ON CARONDELET STREET.

Dizziness was again the order of the day
yesterday, only about dozen sales Of
stocks being reported on the street, while
a much smaller number were made at the
evening board. In sterling and other
matters, however, as will be seen by refer
ence to the appropriate column, fair
business was done. But if money mat
ters continue difficult for many weeks. as
az present, Il viii be impossible to con-
vert into money to any extent the best
securities Of the country, if an entire
stop be not put to all transactions between
man and man, as has at some epochs been
known in much greater money marts than
New Orleans. But it is best to take the
times as they come and be always jolly,

imperial regime of France: As the boot

perial doors of the Tuileries, and bursting
madly On, Cutting their eyes on danaask
and soft chairs, tearing down crimson
canopies anu hangings, streaming them
from the windows or using them as red
flags for their nlUsket nuzzles, or kicking
the throne into the Seine while others sit
on the imperial furniture and drink from
the mouldy-topped bottles Of wine passed
up from NAPOLEON cellars, so do the hardy
carpenters, plasterers, and brick-masons
make sad havoc with the thousand
silded trappings Of the Imperial on
Carondelet street, which were so graphic
