y TALK ON CHANGE.

There was an occasional gathering yesterday on
the several corners Of Csrondelet street and envrons
and though the middle Of August is at hand, the
locality did not present greater inanmstion than we
have known it at this season. When the cotton
presses Of Mr.. Freret, senior, and Messrs. Freret
Brothers occupied some two or three squares of the
now most prominent and active parts Of Carondelet
street, the middle Of August Was the precursor Of
real and general state Of pleasure and Publication.
The old Bonapartist, the late Pierre Cuillion who
had his residence and garden on the corner Of GRAY
Ter and Carondelet, and who celebrated every year
the memory Of Napoleon the First, particularly in
the month of August, when the old man would illu.
inmate his garden, and send up his sky rockets SO
we can talk OF Carondelet street as being place
before the massive and fine brick stores, which now
adorn both sides, were erected. There have been
jolly times on rue Carondelet in years gone by
In the month of August, when cotton, tobacco bills
OF exchange, notes of hand cent per cent were re-
garded as too sordd and Insignificant to command
thought or talk. We now meet on the flags, and
the confab Is Of the expected next steamer how is
cotton what is the rate of sight what is this OF
that stock worth what do you think of real estate
what is the price Of insurance scrip what about
Tehuantepec what about the purchase and extern
sion Of the Mexican Gulf road? Though the dullest
season Of the year is passing, there are as many
general inquiries as in the active season.
The weather is very favorable. The sanitary con.
dion Of the city is good. The crops of cotton and
sugar, as well as sweet potatoes, are progressing
finely. New cotton is coming in by every boat, as
will be seen by marine register Western produce
is also coming to market freely. There is more Of
less business doing on Tchoupitoulas, Poydras and
Tov
week from Northern and foreign ports after long pas
sages, particularly those from Northern ports They
bring full cargoes and the general stocks of our mer
chants will be replenished and partly filled up in
fact many Of our wholesale obbers and dealers, with
their supernumaries, will have something more than
talking to attend to. There are several vessels with
full cargoes still due. They will be in port with the
| first easterly wind if it lasts long enough.
The further talk was that the contractors for TIT
paving of Camp, Canal and Magazine streets art
making very slow progress in fact, just no progress
at all. Two or three squares have been completed
on Prytana street, above jackson but no indication
Of the completion of Camp street is perceivabe
The talk is that some Of the contractors have under
taken more than they can carry through. CamK
| street ought to have been completed to Julit
by this time, to meet the re.openng of business il
October. Some people talk that the stone was no
available and the talk is that paving two squares
separate contract, just to save the obligation, is
| satisfactory. II the necessary materials were no
available three months ago, it is now about time the
should be forthcoming.
There were parts Of several mails received yester
day. which were better than no mails at all thoug
the contents Of the newspapers received dc not he'll
US out in our talk, yet we dislike that one of GU
contemporaries should be prone to faultfnding AM
carpng at the employees of the Post-Offce, becaus
they retire from work at o'clock in the evening
after working from o'clock in the morning thes
long sultry days. and seven days in the week at that
So long as the PostOfice Department is not BAN
boozed towards the Florida peninsular route fo
transportation of the great Northern mails the pub
lie will not complain Of trang delay in the delivery
Of mail matter during these times OF stagnancy
The dates yesterday received from NewYork were Il
| the 9th inst. The next steamer from Europe vii
probably be the City of Baltimore from Liverpool
the Sd. The North America OF the same date is du
at Quebec, or the Vanderbilt from SOUTHAMPTON d
the same. The City of Baltimore, by stopping a
Cork, will bring dates one day later, say OF the 4tt
The next Cunard boat will be the Asia for New York
but suppose we have cart and stage loads Of INTEL
gence for month to come, what effect will it hay
on our barren and quiet market? Not much

The water of these springs is possessed of mar
