MRS. BoycE's BENEFIT.-We believe that there are
none of the habtues of the Varieties who do not re.
eognize the claim upon their favor and liberality
which the industry and ability of Mrs Charles Boyce
has asserted throughout the season. As the leading
lady of the company she has been constantly cast to
responsible roles, and the business of the establish.
ment has profted by the uniform good taste and
cheerful effort which has characterized her yari GUS
presentations. In most characters she has been highly
successful, and agreeable in all. The bill Of
fered is worthy the event, comprising the elegant
comic drama in two acts, for the first time in N ew
Orleans, entitled Flying Colors or Crossing the
Frontier" Morton's standard comedy, "a Roland for
an Oliver" and the jolly farce known to the irth
loving as Betsy Baker," The interstices of this
programme will be occupied by terpsichorean FILL
ingin by the gracefully artistic danseuse attachment
of the company The friends of the beneficiary and
those who would see the whole strength OF the Yare
ties company in array, should pack the house to.

TALK ON CHANGE.

The early part Of yesterday was occupied by those
connected with the foreign trade in the perusa Of the
correspondence received by the Arabia's mails from
Liverpool up to the 9th inst. After this was com
pleted, there was considerable talk about war, and
the general opinion prevailed that the large prepara-
Lions would bring it on ere many weeks pass. We
concluded, as our mind was made up regarding it, to
walk through Poydras, Tchoupitouas, New Levee
streets and localities, and see what the talk was Of
hour pork and other products FOR it must not be sup
posed that king cotton monopoIizes all the talk. The
King cannot get along without bacon pork -four and
corn They talk well on those streets-that is, the
Western merchants and traders have done great
business, and it is gratifying that we can talk of the
good credit and standing of this great branch of the
mighty trade of our city. The foreign advices re-.
garding bfeadstnfs and provisions generally indicate
very little demand and low prices so that there were
during the week ending the 9th inst. shipment Of
wheat and Hour from Liverpool to the United States
and Canada, as well as the return of some American
wneat. line talk is, that the citizens OF the United
States, instead Of going gold hunting and wild goose
hunting to Pixies Peak had best turn their attention
to raising wheat and corn. 1t will be far more pro
ductve than wasting their time and health in search.
ing for gold mines. Coal mines are even far more
productive than gold.
The arrivals Of steamers from the West continue
free, and the stocks of Western produce are well
maintained and will be ample to supply the trade of
the adjacent States There was not much talk about
crevasses yesterday on the street, though fears are
still entertained of danger. With good weather the
levees will hold where they are daily watched. The
most important break alluded to yesterday was the
Plantation Fazende, on the right bank, at the old
English Turn, II miles below the city. This will in
all probability be checked, if not already done so,
with war and water for subjects, the talk can be ex-
tended to an unlimited extent, but as we have no
space for further talk will add the following let.

From the Pacific City Herald Extra July 2
From the Gold Mines.

Capt. l.. Nockolls reached home yester.
day. (July 81 lie left the mines on tho
25th ult. Consequently. he made the trip
in about thirteen days. and brings the Ia.
test news yet received from the mines.
In regard to the Gold Mines, Capt. y.
lost no opportunity of obtaining all the
reliable information possible. His e1ten.
sive acquaintance with the pioneer goII
seekers and his frequent intercourse with
them. gave him unusual facilities for &C.
quiring correct information. Being en-
tirely disinterested, we feel satisfied hi,
Statments' are nearer the truth than auy
thing yet published.
lie says it was estimated that 5000
persons were at the mines. OF this num-
Der, not more than ONE IN every FIVE Huy.
DRIED was making good wages. The ma
jority were not paying expenses. The
number who are making extraordinary
wages is limited to a very few. lie does
not think the entire amount Of gold taken
ont this season. thus far, exceeds twenty
thousand dollars.
Between Cache la Poudre and the cross
ing of the South Platte. he passed about
700 teams returning home. Most Of ths
persons accompanying these trains bad
visited the mountain diggingS. bat faIlsl
to meet with sufficient encouragement to
induce them to remain.
The statement of Horace Greeley and
others was undoubtedly made in all can
dor and honesty, but was greatly ex'g'
gerated, in consequence Of imPOsltiOns
practiced upon these gentlemen BY inter
eSted parties. He thinks, in very few
instances, $3.50 to $500 have been taken
out of certain claims in day; but these
instances are exceedingly rare.
His advice to all who contemplate emf
grating to the mines, is to wait further de-
velopments. Next spring will DO time
enough to start, if the news should con,
tinue favorable. Those who go now Will
in all probability have q cause to regret u
The soldiers at Fort Kearney have all

Il ANOTHER MgRDEB on TIE Bio Blue
It appears that If = murder is not COM
mitted on the Big Blue. at least once a
week, times become dull. Another cold
blooded affair took place about eight
miles above MarysvilIe. on Tuesday alter
noon of last week. There had been a
difficulty. for some time past between
one Thompson. and young man named
Sanford, the latter Of whom was an en-
gineer in steam mill On the day nam
ed, Thompson rode up to the mill on a
mule, armed with rifle, and dismounting,
deliberately shot Sanford through the
head. " lille the latter was in the act o.
putting wood in the furnace. The muir

but at last accounts. had not been appre
hended. He was traced as far as Pado'
mia, when his track was lost.
By the way, it seems little singular
that the track of villains is always lost a
that place. This is the second instance
of the kind during the present month. L
must be sort of jumping-off place fOI
them. Is it not probable, as has frequently
been intimated. that some person or or
ganization in that vicinity makes regu
lar business of secreting scoundrels an
stolen property, aad keeping genera
rendezvous for outlaws from every quar-
ter? We do not think that a thorough
and energetic investigation would do any
! harm.

g REruRSIse MISERs.-The st. Mary, on
her last down trip, had on board about a
hundred returning miners. mostly direct
from the famous Gregory diggings. One
old gentleman, with whom we conversed,
says that, SO far from taking out hundreds
of dollars per day, he is confident no per-
son had taken out as high as fifty dollars
per day. He said he was at the mines,
and heard Horace Greeley make his
speech 10 the miners. He also said that
Horace had been hunibugged as badly as
any Of the rest. The interested ones heard
