TALK ON ,CHANGE.

! The gatherings on Carondelet street were numer
Gus. The squads at the different corners might b,
taken as conclusive that there falling off il
the attractions of King Cotton, yet the king ruled
supreme. 1t was cotton here, and cotton there
and cotton yet in the fields was taken into con
sideration by the Bears The old habitues of the
flags say that body of new corners has appeared
on our market within the past fifteen days, whe
take freely of all kinds and grades of the staple
Our factors do not care a straw who purchase the
cotton so long as the checks are good before p
NJ. The gentleman in black might appear ON tht
flags, whisk his tail, and say, gentlemen, take
it all at eleven cents round" The most remarka
BILE feature in the cotton market is the regulart,
in prices There does not appear to be any of the
speculative tendencies which have characterized
operations in previous years, but the purchases
and movements seem to be based OIL the inmuta
BILE laws of supply and demand. It is manifest
that the advices from Manchester corroborate the
impression that spinners realizing great profits
and that the demand for yarns and manufactured
goods is unabated. So far so good. There was
some talk of trouble between England and France.
If the Thunderer of Europe Nhe London Times)
had it's sway hostilities between the two countries
might be regarded as certain before the advent of
the year 1860. 1t will take the wisest man of this
age to fathom the views of the Nephew of my
Uncle. Our opinion and talk is, that England may
as well be prepared for the worst, which means a
general war in Europe. All the talk yesterday,
however, did not center European affairs, for it
is hoped that the United States can subsist for a
year and day, at least regardless Of events and
disturbances in Europe. However, it is admitted
that general war in Europe would unsette many
arrangements, and be productive of great losses to
our great Southern interests, which would, of
course, react on other sections of our conederacy
But there was some other talk, say of this nature
" was John Brown hung yesterday" Yes, there
is no doubt of it, and that question is settled
There is some talk that there are many travelling
agents in the South at this time who require the
closest watching; though not exactly of the cut
throat order Of John Brown, Wendell Phillips,
Giddings and so on, they are dangerous prowlers
And, while talking of John Brown, the question is
brought up of the recent nominations for the Office
of Mayor of the city of New York. Among the
candidates nominated by the Abolition and Black
Republican party (both are the same) is one Mr..
George Opdyke, who for several years was pro-
prieter and kept a clothing store on Chartres
street in this good city of ours (New Orleans).
He sold coats, vests and pantaloons for many
years, was nurtured and patronized by our citizens
and planters, amassed some thousands of dollars
sufficient for a small-minded trckster, retired and
located in New York, and now is put forward as
the Freesoil Black Republican candidate of the
villainous Seward party for Mayor of the great
financial and commercial metropolis of New York
The inquiry is made are there any more citizens in
New Orleans of this character, who intend to fill
their pockets and go North and follow George
Opdykc?
The talk is that the time has arrived for the res
