From the Missouri River.

j ..,'p .ttJ/Iti ST. LOUIS, May IL.
The republican has advices Of the arrival of the
Mackinac Express boat in charge Of 10 Courant at
Kansas. She is from the Rocky Mountains and con.
aligned to the American Fur Company. They report
the from three to six inches deep only, and no
prospect of rise in the river from the mountains thi.
year. The Indians have been very troublesome and
are determined on the possession Of all the white
scalps in their region. The company was detained
by them two days.
The meeting formerly announced at Leavenworth
adjourned without any remarkable proceeding, all the
leading resolutions being to suffer the law to take its
course in the case Of McCrea who killed Clark
The steamer New Georgetown struck a snag in the
Missouri river, about six miles above its mouth, and
sunk. The boat is a total loss. She was filed with
Government stores, and is fully insured.

p@- Sand storms are frequent upon Third
street at this time, and sandry other places
about town. The clouds appear to have all
descended to the earth, and converted into
dust, which the wind takes up and sweeps
it along with as binding an effect as their
more celebrated prototypes in the Desert Of
Sahara. The sky is almost unclouded, and
there is enough of blue expanse visible to
make Admiral VAN TRoMP's tenth pair Of
of brooches.

FURs-Several parties have arrived in
the city, we understand, with the view of
purchasing shipping furs. A very consider
able quantity Of the most valuable varieties
are already stored, and ready for the mar
ket, and a stillfurther supply is almost daily
expected from the Upper Country. Prices
rule high.
Among the gentlemen who arrived, is one
who some six or eight weeks ago was an
eye witness of the operations of the Allied
Army before Sebastopol.

An action to recover the value of q consid-

originally received by plaintiff from various
makers, for sale on commission, and alleged
to have been placed in defendants care for
safekeeping only. Defendant replies, that
the goods were sold to him and conveyed
at the same time that large lot of other
goods, drugs which he had purchased of
complainant, were placed in his possession.
The testimony was voluminous and directly

After argument, the jury was discharged,
and the case continued until the next term

turn, wh:,n, it is alleged, materially conflict.
The second week of the term has been
finished, and there are number of jury tri-

The June number of this ever welcome
publication has been received, and as usual,
it is filled with highly entertaining and in
structiye articles. Among the prose con-
tributions are the following -" The Sun

together with a full quota of poetical gems.
The frontispiece is an engraving entitled {:
Z" The first Scrape," which is exceedingly
|lifelke. A little urchin has at length Sc
cured that long coveted prize, a violin, and
with his music poised upon rude stand, he
proceeds to discourse, to him "sweet sounds,
but which to the other occupants of the room
seem to be any thing else but agreeable
The good housewife, as the first attempts
at melody falls upon her ear, raises her hand
deprecatingly, and look of annoyance is
clearly portrayed upon her countenance,
whilst the faithful dog sets up defiant bark,
and retreats towards the door, The little
musician, nothing daunted at this cool re-
ception on the part Of his audience, perse-
veres. With his eyes intently fixed upon
the page before him, and his body bent for
ward, his lips slightly parted, he is the very
picture of intense interest to the subject be-
fore him.
