And we would here remark upon a ridiculous conventionali- ty, for the benefit, or attention of all our landscape Senet: 2 a that of giving darkness to the foreground of a picture—of casting a black shadow across the front, in order to give effect to the dis- tance. Now this would be all very well (for the the sake of variety) occasionally, but that it may be done without, we have evidence in Clande and Wilson and Gainsborough, and Nature, and Dough- ty,—for all these have been above inspiration at se- cond hand. The practice was Dutch—though Ru- bens was above it. Hobbima, Both, Ruysdael, and others practised it. Gaspar Poussin usually laid a half of his foreground in shadow---but it was never done by these painters for any other purpose than that of composing the necessary masses of shadow required to give a grateful impression to. the cye. Mr. Talbot ought to be very much obliged to us for the trouble taken for his improvement, but we have- little hope that it will do him much service.

Time between heats, 45. minutes, Distance, 150 yards, On the night previous to the race, the rain poured down in torrents, and frequent showers occurred in the morning, owing to which the race waspostponed until 3 o’clock in the afternoon. The track was much better than was expected from the great quan- tity of water let loose upon terra firma by the open- ing of the flood-gates of heaven ; still it was heavy. It requires something more than our feeble efforts can produce to describe properly how the ladies’ stand wasilluminated with bright and glowing eyes of beauty, or shone resplendent with the fair and well-proportioned forms of the fashion and elite of the city of Louisville. Some little excitement pre- vailed A close and well-centested race was anti- cipated. The graceful Miss Foote was the winner, owing, no doubt, to the cause that nothing on the track could roore it with her. She’s a race nag and no mistake! But to the race. Miss Foote, ow- ing to her splendid race in New-Orleans, (which was 7.35, 2d heat) was the favorite against the field at great odds, and unfortunately for the ‘green horns,” the propositions were freely accepted, con- sequently heaps of “ shinplasters,” &ec. changed hands. On being summoned, the critters all came to the “ string”—Blacknose looking rather sadly —the other nags in fine ‘* apple-pie” order. At the tap, Blacknose led off the cance, Little Foote 2d, and Rapide trailing. On the back stretch, Miss Foote wishing to “ swing corner” with Blacknose, came up and gave him the “ go-by,” Rapide still lo- sing ground. Inthe quarter stretch Blacknose ga- thered on Miss Foote, who, not disliking his com- many, eame by the stand side by side.” Lite Foote now “shook him off,” Rapide far behind. — again at the quarter stretch Blacknose lapped Miss Foote, but as they passed the stand she had the lead. On the back stretch, Rapide “ mended his pace,” came up and passed Blacknose “ head and tail”—they are side and side for a moment—Black- nose drops him at the gate, and bounding up “* tried it on” with Miss Foote, who was far in advance ; but he might as well not have done so, for he couldn’t and he didn’t “ come it.” cing! that he could not take the heat, he pulled up inside the distance post, little Foote coming home ahead in 8.09. ; A, Smith—Maution and vegetables are plentiful at Washington Market. There has been no wear and tear of brain to paint such a picture as this; but why should the Epicure and the Cook have been Dutch? Could not the artist have improved their forms, in- stead of giving them such arms; or has he no know- ledge of proportion. The mechanical part of the picture is capitally done, and this makes the sin of itthe greater. The proper place for such a thing is an eating house, not an exhibition room. 130.—** Travian Menpicants.”—F. ¥ Y. 4.—This is the chief gem of the Italy abounds with hearty old men with their eyes ovt; and this is one of the veritable mendicants that one meets in every street.

