Memphis packets, are both expected this
morning from Louisville for Memphis. They
are both fast boats, have excellent accommoda-
tons, and are under control of clever men,
But these boats have no business starting out
from ports the same day. They are losing
money by it, and gaining no reputation. Be-
sides, they would be greater public accom-
modation by taking different days. Let them
at once come to an understanding on this SUBJ
ject. The Garvin beat the Kate Frisbee to
Louisville the last trip up, about three hours,
as we understand. There was only a few
minutes difference in time from Memphis to
this point.
The Louisville Courier says the Eclipse
took down last trip to New Orleans 1852 tons
of freight, and declares this the largest trip
ever taken to New Orleans by an Ohio river
boat. In the same paper there is a sheer at
the Cincinnati tubs. Now the Cincinnati
built steamer Maria Dennng took down a
couple weeks ago 1,7l6 tons. and could have
taken about 800 tons more, but her guards
were not sheathed, and being on her first trip,
Capt. Carroll did not like to run any risk. She
carried down the largest trip ever taken out
of the Ohio river on one hull, and has the
largest freight capacity Of any boat in the
West A pretty broad and deep Cincinnati
tub" amt she?
- We neglected to make mention Of the
accident to the Yorktown No. 2, mentioned in
the following dispatch to the Cincinnati Com
mercial:
EVANSVILLE April 10.
EDS. CoM-The Yorktown No 2, when
about five miles below Cannelton in Troy
Reach, encountered heavy gale, which
caused the water to run high over her forecas-
tie, on which was slowed some $50 bbls of
lime. The water coming in contact with the
lime soon set it on fire, and we had to throw
overheard about $50 bbls to save the boat.
We are now all right-will enter protest at
this place, and proceed upon our trip. Have
a full freight, but not many passengers.
Yours truly, &C., H. N. DUBLE.
