Tuy WeaTner—Rain at Last.—The spell is broken. Yesterday we were favored with a very pleasant suower, which lasted, with intervals, for several bowrs, com mencing about eight o'clock in the moraing. It was not much, but we are thankful for it. It greatly relieved the heat and oppression, which had become almost intolera ble; and as it seems to have been the fag-end of a storm which has spread east and weet over a large extent of country, we hope the farmers will be relieved and bene- fitted als», The night previous was one of intense suffer ing to many of the inbabitants of this large city, Not a Hreath ot air disturbed the calm, deathlike atmosphere; but hot, sultry, stifling, it made the breath come short and thick, and wrought delicate nerves up to the last de. gree of cnauratce. it eemed as if a shadow of evil had fal en upon the devoted city. People slept scroas thresh olds, on the stairs, out upon the roof, anywhere to breathe. It would have been a curious sight for an early riser to bave taken a birdseye view of the ‘lat roofs of the houses io the lower part of the 1own—every one covered with specimens of humanity of all sorts, sizes and conditions—paters familias, surrounded by their un copscions brood, stretebed out in all the abandon of na. ture, and forming figures not found in geome: try. Bot the morning broke, the sleepers awoke, and hailed the absence of the sun as the harbinger of a cooler day at least, if not a brighter one, tban the pre coding And so it proved, for which, at we used to ay at home, “Lord make us truly thankful.” The sky was cloudy last evening, and as rain has commenced, let us rope we wiil have a good drenching shower be\ore long. it would be worth a million of dotlars to the Long island and Bew Jersey farmers. The following were the deaths by heat:— Inquests were held, yesterday, upon the hodies of Mat thew Sweeny, a laborer: Mary Hurly, a native of Ircland, 80 years of age, who resided at 88 James street and Wm. frown, a native of Hamburg, 66 years of age, whe lived ut 57 Roosevelt street, all of whom died from the effects of the excessive heat of Monday. ‘Tue Fink Derartxvt.—The Commities on the Fire De partment of the Beard of Aldermen, Mr. Tucker, chair- man, met yesterday afternoon. The foremen of Engine Company No 27, Hose Company No. 20, and Hook ano {adver Company No 14, were beard upon applications sunt in by their respective companies for reimbursement of mopey expended by thome: ives in repairing their en xine houses. The amount claimed to have been thus ex pended was—Engine Company No. 27, $160; Hove Com. jany No, 29, $189 26, Hook and Ladder Company No. \4, 3/87. The Committee stated that they could take no cog: nizance of such applications, as it would be establishing a precedent that would be ive of enormous drate spon the city treasury. It was contended by the Com mittee that the proper way im such cases was to petition the Common Council for am appropriation to cover ve paire alleged to be necessary, and not to appiy for return of an amount expended their own option apd risk. In addision to the above, represent atives of different fire comspanies were bh ard, urging ap. p:ications for permission $0 increase the number of taem bers of their companiss As the present ordisagce regulating the Fire Department establishes the numer of men allowed to differest fire companies, the Coramittee decided that a change in the ordinance in this respect must first be obtained. The Committee, however, x pressed their opposition to the proporition, as it would make fire companies too large, and create stronger feel ings of jealousy detwoen jes than existed at . Some domen were present, and desired to be ard against the application to grant the square on West Broadway, near Walker street, to Engive Company No. 16, for the ‘erection thereon of an engine hous. They urged that city had fow enough breath places to warrant appropriation in the manner ake: of this square. The Committee stated that thix matter was not yet before them, not having reached them from the other Board. When itcame into their hands they promised a full and ample hearing.

They then started the safe down they stairway, and its weight aud velociy carried it through thy floor below, and into the cellar. The ras cals then lighted a fire of charcoal, ani attsmpted, by heating the pafe, to soften the iron sufliclently to enable them to bore a hole in it large enough to admit of ‘their getting the treasure out of it, but, fortunately, be jore they had fully succeeded in their intentions they be- came alarmed and fled, eaving their tools behind them. On the nigbtof the burglary there were two political meetings hetd in the neighborbood, and it is supposed that the burglars were aware of this, and took advan tage of it to commit the depredation.
