AN lawS cosRCTRD The Delta of yesterday morning contained an arteolo uder the oaptio of "The Lust Soene" pefrring to the conoluelon of tbe Bell and e-a-do is tally etýoridlnary fp a atqea, an he Prlandeal Impre I on o ohave W si read a artlol~cn length so r9tiete wit ninhrepren asd IN .uoh at'varlanoe with fato at they tranhtre~d, and the opinion of gentlemen who were present from the beginning until the ls o3the trial. Of aoeur we do not impuga the.aotitee of h writer. That is not our pro inoe. But itfr{ idioe and partiality did not *ari i td I le did not draw upon '.hih to~nIJ o faots which had no existence d saieo, then We ate unable to credit the etidenoes which we both saw and heard, and which can le corroborated and proved by hun dreds, if neoessary. Our ootemporary starts out in the most in sammatory manner, and concludes the first paragraph of his article by averring that Judge Robertsen's life was threhtened ! Now, here we take issue with the Delta. It must substantiate Its charge by respeotable testimony, or else the allegation and the entire argument which fol lows, falls to the ground. We maintain that the obarge and the rgument are alike unfounded haes not the elightest warrant in truth--and hat both do a cruel wrong to a party and to four or Are hundred gentlemen who were in and about theoourt-house on Saturday night, which can only be repairedby a fll, frank and manly retractio. ,Thq )jespespakof a "ra&bble" anda"a"ob," aes, just u though there had been a "rabble" iadA a mob." We can only account for the hilleinlatita which led to so wanton a perver *l6a of truth on the ground that perturbed colelenbes, like diseased physical systems, fre quently bring about astonishing delusions. The writer of this happened to be present daring the proecedings which were had in the First District Court from dark until about 12 oclock. There was no mob. There was no rab bin, There were no indications of a riot. There wes nothing, whatever, which menaced the deeorum st, a judical tribunal for which the large u crowd of gentlemen in attendance were in thesslaidlest psiaticular responsible. There was no extraordinary, interruption of the pro eedings of the court, and no unusual occur renes outside the sphereof those which usually attend the progress and determination of an exciting cause. The Judge was as safe on his bench as though he had been guarded by ten thousand bayonets, and we did not see a man anal we are tolerably well posted-who would not have maintained the dignity of the court end protected the person of the Judge, had ,there been any occasion, to the extremest haz ard known to mortal man. Why ? Nineteen twentieths of the persons present were Ameri apsa-a vast majority were men of character end responsibility-gentlemen who could give, perhaps, as good n warrant for decenoy and loyalty to law, as our neighbors. To stig matize such an assemblage as a " rabble," as a ' mob," and as threatening the life of the Judge, it strikes us, is wholly unjustifiable. And we deeply and sincerely regret that it has been done, no matter if the wrong has been p.rpetalred unwittingly and innocently. Still it ha beaen done, and a conviction of injustice always rankles. Here re 'might pause and defend Randell Hunt from the imputations put upon him. But this is not necessary. Mr. Hunt is too well known to the public of Louisiana to need defence uidr' seoob circomstances. HBe never appeals tq the "worst passions." He is no "Marat," and he nevr speaks to the "rabble." Were he inch a man, his ability, genius and eloquence, would'have long since placed him on the summit of political distinction and power. But the Deltia, not satisfed with what we haveseferred to, must needs get up a melo-dra. matio scene, of which there is no knowledge on the part of those said to have been engaged in i! This fi the funniest part of the business. We quote from the Delta's romance, just after the jury had brought in their verdict, which was unquestonably as honest a verdict-as true to'law and evidence-as was ever rendered. Says our ootemporary: Meanwhile Judge Robertson had arranged his documents, placed his books in a safe place, and was preparing to go quietly home, when Mr. Hufty esn svervral of the Deputy Sheriffs rushed in and entreated him to remain where he was, ag he would be shot if he left the court-room, even for a moment. A conversetion took place between the parties, something to this effect : Judge Robertson: I am consolous of having done no wrong, or rather of having done my duty impartially and without prejudice; why, therefore, should I fear any violence from my "-llowreitiona 1 Jlfr. Hstfti: