War Tfmes In New Orleans.

- AAAAA~9 AAA 4NNUH VAACA420t
The New Orleans papers have some inter
eetipg items under the head stalk On
Change" The Crescent Gays:
There were gatherings on the flags Of Caron.
DELFT yesterday. True, they did not exceed
corporate guard, but It is with profound feel
i1gs Of so1ToW that We have to record that the
prestige Of Carondelet stEeet is one of the
things that were. We allude to it IN the real
sense Of the word. No cotton on the market;
consequently no exchange making.
We hardly know how to balance accounts
with Carondelet street. No cotton, no ex
change, and no shaying-the glorious srspen-
sion Of coin payments by our banks having
knocked the thaverr- -shylockE-into the mid
Gle Of next week or next year-alnnost induces
us to write the epitaph Of Carondelet.
We ere eaked how Tommy 8. Serril1 got
cut Of the Bastile. As we said at the time Of
his arrest, the Inco1nites would not make
much ont Of him, our expressions are con
| fTmed. He was reported TO be an agent Of
tie Bark Of England. He was Just as much
an agent as citizen Fass man's boss drayman.
| But Herrill has got ont Of ihe Lincoln Bastile.
| SCme Of our cotton factors would be glad to
receive certain balances for cotton shipped
through him.
The sequestration act is freely commented
on. For the information Of al branches OF
Northern firms we have to state that they are
| required to present a full balance sheet to tbs
| authorities. For inBtnnce: q copartner Of q
Northern commercial firm is required to close
at or &c and adjust the balances. If there i5
anything due to Northern copartners, it is IN
der 6equestTation.
The suspension Of the banks seems to have
GRATED an instant scarcity Of small change
the effects Of which, as thus stated By the
IfcoJuHe, are amusing:
"The1e was great comuotion in the dit
ferent markets this morning, On account o
the great difficulty of procuring and making
change among the butchers and market no
men. The purchasers, or marketers, were al
SO in great distress, as they found their bar
geins stopped SITTER having concluded them
By the tmpediment Of procuring the ready.
All Etrts OF plans we're resorted to; tn
| butchers offered q premium for change, ant
falling to obtain it, made up the balance du4
in dimes and pieayunes By giving extra weigh
in the meats sold, &c. The hucksters did hi
same, and made up in potatoes, beans, turnip
and cabbages, for small changes due.
We learn also that tte::Lsfsyette aud Carrol
ten cars hAFe refused to give change for owe
, fifty cents, and that they NOW give tickets IL
: rettrn for charge. This plan will, no doubt
. be reaorted to BY cur city railroads, and thes
facilities will be aforded to passengers.
