Talk on 'Cllange.

The great number Of arrivals of steamboats, with
full cargoes the numerous arrivals of fine and large
buTthenRome vessels from sea- since Saturday last and
the activity in cotton were part Of the topics for
mark on change yesterday. 1t is almost unnecessary
to state that the steam and ship landings present
most lively and animated aspect. If it would not
rule the temper of some OF those alarmsts and anti
quated citizens, we would urge them to take a walk
ifWalk they can among SO much produce and buste)
today from the New Pelican Cotton Press, Fourth
District to the Leyee Steam Cotton Press, Third Dis
trict, they would cheering and interesting
sight than Paris or perhaps London could exhibit so
far as commerce is concerned. True, London makes
. great show in the world aud Paris a great noise
80 they do palaces and buildings, and other things
which we are not ambitious OF following.
The receipts Of cotton for the tWcnty-four hours
ending at o'clock last evening were by the Princess
from Yieksburg, 3,496 bales {; Pelican, Arkansas
river, 2,067 John Snpnds Memphis, 8 764 Sultan,
Flying Cloud Belle Gates 672 !; Capitol 500 :; C
D,Jr., from Bayou Sara, III; jackson Railroad 45l
bales. Total, il, li4. For Saturday and Sunday the
receipts were 10, 7e3. Total q ST. bales The num-
Der Of steamboats, 3 the number Of vessels from sea
25 number fcoasters at the Upper Basin 81. Total
so arrivals, TO which be added the regular daily
trains ofthe Jackson and Opelousas railroads. Well
with all the arrivals, and stock of cotton of over
100000 bales, with good supplies Of four corn wheat
bacon large stocks of groceries, excepting sugar
and we suppose about a medium stock of gunny
cloth and gunny bags, we think We can get through
the week pretty comfortably. Some of our banks
have more funds than they have calls for, and
lenders are looking about for good operations, and
exchange is going down to a rate that will induce
gold to come this way
The movements in cotton were again large yesieT
day, being chiefly for France and Boston, with a
couple of thousand bales for the continent. English
buyers arc reserying their powers and force for the
great contest which is to of between this time
and the last Of January. English spnners have got
an idea into their heads that they and the importers
by not ordering cotton from the United States viii
cause shipments to be made planters account, and
on lts arrival u Liverpool they will purchase it al
their own prices say at about two pounds sterling loss
per bae, as it will have to be sold to meet bills which
may be drawn against it. Factors and planters will
OF course, understand the why and wherefore ne
orders for the staple are in market, or why burar
are not more numerous. Though there are man,
orders with discretionary powers and many rnrt
under limits which are believed to lie within the ran c
of eleven cents, from to cent per pound beloy
the present market rates.
In another column will be found circular from A,
eminent house in Liverpool. As it is SO seldom W
get anything in the old Quaker style, the content
&se of peculiar interest at this moment
The mail via Mobile, failed beyond Augusta G,
The European mails of the 10Th, from Liverpool b
the atlantic at New York, will be due this nlornn,
