Decrease for the week. 85474
The movements in cotton for the past four days
have been of tolerahly active nature, brought
about by some defined estimates of the yield, and
the steady character Of the Liverpool market and
the continued encouraging accounts from Manches-
ter. The receipts up to this time, as compared
with last year, show falling off at all the ports Of
III, 900 bales. Assuming the receipts at this port
up to this evening to be 5105S0 bales and at Mo-
bile up to last evening 1870 bales, we have re-
ceived nearly one-fourth of the estimated yield of
1860. The receipts at Mobile for the week ending
yesterday were % 500 bales against 27,e23 bales
for the corresponding week last year. The Ala
bama rivers are reported as having risen four to
six feet, which will admit of large shipments to Mo-
bile. We have received only q few thousand bales
from Red and Ouachita rivers. There are very slim
prospects of rise in Rcd river. 1t will be late
before the receipts from Eastern Texas and North
west Louisiana attain any magnitude.
The intelligence from Europe is up to the 9th
ut., brought by the Cunard steamer Persia arrived
at New York, which was boarded off Speeulator's
Rock on Monday last. Her accounts came to hand
via telegraph on Tuesday, adding nothing of in
terest to previous accounts, which quoted Middling
Orleans cotton at 6sd. There must be an advance
of Id. u ib to cover the currency now ruling in
this market-114c, freight &, exchange 1863, and
we arrive in warehouse, Liverpool, at 7.64d.
We are without any mails from the North to-day
and it does not make much difference if the entire
mail service should be suspended. Private ex
presses would then deliver the correspondence of
the country regularly every day We shall come to
that after while.
The'ned steamer from Europe will probably be
the North American, due in the St. Lawrence river
on Monday. Her advees will be up to the lst in
stant. A Bremen steamer of the 2lst from South
ampton will also be due. She may not run in close
enough to Speeulator's Rock to admit of being
boarded. Much anxiety is felt regarding the re-
sponse to the frost accounts which will be due by
tbe above steamers

for the week. Since Tuesday last the sale trans-
actions have been enormous-over three millions
of dollars. The great decline brought ont buyers
that wouid otherwise have remained out of the
market and rates receded to lower figures for some
grades than have ruled for yerrs past. Time bills
on Northern cities have been generally discarded,
and buyers of cotton for Northern account or for
shipment North have been obliged to come right
down with their sight drafts and place themselves
in tundsat from 105ti to IL dis, while Sterling has
peen sold at all sorts of prices, from 1861 down to
l0agiO4{. To-day there was not go free offerings,
ana under steady demand at the banks the rates
OF 5eg2 dis. were well sustained though these en-
gagements early in the day at some Of the banks,
bnt they went up peg or two before the close Of
business, and the general rate over the counter
closed steady at dis. One party took $4,000 Of
sight off Of the street at y cent. dis. There Il
broad difference between bank checks and outside
sight drafts The sales Of sight here and there all
round to-day reached s250,O00, bank and all. The
rates closed in favor of sellers UNDER possibly the
importations of gold expected. Bat rates cannot
be expected to turn much to the advantage OF
sellers for some days to come. Sixty days sight
drafts are nominal, if 24935 dis. can be called
other than nominal, and those of the best sigma
lures without any demand. In Sterling there were
some few transactions, say bills lading, good sigma
tures at 105s@lo5a 400 bales and 600 bales, other
parcels at 1o5@lO5l, the extreme range in the mar
ket being 1o4a@lo5s. Clear bills from 1868 to LOG
@l064. In Francs several sales were made at 5279

being 5.35 D5 .26l, though some variations prevail
on outports, which rule from 537lt95.30.

There have been no movementsin real estate this
week. The glory of land speculators-the dealings
in lots under water and lots not under water-have
departed for the present. The new city railway to
The Metairie Ridge will open the way for a few in
vestments the coming year. There is no demand
for fashionable dwelling houses other than in the
way of renting for the season, or perhaps now and
then by the year. Landlords and proprietors, how
ever ask as much for the season as by the year.
From present appearances there will be more
houses and dwellings wanted for the year through
than usual as travelling next season will have
many obstacles to be overcome that will render it
necessary, perhaps coarenient, for many Of our
heretofore transient residents to remain the year
through.

The returns show an increase of specie, de-

croakers and alarmists expect to create panic,
they must go outside of New Orleans for it. The
Board of Currency has been making an examine

There is a patriotic minority in the
non-slavcholding States who are faith
fully upholding the rights of the South
and battling for the maintenance Of the
Constitution. The entire South makes
common cause with this minority, con
stituting a great national party, all stri-
wing to conquer and annihilate that sec
tionai party, whose success will mme-
diately leopard aud finally W the
Union. Thc triumph Of this great ma
tional organization will be the Begin
ming OF a return to that perfect u%nion,'
that general welfare and that edo
mcstic tranquility" which the Constitu-
ton OF the United States was intended
to promote and secure. Such a triumph
would greatly restore the old harmony
and awaken again the old sentiments
and it is the last hope Of those, who,
like myself, desire to see the Union per-

Address Of Lieut.. Gov. Hyams.

Gentlemen of the Senate In present.
ing to you my oath Of office as Lieuten
ant Governor Of the State of Louisiana,
| take this occasion to address you as
Presiding Officer OF your honorable
body.
la the language of that obligation il
is my hope, as it shall ever be my earn
est effort, faithfully and impartially to
perform all the duties incumbent on me
as such, according to the best of my
ability and understanding, agreeably to
the Constitution and laws Of the United
States and of this State"
In the discharge of this trust, | shall
endcavor neyer to lose sight of the prin-
ciplc that the rules which govern the
Senate have been established as well to
protect the minority from the arbitrary
or unjust exercise of power b3Ihe ma
jority, as to prevent surprise vi hasty
legislation.
cannot flattcr' myself that | can cs-
cape the commission OF errors, however
sincere my desire or earnest my cxcr-
ton to avoid them; this conviction I'M
pels me therefore at the Threshold of
my induction into office to bespcak your
c%onsiderate indulgence during my Off
official career.
Should it become my duty to decide
10y my casting vote questions purely of
o Legislative nature, | shall, ia its exer-
else be guided by the convictions of
my deliberate Judgment for the advance
ment Of the interests OF the State. But
should | be called upon to exercise that
right in matters involving the dignity,
the honor or sovereignty of the State
las well it may be in these times of de-
lection and treason, by q portion of the
people and States Of this Union to the
Constitution and laws of the United
States) | should feel myself recreant to
the trust reposed in me by the people of
Louisiana, did fail to uphold the sound
constitutional principles upon which the
National Democratic party of the United
States entered upon, and t~riumphantly
carried the last Presidential election
maintaining, as they do, the rights of
property Of the people of the South,
both in the States and Territories, i'll
violate from attack whether of Federal
or Territorial legislation. But | will not
permit my mind to dwell on the posi-
bility of being placed in such a posi-
ton, feeling the proud assurance, that
when the crisis calls for action by the
Legislature of Louisiana, you, Senators,
will be as united in the assertion of her
rights on the floor of the Senate, as you
will be valiant in their defense, if need
be, on the 1ield'of battle.
On that day, if come it must, (and no
SON of the South will lament its dire ne
cessity more than MYSELF every YES,
tige of party antagonism will have been
swept away, and the people of Louisi-
ana, united, will rush to her unfurled
banner, with you, Senators, in front, to
do battle for her honor, her institutions
and her sovereignty.