But you will be killed; the orowd is furious; do not trust yourself amongst them, they will strikeyou down without sornple. Judge Robertson: But I cannot remain here lln ht; I am weary and must go home. Be side, I will not be intimidated by any mob, let it howl asit will. QAfr. Iefty: Be patient, and we will form a guord; we will escort you home. The soasettyof water on the Desert of Sahara e knowin to'be remarkable. Every schoolboy will verify that fact. But if there is not mpre water on the Desert than there is truth in the fo.egoing extract, then it is the worst watered qtuntry on the surface of the globe. To substantiate this proposition we submit te followlog from F. Bogligny, Esq., Keeper of the Court-House, who speaks knowingly and from actual observation: iin.tg seen Ih the dully "Delta," of thi morning, a btleepre PectP eotagto he a deorlptlonof wrhut tok plenls the frt Distredt Court on Saturday bnight after the verdict of the Jury Ia the Bell and HRutty ease. au.d aIter the Court haddjouned, I feel myself bound to tate the Ateeua tltoy u they occurred. temmdi hlyateb the adjoarnment ofthe Court, Judge Robertson reo and war •rnglling hie papers, when I salt to hhne •de, yoh bdetter remain awhile, until the od l dsemed." I then walked out into the peuage -d slue.e. . the crowdto disperse or retre mlt woo laean I'weted to lock up the sates. Ithe returned into thebo•uet-reom aed met the Jdgle at the dour, ad advlied hbin ein to remanl awhile longer, for there was eeeh aeerwd to the ap.ege that It would he dIfficult for e-yme toper through It ; thatthey wee about retirlng. At that moment Mr. Duquereron. one of the Jurors, mod Mr. Joe. Solomon, come to and offered to aoompeauy the Judge end tendered him thelr company. At this time Mr. tty paoeed in the o t he p g y the door, oing to wards It. Ann straI, a crowd followinu him, when the Judge thanked Mr. Dnoquerroun end Mr. oloemon. and mtd, I will go with Mr. ltuty. Mr. utrty then offered heis a to Judge Roberteon and they walked off arm Ia arm. I euderetod that the Judge and Mr. Hufty took a oa and rode up towe toerther. 1t. BOUL ONY, Keeper Court-Rous * N.ew Qteane, December 17, 155. The foregoing statement needs no comment, and we shall make none. We will only add that Col. Hofty-although he escorted the Judge to near his residence, as he was in duty bound to do, both as Sheriff elect and as a clever gentleman-pronounees the dialogue given in the Delta to be wholly unwarranted by any thing that transpired. Bermuda papers publish an account of an ex citing race between the Bermudian bark Pearl, Capt. Hutchinge, and the American bark Mar aval, Capt. Ward, both of which vessels left New York in company for Bermuda, on the 16th alt. TheTormer was, it appears, more deeply laden than her antagonist and had a deck load oa cattle, but nevertheless managed to outsail the latter several hours. Both made the pas. sage from New York in the unprecedented time of three days. Large bets were offered in New York, prior to their leaIrng, that the American would lick the Brmudiana. The St. Louis Intelligencer of the 10th an nounoes that it will henceforth devote itself to the intereste of the American 'party. The Ia telligenor, we have no doubt, will prove a aurdy champion In the cause. AMERICAN HUMOR. As every individual is endowed with some peo.sllar style and quality of intellect-with some log.lo wit or other mental quafllieatio, not poes5ed b' any other-so, it seems, that nations share in this eneral allotment and sare ota 'by lirt*eof itltelotual oharaote otloe, .u thong, not shrongor, that those which ae pdsonal. (bs p alardenjoys a heritege of wit thbt deals in prsperbs, saws hd mustysayings; the Irisheuan has s oapoilty for repartee, blls and double entendre ; the Englishman is notable for a kind of blunder peouliar to himself; the Amerioan, for a style of exaggerated antith esis that has no prototype in what is either anoient or modern. Ilueeortiona s of the facetie of these different kinds will readily aeccommodate themselves to the memories of all. The story-books aoe full of them. The Joe Millers and Crookett alsomana of the age are illustrated by them. Tuorn which way.oever the reader may, he is grounded by some evidence and proof of the truthfulness of our assertion. We oan obh of us recall a thousand exempll. festione of the rule-a thousand proofs of the truthful noes of the statement-every one legitimate and natural. In the whole cataloguehowever, t will be dialoult to fnd anything so riohly and originally humorous-so pero. liaty funny-so strangely mirthful-as what comes under the ad of Amerioen humor. It