CRY Consecutive dropped in upon our
City Fathers, on Monday evening, to see how
matters were conducted in the Chamber we
read ofin Cup Towns" reports. His Honor
fills the chair with no little dignity, and seems
to feel the responsibility resting On him as the
''chef magistrate of our growing place. The
comfortably in arm chairs, beguiling the te-
dunn with an occasional segar, thougha strict
watch is kept upon the financial interests,
and our citizens may be assured of one thing,
that the Council do not expend cent unne-
cessarily. Our visit convinced us that the
affairs are in good hands.

RIvER.-The river has become a mere
"shadow of it's former self" Thirteen inches
by the metal mark" say our dispatches from
Pittsburg, and occasionally for variety fall
ing" In all our chronicles of the river, we
have never been able to note such stage as
the present one. Few boats-few passengers
little water and plenty of bad bars. We
cannot hope, Judging from the past, for rise
before the middle of November. As to the
Mississippi the St. Louis Republican of Mon
day says:
The river at this point was falling slightly
yesterday. The last boat up from Cairo re-
ports five feet in the channel. We have 10
report of any material change in any of the
upper rivers. They are all in a low sickly
condition. Arrivals were numerous yeste1-
day.

OF The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is
doing an immense business. Its receipts dur
ing August were, for passengers, $4,000; for
freight, $4,000; total $4,000; being an
increase of $4,000 over the corresponding
month in 1855, and this result was realized
notwithstanding an interruption of a week
caused by landslide on the mountain divi-
sion. The increased revenue for the first
seven months of 1856, exceed those for the
same months in 1856 by 100000. The ag-
gregate revenue for seven months of 1856
amounts to S4,4OO,O0O.
