TALK ON 'CHANGE.

1t was lively on the fllgs yesterday. Cotton was
taken freely, and exchange transactions were con-
summated, furnishing the sinews for carrying out
the movements in the staple. There was some
talk and inquiries regarding the impost act passed
by the Southern Congress in session at Mont
gomery. 1t is not altogether an act of inaugural.
ing free trade as it is termed, but sufficiently so to
admit OF the term. Grain, of all kinds, under the
act OF 1857, of the old Congress, was subject to a
duty OF ID get beef, pork, lard, bacon and but
ter to the same; cheese "a t3Gt lead Is i3ct fish
10 get, gunpowder 10 get, satpetre crude f32t
shot 10 yet. All the foregoing articles are to be
admitted free after the 4th Of March, together with
ether articles, mentioned in the act as furnished
us by Collector Hatch. We also append the con-
structon of Mr.. Hatch, and the course to be adopt.
ed after the 4th March, to which we call the atten-
ton OF our mercantile community.
The following act was passed at Montgomery on

March, are subject TO duty, aud all dutiabe goods
not purchased prior to the LIST of March arc, on
importation, subject to duty, even if imported
before the 4th of March; and it also follows that
all consignments of goods not enumerated in sec
ton are on importation before the 4th of March,
subject to duty.
The act is not sufficiently explicit. Many art-
cles omitted say hay, potatoes, bran and coal.
The article of coal is subject to duty of a pet.
under the old United States law. 1t follows that
coal from Pttsburg and mines on the Ohio river
will be subject to duty after the 4th proXimo 1t
is reasonable to suppose that full tariff OF rates
Of duty on all merchandise will be taken into con
sideraton before the Congress adjourns.
Under our financial head this morning will be
found the yearly return of the yield of cotton i'll
| Louisiana for three years past.
The arrival of The Jura, from Liverpool, with
dates to the 9Th inst, was announced about meri-
dian. Every item of intelligence from over the
Atlantic is seized on with avidity by most of the
! frequenters of the flags The sales of cotton in
Liverpool on the 4th were very light. Our market
is we'll sustained as reduced estimates Of the crop
are taken into consideration but large cargoes still
form one of the features of receipts, particularly
from Memphis. There is considerable Of an in
crease in receipts at Memphis over last year.
There was something said about ircights yester-
day, as being very firm at &c. for Liverpool. A
story is travelling the rounds Of the Northern Black
Republican papers regarding some of the ships
owned by members of that party. The ship VIM.
Singer is the subject of a good many paragraphs.
One in particular, in the Philadelphia North Amer
ican states that the ship arrived here in October,
and freight was refused her from hostility to some
of her owners; that she finally going to leave
in ballast (Which part is true) that by waiting till
January shippers were compelled to pay her ID.
to Liverpool
We have to correct this, by stating that the ship
VIM. Singer, after being refused cargo for months,
was finally, out of regard to one of her owners,
who is not of the obnoxious politics, taken mp
and loaded at 9-lGd. for Liverpool, and trouble
some work for the agents to get her off at that.
There is talk Of some other ships now in port,
owned by parties Of the same school of politics

The First Step to Ruin


s.Thero is no swerving from right line,
that may not lead eternity astray. "A
