Demonstrate* ik New York.?In New York, one night, in the latter part of last week, they had an imposing apotheosis of tho horrid cnmc of assassination, in the shape of a popular tn bute to the memories of Orslni nnd Picrri, the frustrated assassins of Louis Napoleon. To rend the accounts of the procession, the reports of the speeches, calls to one's mind the red re publican orgies in tho streets of Paris during the revolution of '93.?when everything like order, morals nnd lational decency was lost and swallowed up in that awful outburst of pent up passion. Italians and French, for the most partf composed the meeting. Tho speeches were in glorification of the murderous deed which had been attempted, and assassination was openly advocated as a means of avenging supposed wrongs from rulers. Of course the people of this country, and the better class of adopted citizens, have no sympa thy with such a meeting. On the contrary, much as they may despise the tyrant Napoleon, and all the fraudulent appliances by which ho obtained and holds his power, they can never and will never lend their countenance or sympa thy to such a cowardly deed as that attempted by Orsini and Pierri. The Washington Pa. Exauiseu notices the appearance in that town, of the magic oil man? DeGrath, wc presume, the Knight of the Sugar loaf Ilat The Examiner Uso states its convic tion that "his modesty is beyond all comparison." We have a word about DeGrath ourselves. He succeeded by his over weening modesty and Uriah Heep " 'umblencss" in getting into our good graces to the tune of about thirty odd dol lars. We called on the dilapidated humorist at his oil shop in Philadelphia some months ago, and after a vain attempt to extract our dues from him, expressed to him our decided conviction that he was an unsanctified scoundrel, lie bore our strictures as to his moral status so compla cently, that we promised him as a further token of our regard, a public testimonial of this sort by way or recommendation to the good graces of the quill fraternity. The Sheriffalty.?We observe that there is a new move among the check-mates on the po litical chess board of this bailiwick, in the mat ter of tho Sheriffalty. There was a call, we know not by what or whose authority, in the Tin tit of Saturday, for a convention. We learn also, nuthoratutively, that one of the prominent candidates, will not go into this convention, but will adhere to the independent programme upon which all the candidates started out. So that it is quite probable that we will all continue to bo in the fog until the day of election. About that day we apprehend there will be a dreadful shaking and clanking of thje dry bones. Prepakixo tor Resumption.?We notice that the forllowing resolution has been adopted by Ihc Banks of Richmond. We publish it for tho benefit of all who may be interested in the mat ter : Richmond, April 15th, 1858. "Resolved, That the three Banks of this City, in view of the provisions of the act requiring specie payments, will be constrained to restrict the r receipts of Bank Notes, on and afier tho 1st of Slav, to the issues of the Bank of Virginia and its branches, the Farmers' Bank of Virginia and its Branches, and the Exchange Bank of Vir ginia and its Branches, and of such other Banks as may provide (or the redemption of their cir culation in thjji City." The Currency of tho Banks will be the notes mentioned in the above resolution, with which checks will be paid as heretofore. Important Suroical Operation.?The Wash ington, Pa., Examiner states that, on Thursday, the 8th inst, Dr. Alexander, of Hillsborough, assisted by Dr. Barnett, removed from the axil la, or arin-pit, of Mrs. Henry Konkle, of West Bethlehem township, an adipose, or fatty tu mor, weighing eleven pounds, which had been growing for sixteen years. Mrs. Konkle is a lady about fifty years of age, and has been do ing well since the operation. The patient was under the influence of ether, and the physicians were four and one-half minutes in removing the substance. Tns Hiou Water and its Consequences.? The Baton Rouge Advocate, represents the break in the levee just below the city as quite * disastrous one. At last accounts the breach was gradually extending, but Col. Hebert, the State Engineer, thinks that the crevasee can be closed before the expiration of the present week. The Advocate says: Tho sugar house of Jatnes Mcllattan has nearly been reached by the overflow, and a large portion of his cane is under water. At present C. G. Mcllattan is the largest sufferer, the wa ter having run over nearly all the lowlands be tween his sugar house and the river, and back ed round the base of the hill on which his buil dings are erected, and begun its encroachments on the plantation of Mr. Hall, above. The woods in the rear of all the coast plantation be low is filling up rapidly as far down as Man chac. The people on tho highlands are endeav oring to get their stock out of danger, but it is feared large losses will be sustaiued in cattle, hoes, sheeps, etc. Hundreds of acres of young cane are under water, but experienced men say it will not be ? destroyed if the water can be shut off within the m-xt three or four days. The cost of clo sing the break can at present be set down as at leaast $2Q,000; and if it is not done speedily, too the loss to.the .planters below will" bo hundreds ?of thousands. _ Tub contemplated excursion of the steamer Ericsson to the Medeteranean, seems to have been abandoned, not more than half a dozen berths having been taktn up on the 14th. The Ericsson was to have sailed on the 1st of May.? :She is'nfiw advertised .to. leave ou the 8th of MojMor Crawo [For the In?c!llgen?r.] THE GAS. To a disinterested party, and such the writer claims to be, being neither a consumer of gas, nor j"et having gas stock, it appears that tho authors in the present movement for the reduc tion of the price of gas, aim not so much nt the accomplishment of that object, ?R ot the destruction and total ruin of the Gas, Compa nay. The facts, as developed in this controver sy; will, we think, justify this conclusion. It :* a well known fact that of all the enterprises in which our public spirited citizens have engaged during the past few years, and which have turned out ruinous and unsuccessful experi j incuts, gas stock alone furnishes the only ex : ample of any successful speculation in which i either our city or citizens have engaged. Had ! the various enterprises, which could easily bo ' numerated, succeeded, they would have been a ! public good, as well as contribute to individual i benefit The latter, no doubt, was the leading | object, but to say this was their only motive? I to affirm theiraims were only sorded and selfish, i and that they were not actuated by a noblo : public spirit, would be a reflection on their char 1 acter, os unjust ns it ia ungenerous. Hut who i has appreciated their well intended o H'orls ?? ! When has any commiseration been shown for '? the heavy losses sustained? Taking tho pres i ent opposition to the Gas Company Jas an index I to public feeling, it shows how a generous pub lic appreciates and rewards the efforts of those who labor for its gmxl 1 The Gas Compoy in its first inception had to struggle for existence. Many of our citizens of wealth and capital, stood aloof, regarding it as a doubtful experi ment and of uncertain expediency, and they therefore refused to have anything to do with it. The facts connected with the early history of the gas company will show in what light it was then regarded. After the city council had agreed to take three tenths of the entire stock, and after canvassing the city, and keeping the stock books open as long as the charter would allow, only one-fifth of the stock was taken by the citizens, and* the whole th'ng would have been a failure but for the well-timed action of a single individ ual, John \V. Gill. These facts, which are fami liar to most of your readers, are suggestive. They show that the spirit of hostility with which the infant company had to contend still exists. Then it acted on tlie grotinds of suspicion, alone. But tho successful operations of the company liaving shown this to he a chimera, and some of its early opponents feeling chagrined at their own want of foresight in refusing to take gas stuck, the opposition now changes its form and niodo of attack?it would destroy the gas company bi cause il has been successful, and paid its stock holder* a fair dividend on the capital invested! The moral sense of the community would pro vent it from being guilty of acts of injustice to ward public benefactors?f?r tho gas is both a pubiic and private benefit?and we cannot but think, therefore, that our citizens have been misled?that there has been wire-working be hind the curtain, and that the chief movers in this opposition have yet to make their "denoue ment." Our conjecture, however, may or may not be true, though it would seem to follow naturally enough from the agreement Hut let us now look the "oppressive monoply" full in the face. If tile company has no power to compel any one to take the gas who does not want it, if the consumer is at liberty to shut off whenever lie becomes dissatisfied with the quality of the gas, or tlie price at which it is sold : anu^if the gas at ils present cost, is really a cheaper and a bel ter light than tallow dips or carbon oil, where is the oppression, and in what does it consist? What difference ought it to make to the consum er whether the first cost of gas is two cents or two dollars per 1000 feet, provide the company furnishes him wiih a cheaper light than ho can procure elsewhere? If gas can be manufactur ed at 17 cents per 1000 feet, and if tho compo. ny has been realizing 57 1-2 percent on tho net capital invested?and at this rale it ought to be Higher 200 per cent? there is no doubt that without solicitation, it would make the ne cessary reduction. Now, that such is not the fact, we have tlie testimony of Col. Wheat and Messrs. MeUluney and Fitzhugh?lien whose ability to investigate the matter no one will dis pute, and whose character for truth and probity is too well known to need any commendation from your correspondent. They had access to the books of the company, and every oppbvtu tv to sift the matter to its foundation. And it is reasonable to suppose they would do so under existing circumstances. What is the result of their investigation? They have published to the world "that the actual dividends, including the stock dividend, up to this date, average but 15 1-7 per cent, on tlie original capital stock, while no allowance is made for tho deterioration in the works, metres, <fcc., and that the depreciation averages from 5 to 100 per cent per annum." This statement, involv ing the sagacity and veracity of gentlemen who stand high in the public estimation, and who could have no motive to deceive it, if they wore capable of such an unworthy act, we regard as true and reliable, and ought, therefore, to be re ceived as such by the gas consumers. Many of them have expressed a willingness to allow the company 15 or 20 per cent on thu capital in vested, and yet when they have the ' "??arest evi dence the gas has not paid what they i hemselves allow, and still persist in their dema< Is to liavo the price of gas reduced, is to