An ss Angel (:abrieI,, Riot.

1t appears by late advices from Demarara West
Indies) that Orr the lunatic who calls himself the
Angel Gabriel, had succeeded in raising an excite
ment with his anti-Pope street lectures. he took
advantage of an existing feud between the negro
population and the Portuguese immigrants, most
of whom are Catholics and stimulated an excite
ment against the latter that ultimately broke out
into active hostility and resulted in the plaging
and demolition Of the shops of the Portuguese ira
ders of the city. This occurred on the 18th ult,
and was Immediately followed by like disturbances
in the country throughout the colony, melted by
emissaries from the town. Orr had been arrested
for sedition, and committed for trial in April
The disturbances in the country seem to have
been quite serious, as the Georgetown Gazette
speaks of the loss Of many lives while in the town,
though the Portuguese were assailed by men, wo-
men, and children, with cries Of Down with the
Portuguese, down with the Popep 1t il alleged
that they exhibited very considerable forbear-
ance; and that however much they may have been
annoyed, they did not commit any breach of the
peace in resenting the insults offered to them"
Detschments of the second West India regiment
were sent in steamers 70 Berbiee and up the river
as far as the Great Diamond plantation. The latter
had returned with thirty prisoners The former
remained to support the civil power at Fort Csnjo.
Orr is a native of Demarara, and on bis return
TO the colony took up his abode with his mother in
Georgetown.

A RICH SERxoS--Where is the man with his
harp Of q thousand strings,
The following rich extract from sermon will-be
recognised at glance by some Of our readers here
at home. It's loses much Of its humor, because we
cannot put in print the sing song style and appro-
pirate gestures that accompany it 4
My friends, sin makes the purtiest young man
or ooman in the world ugly-ah. And iii tell you
how | know-ah; as was coming up to church to-
day-ah, i saw some young men in the road-ah.
And thought one Of them the purtiest young
man ever saw in my life-ab. And as drew high
unto them discovered that they we're playing Nv
marvels, and they all drew nigh unto place what
they called the taw-ab, and they marveled-ah. And
this purity young man was the last one to marvel
ah, and when he marveled, he jumped up and
tapped his hands like rooster does his wings,
and says he, /" i wish may be d-d if ! haint fat
ah." And, oh my friends, then thought that was
the ugliest young man / ever say in my life-ah.--
And Iopened my mouth and spake unto him til
ah, says /, young man, this is not the way to
salvation" And says he, "Old horse, il you had
been salivated as bad as / have you wouldn't
want to hear talk of salvation. .5c
And now my friends, when that ar young man
said he was fat he told le-ah for he was lean as
that hungry.looking sister over thar that's always
praying so pious while the hat is bein' passed
arotind-ah. sf#
And, my friends, if that young man hadn't been
blinded by sin, he never could mistuk me for an
old horse-ah. t slEfh}

The old soldiers should keep their eyes open,
and hold on to their warrants if they desire to get
a fair price for them. There win bea heavy de-
mand for them in April and May a much larger
amount will be wanted for immediate location than
will be issued, and considerable advance over the
present rates may be expected during those
months.

in the House, that Governor Reeder had been
offered by the President first class foreign mis-
sion II be would resign the Office of Governor of
Kansas. The Union styles this statement "the

DEsMARK-THE SOUND DUEs.-The King has

In his speech bis Majesty expressed hope that

The Flensburger Zeitung states that on the Cd

Conference to abolish them on receiving payment
of 35,000000 to 36,000,000 thaless, to be defray-
ed by the various States interested according to
table drawn up by the government
This proposal was accepted at once by the Rus
sian Representatives, without any reserve, although
Russia's share would amount to about one-third Of
the whole. 1t is represented that this project met
with 80 much favor with the representatives assem-
bled, as to lead to the expectation of its being
adopted by the various governments.

Land Warrants.

