LEcoMPTE AND LExINGToN.-The New
York Herald speaking of the great four mile
race over the Metairie Course, says:
The defeat of Lexington by Lecompte in
the great four mile race over the Metairie
Course, at New Orleans, has given rise to
much controversy in sporting circles. 1t is
argued by the friends Of Lexington that his
defeat was owing to misapprehension on
the part of his rider, who pulled him up at
the expiration of the third mile, when at the
top Of his speed, supposing the race to be
over. So confident are the friends of Lex
ington of his superiority as four mile
horse, that Mr.. Ten Brock, his owner, Of
fers 10 run him over the Metairie Course at
New Orleans, against the quickest time vet
made in the United States, for ten thousand
dollars or against any named horse for the
same amount. He still further offers to run
him over the Union Course, on Long Island
a like race, for from twenty to twenty-five
thousand dollars, the party travelling Is
receive five thousand dollars as expenses.
Mr. Ten Broeck's stable, including Lexing-
ton and others, is now at Saratoga, exerci
sing on the sand track in that vicinity,
preparatory to their advent on Long Island,
in the latter part of this month.

ILLNESS OF THE PoPE-HIs PROBABLE
SUccEssoR.-It appears that Pho Nino is
getting so fat and dropsical that it is thought
he cannot live long. His chest is said to be
affected, and the medical treatment he is
receiving is anything but satisfactory. In
connection with these facts ii is stated that
Prince Louis Lucian Bonaparte has taken
holy orders in Rome. This prince is the
third son of the late Lucian, Prince of Cant
no, the only one of Napoleon's brothers who
did not owe his station to the Emperor
President of the Legislative assembly of the
Five hundred in France, he aided the
schemes of Napoleon. on the 18th of Bru
mare, but soon dsapproved of the policy Of
his brother, retired to Italy, married an
Italian heiress, and remained there as
private man. Napoleon, who could not
brook independence in any member of his
family, excluded him and his sons from the
succession to the imperial throne of France.
but this circumstance saved Prince IucIan
after the fall of the Emperor. The Bona
parties of Canine maintained their Italian
nationality and their Princely rank at the
court of Rome. The eldest son of Lucian,
Charles, the actual prince of Canino is
celebrated ornithologlst, and was president
of the national Italian convention III 1848
and 1s49 in Rome. His republicanism es-
ranged him from the present Emperor; but
he now lives in Paris as Director of the
Jardin DIES Plantes His brother Louis Lu-
clan is, without doubt; the most distinguished
man of the family, highly esteemed by
Napoleon III, who had him appointed
Senator. But the Prince has hitherto lived
rather retired from politics, without taking
part in public life, though the Emperor has
often consulted him on the policy of Europe.
1t cannot be without ulterior designs that
Prince Lucian, known for his liberal and
tolerant opinions, has become priest. In
short time he may get the cardinals hat,
and as he has always maintained his Italian
nationality, the schemes Of Napoleon |. to
have Pope in his family-his uncle, the
Cardinal Fesch, was designated to that dig
pity-seems to have been revived.

TThe Utica, NJ Daily Observer
quotes the following extract from speech
delivered by the Hon. Edward Everett, in
the House of Representatives in 1929. The
New Haven, Conn, Register expresses the
hope that the political clergymen of New
England may read it carefully:
"Sir, am no soldier My habits and
education are very unm,litary; but there is
no cause in which would sooner buckle a
knapsack on my back, and put musket on
my shoulder, than that Of putting down a
servile instruction at the South The
great relation of servitude, in some form or
other, with greater OF less departure from
the theoretic equality of men, is inseparabIe
from our nature. Domestic slavery is not,
in my judgment, to be set down as an inn
moral or irreligious relation. No sir the
New Testament says: "Slaves obey your
masters" / cannot admit that its duties
are not presupposed and sanctioned by reli-
gion. | know of no way by which the
form of this servitude can be fixed but by
political institution"

Rice-1ts Culture In Louisiana.

