Carondelet yesterday. On the grand boulevard
Canal there was fair turnout Of crinoline, suf.
fcient to maintain the preponderance Of tile Queer
OF trade and commerce, the great dry goods. Cot
ton is considered as King, then, Of course, manu-
faetnres OF cotton alias the great drygoods trade
must be considered as Queen, particularly at this
jnneture when some Of our largest dry-goods
houses are buying cotton ID the country that is,
Ton plantations for shipment somewhere. Let
ttaeses purchases pass we say let them come to
tle port and let them go from the port, as they
are intended for Europe. True, if English vessels
take cotton from here TO Liverpool, and il is there
seld and brought to Boston and New York at
cost Of 300. per b., that one of theeourses OF
trade and commerce. If our port should be opened
by Crest Britain and France, and cotton allowed
M go forward to Liverpool and Hayre, we cannot
perceive that we can preventits going from the
above ports to Yanksedom. Our planters desire
to sell them cotton ia fact, many Of them are in
want Of the necessaries Of life They can purchase
pork in Havana at from SIS to sl8 per barrel, and
pay for it in cotton; they can purchase hams, ac-
cordng 10 the last sales before u.s. at TO- per IT,,
and they, with other consumers, are to be prohi.
bitsd from sending few bales Of cottonto this or
the Cuban market for fear a few hundred bales
may reach the Yankee spinnerg at 8 cost Of about
s5oc. per y. IL the blockade is raised, our port
opened through Great Britain and France, and cot
ton allowed to be exported TO the markets Of these
kingdoms, how are we to prevent the Yankees
from obtaining supplies in these markets All we
have TO say to European merchants manufacture
ers and spinners, one and ALI il, the good people
of this Gonfe aeraey are ia want Of your manufac-
tured goods, your iron, your salt, your bagging,
your slatos, and many other articles too numerous
foSenumerate that il you send them to us, deliver
them Oh the great leYse Of New Orleans, we will
pay you with cotton, sugar and tobacco. We have
these articles fol sale and wasting on our hands
iIfY6ur, Government does not choose to,recognizes
Iua as Government, that will not prevent US from
receiving your commodities and paying for them
There is good deal of talk on the flags about
what gland and France win do With regard to
the STONE Blockade. They have submitted for
monthsIo the pretended blockade Of the Southern
coast from the Rio Grands to the Chesapeake
believe they are given up to submission. Possibly
sitter the 2ad Inst. they may change their IDEAS.
\ Unfortunately for all interests and the good Of
the Confederate States, the Congress now in ses.i
sion has not opened the ports, that IL, not sus.
pended the collection OF duties during the war
This is . great oversight. II the manufacturers
and others Of Manchester and Liverpool desire to
send million Of dollars worth of merchandise to
shls port, they viii have TO send with such ship
ments one hundred and fifty thousand dollars in
colu y pay duties. This is not the harbinger Of
irse trade nor does il lead to the expectation Of
many Monidshe shippers. who would run the risk
" sending % merchandise if they had not to send
gold along 70 pay import duties. We hope that
the permanent % regular Congress, which con,
venes on the 18th inst will remove these disabili.
ties and open the ports for all appropriations during
the war. sg n
The telegraph was silent yesterday. There was.
