Important from New Orleans.

New Orleans, Dec. 4. --There is no improvement in affairs here; but, on the contrary, matters are worse — business, in a word, is almost at a dead-lock, while quite a number of suspensions have taken place from the in ability of the parties to obtain relief, and the heavy fall in produce, particularly in cotton.

It is the impression of many here that the light receipts of cotton is because of the planters holding it back rather than accept of the low rates now current.

Operations in Exchange of all descriptions are small, and quotations very unsettled.--Money still goes hard, and at all sorts of rates.

The distrust of the future that exists is almost without a parallel, and it is feared the worst is yet to come.