The bulls and bears" are again at work on
Wall street. and at other points, and are assiduous
in their efforts to bring down the price of land
warrants to low figure.
In November last. like effort was successfully
made by which the "0ld soldiers" and distant
dealers suffered greatly in the very sudden and
unexpected decline. AS soon as the large dealers
obtained sufficient supplies, prices again rapidly
advanced Now that they have sold out their large
stocks, an effort is being made to create panic in
the market similar to the one brought about in
November by a regularly concerted plan, that of
telegraphing from point to point and from city to
city, to the effect that there is heavy pressure in
the market, and that prices are rapidly declining
Letter writer's are also brought in requisiton to
aid in this movement The Washington cores
pondent of the Baltimore Sun says:
/" Land warrants took another sudden turn down
ward yesterday. Most of the dealers, both here
and in New York, declining to buy until the mar
ket become settled. In New York, 81 O5 for
l20's and 81 0S per acre for zoos and SOS were
the best rates paid yesterday. Iquote the market
here thus:
zoos and sos 81 90 to 81 10
l20's | o6 to or
Now, every word above quoted is incorrect and
intended for the purpose above indicated; there
were but few warrants sold in this market on Sat
urday, owing to the excitement produced by the
efforts above explained, but the following prices
were paid:

On the same day Saturday John Thompson,

ard, makes the following remarks and gives his
quotations on that day
The demand for warrants still continues to ex-
ceed the supply, and we are again obliged to ad-
vance the prices. Our customers, however, may
feel confident that no exertions on our part shall
be spared to meet their wants in as satisfactory
manner as possible.

soldiers of the Cross -sharpe,s Rifles.


The New Haven Journal chroncled in substance
some queer doings, sayings, &C., in New Haven
on Kansas and "rifes," &C., &c.,-but the
Times thus throws a flood of light upon the meet
ing held there in the North Church:
PROF. sILLIMAN RECEIVES SUBSCRIPTIONS
Prof. Silliman, of Yale College, rose and said
that he did not hope Sharpes Rifles would be put
to the fullest use of which they capable, but
self defence, especially in the of freedom, is
sacred duty. He deprecated the necessities of
the time which demand such precaution on the
part of settlers in Kansas, but he believed in meet
ing manfully the present exigencies, bad as they
might be. He said he desired to head the list for
the procuring of number of weapons of defence
for the party setting out, and that therefore Mr.
Lines might put down on the paper "B. Silli-
man, one Sharpe Rife"
The price of a rifle was $25.
Mr. Russell and Rev. Mr.. Dutton rose both at
once. Mr. Russell speaks first
Put me down for one."
Rev. Mr.. Dutton, (pastor of the church, One
of the decons of this church, Mr.. Harvey Hall, is

five, twenty rifles had been subscribed, the
cost of which, together with the amount received
at the door for admission fees, made the collection
for Kansas in the North Church one thousand dol
lars.

From the Winchester Republican.
Washingtou-Iike.

Did Henry A. Wise, in bis stump-speeches du-
ring the last Presidential canvass characterize the
administration of Mard Fillmore as Washing
ton-likeY The testimony is Overwhelming that
he did. There are plenty of people who retain a
recollection OF the precise term. Any one who
heard Mr. Wise's speech in this place can remeui-
ber easily enough that his praise of the Fillmore
administration was fully equivalent to such an ex-
preston, for he rung the changes Of his approba-
tion SO persistently that one could forget them
soon. Referring to die of September IL, 1882,
we find it remarked that +" Mr. Wises euogium
upon the President (Mr Fillnore) elected hearty
cheers from the Wings"
Whether or not Mr. Wise did use the expression
of Washington-liken was not primarily of any
consequence, for it would have been no difficult
matter TO perceive that Mr. Fillmore's administra-
tion was Washington.like throughout, even though
Mr.. Wise had asseverated that it was not until his
lungs grew hoarse with repetition.
The Winchester Virginian, Democratic paper,
in notice OF Mr.. Wise's speech in this place,
chronicled his remark that the nomination of Cen
eral Scott had been forced upon the Fillmore
Wings of Virginia in shameful disregard Of the
claims OF a statesman after their own heart, the
model President" The italics are our own, and
we shall charge nothing for them, in consideration
of the fact that Mr.. Wise cannot wrggle out OF
this laudation without impeaching the veracty of
an organ of his own party In this State
1t is disagreeable, no doubt to have such enco-
miums brought forward at so unfavorable season
for the Democracy. and turned against them like
destructive weapons against their owners. But they
are not the less true and valid on that account !;
and to assail in the present campaign candidate
for the Presidency who is, by Democratic showing,
a Washington-like and model President" will re-
quire degree of partisan servility which, for the
sake of patriotic effort in troublous times we fain
hone will not be dsplayed.
