The Matter Settled.

The Matter Settled.
The Louisville Courier learns by advices
from Cincinnati, that the controversy about
che two lines Of boats between Louisville
and St. Louis, has been finally adjusted, and
&hat opposition in that trade ceased on the
9th. Two of the Pittsburgh boats, the Gin
einnati and Messenger No. 2, are to unite
with the Mail line in the transportation Of
the daily mail between Louisville to ST. Louis
The Cincinnati will hereafter leave Louis
vile every Thursday, and st. Louis every
Sunday. The Messenger takes Tuesday
from st. Louis and Saturday from Louisville.
The other boats constituting the line will be
the Souiherner,. Northerner, Pike, Fashion,
and Telegraph No. 2. The Lady Pike and
Lady Franklin will be Withdrawn. This is
undoubtedly judicious arrangement for all
parties as the trade would not support an OPP
position line.
- The Louisville Courier of Monday
shus speaks of Capt. Glovers mail Contract:
Capt. Glover's mail contract was to have
commenced on the LIST inst, bat as yet no
mails have been given at the Louisville Pos,
Office. He has applied for them twice every
day, but DIR. Murphy, Special Mail Agent,
acting under instructions from the Depart.
ment, has declined to deliver them 20 Capt
Glover, on the ground that the boats he has
secured FOR the service carry freight. We
know nothing Of the matter more than what
we gather from hear-say. but there ca be no
doubt that extraordinary obstacles have been
thrown in Capt. GIover's way, but as he is a
man ofenergy, and has ample means at his
control, he will, we feel confident, be fully
able to perform all that he has contracted to
do.