to hes the borders o all the other kinds, fringes their domains, but oeeuples a territory of its own, unquestioned and not to be contra. dieted. The laughter-provokhn g principle, that lives t. everything humorous and tmusiog, here works itself out in a novel style-by a hyperbole and complioation of is. possibilities, never before attempted or dreamed of. The nsarest approximation to be found is in the plays of Sophooles, where a sort of Davy Oroakett conversation, between Zeus and the other immortals, is carried on 'till even the gods are tired and the goddesses are compelled to alshe their smilen in sles. Probably our philosophers of pyonhology oould explain bow it happens that one man adse food for mirthin a nubjeot immediately exhumed from the grave, or a cause for laughter in some topic tonehiag him home to the very heart. Most of us are able, more or laless lerly, to state the anmes of eanhination when another biped falls over an orange peel, and, falling, leaves behind him a memors ble memorial in the shape of a rent reaching half way from his heels to his head, a poteriori. But neither the one nor the other has a sufllioent rattoination to explain the manifold mysteries that make mirth a consequent upon the falling together of two simple words, whose only tie i in their sumeness and equality of sound. To undertake this hitherto enaccompllshed task would be to dare the warnings of Horase and try lonian wlngs. Oar objiet wan only to raise the subject before the minds of others-and then leave its solution to better judg. means; to start before the world of writers a theme worthy of their steel, and behold the contest from afar. Oan any genius of metaphysics unfold to es the anuse and philosophy of that humor, wit, merriment-by what. nme-eosver It panes-that passes as American wit? Can y one ntel s what is the laughable subjeot-matter in a man's being so tall that he has to climb a ladder to shave himelf, or so crooked that he must have three barrels in ted In order to sleep ?: It is said to be the contradiotion of ideas--but a stranger and stronger contradiction may be found in what oeours every day, without provoking the risibles of the most mirthful. We all laugh-but how few of us can tell why. It is because we are merry: what produces the merriment, and why should the merrl mest unse laughter ? Most of all, what is the morrl meat-matter that makes our American humor so notable, sopeuliar and so prominent ? Leigh Hunt's philosophy does not sufioliently discourse to this ecd. AMUSEMIIENTS LAST EVENING. ST. CHARLES THEATER.--The bill at the St. Charles last evening was of much more than common intarest, and much more than common excellence. The house was very well tilled to see Mr. Hackett's Fsta·Lf, in "King Henry IV," and to hear Miss Macarthy in the burletta of ' Jenny Lind." Concerning the play, in its leading parts, we have little but commendation to express. In the acting of Mr. Hackett there was a rich, oily and abundant merriment that brought out the spirit of the impersonation most natnrally and olearly. It was "honest Jack Falstaff." and no one else, from the commencement to the conclusion; him, in the mad freaks, in the strange philosophy, in the .overflow of animal spirits and the creeping of fesh when danger came too near. The port, character and person-so far as amyth and fable can be personated-were up to the conceptions we have allof us formed of that brightest and most humor. one Bhakeperianism. The pieceo too, was well mounted and well dressed. Some fault might be found with sub ordinate characters but none with the chief and most prominent. It is only justice to add that Mark Smith's Earl of Worcestr, the Prince of Wales by Wright, and the very excellent Francis of Vicing Bowers accooorded most happily and harmoniously cbth the leading character. The amusements closed with the laughable burletta of " Jenny Lind," in which MiM haoarthy sang and danced through thepart of Jenn., LeatherliLngs to the highest gratiication of all present. Possessing an exceedingly rich, clear and rinogling volee, and a spirit that harmon iees completely with the fun and frolic of the piece, she called down the house, not once, but a dozen times, and received such very marked applause as is bestowed only on real merit. With a vivid recollection of Mrs. How ard's brilliant performance of the same character, we have no hesitation-and the audience of last night will endorse us-in saying, that Miss Macarthy is by far her superior. Coming among us, as she did, comparatively unheralded, in one week's time she has established her position as the most pyasing actress, in her line, we have over had in New Orleisa. GAnTY THn.oE n.