THURSDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 2e, 1857.
Talk on 'Change.

There was not so much doing on st. Charles street
yesterday as usual. However, what was wanting
there made up the levee and in other locali-
ties. Take it all and all, trade was active very ac-
tive yesterday-wholesale dealers are turning out i'm
mense sales of goods for this section. The cotton
producing country is reputed to be rich, and mer.
chants buying literally, well as paying up old
balances. Our marine list will tell of the heavy re-
cepts of Western produce. As for cotton the chances
Of any further advance in this market are remote.
Mr. Bull maintains his usual stubbornness and will not
buy only from hand to mouth. The reports which
we received some short time since of heavy receipts
of India cotton into Liverpool are likely to be con-
frmed. Allusion was made to the quantity in the
circular of Messrs. Brown, Shipley & Co., which we
published yesterday. This is the highest and best
authority. We mention the subject so that those
planters who have been holding back their cotton for
fifteen cents take warning. 1t has seldom come
under the observation Of the writer that the cotton
trade has been conducted by factors and commission
merchants of New Orleans with more ability, saga
city and intelligence than what has attended the
management Of this present season. If there are
any planters dissatisfied, it would be in vain to at
tempt to merit an approval. Under the advices
received by the three last steamers from Liverpool the
market has not been marked with any degree of
alacrity. How much cotton is held here on specula.
tion is difficult to say. The next accounts from
Liverpool will be by the Niagara of the l4th inst via
Halifax-they ought to be along tomorrow.
The mails are arriving after fashion. We have
received no New York papers later than the 14th.
There will be due this morning those of the 10th,
18th, 18th, 10Th and Goth inst. We shall be COM
PEELED to bid Mr. Postmaster General Campbell good
bye on Wednesday next.

MOBILE AND OHIO RAILROAD. = The Mobile
papers of Tuesday last publish long report from the
engineer of the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, from
which we extract the following:
Completed to Jackson and connection formed
by steamer with Cairo it will, with the Tennessee
Central and Memphis and Charleston Railroads, form
continuous line, reducing the line between Memphis
and Cairo about twenty hours. This will be more
rapid than the present route through the eastern
cities to the North, and will induce heavy travel
and the equipment should be ordered to be delivered
next fall.
Summing up, then, the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
is in successful operation for 1874 miles, the nett
earnings of which, without being extended, will be
sufficient this year to pay operating expenses, and
the interest in all the debt already incurred and
required to be contracted for its extension to Oklahoma
and Columbus from the south and to jackson from
the north. ,Gtu
The nett earnings of the past year are equal to
nearly 54 per cent in the cost to Macon and upwards
of 6 per cent. in the average length in operation
during the year. OF the remaining distance of 275a
miles of the main line to Columbus, Ky 2424 miles
are ready for the track the tmbers for laying which
are delivered on lib miles, and the company have
hand and arriving more than one hundred miles OF
iron. The balance of the graduation, masonry and
bridging is under contract, progressing and will be
completed in time for the track.
With the work SO far advanced towards compile
ton, possessing 100000 acres of land well set with
best quality pines unsurpassed by any pine lands on
the coast for timber for the production of naval
stores, and equal in value to those further north,
which readily command five to six dollars per acre
with paper amounting to $4,000 guaranteed by
responsible individuals in this city for the purchase
of ron-$2O0,O00 loaned by the State of Mississippi
to be applied above Macon, and $685. 900 cf the
bonds OF the State OF Tennessee yet to be drawn it
would be strange indeed if the iron and equipment
could not be obtained for ia miles of track and 20
miles OF branches. rH

THE IRISH RIOT AT HUDsoN.-The New York Mir
ror of the 18th furnishes the following particulars of
the Hibernian emeute the railroad at Bergen, al
ready mentioned .F.
Yesterday, the Washington Volunteers were on duty
in the city OF Hudson, where the riot occurred on Sat
urday night. 1t has been quiet since 10 o'clock on
Saturday night, except a little fighting on Sunday,
and there is further apprehension of trouble, The
current reports OF this affair have been greatly
gerated About four hundred men-oue half of whom
were Corkonians from the district OF Munster
fought against an equal number OF Connaug ghtmen
They were dispersed by the remen, and the military
and special police have arrested fifty one of them and
preserved order Four shanties were burned. Nc
lives were lost but three four men are badly in
iured and one of them, named James Kelly cannot
long survive, it, indeed, he is alive this morning The
Hudson County Artillery Of Hoboken were on guard
about the Jail last night. Upon the territory Of the
battle all is quiet, The shanties are to great extent
abandoned, and there is no probability of fresh out
break. H-

STRANGE CAsE.-James DAILY died some time ago
in Cincinnati leaving a considerable fortune. In a
recent suit it appeared that thirty years ago he
married in Ireland, and lived with his wife till she
was the mother of four children. He then came to
the United States intending, he said to send for her.
In 1881 he married in Cincinnati, and lived with his
second wife till his death, she also being the mother
of several children. few years before he died his
first wife heard that he was living in Cincinnati, and
came out from Ireland He was terribly perp!exed
by his two wives yet admitted his first marriage The
second wife, however, succeeded in inducing him to
convey all his property to trustees for her benefit.
The first wife brought suit for dover, and the court

One blow inflicted deep wound directly into the
brain over the left eye, extending to the top of the
head Two others were on the right Of the skull,
causing immediate insensiblity, though he retained
life for about eighteen hours. The circumstances
rendered more painful by the fact that the
