Boston runs ahead of Baltimore for hot weather. The highest range of the thermometer in this city was on Wednesday last, when it stood at 92° at 2 P. M. In Boston on the same day, it will be seen by the annexed paragraph, it stood at 9740- —or 5 degrees higher. From the Boston Journal of Thursday Evening. HOT WEATHER.-The weather during the two last days, in this city, has been very warm, and yesterday (Wednesday,) for upwards of an hour, warmer than for many years. On Tuesday, the thermometer when highest stood at 914, and during the night did not fall below 764. Yesterday, at 2 P. M. it stood at 95, at twenty minutes before 3, at 95, and at five minutes before 3, at 974; precisely at 3, (when the wind suddenly changed, from S. W. to N. E.,) at 97, and at half past 3, at 70, being a fall of 27 degrees in half an hour. On looking over my journal for the last ten years, I find the greatest altitude recorded in that time was 944, twice, viz: on July 28, 1832, and July 11th, 1838. Being nearly three degrees less than on yesterday. The greatest heat on record, in Boston, (100,) occurred also on the 11th of July, 1825. Specimens of Female Industry.

The late Rain Storm Does not appear to have reached Albany, and up to Tuesday morning, the sufferings of that city for want of water were still augmenting. The scarcity of water for family use is more general, and has been of greater duration, than before experienced for many years, and perhaps has never been exceeded. Milk and butter have so far failed, in the surrounding country, that some of the neighboring farmers, who in the early part of the season brought butter to market and sold it for one shilling a pound, have within the last week bought the article from the Albany grocers, for their own consumption, at eighteen pence.-N.