-There were not no many in attendance at the Gaiety last evening as on evenings previous, 4lthough the "Old Guard," .'John Dobbs,' .A Lover by Proxy," and "Leg Hut Life" made up the bill. Mr. Fred. ... Thayer, as John Ddl.O. playing with Miss MoLean as Mrs. Ch.el rton-very different from Tir. Chat terion in the "Morning Cali"-cacried the farce very smoothly and excellently on to its amusing termination. We have long ago expressed our favorable opinion of Mr. Thayer's abilitie, and are happy to see that time ripens the earlier promise, and that our much-abusnd city can claim the production of at least one light comedian who anderstanda the requirements of genteel comedy, and does not constantly confound it with farce. By the way, we have heard very high commendations of Miss McLean se a songstress in other cities. If the commendation was correct, it is somewhat singular that there has been no display or evidence of it here. It Is true that there have been no parts assigned to her in which this talent could be well manifested, but we should think thah the interests of the house would induce the manager to produce something of a mueloal character, if he wishes, as he assuredly must, to develop the best abilities of his company. It may be our information was incorrect; If so, silence will give consent to the supposition, and we shall be deoelved in some of the pleasant anticipations we had formed. PEnL'eS SourItaN OPEiR Houss,-There was another of those large and enthusiastic audiences at the Armory Half last evening which seem to have become in separable to the concertsof the Campbells. The different songs and the whole catalogue of performances, met with a very hearty reception-the songs of Mr. Farrenberg drawing unlimited applause. The programme at the Armnery i so constantly changed that novelty is the sure eseelt, and the execution so uniformly excellent that pleasure in a aure consequent. We can cordially recom mend all who are laboring under menui, or who wish a little pleasant recreation, to pay a visit to the Southern Opera Hole. AMUSEMENTS THIS EVENING. ORLnFaNS THEATER.-Donizetti's grand opera of" Lucia di Lammermoor." GAIETY THEATER.-"The Hypocrite," "Poor Pilliooddy," and "Log Hut Life.'' ST. CeoARLE THEATER.-The 'Kentuckian," with Mr. Hackett as Col. tNimrai Wiidfi.e; 'His Last Legs," and"Jenny Lind." PEEL'S SOUTHERN OPERA oIIoUE.--80ngs, dances and burlesques, by the Campbell Minstrels. VANNUCHi's MUSEUM.-Wax statuary and cos moramu, at 107 St. Charles street. FRANKLL McMUSEUM.-Statuary, reptiles, etc., at 106 St. Charles street. BTrrH's AMERICAN CIRCUS.-A grand display of equestrianism at the corner of Poydras and Baronne steets. In the [library of the British Museum may be seen a book, printed in the Low Dutch, con taining upwards of sixty specimens of paper, made of different articles, the result of one man's experiments as early as 1772. In the manufacture of paper almost every species of tough ibrous vegetable, and even animal sub stances, have at one time or another been em ployed. The roots of trees, their bark, the vine of hops, the tendrils of the vine, the stalks of the nettle, the common thistle, the stem of the hollyhock, the sugar cane, cabbage stalks, wood-shavings, saw-dust, hay, straw, willow, and the like, have all been used, says Herring, in his work on ancient and modern paper-mak ing, in the manufacture of paper. THREE STEAMBOATs BUOLeD re ST. LOUIS.- The three steamboats burned at the St. Louis wharf, on the night of the 7th, were the Par. thenia, the Prairie City and Cthe Twin City. The fire commenced on the former. The loss was estimated at $100,000. Cnoserr Orc, No. 70 Camp street, Molnay Evening, Dec. 17, 1855. 5 Business was much impeded today by the weather; the storm of rMn and drlsute which commenced on Fri day list, continued this forenoon, causing great retarda tio in h business on the Levee, which is generally so very brisk on Meday, preventing the discharging of the mam moth loads of cotton whloh have arrived during the past twenty-four hours. Moreover, its eRfeote were prceivable on those useful members of the body financial, those in termediate gentlemen, the note, exchange and money brokers, whose numerous complalnts of the dull state of trade indicate that there was but little paper, only few bills and a goodsupply of money. It wa, however, dls eernable that buyers were enhancing their pretensions and holders of paper deelining to accade tb higher rates than those of last week, and under thin position the mar het cloed, with hardly sales aesfient to make a quoa-. tion.

