ber Of interments from yellow fever was 92-the
largest mortality yet reported for the same length of
time This increase is generally attributed to the
weather, which on Saturday night changed from the
extreme of suItriness to GOODNESS which dsarmed
the sun of its midday heat, and rendered blankets
comfortable at night This cool, bracing weather
continues. The climax Of the fever, if not noW
reached, is certainly not many days of.
FALL OF THE RIyER-several weeks ago the river
receded from high food mark, and continued to fall
though slowly. For few days past however, the
fall has been rapid and it has disclosed a fact
which is not only interesting and surprising to men
of science, but disagreeabe to steamboat men, and
perfectly appalling to the new sees Of one section
of the steamboat landing
This fact is the formation Of several acres of new
batture, in front of the landing between Canal and
St. Louis streets During the long continuance of
the muddy flood, the big eddy whose outer edge
sweeps that part Of the landing which have desig-
nated-the inner segment of the semicircle from
which New Orleans, in the last century, derived the
apDeIlation of the " Crescent City has been filed
up with more mud than any one flood was ever
before known to deposit 1t is no mud that has to be
felt after with dredging machines but new addition
to the shore, rising high above the water, and for
i
cent sized craft from reaching the woodwork Of the
levee. As everybody knows, there is slant of the
woodwork down to the water called the Z" apron :"
of the levee and this apron has always been the first
thing touched by the incoming steamers.
YESTERDAY, the fall of the river disclosed the as
founding fact, that the muddy deposit Of the food
had actually overcome the outer depths of the water,
and opened its mouth to swallow the leyee. The
Iyoo tol IN ando oUp
the edge of the apron and it was at once made ap'
parent that nothing could be more ridiculous than
for any steamer of any pretensons to make any sort
of landing.
The new nud-bar in front of the Second District
steamboat landing, was of course an object of the
greatest interest to great crowds of people, 1t was
SO solid, that the vagram boys ran up and down and
frolcked upon it with the widest glee. Crowds Of
people were scattered along, looking at it the agents
and friends of the coast steamers regarding it with
establishment and alarm and the new lessees of that
part of the wharges looking upon it as something
little less appalling than the upheaval of an earth
quake.
To render the spectacle still more interesting, the
steamer Bluff City, which the day before had loaded
in bssful ignorance of the quagmire which fondled
her keel was regularly stuck. She had her foot in il
M to her knee and an ambitious steamtug was trying
desperatelv to pull her out Whether she succeeded
or not, we did not wait to hear And dredgeboa
was teamng and digging away for dear life, to oper
channel through the mud for the Agiers femyboa
at the foot of Canal street. So much mud was neve
seen before by even the Oldest nhabitant and nothing
so sudden aud so serious ever before attempted tt
blockade the New Orleans landing.
AS we look upon it, one thing is sure: the lesses
l,,,linry have IN din q
mud to fill half the swamp back Of town. or build tn
. wbaryes half square or more further out into th
river It is nice job for the new contractors, an.
