CANADIAN RECIPROOITY TREATY—CHARGES AGALMST MR. BAYLY OF VIRG(NIA, BTC. Wasitxatoy, July 21, 1854, ‘The Reciprocity and Fishery treaty was callec up to ‘day in cxecutive session, by Mr. Mason, of Virgiala, who spoke briefly in its favor. Mr. Cooper of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Pratt of Maryland, opposed it. After some con- ‘veraation, rather than discussion, the subject was post- ‘poned tillto morrow. The administration boasts that they can carry the treaty without any trouble; and if they do not, it certainly will not be because of any vant of flattery or threats. The subsequent action in the “House, should the treaty be ratified in the Senate, is not Tegarded quite so complacently. The raising of a committee to investigate Mr. Green's ~eharges against General Bayly, is but a repetition of the Colt case. It is but justice to General Bayly to remark that last Congress he successfully repelled the very charges now brought against him, and so triumphantly asto carry his measure—the Mexican Indemnity—by a very large majority.

Cases of Sun Stroke—Safferings of Horses, &e., Ge, Gee This is truly weather without @ parallel. For years past wo cannot remember a period in summer when the heat has been mere oppressive than it bas been for the last few days, The the. mometer points to a high figure, and appears decided to remain there, no‘withstanding the prayors and wishes of thousands that it may fall, if itbe ever so sitrls Every broa'h of air that isatirring, and ihat is oot much, acpears as if it poured out of a heateo oven, and brings to the ays'em more of a heated, sickening load, than @ cool, refreshing. revivifying balm. Yesterday, ut noon the sky appeared to be get ting up ashower, »nd many laid tho ‘dattering une- tion to their soul” that a few drops of rain would pro bably fallto cool the scorching éarth. Woe were all, however, doomed fo dieappointment, and must be con tent to griv and beer our suffering; but, we hope, only a litle lopger. Thursday, we anid, was the hottest day o the season—yeaterday it was hatter still and we would be glad to think that we had now arrived to the superia- tive degree. Tie following wasthe state of the ther- mometer yesterday in the shade :— M. 12M 1PM. 8PM 6P.M. 93 94 97 95 TA. July 21... 66 Now, this is running s0 near @ hundred that we might very well give in to old Sol, and set it down at tha igure, if tbat is what he fs struggling for. In the sun the thermometer points between 100 and 126 degrees during the dsy; and wo noticed, not without shudder we confess, workmen engaged at their different avoca- tions under this heavy beat. Would it not be better for the employes, whose business brings them in the eun’s rays, to make arrangements with their employers so that they can be released from work in the middle of the day, when ‘the’? Sun God is most savage? Let house car pentera who work on the roofs of buildings, and others of trades equally expored, commence work earlier and continue Jater in the day, and (bey will live years longer for the change. It is this exposure that provokes the cholera, sun strokes, and the ‘ill that flesh is heir to’’ at this particular time Speaking of sun strokes, we heard of the following yesterday :-— In the afternoon, a man named Robert Leigher was sun struck in the Fourth ward. He was removed to the City Hospital. A men named John Pays was sun struck while pass- Bear Thirty-second street. Aman named Thomas Dunlap was sun struck in the morning, while passing through Broadway, near Cham- bers atrect. He was taken to his home in Seventeenth street. Also in the morning, about half-past ten o’cleck, horse, belonging to the Broadway and Seventh aven line of stages, dropped down dead at the corner of Ful- ton and Pear! streete—caused by being sun struck. Beyond doubt there were cares other than these in- stances where tho victims managed to reach their homes and keep their illness from the public. In fact, we heard of one or two horses besides the above which fell dead in the street, and aroused any quantity of sympa- thy for these poor animals. It is certainly harrowing to aman of tender feelings, with any of the “milk of human kindness’’ in his system, to see these noble ores- tures tugging sway at their heavy loads, omnibuses, cars, drays, &e., white with lather, aud panting for life, so near are they upon the verge of exhaustion and suf- focation.. During this hot weatber there is nothing in the streets more calculated to arouse @ man's sympa- thies, if he bave any, than the suffering of