NEW ORLEANS. - The Times of Saturday
says:
The weather yesterday, unlike its prede-
| cessor, was of a decided winterlsh ch arac-
| ter The sudden change in the elements
| on Thursday evening brought on norLh-
| er, with rain, which continued until late
| in the night, when the rain ceased, and
| the atmosphere continued cool through
/ out the entire OF yesterday. Verify, Gu
| rious weather for A Aprii. We noticed fires
| in the stoves OF maRy boats at the landing,
| just the same as though Winter was at
| nand.
| Business on the landing yesterday was
| extremely dull for Friday, although gem
| orally speaking Friday Is invariably look
| ed upon as the duIlesb of the week. There
| are several packets at the landing, some
| of which have been lying there for several
| days awaiting, Il Ike "MicaWner," for some
| thir z to turn up. There is very little
| freight Offering Tor our tributaries, while
| the arrivals bring in scarcely enough to
| defray expenses, in fact some do not fare
| so fortunate.