In directing the attention of our readers to
the letter Of J. B. BR1rToN, Esq, on our first,
or outside page, written to friend of the parish
of Terrebonne, we would notice that the late
visit of that gentleman to this portion Of the
State has developed the important discovery
that the "gold seed" rice, which, in the Caro-
linas is an aquatic plant, and raised only by
irrigation, has been successfully acclimated in
the adjoining parish of Terrebonne, for fifteen
years.
It was introduced there by the late and much
lamented DIR. JESSE BArEY, South Carolinian,
an ardent believer in the capabiity of this as
a rice growing region. The specimen which
accompanies, and marked No. 2, in the commu-
nication of Mr.. Britton, was raised in the parish
of Terrebonne, by Mr.. Auguste Babin, who has
been cultivating this variety for nine years,
with only the irrigation received from the rainy
season. The seed has kept remarkably pure
Every country has its cereals peculiar to its
climate Difference of latitude and soil demand
at the hands of the husbandman another mode
of culture to assimilate the productions of one
district of country to the soil and climate OF
another; and it is problem yet to be worked
out, whether the s'gold seed,' if planted at the
proper season, requires the flooding it receives
in South Carolina and whether in a damp
not too wet-but low, sandy soil, the greatest
results may not ensue!
We venture the assertion that so soon as any
considerable number of our people shall have
embarked in the culture of rice on an extensive
scale, the intelligence Of the planting community
will Immediately bring machinery to bear, so
that all difficulties may be overcome for the
sowing, reaping, and thrashing; and under that
system Of intelligent experimental
the Lafourche country cannot but become the
wealthiest portion of the State of Louisiana.
There are, within the bounds of the parishes
of Assumption, Lafourche, and Terrebonne one
hundred and fifty square miles Of good rice
growing lands, equal to ninety-six thousand
acres, capable of producing upon an average,
sixty bushels of rough rice per acre. A bushel
of rough rice will yield about twenty-nine
pounds of clean rice. Therefore, it will be seen
by those who will take the trouble to investigate
the matter, that the three Lafourche parishes
are capable of producing, in themselves, more
rice than the Whole State of South Carolina
reported in 1851. This is no exaggeration or
extravagant estimate; but facts well authenti-
Gated by figures, which speak for themselves.
The rice interest of Louisiana is a growing
one; one which in due course of time must add
largely to it's wealth and agricultural resources
and, at no far distant day, even rival South
Carolina, if properly attended to and fostered.
Specimens of the various kinds of rice men
toned in Mr. Britton's letter, may be seen by
applying at our Office.

Ross1rER's HISTORICAL PA1Nr1NGs.-C. H.
Wilbur, Esq, agent of the artist, has been ex-
hibiting these truly wonderful paintings at the
Presbyterian Church, in this place, since Thurs
day last The paintings are three in number.
The Captive Israelites, illustrating the sentiment
Of Hope, representing the Daughters of Zion,
hanging their harps on the willows by the rivers
Of Babylon. Then the magnificent painting Of
the Return of the Dove to the Ark or the
Triumph of Faith, representing Noah and his
family in the Ark. Last, the sublime picture
Of Miriam" the Prophecies, exulting over
the destruction of Pharaoh's Host
What, in our estimation, gives value and in
terest to these paintings is, that they are the
work Of q young artist, who claims America as
his place Of birth. For beauty =ofexecution,
nicely Of grouping, perfection in deliniation Of
character, and effect of light and shade, they
have no equals or superiors. A description, no
matter how accurate it might be, would give
but faint idea of their real beauty, and they
should be seen to be more fully appreciated and
admired. ...5. =- -.

The FRANKLIN HoUsE.-From an advertise
ment in our columns it will be perceived that
the proprietor of this long established hotel, B.
F. Holden, ESQ.,, is DESTROYS of renting it for q
series of years. The house is complete in all
but &c to
who may chose to embark in the business.
Thibodaux stands much in need of first class
hotel and we doubt not that one managed
similar to Princes Hotel, at Donaldsonville,
would do lucrative business here-more
especially after the opening of our railroad,
which will bring many pleasure seeking in
diyiduals here from New Orleans and other
points on the road, during all seasons of the
year, but particularly during the summer months.
Mr. Holden's only reason for renting or dis
posing of his property here, results from his
having greater interests at stake in Ohio, which
require his undivided attention.

PRINcE's HOTEL, DoNALDsoNv1LLE. - Bust
ness, during the past week, caused us to visit
Donaldsonville; and, during our short sojourn,
we made the above hotel our headquarters.
Mr.. Prince keeps the best house we have ever
visited in the country; in fact, it will compare
with many Of the first class hotels in the large
cities. The table is supplied with every delicacy
that the market and surrounding country afford /;
the sleeping apartments are excellent; while
the servants are polite, attentive and obedient.
In order to give our readers some idea of the
man, and his qualifications as popular host,
we will merely mention that since his arrival at
Donaldsonville, the old hotel-then kept for
over thirty years-has been obliged to close for
want Of business Princes hotel acting as q
magnet drawing everything to it. The situa-
ton of this hotel is most delightful, being in
the large and commodious building formerly
the Land Ofice-in the rear Of the market, and
in full view Of the Mississippi The bar is sup
piled with the best Of liquors; and in fact
nothing is wanting to render it one of the best
public houses out Of New Orleans
