Will find all things on this craft-tine cabin

iowA RIvFR.-The steamers John Heron
and Oquawka, have been making trips late
ly TO Wapello. twelve miles from the mouth
oi the Iowa. The Wapello Mteliinencr
says the river is in good boating order and
ireishts plenty.
TilE river at this point had fallen two or
three inches at III o'clock yesterday morn.
ing, when it became stationary and remain.
ei 50 only short time At Is o'clock.r.M
it had regained lis loss and three inc ,es
more, and was still rising at dark There
was less drift in the river Yesterday than
on Monday There is from eighteen inches
to three feet of water in the cellars below
Market street. The last arrivals from the
Missouri, report the river rising rapillv.
and the small streams pouring out full be,
low Little Pattc at Parksville At St. Jo-
seph the river has risen very little.
The Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers
are about as last reported el-the Uppar Miss
issippi rising below keokuk and the Hli-
nois rising slowly and doverllowing the coun.
try from Peoria down The line of steam
boats at the Landing is gradually mooring
up nearer to the line Of houses.
From late accounts of rains in the uprer
couriry, We may anticipate rise of three
or fou! feet more before the river comes to
"A halt There is 40 prospect of any consil
erabie mountain rise in the Missouri, and
there are yet no Indications of a swell in
the river above st. Joseph
Yesterday morning the weather was fine
and clear. About ! O'Clock +. NJ, we were
visited, as usual, with a storm of wind and
lightning, and thunder, and rain. 1t rained
very hard for two or three hours. which nut
a stop to all outdoor business, and prevent
ed several steamers from leaving port which
would otherwise nave gone ont. The sys-
TEN has chance! from raining every other
day to raining every day. Steamboa,men
give up, and say they never saw the like
and we doubt if the "oldest inhabitanto in
