TALK ON CHANGE.

It was rather quiet yesterday on rue Carondelet
and cnyrons. Several large operators were IN
clincd to await later adyccs from Europe, no"
fully due at New York by the City of Baltimore,
and at Portland by the North America, l3th ana
l4th instant OF course, the talk on crop estimates
continues. There is a hitch to be got over some
how or another, or very heavy losses will follow
the shipments for the last six weeks. The average
weekly deliveries Of all cotton for consumption
through Liverpool since the first OF the present
year N8GD are only 1000 bales per week against
So 900 bales for the same time last year, showing
decrease for this year Of 5000 bales per week.
The estimated real consumption of Great Britain
per week appears to be, of all kinds, 10000 bales
against 4G, 500 bales per week last year to the first
Of March so the Bulls and Bears rue Caronde-
let can figure away as well as we can. In the
meantime, there have been Inquiries of the quan-
tity of cotton supposed to be on sale at this time
in our market.

argument, said, as the law stands, anybody couid
60 to any territory with slave property on equal

the Republicans last session, in organizing the ter

The Gaming Storm.

The first shot fired by the Rebels will unite
the Northern States in the battle for the
Union, and arm two hundred thousand men
for the conflict The Border States will not
be called upon to take au active part, at least
by the Government, proper. Portions of our
men will volunteer, and go South, and fight
on the side of the Rebels. But the great
body of the people of the Border States will
stand by their Government.
When Mr.. Polk and his party brought on
the War with Mexico, though it was wicked
and uncalled for war, brought on for pur-
poses of plumber, and of strengthening the
Democratic party-the people fought the bat
ties, and then turned that party out of pow
err So we should all Go in this contest
stand by our Government, and pray for the
success of her arms, and when the conflict is
over, turn out the sectional party in power
and call men to rule over US who will restore
peace to the country. These are our SENT
ments, and they will be found to be the SEN
timents of the real people.