lie i ' 'insistent with themselves, and to demand the r> tuction at the expense of the very existence . f the gas company, which seems to be the object aimed at. by the chief movers in this matter. So at least it appears to Obsebvek. [For the Intelligencer.] Gas Aoain.?Permit me to say, in reply to H., that not being versed in patent medicines, I do not know what profits are derived from them. But there is no mystery about tlie cost of gas. Any one who chooses may arrive at that The Pittsburgh gas company supplies gas (cheapur than any other in this country) at $1.70. If it costs but 27 cents that company must make a profit, of some 500 per cent! But from its pub lished statements, its profits are lets than one twentieth part of 500 per cent. Can H. explain thir-? If there bo no reason (as II. supposes,) why water rents should be higher here than in Pitts burgh, why not reform what must be, in bis opinion, an abuse; especially as water is neces sary to all, whereas gas is only used by a small portion of the community? Q. High Waters in Arkansas.?Tho edjtoriai correspondent of the Searcy Kagle, writing from Clinton, Ark., says:?The nat?irs have been higher here than ever known by the oldest in habitant An old Indian squaw, traditions say knew it about half an inch higher once before. The town of Clinton was completely inundated. Tlie damage done to farmn nnd stock, to say nothing of the injury from wishes, is enormous. The entire live-stock, hones, cows, liogc, sheep, etc., on many farms were destroyed. Families, in many instances were roused by the water ri sing in their beds, and made their escape on ralts and floats to the bills, so sudden was this rise. A correspondent of the Pittsburgh Dispatch states that a shanghai hen, belonging to Mr. Thos. Coffee, of Wash. Co., Pa., laid an egg re cently, which measured twelve inches in cir cumference. We suspect she laid that egg on the 1st of April, as her contribution to tho wonderments of "all fools doy." Siaverv is Delaware.?The Peninsular . 2?eu>?, published at Milford, Del., comes out in a long editorial article for the abolition of slavery in that State. In order to make good its cause, it institutes a comparison between Newcastle | and Sussex counties, one free and the other ! slave. In ttio former, improved farm land is j worth over fifty-three dollars per acre, while in ! the latter, similar land is worth but from seven to eight dollars per ncre. It cites the following cases as showing how slavery repels population: "About three years ago a band of three hun dred Swiss emigrants arrived in Now York with all their arrangements made to settle in Delaware. They were farmers, with money to buy land, and hearing that land was cheap in Delaware?a State settled by their fathers?they concluded to settle there; but linding, on their I arrival, that Delaware was a slave State they [passed us by, settled in Ohio, and helped to ; augment the wealth of that young giant of tho I Union." The Xeirs proposes a remedy thus? "Now, if the people of Delaware, at the next ! session of the Legislature, will pass an net that alter the following fourth of July, all children j born or brought into tho State shall be free at the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, it will give Delaware the character of a free State at once, alfect no slaveholder seriously in his property, and bring down into Iventand Sussex a rush of emigration from the industrious freemen of the adjoining States. Land here will at once com-1 mund advanced prices, and there will spring into being among us a spirit of enterprise to which we are yet strangers. We have thought much and long of this matter, and can show that an act of the nature mentioned above would on the very day it is placed oil tho statute hook' increase tho value of the real estate of Delaware fne millions of dollars! It would give an im pulse to our great public works which we are now struggling almost against hope to accom plish, and instead of tho crushing inertia which is now resting on us we shall soon realize tho lite, nctivity, and prosperity which now charac terizes the new States of the great north-west." H nAT a Woman Thinks about iiek Rights. A correspondent of tho N. Y. Post, says:?Al low mo to enclose you an extract from a private letter written by a lady, in regard that much ? cxed question, '"Woman's rights and wrongs." Ft speaks for itself, I think, and needs no intro duction or apology: " As for 'woman's rights,' I have a strong be lief in them, mid insist upon them, as you know, but I never expect to insist upon those which will almost certainly supersede such as she possesses now. I don't believe, for instance that when women go to the polls to vote, men will run around to get a carriage for them, if it chances to t>e raining, or if,she differs from them in politics; and 1 prefer the right to such atten tions, to the privilege of voting. I have every right for which I have any desire, thank Hea ven! I have the right to be taken aire of, mid guarded, and comforted, and protected from privation, and of sharing my husband's inter ests, with which I have 110 right* that conliict. What a lively time we should have if wo disa greed in politics, or party, or principles; anil how charming a woman would look nursing a j baby and reading or writing political articles. I tnink it would be quite awlul to haven wo man kept from going to vote by such a cause as dotianed Curtis from delivering his lecture in Philadelphia, when Bcecher supplied his place and gave the reason so frankly. Ves, I believe in the legal changes to protect unhappily-mar ried women and all that, but voting! If my hus