t!These are the most important facts which
have been able to collect by careful per-
sonal enquiry among the members of my own
congregation. And will add that they are
not picked facts. They have not been eulled
from number of others less favorable TO
Homeopathy. They have not been selected
with Partially, nor with any design or wish
to favor the New School Of Medical practice,
but simply to show to you, and (if you think
them sufficient importance to be made public)
to the inhabitants of your city, and other
eastern towns, how little foundation the cor
respondent Of the Evening Post had for the
assertions made by him and published in tha,
paper, touching the success of Homeopathy
in our city during the prevalence of the epi.
demic Cholera. I cannot think that any high
minded and honorable All9pathist will blame
me for collecting these facts, or for leaving
it optional with you 10 make them public
For what other solid or safe foundation i.
there besides facts, on which to base ra
tional conclusion in matters of this nature
And yet do not explain for others the fact
here presented.
'Iremain dear sir, yours, with sentiments o
high respect and esteem.

The particular object of the writer is TO draw he public at
tenon location for immigrants, who daily increasing
upon US, not c than 10000 per anum. Paupesm is
crowded upon cys may witness by the daily call Of
bggasi and something ought TO be Done only
OF beneyoance ards these strangers, but relieve from
dis growing evil To obyiae il, the writer would suggest
that landing be provided, two three miles below the
city, on he opposite de OF the river with sufficient front ioi
landing and receiving, houseoom enough for five hundred
and land enough to be used for agricultural purpos which
the iders could cultivate. A sood location might be had io
s6000 Of twenty General oyerseers to
attend their landing, aud that they made ceany
good physician to attend their sick also good steward to
furnish soup establishment, where for small sunthey could
have a good meal Ga landing, their destination could be
made known, and immediate provision made for transmitting
them 10 the point stated Should any be lettering and not
ing forward put them to the culture OF The garden field or
some labor for tie value Of their boan, which would not
coed q cents per day. This superintendent Of all immigrants
would save them much of their small meaus
To pay for this faithful and iahey Of them, by an
arrangement in the poFis Of Europe where they embark,
proper agent should De appointed, who should demand in ad
dion 70 their passage for this faithful Of them dollar
each 10 be paid On shipping This, the wIieF thinks would
be ample Eemuneate for al done for ihem here, and ship
ping them Up river within four or five days
The whole subject being benevolent one, Il Is not expected
lhat any to derive peenniaTy benefit; and ia all
eaes moderate salaries be paid and that only to those de-
voted to tbe great object Of doing good.
The foregoing hasy thoughts may elicit, from more prae
ica heads something which vii relieve our city Of great
evil about u. UTILITY

Prof. Hunts Introductory Lecture.


me Introductory lecture TO the series on Gon-
meFeiai Law was ueIlVeLeu iaSt evening at inc La"
institute by Professor handeH iIunt Nh aunt
IS the Professor On the branches OF evidence Ooi-
merclal and Criminal Law We leel that we-will
not be accused OF extravaganza IN asserting that
the opening addresso last evening was m purity
erudluon, eloquenee and classical aIlnsons' one OF
the most excellent ever delivered IN our city In
addition to large class oil Students we noticed
many gentlemen oil the bar present, and number
Of other citizens
Prot Hunt IN warm and enthusiastic language
welcomed back to the institute tne students oil past
years, and expressed his Joy at meeting those WHO
now first appeared. lie was proud that Louisiana
boosted Char oil Law IN ITS University In other
States the ordinary branches oil an eoucauop were
deemed sufficient; but we were not satisfied with
equallng them IN the great work OF mental I'M
provement In our CONSTITUTION was to be found
title devoted TO the subject OF education: thus
even in our fundamental law, we showed our uppre-
citation of the great utility of widely -dissemina
ted knowledge. Law he defined as being I" a rule
Of action" and it applied to all kinds of action,
whether animate or inanimate thus we say-the
laws Of motion, Of optics mechanics, as well as
the laws OF nature and of nations. He then defined
~ INV " tsbeAu AilA 7es'H II AAASh NfOlS ~ ttet "
accordance with it there would be little need of other
laws but human nature was so weak, and our
judgment so imperfect, that those principles could
not be well understood and hence the necessity for
and the existence OF revealed law. In state OF
nature alooi from our lellow-bengs, this perhaps
would be sufficient but man cannot live without
sooiety-hence municipal laws, These are so
framed that Tor the benefits derived from assoca-
ton each individual relinquishes certain portion
of the rights he would enjoy IN state OF nature
but which are inconsistent with the existence O
society
The precepts Of Justnian-thatwe are =" to hur
no one to live honestly; and to give to every mal
his due might well be considered as the iunda
{ mental principles OF all law As an instinct unite
men into families, and families into nation, so II
some respects are nations united They are gov
erned by certain principles, wholly derived from tn
3 law oil nature treaties etc., known as the Ia"
y nations;

Mr.. McKEAN BUcHANAN.--This gentleman is
to make his appearance at the St Charles Theatre
Monday the 18th inst, in the character of othel
10. Many Of our citizens have Witnessed the dra-
matte delineations which Mr.. Buchanan has, from
time to time, given as an amateur; and his perfor-
mances are spoken Of as indicating talents Of high
order During his engagement at the ST. Charles,
Mr.. Buchanan will appear in characters requiring
more study and power than any others he has hith-
ero sustained. If he succeeds in the class of char
acters he has chosen for his efforts this winter, he
may be sure Of taking prominent position on the
American stage. If he comes up to the expecta-
tions his Friends have formed, hope that he will
not hereafter confne his efforts to those of a mere
amateur, but regularly assume the profession fol
which he seems to have so strong preference
The American public is always ready for the recep-
lion Of dramatic ability, and viii not be slow tc
acknowledge the merits of any who may possess the
power of embodying the ideal creations Of the dra.
matte poet

Firm DAY. Wednesday,, Dec 5-Yesterday the
meeting upon the Metairie Course was resumed.
The weather proved most favorable for the sport,
and there was a fair attendance upon the stands
The race was for the Jockey Club Purse Of 800
Entrance, 10 per cent, added-Twe,mile heats
Four entries had been announced, but at the time
advertised il was proclaimed from the stand, that
two Of the horses Hegira and Bully Henderson, had
been Withdrawn without the previous consent Of
the judges, and that John Black and Dun Henri,
would start for the pnrse. This made tlIe race a
settled matter, banished excitement, stopped bet
ting, and created no little dissatisfaction. How
ever as blame could not be attached to the pToprie
ior, ia humor was soon cast aside, ADD each one
waited 20 see the galIop. The track was very
heavy, giving The nags hard work from the scratch
70 get over The ground. The horses were brought
out--John Black showing finely and his COMPETE
Tor stripping exaelly the reverse Bets were offered
ranging from five to ten 10 one, or, in fact, any odds
ihat the hackers Of Dan could ask, but there were
few verdant enought 20 pile up even at such aIate
Of exchange, and nothing was done at the figures
named
Al the signal the nags got of well together, and
maintained the same position to the halfmile post.
Here the contest became a laughable one; the
horses gaioped slowly in the mud, fist one and
then The other taking the lead, and causing loud
Insrri,nenl BY the frequent changes. 1t was plain
that John Black could do what he pleased with
Henrie. and so the first heat ended, John winning
with ease. Time, 4:2l9
Tie second heat resulted IN The same manner
Dan first led round, but John Black, when he
thought il about time 70 be picking up, gave him
