A correspondent Of Tie Cincinnati Cfszette,
writing from Now York, gives tbs following
inkling of the progress" Of aristocracy in
Gotham:
The aristocracy here do not patronize cheap
th.satres, operas or concerts, and hence to Sc
c,rs ti,.>ir patronage, high prices are fixed for
III rerforma, -ces calculated to draw, and thus
the upper and middle classes are kept apart.
There is a great deal lore of this feeling in
New York, than people wou.HH suppose could
have been obtained in this country, ana IL Is
steadily, if not rapidly increasing. The .--ts'
liveried servant made his appearance in New
York only few years ago, and now every
fashionable family is attended by men in liv-
ery. The press met the innovation upon Re-
publican society, with most cutting gebukes,
but this ayailed but little, and families, whose
gcncalogy it would not do to trace, now live In
a style and make display as great as the
first nobility Of England The practice is
contagious, and YOU may prepare for its appear
ance in Cincinnati. Indeed, the only wonder
Is that the ladies of Cincinnati have not kept
more closely to their New York neighbors in
this respect.
As matter Of interest to fashionable folks,
/ will state that the custom of wearing head
dresses at concerts and the opera has been
almost entirely abandoned here. The ladies
now instead Of artistically dressed heads and
fancy hoods, display their fashionable bonnets.
The change is, / think, an improvement, and
it will save your lady readers who alke to
keep Up with the fashions, of the day. no Mtle
trouble in dressing for such entertainments

So The Highfyer passed up in good time
yesterday morning, having lett St. Louis or
Sunday. Why do not the officers leave us
papers? Noticing as we do these Louisville
and st. Louis packets daily, and each one
about twice week, the clerks should see that
We receive at least the compli nent of papers
in return, especially as we receive no more
substantial compliment from the company for
our Kindness.
80 All the rivers above appear to have
been rising the last few days, and still fur
Their rise may he expected here.
- The fast packet Fashion may be ex-
pected here from st. Louis early this morning,
for Louisville. Mr. Clark and Cy. Drew, ir.,
of the Office, will make passengers comforta-
bic.
- The swift and elegant Rainbow may
be expected down this morning and after
short absence to Henderson, will start to Louis
vile again. We need not tell those who have
business up the river, that the Rainbow will
take them to Louisville or any intermediate
point swiftly and comfortably. Capt Holcrof
is an experienced and popular officer, while
Mr.. Hueston, of the Office, will give his per-
sonal attention to passengers.
- The Southerner did not get down till
yesterday afternoon. She had good trip of
passengers.
- - Two stern wheelers passed Evansville
yesterday linked together, and with three
heavily laden bargcs in tow. When turning
the bend below, from difficulty in handling,
they ran into or drifted against the bank
5 They got out after short delay, and proceeded
down.
- Yesterday was dull day at the wharf
But few boats, and they made short stoppages.

FIRE ExclTEMENr.-The boreing
after water in Canal Street, has been
entirely thrown in the shade. as a
source Of speculation, and excitement
for the Artesians and others; now
1.-The fire Of Saturday night" and the
paid fire department, entirely engross
the attention of the Crescent City edi-
tors. Column, after column. on this
subject, appear daily. and the war has
got to be as warm as tha all consum-
ing Ere itself. Gentlemen, are going
IN daily, to show their hands, and pay
the editors to put in long communica-
tions. on the subject of fire." to the
enlightenment Of the people whilst
the T. Delta,(newspapor)stands aloofas
usual, throwing water on the excite
ment, in loaded columns, tabled
" Fraud, Gross outrage. corruption. in
the Council ETC."
The Fire question in Camp, is get-
ting to be as great bore. as the water
question in Canal whilst the "great
squirt" stands aloof and laughs like a
witching airt, at the mischief she has
done.

PUBLIC RoADs.-The Police Jury
# this Parish. have long complained
Of the present unjust method of work.
ing the public roads; and as it is moi
equal in its bearing as may be shown
new powers should be granted by the
legislature. so as to put the poor man
with his few acres, on an equality with
the rich man, owning thousands Of
acres. The road and levee laws in
force on the coast, to protect the coun-
try from inundation do not extend in
their operation to the interior the con-
sequence is. that largo laud-holders,
many of whom are non residents have
the roads worked, and bridges made,
at the cost of the man who is tilling
the soil with a few hands and hereby
is he enriched at the expense ofothers.
