TRH CHIT-CHAT OF PARIS. ‘Whe Hippodrome Festival The Flight of Jupiter swith Ewropa—Balloon Projects—ttahan Opera— Grand Opera— Viardot—- Athoni—Rachel— The Theaters and New Play:— Rossini—Duels— Proudhon a Father, &¢., S¢., $¢ ; “The most important event in the capital, since ‘my last letter, is the entertainment given on Sun- -day last_by the artists of the Hippodrome, on the immense ground of the Champ de Mars. About 15,000 persons were present, and this number, at two francs a head, makes « very large amount for the qmapager. The festival went off in a very brilliant manner, and every part was received with the ut- most'applause. Splendid weather favored the féte; the temperature was as mild as that of a spring day. The tournament produced a magnificent effect. It consisted of a great procession, composed of a ‘hundred haibardiers, clothed in garments of the ‘time of Francois the Ist; six heralds, with trum- pets and banners; two hundred archers, the half wearing a red uniform, the other, a green tabard. <All these actors were on horseback. Then came the judges of the tournament, the princes, the ladies of the court, and, finally, sixteen knights covered with steel armor, and having the lance dm the hand; the procession was terminated bya @reat number of pages. In short, the aspect of the assemblage was splendid The “ pass of arms” was well carried off; several chevaliers were de’ Jarcownés, and many lances ‘were broken in the usual style. The Dame of Beauty then crowned the vanquishers, and the aufares celebrated their triumph. This tourna- ment lasted about an hour, end every part of it was ‘witneseed with the utmost uttention by all be- holders. To,one who his read the books of @hivalry, it was a very reimerkable personation of the renowned festival of the middle age. pgs praice is le ay tog preault, ihe hroned of ippodrome, for the mise en scéne of this joute ‘d'honneur. : ‘The entertainment concluded with the ascension of Madame Poitevin, who, representing the charac- ter of E was carried on the back of amam- ‘moth bull, by whom Jupiter wis personated. The “ divine” animal was suspenied to the gigantic ‘balloon Zodiac; and, despite his displeasure to leave the her des es, he was raised, carrying on his, back the audacious a-ronaut, dressed in tights, and only covered by a thin gauze. Mr. Poitevin ‘was in the car with another gentleman, and the ‘balloon, after having passed over Paris in the direc- tion of northwest, disappeared in the cloude, and went down at six o’clock, at Aubervilliers, mear the fort ofthat name The aeronauts were received with much hospitality by the officers of the barracks, and atten o'clock they returned to Paris, ready to resume their daring enterprise on gome future day. 1 have to mention an experiment made, the other day, in the Hippodrome, at which the whole press of was congregated. There were about two hundred members of the press, who saw there the most wonderfol sight. Mr. Arnault, I think, has decidedly discovered the means to direct the Dalloon. There was an aerostar, about fifteen feet wide, and twenty long, to which’was attached a iece of mechanism, by the stroagth of which the was sent against the wiad, in any direc- tion. The explanations given by the inventor are very good, and, perhaps, in a few imoaths, when the big ergine is made, it will prove as successfal ‘as was the * sample” which we saw the other day.

Humph: New York. tucky; Singular Sect tn Parts. The police has just arrested several members of an illicit society of an extraordinary character, which was in the habit of meeting at No.9 Rue de l’Orillon. It was a sort of religious sect styling itself **Les Béguins,” or ‘*Anabaptistes,” or “Mul- tipliants;” the supreme head of this sect, named Digonnet, and honered by his adherents with the surname of “Le Bon Dieu,” had established the central and supreme se: t St. Jean de Bonne- fonds (Loire.) A person named G. had imported this pretended religion into Paris, and succeeded in making @ certain number of proselytes of each sex, who had, nevertheless, been on the decrease during the last few months, on account of the vigiionce of the police, who had already driven the sectarians from one of their haunts at Belleville. The Beguins have a creed which differs on many joints from the various persuasions generally nown. One of their tenets enjoins them not to work and not to care for the morrow; marriage is allowed, but only on condition of a rigid observance of chastity between man asd wife; on the contrary, young girls are taught to give way, without opposition, to every temptation— such being the will of Le Bon Dieu Digonnet Religious meetings take place veveral umes a week, and on Saturdays the sectarians are bound to repair to the place of meeting, when the high priest opens the promoting: by communivating to the belevers the letters he has received The president then preaches a sermon, in which he generally sy een perfect faith in tne God Digonnet; after which hymns are chanted, ending in a gene- ral ery of * Light forever! Down with modes- ty!’ At that moment all the lights are suddenly put out, and the meeting remains in complete obd- scurity for the epace of about twenty minutes. At the end of that time light is restered, and the pre- sident recommends believers to give up their su- perfluities, not to work, &c. Being apprised that the police had its eye upon them, their songs had of late lost a — deal of their intensity, aad mat tresses had n set up against the windows. Nevertheless, the police penetrated, on the night of the 12th, tanto their place of meeting, where they found 38 persons, wearing the insignia of the sect, which consists, in the case of women, of caps trimmed with red and white crape ; and for men of a black cord crowning their foreheads. There were eight men present, two boys, eleven Women, six girls, of from 15 to 25 years of age, one of 13, end two little girls of the age of 7to9. The house wes searched, and many papers, pamphlets. insig- nia, &c., were seized —Galignanis Messenger. The Culture of American Cotton tn India. (From the Manchester (Kng.) Guardian | All the private letters we have seen, by the over: land mail, confirm the statements we recently made, that with some few exceptional cases— muinly due to loca! peculiarities of soil, or to igno- rence of the conditions of successful culture —the culture of cotton in India, from the New Orleans seed, is progressing, both as to quality and quantity, in a way that cannot fail to be satisfactory to all teking on interet in this great and important ex- periment. We recently noticed the progress made and making in the Dharwar district, and also in that of Twnevelly. We shall now refer to the districts im the province of Candeish. This, it may be recollected, was one of the sites of the experi- ments by the American cotton planters, sent out to introduce the culture of the New Orleans variety of cotton there. Messrs. Simpson and Blount were, me, in the early period of the experiment, in different parts of the district; but their sowings, at first, were without a successful result. The reason of this failure is now sufficiently uader- stood. Their ¢xperiments were conducted in the southern parts of the province, in the open — which, besides being of trees, have a dry, ari¢ whereas moisture is one of the at condi- of fertility. They determined, however, to see if they could send the native indigenous cotion, in a clean state, to market; and in this respect they were remarkably successful. At Bombay, their native clean cotton sold at higher prices than the New Orleans cotton; simply from the cir- cumstance that the Bombay merchants did not koow which was the best cotton, when both were put before them. At the same time Mr. Simpson expressed a strong conviction that the New Orleans cotton would succeed in other parts of the province nearer the hills, where there is greater moisture in the soii. These parte of the country have been sult has proved bis anticipa! culture of American cotton t! hv increasing, and, in the opinion of those who are in position to judge, C4 4 few more years are re- ired firmly to establish the cultare of this cotton in such sites, in the districts of Candeish. In the first site of experiment there, and, indeed, in all dry localities, moisture is the great desideratura; and when this is not otherwise supplied, irmgation by canal becomes ex desirable and im- it.

