TALK ON CHANGE.

It must not be supposed, because the summer
sostice has come and gone or that dog days are at
hand, that there is no movement Or nothing going
on or that there is no talk Or interchange Of opn-
ions nor must the idea be entertained that there is
nothing worthy Of notice the street, otherwise on
change The general talk is there is just as much
business in the course Of contamination at this pre-
sent time as at any former period at this season Of
the year. To sustain this remark, it might be sup
posed that when one merchant or individual can sell
in one day about three thousand and four hundred
hogsheads of tobacco, that is, in the middle OF july
and obtain an advantage, it would be reasonably sap
posed that there was something more than smoke
perhaps little more than talk in an operation OF
over half of million of dollars We desire our good
friends on Caronelet street to understand that there
are other localities and other streets which must oc-
cunv share of our talk from time to time. -
We laid before our readers in yesterdays issue
brief dispatch of the intelligence brought by the
steamer Indian from Liverpool, which arrived in the
St. Lawrence river yesterday from Liverpool. On
scrutnizing the commercial adyices we find that the
sales of cotton for the three business days. say the
3D. 4th and 9Th Of July were $4,000 bales. It must
not be overlooked that they do not in Great Britain
keep the Fourth of July as holiday consequently,
we have three full days of business on which to COM
ent. As for the political advices and war reports,
which before the public, the talk is, that it will
not be safe to operate on them, either one way or
another that Isl Bulls and Bears may retire so rusti
eating recuperate as it were, for the fall movements
The political accountable war advices by the
lndian-are conflicting. From all accounts the talk
is that the Austrians are defeated beyond redemp-
ton. The feeling, the sympathes of our community
are generally averse to the Austrans nevertheless,
the talk is, that the Allies and the Nephew Of my
Uncle will prove too strong for Francis Joseph, and
unless Germany and Prussia come to his rescue Aus
tria must succumb The future of continental Europe
is involved in the greatest doubt. A
The further talk was that we might as well pass
over the European accounts to be received for the
next two months and prepare for the great business
which will follow the LIST September, 1859 Though
we shall not benefit greatly by Tehuantepec yet the
talk is, our community may reap some advantages II
the charter and privileges preserved intact On
this Tehuantepec affair there is good deal OF talk,
nd some folks talk as though the Southern Pacific
Railroad is sure to out right side up and prove
powerful competitor to Tehuantepec. The talk
was there was some favorable intelligence at hand
applying to the Southern Pacific road if SO, it will
be found in another column .e7
The mails continue to be received very regular at
our Post Office, and well they might, after the many
years attempt to introduce regularity in the mail ser
vice.
Later advices from Europe are fully due, that is,
the steamer City of Washington from Liverpool OF the
9Th and Cork or Queenstown Of the 18th, is fully due
The Africa from Liverpool will bring dates to the
9th The Europa is the steamer Of the 10th for Hall
fax and Boston, and the Persia is the steamer OF the
23d. This latter steamer never crossed the Atlantic
hither without bringing unfavorahle or bad accounts
Let us wait and see what she will bring this time