band ever advocates my voting, I shall be sure he wants to kill me off. As if I didn't have enough to do and think about without posting myself up in ihealfairs of the nation, for whose management men were specially created! If not, I wondor what ia tho use of thein." " . Cub em. Tiib Labor Qustion in tiik Si.avr States.? rhe German population of St. Louis have con tributed very largely to the discussion of the economical relations of slavery, which is now producing its legitimate fruits in the free labor victories of Missouri. Wherever that class of our foreign population settle, the same result will follow. Naturally or a speculative turn uf mind, and disposed by character as well as ex perience, to dislike slavery in all its forms, they will discuss it wherever they are? nnd discus sion is certain to end in n public conviction of Its impolicy and its ruinous effects upon the so ciety in which its exists. 1 he Germans of Texas, nsour readersalready know are the open and zealous advocates of tree labor, and they are already so strong, as to leave little doubt that, whener a now State shall be formed in Western Texas, it will be a free state. In Baltimore a German paper, called the Baltimore Wicker, opposes slavery, and even Iroin New Orleans we receive tho jDeutsche Zri a daily Journal which warmly cumincnds Senator Seward's speech on the Kansas contro versy, and espouses the view which it presents. It cd mm ends the speech as having strongly ami coldly set forth the position and principles of the north, without either insulting or offending the south, and predicts that the struggle will be carried to a coclusion satisfactory to both sec tions, if the ablest and best men in both sections, will come forward candidly and fairly to its dis cussion.? [Mo. Democrut. TnojiAs II. Bknton in iiis Coffin.?The St. Louis Democrat thus describes the appearance of the coffins which contained the remains of the the aged Benton and his young grandchild : "By his side was the little' coffin containing the body of the statesman's grandchild, McDow el Jones. Each body was enclosed in an air tight zinc case, which was laid within a mahoK nny coffin. A lid was raised so as to allow nlends to look through a glnss on the faces of the dead The face of the Great Missourian wore that expression or majestic placidity which was habitual to him in lire.

Money Market.l Money continues to be abundant; it anything , it grows easier. Largo amounts can now be , hail bv the broker* on first class securities at 4a4 1-3 porccnt; and tht prevailing opinion in the street seenis to be that there can be no change for the worse until the fall trade setsI in. Even then there is no likelihood of the commer cial movement being of sufficient magnitude to absorb any very large portion of the capital now lying idle at the Qnancia! centres, and the impression gains ground that for innny months it must find its principal employment jn ti e stock market. The strong market of y&Rterdaj, held good throughout the day to-day, in spite ol efforts bv the bear party to depress prices. The business done at the boards, though not large, was a fair average for dull times. It was noticed that most of the buying was confined to the commission houses. This steady J'10"", moderate buying by the outside public has al ready caused so great a scarcity of stocks that as much as one per cent is freely offered Tor a thirty duv option to deliver. 1 his condition o the market is very favorable for a sudden and violent upward movement; it only seems to need the first impulse to renew the scenes ot last February. The outside speculators arc waiting till the impulse is given, and when it is will buy freely at much higher prices than those ruling to-day. Accounts from several of tlio railroads indicate an improved business for April, notwithstanding the dull times. [Vrom the Times.] Money is cheap and abundant, on snort loan, today; Exchange dull; Cotton buoyant with large sales, and Stocks Unn on ft moderate busi ness. The absence of advices from the over-due steamer at Halifax was no check upon the buy era of Cotton, who took about 8,000 hales at very full prices. As the news will probably be at hand in season for this paper, our readers will know with what sort of judgment the trade have anticipated it At all events thoro is evidently a crowing confidence in the staple, notwithstand ing the terrible shock to consumption by the crisis of last Fall, as the season advn'.ccs. lho Southern markets are nearly all reported acme. The purchasers being mostly destined for Eng land, the effect upon exchange is to dull the rates on London, which we quote J a J per cent, weaker than on Monday; business in the first class names, 108 3-t per cent; the ex rcine. 108 3 4al09. [Prom the Trlbunc.l The tone of the Stock Market was very dull at the morning's board, and thero was but Utile disposition on the part of speculators to operate to any extent, either for the rise or fall. It was evident, however, that prices had touched a sub stratum of firmness, and although quotations hung through the session at about the closing quotations of yesterday, there was an appcar anco of sluggish strength which Indicated an improving tendency on ft general scale, hinco the decline in Erie yesterday, the stock has been more plentiful in the street, but the movements of the short interest are calculated to bring about the satno scarcity again, as soon as the opposing party decide to take ndvalitage of the pccultar co-idition of the market. The sales at the Fust Board show but slight variation in leading stocks, and the transactions were not large in any par ticular security.
