A great calamity ha* befallen this whole re
gion of country, in the very serious injury the
new wheat crop has sustained by daily rains,
hot sans at Intervals, and sultry weather, for a
week past Commencing with about, three
quarters of tho crop in the Golds (mostly cut)
and the accounts we receive now from every
direction that the wheat is very badly grown,
are truly melancholy. What tho consequence
will be, l will qot presumo to predict. Uite ef
fect will be produced at any rate, that should
have an influence upon good flour iiow .qu
hand; it will postpone the threshing and mar.
keting of new wheat, to any considerable ex-
tent, for some weeks, and choice flour must, I
think, lipcomo scare before suppliea from new
wheat can reach market to auy considerable
extent; and If a largo portion .of tbe uew wheat
is to be budiy grown, old flour must have a

by bis timely interference from Newbery and
Griffiths, and Burns from gauging ale firkins
and filling u premature grave.
There had been a certain kind iif patronage
of literary men by the Prime Ministers of this
country before Sir Robert Peel set an example
example which libs since been imitated (though
somewhat indifferently) by Lord Melbourne and
Lord John Russell. But tho patronage, though
honor to hia country be Is indebted to Sir Rob

owe tho pensions they eryoy to the same friend

was bestowed by him ou Dr. Buckland.
In short, while the prominent farts and fen
turos of Sir Robert. Peel’s life and character
took him out of that world within which it is
our placo to expatiate, ha was yet linked to it

tial approbation of tho public should .assume,
he thought, the shape of public pensions for
services rendered. When tlus was said, the
statesman by wbopi it was uttered was not in
power. Our readers know that we do nonex
act ly agree in view with this proposition of bia
—bat it may be recorded to bis honor that
when;.two jean .afterwards,, hei upu In ppwer,
ho nobly illustrated the sentiments announced
on that "occasion. Sir Walter Scptt was dead
—bat many of the great men who tad started
and run the race with him were yet alive.—
Scu’hey received a pension of £300 a year,
and was offered a barc'nctcy; Wordsworth re
ceived a pension of the saine amount; JfflSO a
year was given to James Montgomery; and
during Sir Robert’s second administration, £200
s’year was bestowed cm Mr. Tytler, £200 a
year on Mr. Tennyson, £200' a year on Mr.'
McCulloch, snd £100 a year on the widow of
Thomas Hood. Frances Brown, the blind
poetess, whose tooching story it familiar to the
readers of the Athenmnm, received also a pen-
sion at bis hands. Hjs patronaga was extend
ed to the children of persona eminent in liters,
tare. For the sons of Mrs. Homans he found
places under the Crown, which they still en
joy ; and the first appointment of hia first ad
ministration was given lo a son of Allan Con-
ningham. ] .....
Sir Robert’s loro of the fine arts were even
more fervid than hia predilection for literatore.
He materially assisted in tbs purchase for the
nation of the Angerstein Collection; and when
the National Gallery was established, bo was
always lending the weight of bis influence to
further acquisitions. Some of the moot rains-
ble of the recent pore bases were' made daring

ration of the building on. Conti street, and the j
>ack buildings.—was entirely destroyed. The
new unfinished addition on the south of Royal
street was also consumed. Iu the third story
of this part the fire commenced, and beyond
question was the set of an incendiary. It: is
stated that the man on the city belfry, which
is not two hundred yards distaut, saw the com
mencement of the flames when they were not.
larger than one’s hand, and also the person who
started them. The third story of the building
in which it began had no communication with
the lower stories, and np inode was apparent
by which an t.icendiary could hare got to it
from the street It was also secure from in-
gress from the adjoining stablea. The only
easy mode of reaching it was from. the mqin
part of the Mansion House, and it is thus in
ferred that tlie inceodfaiy mpst have gone from
that direction. If this be so, it seems strange
that some means could not have been adopted
for his arrest The flames soou communicated
to the upper stories of the principal building,
and in a very brief time all the south-west wing
was (n an intense blaze. By four o’clock there
was no hope of saving the house, and ths ef
forts pf the firemen were directed to’ preserve
the adjoining tenements, which happily they
succeeded In effecting. The waif oftli'p house
adjoining the livery stable of Mr. Vau Epps,
foil outward on tliaj boilding, end crushed in
the north-west corner oT its roof. Save this, ft
received np essential damage. During tho Are
an extremely heavy rain fell for tin hoar or more,
and eontribn'ted materially. in checking the
ffsitfes, t The wind aisc arose from the South,
and Stowed quite severely for a short time.—
Happily it luUed soon,' or perhaps more proper-
ty wootd baVO been destroyed. The '
have no means of ascertaining exactly. Of
the ex'pepetpe furniture in tire InahsTon Hi
very little was raved. The insurance pu the
building, we are reformed, is 837,080, and on
the furniture, 820,000—most of it, we believe,
on polities in the city officci.
Every thing in the postoffice, (which was in
the basement of the bnildiog,) was raved and
conveyed to,, the armory, where by breakfast
time yesterday, the clerks were hard at work
distributing the New Orleans mail, u though
nothing had happened. The city is now with
out a large hotel, both of those we had having
been entirely consumed within the period of a
few weeks and both, beyond all doubt, By the
bands of incendiaries.
After the above wu in type we learned that
a man, calling himself Dr. J. Mozart, a com
doctor, was arrested yesterday under the accu
sation of larceny. In Iris possession were fonhd
a lot of skeleton keys, a gold thimble, with the
words “Mobdiia Cullnm” engraved on it, two
silver spoons and a number of knives marked
“Mansion House.” The name on .the thimble
is that of the daughters of Mr. Cofiuro', propri
etor of the Mansion House. It is raid that
this man' -pat np” at tire Mansion House, snd
tonre nspidoa is entertained that he knows
pretty well how that building was sat pa fiat.

It most not be imagined that the attraction,
towards the mines pf California ia eontiuod to
the Coited States, or to this continent,. There
is in our recent Havana papers, an amusing ac-
count of a party of about thirty Freuchmen
who railed from MarcciUes for San Franeiaco,
on their way to, the mines,- On touching at
Rio Janeiro twenty-two of them became alarm,
ed at the danger of doubling Gape Horn, and
encountering the cxccFsive cold of. tbs high 1st,
itades. They determined to leave the ship anti
traverse tho country by land, and strike thu
Pacific shoot Valparaiso. They dulisrked at
Buenos. Ayr**, and plU|igcd boldly into the vast'
Pampas of. the Argentine Republic. At first
they took lionet, but became soon so excor
iated that they abandoned them and, took to’
carts. This they foupd too slow, and finally
concluded to lake it on foot Each man was
armed with a rifle, and they made a merry hunt
of!(;. jiving on every variety of game, which
they liberally divided with the rnneheros on tire
vvay, with whom they made themselves merry.
In short, after a march of more then two months,'
they arrived ufo and sound at; Meudoza, nec’r
the'eastern foot of tfoe Cordilleras. Here ths
inhabitants werq astonishH. to see strkngors
emerge from tire wilderness, receiving then:
with great kindness aud hospitality; and after
passing a few daya in' ffayety and repose, they
crossed, tip ridge,of the Andes, and arrivad at
VaTpariso. But they here found that the ship'
they expected to find waiting for them had gone
on, after waiting for them a month.
