THE RIVER is stationary ut this point. with
about ~ water on Scuifletown bar. Large
boats are laying mp, and smaller ones taking
their places in all the important trades.
@The river business is dull at all points
above. The Pittsburg Gazette says:
Nobody can have the hardihooj of asking
us for river news; there is no news; there 10
scarcely any river. All there is, Is heat and
desire for "cool." The levee steams like Il
volcano. Near the middle of 1t the upper
wall of a sewer has tumbled in, and the dirty
water was boiling there to day. We can't
say whether or not 1T WAS boiling hot. The
Hudson created in Us an intense excitement,
on Saturday, by getting ready to depart for
Cincinnati. Such performance was auda-
cious, but If any boat can 90 out these days,
the Hudson is the boat that can do it. The
Minnetonsa went out as usual. A big Hat
loaded with stone jugs-red hot jugs-arri-
that it was in . fluid state in the boxes, but
can't swear TO it. $50 .
H-The Hungarian, Capt. Collier, and the
VIM. Noble, Capt. Newcomb, are being to- n
| to pieces at Cincinnati. New steamers, bear
ing the names Hungarian and Vim. Noble,
are now building-the former at Litherbury's,
and the latter at Johnston d. Morton's. The
machinery Of the old boats is to be placed Oh
the new steamers. Each vessel will be Isl
feet long; As feet beam, 40 feet floor, having
u capacity OF 1000 tons. They are to be built
exclusively for freight.
% The Eaves is the only packet for Lou
| sville to-day. She will leave here this

w A rumor has been current in New
York for month that Archbishop Hughes
of New York will be deposed. and Bishop
O'Conhnor of Pittsburg or McCloskey of AL
bany raised to the Arch Episcopal See. II is
said more recently that Archbishop Hughes
will sail in the next steamer for Rome,
whittier he is called on business of the
church. If there is any foundation for the
rumor that he was to be deposed, it is not
probable that he viii ever return. The
church and democratic journals say he will
be absent about a year.

they strcamcd down upon the parclled streets

stirred during most of the day and in the shade
the weather vas not so oppressive. In the
evening storm came up and the rain came
down in very torrents.
