Pittsbuhgh -W YuflUNli Neal. The River and Weather. The river is 10 ceding 6lowly, with 5 (eel water in the canal, and 3 feet on the falls. The weather is still dry and warm, and we have been without a drop cf rain for a week. The Bostona from New Orleans yesterday, reports but 6.Z feet water in the lower part of the river, the Belle Key hard aground at Hen doreon Island.

All the tributaries of the Ohio continue very low. The Mississippi, from Cairo to White River is reported as falling fast, with a good stage of wa ter on all the bars. The Cambria, from St. Louis, reports 7 feet water in the channel of the Mississippi from St. Louis to Cairo, and the river falling.

In the Ohio she reports 7 feet water, and that the Belle Key had succeeded in getting off of Henderson bar. At Pittsburgh last evening there were three feet eight inches water in the channel, and fal ling. At Cincinnati the liver had fallen six inches since last report. The Tobacco Crops. We have been receiving for several days past the most gloomy accounts of the growing crops of Kentucky's leading staple tobacco.

The prevailing dry weather has proved very disastrous to the young plants all over the State, or at least within a range of 200 miles. The backwardness of the season greatly retarded planters, and in many of the richest ections of the State the planting had not even commenced ten days where at the same time last season the planting was nearly all over. It i3 highly necessary, in order to make a full crop, that a portion of it should be planted very early, in order that it may mature and be out of the way before the late plantings "come in." Of course that will be impossible this year, and all the tobacco that is planted must "come in" about the same time, and if even a full crop were planted under such circumstances it would be impossible to save it. A well informed correspondent from Hart county writes us that there has not been a drop of rain there for some time, and, for the present, it is placed beyond a doubt that the tobacoo crop will be very light. The plants are very Bmall, none large enough to set out, and the farmers around are planting their tobacco ground in corn, ia consequence of the dry weather keeping the plants from growing.

Letters fromTaylor county state that fully one half of the tobacco ground in that section will be planted in com; and a farmer from Barren writes us, that but two of his neighbors have planted tobacco at all this season. In Henderson county, we are reliably informed, the plants are very small, though more abundant than at other points, and the crop will undoubtedly be very late. The dry weather that is now prevailing has proved very disastrous, and the pro3pect of even a light crop look gloomy. What effect this is to have upon future prices, we do not pretend to say. The Maysville Eagle of Tuesday evening says that the tebacco in Mason and Bracken counties Is likely to prove to a very great extent, a failure thepresent year, owing to the continued cold and backward spring.

Ii consequence of cold weather, the plants are exceedingly small I and the farming community have been unable to prepafe the soil for plariti g. It seems to be admitted that a good crop cannot now be raised even with favorable weather from this time forward. We have heard of fields intended for to-baoco being planted in com. Another Tea Party. Wo understand that the ladies of Rev.

Mr. Seiion's Methodist Church, design to give a tea-party at the Odd Fellow's Hall next week, commencing Monday evening. The object is to raise funds to aid in co.npleting the beautiful new Church now in process of erection on Third street, between Walnut and Chesnut. From the energy and spirit with which the ladies have entered into the matter, we venture to promise that their tea-party will not only be one of the most admirably managed and most delightful affairs of the kind of the season, but what is a matter of somt consideration, it will be largely profitable. We trust, at any rate, that the liberality of our citizens will make it so.

The Tea Party. The tea-party at the Odd Fellows Hall is nightly attended by large crowds of ladies and gentlemen, all of whom give un-mistakeable signs that their enjoyment could not well be increased. The affair is most admirably managed, and besides the attractions of ihe beautiful and fascinating ladies who serve the delicious refreshments, the visitors are freed from the annoyances of raffles, and can enjoy themselves as they see fit, without being importuned to purchase this or thLt article. All who wish to spend a pleasant evening, should attend the tea-party to-night. Delicious Strawberries.

AVe are indebted to Mrs. Andees, the excellent lady of Capt. An derb, of the steamer Fashion, for the present of some of the largest and finest strawberries we have ever seen or tasted. They were all of unusually large size and of remarkably rich and delicious flavor. Mrs.

Anders takes great pains to properly cultivate her beautiful place, and the perfection to which she has brought her strawberries shows how eminently successful her skill, and care, and labor have proved to be. cute chap at St. Louis has succeeded in raismg several hundred dollars by shipping what he called choice "brandy" to some of the up-iiver towns, and collecting charges to theamount of some 150, from the clerks of the different boats upon which he shipped. The "brandy" when it reached its destination and was examined, proved to be a nasty compound of molasses and whisky. Before the discoveries were made however, the scamp had decamped.

03The steamers Alex Scott and Oregon left New Orleans together last Satuiday evening, for Louisville. Both boats passed Memphis Tuesday evening within two hours of each other, and we learn, by private telegraphic despatches, that each of them had broken a pitman strap below Memphis, and had stopped long enough to make the necessary repairs. alarm of fire yesterdaymorningabout half-past seven o'clock, was occasioned by the burning of the roof on the rear end of the dwelling of Dr. Hampton, corner of Main and Second streets. It caught from the chimney.