Dear Sir:— Ibelieve it was Jounes”Jermyns who suggested the idea that there possibly existed a race of beings with minds constituted like our own, and addicted te the same propensities and pursuits; that as we make sport of the inferior animals in horse racing, cock fighting, bull baiting, &c. &c.in turn, may be raced, chased, pitted and baited for theiramusement I think the idea a fine one, and every way worthy the eminent divine who conceived it. Until 1 came across this jen ean I never could understand the principle which leads men to risk their necks in the steeple clase; to keep great numbers of horses. and dogs at unmense expense, for the purpose of chasing a hare which is let out of a bag. It is pro- bable that they are instigated by these superior be- ings, who, I doubt not, have more sense than to risk their lives as we do. On this supposition too, we may account for the frequent duels which oceur. The duellist area peculiar “breed of dogs,” bred up for the express purpose; and as we put gaffs upon fighting cocks, so bias beings put pistols and bowie knives in our hands. The idea being so plansible, I think a new system of theology might be built upon it, which would have more success than many that have recently attempted, and should any ingenious person in your heiaby arhood be will- ing to undertake it, I will cheerfully furnish many interesting facts from this great cock-pit of America, ich will go far to establish it on a firm basis. _ ice my last, a duel has taken place opposite ksburg, between Mr. Fall, pro tem editor of the ntinel, and the “jintleman” whose big whiskers armed the sensibilities of Mrs. Foley. Mistress F. knew that he was a “bloody jeweller’—and she was right, as the ladies always are. I was not pre- set, but am told itwasa very interesting affair; but to make amends for my loss on that occasion, I had the pleasure to witness a very pretty street fight here on Tuesday last, between General H. Stuart Foot, (Henry 8. Foote.) and a Mr. Fitzpatrick. You know General Foote; you must know him, at least you ought to know him, all the world ought to know him, for if they do not it is a great pity, and he has Jost a world of labor in striving to make himself known, He isa great lawyer, a great ician, & great biographer, and a great historian. Hecommen- ced here as agreat Jackson man. When Jackson and Calhoun quarrelled he took the turn of the tide, and was agreat Calhoun man. But this tide did not turn; so he turned back again, and became a greater Jackson man than ever. Then the anti-subtreasury tide began to flow,and he made another great mistake But there is no mistake in him asa fighting man. He has fought, let me see—one duel in Alabama before he came here, when he was wounded tn the ehoul- der; two dnels with. Prentiss, wounded each time— that is three; one with on Pearl River,makes four, one with Claiborne makes five, and the pre- sent street fight makes his sixth affair; pretty well for a young man of thirty-five or thereabouts. This last itnbeel artainated in some severe remarks which Gen. Foote made last summer, in a criminal cause, where he was defending the prisoner, and Fitzpa trick was the proseuutor. It is not true, as is gene- During the running of, the three first miles, the Kentucks were grinning in anticipation of success ; bui alas! it was a fatal illusion ; and when little Foote came out ahead, the shouts that then weut up were outrageous! The Foot stock now rose about “a feet”; three, and even four and five to one was freely offernd, but few takers; for these who took ‘the field” ugainst her were not a lirtle suckedin. The call is made, the riders are mount- ed,—‘ hats off!—take your seats, and let us see— Tur Srconp Hear.—All the nags rallied well but Blacknose, who looked much distressed and out of sorts. Miss Foote led at the tap, Rapide 2d, Black- nose falling every moment further behind; before coming into the quarter stretch he came to a halt— he was done for. The contest was now between Ra- pide and Miss Foote. On the back stretch Rapide made play, but the play didn’tJast long. At the quarter he tried her again ; Foote darted off like an arrow from the pursuer, each moment incressing the p between them. In the home stretch, Foote was Neaat a quarter ahead ; seeing she held the race at in her own hands, she dropped into a trot. The cry of ** Miss Foote is let down,” now rent the air as with one acclaim. Rapide crawled on to within fifty yards of little Foote, when she bounded off, winning the heat and race in the most astoundin, short time of 8.49. The two first miles of the secon heat were accomplished in 3.56, which, considering the state of the track, was excellent running. Sum- rally supposed, that old women, over the tea | mary.—D.

