RAPID TRAVELLING - The new steam boat "New Philadelphia," performed
her last trip to Albany in 12 hours and 14 minutes, bringing New-York nearer
to Albany now, than Albany was to Troy twenty years ago. We understand that
the Messrs. STEVENS' intend filling up the vacancy left by the North River Company,
and that they expect to have four boats ready by next Spring to run a morning
and evening line. If the improvements in the new boats equal those of the Trenton
and New Philadelphia, we may expect next summer to leave New-York in the morning
and dine at a fashionable house in Albany the same day. — E. Post.

As written in the National Philanthropist proposes the establishment of a
hospital for the intemperate; where friends may place their connexions who are
subject to this species of insanity. He observes that it ought not to be
bridewell,
a workhouse, or a place of punishment, for this would defeat its own object.
But the patients should be subjected to labour for the sake of exercise.