Our firemen, as usual, were promptly on the spot, and by their well directed efforts prevented the spread of the flames. Pickpockets in the Train. Persons who are so fortunate as to have their pockets full of money, should take good care to hold on to it. Mr. Chas.

McMeekin, of Oldham county, 'vhile coming to the city in the cats on Tuesday, had his pocket-bork, containing $170, abstracted from his pantaloons pocket. He has, as yet, been unable to find any trace of the villain. Drowned. On the upward trip of the Kentucky liver packet Maj. Barbour, on Monday night, when about ton miles below Madison, Wm.

Vernon, son of W. S. Vernon, Esq of this city, while attempting to descend from tin hurricane deck of the boat, accidentally fell info the river, and passing under the wheel was Dear Sir: You have seen by the proceedings in yesterday's Commonwealth, that the Conven tion has referred the new Constitution to the committee of revision for such amendments as tbey may suggest. That committee, through their chairman, Mr. McHenry, made their first report to day, proposing sundry amendments in the second article.

They were not acted upon, noreven read; but merely ordered to be printed for consideration hereafter. I have however ob tained a sight of them and will giwe you their import: The third section of he second article, as it now stands, requires the election for representa tives 10 De noiuen -on me nrst MondBy ot Au gust, between the hours of 6 o'clock in themorn- mg andseven 0 clrck in the evening," The committee propose to strike out the words I have italicised. The 4th section is now as follows: "No person shall be a representative, who, at thr time of his election, is not a citizen of the United States and hath not attained to the age of twenty-four years, and resided in this State two years next preceding his election, and the last year thereof in the county, town, or city, for which he may be chosen." It is proposed to change the language of this, by striking out the words "and hath" after "United States," and inserting "has" in their place, and also inserting the words "who has not," between the words "and" and "resided." The first part of the 5th section now stands thus: "The General Assembly shall divide the several counties of this Commonwealth into convenient precints, or may delegate such power to such county authorities as they may by the law provide, and elections for Representatives for the several counties entitled to representation shall be held at the places of holding their respective courts, and in the several election pre-cinls into which the counties may be divided." The committee proposed to make it read thus: 'The General Assembly shall divide each county of this Commonwealth into convenient election precincts, or may delegate power to do so to such county authorities as may be designated by law and elections for representatives for the several counties, shall be held at the places of holding their respective courts, In the sixth section (fixing the mode ef appointment) there is a proviso which now Elands as follows: "Provided, That when a county may nothave a sufficient number of qualified voters to entitle it to one Representative, then such county may be joined to some adjacent county orcoun-ties to send one Representative." The committee proposes- to strike out the and "to" alter the word "counties," and insert in its place, "which counties shall." The 8th section provides that "a vote shall have been for sixty days, next precedibg the election, a resident of the precinct in which he offers to vote, and he shall cast his vote in said precinct, and not elsewhere." The committee propose to strike out the words "cast his." Section 11th provides that "Senators and Representatives shall be elected, under the first nppointmont after the adoption of this constitution, in the year every two years thereafter." The committee propose to strike out the words "and every two years thereafter." Tha 13ih section now stands in these wores: "In the apportionment of representation, the number of Representatives in the House of Representatives shall be one hundred, and the number of Senators thirty-eight." The committee purpose to make It read: "the number of Representatives shall be one hundred, aad the number of Senators "thirtv-eight." To the 14th section, which provides for framing senatorial districts, they propose to add this clause: "and where two er more counties compose a district, they shall be adjoining." The 24th section provides, inter alia, that no "session of the General Assembly shall continue beyond sixty days, except by a vote of two-thirds of each house," It is proposed to change this so as to require a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house. In the provision in the 30th section, which forbids the Senate to introduce foreign matters by any of amendment to a revenue bill, the language is proposed to be slightly changed, by making the words "under the color of an amend ment," read "under color of amendment." The first part of section 34 now stands thus: "The General Assembly shall, have power to pass laws to diminish the resources of the.Sink- log now established bylaw, but may pass laws to increase it." After the words "established bylaw," the committee propose to insert "until the debt of the State be paid," and to change the word "it," at the end of the section first quoted, to "Ihem." A proviso of the 3Gth section is as follows: Provided, That the General Assembly may contract debts without submission to the people, oy borrowing money to pay any part ot the publio debt of the Stale, and without making provision in the act authorizing the same for a tax to discharge the debt so contracted, or the interest thereon. The committee propose to strike out the word "public" before "debt," and to strikeout the to the people," where they now stand, and insert them after the word "State." For the Louisville rourier.

Washingtoh, June 5. Senate -Mr. Yulee moved to take up the President's message relative to the Cuban expe dition. He said if it should cause debate he would not press the motion to refer. Mr.

Webster asked how he expected the mo tion to pass without debate. Mr. Yulee. The only question with him was as to when debate should tske place. As Senators, however, appeared desirous of deciding the question, he would not pursue his motion.

