Letter from New York.


NeSsrs Editors New York is Tranquil not
withstanding the approach Of an exciting munich
pal election, for politically people are more inter
eSted rs to who is to he alderman OF the ward,
than who IL in prospect for Governor or President
But it is not politics only which now interests MS
The scheme of removing from Egypt and setting
npin New York one OF
CfEoPATRAs MONSTER MONUMENTS
(which by the way it not the work of Cleopa-
ira at all, but Of some other Pharaoh long before
her tme) is at present the last and latest novelty
Every one who thinks imagines that the Egyptian
greatness Of the ages gone will thereby he trans
ferred to New York one hundred thousand dol
lars to defray the expense has already been sub
scrbed to effect this laudable object of gratifying
human pride and giving our sightseeing people
something new to look at. The removal 10 New
York and the exhibition in the New York
MUSEUM or ART
Of the ancient articles dug up by General Cesnola
has greatly stimulated the appetite Of our citizens
for this sort of thing. One can spend days study
ing the Cesnoa collection of st itues collins coins,
ewery, household articles, armor, and other
matters, none of which are less than three thou
sand years old. There is an immense class of our
people who, though not learned mt all, delight in
being thought so, and it is this class who pay
for their curiosity. Hundreds there are who de-
light to talk of ancient coins who cannot tell a
Washington cent from medal of the CAESARS.

THE RECENT RAINS,
which did so much damage, have all been warm
rains, but the amount OF water falling has beei
enormous; four inches fell on the 9th in forty-hv'
minutes, and three inches ON the 9th in the SAINT
time This is a two months supply all at once
The damage done was thousands of dollars
There was hardly private residence but suffered
more or less The streets In many places becam'
impossible, cellars innnmer'ble were filled will
water and their contents destroyed. The sewer
were wholly unable to carry OIL the water, and II
many localities burst with the enormous pressure
