numerous; other streets were crowded besides rue
Carondelet and environs. Poydras, New Leyee
| and Tchoupitoulas streets were crowded with buy

the great levee and landings it also lively and
active. Strangers and visitors now in our city who
have never witnessed the great levce Of New Or
leans, with the seven miles front Of shipping,
steamboats, and latboats, will do well to visit it
during the fine weather twill speak and talk for
| itself.
The arrival Of the Europa at Halifax from Liver
pool, with dates to the lith inst, was announced
about noon yesterday. The commercial advices
! were regarded as favorable. The sales Of cotton
for the week ending the 10th instant, were $1,000
| bales, Of which spectators took 81, 900 bales.
| The most important talk yesterday on Carondelet
street was the advance in freights. The talk was
that Cd. had been refused for cotton to Liverpool
and ll-l6d. asked. OF course, this advance was
taken into consideration by operators IN the staple

families, made the passage to Europe IN hef last
summer. She Is represented to have been very
superior vessel with (at that time) able and com

| one Of the best provided and ably commanded
steamers afoat. This line has been very unfortu-
nate This IS the second steamer lost this season,
and the third since the Inauguration of this line, the
first having been iost IN the river s.. Lawrence
There is something singular in these losses posi-
