although the Garay treaty, and the epecula- tions based upon it, are dewd and gono, still, “there is every prospect of some satisfactory arrango- ment, by-and by, for the opening of this celebrated and highly advantageous Tehuautepec route. Finally, having procured this correspondence at our own exclusive expense, our cotemporarics will recognise the justice of its exclusive publication this morning in the New Yorx Herarp. Mors Aporition Lirgrat RE.—Wo seo it an- nounced that Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, author- ess of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, has so far recovered her health as to be able to resume her literary vocation. Look out for another abolition novel, a little hot- ter than the last. Mrs. Stowe has opened a placor, and she will, probably, work it to the last panful. We shall have agitation enough. Let tho South be on their guard. Probably wo shall have a deze abolition novels iy the next nine months. We might thus gain time for | ition of Mr. Webster. | upon the platform,” there will be no reconciliation. | 1—That the United States do not wish any ex- | Tur SreamBoaT Massacre.—We pablish to-day, further particulars of the horrible tragedy on the Hudson river; and though we have given, for the last three days, ample details of the disaster, wo fear the whole will never be told. Every succeed- ing day brings more and more to light the atro- cious disregard of human life which was the first cause of the dénoiement. The statements of tho passengers, and the testimony at the inquest, tend wore and morg to fasten guilt upon the owners and officers of the Henry Clay, and to prove that from sixty to-one hundred lives have been wantonly and wickedly sacrificed to the selfish spirit of cupi- | dity, which, in order to draw a few more passengers, resorted to the most ufjustifiable mean to establish the superiority of one boat over avother—means which risked the lives of all the pascengers on board, drove some of them out of tho | hoat at the stopping places, aud now cause the sur- vivors of the eatastrophe to be devoutly thankful to | Providenee that they escaped the flames or a watery grave. That the whole trip was a desperate race, does not, now admit of the shadow of a doubt; and that the accident wos caused by racing, is equally clear. And when the fire took place, there was no man in charge of the boat who showed the slightest abi- | N or self possession, in saving the lives of the pas- | With ordinary capacity in a commander, | lity seng avd even the ordinary means of escape, not o life | might bave been lost. The boat was not headed to the shore in the proper direction— the passengers were sent aft, instead of forwoard—there were uo small boats, no bouys, not even a line, to reseue the devoted victims from | death, though the stem of the unfortunate steam- hoat was actually on land; and one gentleman testi- fies that he was for half an hour straggling in the water. | The whole transaction has justly fired the com- ity with indignation against the éwners and s of the Henry Clay, and the public look with anxiety for the firm administration of justice in the case. We entertain the strongest apprehensions that the public indignation and the legal investign- + tion will both end in smoke and if the event should prove otherwise, we shall feel most agreeably sur- | prised. It is true that the Coroner’s jury, now sitting in Westchester county, ought to return a vordict of manslaughter against the guilty parties. It is also trve that the District Attorney and the Grand Jury ought to follow up this verdict, and that a petty jury and acriminal judge ought to do their duty in the premises. But there is too much reason to fear that this case will terminate like the case of the Empire of Troy, the Greenwich avenue school | house calamity, the Hague street explosion, and the Staten Island tragedy. In none of these cases have the guilty been brought to justice, or even to trial. In the Hague street case | the jury acquitted themselves like men; bub that was all we have heard of the matter since. In the Staten Island case we hear of no movement made by the District Attorney to indict the owner of the fatal bridge, and it is extremely probable we shall never hear a word about it. Ia the present case there will be so much sinister influence brought to bear on one or other of the legal channels through which it must pass, before justice is consummated, that we despair of seeing the laws of the land for the protection of human life vindicated. The public feeling having found vent in burning words, no deeds will fellow worthy of the dignity of offended justice. In a few days the excitement will subside, and other events will occupy the at- tention of this busy community. The barning of tke Henry Clay will be forgotten; and the case will be allowed to go to sleep till another terrible ca- tastrophe of the same description occurs, startling the public mind with ‘horror upon horror’s head accumulated,” and again bringing the bitter cup of sorrow and bereavement irreparable, to many a de- solate home. This is a melancholy consideration in a great country, where the people emphatically make their own laws, and elect the officers to admin- ister them. Itisa reproach to our republican in- stitutions, that, as they are at present administered in this State, life and property are less secure under their protection than under the laws of monarchi- caland despotic governments. When will this re- proach be wiped away, and the majesty of the model republic of the world shine forth in its native puri- ty and lustre—not only as a beautiful theory, but inthe practical operation of those principles of public justice which are not less important to the well being of society than the possession of the largest liberty that has ever been enjoyed under any other form of human government ?
