TALK ON CHANGE.

The congregations and gatherings, which we
have noted for months past on rue Carondelet and
environs, are daily diminishing. We shall soon be
on the summer standard. The late foreign advices
have caused the present feeling. 1t is not very
comfortable to be receiving accounts of sales of
cotton at a great loss. Though many parties can
withstand few tens of thousands of dollars, yet
there are others who will be forced to the wall
There is an immensty of talk about bills being
noted, held over, protests for non-payment, this
that and the other, which would puzzle the most
astute and learned member of the bar legal to un-
ravel. The telegraph is wonderful invention
there is no doubt about that-it changes skies into
nnes and hundreds into thousands, with about the
same ease that we would eat radish.
There was some talk about cotton, but that, so
far as the receipts and extent of crop of 1859 and
1860 goes loses all interest the season advances
1t is pretty well ascertained that the maximum
estimates, say 4550000 to 100000 will be cover
ed By our marine list it will be observed that one
boat yesterday brought in 552 bales from the Qua
chita. This is toerable good cargo for the close
of the season moreover, the receipts in toto yes
terday count up 2027 bales. If they continne in
this way the figures of 900 bales for this port
proper will speedily be covered.
Under our financial head this morning will be
found particulars in regard to the great suits
now going on, particularly applying to the system
of advancing, the obtaining of bills of ladng and
so on. 1t is plainly brought to notice at once by
perusing the testimony in question: that very
loose and careless manner attends the cotton
trade that is the selling, the delivery, the ship
ping and the manner Of signing and obtaining bills
of lading. appears that instead of the shippers
of cotton going and obtaining the ships or dray re.
ceipts from the press, and sending the receipts,
with the bills of lading, to the captains for sigma.
ture, as in old fogy times the agent of the vessel
which takes the cotton obtains from the press the
receipts, and it is presumed retains them in office
until bills of lading are presented for signature
The agent of vessel in old times did not trouble
himself about keeping clerk running from one
press to another to collect dray receipts. How
ever, if shippers and those advancing on cotton,
submit to these innovatons-these new tangled
forms for conducting business-it is no business of
ours but in the present case according to the tes-
tmony, the advancers, the interyenors in the suit
would have had very little trouble in obtaining the
receipts, had they demanded them when they re-
ceived the invoice of the cotton. In the invoice it
appears the bills of ading were based without the
necessary accompaniments, the receipts or youch-
ers that the cotton had been delivered by the
press. On the Sd of April the witness states that
he was told at the agents office that the cotton
was all on board the ship, say 1883 bales. Then,

WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1860.

according to old fogyism, it was incumbent on the
shipper of the cotton, If he desired bills Of Iading
to have sent clerk to the press for the receipts,
and in all probability he would have obtained
them. But, no this loose mode Of saving little
trouble, and putting the express agents to the
trouble Of sending for the dray receipts in ques-
ton, appears to have been conceived one of those
hardships which modern and progressive enter
prise has interposed against old forms and modes
of conducting the vast trade of our city. The main
point turns on the receipts for the eighty three
bales Of cotton, which, somehow or another mys-
teriously disappeared, and which prevented the
shippers or intervenors from obtaining the bills of
lading, to which, after the many promises made by
the agents, they were entitled to- 1t appears that
on the 5th Of April the bills Of iading would have
been signed by the captain if the receipts for the
eighty three bales had been forthcoming that is,
bills Of lading for 1883 bales. The mysterious dis
appearance OF these receipts for the eighty three
bales Is not accounted for. One party asserts that
they were in his possession at such tine-Rhen,
if they had been in the right place, they would
have been with the other receipts at the agents.
Another party say that the receipts were not at
press but another party asserts according to the
tesuohy, tht ~ W as lnistdke, because lHe press
had had the receipts until within short time.
How is this testimony to be reconciled? In the
meantime, we will PROFOUND the question, "who
did actually obtain the receipts?n Of course, the
wise ones know very well where they brought up.
According to the evidence brought ont in these
trials it appears that it is the business of cotton
presses to protect the factors; whether at the
pense, disadvantage or discomfort of buyers and
shippers, the testimony is silent.
In other matters and things all went off quietly
yesterday. 1t is hardly necessary to aude to the
fact, that is that business is drawing to close for
the season, though there will be good show, per
haps something more, for some weeks longer. The
freight market is dull, and rates heavy at 5-l6@Gd.
Northern shipowners will save money by keeping
their vessels moored at home though if they can
| afford to carry cotton to Liverpool at 5-l6@ad.,
cotton planters, factors and buyers do not care.
The European mails by the Africa were received
in part last evening, that is, few letters came
letters is not consonant to the desires Of the age.
Who we should like to know, desires to be bother
ed with correspondence or commercial affairs after
Q or o'clock P. III. In fact, a few post prandial
enjoyments are more conducive and agreeable to
the health than to be talking of cotton, bills of ex
| change, freights, consignments, who broke and
what bills are coming back In fact confound the
afternoon mails they are more trouble than profit.
| When summer time does really come, we shall do
| as the banks intend to do-get through our talk
| one hour earlier. e...