Foote refused to acknowledge him as a gentleman, but declared his intention to be prepared for any further attack. This, in common parlance, signifies ‘1 will give you a street fight.” Now, I doubt whether you unenlightened savages of the north understand what is technically calied a street fight. You may think, for instance, that they had already a street fight. No such thing ‘That was only a rencontre entirely unexpected, at least, by one of the parties. But in a street fight, as ina duel, both parties are prepared; they go to seek each other, generally in the most public place; but, unlike a duel, each party arms himself accord- ing to his own fancy, and they skirmish as they lease, dodge behind posts, advance, recede, vidi- ficit, run—in short, a street fight has neither law nor mense gathering of the beauty and fashion of the city on Wednesday, at Park strect Church, to witness the installation of the Rev Mr. Kirk. The house seemed to be entirely filled with ladies, a great many of them standing up du- ring the services, which continued for more than three hours. Mr. Kirk is a favorite with the ladies, his dress, manners, and the deep and tender expression of his voice and eye, with his accomplishments as a scho- lar and a gentleman, are very fascinating, and draw many warm hearts to the alter where he officiates. There are those who would not withhold should he invite them to walk up to the alter of Hymen- ‘The sermon was from the Rev. Dr. Skinner, of your city, and was spun out to the length of an hour. ‘The charge was given by the Rev. Hubbard Winslow, of Bowdoin street Church, and was dis- tinguished for its censure of the former labors of Mr. Kirk in this city, and for its bitter sarcasins.— He charged Mr. Kirk (in effect) not to admit into his pulpit any itenerant preacher who might come here to labor as he had formerly done, and who might thas crowd himself in between the regular Pastor and his Congregation! This charge with Mr. Winslow’s efforts to prevent the counsel from aecepting the articles of faith which the new church had adopted, created a deep sensation, and marred the harmony of the day. A number of the very efli- cient gentlemen who are forming this new church for Mr. Kirk, have been for many years active members of Mr. Winslow's church, and it may be that their leaving him has stirred his feelings un- pleasantly. There has been sone transactions by members of his church, still held in full fellowship, which in the opinion ol the community are not cre- ditable to the church, and it ney: be that this con- tamination may have induced these gentlemen to ‘The whole church mtay not be account- able for the sins of a weak member, but they are accountable to society, if knowin his sins, the protect him under their wing, by holding him communion!

Vell, after the separation, each went to prepare himself according to his ewn notion, and, in about two hours, Gen. Foote made his appearance in Ca- pitol street, ostensibly going about his own businese to the Court House. Just as he was passing a little shanty, known as an “ Eating and Oyster House, by Samuel Watts,” whiz came a bullet, not very well-citned ‘it sera, for it-mimed its object, and lodged in Sammy’s sign board. ‘Thereupon Gen Foote stopped, deliberately drew a pistol, and pre- sented it at his opponent. A bystander called out to him to take a He did so, on his left arm, butthe cap snapped, Fitzpatrick, who had been standing rather suspiciously near a pillow, now ad- vanced and threw his pistol atloote’s head. This was better aimed than the bullet, for it took effect, but not so effectively as to prevent Foote from drawin and firing another pistol, the bullet from which struck the sheath of Fitzpatrick’s bowie knife, glaneed, entered the iline region, a little below the umbilicus,to the left of the linea alba, perforated the abdominal muscles and fasciw traneversalis, entered the abdominal cavity, grazing the sigmoid flexure of the colon, emerged at a_ point Se ta to the superior spinal process of the ilium. In the ex- citement of the moment Fitzpatrick seemed unaware that he was wounded, and attempted to draw his bowie knife, which, in consequence of the indenta- tion by the ball, he was unable to do, he struck Foote several times with hisheavy cane, and fell The blows on General Foote’s craninm were nu- merous and severe, and produced laceration of the scalp, with excessive sub-cutaneous effusion, symp- toms of compression of the brain, were superindu- ced, and the professional attendants were for n time doubtful whether these symptoms were the result of a fracture of the left parietal bone, bordering on the sagittal suture, with consequent depression of the bone, or the efiects of cebral sarguineous effusion produced by simple concussion; doubts were also en- fertained whether the severe blows on the posterior portion of the cranium had not complicated the in- jury by a separation of the lambdoidal suture. The more favorable opinion expr at the time has been verified, namely, that the symptoms, at the time so very alarming, were merely the effect of simple concussion of the brain, uncomplicated with fracture.
