FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER %, 1859.

IL tllere were not thirty steamboats, employed in
the towing and tugging trade. Vessels drawing Is
10 l84 and 10 feet pass the bar, and the channel
was never intended by nature for more than 16
feet The further talk was, that with the aid Of the
SIX new steamtugs there will be no difficulty in
getting vessels inward and outward, provided they
do not draw over 20 feet water. The further talk
was that if the channel at all times free for Is
to 70 feet draught, our etterprising friends down
East would build their vessels to carry aver
age 1000 bales Of our staple, drawing perhaps 20
to ~ feet In fact, there is ship (hc Ocean
Monarchy now at the leyee which will carry over
this quantity. The whole story, long and short is
just this vessels must not be built too large for
our trade, though it may figure up the highly re-
spectacle number of two millions of bales of cot
ton as branch. Therefore, the talk in the
Northern cities of great detention to shipments of
merchandise arises from the fact that in many in
stances the vessels engaged are too large The
further talk was that the new lines of steamtuge or
towboats will remedy much of the delay which has
heretofore obstructed the passes at the mouth of
the river. As competition is the life and soul of
trade, the talk was, that it is iminateria to the
shipping interest whether there are one hundred
tugs or boats employed i'll the great towing bust
ness between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico
1t IS, however, asserted that ultimately the Mexican
Gulf Railroad will be one of the great outlets to
tie gulf, and sooner Or later regular harbor at
Cat or Ship Island will be embraced in the port
and collection district of New Orleans.
The mails failed again yesterday, and our mer-
cantile community were deprived of their cores
pondence by the Europa up to the sth instant. We
may have part this evening, though the whole
mail will be due. The steamer Hungarian of the
Canadian line Of the 18th inst. will be the next
steamer due, say on the Both inst, though there
were three ether steamers to leave SOUTHAMPTON
on the same day.

TALK ON CHANGE.

Although the gatherings Carondeet street
yesterday were numerous and the talk varied
there were no large transactions talked Of when
left the flags. The Persia's advices, with those by
the Galway steamer Jason, two days later, were
freely commented on Ii was admitted that the
political intelligence, particularly the Italian qes
ton, presented features of an unfavorable nature.
9 The fast ones,' however, are sangune, as they
were last spring previous to the war between Ma
poteon and Francis Joseph that there is not the re-
motest prospect OF another war arising from the
complicated Italian question. Our own tall, is, not
to be too sanguine on this point. 1t cannot be
foretold what day or week may bring forth
The peace of Vilafranca took the world by sur
prise, and the world may again be taken by sur
prise in resort to between some of the great
powers of Europe Though there was no serious
talk yesterday on this point, yet it was manifest
that some Of the &c old foAes duly considered the
present position of Europe, regarding ii as frauglt
with trouble, which may or may not react on this
side of the Atlantic. However, the talk was, that
all the advices at hand were tclegraphc accounts,
which may have been manufactured for the noncc,
in fact, Bear and Bull episodes. Now what is
Bear or Bull episode? Can some of the well-n-
formed habitues Of the flags inform lis
There are observed the flags daily many re-
turning would-be Bulls Bears, just as the
of commerce dictates. We observe some first ap-
pearers, or perhaps to be more explicit, the first
appearance of several on our flags. We welcome
them, but suggest to them not to be discouraged at
their reception in our good city.
The further talk was, that by the Europa and
Persia large number of operators, woudbe
operators came over, and that they will appear
next week on change. 1t is hoped, however, they
will not come prepared to teach our good and wor-
thy triends-factors on rue Carondelet and en-
virons-the way of submission. If they do, they
may be egrcgousy disappointed.
There was some talk of the extent of the cotton
crop. The weather changed yesterday, and frost
was talked of freely. 1t was the received opinion
that cotton in the field cannot be seriously affected
from this time out to the end of the picking season
but by wet weather and storms of rain; that if
the dry and cool weather of yesterday should pre-
vail for twelve or fourteen days, crop of four
and quarter million of bales may be considered
as secured.
The further talk was of freights. The present
rate OF freights to Liverpool will pay should re-
turn cargo of salt-if nothing better offers-be oh
tanned, Shipowners will realize something more
than new dollar for an old one. Talking of ships
and freights brings up the great bar question. The
talk is, that the mouths of the Mississippi river
might be barred pgress and egress at many times,

