Year: 1859

The chief talk yesterday was on the advices re.
ceved by the Canada they differ very little from
the predictions made in some circles two days since
We are gratifed to learn Of advance in cotton 1t
will help out many thousands Of bales in transitu as
the phrase goes But there is reliance to be plac-
ed on the ruler Of the French empire-we might call
him names not very polite to some ears. The hope
is, il he intends to make another coup deat he will
do it at once and end the suspense. The further
talk was, is it not ridiculous that the whims and
caprices of this mongrel the nephew Of the uncle,
should keep the commerce and finance OF the world
in complete state of agitation? So the talk went
yesterday, that if the fellow will fight or make war,
cotton will decline in England.


II the advices by the Canada are closely scanned,
it will soon be discovered that they are not to be re-
lied on. They speak Of peace then follows continued
preparations for war; increase Of armanents and SO
on. The talk is, what does all this mean ?-why 80
large armaments fitting and preparing! 30 far as
our individual views go, we would give postage
stamp for the prophecies and predictions regarding
the course Of events which may transpire in Europe
within the coming sixty days; II behooveH every
one, however to move along csu.isnsly vs.
will not rebound to any particular interest," In tne
meantime, we have only to repeat that many Of the
dispatches over the wires are conflicting.


Business continues active the Levee, the arrivals
are free, and most all the boats bring good loads.
The falling off in the cargees of cotton from Red
river is being recorded. For the information of those
who have made advances can state from positive
authority that there is sufficient cotton Lake Bis
teneau and Bayou Dorchette to keep four boats EN-
poyed from this time till the first Of June, provided
there is sufficient water therefore II the water keep
at the present STAGE the cotton will be here to canoe
obligations. The Western rivers continue at goot
stage, and the entire West can send forward the
products under the assurance Of speedy sales promp
returns, and at prices equal to those in Northern
cities. The facilities for transportation are free, AMI
sufficient medium sized vessels in port, and will b
in port to ensure early dispatch. We desire ou
Western friends and patrons to consider that there


some space at the bars mouth Of the river for man


hundreds of vessels to enter and depart. There ar


l3 feet to Is feet of water on the bar, and tina


is about the same depth there was forty year


ago so our country friends can send forward the


produce, it will bring them the best of prices, tn


best of pay and the owners can come along and spen


few weeks in the most fascinating and distingushe


metropolis of the age.


The opera house or academy OF music is progress


ing much depends on the location. We expect SUI
scribers will have contest on this point. 1t mu
be on some broad street, convenient to the conter
plated city railroads. The hope is expressed th


after the project is carried through, the stock of IL
, company will not decline to Is cents per dollar.


should prefer to invest in the opera of the tow.bo
associations, as the music of commerce is the gre


opera of the age. So the talk of tow-boats, shil
grounding, distinctions and operas, go together.