It will be observed the Banks have all been extremely liberal in Exchange, operations having at this time 82,690,247 In excess of the amount at tme period in185. We also anne a comparative state ment of the Banks, aggregately for the 16th December, 1894, and the present year, by which it will be perceived the deposit line is nearly three millions of dollars at this time above the corresponding time in 1854, and the short loan line within $11,000 of a million of dollars less, and the gross loans $739,283. Taking our Bank returns as a guide there is no falling off in the general business of our city. If we take the Bank deposits as a criterion, we shall have the pleasure of boting of a great increse, though this increase may nrise from the early receipts of cotton and the unemployed balancesin the hands of cotton fa. tors ; and it is reasonable to presume that the high prices of Western products have augmented the resources of Western merchants. There was but little done in Exchange to-day.

From the Mobile Advertiser of the 16th lost.o, we take the following remarks on that market: The fair degree of activity noticed a week ago eon tinues, there being a good fall business in the provision and grocery markets. Cotton comes in quite liberally, as will be seen by the table of receipts, and the market for the article has been quite aniumated, prices having reo ceded to 7 to 6o for middlings, with sales of 2i 000 bales for the weeo. In prices of produce fewer changes have taken place. Western cheoese, star candes and utoer have gone up a little, and flour and whisky are a stade lower than when we wrote our last review. ltecolpto of the various articles keep pace with-the demand, and stocks. though ample, may not upoo the whole be con sidered heavy. Our shipping list has been lrgely ion. toeaedhby recenot arrivrals. and other veoels areodaily expected,. which will swell tie list contiderably. Our Freight market has been active, and ma9ters are firm. We had very pleaant weather early in the week. though yesterday aod Thursday were cloudy days. a heavy shower of rain failing on the former. wtich we venture to hope may place our rivers again to a navigable codotion.

The dati, for crop of 184l is drawn from Champanior's report. and that of 1855 is from the pluanters.

The sugar maklngis so nearly over that no materia0 variation from the above estimate of crops of the year cat occur. Buyers may make up their minds to pay much higher prioes than the present, The planters are aware of the genera al faling off in yield, and will hold on for a material advance. The cros incoluded In the table above, are a fair aver age of the Lafourohe crops. The falling off is about 46 per ,cent. This will, nodoubt, be general throughout the State. From every quarter we have Oaccounts of a bad yield. The past season has been the most unfavorable I haveexperie.ed in sixteten year' planting. The quan tity of cane, planted, owing to defectivero plantso, was muh tuts than usualo, and the rattoons came very badly, andin some eases, perished for want of moisture the last win. ter, spring anod summer. Every one. owing to these causes, was necessarily compelled to put up largely for pllanting the eoming year. In addition to this, the freeze in Oatber sauaed the plautters of Rapidsa, and other of the upper parishes, to wrind-row their oane; and the succeeding warm. rainy weather, eaused the ane to spoil to suoh an extent as to prevent granulation of the oane jose. f the sugar planters of Louisiana eare not demented, they will hold on to their crops and not cootinue to glut the New Orleans market. They may Trep upon being visited by the Knights of the Oimblet in a very rhort time. A UtoaR PLoaTER. Auovrrlrant, La.. December 13, 1S55.
