TALK ON CHANGE.

The gatherings yesterday, the operations and the
talk on Carondelet street and envrons were on the
intinitesimal order. The came out rather too
powerful after 10 O'Clock for corner resorts and
though there were small transactions talked Of
general desire prevailed to await the arrival of the
America, or the steamer Of the 2lst ult from Liver
pool, which will be due at Halifax to-day. AT an
early hour dispatch was received, announcing the
destruction of the steamer City Of Block bound here.
This boat was intended for ferryboat, and was con-
founded with the additional towhoat of the new line
now expected. The boat, in fact, was destroyed by
fire at Norfolk.
The further talk was of the daily receipts of West.
ern products. Steamboats, continue to arrive daily
with full loads. Tobacco is coming in very freely
and is about the only staple article that keeps up
respectable vitality. Flour, pork and gran are held
at too high figures to command respect. There would
be buyers OF cotton at reduction in price, The very
favorable accounts from the cotton-growing section
parts OF it, are talked of. The receipts at all
the ports are approximating 5000 900 bales and in
all probability will reach those figures by the sth of
the present month The receipts at all the ports up
to last evening 1851 1928 bales The receipts at
Charleston and Savannah up to the 25th and 26h
inst. were Dol GIG bales. The receipts at Apaachi
COLA st. Marks and Newport, are ISL ,9OG. The re-
cepts at the Texas ports lGO $50. There is very
little more to in from the borders of the Misss
sippi river. There are supposed to be few thousand
bales (but very few, we imagineJ in Atala Choctaw
and two other counties in North Mississippi. There
is some detained in upper Red river, which may not
get to market this season. unless rise takes place in
the waters of Red river There are some DIRECTIONS
to be added to the quantity received which will in
all probability increase the total receipts 900 bales.
These bales with the reserve which we alluded to last
week. will all be fully detailed in due season. The
feeling towards the staple continues strong and ex-
change based on it is freely negotiated.
We learned some days since that General Wright,
Of New York, embarked on board the Persia for
Liverpool We also observe that the Persia carried
out forty.sx residents of New Orleans, embracing
cotton factors exchange dealers, cotton buyers bulls
and BEARS dealers in paper, stocks, cotton planters
and sugar growers, medical gentlemen ard other pro-
fessional gentlemen-in fact Louisiana was well re-
presented; but we are losing sight of General Wright,
who says in his circular taken out by the Persia,
" the weekly receipts Of cotton are becoming very
small, and will go on diminishing till the end of the
season.. Now, this is astounding information for the
Generals friends. We never heard that there would
be anything else " but weekly decrease for the
balance of the season but the General is forced to
37t3,000 bales. Now, we ourselves do not positively
assert about $1,000 bales more, but we believe in
them, and we havelgot the great generalissmo, the
great mentor of the NewYork Bulls and Bears within
seven thousand bales of the Bull ring G., ,75O ,OO0)
The weather continues rather dryish in this lati.
tude, and sections of the country require little
rain the upands being rather too high to be irrigat-
ed by the Mississippi.
A Mobile paper, of the 2Gth Of May, says, there
were 100 deaths in New Orleans last week, and says
it has been rumored for the past two weeks that the
yellow fever has made its appearance. Made its ap
pearance. Where, neighbor? In Mobile or New Or
leans, Havana, Vera Cruz, or Rio de Janerio? We
have to go away from home sometimes to learn news.
The mails came through yesterday by both routes
with full dates. The Asia's mails will be due this
morning. 1t will be observed that all freight intend.
ed to go by the Jackson Railroad must be sent to the
warehouse at the New Basin, Upper Canal, from
whence it will go regularly. 1t will be may weeks be-
fore the water will decline and leave the road.
