the flags. Trne; on the grand boulevard, Canals
there was the usual grand display Of crinolne and
the stores were tolerably well patronized. Talk
ing Of crinoline reminds us that many Of the lords
of creation would BE- thankful if the gentle sex, 50
called would make It convenient to complete their
shopping excursions before 3,o'eloek, so as not to
crowd the cars, as they frequently do From to
clock the cars ought to be allowed for the use
tof merchants and others who close the business of
the. day at that hour. The old fogies do not like
the Inconvenience arising from crowded hoops and
erinohne when they retire for the day therefore,
ladies, please take into consideration our talk, !,
and manage to get through your shopping and
talking before 3 d clock, ..'. s.S $7's+'7
gss The talk and comments on the blockade, the
permission to allow vessels in ballast to come to
our levee and load with cotton, still continues
The question of recognition by European powers
may hesconsidered as a secondary consideration
Recognition does not break the bloekades If Great
Britain OF France recognizes the Southern Com
federaey, then. of course, It must be as an in
dependent nation. If cur ports are bloekaded SO
as to prevent egress and ingress, sucll blockade
must also be recognized, What censtitates or
whatis tebe considered an etfeetual blockade, ap
pears not to- beTunderstood. That the mouths of
the Mississippi, the port of New Orleans, is effec
,tually bloekaded, and has been since the 25th of
Maylast, there is nota doubt. True "a man OF. war
steamer did finesse and get to sea, but has there
been an arrival from any port III the world at our
landing since the first of June last? We reckon
not. We'do not, however, consider the entrance Of
some half dozen small vessels here and there as
breaking the blockade. We are really getting
tired Of all the talk about forcing the blockade
Some half dozen vessels have been successful in
arriving at some of the Southern Atlantic ports,
and that isr about all The steamer bermuda
passed into Savannah with a valuable cargo, but
the cargo was all paid for in England before she
left The money was remftted from this Side in
June last. The Long, and short of this breaking
business Isl that England and France are not to be
depended on, Cotton is considered as king, but
kings are some times ethroned. But that is neither
herasnor there! The simple questions, q who VIII
and how is the Blockade Of ourport to be raised ~

That thare has beenanuch irregular trade carried
on from Southern, ports, there is not doubt For
instance, several articles Of pitch, turpentine and
other articles haveibeen shipped at various South.
ern ports, and cleared for West India ports. On
arriving at these; ports, their cargoes have been
transhipped on Yaasee vessels for Northern ports.
The non.exportationsts and the embargoists on our
flags say that cotton shipped for Europe might be
landed il Boston. The character OF. the shippers,
their general bias and expressions, must be con
sdered in transactions of this character during the
crisis. ~. sa.,t E5,S5, 90, b,

This looks'very much like a Texas cargo, and no

has played his cards well to get his cargo to good
market We do not find any record of clearance
from This port of avessel named johnson.
The latest adyioes from Liverpool are up to the
9th inst. Middling Orleans cetton was quoted at
iog, and stiff Some shippers who held on will be
using coaches and four, while others will be on
their stills. They win not care about visiting our
aags this season. We have now to record the
largest sales in liverpool Of cotton for one week
On record, They reached the great figures of
900 bales for the week ending the 2sth of Sep
tember.
There appearsto be very general dsinelinaton
on the part of cotton planters to submit to the
very high figures now demanded for bagging and
rope. Even iron hoop ties, which can be deliver
ed from Europe at five cents per pound, are held
at eighteen cents, and yet 1t is considered ques-
tionable policy to allow 3 vessel with those which
can be delivered at five cents to bring supply to
oar planters, for fear cargo of cotton may be
