Talk on ,Change.

There was more liveness on the streets yesterday.
People are focking into the city by hundreds. The
Jackson Railroad and the Memphis routes appear to
be the favored ones. The weather was prominent
topic of talk yesterday. By this time all the sugar
houses and engines are in full blast in fact it is
splendid weather for sugar planters and good time
for cotton picking and balng. Buyers not plenty
as yet, the mass of them having deferred their ap
pearence they will, however, be along in numbers
in ten to fifteen days. As regards the views of Eng
sh spinners we learn that orders have come out for
Addling cotton to be laid down in Liverpool at 3d.
to 63d There not much probability of these orders
being executed for the present. Our circulars that
went out from New York by the Africa on last Wed
nesday for Liverpool was Of the following purport
CRoP-Our advces continue to be of the most
favorable character from all sections. We alluded in
last to a report of white frost on the 18th inst
We are advised that it occurred on that date in
Tennessee, north Alabama and northern Georgia, not
severe enough to do any damage No limit can be
fixed for the yield until killing frost occurs, as all
conversant with the nature of the cotton plant well
know. Planters are bOasting OF the effects of the
continued fine weather, their large pckings, ETC.
The weather during September and October has BEEN
as one of our correspondents writes, " wonderfully
favorable for the cotton CROP Our friends advise
us that the figures of 100000 bales are longer

New York for the week up to the 9th ult, On the

The weather has been fine for another week, and
owing to the better result of the gathering by indi-

CHEss,-Letter from Mr.. Morphy-The London
Era, received by the Persia, contains manly and
straightforward letter from Paul Morphy to H. staun
ton wherein it is stated that the insinuatons in the
chess column of the Illustrated London News [edted
by Il. Staunton) as to Mr., Morphy beingun provided
with funds etc. care not strictly in accordance with
fact Mr.. Morphy says he leaves the matter of ap-
pointing seconds and arranging preliminares with
the gentlemen Of the St. George Chess Club, and re-
quests Mr.. s. to fix date for commencing the match.
We make the following extract:
Permit me to repeat what have invariably de-
cared in every chess community | have had the
honor Of entering that am not professional player
that never wished to make any skill possess the
means of peeuniary advancement-and that my
earnest desire is never to play for any stake but
honor. My friends in New Orleans, however, sub
sCrbed certain sum, without any Countenance from
me, and that sum has been ready for you TO meet O
considerable time past. Since my arrival in Paris
have been assured by numerous gentlemen, that the
value OF those stakes can be Immediately increased to
any amount but, for myself personally, reputation
is the only incentive recognize.
In the match with Mr. Harrwitz Mr.. Morphy re.
fused to receive the amount of stakes, Mr.. Hanwitz
after being beaten in five straight games pleaded i'll
ness excuse for postponng the match for fifteen
days, which was longer than Mr. Morphy, owing to
previous engagements, could remain in Paris. Mr.
HarrWitz however, was not too i'll to play with all
others who wished to meet him at the Cafe de Ia
Regence.
The letter referred to above is not printed in the
latest News, Mr.. Stauntou excusings absence on ac
count of want of room. 1t is to be feared that Mr.
Staunton will avoid the match If the socalled King
of chess does meet the American boy, we shall see
chess played as well it be. It will then be for
Mr. Staunton to justify his contemptuous criticisms
OF Mr.. Morphys games and Mr.. Morphy will, for the
first time, have an inducement to play as well as he
knows how. Private letters state that Mr.. Morphy
will probably return home before the close of tbs
year.

THE RECENT New YORK TRAGEDY.-The New
York Herald gives, briefly the following account of
the fearful tragedy which took place in that city on
the night of the 26th ult:
An appalling tragedy occurred at the residence Of
Mr.. Francis Gouldy a retired merchant, residing at
No. 2l7 West Ihirtieth street, on Tuesday night
The eldest son, Frank, young man, nineteen years
old returned home about 10 o'clock, after all the
family had retired His father chided him for keeping
such late hours and spoke to him about his extrava
giant course of living, when the youth retired to his
room, Vowing vengeance on the whole household
Arming himself with hatchet, knife and pistol, he
soon afterwards proceeded to execute his heish in.
ention. Descending to the bedroom where his father
was sitting he struck him in the head with the axe
until he was insensble; then turning upon his
mother, he attacked her with the same weapon
then his brothers, Nathaniel and Charles, aged four
teen and six years. who to the assistance Of their
father were assailed. The attention of the iend was
then called to the two servant girls Joanna Murphy
and Elizabeth Carr and they in turn also horribly
butchered and finally the wretehed young man
wound up the nights atrocities by blowing his brains
out with pistol. Out of the six persons injured
probably four will die from the effects of their wounds

FROM OPELoUsAs.-We extract the following from
the Opelousas Courier of Saturday last:

FROM OPELoUsAs.-We extract the following from
the Opelousas Courier of Saturday last
On Tuesday night last at about halfpast II o'clock
the wind blew severely from the southeast, blowing
down fences, trees and several diapidated houses
about town. At about o'clock the wind ceased and
heavy rain came pouring on as if the cataracts
OF heaven had suddenly bursted. On Wednesday
morning the weather was clear, although the wind
raised again at about 10 O'Clock and kept pretty
brisk until the evening.
The nearer we are getting to the close Of cotton
picking the more we are convinced that the present
crop will be equal if not above that of last year not
withstanding the visit of caterpilars in almost every
quarter OF our parish Besides, it appears that the
cotton is of superior quality and invariably clean.
A sample of the sugar which is now making on the
plantation Of Mr. Joseph Beraud, on Bayou Teche, in
this parish, has been deposited at our office some
few days ago. and can be there seen It is the only
sample we have seen OF this years crop, but we do
not hesitate in pronouncing it the very best quality
the finest we have seen for upwards of ten years.
That article will certainly command high price,
either for expectation or for home consumption.
