TALK ON ,oHANGE.

Carondelet and Canal, were few and far between
On the grand banquets of Cana& few dozens of
the fair sex were observed. Rue Carondelet was
in great measure desolate. On two corners were
observed some pleasant and joyiailooking gentle
men, whose home Is on the mountain wave" but
more intent yesterday in obtaining an advance in
freights, as there appears to be in port only 40
ships against ~ same time last year. Freight for
Liverpool on cotton was quoted Is 32d, and some
agents holding for halfpenny against 4@1j-16d.
last year. Well, passing by the gentlemen who
were endeavoring to get an advance on freghts,
we went into the midst Of cottendom Some few,
but very few factors, had few samples hand
somely " brushed 4 up, looking almost as fine as
silk, on their tables But there were many tables,
however, in blank state given up to the dust for
the balance Of the season in fact, there were very
few members Of cottondom on the outside flags
yesterday. 1t was, therefore, all about dull day,
with the exception that there was good demand
for In fact, the way this product is purchas
ed and shipped every day, it might be supposed
there was great lack Of this necessary article Of
life. We, however, regret TO repeat the talk, that
the long spell Of dry weather is seriously affecting
the corn now growing Or attempting to grow under
the hot, burning sun, which We have experienced
for month past.
The supplies Of Western produce are on free
scale, and the accounts from the great West Of
decidedly favorable nature for large yields and as
in all probability the farmers of the West will want
the gold and silver from the South just as much al
the South may want its corn, pork and wheat; the
exchange from one to the other will be something
on a reciprocal course. The great Northwest WILL
however, have to submit to the contingencies Of
ed up by broken-down spectators, mushroom
bankers and cosmopolitan traders. If they-the
| farmers and traders Of Illinois, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa and Iowa-would send all their produce direct
| to New Orleans, or through that great port, St.
louis they would have the advantages Of the best
markets; and SO far as the merchants and traders
Of New Orleans possess influence, credit and solid
| ity they would receive the best of prices, with
payments down in hard money, and charges Of all
| kinds on lower scale than any other seaport in
| this confederacy.
Towards noon yesterday twas talked Of that one
Of the Canadian line Of steamers had arrived at
Quebec, with dates to the 30th ut. from Liverpool
! Cotton was dull. There were no quotations Of the
staple received but it is presumed 6s@6sd. the
current rates for Orleans Middlng. But we find in
the dispatches that polar whalebones quoted at
2ss. 4d.@2ss. Cd. There are no quotations for
| hoops or crinoline. The provision market closed
dull. The financial advices neither one thing
nor another. But polar whalebones, which possess
| no interest TO Orleans merchants whatever are
specially quoted The political news relates to
Italy. If these fighting folks in Italy, Naples and
Sardinia intend going in for fight il is hoped they
will 60 at it forthwith. and not be eternally and
forever talking about fighting and liberty.
In the meantime, the private dispatches from
| Liverpool are far from being as favorable as ex-
pected, but they chiefly apply to politics, as
| nected with finance and commerce. It is hoped If
those fellows u in Europe intend to go into gen
erai war, they will 20 at it forthwith before the
| autumn arrives.
| The drouth or dry weather still continues. But
we are not without hopes, as there was talk of q
very fine shower of the element, rain, Saturday
afternoon along the sea-eoast. 1t rained for over
over an hour from Biloxi to Pass Christian. AT
| Mississippi City there two showers. Theyap-
peared to extend some distance in the country.
We are receiving very alarming accounts of the
cane on the banks Of the Mississippi perhaps they
may not be termed alarming, hut the talk is, il a
passenger on one of the packets from Bayou Sara
| to New Orleans should remark that the fields and
| ground all the way down looked very, and we may
say remarkably dry, even from the deck of a
steamboat, that it will not be disputed or called
| into question. 5=5u#
As expected, the fine steamer Gpatzacoalcos
made the passage hence to New York inside of siS
days say days and IL hours, touching at Havana
She can be called the fastest ocean steamer at1oat
She will leave here again the I'd of July for New
York and Havana; SO say her owners
