TALK ON CHANGE.

with every minute on Carondelet street. from Canal
up to Poylras, as well as on the lateral streets
each way. The reports of fever Of a malignant
type, otherwise called yellow fever, have been
telegraphed hence to expected corners and operat-
ors, which has caused many to stop at Mobile and
other places for few days. SO far as the talk
goes, there have actually been reported in the NOR
tuary returns for the past three weeks, II deaths
from yellow fever. This is nothing strange from
the promiscuorlsness and multitariousness OF our
population. We are sangunc that there has not
been season for forty years past but in which
have been cases of yellow fever. Ii any medical
authority can name season, VIC should like to
have the season designated Twenty-seyen cases
of fever are not nor would ten times twenty-scyen
be, any evidence of an unfavorable sanitary condi-
ton: therefore, it is absurd for parties to be send
ing dispatches to their friends or acquaintanccs not
to enter the city. There must be some extraordi-
nary revolutions or changes in nature and our eli
mate to warrant any supposition that sickness of
serious character is to be of an addenda to the
events of this season.
We laid before our readers in yesterdays issue
the intelligence, commercial and financial, brought
by the North Briton, arrived at Quebec from
Liverpool. Towards meridian yesterday it was
brlited about and talked of that there was some
political intelligence coming through of a threaten
ing character. but scanning closely the various
accounts there appears to be nothing threatening,
unless it can be construed that Mr.. Napoleon the
Third intends to invade England. In fact, all the
dispatches arc made up Of surnlises, and our read
crs can shake the entire batch up, then divide,
throw away one-half and believe just much as
they choose of the balance. As regards the vari-
Gus dispatches from Washington, the least said
about them the better. If crcdcnce is to be given
to the foreign political and social accounts, war
may be expected before sixty day bill of eN-
change will mature. Our talk is, do not place
much reliance on the dispatches via telegraph.
They are entirely too much on the Bull and Bear
order.
We find in an evening contemporary Fright hanl)
the following letter from Liverpool Of the 9th ult
Cotton continues to be greatly depressed, and
quotations are altogether nominal. We have never
known prices so irregular.
Now, il we in our talk published or emitted SO
strong a communication the above against our
great staple, we would then be talked of as the
greatest Bear that appears on Carondelet street.
1t will be perceived that the communication is
three days later subsequent to the Canada's adj
vices, which did not dcpress only the lowest
qualities of cotton.
The weather yesterday was favorable for bust
ness, and indications were at night of change
that is, of cold snap The recent rains have been
of great service particularly where the droutl
ruled supreme for twenty-five days. On the levee
there is vast amount of business and considerable
traffic going on from the upper limits of the Fourth
District to the limits of the Parish of St. Bernard
below, distance Of seven miles-shps discharg
ing and loading, steamboats, with their tremendous
loads arriving every two three hours, and de
parting every evening by half dozens But the
great crowds of passengers landing from every
upper country steamboat some of them pouring
ont as it were from four to six hundreds passeng
ers forms Of the great attractions of the mighty
levee of New Orleans Abiding to steamboats,
brings up some talk that the upper or Jefferson
Railroad line of boats running the lakes to Mo
bile has resumed the regular trips for the season
riweekly, adding to the requisite wants of the in
creasng trade between this city and Mobile. l
talked of some days since that this line Cor the
boats) had been forced off the lakes-out of the
| trade-bought or swallowed up by the rapacious
purse of the Mobile Mail Line Association. It was
further talked of that the Mobians opposed tc
an opposition line of passenger boats, from the fac
that the price of passage between New Orlean:
and Mobile would be reduced so low that large
share of the travel from the interior of Alabama
and Western Georgia would come to New Orleans
rather ignoring Mobile. If these views prevail We
do not perceive how this travel will be prevented
from coming to New Orleans when the line of rail
road is competed-the Mobile and Ohio Railroad
| traversng to connect with the Jackson Railroad.
| The mails via the Great Northern Railroad came
| through. The mail via Mobile came also. 1
is supposed the Africa's mails will be comm!
through by installments to-day, tomorrow and tn,
day after. 1t takes from one to three days for al
entire mail to get to our Post Office.
The steamer Europa of the sth from Liverpool
was fully due off Cape Race yesterday, and will b'
due tonight at Halifax or tomorrow at the farthest