our horses. Would it be out of the way to speak a word in their behalf? Cannot something be done for them? It is time that the health and comfort of these poor animals should be more generally regarded. Awnings (circular or equare) upon a light frame attsched to the tongues or arma of vehicles, so as to permit a free cir- culation of air, and at the same time completely screen the animals from the sun, might have saved many a valuable horse that has been sacrificed by unnecessary exposure to the sun’s rays. Horses are as liable to be “gun struck ’? as men: while at the same time, they do rot perspire as readily. It is hoped, therefore, that self- interest, if not humanity, may induce those who are served by these faithful creatures during the hot month 7 to make this slight effort in their behalf. ‘‘ A merciful man is merciful to bis beast.’ The custom also of feeding oats to horses in close bage—compelling the ani- mal (sometimes for hours after the grain is consumed) to breathe through the thick fibre of the bag, should be abandoned by all who desire their horses to possess sound lungs and vigorous health. Not only during the day, but all night lomg the heat clings to earth, and makes life iteelf a burden. Sach an extraordinary discharge of fiery darts during the day, #0 warms the atmosphere that the night is not long enough to cool it. A man lays down to sleep, but finds that “kind nature’s sweet restorer’? is more of ® poetic myth than reality, and it is with great difficulty that Somnus can be induced to sit upon his eyelids. On his couch he perspires and fumes, rolls over to find s cooler spot upon the bed clothes, soon Tolls bask to bis old place again, and thus tumbles about till from sheer exhaustion he drops into drowsy forget- fulness—sleeps exhausted and awakes exhausted, an § in the morning, after repeating for the Aftieth time his resolution to rush immediately into the country, and Jeave business to take care of itself, he dresses himself and goes about bis daily pursuits, out of humor and: § of compliments for everything in the wide world except ing watering places and summer retreats, rural bree ses, and mountain summits. Night work is no less plessant these scorching times than day work, although the sun has left the world to darkness and to shade. The situation of these whose duty it is to work around steam presses and steam boilers, in the heat of steam and fires, as well as the heat of the sun, is almost horrible to contemplate, On Friday right, in the press room of the Hxrarp, the thermometer stood all night long at 127 degrees—above fever heat. Think of this ye who luxuriate in the shade of v6 degrees, avd deent your let hard no longer. When w commenced this article, wé thought we had some righ to call the atmosphere hot and intolerable, and we have fo expressed ourselves; but when we come to the story of our presemen, we begin to think we upper ground folks havn’t got such hot weather after all. The com- parison makes us cool, and gives us the inclination to be satiafied. The idea of a press room, in the midat of steam and vapor, with the thermometer at 127, suggests per- feet fire-eaters working therein. But when we reflect in fact, that instead of salamanders, honest, respectable, christian and pious men are engaged in this room our sym- pathies are more greatly aroused. One might reasonably be excused the thought that the most hardened sinners on earth should work in such a place that their expe- rience on earth might At them for pandemonium. But ‘we will dwell upon this room no longer—it is altogether too hot to be interesting. Notwithstanding such hot weather with us, ocean cap- tains report large fields of ice in the European ronte. Captain Richaré », of the British brig Queen, lately ar- rived at this port from Limerick, reports that on the 2d inat., in lat. 48 27, lon. 48 48, he saw an iceberg about five miles in circumference and three hundred feet high. Such a cooler would be very acceptable in this latitude at the present time. ‘We notice by our various telegraphic advices, that this hot salutation of Old £ol is not given to us alone, but is extended to all parts of the Union. In this respect hot weather differs from cold. The various heavy storms and cold snaps of last fall, winter, and spring extended oser a certain section, generally commencing in the lati tudes of the Corolinas and extending northward along the coast, until they spent themselves in the ice felds of Salvador. A hot spell, on the other band, at the same time strikes every