impossible to discover any ground which to base
hope that success will crown the movement they
have so manfully inaugurated.
TALK ON CHANGE.
Another favorable day was Saturday for general
business. Our streets were thronged. 1t active
on the levee. 1t brisk in and about the banks
and Carondeet street was particularly lively in the
way of talk, without any large negotiations being
made. The early part Of the day was devoted, by
those connected with the foreign trade to perusing
the correspondence Of the Arabas mails. The private
advces give very faint hopes of peace being pre-.
served Then in other circles, the talk was of the
additional unfavorable advices from the Southwest
Pass. The accounts received on Saturday morning
state that the highest water there gave only l3 to
13a feet on the bar. The following ships worked
over and went to sea during the last high water
Bannockburn, Manchester, and Lady Sale for Liver
pool Lochnvar for Antwerp, Charles Davenport for
Naples, Mary for Havre, and Troy for Boston. Out
word bound vessels are daily accumuating. There
were fortyour ships at the Southwest Pass, and six
in Pass TOutre, outward bound, and from twenty
to twenty-five bound in. The cotton now detained
at the mouth Of the river amounts to one hundred
and thirty thousand bales. There are in port seventy
vessels loading for Liverpool and other European
ports, many OF which are prepared, or can be pre-
pared in short time, for sea some have filled up and
ready to clear Others waiting the removal of the bar
distractions. Two hundred and fifty thousand bales
of cotton including the quantity at the bar, are de-
tanned from market, and from appearances it may,
with other produce, be detained till June or July.
The further talk was, the subscriptions solicited
| would not be realized
After one o'clock on Saturday the details Of the
weeks operations up to the 5th inst were received
by the Asia The commercial adyices were favora-
BILE, Middlng Orleans cotton closing steadily at
3-l6d., weeks sales amounting to $4,000 bales.
Havre market also favorable. The financial accounts
continue as attering could be expected under the
war feeling. The political intelligence does not in d-
cate that will be frustrated. As usual many of
the dispatches appear to be made up of reports sur
misses and conjectures. We recommend all to wait
the regular mails, which will be due about Saturday
next.
The ship Bamberg, which had been lying at the
Balize outward bound for Havre since the 10th o
February, and the schooner N. Reinhart, for Phila
delpha have returned for repairs. Should they both
have to discharge the average and detention will cos
about as much as it would have taken to cleared thu
channel. Should fire break out among the feet
with the wind blowing direct towards the bar an,
no tugs at hand underwriters would hear of sights
though, we suppose, our "Bolrd' would not be
largely complicated. We don't think it is of mucl
use to talk any more. Suppose we wait till July
when the long days are on hand!
