Our Boston correspondent states that June has been re- 

 markable for the small quantity of rain which has fallen. But 

 on the 1st of July the rain fell in torrents, which in a short time 

 raised the pluviameter to 1*44 of an inch. This rain after so 

 long a drought has been a great relief to that town and neigh- 

 bourhood. The hot weather continues : — July 3. Ther. 72°. 



An immense quantity of Ladybirds (Coccinella) have fallen 

 in every part of the town, and the fishermen say that at sea 

 they were covered with them. — Brighton Gazette. [They have 

 appeared also in extraordinary abundance in and about Lon- 

 don.— July 28.]