Mr- Foote reminded Mi. Yulee that his course on this subject was not exactly consistent. The motion was then laid on the table. Mr. Bradbury endeavored to get his removal resolutions taken up.

Mr. Clay hoped tney would not be. Atter some debate they were laid on the table. The omnibus bill was resumed. Mr.

Whit- comb addressed the Senate, contradicting the statement that he was the author of an amendment sugaesledby Mr, Platte, and modified and accepted by Jett. Davis, lie was on tne contrary opposed to it, because it specially provided for the protection of slave property; he was op posed to any such action, as well as to the Wilmot."

Mr. Jones did not intend to make a speech, but gave notice he would oner a motion which would indicate his position; he moved in lieu of admitting Cali fornia to provide governmedts for New Mexico and Deseret. He would, as an alternative, take the Mtssouri compromise line, but believed to advocate that, was to oppose all settlement of the question. Mr. Dunham proceeded to show that the diffi culty was owing to the North and South not properly understanding each other.

Mr. Johnson, ol lennessee, gave notice he would offer the admission of California, with suitable boundaries, territorial governments, for Utah and New Mexico, to ba admitted as States at such time as may be deemed rational and fair, and provision to be made for the retrocession of the District of Columbia to Maryland. He would not throw himself in tho way by ob structing or defeating a settlement of the ques tion. His object was to preserve harmony, and why can not all sections come together and make a sacrifice on the altar of their common countrv. Mr.

The witness in each of the cases, who was a rival pedlar, made rather lame statement.

Worth. The Green river packet, Gen. Worth, met with an accident Tuesday night while rounding to at Brandenburg, which, we are informed, was very near proving quite disastrous. Fortunately, however, but one person was hurt. A crank of the larboard engine broke, causing the piston rod to burst the cylinder head off, which first hit the steam pipe, and then lodged on the top of the boilers.

One of the cylinder baits flew out, and struck Mr. Hutchinson, the engineer, on the thigh, breaking his leg, and otherwise injuring him. If the steam pipes had bursted quite a number of persons would have been scalded, as the boat was full of passengers The boat abandoned her trip and returned to this port last evening, coming up on one wheel. O0n Monday evening week, a terrible stotm ol wind and hail passed over Jacksonville, Beardstown, Shelbyville, Rushville snd other places in Illinois, in its destructive course pros trating trees and fences, unroofing and teaiing down houses, killing hogs and fowls, destroying entire orchar of fruit treets, cutting up the small grain, and otherwise causing great dam age and desolation. The canvas of Mabie's Circus Pavilion, at Jacksonville, was completely torn to pieces.

UTTo Mr. Marshall, clerk of the Bteamei Bostona, we are indebted for New Orleans papers of the 29 th a copy of the boat's manifest, and a memoranda of river news.

Louisville has commenced a new erowth. which promises to be swift and long continued. Her citizens are awakening to the importance of internal improvements, and are now centering their energies, as they wrll eventually invest lib eral capital upon several railroad projects, which if completed, will strike alieavy blow at (Jincin-naii. At all events, there is now an exhibition of pHblic spirit in Louisville, such as never was hown before. It is felt to the city's heart, and displays it in a thousand forms to the stranger vbo walks the streets, or to the citizen wdo can men were read and referred to the above committee: 1st.

Campbell of submitted a series of fifteen resolutions declaratory of the opening of the convention, referred. Mr. Erwin, of offered a resolution declaraing that the reception of petitions from free States, with'aview to the abolition of slavery, or to impair the rights of slaveholders is a gross subversion of the right of petition, the rightof petition was designed to redress evils, not to inflict them.

Bokton, June 4. France. The debate on the electoiial bill had commen ced, and the hall was densely crowded. Great excitement prevailed. After the presentation ol petitions from all parts of France against the bill, and after the parlimary contest on the question of emergency, it was carried against the Mountain party by 407 to 239 votes.

Gen. Cavnignac, who was first in the list of speakers, ascended the tribune. He rested his opposition to the measure on the letter and spirit of the constitution, which required, as its first principle, univeisal suffrage, and the bill was not to regulate but to destroy that right, besides it was ill-timed and dangerous. Ill-timed because it would have the effect of raising for the next two years insurmountable difficulties in the way of the government, and dangerous because it would serve to consolidate' the hostile party composed of all those who should feel that they had been injustly deprived of privileges tbat had been conferred upon them by ihe constitution. He was listened to with absorbing attention and met with no interruption during his long speech, and when he sat down he was loudly cheered by the whole body.

The next most important orator was Victor Hugo, who had delivered a glowing harangue on universal suffrage on Wednesday. Some sen sation was created by the presentation of a pe tition demanding an appeal to the nation. A correspondent of a leading London paper says there can be no doubt whatever that the cabinet is watching an oppoitunity for suspending the law and placing the country under the yoke of the army. Obstinate forbearance of the peo ple has so tar depnveu toe government ot the long sought pretext for declaring martial law. Several secret manufactories of powder have been discovered.
