z.lThei fruit crop OF America has been re-
mstfably fine this season, while In England
n haa heea the smallest that the most experi-
enbef ana obseryant eul.lvator can remem-
hsr:e che Gardeners Magazine says that 1t is
Ntties bsttsrthan no crop at all. Usually In
seasons noted for scanty supplies OF fruit some
iinds Ale plentiful enough to compensate In
soma ,di sost for the general deficiency; but this
yess the failure ,is total. The peach wall is as
basisp ss .5hs5 Orchard; there are almost no
ebaSaes o5 plume, and peara and bush fruits
sse:aamsntabiy scarce. The cause Of this Is
t6efe1cseding cold weather which prevailed
in March aud q greater part OF April. .aq
The papers Of New York are troubled at
fheenormous- death rate Of that city. The
number Of deaths there averages double those
ofsEpndon.: The.;rale Of mortality In New
York. Hfty-ope to the.one' thousand anhabi.
tants, or about, nine hundred and eighteen
deaths week. Paris, With half q million
moro Inhabitants, shows but eight hundred
and nfty-four deaths; Berlin SIX hundred aRd
thirty ty-three; Vienna three hundred and sixty;
Roms tWo hundred and eighteen. The high.
ct average of all these Is that Of Rome,
which is only forty-seven to the one thousand.
Other cities Of Europe, when compared with
New York, show the same state OF facts,
which leaves that city, considering her advan.
tagea of climate and power OF sanitary regu-
lation, tha:most unhealthy city in the world,
without any assignable reason fer being go.
The New York Tribune, In noticing the
appointment of Bishop Bayley, Of Newark, to
the Archbishopric of Baltimore, says: "Bishop
Bayley is a native of this city, and has num-
befs Of friends among all classes and denomi-
nations Of our citizens, who will heartily con-
Rrstulate him upon his elevation to the chiet
ifignitycof the American Catholic Church, and
fslici.ate the people of Baltimore upon the
aoquisltion of prelats so highly cultivated,
genial and vlrtuous. His grandfather, DR..
Richard Bsyley, was surgeon In the British
army In New York, sfterward the first profess
sor Of anatomy in Columbia College, and the
originator Of our quarantine system, and died
Of ship fever In the discharge OF his duty as
physician OF the port DR.. Bsyley's daughter,
Hrs. Seton, founded the congregation Of the
sistersot Charity In the United States. Her
nephew. the present bishop, was an Episcopal
clergyman In this city for some years, aud,
after becoming Catholic priest, was secre-
tary TO Bishop Hughes. To the learning and
accomplishments requisite In his station he
adds q knowledge OF the world and of men,
the most estimable social qualities, an agree
able presence, and remarkable amlabllity."
An enterprising reporter for the New York
Tribune has been investigating the alleged
abuses prscticed on the patients in Blooming
dale Insane Asylum, somewhat In the same
manner that James Greenwood, "the amateur
casual gained practical knowledge of the
interior management of the English poor
houses. Those who remember the articles
written by Greenwood will recollect that, for
the purpose Of gaining his information, he
disguised himself as a panper, and, clothed in
ragy, slept IN the casual wards of various poor
houses, and, With graphic and picturesque
pei, relatsd bis experiences The articles
