New ORLEANS. - The Times of

The weather, yesterday, was rather
with a cloudy sky, indicating
the appearance Of rain; it, however,
rain any after all. This treat
quite unexpected by the COM
munity in general, as it rained every
day previously for some time past,
and as none fell here yesterday it was
quite a wonder to witness but as the
old adage will have it, Never boiler
until you're out of the woods" as we
might have plenty Of it aglin to-day.
Business movements on the landing
for the end Of the week were more
active than on any Of the former
days. There were not as many de-
partures as we have seen on like oc-
casions, but for those that left a fair
amount of freight was noticeable on
their decks.
