Talk on Change.

Talk on Change.
1&g ELS 1..-..
Yesterday was another of the beautiful days of the
sunny south. The streets were crowded, and the
talk on change was of more than ordinary inter-
est-embracing, as it did, the movements Of the
Legislature which appears to be taking matters very
easily and presume very pleasantly IN our city.
It would be supposed, from the awful accounts OF
thuggng and assassination which have been 50 pro-
life for months past that It would be the height of
temerity for stranger to visit New Orleans and we
are astonished at the ashness Of the members OF the
Legislature in venturing within the domnlons OF
Mayor Waterman We have not much to say, nor
are there many remarks made on change, about this
superlative indiscretion of Legislators but Mr.
Smith remarks that if he entertained corresponding
views with the Attorney General and some members
Of the Legislature who said something about appoint
ing committee to inquire into the causes OF disturb
ance in New Orleans, he would emigrate at once
from the Crescent City he would not stop an hour
in such place he would go to Hong.kong, Hams
chatka, any where; yea, he would go to Bond street
or the Fifth avenue New York. Well, we are sorry,
but we suppose we must put up with our friends
presence short time longer. Well as to the Legis-
lature, which we are at all times glad to meet on
Camp street, we learn the members will complete
their arduous duties account of the States health
by Monday next. We have much pleasure in
announcing that the committee on banks has compile
ted the investigation and counted all the double
eagles eagles, halfeagles, quartereages halfdoars,
three cent pieces and all in the vaults of the banks
We are greatly relieved and now think the general
market will move on quietly This is the opinion on
change. --e..-#t.u -.eg&
Business was very lively yesterday on the landings
Steamers are commencing to arrive freely from the
West, and with the very mild weather everything
looks auspicious We have room for further
remarks at this moment. ss- "...y.-... ~ ....

the banks of the city. We have some late intelli-
gence from Liverpool, and give below some, of our
