TALK ON CHANGE.

TALK ON CHANGE.
The flags were well thronged yesterday, and the
crisis now in course of progress was duly com
mented on and talked of. There was not the least
indication of alarm or anxiety observable. There
were numerous buyers, or would-be buyers of the
great staple at good prices but some of the fresh
arrivals (fedglings from Lancashire1 are not suf-
ficienty armed, not encased in coats of mail as to
command the confidence of many of the factors,
that is, the old fogy factors Itmust be taken into
consideration that there is remnant of the old
school merchants still remaining and in business
The talk is, that it may prove to be source ofre
gret that there was not more regard paid to old
fogyism last year and the year previous. Nais,
n'tnlp0ffe, if we cannot do as we want to do, we
must do the best we can, which was illustrated
yesterday in cottondom by the sales Of l2,Oo0 bales
of cotton or more. It was inferred from the ap-
parent activity in the cotton market that the ad-
vices received by the Arago from Havre up to the
18th inst, published in our issue yesterday, were
decidedly favorable. There may be some discre-
pancy between the public and private accounts.
The most important intelligence at hand is of the
advance in the rates Of interest by the Bank of
England to Tlct.
Going from the flags Of rue Carondelet to Poy-
dras, Tehoupitoulas and the grand evee, we found
1t quite brisk and very lively Our marine register
tells of the many arrivals Of steamers with full car
goes, consisting Of cotton, sugar, molasses, corn
-four, bacon, pork, lard, hay oats, butter, candles
brooms, paper, beef, eggs, whisky, glassware,
feathers, starch potatoes, and many other articles
entirely too numerous to talk about. In addition
to the thirty steam argoses reported the past two
days, the Texas packets have arrived, which, in
eludug the Rio Graude packet, bring cattle, bul-
lion, hides lead and fair lot Of eagle dollars The
talk is, that we commence the week with very
strong basis for general operations in fact we
have all the elements of great and mighty trade,
and if we had direct communication with Europe
at this moment, we should have been receiving
gold in return for exchange drawn and cotton
transactions in general, which have taken place
since the lst of October last
We have an interesting talk about steam CON-
muncation with Europe, which will appear to.
morrow.
The old friends and acquantances of Capt Will
son, Of the brig Minna Schiller, among whom we
feel proud to enumerate ourselves, had the plea.
sure of taking the gallant Captain by the hand
yesterday. Although he and his little brig has not
received much personal notice heretofore on the
flags, or among the big ships, nor been the theme
of much talk or general attraction on the flags of
cottondom, yet we think the Captain would re.
ceive hearty welcome on Carondelet street, with
a good many sincere congratulations. 1t is diff
cult to arrive at any satisfactory value or estma-
ton Of the services rendered by Capt. Wilson and
his in the Gaze ef the rescuing and saving the
six hundred passengers, with the crew, from the
steamer Connaught, which was destroyed by fire

occurrence it is presumed, is fresh in the memory
Of the public.
It is suggested that some testimonial Of regard,
some appreciation Of the heroic conduct of Capt
Wilson, would be proper on the part of our under
writers and citizens at large. 1t is only few days
since that our Board of Underwriters presented to
the captain and crew of a ship $24Oo for protect.
ing and saving ship and cargo from the pirates
and wreckers of New Providence. OF course,
there is not much analogy in the two cases. but
sufficient to talk about. The merchants and un-
derwriters of New York have subscribed $7l6O to
be appropriated towards tribute of feeling and
respect for the great and humane deed performed
by Capt. Wilson. But mark the contrast between
the conduct of the so-called merchants of Boston.
Il has been mean and contemplate. They have not
subscribed even the pitful sum of $500. We expect
the praiseworthy and gallant conduct of Captain
Wilson in a manner worthy of its great fame,
character and liberality The Minna Schiller arrived
in Mobile from Boston last week. Capt. Wilson is
permanent resident and citizen of New Orleans,
and we feel pleased in recognizing him as such,
and trust that his voyage through life may be at
tended with prosperous winds and happy returns.
The telegraph brings as usual, reports without
number of every grade and hue. They create
great many remarks on the flags. There is some
talk that the so-called expansion on the part of
the banks in Eew York will be of only brief
benefit. The Boston banks intend also to expand !;
that s get in debt themselves to help their debtors
pay them. 1t would be supposed that the simple
mode ef discounting daily to the amount of the in
come would be sufficient. But it appears not
The communities of Boston and New York are
over head and ears involved, and expansion is the
order of the day, is be followed by general sus-
pension OF all the Nerthern banks before the crisis
is over.
