BISHOP DoANE.

BISHOP D0ANE.
One of the most prominent topics of the day, in
this region is the recent srposs of the private fnan-
cial affairs of Bishop Doane, of New Jersey As
might have been expected, the business has been
eagerly seized upon by scoffers for the purpose of
casting rdicule upon the church and profession to
which the reverend gentleman belongs. The real
facts in the case are not generally known The
Bishop, like many others of his sacred calling, is
not an experienced man of the world. His zeal for
the advancement of the Episcopal church, and the
success of large enterprises for the moral and intel
lectual advancement of the youth of the State in
which he has lived, has not been sufficiently bal
anced by Wall street discretion that is the whole
explanation of this affair. No man dare accuse
Bishop Doane of any thing like fraudulent dealing
Burlington; and, falling into the hands of sharpers
and usurers, he has paid the usual penalty. That's
all. have no doubt that, finally this matter will
be SO adjusted to redeem the Bishop from all re-
proach.
A NEW PHILOSOPHICAL SECT.
This good State of New York is advancing rapid
ly to the highest pitch Of civilization; that is to say,
if the number and bizarreie of its philosophical
sects afford any test of its progress. Madison
county gives us the last phase of modern philoso-
ply. One hundred and forty persons, of whom
only sixty are men, have taken farm, consisting
of about three hundred acres, in that delectable
gon, and claiming perfect freedom from all liability
to sin, have just opened an amateur paradise. Mr..
John H. Noyes, graduate of New Haven, is the
founder and leader.
DRAMATIC READINGS.
The dramatic readings of Mrs. Fanny Kemble
Butler have produced great Shakesperean revival
in the fashionable taubourgs of this delightful me-
tropois. All around Union square and Fourteenth
street the study Of the greatest of dramatsts is
prosecuted with the greatest possible diligence and
really astounding success. Parlor readings are
plenty as blackberries. Dry-goods clerks deal out
tragedy with every yard of mousseline and
pale faced young ladies' annihiate you everywhere
by whole scenes from the " Tempest" or A Mid
looms Roman punch and Howe's Shakespeare are
swallowed together ard almost every morning WIS.,
it is an undress rehearsal.
THE CHOLERA.
To-day we have an increased number of cases of
cholera thirty-six and nineteen deaths. There
can be no doubt that malignant and fatal dis
ease is amongst us. There is a good deal of angry
and excited discussion about the modes of treat
ment adopted in the hospitals into which mean to
inquire and state the result Thus far as you per-
ceive the number Of is very small, compared
with the vast population of this city; and it is to be
borne in mind that always at this season of the
year there are many cases of bowel complaint which
terminate fatally.
MONEY MARKEr.
Wall street is in excellent spirits. Real tangible
glitterng gold from California, has at last dazzled
our eyes, and the cholera panic subsidies. Hence
the dealers in money lift up their hands with reoic-
ing. Stocks to-day went up charmingly.
ANOTHER FLOATING PALACE.
The " New World,n another of those magnih-
cent steamboats, which navigate the Hudson, and
now and then explode or run into schooner, made
her first trip to Albany this day. This is really one
Of the most marvellous conglomerations of skill
science, gliding, upholstery, painting, luxury
boilers, and crockery, ever propelled from the
wharves Of New York. 1t is day boat, and the
arrangements for the comfort Of the passengers
have never been surpassed One great improve.
ment has been introduced, the adoption of the plap
followed in the boats on the Rhine, by which par.
ties can secure private table, call for any refresh
ments they please, and procure the same attendance
as at one Of our best city restaurants. q.
