TALK ON CHANGE.
The weather Was decidedly spring-like yesterday,
and the shady side Of the streets monopolized
by pedestrians There was falling of In the ar.
rivals yesterday, both from and from the interior
The distractions at the Southwest Pass still prevent
the egress and ingress OF the largest class vessels.
Most Of them which were detained were taken to
Pass a'Loutre and went to sea- For the present this
is supposed to be the main channel. The talk Is,
that the $1,000 to be disbursed, will prove only
partial benefit, and by the time the contractors get
to work most all the heavy draught vessels will have
taken their departure. The talk is the same condi
ton of affairs will next year. Congress will
meet in December, and an appropriation for next
years operations, or to keep the channel open an
not be realized till late in the session. The talk s
the sooner the Mexican Calf Railroad is purchased,
reorganized basis, and extended to the har-
Dor at the Nine Mile Bayou, the better. Then our
Eastern friends can build their vessels to carry 5000
or 1000 bales Of cotton. The ship Ocean Monarch,
which cleared on the l4th OF February for Liverpool
with 1869 bales cotton was at Pass aLoutre the day
before yesterday. There is not much encouragement
for the OF this ship to send her here again
She could have been loaded in Cat Island or Ship
Island Harbor and in Liverpool long before this, and
saved large sum Of money. We notice the arrival
of ship two days since, which arrived off the bar
on the Sth of February from New York. The ship
Felicia has also been detained for long time 1t is
not only the detention, but reghts at the time Of
rival off the bar ruled from 7-l6@l5-32d. now they
rule from almost nothing to 5-l6d. We not aware
that 1t is of much use to talk but will say, the
same distractions will occur next season, provided
the $7l 600 is expended this spring. We shall have
some further talk on this subject.
There was something going forward in cotton yes
terday, and there was some talk of our table OF
figures aud estimates. Mddling cotton will undoubt
edly go to shilling per lb, as venerable citizen
said in 1851 but this time it will only be York shil-
lng-l2ac. As we remarked some days ago, some
of the Bears shedding their hair, and many are
in chrysalis state Factors sanguine of closing
the season in blaze Of splendor and profit to their
patrons and we in the belief that they do not
hold on too long, say till hear from Liverpool Of
the heavy receipts. The most important position the
Liverpool market can be placed in and the most cri
tical time will be during the next month (May) and
early in June. In fact, it is question Of the most
vital importance, and may be regarded in high de
gree of anxiety, particularly to shippers The Bull
factors will have all their stock off their hands, and
the English Bulls will have the Liverpool market to
themselves, under the following attitude of figures

through seven hundred factors and agents.
The mail via the Jackson Railroad came throug
H. yesterday, bringing dates from New York to the st
inst. The mail via Mobile failed--cause unknown
unless it is the great popularity of the Southern rou

H. New York in six days.
The Europa will be due in New York tomorrow
perhaps she may arrive to-day with the weeks date

Il. MANAGER DEBAR IN ST. LouIs.-The st. Lou
Democrat of the 9th has the following announc
ment of the opening of the st. Louis theater
h. and some words of suggestion and advice to Il
manager which sound amazingly like what the Ne
:, Orleans press has many time and oft had occasit
to say to him, as to his management of the " S
Charles theater in this city, The closing sentence
don't let it be thought that you are lavish dow
H. South and niggardly up here'-s at once amusil
and instructive, for informs of these parts tn
we have all been at fault in accusing the port
IN. manager of being lavish up North aud niggard
d0,cn here.'
"Mr. DeBar is announced to open the st. Louis
lay Aonday night, with Mrs Matilda Heron Stoepel, al
as his full stock company Unless his stock has sor
H. new faces and fresh talent, we shall feel very mu
inclined to express our dislike in strong TERMS \
nu. DeBar has always depended very greatly upon
Mr. stars trusting little or nothing to the kind OF 81
It port which he has provided for them, until
- patrons here have become entirely sick and disgust
with the same old faces and the same middling d
play of talent Our people expect something new
Mr.. DeBar, and we hope they may not be disf
pointed. In making changes of any kind, let h
not forget that his theater is in very dirty conditt
Sweep and scrub it out. Rub up also the old scene
and furbish up the old swords muskets, helmets, t
ware and the o her meta,ic properties of tue hou
Il Don't let it be thought that you are lavish do
South, and niggardly up here"
