talk On 'Change.
The talk Yesterday was the constant daily showers
of rain, which are rendering many Of our streets i'm
passable. Fortunately the demands Of commerce are
very limited at this moment.
We are receiving accounts from the interior Of the
cotton region. The rain has been general over the
greater part Of lower Louisiana and part Of Mssis-
sippi All accounts represent the growing cotton in
= verv critical condition. Another weeks rain will
settle the question for this season. without waiting
for an early frost. Some planters say if the rain
ceases they may make an average crop; others that
they will make half crop others are discouraged,
and do not pretend to make any estimates.
h We hone New York brokers, commission merchants
or agents, or whatever they call themselves, Eve
have 4 name for then,) next week, in making up
their epstles for the European market, will copy q
few paragraphs from the other side Of the cotton
question is instead Of taking garbled extracts
from isolated sections Of highly favorable charac-
ter, they will publish few extracts from ether sec
tons III contrary nature. These onesided accounts
are, however, doing good service. They are send
ing cotton up in Liverpool towards Sd. It is impos
sibe to predict, however, what will be its maximum,
with prospects Of crop Of 1850 900 bales staring
the commercial world in the face.
The arrivals from sea are considerable at this time
Our marine register contains the names Of several
large and fine vessels from varous ports with very
valuable cargoes There are many goods for the in
terror, with good share for the city trade. Among
the arrivals reported below is the bark Hannah
Thornton, from Pernambuco, with eight thousand
one hundred bags of sugar. This is intended for a
large refinery in St. Louis. So it will be perceived
that the many railroads through the North and West
cannot compete with natures great highway for
freightng purposes.
The Northern mail failed yesterday from beyond
Montgomery. The Persia, from Liverpool the 18th
ult., according TO the time allowed ought to have
been reported at New York last evening. The Erics-
son. of the ed, is also due.

Rouge Sugar Planter, seems in our sister parish t
be carried into more local matters. The Democrat
of East Baton Rouge in lawful assembly convened
made their parish and Representative nominations
but in making the latter considerable dissatisfaction
was evinced, and number of the most Influential
citizens of Baton Rouge have rendered nomination