NEW ORLEANS, OCT II, 1859.
lfeSSrs. Editors: Gentlemen-In your report of
Talk on Change" in yesterdays Crescent, you
refer to and publish letters in regard to false and
dirty packed cotton. No doubt instances have
been known Of parties descending to such means
to increase the weight of their cotton but in just
ice to the planters, must say the cases are iso-
lated. Were we to look at the true cause of the
cotton sent in that state it would be found to ema.
nate from the laudabe and consistent desire to
save, and make as available as possible all their
" storm y Or gathered cotton.' Not having the
means heretofore to cleanse their cotton before
ginning, they ave been forced to bale it as it was
full of sand, broken bos, and all other impurities
prefclning to take less price for it rather than
sustain total loss.
| The remedy is, think, in their own hands, and
If they do not avail themselves of it, they cannot
complain if objections are made to the cotton sent
in that state. refer to the patent Cotton Fan and

GES. L. j. WELLs.-We have just seen in the
Alexandria American the letter of General Wells,
says the Winnsboro Franhlin parisl) Sun, of the
2lst inst, accepting the nomination for the office
OF Governor of Louisiana, rendered him by the
Opposition party, and shall publish ii in our next
issue. 1t shows the man. He would have Dre
ferred that some one else was nominated mod
cstly distrusting his own Abilities but when the
position of chief leader of his party is urged upon
him, he manfully and with determined and un
daunted spirit, accepts it. He knew, no doubt.
that he was leading, as it were, a forlorn hope. but
as many others have done, he does it boldly, and
like them, he may do it successfully.
The Opposition may well be proud of their leader.
and should give him warm and hearty support,
He and his ticket will receive large majority in
the city, and with energetic action on the part of
all the elements of the Opposition in the country,
may achieve triumph scarcely dreamed of by the
most sanguine, and put an end to that horror to
them, the reign of Slidellism in the State.

PREMoStTIoNs REALIZED.-The Indianapolis Jour-
nal says that Mr.. James Wood, the engineer killed
a few days since on the Beltontaine railroad, had
for several weeks premonitions of his death, and
but few days since emptied his trunk of all its
letters and burned them, making remarks ut the
time, in rather playful manner, when interrogated
to his motive for destroying his correspondence,
that it was best to make that disposition of such
documents before he died. He faneied he saw
several times red light-the railroad signal OF
danger-near the spot where the catastrophe hap.
pened, but treated the matter as an illusion.

FURTHER BY THE PERSIA AND JASON.

NEW YORK, Oct 27.-The Persa's mails and the

THE GREAT EAsrERN.--Among the intelligence
by the Anglo Saxon we find the following particu-
lars of her recent trip from Portland to Holyhead
The Great Eastern left Portland at O'Clock, on
the afternoon of the sth and anchored at Holyhead
at 4 p. NJ on Monday, the 10th. The distance run
in the As hours is computed at something over $50
miles. The average speed for the whole trip was
a little over 13 knots but during greater part Of
the trip the engines were not running over half
speed. The paddles averaged 10 and the screw 3S
revolutions per minute, working at pressure Of
20 pounds of steam. The greatest speed attained
was lag knots, or nearly II miles per hour. This
was accomplished without special exertions by
the engines, but there was considerable canvas
spread The weather was squally, and at times
there was long heavy ground swell, causing, ac-
eording to some authorities, good deal of pitch
ing and rolling, while Others say that the motion ct
most perfect control; Il was reported that she
then proceed to Southampton. She is to have her
boilers thoroughly repaired, in q accordance M with
the requirements Of the Board of Trade. The COR
respondent of the London Times, who WAS on
board the Great Eastern in letter written before
the run to Holyhead, says that the ship will proba-
bly, lay up at Southampton during the winter.