FAREWELL BENEFIT OF Mas. JOHN WooD.-The
patrons of the Varieties must turn out and roll in
tonight, en- nasse, if they have any conscientious
remembrance of past delights, or present appre-
citation of the beautiful, the melodious, the funny,
the lively, and the generally bewitching and ex-
citing as Jointly welded together in the person of
Mrs. John Wood.
The present successful season at the Varieties
and we may say that the success, if not unprece-
dented, is without example in this city for many
long years. seeing that the theater triumphantly
rivalled, with its regular company alone, the
starry " gaaxies of all the other theaters-need-
ed but thing to gild gloriously the evening of
its season-and that was just one star, an evening
star, in fact Venus herself, the terrestrial or
theatrical name of which Or whom is Mrs. John
Wood, the above mentioned.
How well this lady has kept the theater crowded,
at season when people weary of theatricals,
and prefer staying at home, is well known
to the theatrical public. How completely her
charming viyacity her sweet singing, her eaptivat-
ing action in all characters, her perpetual glow Of
humor, and her keen yet refined rendition Of bur-
lesque, have subdued and taken by storm the Va
rieties audiences is another matter so well known
that we need not dwell upon it.
So, when we state that the lady takes her fare
well benefit tonight, we state it with feeling akin
to certainty that she will receive not only the COM
pliment she so richly deserves, but something
that will cause her hereafter to remember with
pride and pleasure her engagement at the Varie-
ties-not only benefit but triumph, an ovation.
The bill ITSELF even with Mrs. Woods name left
out, and any other lady's name put in would be
entitled to crowded house. But as the fair bene-
ficiary is to appear as Andy Blake, in the come
dietta of that name; as apollo, in the beautiful
tableaux from the Invisible Prince;h and as
Jenny Lind, in the charming musical petite-com-
edy of that name aided throughout by the strength
of the company, and dances by the Gale sisters, it
is obvious that no greater human attraction could
possibly be offered, and that twill be necessary for
all who intend going to secure their seats early.
Remember also, that this is the last week of the
season, and last appearance but two of Mrs.
Wood.

DISCOVERY OF THE TusK OF MAsToDoN.-The
aborers engaged in excavating the Ruflner lot, on
the north side of Third street, between Plum and
Elm streets, yesterday discovered tusk, or what
is thought to be the tusk of mastodon, Of such
immense size as to render it valuable geological
specimen. It was found about twenty feet below
the surface, embedded in gravel bank, the large
end protruding upward. 1t measured about 81
feet in length, and 20 inches in circumference. I'm
fortunately, about 15 inches of the smaller end
was broken off and carried away by persons anx-
ous to possess some portions of this natural Curl
osity. Mr.. Ahern, who fell heir to the treasure,
fearing that the whole would be borne off, sent the
tusk to his house, but those having it in charge
were careless, and broke it into pieces
The outside or shell of the tusk is hard as en-
amel, while the inside is of the consistency of
chalk and as white. On exposure to the air this
will become hard. No other remains of an animal
have yet been found.-[Cinennati Gazette.

A Knowing Doa.-A shepherd once, to prove
the quickness Of his dog, which was lying before
the fire in the house, said in sentence concerning
something else, Pm thinking sir, the COW is in
the potatoes" Though he purposely laid no stress
tone Of voice, the dog who appeared to be asleep,
Immediately jumped up, scrambled up to the turf
roof Of the house, from which he could see the
potatoe field He then, not seeing the COW there,
ran and looked into the barn where she was and
finding that all was right, came back to the house.
After a short time the shepherd said The same
words again, and the dog repeated his lookout
but on the false alarm being third time given, the
dog got up, and wagging his tail, looked his mas
ter in the face with so comical expression Of in
terrogaton, that he could not help laughing aloud
at him. With slight grewl, he laid himself down
in his warm corner with an offended ar, as II de-
termined not to be made fool OF again.
