A good Sign.

--Mr. J. V. Durand, agent for the house of J. R. Jaffray & Co., of London, was in our city on yesterday. We learn from him that this well known British firm designs establishing an agency in New Orleans, for the importation of goods, wares and merchandize of every character, direct from Europe, with the view of supplying all orders from Southern merchants. Every movement of this kind — the natural sequence of Lincoln's blockade — will add to the growth of Southern cities in just such proportion as it detracts from the industrial prosperity of those in the North.--Memphis Appeal, 17th.
