THURSDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER IS, 1853


The talk yesterday was of nothing in particular.
The early part Of the day taken up by the peru
sal of the correspondence from Europe, which came
to hand by the Asia at New York, They write now
from Liverpool of I'd. as being the highest notch for
Good Midding cotton in that market. This is not at
all encouraging for the 375 900 bales now en- route for
Europe from the United States. Notwithstanding
the depressing adyces by the Vanderbilt, and still
more depressing expected there sales yesterday
as will be seen under our commercial head.
In financial circles, or among those connected with
the Mexican trade there is considerable talk in regard
to the late mandate received by the Superintendent
Of the Branch Mint from the Director Of the Mint at
Philadelphia in regard to the purchase of silver coin
and bullion; the Superintendent having received in
sructons not to purchase silver only at 81 q per o.
instead Of 81 224 Unless some very good and salts
factory reasons be brought forward in approval
of this change, it will not, it is supposed, be CON
tnued but for short time, or until the Secretary Of
the Treasury is advised Of the very great inconyeni
ence and injustice attending the change.
Business was unusually lively on the levee and
landings generally so do the depots Of the Jefferson
Railroad, the Pontehartraiu Railway, the New Basin
or the basin Of the Upper Canal, the Old Basin
Carondelet, partake Of the general resumption Of
Mexican Gulf Railroad depot, there is also manifest
improvement Abiding to this road-when will mea-
sures be taken to extend it, as contemplated orig
nally, to the Gulf shore? Our Mississippi neighbors
are talking great deal about the Gulf and Ship
Island Railroad from jackson to the Gulf shore but
it is much easier to hold meetings and conventions in
favor Of railroads, than it is to build and construct
them. Ship Island Harbor is very good anchorage
place for vessels but for there ever being sufficient
business for railroad from Jackson to the seashore,
opposite the island is idle to talk about during the
present century Of all the numerous railroads CON
structed in the United States, there have not been
more than four five but what have cost from fifty
to one hundred per cent. than the estimates In
times gone by there was an immense subscription to
construct railroad from Brandon Miss, to the sea-
shore at Mississippi City. This Company was called
the Brandon and Mississippi Railroad Company. The
! survey was made some few trees cut down, and a
kind Of wharf constructed at Mississippi City, now
distinguished as very pleasant summer resort but
no further progress in the railroad was made. AS
this is the era Of railways the present projected road
may be commenced and carried through but as there
is prospect of bank notes under twenty dollars being
prescribed in that State, no subscription in paper
money, it is supposed, will be wanted.
1t will be seen by the correspondence from Liver
pool by the Asia, that the telegraph advices of IN
favorable prospects in Manchester are not confirmed
The letter Of Messrs. Colin Campbell Son, published
elsewhere says, but neither here QtverpooD nor
in Manchester is there any anxiety manif, sted with
regard to the future nor indeed can it well be other
wise 50 long as the prospects Of trade continue en-
couraging and money bears almost nominal inter
est This does not surely, look like an unfavorablt
