The stock in warehouses and on ship-board is
2300 900 bales. But truce to cotton, says some
one confound cotton says another; what crlno-
line is that spreading down Oil the other side OF the
street, says another; whose two thousand dollar
carriage is that with the thousand dollars span OF
bays says another. And so the talk on the flags
waggcd along until some fresh appearer for the
day appeared On the flags, saying that the Con-
federated States Of America were recognized by
the British Government. How is that, says another!
CPerhaps he may be moderate Southern man
only.) How can the Southern Contcdcracy be
recognized by England? Why the flag of the Con
fcdrrate States CEe flag with seven stars) is flying
at the fore-royal mast Of fine, stately ship, or
noble looking vessel, with the insignia, the flag Of
| Great Britain flying at its peak. Though the flying
| of lllg may be considered matter Of little i'm
p0rtGncc. yet they who understood the question
| took it in different light and to be certain that
the flags Of England and the CoGfedcrated States
were in unison. a committee proceeded to the
lcvee, and at post No. IS, First District, witnessed
the pleasing emblem Of great commercial interests,
the two flags galIautly floating from the British
ship George a. Holt, Capt. Robinson. This is the
first instance Of the hosting and recognizing of the
flag of tn Cunlederated States by any foreign YES
sci. The George A. Holt is a noble looking vessel
John Bull can indeed be proud of his subjects.
She is Of 1919 tons, and named after one of the old
habituts of our 1lags-One Of our old cotton buy
ers-who we believe, has appeared our flags
every season for nearly quarter Of a century
The further talk was Of the movements at
Washington City. This great public Of New Or
leans has been sufficiently bored with the eftusion
of telegraph operators or purVeyors = sensation
dispatches, in fact, ghths of the published
dispatches regarded as such, and receive NJ
crcdcnce whatever. The inquiry is made abon
Fort Sumter. We aware that there are sym
pathizers with the Administration of the Northern
States that there are correspondents of Northern
papers who indite real lies and Ellschoods as cooll1
as they would eat a dinner at the St. Charles
Hotel
There was some talk Of the loss of the shil
} Judith bound hither from Calcutta, the cargo 0
which would have been a great acquisition to tn
! general trade of city. The judith had O
: board, as pat of her cargo, two thousand an
fourteen bales of gnnny cloth.
} There is talk of more insurance companies bein
in course of organization on our figs. We suppos
this aliudes to the act of Incorporation granted b
the Legislature to create the Pelican lnsuranc
+ Company. The Commissioners designated in tn
charter are all old citzens-Soulc to the mano
c born, and others willing to swim or sink with ou
d great Emporium. We have not had leisure to rea
; the charter thoroughly. The capital Of the Con
II pany is fixed at ten millions Of dOllars-to con
mcnce business as soon as three hundred thousai
o dollars are subscribed. With the yearly augmcl
taion of business it is believed that there will
= ample business foy the intended company. The il
IS tent of the company is to take fire, marine, rivi
and life risks, and it is presumed in the course
$ time they will be sufficiently flush to take ie
IL hundred thousand dollars Of paper, by the way
ia assisting trade and commerce, and aid in rcatai
l. ing the usuriou5 ideas OF Northern buyers Of ol
factors paper, who are always on the llgs i'll Il
,r way Of good pickinss.
