! New YORK, Sept. rs.
The cool weather has driven into camp tn
latest lingerers at the summer resorts, and tn
whole army of fashion being now withdraw
from the provinces" is preparing for bril-
liant fall and winter campaign at home. PEG
pie talk of hard times, and the fancies in Wal
street have just received smart shock from
the New York and New Haven expose but
nevertheless, the theatres and other places o
amusement are drawing, in the aggregate
about $4,000 per night, from the pockets o
our light-hearted population. Thousands art
won and lost daily on the National Race
Course, and if commercial disaster is staring
in the face. we meet its frowns like laugh
ing philosophers.
A great loss has been sustained by the Pro
testant Episcopal church of this diocess, in the
death of Bishop Wainwright, who expired at
o'clock p. NJ. on the 29th instant, after
about months illness. He was in the first
instance attacked with bilious remittent fe.
yer, which subsequently, assumed typhoid
character. Bishop Wainwright was an En-.
glishman. He was born in Liverpool, in 1893
and was therefore, in his sixty-sccond year at
the time of his death. By this event the Epis-
copalians of the docess are again left without
Bishop, and another provisional appointment
becomes necessary. 1t is not unlikely that the
vacant mitre will fall to the lot of the Rev.
DR.. Vinton, of Brooklyn.
Death has claimed victim from the press
as well as from the church, during the present
week. Mr.. Samuel Nichols, editor and lin
part proprietor of the Sunday Mercury, was
fatally injured on Monday night, in consc-
quence Of missing his footing while attempt
ing to get into a city Railroad car. The We
hcle was in motion and poor Nichols falling
under the grooved wheel, was so fearfufIy
mangled that he died in about nine hours after
the accident. His remains were inferred on
Thursday, in Greenwood, large number of
his fellow-citizens of all classes and professions
attending the body to the grave. Mr.. Mich
OILS was perhaps the best theatrical critic in
New York, man of high integrity and of the
most kindly and benevolent disposition. Only
the day before the catastrophe, he was talking
of writing strong article against the folly and
madness of attempting to mount the forward
platform of a car while under way and yet
strange to say, this very act of tcmerity was
tho cause or his death. Mr.. n lchols was in his
44th year.
Our harbor presents quite gay appearance
just now, in consequence Of the presence of
three French frigates, the Acheron, Ipheginie,
and Penelope. They are all from ST. Pierre,
Newfoundland, and have been cruising off the
Banks for the protection of the French fish
cries, it is said. 1t is quite as likely, however,
that they are on the lookout for Russian prizes.
The Acheron is steam frigatc-the Penelope
and the Ipheginie are sailing vessels, carrying
respectively forty and sixty guns. Commo-
dore Mazeres commands the squadron, which
has just put into this port for provisions and
repairs. They will probably remain here two
or three weeks.
The political leaders of every stripe are in
dustriously stirring the political cauldron-t
The nomination of Clark and Raymond, as the
Wing candidates for Governor and Lieutenant
Governor, is considered Free Soil triumph
1t is said the Know Nothings will support the
Wing ticket, but of this I-"know nothing.
The confusion of tongues in the tower of Babel
was not finer sample of discord than is the
conflict of political factions and opinions in
the State of New York. There are at least
ten distinct organizations in the field, and
here is but one subject upon which they agree
viz: that the possession of Office is the most
blessed of all political consummations
There are six murder cases on the calendar
# the Court of Sessions for the October Term.
Or. Graham, of New Orleans, who killed Col.
.oring at the st. Nicholas Hotel, about two
nonths ago, will be tried some time during the
ERIN for that offence. His counsel will at
empt to show that COL Loring was the as
ailant, and hopes to obtain verdict of " JUS
liable homicide" But if the testimony ad- s
uccd on the trial should be identical with that ,
iven on the coroner's inquest, such result is
npossibe. DR.. Graham is said to be very {
ealthy, and if justice were commodity to {
e bought and sold, might possibly escape pun
hment.
