TALK ON CHANGE.

The glory Of Carondeet street and environs APP
pears to have departed for the season. How can
it be otherwise, with only thirtyfve thousand bales
ofcotton on sale, aud not sufficient money to buy
even that small quantity, with no desire to invest
in bonds, stocks or real estate? The freight mar
ket Is ruling at almost fabulous prices in foreign
vessels There was some talk that cotton shipped
on board American vessels, and the vessels would
be exempted from capture under the provisions of
the law granting letters Of marqne and reprisals.
II is manifest that there are not thousand bales
of cotton now in course of shipment for Black Re-
publican or Northern account. But woe to vessels
and cargoes Of merchandise bound to Northern
ports from Cuba and other West India Islands,
also, the Aspinwall steamers
There was considerable talk among the cores
pondents Of those New York houses which have
been SO free in their money to aid in subjugating
the South. twas almost incredible that parties in
New York, having branches and connections in the
South should be giving their hundreds ane thou
sands Of dollars in aid of the crusade against us
hut 80 II IL. We have the names of hundred firms
and Individuals in New York coming within the
charge. There have been some refnsals on the
part q some houses connected with the South.
We shall attend to them hereafter, with feelings of
pleasure and joy.
AZ the sugar depot business has been very dull
during the week. The gtmlet rangers have gone
into summer quarters, Withdrawing from business
at the hour Of noon. With the very light stocks of
sugar and moasses, the grand levee, from Canal
street to ST Peter street. presents very dull and
spirtIess aspect.
Advices from Pass a-l'0utre are hopeful for the
speedy rempyalof the hull of the Ironsides, which
blocksun the channel. All the large vessels out
ward bound would have proceeded to sea during
the present high tides but for this wreck. This
iEensidea IS more powerful than all Of Lincoln,
Seward 4 Co.'s navy.
The further tllk was, that New York is in perfect
panic condition, They are frightened out Of their
wits, and most Of the large merchants are being
frightened ont Of their money for war purposes.

4 M1rn.MANNEREp MAN.

Lord Byron described one of his characters by
saying he was as mild hammered man as ever
cut throat. Not that man, but that other man
one Mr.. Spinola, y State Senator in New York
possesses a mildness Of manner even more san
culinary. Here is what Senator Spinola said, the
other day, in a public speech to the New York
Volunteers, as reported in the Tribune
Jefferson Davis has assured the traitors that he
"iutends to respect and give protection 10 the
property of the Secessionists, both North ana
South" Humane pirate! Magnanimous murderer !:
The patriots of '76 contscated the property OF
the Cowboys of the Revolution; and here let me
assure the Northern soldier that every, dollar OF
property belonging to the traitors shall be con
iscated for your benefit All those fine, Smooth
plantations, of which you have heard so much
shall be yours after you have conquered me
traitors and driven them from the soil! AGAIN,
let me tell you that unless the Plug Ugiies ana
Blood Tubs Of Baltimore are subdued by the
authorities of that city, and the great Leading
avenue to the National Capital is kept open, Balti-
more will have nothing left to prove where that
city stood except the granite column erected to
commemorate the memory of Washington and if
the North is forced to this policy, then all the
wealth of Baltimore shall belong to the volunteers
the bullion in the banks shall be yours, as well as
everything else that is valuable in that city,
And permit me here to say that the volunteer
from the State of New York who shall bring home
with him from this war the scalp of Jefferson
Davis shall receive an annuity of 900 so long as he
lives pledge this in the name Of the Empire State
think you will agree with me that this scalp vii
be worth fighting for.
