TALK ON CHANGE.

The great boulevards Canal and Carondele streets,
were not hard pressed notwithstanding of an ex-
citabe nature was perceivable among the small gath
erings here and there. So of Tchouptoulas and
Poydras streets-quietness ruled supreme; not more
80 than usual at this season of the year. There were
some movements in cotton, some little doing in West
ern products and would have been large transactions
in tobacco if buyers offers had been accepted In
the meantime, the talk is that we are getting along
very well. The last intelligence from Europe of the
lst has been fully discussed, but the discussion has
not resulted pro con. Every holder Of produce is
prepared to sell out stock in trade with the drppings
or perqustes at some price, taking care to set as high
value as possible. In the meantime there is some
talk of the growing crops, which are reported to be
progressing very favoraby.
The mail, yesterday, brought details of the late
destructive fire at Columbus Ca; sO4O bales of cot
ton were burned, OF which 1900 bales belonged to
planters. About threefourths of the gross quantity
was insured. The talk is that cotton might as well
be passing to its destined markets on the sea-board
or TO Europe as to be stored and held at inland towns
for more favorable, or higher prices.
The arrivals of steamboats, at the evee are as free az
usual at this season Of the year, those from the West
bring good cargoes, and no deficiency in any of the
multarous articles of western productions is appre-
hended for this season, or the coming year.
AS much of the talk at this juncture is of the war
IN Europe, and the enquiry is often made what will
be the next steamer? we have to state that the Eu-
ropa was to leave Liverpool the 4th inst for Bos
Ton; the Kangaroo on the Sth, for New York; the
Anglo-saxon on the sth for Quebec. The Bremen
steamer Saxonia was to have left SOUTHAMPTON on
the 3d and the Persia to have left on Saturday
the 18th inst. As the Persia never was the hardin
ger OF favorable commercial or financial intelligence,
she brings this time encouraging advices it will be
a mirac e.
The denlzens and residents on our great thorough
iafe, Camp street, have been fattering themselves
tnat the square block pavement so auspciously COM
menced would have been continued at least as far as
Girod street before it would be suspended. The talk
IS that the work is to be stopped at the corner of
Grayier street; this is confirmed from the move
ments observable for some days past. As Camp
street is important street and all the travel via
omnibus from the Stock Landing passes through
Poydras and Camp well the Chartres street line
IL suggested that the contractors continue as far as
Girod street forthwith, before commencing other Sec
tons of contracts with which they have been favored
Why tan talize us on Camp street with two squares of
repairs? AS the contractors have eighteen months
time to complete the paving of three streets it is
hoped they will reconsider their movement and pro
coed with the work on Camp street, as far as sug.
gested, without intermisson. If they are short of
materials, that places the matter in another position
We, however, learn that it is contemplated to pave
one or two squares Prytania street, and then as
many more on Magazine street. This is making A
small business and causing great delay in very inn.

The mails came through yesterday with dates as
late as due.