But in the dry Decean, which has scarce- Zz any trees, except in those en of the States of ttarah and Colapore, which lie in the vicinity of the Syadree Ghauts, it will be difficult to‘iatroduce the American cotton seed, without irrigstion. It would de a great, indeed a double boon, it govern- ment would cause this bare and arid district to be planted with trees; for this would correct the ex- cessive drynese of the soil, and would in time eup- Py tne for the wants of the people. e learn from one private letter that a Bombay mercantile firm have established at Dhuramgaum, an angent belonging to their house, chiefly to buy cotton grown from 'American seed, and also tne indigenous cotton, to as large an amount as he can rocure. The same firm have arranged to take a large ly of American gins from the East India Company’s factory, at Dhurumgaum. The ryots, too, ure buying these gins, having speedily become sensible of their great superiority over tl tive churka. therefore, be fairly ant soen be in @ position to si considerable quantity ef Indian New Orleans cot- ton, in clean and good condition. The only draw- back of any importance is that arising from the thin lation of the district, the large proportion of fallow land, and the extensive jungle in some parts; these causes, to some degree, retard the ex- tension of the cotton cultivatien. By the latest advices, it is encouraging to learn that the cotton plants sown in the bhurumgaum district of Candeish were looking very healthy. Those sown and irrigated before the rainy season were most luxuriant Mr. Simpson is stated to have 200 beegas of land (about 67 acres) sown with American cotton seed; the plants, by the latest advices, in a very healthy and prosperous state. Itis impossible te receive these generally concurrent and exceedingly satisfactory accounts of the progress of the cotion culture, and espe- cially of the New Orleans variety, in various parts ot India, without a conviction that if the efforts to promote its extension, on the part of the East India Company, be continued for another season or two, and the ryots be afforded that stimulus to extended ous which is given by a large and increasi demand, at fair prices, we may look ¢re ong for a large end rapidly increasing supply of cotton from India of that kind and quality mos‘ suitable to the manufacturers here. ‘hus, as greater experience of the habits of the American plant in its new climat a more careful observation of the ind especially of the best time for sowing, quired and applied by the native growers, all see the foundation laid for the cultivation of a great staple product over vast regions of our Indian territory, which, while it tet ge beaefits the people of those dependencies, and extends not only the agriculture but the commerce of [adia, will be of incalculable advanti to the great staple manufacture of the United Kingdom. Hon. John M. Berrien and the Union. The following is the letter of Judge Berrien, explaining his reason for declining the nomination to the Georgia Convention, tendered him by the resistance party of Savannah. It will be observed that his sole reason was the necessity for his presence in Washington, at the period of the as- sembling at that Convention :— Arvanta, Nov. 10, 1850. Dean Six:—On my arrival here, to-day, | hed the honor to receive your communication, as Chairman of the Union Southera Rights Party, of Chatham, announcing to me my nomination, by that portion of my fellow citizens, as a candidate to represent the county of Chatham, in the ap- proaching Convention, and seize the earliest mo- ment to offer to them, through you, my respectful acknowledgements for this manifestation of their confidence. | beg you, my dear sir, to make these acknowledgments acceptable to your associates, and to add to them the assurance, that with opin- ions and feelings unchanged, with an unfaltering conviction of our wrongs, which reflection only serves to confirm, and a lively apprehension of | further aggression, which each day's intelligence but serves to strengthen. I would willingly have shared in the labors of the Convention, if such had been the desire of my fellow-citizens of Chatham, but for the reason which [ will proceed to state. Before I left Washington, in a communication | from a highly valued friend, it was suggested to me that I ought to be a member of that Convention. The subject having been thus presented to me, the deep interest which I feel in the result of its de- liberations, induced me to retlect seriously on the propriety of accepting « nomination, if it should be tendered to me. And first, it seemed to me that, as the acts of the last Ceagress will constitute an importent portion of the subjects on which the Gon- vention will deliberate, it would be more appropri- ate for the members of that Congress to leave to others the judgment to be pronounced on their con- duct. This, ewever? is a consideration of mere personal feeling, involving no question of right, and no conflict of duty, and which, therefore, might be overcome; but there is a difficulty which, I pre- sume, must have been overlooked ia nomimating me, which cannot be so easily surmounted. My official duty will require me to be at Wash- ington during the sittiog of the Convention.
