RIVER HNTELLEGENCE.

THE RIVER is still falling, and the pros
-pect for a speedy opening Of navigation, for
lorn enough. The levee was never as crowd
ed with freight as it is now. Hundreds of
tons of pork and tobacco are lying on the
wharf, ready for shipment. 1t is probable
that our commission merchants will have it in
charge for some time. The wharf boats are
all aground-one of them nearly high and
dry. The river was rising at Cincinna att last
Sunday, owing to a gorge at Aurora.
OF The United States Mail Line boat,
MLlellan, arrived from New Orleans yester-
day, and is now laid up at the foot Of Locust
street
OF The Bowling Green left for Green
River yesterday, with light freight.
0T The business upon our Western riv-
ers has been less this year, than for many
years previous. The Ohio was only naviga-
bic in the year SO, from the LIST of March to
the LIST of June, and through the month Of
December, and the Mississippi and Missouri
have been more than usually troublesome to
boatmen on account of low water. The sus
pension of business upon our Western rivers
cannot fail to tell disastrously upon the mon
etary interests of the bordering States.
~ The Rainbow has again laid up fol

above Louisville, has attained heighth 0

CET The alarm of fire and ringing of bells
in Lamasco, yesterday afternoon, was report
ed to have been caused by an attempt on the
part Of the Sheriff, to sell the property of the
Union Engine Company at Sherift's sale
We learned from several sources, that the
bells were sounded for the purpose Of calling
the members of the Company together to pre-
vent the sale. We hope our LamascO friends
have some justifable reason for thier conduct,
as the act seems upon its face, to be rather
runjustifable. We can scarcely believe
that our Sheriff would exceed the bounds of his
sworn duty in forcing the sale of the property
in question.
LATER.-We learn that the Sheriff finally
took possession of the engine, and sold it for
a de1t due from Lamasco, without serious
opposition. The creditor became the pur-
chaser Of two thirds Of its appraised value,
The matter will be amicably adjusted, we
presume.
1t is much to be regretted that the matter
could not have been arranged without pro-
ceeding to the cXtremities of legal sale
The occurrence gave rise, in the evening" to
some demonstrations of feelings, that were
not calculated to facilitate an adjustment Of
the difficulty.

IS The Library Ass )ciation which does
much honor to our city, and confers so many
benefits upon our citizens, yesterday elected a
new Board of Directors, who, to prevent the
change being regretted, must not sleep over
their trust. 1t is an institution of great i'm
portance to the moral, social and intellectual
advancement Of the city; and to continue it's
influence, its library and reading department
must be carried forward and enlarged, as
those who use it, advance in their culture and
intellectual wants; it must keep step with their
progress, which from what we observe of its
influence, is very rapid. The city is deeply
indebted to those by whose efforts it was
established, and by whose fostering care it has
been made so prosperous, useful and popu-
lar. Among those, by whose public spirit and
muniicenco it was begun, none deserve so
much honor and gratitude a. JUDGE FOSTER
who in the beginning, prepared the present
rooms, and gave the Association the use o.
them for three years at a nominal rent For
this liberal act, he should ever be remember
ed by all who may enjoy the benefits of the
Library, as the most generous of its early
benefactorS.
