TALK ON CHANGE.

1t was not active on Carondeet street yesterday
The first of November, in our community is de-
voted by large share of citizens, to other pur-
poses than mammon, pelf or trade. Though the
early part of yesterday presented no changes from
other week days, yet it manifest that the usual
veneration and feelings regarding the day were
paramount. And though there were several con.
gregatlons on the various corners, yet, the day
advanced, there were no nclinations observable
for active operations. Therefore, in many respects
the day was by many thousands of citizens regarded
as holy one, and as such was duly respected ::
which was confirmed by the thousands on thousands
of citizens who wended their way to the receptacles
of the departed The weather (barring the dust)
favorable for their demonstrations of affection
and remembrance for departed relatives connec-
tions and friends, which not forgotten even by
the devotecs of mammon and commerce, on the first
of November of each revolving year. For forty
years has been the privilege of the writer to wit
ness the solemn and afectonate ceremonies of this
day of holiness. Not only were the Catholic ceme-
teries universally decorated and attended, but the
Protestant cemeteries, particularly the Grod street,
were crowded through the day. For full Details
reference is made to our local column.
The weather moderated yesterday, but there was
not the least sign of rain. Cotton planters cannot
have any cause for complaint, more than what the
frost on the night of the 30th of October may have
occasioncd, and in more sections than one. The
talk is, that it might prove Of some advantage to
the lower bolls the stalks of cotton considering
that the upper bolls have already opened and
good share safely stored i'll the gin house.
Under our monetary head we publish commu-
ncation taken from the Manchester Guardian, re-
gardng the adulteration of cotton. It NAV be
taken in the light of defence of the sandy and
dusty cotton; but, somehow or another the writer
(Mr Tuly) is not sustained by events for it must
be known, and is known, that it is only within the
past two or three years that the many complaints
of adulteration have arsen The good and clean
cotton could have been % eliminated" by the pro-
cess which has been in for nearly two score
years. How can it be rcconcled or accounted for,
that with the very remarkable dry autumn or pick
ing season of 1858, there should have been so large
share of dusty and sandy cotton as now appears
in Liverpool, and the greater part from New Or
leans? We last year talked that many planters
regarded quantity more than quality.
We published in our last the proceedings of
meeting held in Manchester on this subject. 1t is
very strange that, with the many hundreds of com
plants, there has not been any direct evidence or
proof, where, by whom, what plantation, in what
gin house, some of this trash has been produced.
If spnners in Manchester WILL if possible, furnish
any gin or planters mark, whereby the name can
be dscerned or found Ineligible, and send the
bagging mark and all to the buyers here, in order
that the grower or ginners name could be ascer-
tanned, an immediate check would be placed on
the system of admxture or aduteraton. This can
be easily arrived at If by no other mode, egisa-
lative interference might be appealed to, by the
enactment of law compelling every planter to
have his name marked in full on one end of every
bale of cotton ginnel.