portion of the Union, if we may not include the entire contiaent. From New Orleans, Charles. ton, Memphis, Baltimore, Cincinnati, in the South and Weet, and from Albany, Boston, Montreal, Toroato, Buf- falo, in the North and East, we have the same etvry. AN complain of the heat. It is the one grad topic of the times, It throws the Tarko-Rassian question. altogether ort of the social circle. No one talks or cares about it, while such excessive heat is up- om the community. If the Czar could at this momeat eweep the Union with one of bis Siberian storms, it would act Hke a charm for him, and with one voice the nation would become his friend. But at present, we stend pret- ty muck in the position of the man who looked upon the Sight between the bear and the woodchuck ; ‘he didn’t care » curse which whipped.” In these times, as Ham- let says ‘ 8 Singing his pate againat Friegaeare z0ne. By the way, it’s a question for the would-be puridera of ‘ the Divine Poet,’’ whether Hamlet didn’t say “sun’? instead of ‘ zone.”” Orators and speculators feel used up, and are rushing out of the city as fast as they can. Houses in every section of the metropolis sre closed up, and their inmates fied. The promenader along Broad- way begins to feel that it is now a dull walk, for its beauty has forsaken it. Let us all live in hopes that there isa good time coming, that this insufferable heat will sdon be counted among the hardships of tho past, that the belle in a few short woeks will again resume her place on Broadway, tho ortor mount his forum, the merchant open his ledger, and the world wag on as of old, with a little less fre, but much more life and vigor upon its bosom, 80 say we all.

As @ pews medium, your pa,ver asa wide circulation in this community, and is mach sought after by citi- gene bs well as strangers. Your readers here were much incensed to duy by « Viacovering ia your Satur- dsy's iasne a letter fromt 48 city, dated July 12, and signed “G. C. A.,” wi Wich set forth that the cholera was raging here wis 2 fearful mortality— that the people had for the pi @Vious two or three weeke been dying off like sheep ‘that from the 3d to the 9th of this month the dea.‘hs by cholera had averaged over one hundre 4 per duly, &c. Allow me to give you a+ true :\tatement of the mortality of this city for the past month and @ half, as reported by the Boa “4 of Health, who bave employed three special offi « ‘8 to make daily a oor- rect statement of the health of the city. ‘The chelera made its first sppearance here this season, in June last. The tot, U number of deaths from all causes during that moa ‘th was 333, of which 142 were fom cholera, From J uly 1 to the 8th, in- clusive, the entire number of & ths was 242, of which the city sexjon reported 14 ‘6as from cholera. Since the eth the tao ity f a he city bas beea published daily by the Board of . Health, officially, and their returns show tne followi 08 result:— From the 9th to the 16th, incl ‘sive, the entire number of deaths from all causes ha 3, been 236—of which 170 were from cholera. The | ‘ighest nunfber for any one day (om the llth) from ll causes, was 44; the loweat (onthe 16th) 26. The tighest num- ber of cholera deaths on any one day » Was 28; the lowest, 10. You will perceive that th ¢ da’ age number of deaths during the eigh ¢ days, from the 9th to the 16th, inclusive, was 3 5% from all canees; and but 21} from cholera. It ts true that many of our citizens hi ‘Ve left the city through fright. The reports which they have cireulated at the East about the mortal ity of Cui- cago, in order to make the cause ot the * running away appear at all plausible, hascast a sti, ‘Ms upon their names here, and they are deeply coa ‘sured by every remaining cltiaee who has the interes 8 of oar city at heart. None of us want to deceive the ‘aa Vic'abroad, but let the trath be knownaa ‘4 circu- lated, and we fear not the resalt. If you w ‘ll pub- lish the daily returns of the mortality of thi 4 city, for the in‘ormation of our citizens at the B !, as well as the world at large, you will confera great favor on your Western readers. ‘The cholera is rapidly decliaing, and is but little thought of here now. Business ia very good, 0 onsi- dering the hot weather; and our frightened citt zens al need bave no fears to return to their hot aes, ag the once talked of panio is over, and Chia ago will quickly resume her character for good healt b. The returns published by the Board of Hed tth show the number of deaths here toharve been 22; of which but three were cholera.
