The week commences unusually active and lively
On the Levee. The arrivals of boats since Saturday
last have been larger than in any corresponding time
for this season. Of they all bring full loads
The arrivals from sea have not been large but We
have to note the arrival of one vessel the Spirit of
the Wave, from Rio de Janciro, with twelve thousand
bags of coffee. This, we should suppose, might be
called toerably large cargo to come to city where
grass is represented to be growing in the streets. We
shall have other cargoes direct from the same place
but none of the magnitude of this The trade with
Rio direct is increasing. In addition to the large
cargo of flour, say 1000 barrels which was cleared
the 10th inst for that port another cargo of 200
barrels was cleared on Saturday last. This shows a
large increase over any previous season, and confirms
the remarks we made time since, that flour can
be obtained on better terms in this market for eypor
taton than in any other market in the United States
and the ease with which this port is reached in the
winter season will give it a decided preference over
any other. Shpowners will not order their vessels
to northern ports, to encounter northern gales aud
icebound coast unless they are extra paid for it, if
they find employment in southern ATTITUDES CON
seqently the whole Of the South American trade can
be secured for New Orleans. If we had our manu-
factories for cotton goods established and in operation,
as ought to have the vast export of cotton goods
from New England could be made from here at lower
rates. and great share Of the South American trade
secured to this section. 1t is within our memory that
three tourhs Of the trade Of the United States with
what was formerly called the Spanish main was tran
sacted through this city. That country has however,
been cut up and distracted by revolutions and
couter-revolutions, that its general trade has not
been very profitable to any country for the last two
decade years. A good share of the Brazilian trade
is, however, open and accessible to New Orleans
| In the general movements to-day, there was some
thing said about and going in cotton 1t is very posi-
tive that believers long crops are to be disappointed
Mr. Bull will have to up to L and l23 cents for
middng, provided he wants the cotton; if he does
not want it, it would be waste of time to argue the
question about price, supply, or consumption. If he
can stop his mills spnncrs and all, he is i'll more
independent position than we have heretofore allowed
| him to be. Although the entire crop of cotton can
not be expected to be consumed in this country yet,
the exports for this from this port for Northern
ports, show large increase last say, 90,
| lis bales against G. 500.
| in another column we give some figures and re-
marks on the great and absorbing question.
| The mail from Northern cities continues to be re-
cevcd very irregular. Yesterday. we received dates
| from New York to the 9Th inst. only The 9th were
due. The next advces from Liverpool may he by the
City of Baltimore, of the I'd inst, at Philadelphia.
The Cunard steamer from Liverpool tor Bo,ton on the
9TH inst, will be due on Thursday next.
