III. Bridges, from Green River to Louisville.
~ THE RIVER was rising slowly last
evening, with plenty of water on the Falls at
Louisville for first class boats. 1t rained
steadily nearly all day yesterday, and from
appearances, we have every reason to believe
that the wet. weather is general. 4 further
rise may be anticipated.

,y" A few days since we published par
agraph from the Louisville Courier, an
nouncing the mysterious disappearance of
clerk Kirby of the steamer Republican. The
following from the New Albany Ledger
throws some light upon the subject:
We have seen gentleman who was in st.
! Louis few days since. He informs us that
he has no idea that Mr.. Kirby has been muir
dered, or that he has committed suicide. lie
saw both Capt. Montgomery and Mr.. Kirby,
and learned from both that there was n diff
| ficulty in the settlement of Mr.. KS accounts
he being behind, according to Capt. NJ,
some $500. Capt. Montgomery has the full
est confidence in Mr.. Kirby's integrity, and
believes that he will yet appear and make
everything right. Our informant thinks
| Kirby has concealed himself by advice OF
counsel, until some arrangement in relation
| to the matter shall be made.

The following touching, simple, and sor.
rowful memorial of his wife was written by
one of the greatest statesmen of England
Sir James Mackntosh-in a private letter
to a friend.-"She was woman" he
writes" who by tender management Of my
weaknesses, gradually corrected the most
pernicious of them. She became prudent
from affection ! and though of the most
generous nature, she was taught frugality
and cconmy by her love for me. During
the most critical period Of my life, she pre-
served order in my affairs. From the care
OF which she relieved me. Size gently re-
claimed me from dissipation, she propped
my weak snd irresolute nature: she urged
my Incidence to all the exertion that have
been useful and creditable to me, and she
was pcrpetuaIIy at hand to admonish nv
heedlessness and improvidence. To her
owe whatever I shall be. III her solici-
tude for my interests, she never for mo-
ment forgot my character. der feelings
were war IN and impetuous, but sbe& was
placable tender, and constant. Snch was
she whom l have lost and have lost her
whom knowledge Of her worth had re-.
fined my truthful love into friendship be-
fore age had deprived it ofmuch of its orig
inal ardor. 'fseek relief, and find it, in tile
consolatory opinion that benevolent wis
dem inflicts the chastisement, as well as be-,
slows the enjoyment Of human life that
this dreary and wretched life Is not the
whole ofman that a being capable OF
such proficiency in science and virtue; is
not like the beasts. that there ia a dwall;co ~
