New Orleans daily crescent. [volume] ([New Orleans, La.]) 1851-1866, 1856-06-19
Talk on 'CIsnnge. :

Late advices were received to-day from Europe
having been brought to New York by the Hayre
steamer Arago, and to Philadelphia by the steamer
City 0f Baltimore 1t is rare thing to receive any
advices from Europe via Philadelphia, and we record
the circumstance something that has not occurred
for many years. With the exception Of slight effect
on -four, the accounts in general, have not had any
influence whatever on market. The stock Of cot
ton is reduced too low, and tobacco is too much in
favor for any foreign accounts to have the least effect
on our market Nothing but a rumpus with England
can disturb the general nature of our produce mark
cts. Breadstuffs are expected to decline - every.
prudent dealer has made up his mind for that The
nature of the political intelligence can hardly be
arrived at We must wait the arrival of the America
the next steamer Of the 18th inst. from Liverpool for
full details-how the dismissal of Mr. Champion and
the acknowledgement of Nicaragua will be received,
before anything really conclusive on the subectwll
be reached. The Americas advices will be due to-
day at Halifax.
There was considerable activity on our levee yes
terday. The light draught boats for Red river and
Attakapas were loading and, from appearances, and
the quantity Of freight it would be supposed there
not to be an end to the trade this season. SO long
as boat drawing only fifteen to twenty inches can
find water wherein to float. From observations,
we should suppose it would require only moderate
heavy dew to float such boats as were at the evee
yesterday with signs out for Shreveport and Natchi
toches-say the De De, Jefferson, Camden and Lin
den-there was, also, there the valiant Swamp Fox,
which takes its cognomen from one of our revolt
tionary heroes-al loading for the great Northwest
section Of our State.
We also took view of the Latitte, which bears the
name Of one of the most renowned buccaneers Of the
first quarter Of the present century though it is dis
puted whether he was good honest blacksmith or
coadjutor of Mitchell the most distinguished pirate
of the present century, and who many times made
the passage from the mouth Of the Mississippi river
to the island Of Cuba in an open boat, called man
of-war cutter. As we are DEPRESSING from talk on
Change to his history desire to to the bust
ness doing at the upper steamboat landing, not
emitting to inquire for what trade Latte is intended
The arrivals from the West, with heavy loads of most
every kind of the rich products from that fruitful and
teeming section of country, have tended, with the
late foreign advces to depress the price of corn -four
and wheat nevertheless, there are buyers always
hand, and moreover they are likely to be on hand
during the entire season. Money continues easy of
access for all business purposes, and those of our
Western merchants who intend to sink or swim with
New Orleans, will find remunerative returns in all
they undertake. As regards those come to-day and
go tomorrow individuals we have nothing to say nor
to commend in their movements, as we may expect
to hear Of many of them traducing and vifying our
city, its character and population. Some taking
their departure perhaps not to return, and possibly
they may wei be spared.
